Zhou Yuan sat in the black hole’s depths with his eyes tightly closed as vast and mighty ancestral qi were drawn out from the nine main veins. It poured over him with tremendous force. 

Even Jia Tu might not be able to withstand the impact of such powerful ancestral qi.

However, Zhou Yuan seemed to not care. He didn’t circulate his Genesis Qi, allowing the ancestral qi torrent to cleanse him. 

Circles of Saint glass light emerged around his body.

Saint Glass Body!    

Zhou Yuan’s most powerful means wasn’t his Genesis Qi or Spirit cultivation, but his Saint Glass Body…which was comparable in strength to the Nascent Source stage. In other words, he had surpassed the Heavenly Sun stage. 

When he looked back at his previous battles, they were like children playing.

Boom!  

The torrent battered Zhou Yuan’s body, but he remained motionless and swallowed all the ancestral qi into his body like a whirlpool. 

Ancestral qi roamed along his meridians.

The ancestral qi charged everywhere like a violent bull. If Zhou Yuan hadn’t refined the Saint Glass Body, the ancestral qi’s tremendous power could have seriously damaged his meridians. Fortunately, his meridians were ten times stronger, tougher and more spacious than before.

Therefore, after going round his body twice through his tough meridians, the unruly ancestral qi lost its berserk nature and obediently flowed into his Divine Dwellings.

Three Heavenly Suns were quietly suspended in his Divine Dwellings.   

As ancestral qi endlessly filled the three Heavenly Suns, the dragon runes on them extended.

The speed wasn’t particularly fast, but Zhou Yuan waited patiently because their enemies had retreated, so they had time to enjoy their harvest from the battle.

As the person with the most credit in the battle, Zhou Yuan naturally had the greatest benefit. And anyone with some intelligence wouldn’t dare to object.

…

Time flew by as ancestral qi descended endlessly.

One month passed in the blink of an eye, and throughout it, the atmosphere around the five heavens’ army buzzed like never before.

This was because someone made a breakthrough and reached the Nascent Source stage almost every day!

Of course, the majority who had advanced had been stuck at the advanced Heavenly Sun stage and had been waiting for such an opportunity for years. The ancestral qi torrent provided them with the most perfect opportunity.

Such large-scale breakthroughs to the Nascent Source stage were extremely rare spectacles, so it was still a feast for the eyes for those who weren’t as successful.

While watching several Nascent Source experts emerge, they curiously counted the number of people who broke through.

The Nascent Source stage was the harmonious integration of yin and yang within the Heavenly Suns. It gave birth to Genesis Qi Nascent Source from the accumulation of pure Genesis Qi. 

Once one’s Nascent Source formed, one’s inside and outside world would connect, and the power of one’s Genesis arts would soar tremendously.

The Nascent Source stage was divided into the initial Nascent Source, advanced Nascent Source and perfect Nascent Source stages. 

A Nascent Source less than five inches in size was ranked an initial Nascent Source. 

A Nascent Source over five inches and less than eight inches was ranked an advanced Nascent Source, and eight inches and over was ranked the perfect Nascent Source stage.    

Those who had cultivated a Nascent Source to nine inches were all top figures of the world. But nine inches wasn’t the limit.   

According to ancient records, the Nascent Source stage’s limit was 9.9 inches.

Someone had found that all the illustrious Saint experts in the past had cultivated their Nascent Sources to over 9.5 inches. Thus, there was an unwritten rule that anyone who could cultivate a Nascent Source to over 9.5 inches had the potential of becoming a Saint expert.

Of course, the Saint stage was too illusory. Although some believed in this, there were many who didn’t.

This was because not only an accumulation of experience was required to set foot on the Saint stage, but also blessing and luck.

After all, it was the pinnacle of existence in the entire world.

However, a nine-inch Nascent Source was too distant to the five heavens’ troops because they found that almost 90% of the people who had broken through to the Nascent Source stage only refined a Nascent Source of less than one inch. 

Only a handful of people broke past one inch.

The seemingly slight difference in size represented a world of difference, but they weren’t disappointed because the real influential people were yet to perform.

With this thought, they shifted their gazes toward Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong, Su Youwei and the others, and then, they simultaneously turned to the black hole’s depths. There, the ancestral qi pulsed frantically, and dragon roars reverberated.

They were most curious about what commander Zhou Yuan, who had created miracle after miracle, would achieve when he stepped into the Nascent Source stage.

They didn’t need to wait long.  

Ten days later, the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth surged again.

Six mighty waves of Genesis Qi erupted almost at the same time, stirring up Genesis Qi hurricanes.

Countless astonished eyes were cast toward them. Such movements were greater than any previous breakthrough.

“Bai Xiaolu and the others are going to break through!” voices full of anticipation rang out.

Boom!   

Six thousand-foot-tall pillars of Genesis Qi shot into the sky, each displaying strange spectacles. After a while, the pillars began to shrink.

Everyone followed the light pillars as they shrank and saw six figures hovering in the sky. They were Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong and the others.

Their eyes were tightly closed as the giant Genesis Qi pillars constantly shrank and eventually sank into their skulls.

Powerful Genesis Qi pressure swept across the area, making everyone feel suffocating oppression, and even those who had just broken through to the Nascent Source stage had to focus their minds to endure the pressure. 

Bai Xiaolu and the others finally drew the Genesis Qi pillars into their bodies.

The tops of their skulls suddenly lit up, and six Nascent Sources jumped out and sat above their heads. 

Each Nascent Source looked identical to its owner, and they were all crystal-clear and radiated spiritual luster. Their bodies seemed illusory, and as the Nascent Sources sat there silently, they seemed to fuse with the world. Moreover, they could stir the vast Genesis Qi between heaven and earth with a slight movement.

Countless eyes were curiously fixed on the six Nascent Sources.

Then, exclamations rang out one after another.    

Guan Qinglong, 2.8 inches.  

Chu Qing, 2.9 inches.   

Bai Xiaolu, 3 inches.   

Su Youwei, 3.5 inches.  

Wu Yao, 3.6 inches. 

Zhao Mushen, 4 inches.
