Breakthrough Mania Part 4

......

Most cultivators weren't able to increase the size of their Qi cyclones unless they were extremely talented or used some sort of auxiliary herb to supplement their lack of talent.

Azmond was part of this talented section of people and didn't need to rely on any sort of magical herb to increase the size of his Qi cyclones.

...

"I have the unique skill books and techniques in this world to look forward to acquiring as well."

Expectation for his future power filled Azmond's heart as he finished levitating out of the pit he found himself in and landed on the hard ground with a loud thud.

*Thud!* 

"It looks like that breakthrough took a little more out of me than I expected."

His face quickly displayed exhaustion as he examined his body for injuries, discovering that every single part of his body was injured one way or another...

Almost all of Azmond's bones were completely shattered, and his muscles were on the verge of collapse as they were barely holding themselves together inside of him.

"I knew that my breakthrough into the 14th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation would be far worse than all my previous breakthroughs, but..." A pained look almost appeared on Azmond's face before it quickly returned to one of indifference. "I didn't expect it would be this bad... All of my internal organs are damaged one way or another, and my body is well." 

"I could play one of the walking dead in a zombie show if I were to audition right here and now," he mused to himself with a small, wry smile.

...

'Oh well... I just need to shrug it off and resume my cultivation session. After all, I still have the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation in front of me. And that's not to mention the Foundation Establishment Realm that comes right after it,' Azmond thought to himself with a determined expression as he got up off the ground and walked back toward the giant spiritual stone he had been cultivating at for the last few weeks.

It was honestly a complete mystery that he was even able to stay conscious right now, let alone stand up and walk around like everything was completely fine with him, considering that his body state would be the worst nightmare of any surgeon back on Earth...

But what would surprise those surgeons even more is the insane rate at which Azmond's body was healing itself.

His healing speed had reached utterly absurd levels after going through so many physical transformations after each breakthrough!

The physical boost he got after each breakthrough didn't just pertain to pure physical strength. He also gained marginal increases in every aspect of his body, including the increased functionality of his internal organs.

On top of that, Azmond did not need to relieve himself anymore, as his body had already evolved beyond the point of needing to do activities that mortals needed to do. 

That included the need to eat any sort of food and drink any kind of liquid.

The only liquids that he felt the need to drink were Crystalline's liquids...

...

"I should just continue cultivating and stop worrying about useless things, such as the weird sounds my bones are making every time I try to move."

Azmond was unwavering in his pursuit of reaching the peak of the world of cultivation as he sat down in a lotus position before beginning to absorb the Qi from the giant spiritual stone he found himself near.

*Crick* *Cracket* 

But not before his bones made a few more skeleton-like sounds as he tried to sit down.

His legs snapped in half when he reached the ground floor, but Azmond continued to cultivate despite the lack of working legs.

He had the utmost faith in the hopes that his healing speed would always beat the rate at which his body deteriorated.

Azmond was a very intense gambler, it seems...

...

A few days later,.

"Condensing my cultivation base 12 times over and re-cultivating all the way back to the peak of the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation would probably take years at the rate I am going at if not for the giant spiritual stones around here." Azmond spoke to himself with a thoughtful tone.

'I wonder how long this one giant spiritual energy stone will last, though? I have been cultivating using this same stone for a while now, but it doesn't look like the energy stored within it has gone down at all.'

A contemplative look emerged on his face as he started to wonder about the mysteries surrounding these giant spiritual stones and the humongous tree that lays in the middle of them all. 

A giant tree that Azmond still hasn't found the opportunity to go and check out.

...

'... I guess I will thoroughly explore this weird garden once I have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. I am quite curious about what sort of phenomenon would need to occur for something as unusual as this place to form.'

Azmond's look of pondering disappeared after he thought that, as he swiftly refocused his attention on condensing his cultivation base.

Which was when his current cultivation progress was brought to mind,

'It took me 3 whole days just to reach the peak of the 14th Stage and condense my cultivation base down for the first time, as it looks like reaching 12 cultivation base condensations will take far longer to reach than it took for me to reach the peak of the 13th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation.' 

The inexpressiveness that came along with constantly cultivating once more filled Azmond's heart, as he didn't care about much while focused on gaining more power.

The only thing that could steer his attention away from cultivating was his Little Ice Flower, who was currently sleeping on a giant bed without a single care in the world.

Her two milky white bunnies were standing up proudly, as if there were no summits higher than them in this world.

Not even her loose, baggy robe could hide the voluptuousness of her milky white mountain peaks!

...

Crystalline's pretty little face seemed to be the only thing that could add some light to Azmond's dull world.

Of course, Azmond himself thought that cultivating had to be the most satisfying thing in existence.
