Chapter 2518 - 2012: Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster Level!

First update, pleading for subscription and monthly votes~~~...

The Barbaric God Stone is a very rare Spirit Stone; it is the essence of the wilderness aura condensed, only existing in the Savage Secret Realm.

The wilderness aura to the Barbaric God Stone is like Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to the Spirit Crystal...

In the Savage Secret Realm, wilderness aura is not scarce, and it is even everywhere... For the outside world, wilderness aura is an extremely precious spiritual energy, cherished by infinite martial artists.

However, to natives like the Ironskin Porcupine, it's just like ordinary air, having lived in such an environment for years, naturally not finding it precious...

But the Barbaric God Stone is different; it's the essence of wilderness aura condensed, containing not only a terrifying concentration but a fearsome purity as well... A single Barbaric God Stone is like a Spirit Crystal compared to ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The reason the Ironskin Porcupine has made a nest here is precisely because of this Barbaric God Stone...

Small as it may be, its value is incredibly potent.

Qin Fang even suspected that the so-called treasure in the No.1 Training Chamber was actually the Barbaric God Stone...

However, based on rumor, it seems each tournament winner acquires a treasure, and the Barbaric God Stone appears unlikely to be so abundant, leaving him slightly puzzled... Yet, he temporarily refrains from investigating the discrepancy, preferring to set it aside for now.

"Originally thought it would delay a lot, but now, with this Barbaric God Stone, the advancement speed will definitely be much faster..."

Although this Barbaric God Stone has clearly been somewhat consumed by the Ironskin Porcupine, the remaining portion is still sufficient for Qin Fang to use for upgrading... This Barbaric God Stone is far stronger in realization compared to the Millennium Stone Milk he prepared.

"Little Dragon, you've made a significant contribution this time..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but praise.

If Little Dragon hadn't found this place, he wouldn't have discovered such a beneficial location... While wilderness aura in the Savage Secret Realm is exceedingly rich and the Barbaric God Stone is extremely precious, it's hard to find unless nearby.

Human senses are far inferior to beasts... Even those of Grandmaster Level, Great Grandmaster Level, or Supreme Realm are much weaker compared to similarly ranked spiritual beasts.

Of course, Qin Fang is not alone; he has Little Dragon and Divine Silkworm...

Little Dragon's perceptive ability is extraordinarily impressive, able to locate even such a concealed Barbaric God Stone, showing its keen senses.

"No, merely blocking with a stone isn't nearly sufficient..."

The cave entrance isn't large; just a stone can block it... However, considering for a moment, Qin Fang found it unreliable, thinking, "It's necessary to arrange a few formations for assistance as well..."

Without any hesitation, Qin Fang immediately rummaged through the Props Box to retrieve many items, all intended for setting up formations... Being a Great Grandmaster Level Array Master now, his arranged formations are quite formidable.

In the battle of the Sea of Heartlessness's Grand Formation, the formations Qin Fang arranged troubled the Evil Sect's hundred experts for three days before breaking through...

Although there isn't a grand formation to rely on here, meaning many small formations can't be set up, arranging a few trigger-based warning formations is certainly feasible... Little Dragon and Divine Silkworm guarding outside will immediately kill intruding enemies upon detection.

Of course, should they encounter an unbeatable opponent, they will actively seek Qin Fang's help...

Setting up formations is troublesome work...

But Qin Fang has modest demands for formations, naturally arranging them as simply as possible, still spending nearly half an hour setting up three warning formations... Of course, these formations, besides warning, also serve simple attack and defense functions.

"Whew~~~ Done! Finally, I can retreat to upgrade!"

Once Qin Fang finished these tasks, night had completely fallen, slightly allowing Qin Fang to relax... With this cave and these formations, at least this night should pass safely.

Leaving Little Dragon and Divine Silkworm outside with a simple escape passage for them... It's only activated upon encountering danger; otherwise, Qin Fang must personally guard the passage's perimeter to prevent entry by small exotic beasts.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Qin Fang pried the Barbaric God Stone from the rock wall, placing it in his palm, while absorbing the surrounding wilderness aura, and attempting to absorb the aura from the Barbaric God Stone.

Retreat, aiming for Great Grandmaster Level!

With everything settled, Qin Fang began the breakthrough officially...

This is the goal he strived furiously to reach, fighting into the Five Sects Grand Competition finals... now finally realized!

Although the current environment isn't quite as expected, it's already on the track Qin Fang intended...

Qin Fang's strength had long reached the level for a breakthrough... But his special physique and his rapid advancement also compelled him to be steadfast and make his breakthroughs step by step.

Now, his realm has finally reached the Master Level Peak, possessing the conditions to charge into the Great Grandmaster Level... Absorbing the extremely dense Savage Wildlands air around him, Qin Fang is striving hard to break through!

All the True Qi in his body was fully mobilized, rapidly circulating through his meridians...

A portion of elemental energy is also spontaneously circulating, but the circulation of elemental energy is relatively independent, always maintaining a distinct separation from True Qi... not only are their components different, but even their operating routes are completely different.

The route for True Qi follows the orthodox path of the Extraordinary Meridians... It varies slightly depending on the specific mental method of cultivation, but it generally cannot escape the system of the Extraordinary Meridians!

Elemental energy, on the other hand, is different. Although part of its route does circulate within the Extraordinary Meridians, at some special nodes, it switches to run through some special meridians... even some extremely hidden meridians.

But for Qin Fang, this is naturally a good thing as well...

The circulation of elemental energy has, to a certain extent, strengthened the purity of Qin Fang's True Qi, and the strength and toughness of True Qi have also been significantly enhanced... When this True Qi impacts the almost unbreakable barrier, the resulting pressure is even greater.

True Qi and elemental energy are both running inside Qin Fang, and the speed is getting faster and faster...

A faint pressure slowly seeped out from Qin Fang's body, something that Little Dragon and the Divine Silkworm could feel even from behind layers of formations.

In the process of True Qi circulation, Qin Fang's body was also in an extremely mysterious state...

If someone were standing next to Qin Fang right now, they would notice his body undergoing some strange changes... as if he suddenly became a transparent person, eerily merging with the surrounding environment.

However, with careful observation, one could discover the meridians inside Qin Fang's body revealing themselves on his body... faintly, one could also see strands of True Qi and elemental energy circulating and flowing within them...

At the same time, strands of Savage Wildlands air were continuously being absorbed into Qin Fang's Dantian.

The infusion of Savage Wildlands air immediately brought enormous power to Qin Fang's True Qi, making it seem to swell several times over instantly... the flow of True Qi now appeared much thicker than before.

Ordinary Savage Wildlands air would be the same, although quite dense. However, under the dual compression of Qin Fang's elemental energy and True Qi, it can only slowly be converted into the True Qi Qin Fang requires... As the flow of True Qi continuously strengthens, naturally, his power is also continuously strengthening.

The flow of True Qi slowly pounded against the Grandmaster Level barrier... although it remained steadfast, it was gradually beginning to loosen.

Qin Fang meditated with closed eyes, seemingly indifferent to the external world.

But in reality, the process of the convergence and fusion of various forces within his body was clearly "seen" by Qin Fang in his mind.

Buzz~~~

Particularly when an incomparably pure strand of Savage Wildlands air surged into Qin Fang's body, it made Qin Fang feel an incredibly overwhelming pressure... Qin Fang knew that it was definitely coming from the Barbaric God Stone.

This particular Savage Wildlands air was extremely pure, and at the moment it entered Qin Fang's body, it almost blew his meridians apart...

Fortunately, Qin Fang's body is extremely strong, and the meridians within had been reforged in the Spiritual Spring, having long since become incredibly tough... although this terrifying Savage Wildlands air caused Qin Fang immense pain, it was not enough to rupture him.

On the contrary, the infusion of this Savage Wildlands air seemed more like a shot of adrenaline for Qin Fang.

"Break through... to the Great Grandmaster Level!"

Slowly integrating the Savage Wildlands air, Qin Fang felt much more confident in his bid to break through, and once he felt ready, he immediately started mobilizing all available internal forces to launch an attack on that barrier.

If successful, naturally the barrier shatters, and Qin Fang steps into a higher layer, a new realm...

If failed, well, then it's a failure...

For most people, such an attempt might damage their True Qi, Dantian, meridians, and so on, potentially leading to irreversible injuries... At worst, it might mean being unable to attempt another breakthrough for two or three years.

None of this, however, has any meaning for Qin Fang...

Internal injuries might be a bit troublesome, but Qin Fang has plenty of Spiritual Medicines, Elixirs, etc., for treating internal injuries, which he can very well manage.

As for external injuries, those are no problem at all. With the Blood Replenishing Pill being applied vigorously, no matter how severe an injury, as long as it's not fatal, it can pull someone back, even allowing them to recover to their absolute peak...

Although Qin Fang's special physique ensures more breakthrough opportunities than others... Qin Fang still hopes to succeed in one go! (To be continued.
