Chapter 128: 9, epitome, 81 cycles

Previously, the reason that Sebastian ended up being able to wake up from his deep trance was because his main energy core had been filled to the brim with spiritual energy by the fire spiritual energy that had been constantly entering into his main energy core while his sun energy refining technique was revolving.

As soon as Sebastian’s main energy core was filled to the brim with spiritual energy, a weird feeling immediately appeared in Sebastian’s dantian, causing Sebastian to open his eyes and regain his consciousness.

As for what that weird feeling was…

To Sebastian, it felt as if his main energy core had been enveloped by an invisible barrier, and that invisible barrier was preventing his main energy core from being able to expand furthermore than it already had expanded.

“So… this must be what the so-called “cultivation bottleneck” that everyone always talked about is…”

“Once I have successfully shattered the invisible barrier into pieces, it should mean that I have successfully level-ed up to the next level of my cultivation realm.”

While revolving his sun energy refining technique and controlling the spiritual energy that was contained within his main energy core, Sebastian noticed that he was able to freely move the spiritual energy out from the main energy core and back into the main energy core.

However, if he were to absorb spiritual energy from his surroundings, then try to absorb the spiritual energy into his main energy core, he noticed that he wasn’t able to do so as his main energy core was currently already at the maximum capacity amount of spiritual energy that it was able to contain within it.

“If I remember correctly… the steps of the best way to break through are to…”

“Firstly, make sure that my energy core is filled to the brim with spiritual energy before attempting at breaking through…”

“Checked…”

“Secondly, start revolving my cultivation technique and begin absorbing as much spiritual energy as I possibly could control to flow through my meridians and spiritual root into my dantian, but do not refine any of the spiritual energy that has arrived at my dantian, or absorb any of the spiritual energy into my main energy core…”

With his eyes closed, Sebastian began taking the steps that he was currently mumbling to himself in his own mind.

In actuality, since Sebastian still currently do not possess spiritual sense, an ability that most cultivators would be able to unlock only when they had arrived at the foundation establishment realm…

It meant that Sebastian wasn’t able to see anything when he had closed his eyes.

However, even if that was the case, by closing his eyes, it allowed him to be able to focus his senses onto his dantian area and sense what he was doing even more clearly than he would be able to when he had his eyes opened.

After all, by closing his eyes, it meant that he was closing off one of his senses that he currently didn’t really need to use while he was attempting at breaking through to the next level of his cultivation realm.

Shortly after, right as he felt that his dantian was filled with a decent amount of fire spiritual energy, Sebastian began to continue muttering to himself in his own mind.

“Now, with my dantian filled with fire spiritual energy, the next step that I should do is to continue revolving my sun energy refining technique, but this time, carry along the fire spiritual energy that is currently within my dantian and let the fire spiritual energy flow through my meridians and spiritual root for as many cycles as I possibly could, or up till a total of 81 cycles.”

“However, in my case… Due to the yang core that I possess, right before I do that… I should make use of an ability that my yang core possesses, but wasn’t specified in my stats tab… Which is the ability to help refine the fire spiritual energy that I had absorbed into my body into an extremely refined type of fire spiritual energy!”

Right as Sebastian muttered to himself up to here…

Sebastian began carrying all of the fire spiritual energy within his dantian toward his yang core and letting his yang core absorbed all of the fire spiritual energy.

Right as all of the fire spiritual energy had been absorbed by the yang core, the yang core began spinning at high speed, and without long, refined fire spiritual energy began surging out from the yang core.

“Hmm… there’s actually only less than 1/5 of the total amount of fire spiritual energy that I had absorbed into my dantian…”

“Perhaps, I should refine even more fire spiritual energy…”

“After all, with my current proficiency of the sun energy refining technique, I’m confident that I’m able to revolve much more amount of fire spiritual energy than this through my meridians and spiritual root.”

“Though, I should take note that I most likely won’t be able to revolve as much of the refined fire spiritual energy through my meridians and spiritual root than I would be able of normal fire spiritual energy.”

Upon thinking up to here, without any hesitation, Sebastian began absorbing and refining even more fire spiritual energy, and shortly after, after having refined 3 batches of fire spiritual energy, Sebastian began revolving his sun energy refining technique and controlled all of the fire spiritual energy to revolve through his meridians and spiritual root for as many cycles as he possibly could.

9 was the true epitome number when it comes to things like cultivation techniques and the revolving of one’s cultivation techniques, and the numbers that were multiplies of 9 were the best numbers of cycles to revolve one’s cultivation technique up to.

It was commonly known that, when one has achieved the true perfect proficiency of one’s technique, one would be able to revolve their cultivation technique for up to a total of 81 cycles in a single shot.

And…
