Chapter 6: Breakthrough

Xiao Tian also said with a slight smile, stood up from the boulder and jumped down first, then turned around, opened his hands, and hugged Xun Er. The whole process went smoothly. Like flowing water, extremely natural.

The two separated at foot of the mountain. Xiao Tian returned to his courtyard alone. Xiao Yan lived in the courtyard next to him.

At this time, he could see that the lights in Xiao Yan's yard had already been extinguished, but only Xiao Tian knew that Xiao Yan is still training hard at this time, to recover his lost Dou Qi.

Xiao Tian shook his head and stepped into the room. Returning to the bed, Xiao Tian closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. He formed a seal with his hands and started practicing, preparing to breakthrough to Dou Zhe as he already reached the peak of tempering marrow stage. In this world, strength is still the first. Only when you are strong are you truly strong. And he did not want to waste his talent, even though he has terrifying bloodline to fasten the cultivation speed. But hard work is also important.

Slowly breathing in, Xiao Tian brought out the jade bottle from the system. Tilting the bottle, a blueish green pill rolled out.

Gazing upon the glossy and smooth Qi Gathering Pill, a small smile formed on Xiao Tian's face. He got it from the system sign-in.

Xiao Tian once again inhaled the fragrance that would ease one's heart. Licking his lips, Xiao Tian unhesitantly popped the pill into his mouth.

As the Qi Gathering Pill entered his mouth, an ice-cold sensation could be felt transmitting from his mouth. A split second later, a luke warm pure energy essence started transferring from his mouth into his body, eliciting a violent jerk of Xiao Tian's body.

With a serene face, Xiao Tian used both hands to quickly form the hand seal of absorbing Dou Qi. His breathing steadily eased as the Dou Qi within his body responded to his thoughts and started to rapidly tangle with the strong and pure essence from the pill to rapidly refine it.

Inside the room, the originally tranquil air suddenly heaved as lines of white Dou Qi gathered from the air and surged continuously into Xiao Tian's body.

Biting his lip in pain, the two energies collided within his body and caused a slight pain to emanate from the channels all over his body. Thankfully, Xiao Tian's channels were much tougher than an ordinary person's due to tempering his body to the peak of the tempering marrow stage and thus it did not cause too much damage to him.

In his body, the Dou Qi surrounded the pure green energy essence, rapidly refining it. Green energy was continuously being changed into white Dou Qi and with the newly formed Dou Qi to propel the process, the Dou Qi within Xiao Tian's body rapidly expanded to the point where it could be seen growing with the naked eye.

Even though the pure essence from the pill was being refined unceasingly, the essence kept flowing endlessly. Everytime the Dou Qi managed to refine a batch of essence, a new and bigger batch of green energy would gush forward.

With both Dou Qi being refined within his body and absorbed from outside, the Dou Qi within Xiao Tian's body gradually filled a large portion of his body's channels.

As before, the refining process continued. When the pill essence finally started to diminish and realised that the Dou Qi in his body had swelled to a critical point and could no longer be increased.

Taking in a deep breath of cool air, Xiao Tian's hand seals suddenly changed in a flash of understanding. Touching his thumbs and middle fingers at the same spot, the ten fingers in his hand formed a weird hand seal.

Following the change in hand seal, the surging Dou Qi within Xiao Tian's body suddenly flooded downwards under a wild and ferocious sucking force from the abdomen.

When all of the Dou Qi had gathered into the abdomen area, the white Dou Qi started turning to a milky white color.

Xiao Tian concentrated his mind and in an instant, his outstanding soul perception acquired control over the Dou Qi. The rapid compression started...

The milky white Dou Qi resisted the guidance of the soul perception, violently churning about.

Though the resistance was in no way weak, Xiao Tian's strong spiritual perception the Dou Qi resistance was akin to a praying mantis trying to block a car, only slightly resisting before grudgingly pulling back.

When the Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a palm, it froze and stopped moving.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Tian's spiritual perception surrounding the white Dou Qi abruptly peaked in power before ruthlessly pressing down!

"Bang!"

A light muffled noise quietly sounded within Xiao Tian's body...

Following this, the resistance from the Dou Qi finally dissipated, leaving behind a drained Xiao Tian.

After a while, Xiao Tian breathed out gently and let his thoughts gradually delve into the mysteries of his body.

Inner View: a support technique unique to those of Dou Zhe level and above. The greater one's strength, the deeper one would be able to explore and penetrate the deeper mysteries of one's body.

His thoughts ventured into his abdominal area, where a milky white palm-sized Vortex slowly stirred. Cream-white energy swirled around the Vortex in a nebulous mist.

Observing the tiny Vortex with his thoughts, Xiao Tian nodded his head –he was satisfied. Although the Vortex was tiny, the energy contained within it was more than ten times more potent than what he had when he was 9th stage Dou Zhi Qi!

Dou Zhe and 9th stage Dou Zhi Qi had different natures. The energy assimilated before becoming a Dou Zhe was actually called Dou Zi Qi, after becoming a Dou Zhe, the assimilated energy was now known as true Dou Qi!

His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, revealing a milky white light that lingered for about ten seconds before fading away within his black pupils.
