Chapter 186: Chapter 21: Breaking Through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation
Leaving that ocean, away from those turbulent environs, Fang Yun quickly found a deserted island.
Gazing upon the verdant expanse atop the island, a smile formed on Fang Yun’s face.
It appeared he had indeed found the right direction.
Mooring his boat offshore, Fang Yun soon set foot on the island.
This island was not very large, at most about one third the size of Spirit Water Island.
The terrain was quite flat, but one part of the island was covered in various types of stones.
In other words, less than half of this island was suitable for planting Sword-toothed Grass.
Even so, he was quite satisfied.
After all, in the process of planting, apart from scattering some seeds, he did not do anything else.
Being able to harvest even a little Life Essence Qi would mean his time was not wasted.
After confirming that the Sword-toothed Grass had reached maturity, the roots of the Five Elements Plants within Fang Yun’s body emerged externally.
It took less than two hours to harvest all the Sword-toothed Grass.
Observing the harvested dozens of points of Life Essence Qi, Fang Yun estimated the planting area for the Sword-toothed Grass.
It was probably several ten thousand acres, which roughly equated to harvesting one point of Life Essence Qi from a thousand acres of Sword-toothed Grass.
Although this amount was much less compared to the Life Essence Qi he harvested on the volcanic island before,
the difference was that he had been more involved in the planting process on the volcanic island.
Now, while planting Sword-toothed Grass, he had only sprayed the seeds and done nothing else.
Now, Fang Yun had a better understanding of the rules of his Golden Finger.
The amount of Life Essence Qi he could harvest depended not only on the life tier of the plants themselves
but also on his level of involvement in the planting process.
If the life tier of the plants represented the total amount of Life Essence Qi,
then his level of involvement in the process determined how much of that total he could claim.
This process led Fang Yun to surmise there might be a connection to certain rules.
However, given that these matters were far beyond his current realm, Fang Yun didn’t dwell too much on these issues.
After harvesting this batch of Sword-toothed Grass, there was no need for him to personally handle the seeding process.
The fallen Sword-toothed Grass itself would serve as new seeds.
But as per the rules of his Golden Finger, the next batch’s yield of Life Essence Qi would certainly be less than the current one.
In order to increase his level of involvement, Fang Yun cast the Rainfall Skill, bringing rain to the island.
Then, by using Earth Power Skills, he adjusted the nutrient content within the soil of the island.
Only after completing all these tasks did Fang Yun return to his boat and continue towards the next island.
In this manner—harvesting from one island, then making it rain, and adjusting the nutritional content—
Fang Yun gathered several dozens to several hundreds of points of Life Essence Qi from each island based on the planted area of Sword-toothed Grass.
Half a year swiftly passed, and Fang Yun had made a large circuit around this cluster of islands where Spiritual Energy was scarce.
He had harvested Sword-toothed Grass from every island he encountered without fail.
Having gathered nearly 30,000 points of Life Essence Qi, and adding the nearly 3,000 points he already had, Fang Yun finally amassed 32,000 points of Life Essence Qi.
At this level, he was finally ready to break through to the 6th layer of Qi Refinement.
Choosing not to return to Sea Origin Island, instead he directly made his way to the volcanic island.
This place was relatively more secluded and a setting with which he was more familiar.
He sat down in a relatively flat area at the base of the volcanic crater.
After resting for two days, rejuvenating his spirit,
he began the breakthrough for his cultivation.
Firstly, he had to elevate his cultivation from the early stage of the 5th layer of Qi Refinement to its peak.
His focus shifted to the Dantian within.
Life Essence Qi was directly channeled into the Mana vortex inside the Dantian.
He began by restoring the mana used during this period to its peak.
Afterward, Life Essence Qi began to enter the meridians within his body and transformed into Mana through the conversion by his Spirit Root.
The remaining portion was converted using the Five Elements Plants, to replenish any deficit in Mana.
Thus, a perfect Five Elements Magical Power formed within the Dantian, and swiftly merged into the Mana vortex.
Following this method, Life Essence Qi continuously transformed into mana value within his body.
Soon, the entire Mana vortex swelled to about double the size typical of the initial stage of the 5th layer of Qi Refinement.
Correspondingly, Fang Yun’s mana value reached nearly 8,000 points.
At this moment, Fang Yun also encountered the bottleneck between the 5th and 6th levels of Qi Cultivation as expected.
However, looking at the remaining more than 20,000 points of Life Essence Qi, even though the ratio of Life Essence Qi to mana has dropped to 2:1,
It should still be enough for Fang Yun to break through to the 6th level of Qi Cultivation.
As his body and the Five Elements Plants continuously operated, strands of Five Elements Magical Power were infused into the vortex of mana.
The mana vortex, which had already expanded to double its size, began to show signs of instability.
Seeing the mana vortex, now with nearly 8,000 mana points, flicker uncertainly,
Fang Yun started to feel a bit anxious.
Because he found that during the breakthrough, his mana value had always been expanding exponentially.
He didn’t know what breakthroughs were like for other people, but clearly, his way of breaking through was abnormal.
He didn’t know whether it was because of the Five Elements practice or because his Five Elements Plants were too well-matched.
Or perhaps it was because the Five Elements mana vortex was so well-balanced that it could accommodate more mana.
Of course, it might also be a combination of various reasons, and the appearance of an irrational energy like Life Essence Qi should also be a major reason for this phenomenon.
Under the convergence of various opportunities, even at the 5th level of Qi Cultivation, Fang Yun possessed an amount of mana that even surpassed that of others at the 9th level of Qi Refinement.
It was just that Fang Yun was unaware of how much mana one had during the Foundation Establishment stage; otherwise, he might even suspect that his mana was comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In this uncontrollable situation, Fang Yun couldn’t help feeling a bit panicky.
However, thinking of the critical moment he was currently breaking through, Fang Yun temporarily suppressed his other concerns.
As mana continued to be infused, the mana vortex became increasingly unstable.
When 16,000 points of Life Essence Qi were infused, the mana vortex suddenly shook violently, then began to expand crazily outward.
A powerful aura first pushed the surrounding Life Essence Qi and the Five Elements Plants far to the edges of the Dantian,
Then continued to push the boundaries of the Dantian outward.
It was only after the remaining aura surged into the meridians and penetrated the skin, that it vigorously affected the air around him,
Causing the air to twist wildly.
As a result, atop the volcano on the volcanic island, a massive tornado suddenly formed.
The destructive force reactivated the volcano, which had ceased its eruption.
Large amounts of lava began to spew crazily from the volcano’s vent.
Fortunately, due to the eruption a year ago, the volcano didn’t have a large storage of lava.
Meaning, after a short eruption, the lava from the vent subsided.
And because of the existence of the tornado, all of the lava was swept onto the island, sparing Fang Yun who was sitting nearby the crater from harm.
At this time, Fang Yun calmed the turbulence of mana inside his Dantian and body.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
Feeling the terrifying mana released as the mana vortex in the Dantian spun, Fang Yun could even sense that with a light wave, he could shatter the volcano’s vent in front of him.
Fang Yun knew this was a psychological illusion after the breakthrough.
Because even with so much mana in his body, without an appropriate method, if he truly exerted that much mana, it was his own body that would be harmed first, not the volcano’s vent in front of him.
After calming down this post-breakthrough psychological illusion, Fang Yun quietly felt the changes in his body.
After this breakthrough, the mana value inside his Dantian flipped 4 times in an instant.
Thus, his body obviously couldn’t keep up with the speed of the mana breakthrough.
He could even feel that when the mana surged from the Dantian into his body, his meridians transmitted a piercing pain of being overburdened.
In such a situation, even if his body could strengthen a certain extent with the nourishment of Mana Law afterward,
It wouldn’t reach the terrifying degree of being 4 times stronger like before.
During previous realm breakthroughs, because the total amount of mana wasn’t that high, and his body had undergone multiple transformations,
Overall, he could barely keep up with the progress of mana.
But facing a full 16,000 mana points, especially after compression and concentration,
Fang Yun’s body was already overburdened.
If he didn’t handle this, the mana in his body couldn’t be operated at full force.
Once it was fully operated, his body would definitely explode.
Apart from the current problem, until his body’s issues were resolved, he didn’t dare to increase the mana in his body by any amount.

Not to mention breaking through to the 7th level of Qi Refinement.
Thinking back to the scene when breaking from the 3rd to the 4th level of Qi Refinement,
If his body wasn’t strong enough, a breakthrough would certainly mean being shattered to pieces.
There would be no surprises.
With this in mind, Fang Yun’s expression became more solemn.
