Forcefully Breaking Through the Mystic Pass

Time passed day by day, and the extent of Li Yuan's physical improvement grew smaller and smaller, until it completely stopped.

He had finally reached his limit.

After testing himself, Li Yuan's current strength had actually reached fifty-five hundred jin!

This was a strength that other Inner Force Realm cultivators could hardly imagine!

Even the vast majority of True Qi Realm martial artists did not possess this kind of strength; only top-tier experts in the True Essence Realm could be compared to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stood in the courtyard, concentrating his mind and spirit, sensing every inch of flesh and bone within his body, sensing the circulation of every wisp of Internal Energy within him.

The Qi Sea Acupoint, located one and a half inches below the navel on the midline of the abdomen, Li Yuan used the acupoint-testing method to determine its precise location, and his attention was entirely focused on where the Qi Sea Acupoint was.

"Hoo..."

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant divine light flashing within them.

It begins.

Under Li Yuan's control, a large amount of Internal Energy surged towards the location of the Qi Sea Acupoint!

Forcefully Breaking Through the Mystic Pass was no easy feat. If the Internal Energy within the body was too weak, it would collapse at the slightest touch, making it impossible to use Internal Energy to open up the Qi Sea Acupoint within the body.

If the acupoint-testing method was inaccurate and the location was off, then under the bombardment of a large amount of Internal Energy, not only would it be impossible to open up the Qi Sea, but it would also injure the body.

Opening up the Qi Sea involved many intricate details, all of which Li Yuan had thoroughly understood beforehand and was confident about.

Others only had one type of Internal Energy, but Li Yuan had four types, and each type of Internal Energy was incredibly powerful, so opening up the Qi Sea Acupoint was not too difficult for him.

The four types of Internal Energy, each with different attributes, intertwined without any conflict. Under Li Yuan's control, they gathered at the location of the Qi Sea, with Internal Energy continuously accumulating and compressing there!

As time ticked by, more and more Internal Energy converged at the Qi Sea, accumulating immense pressure, as if it would explode at any moment.

"Crack..."

Suddenly, a faint sound echoed from within Li Yuan's body, as if something had shattered.

A tiny crack appeared in the center of this condensed Internal Energy!

As soon as the crack appeared, it grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a massive, swirling vortex!

This vortex-like entity that suddenly appeared within Li Yuan's body was the so-called Qi Sea Acupoint!

The first martial acupoint!

With the opening of the Qi Sea, the vortex was born, empty and devoid of anything.

At this moment, a peculiar change occurred.

The four types of Internal Energy within Li Yuan's body continuously poured into the Qi Sea and disappeared, and then wisps of pure white Martial Arts True Qi began to emerge continuously from the Qi Sea Acupoint!

Soon, all the Internal Energy within Li Yuan's body was completely devoured by the Qi Sea Acupoint, and a large amount of pure white Martial Arts True Qi erupted from it like a tsunami!

Formless power transformed into tangible energy!

Li Yuan raised his palm, and visible white mist-like Martial Arts True Qi coiled around his palm.

Internal Energy was formless and intangible, but True Qi was different.

Every wisp of True Qi was clearly visible!

At this time, Li Yuan's system interface also underwent significant changes.

[Realm: Early True Qi Realm]

Thus... Li Yuan had completely stepped into the True Qi Realm!

Although all the Internal Energy within Li Yuan's body had disappeared, it was replaced by incredibly powerful Martial Arts True Qi. For the same unit of power, Martial Arts True Qi could unleash ten times the power of Internal Energy!

Not only was the quality of Li Yuan's True Qi higher than Internal Energy, but the quantity of his True Qi was also far greater than that of other martial artists in the early True Qi Realm!

The Martial Arts True Qi, converted from the four types of Internal Energy, was continuously gushing out from the Qi Sea Acupoint!

Generally speaking, the process of converting Internal Energy into True Qi was very fast; other martial artists could finish it in just half the time it took for a cup of tea to steep, but Li Yuan's conversion process actually lasted for the time it took an incense stick to burn!

More and more Martial Arts True Qi gathered in the Qi Sea, swirling and churning, forming a terrifying vortex like the eye of a storm!

Within the vortex, thunderous rumblings could be faintly heard!

Such terrifying phenomena were simply unimaginable for ordinary True Qi Realm martial artists!

When other martial artists first entered the True Qi Realm, the True Qi in their Qi Sea Acupoints was like mountain mist, drifting and ethereal, appearing calm and peaceful. How could they possibly create such terrifying phenomena?

Even those martial artists who had reached the peak of True Qi Realm, only half a step away from the True Essence Realm, could not create such a phenomenon in their Qi Sea!

Only Li Yuan, by using four types of incredibly powerful Internal Energy to open up his Qi Sea, could condense such terrifying Martial Arts True Qi.

Li Yuan carefully sensed his Martial Arts True Qi, and several familiar auras emanated from it.

Although his four types of Internal Energy had disappeared, the power of these four types of Internal Energy had been inherited by the True Qi, and his True Qi actually possessed four attributes simultaneously!

Vibration!

Toxicity!

Ice!

Tenacity!

Li Yuan could unleash all four of these powers simultaneously with a casual strike!

He could also switch between them at will, revealing only one at a time.

Or keep them completely hidden, suppressing their power.

This was his unique advantage; the four types of True Qi gave him terrifying combat power!

Although his Internal Energy had vanished, he could still use True Qi with the same attributes to perform techniques, and the power was even greater!

After opening his Qi Sea Acupoint, Li Yuan slowly sat down, sensing this brand-new power.

Martial Arts True Qi flowed through his body. Nourished and strengthened by the True Qi, Li Yuan's strength surged again, increasing by a thousand jin!

As Li Yuan meditated with his eyes closed, a familiar figure appeared at the courtyard entrance.

"Senior Brother, sorry to disturb you."

Dong Yuezhen had come to seek guidance from Li Yuan again today. When she saw him, she froze on the spot.

Tendrils of Martial Arts True Qi coiled around Li Yuan's body, like smoke and mist.

The aura he exuded was completely different from before. Even the unintentional pressure he released made one feel suffocated.

"Senior Brother, you?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly, "Got lucky. I've broken through to the True Qi Realm."

The True Qi Realm?!

Dong Yuezhen felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. She knew Li Yuan's Internal Energy was already perfected and he was close to the True Qi Realm, but she hadn't expected him to break through so quickly.

Breaking through to the True Qi Realm wasn't easy. If one couldn't properly control the Internal Energy within their body, they could very well fail and get injured when Forcefully Breaking Through the Mystic Pass!

She had seen several martial artists fail their breakthroughs before.

Yet, after just one day, Li Yuan had completed his breakthrough and entered the True Qi Realm!

That was the same level as the Hall Master Qi Zhengyang!

At this point, it wasn't impossible for him to be promoted to Vice Hall Master by Qi Zhengyang, let alone be the senior disciple.

Dong Yuezhen's heart was in turmoil, and various thoughts flashed through her mind. After spending time together recently, the martial arts talent Li Yuan displayed had deeply shaken her.

Ever since she started practicing martial arts, her ambition had been exceptionally high. Li Yuan's sudden emergence had profoundly impacted her. Unknowingly, Li Yuan had become her goal to chase, but even with her desire to catch up, she could only feel a sense of powerlessness.

And now, Li Yuan had finally taken that step, becoming a martial artist on a level she couldn't comprehend.

Dong Yuezhen suppressed the thoughts in her mind, stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on entering the True Qi Realm."

Li Yuan slowly got up, stretched his muscles, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's been a while since I left the martial arts hall. I should go see the Hall Master."
