Chapter 25: Ch 25- Breakthrough
Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and Mo Yuan safely returned to Dong Hai Base.
The very next day, he headed to the black market and purchased a large amount of Intermediate Beast Blood, spending almost all of the nine million yuan he had obtained.
If he had used that money to repay his loan, he could have cleared it immediately.
However, Mo Yuan chose cultivation over debt. Money could always be earned again, but opportunities to increase his strength were far more valuable.
Although he still had ten portions of Advanced Beast Blood, relying on them alone for cultivation wouldn’t even last three months. The best method was to use Intermediate Beast Blood as his daily cultivation resource while occasionally using Advanced Beast Blood to greatly speed up his progress.
That way, every drop of blood could be used to its fullest.
...
Inside the small courtyard of the villa.
Mo Yuan stood quietly in the centre before beginning to cultivate the Intermediate Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method.
Like the Low-Level version, it only contained nine movements.
However, each movement was much deeper and far more complicated. Even a slight mistake would interrupt the circulation of Primordial Qi.
Fortunately, with his Peak Grade Cultivation Talent, understanding the technique wasn’t difficult.
As he performed each movement, streams of Primordial Qi flowed from the surrounding world toward him.
Compared to before, the amount of Primordial Qi entering his body had increased dramatically. It continuously entered through every pore before being refined and stored inside his dantian.
"It’s actually three times more effective than the Low-Level Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method!"
Mo Yuan couldn’t help but feel shocked.
This improvement came from the cultivation technique alone.
If he also used Beast Blood to assist his cultivation, the results would become even more terrifying.
"Let’s test the effect of the Advanced Beast Blood first."
Without hesitation, Mo Yuan opened one of the bottles and drank a mouthful.
Boom!!
The moment the blood entered his body, an overwhelming amount of energy erupted.
It rushed through his meridians like a raging flood.
His muscles swelled, his veins bulged, and an intense pain spread throughout his body.
It felt as though his entire body was about to split apart.
"fcuk"
"I underestimated the energy inside Advanced Beast Blood!"
Mo Yuan’s expression changed.
If he allowed this energy to continue rampaging, his internal organs could suffer serious injuries. Without wasting another second, he immediately began practicing the Intermediate Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method.
Again and again.
The nine movements repeated continuously.
Large amounts of Primordial Qi merged with the violent blood energy, slowly refining and absorbing it into his body.
Only after several hours did the violent energy finally settle down.
Mo Yuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Fortunately, I obtained the Intermediate Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method."
"If I were still using the Low-Level version, I probably wouldn’t have been able to absorb this energy at all."
He estimated the results.
At his current level, Advanced Beast Blood increased his cultivation speed by about six times.
The Intermediate Primordial Qi Body Tempering Method itself increased cultivation speed by another three times.
Together, that was an eighteen-fold increase.
And that wasn’t even counting his Peak Grade Cultivation Talent.
Compared to a cultivator with Superior Grade Cultivation Talent, his cultivation speed was at least three times faster.
"In other words..."
"My cultivation speed is roughly fifty-four times faster than an ordinary Superior Grade Cultivation Talent genius in Dong Hai Base."
Even Mo Yuan was amazed by the result.
Of course, a genius with Superior Grade Cultivation Talent could also use Intermediate Beast Blood during cultivation, increasing their speed by another two or three times.
Even after taking that into account, Mo Yuan was still cultivating at over twenty times their speed.
One month of his cultivation was almost equal to nearly two years of cultivation for an ordinary Superior Grade genius.
"What a pity..."
"There are only ten portions of Advanced Beast Blood."
Mo Yuan couldn’t help feeling a little greedy.
If he had an endless supply of Advanced Beast Blood, his cultivation speed would become even more frightening.
...
With enough cultivation resources and no one disturbing him, Mo Yuan completely immersed himself in cultivation.
The days quietly passed.
One month...
Two months...
Three months...
During this period, he rarely left the villa except to purchase cultivation resources.
Almost every day was spent cultivating, refining blood, and tempering his body.
Finally, after three months of nonstop cultivation...
A powerful aura erupted from Mo Yuan’s body.
Boom!
The Primordial Qi around him trembled violently before calming down.
Mo Yuan slowly stood up, excitement filling his face.
"I’ve finally reached the Origin Core Realm!"
During these three months, his skin, muscles, and bones had all been tempered to an astonishing level.
His physical strength had finally broken through the limit of 10,000 jin.
Although he had reached the Origin Core Realm, he had not truly entered the Early Stage yet.
The next step was blood tempering.
The Origin Core Realm focused on refining and strengthening one’s blood.
Only after the blood became powerful enough could it continuously nourish the body and support further evolution.
Cultivation itself was a path of evolution.
Blood tempering was also extremely dangerous.
It required repeatedly removing impurities from the blood while continuously refining what remained. The process consumed an enormous amount of blood.
If a cultivator couldn’t replenish enough blood during cultivation, they could literally exhaust every drop inside their body and die.
The best way to solve this problem was simple.
Use Beast Blood.
Nourish blood with blood.
That was why Origin Core Realm cultivators consumed terrifying amounts of Beast Blood every single day.
Although Advanced Beast Blood produced the best results, Mo Yuan had already used every last bottle during the previous three months.
Even if he had more, it still wouldn’t have been enough.
This was also one of the main reasons why Beast Blood remained scarce throughout Dong Hai Base.
There weren’t many cultivators in the base, yet Beast Blood was always in short supply because over ninety percent of it was consumed by Origin Core Realm cultivators.
Their daily consumption alone was enough to shock ordinary cultivators.
Fortunately, Mo Yuan still had a large reserve of Intermediate Beast Blood, allowing him to continue cultivating without stopping.
...
These three months weren’t spent on cultivation alone.
Every time his Copy Talent became available again, Mo Yuan secretly copied another Superior Grade Cultivation Talent before quietly fusing it with his own.
Although none of these fusions pushed his talent beyond Peak Grade, he could clearly feel that his cultivation talent had become much stronger than before.
It had reached the absolute limit of Peak Grade.
Perhaps...
If he fused just one more Peak Grade Cultivation Talent, his talent would finally evolve into the legendary Ultimate Grade Cultivation Talent.
Three days later, after completing his first round of blood tempering, Mo Yuan officially stepped into the Early Stage of the Origin Core Realm.
His physical strength had increased once again.
13,000 jin!
Feeling the overwhelming power flowing through his body, Mo Yuan smiled.
"It’s time."
Without any hesitation, he packed everything he needed. His destination was once again Ruined Sanctuary.
