The Eve of Breaking Through to the Blood Strengthening Realm

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

As Yang Heng had expected, the Marrow Cleansing Pearl had already accumulated full energy.

Yang Heng closed his eyes and began to meditate.

He was surprised to find that this time, after the Marrow Cleansing Pearl was full of energy, its appearance had changed somewhat, completely different from the last time.

The last time the Marrow Cleansing Pearl was full of energy, it was like a white jade divine pearl, with milky white marrow flowing inside.

But this time, before Yang Heng's eyes, the Marrow Cleansing Pearl was like a sapphire, surrounded by blue airflow, constantly spinning.

Inside it was a pool of blue liquid, as clear and translucent as a sapphire, emitting a dazzling light.

Seeing this scene, Yang Heng frowned deeply, confused.

Had the Marrow Cleansing Pearl evolved?

Or had it been injured before and was now slowly recovering?

After thinking for a moment, he still had no clue, so Yang Heng stopped thinking about it. He would figure it out someday anyway.

As long as the Marrow Cleansing Pearl was harmless to him.

Although the Marrow Cleansing Pearl had accumulated full energy, Yang Heng did not act rashly. He still proceeded according to his original plan.

He would wait until his foundation was thoroughly polished and solidified, and when he broke through to the Blood Strengthening Realm, he would release this blue liquid to help himself break through the gate of the Blood Strengthening Realm in one go.

Since he had made a plan and there were no major changes, Yang Heng would not easily alter it.

After the Marrow Cleansing Pearl accumulated full energy, it could not absorb more energy without emptying it first.

This meant that all the energy contained in the food he consumed was absorbed by him alone.

At the standard of thirty catties of beef jerky per day, if the Marrow Cleansing Pearl did not share half of it, Yang Heng would not be able to absorb the vast energy contained within it by himself.

But even so, Yang Heng had no intention of reducing his food intake.

The energy that his body could not absorb would be used by the Marrow Cleansing Pearl to temper his internal organs and all parts of his body, widen his meridians, and tap into his body's potential.

Therefore, Yang Heng was not worried about excess energy at all. More was better.

If his body could withstand it without limit, Yang Heng would have wanted to continue like this forever.

But at a certain stage, if one's realm did not break through, everyone's body had a limit. It could not be infinitely raised. It was just that everyone's capacity and upper limit were different.

But there was always a bottleneck.

Breaking through this bottleneck would lead to another world, the next realm.

This bottleneck was different from the bottleneck of the Blood Strengthening Realm.

To 'see' this bottleneck, all aspects of the body must reach the limit of the current stage. Strength, speed, Blood Essence, etc., could not be improved by even a tiny bit. They had reached the peak.

But it was extremely difficult to sense one's own bottleneck!

Among thousands of martial artists, it was rare to find such a monstrous talent.

Yes, a monstrous talent!

The word "genius" was no longer enough to describe their extraordinary prowess.

Only the word "monstrous talent" could be used to describe them.

It was extremely, extremely difficult for all aspects of the body to reach the limit of the current stage.

There were no scanners in this world that could accurately detect the numerical values of each part to see if it met the standard or reached the limit.

Ordinary martial artists could not accurately perceive the detailed condition of their own parts and organs.

Only those from noble families and core disciples of major sects could achieve this.

Although there were no scanners in this world, there was Spiritual Sense!

Spiritual Sense, when used with meticulous attention, could probe the human body, and its detection effect was even clearer and more accurate than a scanner.

The disciples of large families and core disciples of sects had noble status and enjoyed extremely favorable cultivation conditions. When they were in the Blood Brave Realm, there would be powerful individuals who had cultivated Spiritual Sense to probe for them and guide them on how to cultivate next, which part to improve, and so on.

Some people were born in Rome, but the vast majority, after a lifetime of effort, could not even embark on the road to Rome.

Fortunately, Yang Heng possessed the Marrow Cleansing Pearl, a supreme treasure that could use excess energy to temper various parts of his body.

One day, when the energy absorbed into his body no longer brought about significant changes, it would mean that his body could no longer improve and had reached its limit.

At this time, it would be the best opportunity to break through to the Blood Strengthening Realm.

After sensing the bottleneck of his body, and then breaking through, without external interference, he would have a 100% chance of breaking through the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Moreover, this would be the most perfect breakthrough, laying the foundation for reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

Time ticked by, second by second.

In the following days, Yang Heng devoted all his time to martial arts cultivation.

The Vajra Fist and Levitation Technique had improved greatly, but they were still a long way from reaching the Major Accomplishment realm.

It was extremely difficult to cultivate a martial art to the Major Accomplishment realm. It not only depended on the cultivator's talent but also required a long period of arduous practice. Both were indispensable.

Generally speaking, for a martial artist with superior talent, it would take at least five years to cultivate an Intermediate Martial Art from scratch to Major Accomplishment.

If one's innate talent is poor, it could take ten, twenty, or even a lifetime to achieve Major Accomplishment in Martial Arts, with no hope in sight.

Yang Heng has been cultivating for less than three months, yet two martial arts have already reached Minor Accomplishment. He considers himself incredibly fortunate, benefiting from two instances of Enlightenment.

Otherwise, his martial arts progress wouldn't have been this rapid.

He paid no attention to the outside world, dedicating all his focus to cultivation.

His cultivation level also improved at an astonishing pace, changing almost daily.

Currently, the Blood Essence within Yang Heng's body is as thick as a pinky finger and five inches long. It hovers above his Dantian, emitting a dazzling red light, not far from the minimum requirement to break through to the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed since the group from the apothecary shop went out to gather herbs and returned to Qingyang Town. Yang Heng's Blood Essence accumulation has already met the requirements for breaking through to the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Yang Heng closed his eyes and began to meditate.

With his Spiritual Sense, he could clearly see a small, red finger-like projection suspended above his Dantian.

The surroundings were pitch black, but it shone like a burning candle, emitting a dazzling red light that pierced the boundless darkness. It was exceptionally striking and brilliant, like a crystal-clear, cylindrical red agate, captivating the mind and drawing one in, making it impossible to break free.

Yang Heng glanced at it briefly before withdrawing his Spiritual Sense, no longer observing it.

At this very moment, he vaguely sensed the opportunity to break through to the Blood Strengthening Realm. It felt as if he could break through with a single push, the barrier as thin as paper. Yet, he forcefully resisted the temptation and did not attempt to break through.

Time slipped away, and unconsciously, another three days passed.

On this day, Yang Heng arrived at the training grounds outside the wilderness.

He stood in the center of the open space, his eyes tightly shut, carefully sensing his body.

A gentle breeze brushed against Yang Heng's cheeks, his black hair fluttering in the wind. His loose white robes billowed slightly. Yang Heng stood there like a great mountain, exuding a powerful aura. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and pebbles on the ground trembled incessantly.

Gradually, Yang Heng's expression changed, no longer one of serene indifference.

The corners of his mouth began to curve upwards, a smile appearing on his face. His eyes suddenly snapped open, brimming with excitement and eagerness.

Suddenly, Yang Heng burst into laughter, his eyes gleaming with divine light. His laughter grew louder and louder, shaking the mountains and wilderness, startling countless birds into flight, soaring away into the distance.

He was so happy because, after three days of nourishment, all aspects of his body had reached their peak, most perfect state.

He had just truly felt the bottleneck in his body!

Now, he could finally charge towards the Blood Strengthening Realm!

Thinking back to the past twenty-odd days of cultivation since returning to Qingyang Town from the camp, Yang Heng couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

During this period, his Martial Arts Cultivation had reached a state of neglecting food and sleep. He was completely focused and exceptionally concentrated, working much harder and enduring much more than those final hundred days of cramming for the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, today was the season for reaping the rewards.

Yang Heng's gaze sharpened, his expression solemn. Without hesitation, he launched his charge towards the Blood Strengthening Realm!
