Chapter 621

"When the power of heaven and earth floods the body, it is like mountains and rivers overturning, rivers flowing backward; if the physique is not strong, one may be shattered by the impact, bones breaking and tendons snapping."

"Generally, to reduce risk, one may choose to take spiritual medicines instead of the power of heaven and earth, first condensing a faint Jin Gang within the body, then guiding the power of heaven and earth to flood the body."

"Therefore, to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, both mind and spirit and physique must be formidable; otherwise, it is seeking one's own death."

"Once Jin Gang is formed, one becomes truly transcendent, undergoing a life transformation; internal lifespan increases greatly, while externally one can communicate with and control the power of heaven and earth to fight, doubling the power..."

"In terms of will, my Yu Xin Dao Jing has reached perfection; absolutely no problem. In terms of physique, also no problem; Ming Wang Bu Dong Shen has reached perfection, so there is no need to worry about being unable to withstand the impact when the power of heaven and earth floods the body."

"If a physique like mine cannot withstand the impact when the power of heaven and earth floods the body, how many people in the world can break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm?"

Xu Yang recalled the key points of breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, then examined himself, confirming there was no possibility of failure and backlash; he locked the door of the Jingshide Sect, then sat on the cushion.

In front of the cushion lay the eight treasures lotus seeds remaining from before and the dragon whisker root obtained from Liu Liu Xunfeng.

Although he was certain his breakthrough would not fail, when promoting to the Heavenly Origin Realm, the body undergoes transformation and urgently needs massive energy; there is no time for him to slowly refine the power of heaven and earth, so spiritual medicines are the best energy source.

"Breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm happens today!"

Calming his thoughts and carefully recalling the Yao Jue of the Li Huo Gong once more, Xu Yang began to circulate the Li Huo Gong.

This was a difficult process; he had been cultivating the Fu Yue Xiong Jing since the beginning of his cultivation, and now he must switch to cultivating the Li Huo Gong, requiring a period of adaptation.

As countless Xing Gong pathways changed, the originally sharp, fierce, and heavy characteristics of the Huang Jin Jin Gang gained an additional scorching heat.

Time passed unknown; Xu Yang felt it was about right, so he began to circulate the heart technique to guide the power of heaven and earth to flood the body.

In an instant, all his Jin Gang and mind and spirit surged toward the Baihui point atop his head.

Breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm; originally, piercing through the Tiandizhi Sect was the most difficult step; back then, Yan Yan Guiyun secluded himself for several months, using basically all that time to pierce through the Tiandizhi Sect.

But at this moment, beneath Xu Yang's domineering Jin Gang and formidable mind and spirit, the Tiandizhi Sect was pierced through as easily as an eggshell.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound, audible only to the mind and spirit, came; Xu Yang felt a shock of leaping out of a well and seeing the true fullness of the world, feeling that compared to heaven and earth, he was infinitesimally small.

"Boom!"

The next moment, before he could feel more, a vast, unimaginable pressure pressed down upon his mind and spirit, as if it would crush his entire mind and spirit into dust.

The power of heaven and earth floods the body!

Xu Yang's heart grew stern; he knew this was not the time for emotion; the true peril of breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm had begun.

Centered on his Baihui, as if a dam had developed a breach, vast amounts of the power of heaven and earth surged toward here, rushing violently into his body, as if a supreme expert was pouring immense Jin Gang into him.

Terrifying pressure spread through his four limbs and hundred bones; every inch of flesh and blood; his entire body's bones and tendons emitted explosive sounds, glowing with light, his whole body shining.

Under the vast oppressive weight, the Huang Jin Jin Gang seemed to undergo tempering, its purity changing rapidly.

"Boom boom boom..."

A deafening roar rang within Xu Yang's mind and spirit; he felt like an unyielding stone amidst towering waves, sensing an earth-shattering impact, yet he steadily withstood the terrifying force of the impact, his mind and spirit unmoved.

With his mind and spirit realm, the perfected Yu Xin Dao Jing had condensed will; if even his mind and spirit could not withstand the impact, he did not believe anyone else could break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Xu Yang's heart was like a rock, immovable and unaffected by the vast oppressive weight; he furiously circulated the Li Huo Gong, absorbing the power of heaven and earth flooding the body.

Terrifying power of heaven and earth poured backward from the Baihui point atop his head, rushing into his body, blasting open every pore, making his whole body like a sieve.

In an instant, the power of heaven and earth no longer poured backward only from the Baihui, but seeped through every pore of his body, carrying vast pressure to batter his flesh, blood, and Vajra.

The ocean-like Jin Gang seemed about to be scattered, but under the Li Huo Gong and the restraint of his mind and spirit, the Huang Jin Jin Gang was tightly confined within his body.

"Boom..."

A sound like the opening of heaven and earth came within his mind and spirit; Xu Yang's body and soul trembled.

The next moment, a thread of condensed, domineering, new power bearing the breath of heaven and earth was born within his body.

He had condensed Jin Gang Yuan!

This thread of Jin Gang Yuan was like a spark, igniting his already boiling Jin Gang; all the Jin Gang became agitated, no longer passively resisting the impact of the power of heaven and earth, but began to actively collide and blend with the power of heaven and earth, forming more Jin Gang Yuan.

At the same time, his flesh and blood also began to undergo drastic change, starting to absorb the born Jin Gang Yuan; like encountering the best nutrients, his flesh and blood began to transform and improve.

"Energy is indeed insufficient!"

Xu Yang felt as if he had opened his mouth to eat, only to bite on air; every inch of his flesh and blood conveyed a craving for Jin Gang Yuan, but the speed at which Jin Gang Yuan was born could not keep up with the speed his body absorbed it.

While circulating the Li Huo Gong, he grabbed three eight treasures lotus seeds and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The three eight treasures lotus seeds entered his mouth and immediately transformed into surging essence and qi, sweeping through his four limbs and hundred bones, becoming the primal nutrients for flesh and blood transformation.

"So spiritual medicines also contain the power of heaven and earth!"

Spiritual medicines and spiritual iron are transcendent and precious precisely because these things possess a spiritual nature that ordinary objects do not have.

And the so-called spiritual nature is actually spiritual energy, a part of the power of heaven and earth.

Xu Yang's whole body emitted brilliant light; his blood surged like rivers and mountains; his body emitted an aroma like that of spiritual medicines.

The Li Huo Gong circulated furiously, absorbing the spiritual energy existing between heaven and earth, refining it bit by bit.

Soon, the three eight treasures lotus seeds had been completely refined, yet his Jin Gang had not yet fully transformed into Jin Gang Yuan.

Without much hesitation, he swallowed the remaining two eight treasures lotus seeds.

Xu Yang's whole body surged with essence and qi; his bones, tendons, flesh, and blood were constantly roaring and transforming; dense life force spread through his four limbs and hundred bones.

When the last thread of Jin Gang also turned into Jin Gang Yuan, he felt a sense of clarity like breaking through the soil, feeling the sky high and the earth vast, with all shackles on his body removed.

"Success!"

Except for wasting the eight treasures lotus seeds, a type of spiritual medicine, he broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm very easily, with basically no danger or twists.

Xu Yang's pores opened wide; the air above his Baihui twisted, shrouded in mist; brilliant light emitted from his body, like a living deity.

He and the power of heaven and earth seemed to have no barrier left, becoming a single whole.

As Jin Gang Yuan circulated within his body, the surrounding power of heaven and earth surged toward him.

"The spiritual energy has thinned..." Xu Yang frowned slightly.

The power of heaven and earth still poured into his body, but the spiritual energy it contained was far less than before.

He had felt nothing of this before, but now he could sense the thinness of the spiritual energy in the air.

Xu Yang had not yet emerged from seclusion; although he had successfully broken through, his physical body was still undergoing transformation.

Under the cleansing and nourishing of Jin Gang, large amounts of bone dust were squeezed out, and within the flesh and blood, impure blood and impurities were refined away.

Outside the room, day and night alternated; in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Having gone three consecutive days without eating or sleeping, Xu Yang felt not the least bit tired; instead, he felt vigorous, better than ever before.

"This is feasting on the sunset clouds and drinking the morning dew!"

Xu Yang opened his eyes from his meditation; lightning sparked in the void, and two beams of sharp light shot from his eyes, briefly illuminating the pitch-black quiet chamber.

The Heavenly Origin Realm is a realm of transcending the mundane; not only do strength and lifespan increase greatly, but martial artists also possess unpredictable powers, such as commanding the power of heaven and earth to fly through the air or wielding the power of heaven and earth to slay enemies.

At this realm, a martial artist's strength is not limited to their own body but also depends on how much of the power of heaven and earth they can command.

【Li Huo Gong First Layer (63/10000)】

【Breakthrough to Heavenly Origin Realm, Points +200】

【Martial Dao Immortality Points: 1356】

【Remaining Lifespan: 200】

The remaining lifespan had suddenly reached two hundred years; no wonder he felt full of vitality throughout his body, as if reborn.

Xu Yang gazed inward and felt a surge of dense life force rush toward him; his whole body brimmed with vitality, and his five viscera and six bowels were as pure and flawless as glass.

The original Golden Jin Gang had completely vanished, entirely transformed into Jin Gang Yuan carrying threads of profound mystery and spiritual nature.

The Jin Gang Yuan was very gentle, nourishing his body without ceasing for a single moment.

He knew that with a single thought, this gentle and calm Jin Gang Yuan could instantly transform into wild and terrifying power, even capable of dragging the power of heaven and earth along to slay enemies.

A powerful sensation arose in his heart; he felt that with a casual strike, he could easily crush and kill his former self.

His bones took on a jade hue, fine and snow-white, shimmering with astonishing spiritual nature like spirit iron.

He spread his five fingers, and a condensed, tangible Jin Gang Yuan appeared; the surrounding power of heaven and earth, like a drop of water poured into hot oil, surged with violent fluctuations.

The greatest change was in his mind and spirit!

Xu Yang closed his eyes, and his mind and spirit spread out like a great net; he saw disciples of the Li Huo Peak walking past the gate of his courtyard, saw Sun Tao cultivating in the quiet chamber opposite, and brought the entire residential area of these inner sect disciples fully "into view."

"It's different!" Xu Yang felt some excitement in his heart.

Before, when his mind and spirit spread out, though he had felt a sense of unity between heaven and man, it was merely a vague perception.

Now, he clearly felt the majestic momentum radiating from the Li Huo Peak; many indescribable realizations were captured by his mind and spirit, and the grand trend of heaven and earth seemed to be entirely before his eyes.

He activated the Lian Xi Shu to suppress the aura on his body, and Xu Yang pushed open the door and walked out.
