Chapter 501 - Ying Shaotian
The seventh meridian was the Earth Yang meridian. Long Chen slowly directed his Qi to his Earth Yang meridian. The eighteen starry rivers in his body provided a lot of Qi, but because of how violent it was, Long Chen needed a large amount of Heavenly Passage Pills to stabilize it. Otherwise, he would destroy his meridians.
The strength of 350,000 Heavenly Passage Pills was not to be trifled with!
The seventh meridian point was dangerous to carve open, but thanks to Long Chen’s careful control, he did it successfully. Thanks to the effect of the Heavenly Passage Pills, the Earthly Yang meridian slowly formed in his head. It was not large, but it contained a fiery energy. The core formed inside of it also resembled a ball of fire.
Long Chen assumed the eighth meridian, the Earth Yin meridian, would resemble a ball of cold wind.
As for the last meridian, even he did not know where it would form. The heavenly meridian point was the center of all the meridian points, and its location differed from person to person. It could be said that it was the core of the cultivator. Long Chen would only learn its location once he reached the Eighth Passage Stage.
It took almost ten times longer for him to finish carving the Earth Yang meridian. When he was done, the sky was already bright. He pushed open the door and saw that his vision had changed.
Clear. The clarity was unparalleled. His vision, hearing, scent, and even taste had been elevated to a clarity he never imagined he could experience. He could see the small ditches on a mountain and he could hear many people talking in the Clear Shallows Pavillion. This was the effect of carving out the Earth Yang meridian. Since both the Earth Yang and Earth Yin meridian were situated in his head, not only had they increased his strength, they had also enhanced his five senses.
It was an evolution.
Long Chen estimated that he could defeat an average Eighth Passage Stage cultivator. If he fought Liu Yiyi again, he was confident he would be able to block not only her two advanced Heaven-tier martial techniques, but also her King-tier Demonic Illusion.
There’s still a month left. I didn't know that I would hit my goal so fast. I don’t think anyone had ever advanced from the First Passage Stage to the Seventh Passage Stage in just a few days.
Long Chen was impressed with his talent.
Though he knew where it came from—his talent originated from the hundredth of the Inherited Blood Essence that increased his body’s resistance. Without it, Long Chen’s continued usage of Blood Transmutation would’ve destroyed him by now.
I have one more month, but most of my Qi came from outside sources, meaning my basics are still shaky. Rather than advancing to the next stage, I should consolidate my Qi. Also, it might be difficult to advance into the Eighth Passage Stage. I will need at least a million Heavenly Passage Pills for that, but I only have 150,000 left. While I might be able to obtain more from the Clear Shallows King, I doubt I’ll be able to find a Category Nine Heaven-tier beast ...
She noticed that Long Chen’s Qi felt different from last time. He has gotten stronger! She quickly gestured for him to come closer, and the Clear Shallows King took a look at Long Chen before glaring at the angry Red Ghost King.
Long Chen was staring at the Red Ghost King as well as the man behind him. The Red Ghost King was easily recognizable by his red skin. Just as Huangfu Qi had said, he looked like a red toad. Compared to the man behind him, he indeed looked exactly like an ugly toad.
The man behind the Red Ghost King was tall and regal. He wore a black and white robe and his eyes were like a constellation. His lips were thin, his nose was tall, and his fingers were long yet strong. He was a beautiful man, and he had surely seduced a lot of girls in the Ancient Demon Domain.
But Long Chen also looked good. His body was exuding strength, and the innocent look he had in the past had been replaced by an authoritative and regal look. He was also radiating the murderous aura coming from the Inherited Blood Essence.
Long Chen looked like he was born for massacre.
That was all because of the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon.
“That man is Ying Shaotian, the only Eighth Passage Stage cultivator in the Red Ghost Pavilion. He’s ranked third among the disciples of the Seven Demon Kings ...” Liu Yiyi whispered to Long Chen.
She was wary and repulsed by Ying Shaotian. There was even a hint of hatred in her eyes.
There’s no reason for her to hate him if he’s a good guy. That means that he’s an asshole too.
Long Chen had noticed that Ying Shaotian had given Liu Yiyi a faint smile before he looked at the Clear Shallows King.
The Red Ghost King’s face was red to begin with, but now it was even redder. He had taken note of how Long Chen had rudely ran past him without saying anything, and he was fuming because Long Chen had killed his favorite disciple. His anger burst forth and he slowly approached Long Chen. “You brat! How dare you kill my beloved disciple?! I will tear you apart!”
The Qi of an Earthly Martial Realm master radiated from his body and almost flattened Long Chen.
But Long Chen did not move, because he knew that the Clear Shallows King would protect him and would never allow the Red Ghost King to go crazy here.
