Chapter 145: Meeting Meng... Martial Uncle, and Finally Obtaining the Overlord Meridian!
The next day, as the first rays of dawn broke, a faint cracking sound seemed to emanate from within Meng Changqing’s body.
At the same time, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly spread out.
Unlike the usual pressure from cultivation, this pressure seemed to act on the spirit itself, even affecting the physical world!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Numerous cracks appeared in the ground, beams and pillars shook, and small stones fell from the walls.
At a certain moment, Meng Changqing abruptly opened his eyes.
His eyes seemed to flicker with divine light, piercing through the void!
They were like two bright lamps, shining brilliantly!
“Divine Attainment Realm!” Meng Changqing slowly stood up, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He had finally succeeded.
Even with his deep foundation, it had taken considerable effort. That innate barrier was too resilient, difficult to penetrate.
“No wonder many Dao Creation Realm warriors get stuck at this point,” Meng Changqing couldn’t help but think.
Just finding the Sea of Consciousness took a lot of time, and then one had to find a way to break that barrier.
The combined time required was truly hard to estimate.
Many people, because of this, spend their entire lives without breaking through.
“If what the ancient books say is true, that humans were originally innate spirits, with all their hidden powers fully awakened from birth, how strong would they be?
“Unfortunately, they later encountered a calamity, causing their hidden powers to be sealed.”
Meng Changqing had initially been skeptical of the records in the ancient books.
But as he progressed step by step in his cultivation, each major breakthrough indeed felt like he was breaking a seal and regaining power.
Shaking his head slightly, Meng Changqing decided not to dwell on it. After all, there was no concrete evidence to support this.
He closed his eyes and shifted his vision to his Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, the innate barrier had disappeared. The vast Sea of Consciousness appeared before him, boundless and seemingly endless. However, as far as he could see, the Sea of Consciousness seemed to be frozen, completely motionless.
“According to the headmaster, one needs to continuously comprehend the secrets of the Sea of Consciousness to melt the ice and absorb the soul power within.”
Meng Changqing’s consciousness, vague and almost translucent, was now sitting cross-legged in the center of the Sea of Consciousness.
Below him, the once-frozen Sea of Consciousness had started to melt slightly.
It was visibly clear that the melted water was continuously flowing into Meng Changqing’s consciousness, making his form gradually more solid.
He naturally didn’t want to call him Martial Uncle either.
But being a direct disciple of the headmaster, this relationship took precedence over the title of Young Sect Master.
“We aren’t that far apart in age. How about we just consider ourselves friends in private?” Meng Changqing pressed on.
After all, given his current status, Han Luoyu had little choice but to agree.
“How can that be proper?” Han Luoyu quickly said, “If the headmaster finds out, he’ll say I don’t understand the rules.”
“It’s fine. If the headmaster says anything, you can just blame it on me.” Meng Changqing patted Han Luoyu’s shoulder. “Or do you actually reject me in your heart and don’t want to be my friend?”
Hearing this, Han Luoyu’s pupils contracted slightly.
“Young Sect Master, you’re overthinking it. How could I have such thoughts?
“I already accepted you in the martial competition.”
“Then it’s settled. We’ll be friends in private!” Meng Changqing’s face immediately broke into a smile.
Having a high status made it easy to make friends. Even prodigies and top-tier geniuses could be easily won over! There was no need for elaborate schemes!
“Then I’ll follow your lead.” Han Luoyu felt somewhat helpless.
How could there be someone who forces others to be their friend?
What a strange hobby.
Ding!
【Successfully added Han Luoyu as a friend!】
【Current favorability: one star!】
【Attribute pending selection.】
The system’s voice echoed in his mind. Unfortunately, there was no additional reward this time. But that didn’t matter.
Getting the 【Overlord Meridian】 was already great.
Thinking of this, Meng Changqing felt very pleased.
He hadn’t expected to gain such an unexpected benefit from this visit.
“Are you also here to see the headmaster?” Returning to his senses, Meng Changqing asked.
“Yes, but you go first, Young Sect Master. I’m not in a hurry.”
Although they agreed to consider each other friends, Han Luoyu still maintained a respectful demeanor.
Besides the difference in their status, as he had mentioned earlier, the martial competition had made him deeply admire Meng Changqing.
“Alright.” Meng Changqing nodded.
