143 Completed breakthrough. (1/2)
Li Yang closed his eyes and spent a bit of time regulating his state, calmly breathing in and out, the Qi in the area flowing towards him in a steady stream. You had to be as calm as possible when you tried to perform a breakthrough, especially when you were planning on brute-forcing one like Li Yang was about to. Li Yang felt confident in his calmness after only two minutes, opening his eyes and glancing at Fang Ying. She had been waiting for him to finish regulating his state, her finger fiddling with her interspatial ring the moment he turned to glance at her.
”How much do you plan on increasing your cultivation?”
Brute-forcing a breakthrough required not only a strong body but also a vast reservoir of resources. She knew that Li Yang was just about scraping the bottom of the barrel when it came to resources right now, so it was up to her to provide the resources. But contrary to what she expected, Li Yang shook his head, scratching his chin while gesturing towards a spot a few kilometers away.
”Oh, I don't need any resources, I've got plenty. I was actually gonna tell you to back up a little, I plan on heading directly for the Immortal Rebirth realm, so it's most likely gonna get pretty noisy and messy.”
Fang Ying raised one of her eyebrows while looking at Li Yang with a somewhat curious gaze. She knew that he still had two secondary hearts belonging to the Devil's Grasp Vine, but just those two shouldn't be enough for his breakthrough, especially if he was planning on breaking through directly to the Immortal Rebirth realm. Li Yang understood her curiosity, swiping his interspatial ring and bringing out several handfuls of other interspatial rings.
”Picked them up both after and during the battle with the hydra fellow, would have been a shame to let all these resources just go to waste.”
It wasn't just Li Yang and Tian Zheng's group that had been there when they first entered the den of the hydra, there had been hundreds of other cultivators there as well. But most, if not all, of those cultivators died when the beast revealed itself to actually be able to become a hydra. Each of the dead cultivators left behind their interspatial rings, some ending up destroyed while the rest ended up in Li Yang's hands, allowing him to not worry about how many resources he spent right now. Fang Ying nodded her head in understanding, patting Langshen on the head and giving his fur a few rubs.

”Let's back up a little, you don't want to get caught in the crossfire.”
Langshen raised his head and let out a low whine, clearly too tired or lazy to actually bother moving right now. Fang Ying clicked her tongue once and flicked Langshen on the forehead, standing up and wrapping her arms underneath his body, lifting him up and carrying him away.
They quickly reached their new position a few kilometers away and sat down, Fang Ying giving Li Yang a thumbs up to show that he could proceed.
Li Yang sent his mind into the various interspatial rings and brought out any resources that suited one of his laws, barring his law of destruction, of course, finding resources for that law was nigh impossible. Three veritable mountains of resources quickly formed around him, even Tian Zheng and the other future clan leaders would find it somewhat hard to produce this amount of resources for their cultivation without saving up for a bit.
But Li Yang didn't stop after building the three mountains of resources, he also took out the two centerpieces that were vital to this cultivation, the secondary hearts of the Devil's Grasp Vine. The gnarly vines that coiled around each other and formed the shape of two hearts were still pulsating faintly, highly concentrated lifeforce coursing through them without pause. With how much lifeforce was gathered in them, a normal person would explode if they were to attempt absorbing it.
Li Yang closed his eyes and sank his vision into his dantian, taking a deep breath in the process. At the center of the black void that was his dantian stood his Ascending Foundation, the platform built when his 36 runes formed a circle and connected to each other through a thick stream of Qi. Standing atop the Ascending Foundation was the barren and craggy mountain that was his Ascending Road. Once this mountain became unable to grow further, he would be only a single step away from the Immortal Rebirth realm.
Small tendrils of Qi extended from Li Yang's body, each of his breaths causing the tendrils to grow a little larger as they connected with the mountains of resources. The various plants, herbs, fruits, ores, and vegetables started to disintegrate under the tendrils of Qi, turning into streams of pure elemental energy that was then absorbed by the tendrils and brought back to Li Yang's body.
The elemental energy rushed through his veins in a rampant manner, doing its best to break free of Li Yang's chains and tear a way out of his body. Li Yang's brows furrowed slightly at the pain, but he didn't allow it to halt his cultivation, directing all the energy into his dantian, pouring it into 27 of his 36 runes.
