CHAPTER 1352: CHAPTER 1352: IS A BREAKTHROUGH IMMINENT?

"Understanding the power of Martial Arts?" When they heard Xiao Zheng’s words, although they had reached a high level, they still found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Seeing their expressions, Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly. Although he could explain the essence of Martial Arts clearly, once he did, it might not be beneficial for them at all!

On the crucial juncture of breaking through to Martial Saint, only by relying on one’s insights can one lay the most solid foundation!

All he could do was point them in a general direction.

Vigorous Air Liquification is just the surface!

The comprehension of Martial Arts is the key!

To be precise, it’s the laws and principles of Martial Arts. In this world, everything has its inherent laws, operating orderly within those laws.

For instance, an apple falling to the ground, and Earth orbiting the sun, the essence behind them is the same, namely the existence of gravity.

Martial Arts are no different.

Ordinary cultivators only need to know about phenomena like "apple falling" and that’s enough, but to break through to Martial Saint, one must understand the fundamental laws behind such phenomena.

If one cannot achieve this, it will be extremely difficult to break through!

The reason Xiao Zheng brought them to this deep mountain forest is also an attempt to help them better immerse into that state with the aid of the environment.

"Alright, don’t overthink. Just keep this in mind, and when you break through to Martial Saint, you will naturally understand," Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Now, you may begin."

"Yes."

Both of them nodded solemnly.

The mountaintop was a large flat area. The two of them found their respective corners and sat cross-legged, immediately beginning their breakthroughs.

Xiao Zheng watched them, ready to intervene if anything unforeseen happened during their breakthrough to Martial Saint.

Buzz...

As soon as Long Qie sat down, his whole being immersed into himself, completely merging with the flowing Gang Qi within his body.

In an instant, he felt an extraordinarily wonderful sensation, as if his consciousness were entirely integrated with the Gang Qi, like a breeze in the heaven and earth, able to roam freely.

This is the wonder of Martial Arts, though the journey of cultivation is fraught with challenges, it also presents many beautiful sceneries.

"Let the breakthrough begin now..." As he felt he had completely mastered the Gang Qi, Long Qie let out a low roar in his heart.

Bang!

The Gang Qi flowing within him suddenly surged at that moment, turning into torrents, rushing wildly.

"Enter the Dantian!"

With Long Qie’s lion-like low roar, the torrents of Gang Qi burst into his Dantian area.

In the Dantian, there existed a huge Gang Yuan vortex, which spun quietly there, exhaling a large amount of new Gang Qi with each rotation, integrating endlessly into Long Qie’s body.

However, at this moment, as numerous torrents of Gang Qi surged into the vortex, the situation gradually changed.

The Gang Qi vortex astonishingly began to rotate in reverse. Initially, it exhaled new Gang Qi, but at this point, it suddenly erupted with a tremendous suction!

Bang!

Long Qie’s entire body trembled violently. Under this massive suction, all the power within him surged out.

The torrents of Gang Qi, roaring and hissing like raging rivers, kept rushing into the vortex, the collision producing an enormous roar, much like a colossal waterfall crashing into a deep pool.

It was an incredibly magnificent scene!

Outside, at this moment, Long Qie’s body was shrouded in the extremely brilliant and dazzling Gang Qi glow, surging like towering waves, causing the surrounding ground to vibrate slightly.

Boom boom boom!!!

This state continued, and gradually, the speed of the Gang Qi vortex increased, until it rotated as a shadow, the suction reaching its peak.

"Ah..."

Long Qie growled.

At this moment, he felt as though his vital essence wanted to rush out, flooding into the vortex, strengthening it further.

Instantly, Long Qie realized they had reached the critical point! The Gang Qi vortex had gathered all the power he could muster at this moment.

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

Long Qie shouted in his heart.

The most crucial step, Vigorous Air Liquification, was imminent.

Bang!

Sure enough, just as Long Qie had this thought, the Gang Qi vortex violently shuddered, then at its very center, suddenly... a droplet of Gang Qi liquid formed, sparkling like a diamond, exquisitely beautiful, quietly suspended there.

Long Qie was overjoyed!

Pop.

Pop pop pop.

The appearance of the first drop of Gang Qi seemed to open a prelude, as more and more droplets emerged, hovering continuously at the eye of the vortex.

Gradually...

The liquid gathered more and more.

Long Qie’s heart was filled with increasing joy; if the vortex completely turned into liquid, he could break through the chasm of Martial Saint!

By then, he would truly stand as a Martial Saint at the peak of Martial Arts.

However, Long Qie knew the wisdom of enduring through the last stretch of a journey. Success was often most elusive when it seemed closest!

Therefore, at this time, he was even more careful.

He did not dare be careless!

Gradually, the violently rotating vortex had entirely transformed into liquid, with only a trace or two of unsolidified energy remaining.

"Condense the liquid!"

Long Qie lowly roared.

At this moment, he had fully mobilized his will, rushing toward the last remnants of the energy.

He wanted to fully compress this last strength, transforming it into liquid Gang Qi.

Yet, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The quietly suspended Gang Qi suddenly fluctuated, then undulated violently, like an earthquake, within intense tremors.

"What is happening?"

Long Qie was greatly alarmed.

Immediately, he attempted to control this power and suppress it.

However, something shocking happened! Previously, Long Qie controlled his power effortlessly, but this time, it was different.

When he tried to control that Gang Qi, it was completely out of control, like a wild horse out of rein!
