Zhao Ming sat cross-legged where the icy and fiery springs met, the place where spiritual energy was most concentrated within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
He formed a seal with his hands, his palms, soles, and crown facing the sky. Nine-Breath Qi Absorption circulated through his body on its own. The five elemental energies within his organs formed a perfect cycle, drawing in great swaths of spiritual energy with every rotation and converting it into pure Soul Power.
After Zhao Ming's Steel Whip had evolved into the Silver Whip, his Martial Soul had gained the attribute of Ultimate Strength.
Ultimate Strength was formidable, but it slowed his cultivation far below that of an ordinary Soul Master. It was a restriction imposed by the laws of the world: the greater the power, the harder it was to improve.
Now, however, Nine-Breath Qi Absorption had reached the proficient stage, and that restriction had been completely broken.
His five organs were perfected, and the five elements sustained one another. His body had become a miniature furnace of heaven and earth. His cultivation efficiency was more than ten times that of an ordinary Soul Master's meditation method.
At a thought, Zhao Ming accelerated the five-element vortex. The surrounding spiritual energy surged toward him as if summoned, forming a visible vortex above his head.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ming's Soul Power broke through to level fifty-five. He opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
With his five organs perfected and the five-element cycle established, his cultivation speed had reached a terrifying level.
At this rate, he would reach level sixty and become a Soul Emperor in six months at most.
"Time to head back." Zhao Ming stood and stretched. His joints crackled all over.
