Chapter 697 Breakthrough
Rumble!
He endured the pain and practiced the Heavenly Jade Body cultivation method with all his might. There were rumbling sounds coming from deep within his body, as if a huge mill was grinding constantly. Every speck of dust that made up his body was being ground and tempered by an inexplicable force. At the same time, the essence of thunder was constantly being absorbed and refined by every speck of dust.

Bang!
The next moment, Zhang Qian's entire body suddenly exploded and turned into dust all over the sky. Billions of dust particles are the basis of the physical body. At this moment, each of these dust particles emits a faint lightning light. The continuous lightning lights make Zhang Qian look like a thunder giant.

In the endless tempering of thunder, every speck of dust is transforming and evolving. Even traces of impurities are expelled and gathered into wisps of gray mist, which are immediately annihilated into nothingness by the thunder.

Zhang Qian had a completely different feeling at this moment. After his body completely disintegrated into dust, he immediately lost all sense of pain. He only felt that he was immersed in thunder and felt endless numbness and itchiness.

However, the power of the Purple Extreme Yuan Ting Thunder Bead is not endless. In less than a quarter of an hour, the power of thunder was slowly dissipating and was almost exhausted. Before the power of thunder was exhausted, the dust in the sky transformed by Zhang Qian moved. The dark cloud-like dust gently rolled up a crisp bamboo shoot on the high platform. The bamboo shoot exuded an extremely rich vitality and a trace of emerald green lightning.

This is the South China Sea's magical bamboo that wards off evil spirits. This treasure is also extremely precious. It is only produced on some fairy islands deep in the South China Sea. Moreover, the growth rate of this bamboo shoot is extremely slow. It is good if it can grow one inch in a hundred years. However, Zhang Qian's bamboo shoot is about one foot tall.

Bang!
Sweeped by the dust in the sky, the bamboo shoots exploded and turned into a ball of emerald green clouds, which were directly merged by the dust.

Zhang Qian suddenly felt an extremely strong vitality coming at him. The vitality was very strange. It contained an extremely strong purifying power and gave off an aura that could drive away all evil spirits.

Under the influence of this breath, a green flame emerged from the dust particles in the sky that Zhang Qian had transformed into, and the flame kept burning all the dust particles. The strange thing was that these flames looked extremely fierce, but they did not burn any dust particles. Instead, they made each dust particle more complete. Faintly, there was something missing in each dust particle, some indescribable breath. These invisible and intangible breaths were directly burned away by the green flames.

“What a weird feeling!”

Zhang Qian only felt a more and more relaxed feeling, accompanied by the burning of green flames, and the dust of his flesh and blood broke free from layer after layer of restraints. This feeling was an extremely free feeling, which made him very comfortable.

Next, he fused and refined the Spiritual Earth Mother and the Fragrant Cloud Rootless Ganoderma in turn. When only the Innate Stone Spirit Heart and the Billion-Year Icy Soul were left on the platform, each of Zhang Qian's billions of scattered dust particles had become crystal clear, like grains of crystal that were invisible to the naked eye, and extremely clear.

"The Heart of the Innate Stone Spirit!"

brush!
Billions of tiny dust particles swept over and directly wrapped up the heart of the innate stone spirit. That was not all. The moment the heart of the innate stone spirit was wrapped up, Zhang Qian immediately activated the billion-year ice soul.

Suddenly, a horrifying cold swept through the entire space, and the entire platform was instantly frozen. That was not all, the ninth floor of the pavilion was also swept by the strange cold. A series of muffled sounds came from the space, as if the entire space was about to be frozen and cracked by the strange cold.

However, as Zhang Qian practiced the Heavenly Dao Jade Body technique, the overwhelming coldness instantly shrank and slowly gathered around the platform. Finally, all the coldness gathered into a round ice ball about ten feet high.

Zhang Qian's body was trapped in this block of ice, completely frozen.

In order to refine the Innate Stone Spirit Heart, one must rely on the freezing power of the Billion Years Ice Soul. Otherwise, the power essence of the Innate Stone Spirit Heart would be swept out and immediately return to heaven and earth, and Zhang Qian would get nothing. However, with the freezing power of the Billion Years Ice Soul, it would be different. Under this extremely cold freezing, even the power essence of the Innate Stone Spirit Heart would be frozen, and would not directly return to heaven and earth.

Sensing in his mind that the freezing was complete, Zhang Qian did not delay and directly began to use the method of the Heavenly Dao Jade Body to refine the innate stone spirit heart.

The heart of the innate stone spirit contains most of the power essence of an innate stone spirit's body. It is an extremely precious treasure. Most of the power essence of the innate stone spirit who specializes in physical cultivation is hidden in this heart. It is impossible for ordinary people to absorb and refine such a magnificent power, but with the method of the Heavenly Dao Jade Body, it is different. Zhang Qian has complete confidence that he can completely absorb the power of the innate stone spirit heart and make it his own power.

It can be said that once the Heavenly Jade Body is refined, he will undergo a complete transformation and earth-shaking changes will occur.

Click, click, click...!
As time passed, a chaotic sphere appeared outside the innate stone spirit heart that was wrapped in billions of five-pointed dust particles. The sphere seemed real and unreal, wrapping the innate stone spirit heart, and then bursting out with a strange Taoism and power.

This kind of power was unprecedented, and as soon as the sphere appeared, Zhang Qian felt that all his strength was absorbed by the sphere, and billions of dust particles were no exception, all entered the chaotic sphere.

The next moment, an inconspicuous chaotic light bloomed from the inside of the sphere. The light shone onto the Innate Stone Spirit Heart, and the indestructible Innate Stone Spirit Heart began to melt incredibly.

Just like melting ice, in a short while, the entire innate stone spirit heart turned into a ball of dazzling liquid with terrifying power fluctuations.

hum!
Following the instinctive attraction, Zhang Qian's billions of tiny particles instantly merged into this essence of power.

"Well……!"

Zhang Qian's soul couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction. At the moment of fusion, not only did all the power that had been absorbed before come back, but he also felt that his billions of tiny particles were leaping up at a terrifying speed!

Driven by the power essence of the innate stone spirit heart, each and every speck of dust underwent earth-shaking changes. The originally crystal clear and bright dust particles, like pieces of crystal, instantly exuded an aura of immortal perfection. Even with the leap of billions of dust particles, Zhang Qian's comprehension of the immortal Tao was also growing rapidly.

All kinds of insights about immortality came to his mind, and he suddenly realized them like an epiphany.

Driven by this force, not to mention the improvement of billions of dust particles, his cultivation realm was also rapidly breaking through. Almost in an instant, his cultivation broke through to the realm of great perfection of Yan Dao.

This is far from the point. Along with a roar from deep within his mind, the barrier to the state of enlightenment was shattered.

That’s not all. In a short moment, Zhang Qian’s cultivation level soared from the early stage to the middle stage. An hour later, he reached the late stage.

hum!
A faint humming sound was heard, and Zhang Qian’s cultivation had reached the state of great perfection in enlightenment, reaching the critical point of becoming an immortal god!

This is the power of all kinds of rare treasures, or more precisely, the power of the heart of the innate stone spirit. It contains most of the power essence of this innate stone spirit. How terrifying it is.

This is after 99% of the essence of power was used to improve the realm of the physical body and leap forward to billions of dust particles. Otherwise, Zhang Qian's cultivation realm would have been even more exaggerated.
