Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 1063 Harvest
Number One was finally convinced. In his opinion, Zhang Haoran's sudden increase in blood and qi was too much, and his control would definitely decrease. It wouldn't matter if it decreased a little more, since his martial arts realm could be improved again in the future.

This is the only chance he has to complete the Nadao infusion ahead of schedule, so he should cooperate with Operation Number Two.

"Alright! You make a good point! Let's hurry up and wait for the main body to finish its breakthrough. Even if we pay several times the price, we might not succeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Number One immediately took action. With a wave of his hand, a massive amount of primordial energy surged from the end of the Great Dao and poured into the core sword path.

Number Two was overjoyed upon seeing this, and immediately summoned his sharp aura to begin refining his swordsmanship.

As the swordsmanship was continuously refined, the silver light it emitted became increasingly dazzling.

Rumble!
A series of violent tremors came, and the primordial world began to expand outward.

"boom!"

Zhang Haoran was trying his best to control his qi and blood when suddenly his qi and blood surged by a large margin, which immediately threw him into a panic. The current rate of increase had reached the limit of his control.

As your Qi and blood increase, your ability to control your body will gradually decrease, and that will be truly dangerous!

"Holy crap! What's going on? How come the rate at which my Qi and blood are increasing has accelerated again?!"

He was unaware that he had been tricked by his own clone, and could only grit his teeth and struggle to hold on.

"I'm going to die! If this keeps up, I can't hold on for much longer."

Fortunately, most of the increase is in basic Qi and blood, which is relatively easy to control, and I can barely hold on for a while. However, if this state continues, problems will definitely arise.

Zhang Haoran, trying to find humor in the situation, said, "Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time! At least right now, the feeling of my blood and qi surging is really great."

2100 million... 2200 million... 2500 million, and it hasn't stopped yet. His basic vital energy is increasing rapidly at an explosive rate...

Click, click, click!
The sound of bones grinding together rang out, and his basic qi and blood increased, further strengthening his golden body. His powerful physique became the best vessel, suppressing the raging qi and blood.

The newly advanced Undying Body quickly stabilized under the constant attacks and held firm to its last line of defense.

Zhang Haoran now feels like he can't stop; his basic qi and blood are increasing wildly, and before he can become a Dao Emperor, there is no way he will be restricted in any way.

Rumble!
The primordial space vibrated continuously, and the Great Dao extended rapidly, transforming more primordial amplification into basic Qi and blood.

Because his foundation was so solid, and his three clones worked hard to refine their swordsmanship, the process of absorbing the Dao into his body was very fast, and he had already completed more than half of it.

Zhang Haoran was sitting cross-legged in the lava, and the area within a hundred miles was engulfed in flames.

He felt the increasingly violent blood and qi within his body and frowned, saying, "Damn it, this won't do. The rate at which my blood and qi are increasing is too fast. If this continues, it will easily get out of control, causing my martial arts realm to decline."

This is a case of accumulating strength before unleashing it. Lao Tzu cannot control the increase of Qi and blood, but he can try to control the rate of increase.

"Given enough time, even a large amount of qi and blood can be gradually brought under control."

"Yes! Just do it!"

This was the best solution he could think of.

Zhang Haoran began to fully circulate his cultivation technique, not to improve control, but to suppress the rapid increase in his qi and blood.

First, there was that energy that suddenly appeared in the body. This was the energy that returned after breaking through the void gate, and it was the source of all the changes.

Zhang Haoran no longer allowed it to merge at will, but instead wrapped it with his undying power and then slowly released it.

Ordinary martial artists certainly cannot do this, because no matter whether you use your blood and qi or your spiritual power to envelop it, that energy will be immediately assimilated into the corresponding energy.

However, the level of the Undying Power was too high to be converted into such a high-level energy, so it could only be left to be enveloped by it.

In fact, Zhang Haoran hoped that this energy could be transformed into the power of immortality, even if the proportion was a little higher.

There are many ways to improve one's Qi and blood, as well as one's spiritual power, but it is extremely difficult to improve one's undying power even slightly.

Seeing that the energy was under control, Zhang Haoran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

By addressing the root cause of this change, the rate at which qi and blood increased indeed slowed down.

"Thank goodness! We've finally got it under control!"

He observed carefully and saw that the special energy was still flowing in, but it was all enveloped by the power of immortality, and the speed at which it was integrated into his body could be adjusted on its own.

The increased Qi and blood now are mostly basic Qi and blood transformed from the original source amplification, and part of it is accumulated from before.

The portion of qi and blood that was boosted by breaking through the realm was temporarily restricted.

Zhang Haoran said with some doubt, "Even if my previous accumulation was very substantial, the increase in qi and blood this time is too much."

It's no wonder he was puzzled, since his basic Qi and blood had increased by nearly eight million, and there was no sign of it stopping.

Even if he had cultivated the Undying Body to the second level and refined a lot of true blood, the improvement should not be so exaggerated!
He was completely focused on suppressing his qi and blood, unaware that this was a "surprise" prepared for him by his clone!

"Never mind, increasing qi and blood is always a good thing, as long as it doesn't get out of control."

This time, not only did my blood and qi increase, but my mental strength also increased significantly. It exceeded 100,000 Hz at the moment of breakthrough and has now reached 120,000 Hz, and it is still increasing.

However, there's no need to worry about that. The immortal sword soul within the sea of ​​consciousness is constantly refining the newly generated spiritual power.

Under the immense pressure of a sixth-tier sword soul, the surge in mental power couldn't cause any significant disturbance. The mental power, after being tempered and compressed, increased at an acceptable rate and didn't bring him much pressure.

Not needing to fight on two fronts is one of the reasons why Zhang Haoran was able to suppress his qi and blood.

We are currently at a breakthrough point, and there are significant changes within our sea of ​​consciousness.

Golden and silver light intertwined within his sea of ​​consciousness. A large amount of soul power surged forth during the breakthrough, which was absorbed by the sword soul. The sword soul, which had already reached the initial stage of the sixth rank, was also taking advantage of the breakthrough opportunity to slowly improve and move towards the middle stage.

The sword spirit was strengthened, unleashing an even more powerful sword intent that swept through the sea of ​​consciousness again and again.

The surge in mental power was constantly being refined. However, it had been suppressed for too long before, and with the energy replenishment during the breakthrough, the mental power was still increasing at a visible rate.

This time, there's no need to send it to multiple clones.

After breaking through the realm, the upper limit of mental power also increases, and there will be no more bottlenecks before reaching 20 Hertz.

Reaching 200,000 in mental strength is another watershed moment; once you break through it, you will experience a second qualitative change.

There's no need to worry about mental strength for now; with two great sword souls refining it, it's perfectly safe!

Zhang Haoran focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique, striving to keep every bit of increased qi and blood under his control.

Under his full suppression, the increase in qi and blood was relatively stable. He managed to delay the change that could have been completed in a few hours for several days.

During this time, he sensed gazes directed at him several times; those must be the boss of this level, the projection of the Earth Emperor. It seemed that the other party had been observing him ever since he entered the level.

However, the Earth Emperor's projection is in a rather special state, and he dares not act rashly without being absolutely certain of success.

After all, Zhang Haoran couldn't suppress his aura when he was promoted, so his strength should be obvious at a glance.

If you can kill such a powerful enemy with one blow, that's fine, but otherwise you'll be creating a formidable foe, the kind that's irreconcilable.

The Earth Emperor's projection in this level was once removed by the main body using special means, and perished in place of the main body. It is now in a very special state. Once it perishes, it will never be resurrected, and this level may collapse as a result.

Besides, this projection isn't very strong right now, and even if it were to actually fight, it might not be able to kill Zhang Haoran.

He is indeed in a breakthrough phase, but he has encountered some significant problems. Suppressing the surge in his qi and blood has exhausted all his energy, making it unsuitable for him to take action for the time being. However, if he encounters real danger, he is not entirely without the ability to fight back.

At worst, we can end this breakthrough early; the only downside is that the gains will be smaller.

As long as he completely cuts off the returning energy, this breakthrough will end immediately. The previous accumulation can be released slowly, and the absorption of Dao into the body can be done later. The loss will not be too great, but it will waste more time.

However, at that time, the Earth Emperor's lineage will face the most ferocious retaliation.

The hatred for the severed path is irreconcilable!
Moreover, it's about interrupting someone else's breakthrough.

This projection is definitely doomed; he will go after the Earth Emperor's true form and his three sons.

The Earth Emperor did not take action because of these concerns, but the bigger reason was that his plan had not been completed.

This tattered projection remains here for other purposes.

"You know what's going on!"

If no one comes looking for trouble, Zhang Haoran won't provoke them either; consolidating his gains this time is more important.

There was no sunrise or sunset in this small space, and he didn't know how much time had passed. He felt that the special energy in his body was exhausted, the increase in his blood and qi began to slow down, and the increase in his original source was reduced a lot. It seemed that he was about to complete the absorption of the Dao into his body.

"call!"

Zhang Haoran let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, we managed to hold on, and nothing unexpected happened!"

Because he decisively extended the breakthrough time, his qi and blood never slipped out of his control, his control did not drop much, and his sword dao realm remained at the initial stage of the Earth Sword realm, without falling to the entry level.

This is already the best possible outcome!
At the same time, he also understood the reason for the sudden surge in his Qi and blood. The process of absorbing the Dao into the body, which should have been completed gradually throughout the entire Breaking Nine stage, was instead largely completed by his three clones during the breakthrough. How could the speed at which his Qi and blood increased not be fast?

Zhang Haoran's consciousness swept across the primordial space and then withdrew without saying a word.

After all, they were able to seize the opportunity during the breakthrough and complete most of the Dao absorption, saving him a lot of time.

However, expecting praise was out of the question; they almost got him killed, so it was good enough that they weren't beaten up.

This time, the good and bad deeds cancel each other out; there is neither praise nor criticism.

Ah!
That's not appropriate either. Number Three only knows how to obey orders and has no sense of responsibility. Moreover, this time he provided a lot of sharp energy to temper his swordsmanship, which is a great contribution and deserves praise.

If you have extra spiritual energy in the future, pass it on to him.

Number One had previously tried to dissuade them, and this time he played a significant role, so it's appropriate to grant him some additional privileges.

Only the culprit number two must be severely punished.

This guy knew it could lead to disastrous consequences, yet he still acted on his own. He really doesn't care about my safety at all.

If we don't teach them a lesson, they might cause even bigger trouble in the future.

Especially that sentence, which made him feel very awkward. What does "as long as he doesn't die" mean?
A decline in martial arts prowess is a very serious problem!
However, this sword tempering was presided over by Number Two, who had made the greatest contribution, and was now exhausted like a dead dog, so it was not appropriate to punish him immediately.

"Damn it! I'm fine, I'll let this go, but no matter what happens in the future, I can't let Number Two take charge again, otherwise I'll be screwed over by him sooner or later."

"It's decided. From now on, all matters concerning the Origin Space will be handled by Number One."

He'd rather miss some opportunities than take any more risks; this time he almost got screwed over.

Having understood the cause and effect, he was relieved.

Zhang Haoran did not get up immediately, but first checked his own condition. What he saw shocked him so much that his eyes widened.

"Holy crap! My Qi and blood have increased so much! I'll be close to reaching the high level of Breaking Nine after this breakthrough!"

Hahaha!
No need to fear the Emperor anymore!

In a one-on-one fight, I'm even confident I can kill him!

At this moment, his heart was filled with pride!
He no longer needed to rely on a group attack, nor did he need to gradually weaken the enemy's strength. Even in a head-on confrontation, he was confident he could kill some weaker emperors.

From then on, humanity truly stood up and no longer needed to fear any challenge.

The biggest increase from this breakthrough was undoubtedly in Qi and Blood, thanks to previous accumulation, the rewards from this breakthrough, and the completion of most of the Dao absorption process.

This brings his base Qi and Blood to nearly 3000 million, and with the source amplification, the Qi and Blood he can unleash exceeds 6000 million calories.

This doesn't even take into account the three qualitative changes in blood and qi strength, or the amplification of sword intent. At this point, if he were to fight an ordinary emperor head-on, he would definitely have the upper hand, and if he were to use a finishing move, he might even be able to kill him.

At this moment, he finally had the means to truly contend with the emperor.

Of course, this refers to emperors of average strength, excluding the top-tier beings such as the God Emperor.

To contend with the God Emperor, one must at least attain enlightenment.

He checked his own source space and began to complain again: "Damn it! We were so close, couldn't you guys have tried a little harder?"

That's why I said number two is unreliable.
Since you've already taken the risk once, why not go all the way?
Wouldn't it be great to just directly complete the Dao entry into the body?

If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability!
This is Lao Tzu's style!
What's the point of leaving a loose end now?

Previously, Zhang Haoran had complained that Number Two was acting too aggressively, causing him to take on greater risks.

Now, he wished that Number Two would be even more aggressive and simply help him complete the Dao absorption process directly, which would save him so much trouble.

Fortunately, he didn't say this out loud, otherwise if Number Two heard it, he would definitely quit immediately and run to find his frenemy Fang Ping.

I seized the opportunity to hone my swordsmanship, but you complained that I wasn't steady enough. Now that you realize I'm still lacking something, you complain that I'm not aggressive enough. Being your clone is too difficult!
