Chapter Twelve: Breakthrough

  But as Ye Qing arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, he saw that this mountain was towering into the clouds, and the entire sky was covered by its peak. The whole body of Buzhou Mountain was shrouded in white immortal mist. As he walked towards the foot of the mountain, a huge pressure came rushing forward, which was precisely Pangu's spine.

  The majestic momentum left by the backbone, and the more you walk up, the more you feel the enhancement of the oppressive atmosphere. At the highest point, the oppression is so great that it has reached an unimaginable realm. This oppression is vast and natural, mysterious and extraordinary, and others do not know its subtleties.

  This time, Ye Qing came to Buzhou Mountain just to see if it was possible to find the Innate Spiritual Treasure or the Innate Spiritual Root. Buzhou Mountain is the transformation of Pangu's spine, supporting the pillars of the Honghuang universe, so many Innate Spiritual Treasures are born in Buzhou Mountain, and the mountain's pressure is so great that only those who have reached the Quasi-Saint Realm can climb to the summit.

  Ye Qing lifted her foot and headed towards Mount Buzhou, taking a closer look at its grandeur and mystery.

  Only one person was seen wearing a black tight-fitting suit, taking one step at a time towards the precipice of Mount Buzhou. The newcomer had a handsome and resolute appearance, with a head of enviable jet-black long hair that was casually tied up, fully displaying his elegant demeanor. His eyes were

  Twinkling with winged starlight, looking up at the top of the Buzhou Mountain peak, it seems to be able to see the top.

  He came step by step, without relying on spiritual treasures or magical powers, but simply with his mortal body towards the peak. This person's background is quite strange, often taking one step and covering several miles, and when looking again, there is no sign of him.

  This person is indeed Ye Qing. Since Ye Qing stepped onto the Mountain of No Return a million years ago, he has not wanted to use the Xian Yuan in his body to resist the pressure of the mountain. Instead, he relied solely on his own strong physique to withstand it. Ye Qing thought that by using the immense pressure of the Mountain of No Return to suppress his strong body, he could stimulate the progress of the Evolution Key. Because since Ye Qing climbed the Mountain of No Return, he discovered that the speed of the Evolution Key's operation had increased significantly. At first, Ye Qing thought it was because the Evolution Key had absorbed the aura of the Mountain of No Return, causing its cultivation speed to accelerate.

  When Ye Qing accelerated the absorption of the scattered aura from Mount Buzhou, the running speed of the Evolution Technique did not change. Finally, Ye Qing thought that it was the massive pressure of Mount Buzhou that caused the cultivation of the Evolution Technique to accelerate. After knowing the reason for the acceleration of the Evolution Technique's cultivation, Ye Qing no longer used the Xianyuan in his body to resist the pressure of Mount Buzhou, but instead relied solely on his physical body to withstand it.

  In these ten thousand years, Ye Qing's evolution has made great progress. Although the energy inside his body has been constantly increasing and his physical strength has also been continuously enhanced, now Ye Qing's Xian Yuan is three times that of before, and his physical strength has increased by two times, but he can't break through the fifteenth layer peak, as if being suppressed by something.

  However, Ye Qing didn't mind too much, as long as his spiritual energy and physical body were getting stronger, he would eventually break through the Evolution Technique. What Ye Qing didn't know was that the reason he couldn't break through the 16th layer of the Evolution Technique was due to the pressure from Mount Buzhou. If Ye Qing wanted to break through, he had to overcome the pressure from Mount Buzhou. If Ye Qing were to leave the pressure of Mount Buzhou now, he would quickly be able to break through the 15th layer and enter the 16th layer. However, the reason for this was not something that Ye Qing knew at present. Although Ye Qing couldn't break through under the immense pressure of Mount Buzhou, there was a good side effect - his foundation had been solidified to an unprecedented degree, and his spiritual energy had been refined to an extremely pure state under the pressure of Mount Buzhou, paving the way for his future cultivation.

  Like this, Ye Qing stepped up step by step, firmly advancing towards the top of Buzhou Mountain, and each step showed Ye Qing's unshakeable faith.

  Finally, Ye Qing saw the top of Bu Zhou Mountain, but now his body was covered in bright red blood, and his flesh was about to collapse. However, Ye Qing still continued to climb unswervingly, using all his strength to leave behind a trail of blood with every step.

  I want to climb up, I don't want to be a weakling. With this idea in mind, Ye Qing struggled to move towards the summit of Bu Zhou Mountain. The Evolution Key was rapidly circulating within Ye Qing's body, constantly repairing his physical form. However, as soon as his body was repaired, it would immediately collapse again, and so the cycle continued, with Ye Qing's body rapidly growing stronger.

  Ye Qing's consciousness was now on the verge of becoming blurred, but he managed to hold on solely due to his unwavering determination. The demonic blade intent of the Jie Mo Dao was wildly howling, slowly condensing into a massive knife shadow that stood over 100 million feet tall behind Ye Qing. With each step forward, it would shrink by a fraction, becoming increasingly pure.

  The purple-blue spiritual energy orbs within Ye Qing's Sea of Consciousness were frantically circulating along the profound trajectory of the Jing Xin Jue, rapidly transforming into a deep purple hue.

  Three hundred steps...

  Two hundred steps...

  One hundred steps...

  Fifty Steps

  Ten steps...

  Three steps... two steps...

  When Ye Qing finally took the last step, the massive Xian Yuan in his body went crazy and rotated wildly, making a loud noise. Ye Qing finally broke through the suppression of Buzhou Mountain, and the massive pure Xian Yuan continuously repaired Ye Qing's nearly collapsing body, slowly seeping into his blood, and constantly transforming his blood vessels.

  The vast pre-heavenly spiritual energy between heaven and earth was continuously gathered, swallowed, and absorbed by Ye Qing. The pre-heavenly spiritual energy within a radius of 100,000 miles outside Ye Qing's body was completely absorbed by him. Buzhou Mountain's pre-heavenly spiritual energy constantly supplemented this space, but it was absorbed by Ye Qing before it could be replenished.

  As the absorption of pre-heavenly spiritual energy became insufficient, Ye Qing's range of absorption expanded further and further, eventually extending to a radius of 10,000 miles. Ye Qing's sea of consciousness also underwent earth-shaking changes. When the spiritual energy balls in his sea of consciousness completely turned purple, massive spiritual power continuously collapsed into the interior of the ball, constantly absorbing spiritual energy.

  A large amount of spiritual energy was continuously absorbed, and the collapsing ball slowly produced a drop of... As the spiritual power continued to be absorbed, more and more... appeared inside the ball. Finally, a fist-sized spiritual... was formed within the 10-meter radius ball.

  The Jie Mo Dao also reached a new height when Ye Qing climbed Buzhou Mountain, from its original 1 million zhang to just 1 meter. The massive knife intent covered the entire sky and earth, suppressing the whole of Buzhou Mountain. The Jie Mo Dao finally broke through to the mid-stage of the seventh layer.

  After this breakthrough, Ye Qing's cultivation reached the peak of the second heaven, and in the vast universe, only a few pre-heavenly gods could resist him.

  Ye Qing felt the immense power flowing through his body, he urgently needed to find a place to hide and cultivate for a period of time, but before that, he wanted to search for some spiritual treasures in Mount Buzhou.

  Ye Qing released the Quiet Mind Incantation to reach the seventh layer of his massive spiritual power, searching for the innate spiritual treasures and roots in Mount Buzhou. Soon, Ye Qing found an innate spiritual treasure and a strand of innate spiritual root. The innate spiritual treasure was thirty-six Earth-Conquering Pearls found in a cave in Mount Buzhou, guarded by seventy-two Earth-Killing Arrays. As Ye Qing broke through the array, he also learned this Innate Great Array. The thirty-six Earth-Conquering Pearls were top-grade innate spiritual treasures and had thirty-six restrictive spells.

  Ye Qing found a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit. It grew in a place called the Five Elements Land, where all five elements were present. If there was a chance, a tree could grow on this land, and after ten thousand years, it would bloom with flowers, and after another ten thousand years, it would bear fruit. However, the fruit would only have five colors, each representing one of the five elements. The tree was also called the Five Elements Tree. When the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit ripened, the Five Elements energy on the land and above the tree would be completely absorbed by the fruit. Once the fruit was picked, the Five Elements energy would disappear, leaving the Five Elements Tree without the nourishment of the Five Elements energy.

  Comparable in preciousness to the Starfruit Tree, Ye Qing found it when

  Next to it is the Five Elements Spirit Spring, arranged in the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, forming a pre-heavenly five elements array that protects the five elements spirit root. Ye Qing also learned this array. After putting away the five elements spirit root and the five elements spirit spring into the Earth Spirit Treasure Book, he couldn't wait to go into seclusion.
