Chapter 274: Chapter 241 Breakthrough
The Polar Cave Mansion, brimming with boundless earth energy!
As per the "Eight Extremes Map," cultivating within this cave mansion is most suitable for challenging the boundaries of the True Qi Realm.
Looking towards the cave mansion, one could see that it was vast, with a space that stretched for thousands of Zhang in all directions.
At the very center of this space, there was a round platform several dozen Zhang across, and beneath this platform, the land was covered with lush green plants.
Looking closely at these green plants, one could even see that the arrangement of their planting held mysterious significance. All the plants actually formed a massive Gathering Yuan Grand Formation.
And this platform at the center of the cave mansion was right in the middle of the Formation Eye of the Gathering Yuan Grand Formation!
Upon entering the "Polar Cave Mansion," Ye Chen immediately sat cross-legged on the platform.
Next, with a light flick of Ye Chen's finger, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," numerous top-quality Spirit Stones flew out of his Heaven Spirit Ring.
These top-quality Spirit Stones surrounded Ye Chen's body, completely enveloping him within a Spirit Stone Array.
Afterward, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the platform and closed his eyes to regulate his breath and nurture his spirit.
This breathing and nurturing session lasted a full three days.
For these three days, from the outside, there seemed to be no changes in Ye Chen. However, inside his body, the mysteriously divine Primordial True Liquid within his Qi Sea had churned no less than ten thousand times!
The Spirit Sea Realm is divided into three major phases: early stage, middle stage, and late stage.
Advancing from the True Qi Realm to the Spirit Sea Realm places one directly in the early stage of the Spirit Sea.
And progressing from the early stage of the Spirit Sea to the middle and late stages requires the Qi Sea, or rather the Spirit Sea, to undergo two transformations.
Only by cultivating each stage to its utmost limit, bringing the Spirit Sea to the brink of a breakthrough and producing a trembling sensation, one can enter the offensive against the Realm and allow the Spirit Sea to open up once more!
Ye Chen's Qi Sea, due to cultivating the Primordial Star Scripture, was already much larger than that of others, and the power of the Primordial True Liquid within his body had already far surpassed that of strong practitioners in the Spirit Sea Realm, reaching the level of the Rotating Pill Realm!
However, after days of cultivation, Ye Chen had already filled his Qi Sea with the Primordial True Liquid to an extremely saturated state, even bringing the Spirit Sea to a wondrous trembling condition, reaching the true peak of the early stage of the Spirit Sea.
Now was the time for him to challenge the Realm and step into the next phase!
To burst into the middle stage of the Spirit Sea, now was the moment!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Ye Chen, who was seated on the platform of the "Polar Cave Mansion," quietly meditated with closed eyes for a full three days and his Primordial True Liquid roiled ten thousand times, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the dozen or so top-quality Spirit Stones placed on the platform took flight into the air, swirling incessantly around Ye Chen's body.
At the same time, the countless green plants on the ground all flickered with a strange light. Eventually, all the light converged, causing the entire platform of the "Polar Cave Mansion" to burst forth with a milky white, marvelous light!
Within the marvelous light, the dozen or so top-quality Spirit Stones, in an instant, released endless True Qi, pouring out like a massive river, inundating with boundless True Qi, which was then entirely swept over Ye Chen's entire body.
Ye Chen's whole person was now completely wrapped in the vast river of True Qi.
It was at this time when the Qi Meridians in Ye Chen's body, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the thirty-three Meridian Wheels all opened up like a whale gulping water and a snake inhaling air. All his meridians crazily absorbed the torrential True Qi from outside his body.
In the end, this myriad of True Qi all surged into Ye Chen's Qi Sea!

The vast ocean of True Qi below shone with the unique black light of the Primordial True Liquid, and as the torrential True Qi burst into Ye Chen's Qi Sea, it transformed into a black rain of Primordial True Liquid that peppered down on the massive ocean of True Qi.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
At first, this new influx of Primordial True Liquid Rain only made small, quiet splashes in the vast ocean of True Qi below.
But as more and more True Qi was absorbed into Ye Chen's body, the rain of Primordial True Liquid grew thicker and denser. Eventually, when the sky was full of falling Primordial True Liquid rain, the noise of the Qi Sea World transformed into a "boom! boom! boom!" everywhere.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The raging rain of Primordial True Liquid battered the entire Qi Sea World into violent quakes, battering the vast ocean of True Qi into howling.
Ultimately, the rain descending from the sky and the Primordial True Liquid in the ocean resonated at a unique and marvelous frequency.
A resonating frequency!
The rain in the sky vibrated, the True Liquid in the ocean vibrated, even the Qi Sea itself vibrated!
In the end, all the vibrations merged into a towering force, a force that seemed to cleave the heavens and split the earth!
This was the power to carve out an even vaster Qi Sea and step into a new level of the Realm, entering the middle stage of the Spirit Sea!
When this force swept through, in an instant, the whole Qi Sea World quaked as if the sky was crashing down and the earth was splitting apart. Amidst the shattering, the Qi Sea World began a new stretch, a new expansion.
The ocean was boundless and vast, yet there was still no end in sight!
At the end of the ocean, within Chaos Space, a new world of the ocean could be further opened up!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As three of the numerous top-quality Spirit Stones floating around Ye Chen shrank with explosions, the True Qi entering his body reached an inconceivable level.
The rain of Primordial True Liquid that filled the sky was even more abundant than the True Liquid in the ocean below!
This rain of True Liquid, as it plummeted into the ocean, carried the ocean's True Liquid along, frantically cleaving toward the edge of the True Qi ocean, wildly spreading.
This spread continued relentlessly for a full six days!
Not until the world of the Qi Sea inside Ye Chen had expanded more than three times its size since the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm did the earth-shattering scene finally come to a stop.
A new vast ocean had reformed.
Although True Qi still poured into the Qi Sea, it could no longer create new heavens and earth.
This meant that Ye Chen had completed his breakthrough and reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm!
The expansion of the Spirit Sea was thoroughly accomplished!
The next expansion would only be possible if he cultivated to the limit of the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea, causing the entire Spirit Sea to quake again and gain the power to break through to the latter stage of the Spirit Sea!
Looking into the newly formed vast ocean, one could see that the amount of Primordial True Liquid was more than three times the amount before!
The endless black Primordial True Liquid tumbled within the vast new ocean, emitting a luminous glow even more intense than before!
And Ye Chen felt that the power of his True Qi was growing stronger.
"Mid-stage of the Spirit Sea!"
"I've finally reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea!"
Ye Chen, seated in meditation, took a deep breath.
His inhalation was like a serpent, his exhalation like lightning; with a gentle exhale, Ye Chen even formed a series of divine and extraordinary Swords of True Qi directly in the void!
This was indeed a testament to his True Qi cultivation reaching a new realm, allowing him to wield it even more adeptly!
Feeling the strength of the True Qi within his body, Ye Chen was drawn to another matter.
That was the potential of the new True Qi Spiritual Fluid in mobilizing the new powers of the Five Great Divine Bloods.
Ye Chen's gaze went straight to the Five Great Divine Bloods floating above the Primordial True Liquid.
White Tiger Divine Blood! Azure Dragon Divine Blood! Black Tortoise Divine Blood! Vermilion Bird Divine Blood! Qilin Divine Blood!
Boom!
With a thought, Ye Chen's Primordial True Liquid turned completely crimson, transforming into Fire True Liquid.
Then, this even more vast Fire True Liquid swept towards the "Vermilion Bird" Divine Blood among the five floating above.
Previously, at the early stage of the Spirit Sea, Ye Chen could only light up one-tenth of the Vermilion Bird Divine Blood.
But this time, having entered the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea and with three times more True Liquid, the endless Fire True Liquid caused two-fifths of the "Vermilion Bird" Divine Blood to be completely lit up in a single strike!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Ye Chen, who was seated on the high platform of the Polar Cave Mansion, suddenly released a Vermilion Bird Physique shadow that was magnificently divine and unparalleled.
This Vermilion Bird Physique shadow was many times larger than before, and the endless firelight on its wings was even more translucent than before!
Boom!
Ye Chen moved his Mind and Spirit, and with the acceleration ability of the Vermilion Bird Physique shadow, he shot out from the high platform in the blink of an eye. Almost within a flicker, he flew around the Polar Cave Mansion and landed back precisely on the center of the high platform.
"My speed, my speed has also improved by several folds!"
"Now, my speed might even surpass that of the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, or possibly even stronger!"
Ye Chen sensed the might of the new Divine Ability within his body.
After a while, his Divine Sense stirred again, transforming the True Qi inside his body into Wood Element True Liquid; Ye Chen directly manipulated the Azure Dragon Divine Blood, feeling the new transformations.
In the end, after trying all of the Five Great Divine Bloods, Ye Chen understood completely.
The Primordial True Liquid at his Spirit Sea mid-stage could now mobilize two-fifths of the power of the Five Great Divine Bloods!
He was one step closer to harnessing the full power of the Five Great Divine Bloods, allowing the Divine Blood to drip into the True Liquid and stepping into the third chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the breakthrough of the True Qi Realm completed, Ye Chen gathered up the top-quality Spirit Stones.
But Ye Chen, sitting on the high platform, didn't leave immediately.
Having made significant progress with his Internal Skills, Ye Chen wasn't ready to stop; he decided to take advantage of the transformation brought on by his True Qi breakthrough to further cultivate his External Martial Skills.
"Time to train in the Sword Formation and the Nine Transformation Fighting Body again!"
With a movement of his Mind and Spirit, dozens of Sword Intent Law Beads shot out from within his body.
These Sword Intent Law Beads were crucial for Ye Chen's breakthrough cultivation of the high-level Sword Formation, the "Ten Thousand Swords Divine Ability."
After Ye Chen returned from the ancient tomb and visited Yu, she didn't take back the Sword Intent Law Beads; instead, she allowed Ye Chen to continue to meditate on them.
Yu said to return those Sword Intent Law Beads to her when Ye Chen went to the Central Region to participate in the Sword Fighting Tournament.
Ye Chen planned to advance his cultivation in the Sword Formation before going to the Central Region.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Surrounded by the circling Sword Intent Law Beads, Ye Chen once again entered into the meditation on the Sword Intents.
