Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Body Chakra, Nine Meridians

If he paid close attention, he could see there were hundreds of charm runes floating around within his soul ocean whirlpool.

With Zong Shou’s mind controlling them, True Spiritual Charms formed one by one at the center of the soul ocean.

Normally every time he formed one, he would need to use up large amounts of time and energy.

However at this moment his mental state was unusually excited. Not only was he really focused, his spiritual energy seemed to be endless.

With just a thought, drawing in the air, he was able to form a True Spiritual Charm.

In the all out battle against Hu Qianqiu, under the pressure of that eight meridian Xuanwu Ancestor, all his life potential was released. His mental state was at its tip top fighting spirit throughout the whole process. All his thoughts were exceptionally clear.

If he cultivated energy now he would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. The first thing to benefit was his soul.

“The number of True Spiritual Charms are enough; today I can form True Spiritual Talismans!”

Talismans represented the laws of Heaven and Earth, while the charms represented the surface phenomenons of the laws.

When one had enough True Spiritual Charms, it meant that the number of true charms in their soul ocean was enough to support that law.

With Zong Shou’s will controlling them, those unrestrained and uncontrolled True Spiritual Charms charged down from all directions. All the True Spiritual Charms gathered at the middle of his soul ocean and continuously reorganized themselves.

In just a moment, he saw a silver white rune appearing within his soul ocean whirlpool. Threads of electrical currents spread out in four directions. In just a short while it covered his entire soul.

It also connected with the illusionary image of the Lightning Phoenix, looking even more vast and mighty.

The first True Spiritual Talisman Zong Shou chose was the LIGHTNING Word, not only because he had the Lightning Phoenix life mark, it was because this true talisman was the most powerful one out of all of the Runes.

Once he gathered this True Spiritual Talisman, arcs of electricity started to gather around his body

A sudden comprehension filled his heart, and he knew that in the future when he used lightning element spiritual techniques he not only could skip half the steps when chanting and making the hand signs, its strength would also double. Compared to other people who had formed lightning Word True Talismans, he was much stronger!

Next would be the explosive increase outwards of the soul ocean. All the spiritual energy within was actually provoked by the True Talisman and split in two, and then into four, and only when the area they covered doubled did they finally stop.

“How quick! It expanded by close double; the growth of soul power of a spirit master is as expected when they form True Spiritual Talismans!” Zong Shou’s eyes lit up and revealed some surprise.

When he cultivated in the past, even if he relied on the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion method to cultivate every day, he only managed to increase his soul power by 0.6 percent. Right now, he had actually doubled it.

True Spiritual Talismans were the source of one’s power, raising the quality of a person’s soul, and thus their effects were naturally different from normal cultivation.

Zong Shou was trying his best to also form up the Water Talismans.

However, when he drew out two more true charms, he felt a huge swelling pain in his head and his consciousness felt heavy.

“I’m at my max! As expected, there’s no such thing in this world as taking one step to reach Heaven!”

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate and stopped meditating, starting to exhale.

This World Shocking Spiritual Art’s cultivation was far easier than forming true charms. Swallowing and releasing spiritual energy of the Heaven and Earth, after a few cycles the true energy in his body started to boil.

He activated it to merge the World Shocking true energy with the surrounding spiritual energy; one water, one fire, like a spiral they rolled forwards in the meridians.

The remaining acupoints above the lungs were really soft and relaxed because of Zong Shou’s fist training these past weeks.

During the battle with Hu Qianqiu they totally opened up. Zong Shou didn’t need to expend much energy to open them up one by one.

All the power gathered up and like two thin needles, viciously stabbing into the external meridian!

Just as those obstacles were being drilled open, the Xiantian Essence energy within his body turned into fire and water true qi, merging into the Bodily Chakra Meridians.

Zong Shou borrowed this strength to take things a step further, uprooting all problems and breaking the acupoints of the external meridian one by one.

Nine Bodily Chakra Meridians; each had twenty-four acupoints and many small other points. Only this external meridian was different, it had forty-eight large meridians spread around the body. Due to his dual meridians, Zong Shou’s external meridian actually had ninety-six points!

Zong Shou used the golden needle acupoint testing method and relied on his knowledge of the human system in his last life, managing to find twenty-six points, which meant fifty-two acupoints. As for the remaining positions, he was unable to ascertain them.

The energy gathered around him only managed to charge open two dozen of them before slowly weakening. For each point that was opened, a bloody hole would appear on his body.

His body actually still had some hidden energy that needed more accumulation to be able to open a few more points. However Zong Shou knew when to stop, allowing the energy to rotate for a few more cycles to calm down his meridians. All the true qi returned back to his energy ocean as well as the acupoints around his body.

“As expected, fighting with experts and bringing out the life potential is the shortcut of cultivation. If it was normal times, even with the Lightning Phoenix Essence I would need close to two months to open up the external meridian. In just one jump, I saved four months of tough cultivation. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find opponents in this world; if I found an unsuitable person, fighting them would also be useless.”

Although the battle today wasn’t a life and death battle, but under the pressure given by Hu Qianqiu an eight meridian Xuanwu Ancestor whose martial path was deep, Zong Shou had huge benefits. Even more than the battle against hundred thousand blood killer Li Yaling.

Now this was just the preliminary gains; the remaining portion would slowly appear in the next month. Bringing out of one’s life potential would allow more Xiantian Essence energy to be absorbed by his body. His cultivation speed during these few months would also greatly increase, allowing him to easily step into the peak of the Bodily Chakra level.

“Nine meridians of the Bodily Chakra level. What is my power like now?”

With the thought rising up in his mind, a light seeped out from his fingertips, fire and water entangling and a crackle of lightning shining. This strike reached out close to twenty feet.

“Energy penetrating seventy feet! My World Shocking Spiritual Art and spiral true qi is more focused than normal martial arts, and even sharper. Using that as a calculation, its strength is around five thousand kilograms!”

Zong Shou felt slightly helpless; the acupoints on his body were twice that of a normal person.

Because of his grasp of the golden needle acupoint testing method, he could open them all up; other people they could only open ten or so acupoints of a chakra meridian.

In terms of strength or true qi energy storage, this was close to double that of normal martial cultivators!

As most of the true qi was used up internally, his strength was similar to normal nine meridian martial cultivators, or just a little higher. In terms of ability to continue, it was far from others.

This was also because he had been recently strengthening the spiral meridians. If it was before when he just entered seven meridians, he wouldn’t even be at eighty percent of a normal person.

Only in the future, when the spiral meridians totally took shape, would it change for the battle.

He didn’t hope to really have double the strength of others. However, dual meridians meant that the time he needed to cultivate was twice that of others. His cultivation time was also twice that of others. His strength and true qi storage amount should also be more than others to be logical, right?

Sighing slightly, Zong Shou closed his eyes. During the sword battle not long ago, not only did it ignite his potential, it was also a type of training for his sword technique.

Training his sword from the start was actually a good thing. He could reflect on himself and find out many points he was lacking in the past. There were even many places that could be modified, making his foundation even deeper.

Moreover, the intense battle against Hu Qianqiu revealed his sword arts’ many weaknesses, especially those last few swords which brought his basic martial path into a whole new world!

——

Just as Zong Shou’s carriage was travelling quickly towards the south of the Cloud Continent, at the place where Zong Shou and Hu Qianqiu had their intense battle…

Two thin people were standing tall at the peak of one of the hills. They appeared where Li Yaling had died.

Chou Ling folded his arms, on his repulsively ugly face was a look of impatience.

“Senior Brother Yun, what are you looking at? There are no signs at all…”

“There are no signs!”

That surnamed Yun teen nodded his head and looked into the distance. All he saw was just a flat land, some trees growing all around. Originally there wasn’t anything to pay attention to, however…

“The vast spiritual energy was so strong that even the Lianhai City Lord didn’t dare to come close. There were no signs, making it seem suspicious…”

“That is the theory!” Chou Ling laughed, not thinking much, “Since someone has already dealt with this area, it is useless to continue checking!”

The Yun-surnamed teen also smiled, not retorting, only saying expressionlessly, “I forgot to say that today there was news from Cloud Saint City. Teacher has already checked that the Xiantian expert near the City didn’t go close to Blood Valley that day. Also, that Gantian Mountain Prince also knew Gong Xinran at Lianhai College. In those two years, their relationship was quite close.”

Chou Ling’s eyes instantly lit up, revealing the look of a person in thought, “So that Gantian Mountain Prince is suspicious? Although he is a piece of trash, his father left many subordinates. That’s right, these last few days were a little weird. That Yunxia Mountain and Blazing Flame Mountain were originally prepared to gather their troops to surround and kill the Prince. But after yesterday, the people of the two powers were wiped clean in a night. Also that Zong Ling, who knows where he went. That Purple Lightning Spear Zong Yuan also disappeared without a trace, how weird. All the people could be excluded, all that remains is the Prince…”

The surnamed Yun teen came to a conclusion, his eyes revealing a cold light. “Today most of them are dead; whether or not it is him, we only need to kill this Prince to take revenge for Old Mi!”
