"The fourth layer...... Breakthrough?"

Populus euphratica muttered to himself a little dazedly, feeling too unbelievable.

I haven't even finished reciting all the mantras, but I've already succeeded in cultivating?

He looked at his watch and saw that less than three minutes had passed.

At one point, he suspected that his watch was wrong. I checked it, but I found that there was nothing wrong.

If it weren't for the illusion, he had indeed raised the Jiuyang Open Heaven Technique to a level in just over two minutes. He couldn't believe it was true. But every side is showing that this is indeed true.

"Maybe it's a hallucination...... Forget it, don't care, continue to cultivate. Hu Yang silently muttered to himself.

He took a deep breath, abandoned distracting thoughts, and continued to cultivate the Nine Yang Open Heaven Technique.

As a result, the fifth layer was easily broken through.

It took about three minutes to break through the fifth layer.

"Strange thing...... It's weird......"

Hu Yang muttered silently and continued to bury his head in cultivation.

Even if it's an illusion, the feeling of constantly breaking through is very good, and he is reluctant to interrupt.

Sure enough, not long after, he easily continued to break through.

It took about four minutes to break through the sixth layer.

It took about five minutes to break through the seventh layer.

It took about six minutes to break through the eighth layer.

It took about eight minutes to break through the ninth floor.

It took about ten minutes to break through the tenth floor.

It took about twelve minutes to break through the eleventh layer.

When Hu Yang wanted to continue cultivating, he found that the hourglass had stopped rotating.

Without the rotation of the hourglass, Populus euphratica would not be able to cultivate the twelfth layer at all.

"What's going on?" Poplar secretly wondered.

Now he was pretty much sure that the hourglass was very, very magical.

It can greatly shorten the time for breakthroughs in martial arts, and compress the boring and long cultivation process to minutes.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to cultivate the "Nine Yang Open Heaven Technique" to the eleventh layer, without three or four hundred years. Even a genius of geniuses takes at least thirty or forty years.

However, he cultivated from the third layer to the eleventh layer, and he had improved by eight levels, but it only took him less than fifty minutes. What kind of speed is this? Populus euphratica itself is not easy to calculate. He felt that this was probably what walking felt like compared to the speed of light.

That's right, the cultivation speed just now is completely comparable to the speed of light!

The only regret is that after raising eight levels, there is no way to continue to improve.

"Is it because of the restriction of the Star Soul?" Hu Yang secretly speculated.

The level of the exercise skill cannot be too much higher than the level of the star soul, which is the common sense of the starry sky world.

Generally speaking, there is no problem with the level of the exercise skill that is about three levels higher than the level of the star soul. However, it is difficult to continue upward. The level of martial arts exercises, which exceeds the level of the star soul level by six levels, is very rare.

Like him Hu Yang, the star soul level is only level five, and all the exercises and skills can only be cultivated to about the eighth layer at most.

It's not that you can't continue to cultivate upward, but the time and energy invested is no longer cost-effective.

For any cultivator, if the Star Soul level is too low, it is a fatal flaw.

However, the level of the star soul has nothing to do with the various exercises of cultivation, and it cannot be used to help improve through the guò exercises.

The evolution of the star soul is related to the frequency of use. The more you use it, the faster the Star Soul will level up. Conversely, the less you use, the slower the Star Soul will level up.

Of course, there is not only one frequency of use that drives the evolution of the Star Soul. There are other factors that are not so easy to describe. For example, experience or something. Star Soul can gain more experience in certain special states. For example, a long battle or an adversity battle can promote the Star Soul to level up faster.

"Fortunately, there are other exercises that can be cultivated!" Hu Yang quickly became optimistic again.

Being able to break through to the eleventh layer is already greatly beyond his expectations, and the requirements can't be too much.

He took a soft breath and began to cultivate the Nine Heavens and Stars.

The hourglass in my mind spun again, emitting a brilliant colorful light.

Nine Heavens and Stars, a breakthrough that destroys withering and decaying.

The breakthrough time of the fourth layer is also about two minutes.

The breakthrough time of the fifth layer is about three minutes.

The breakthrough time of the sixth layer is about four minutes.

The breakthrough time of the seventh layer is about five minutes.

The breakthrough time of the eighth layer is about six minutes.

The breakthrough time of the ninth layer is about eight minutes.

The breakthrough time of the tenth layer is about ten minutes.

The breakthrough time of the eleventh layer is about 12 minutes.

At this point, the hourglass slowly stopped turning. Obviously, it was impossible to continue cultivating.

Both exercises came to an abrupt end in front of the twelfth layer and could not be continued, making Hu Yang believe that the ability of the hourglass was actually limited. The general big rules, it still can't be broken.

This restriction is his Star Soul level. Unless his star soul level is raised, all exercises will have a chance to break through the twelfth layer. Otherwise, the exercises will have to be held in place on the eleventh layer. But here's where the hell happens. This magical hourglass can only quickly raise the level of various exercises, but it can't quickly raise the level of the star soul.

In other words, the improvement of the level of the star soul still depends on his Hu Yang's own hard work, and there is no possibility of flattery.

However, simply because of the rapid improvement of various exercises, Populus euphratica was instantly reborn, and its combat effectiveness soared. Purely from the perspective of Yuan Energy supply, he is no longer a rookie. He went from being a poor boy to a super rich man with a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars. What he has in his hands is money, and it's up to him to squander it.

The Nine Heavens Star Jue was cultivated to the eleventh layer, and the power of the stars absorbed was thousands of times the original value. And when the Jiuyang Open Heaven Technique was cultivated to the eleventh layer, the conversion rate of the power of the stars was also thousands of times higher than the original value. Compared with the previous third layer, both of them have been improved by more than a thousand times. Multiplying the two, the star soul of Populus euphratica can obtain more than 40,000 times the original amount of Yuan Energy.

"Rub, I'm not wrong, right? More than 40,000 times? Is it so exaggerated?" Hu Yang couldn't believe his calculations.

Such an outrageous number jù, it's so terrifying, I'm afraid no one will believe it when you say it, right?

What the hell is this hourglass? So amazing?

It's a pity that he can't see any valuable clues on the hourglass.

Including the call of the woman before, it is gone.

He hurriedly checked his body.

Sure enough, his star soul seemed to be boiling water.

The endless flow of Yuan Energy, like a flood without embankment, is scurrying around.

They desperately expanded towards the large and small meridians in Populus euphratica's body, filling his meridians to the brim, and each meridian had an obvious feeling of swelling and cracking, as if it would collapse at any time.

Before, Hu Yang's star soul qualification was too poor, the level was too low, and the Yuan Energy that could be supplied was insufficient, and all the meridians that guided him were empty. When you want to run the Yuan Energy, you have to transfer it from the Star Soul, which is time-consuming and laborious. However, now, all of his meridians are full of Yuan Energy, which can be mobilized in any place and from any angle.

Due to the fact that the yuan energy is too much and too full, and the gushing is continuous, the meridians that guide the poplar are always in a state of extreme expansion and stretching, as if there is a danger of explosion at any time.

Fortunately, the star soul is widely stored in every cell of the human body. Each cell is a storage chamber capable of holding a large amount of metaenergetic energy. And the human body has tens of trillions of cells, which is equivalent to tens of trillions of storage rooms. They are interconnected and form a vast ocean of energy. Otherwise, if you simply rely on the various meridians to store the Yuan Energy, you would have burst a long time ago.

Of course, for the sake of safety, it is necessary to greatly improve the strength of your body in the future to prevent the explosion of Yuan Energy.

It just so happened that Hu Yang now has a practice called "Ten Thousand Splitting Demon Gong", which is specially designed to strengthen the body of cultivators, and the effect is not bad.

The only characteristic of this exercise is that when it is cultivated, it is quite painful. It was as if the body was being torn apart. The more you cultivate to the top, the more pronounced and unbearable the pain becomes.

Why do there be such side effects? The fundamental reason is that this exercise comes from non-human beings. To be exact, from a powerful race of monsters. Their ability to endure pain is very perverted, and they can endure the past even if their bodies are constantly torn. And the patience of human beings is not so perverted.

Populus euphratica also endured all kinds of pain that ordinary people could not endure before it was promoted to the third level.

Now, he wants to elevate this practice to the eleventh level.
