Chapter 937 - 935: Tunnel Six-Star
"With my current strength, I should technically reach Tunnel Five-Star, but ultimately, it depends on your fortune. If you can’t absorb my Powerful Qi, you might not even reach Tunnel Three-Star," Yue Xiaoyao explained.
Chen Tianlong nodded. Yue Xiaoyao seemed to be above the Celestial Dao realm, but exactly what level was unclear to Chen Tianlong. After all, this guy seemed capable of hiding his strength, so Chen Tianlong could only see his true power in the end.
After the conversation, both of them entered the Seven-Colored Pool. Honestly, Chen Tianlong felt a bit weird about it. If he were soaking in a pool with a beautiful woman, he would gladly enjoy it. But soaking with an old man, especially after taking off their clothes, just thinking about it made him a bit nauseated.
For the sake of upgrading, Chen Tianlong didn’t dwell on it and closed his eyes.
This time, Yue Xiaoyao planned to transfer all of his Powerful Qi to Chen Tianlong. As for himself, he could slowly cultivate here. In any case, who knows how many years it will take for this seal to be broken? His strength was useless here anyway.
Yue Xiaoyao didn’t know how to break this seal, but he did know that the seal had an impressive name, the Five Elements Array.
"Chen Tianlong, when I input Powerful Qi into you later, just focus on running your Heart Method. You might experience some pain or unexpected situations along the way. Just accept it without forcefully stopping. Otherwise, you’ll take the old man’s life," Yue Xiaoyao warned, concerned that once this guy sensed something was wrong, he’d resist, which would be disastrous.
"Ah? This... is it really that dangerous?" Chen Tianlong detected something fishy, and it seemed really dangerous, "What if something happens? Is there a chance to salvage it?"
Chen Tianlong was still worried. He needed to know emergency methods. Otherwise, if something went wrong, wouldn’t he be doomed?
"None. That’s why I advise you to be careful. This method can only be used by those at the Primordial Spirit Level like me. For others, it’s called Crown Injection, and they would be finished after it. As for me, I just lose my Powerful Qi, which can be slowly regained through cultivation," Yue Xiaoyao explained. "Alright, let’s start. Tomorrow, they will come with troops, and I need to make sure you can at least protect yourself."
"Oh."
Chen Tianlong said no more and closed his eyes, beginning to run the third layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
The third layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique was the highest level Chen Feng had cultivated at the time. The fourth layer had not been discovered yet. As for the Formless Celestial Venerable who created this Heart Method, even he didn’t know the intricacies of the fourth layer. He only linked the general theory to imaginary moves once.
The Formless Celestial Venerable also practiced it, but due to his own physical limitations, he couldn’t successfully cultivate it. He initially thought that his first disciple, Chen Feng, with his extraordinary talent, would go further, but unexpectedly, even at thirty-something, he still hadn’t made a breakthrough.
In a fit of anger, the Formless Celestial Venerable destroyed the fourth layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique...
If Chen Tianlong knew about this, he would surely vomit blood and die from anger. The Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique he had been painstakingly cultivating had its highest layer destroyed. Then what’s the point of learning it!
Is the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique really just like that?
Chen Tianlong disagreed.
He focused on the high-speed operation of the third layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, without thinking about the fourth layer at all. After all, now he was just a Tunnel One-Star entity, facing much bigger challenges, with no time to delve into the matters of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
About ten minutes later, Chen Tianlong’s body began to be filled with powerful Qi. Although the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the Primordial Dragon Realm was dense, it was nothing compared to the forcefully injected power from a Celestial Dao expert.
Feeling his body change, Chen Tianlong felt somewhat painful. At this moment, he seemed like a balloon being slowly filled from scant air, then continuously feeling the expansion.
Yue Xiaoyao, beside him, was already sweating profusely. Even he, a Celestial Dao Six-Star expert, didn’t anticipate Chen Tianlong absorbing the Powerful Qi so fast. If not for his ample Powerful Qi, he couldn’t have satisfied this guy’s absorption.
Twenty minutes later, with a soft "boom," a shockwave spread out in the water, clearly indicating a breakthrough.
Chen Tianlong was astonished. Although his body was feeling uncomfortable, the "balloon" that just deflated soon began inflating again. It was a never-ending cycle, continually feeling pumped up, which was terribly uncomfortable.
His lips were already bitten several times. Had Yue Xiaoyao not warned him beforehand, he might have actually wanted to shake off Yue Xiaoyao’s hands and run out of the pool.
Surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was rapidly rushing into Chen Tianlong’s body. His Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique had almost reached peak status, and the water where the two of them were immersed began making boiling sounds under the pressure of the Powerful Qi.
"Boom!"
Another sound; although Chen Tianlong was in pain, he was also enjoying it. Nothing felt as subtly satisfying as a breakthrough. Except maybe, when he was fooling around with his girlfriend Wu Mengting, only such feelings could compare.
In merely an hour, Chen Tianlong’s body experienced explosive breakthroughs four times, meaning he broke through four levels.
Yue Xiaoyao was incredibly astonished. Although his Powerful Qi was almost depleted, seeing only 20% remaining, he felt this small amount surely couldn’t suffice for another breakthrough attempt. He planned to call it quits and save some energy for a walk in the park.
However, just when Yue Xiaoyao thought breaking through four levels was already heaven-defying, Chen Tianlong’s body responded again.
Damn!
This... another breakthrough? This guy can actually break through to Tunnel Six-Star? That’s anti-human!
"Rumble!"
Just complained, and a massive shockwave occurred in the pool, with Chen Tianlong’s final breakthrough causing the pool water to surge a meter high. Yet, his body had reached its limit; another breakthrough might lead to his body exploding and perishing.
"Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong finally stabilized his Powerful Qi. His strength had astonishingly ascended from Tunnel One-Star to Tunnel Six-Star.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong felt an urge to shout, "Who said my breakthrough is slow? Come over, I promise not to beat you to death!"
"Congratulations, Tunnel Six-Star, it’s truly a miracle!"
Yue Xiaoyao was indescribably excited. As expected of the son of the senior brother, being able to absorb his Powerful Qi and breakthrough five levels was rare. Under ordinary circumstances, a Celestial Dao Six-Star could at most help a Tunnel One-Star reach Tunnel Five-Star, already the limit.
Yet this Chen Tianlong actually broke through to such an extent, truly heaven-defying.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect I’d break through five levels consecutively. Hey, Old Yue, when you recover your Powerful Qi, can you help me boost another five levels?" Chen Tianlong grinned, imagining if that were the case, wouldn’t he become a Celestial Dao expert?
He couldn’t help but get excited at the thought.
Yue Xiaoyao was utterly embarrassed. This guy had quite the appetite, a bit too greedy.
"Keep dreaming. Your recent breakthrough is already the limit. My current strength was initially capable of elevating someone up to Tunnel Five-Star, you’re an exception. Meaning, whether or not I have Powerful Qi, I cannot upgrade you any further, not even one level," Yue Xiaoyao candidly stated.
