Chapter 4: Breakthrough
The moonlight was hazy, as if a layer of gauze was draped over the surface of the water, tides ebbing and flowing, the sea breeze bringing bursts of fishy saltiness. Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the lotus platform with eyes closed, his whole body enveloped by the luminous glow of array patterns, his aspect solemn and majestic.
With the rising and falling of the sea's tides, the mana he cultivated seemed to resonate with them, and an odd sound like surging waves emitted from within his body.
Pale blue mana tinged with gold flowed through his meridians, like a hundred rivers converging, eventually forming a misty spiritual sea within his Dantian.
Wisps of mist, like tiny snakes, escaped from the seven orifices of his mouth and nose—those were Spiritual Energy Groups that he hadn't had time to refine.
Schools of fish transformed into a sea of scales, churning in layers, heavily encircling the lotus platform, competing for the pure spiritual mist, a magnificent scene.
Naturally, the biggest winners were still the two Green Jade Carps.
Time trickled by, and this breakthrough lasted for an entire night.
Not until the first light dimmed and dawn turned white did Li Quanqing's body suddenly tremble, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Two beams of light shot out from his pupils, half a foot long, piercing the deepest darkness just before dawn.
A dazzling sun leaped out of the sea, crimson and golden rays spilled out over the Donglan Sea region, warming the body with their touch.
