Chapter 61: Breaking Through the Earth Pass (1)
Translator: 549690339
The dantian was like a chicken egg, but it was filled with filth. Only by breaking through and cleaning up this filth and tempering the dantian egg could one use the dantian.
At this moment, the breakthrough point had transformed into another strange power. This power could effectively eliminate the filth in the lower dantian and temper the lower dantian in all directions.
The path leading to the lower dantian was also filled with filth. This filth also needed to be cleaned up. Only by cleaning up this filth could the filth in the dantian be cleaned up.
This was also the bottleneck to the Earth Pass Realm!
When clearing this passage, the slightest carelessness could cause the earth’s inner Qi to be contaminated by the foul air, causing the martial artist to go berserk. Therefore, the bottleneck of the Earth Pass Realm was not so easy to break through.
Fortunately, Zhu Wuan had the help of a large number of breakthrough points. The strange power that these breakthrough points turned into could easily dispel the foul air. As long as Zhu Wuan pushed these strange forces in front and the Inner Qi of the earth assisted from behind, he could easily break through the layers of shackles and charge towards the Earth Pass Realm.
Zhu Wuwan broke through with a bitter expression. A large number of breakthrough points were forcefully poured in, turning into a surging strange power that drove Zhu Wuwan’s strength to continuously rise.
This path that led to the lower dantian was opened at an extremely fast speed, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary martial artists.
When the filthy Qi was dispelled, the impurities in Zhu Wuwan’s body were also cleared out, allowing Zhu Wuwan’s body to undergo a small change in the marrow.
Although the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing this time was not as good as the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing during the Blood Transfusion Refinement, this was only a side benefit. Zhu Wuwan was already quite satisfied with this.
However, Zhu Wuwan did not know that although his Muscle Tendon
Changing and Marrow Cleansing could not catch up with the Blood
Transfusion Refinement, it could still catch up with the Muscle Tendon
Changing and Marrow Cleansing of an ordinary martial artist during the Blood Transfusion Refinement. In fact, it even far exceeded it. As a result, Zhu Wuwan’s talent and aptitude had undoubtedly become stronger.
The Heaven Pass was like ascending to the sky, and the Earth Pass was like climbing a mountain. Moreover, they were not climbing ordinary mountains, but those dangerous peaks. If they were not careful, what awaited the martial artist was the danger of falling.
Once one fell down from the dangerous peak, one’s Internal Qi would be destroyed and their strength would decrease drastically. In serious cases, one would go berserk and die directly. From this, one could see how difficult the Earth Pass was.
If not for that, it wouldn’t be called Earth Pass.
Even with the help of the breakthrough point, Zhu Wuwan still spent nearly four hours before he rushed to the end of the road and sent the first wisp of Earth Internal Qi into the lower dantian, which was filled with foul Qi.
At this moment, Zhu Wuwan still had not broken through. Next, he needed to use the inner Qi of the earth to open up a safe place in his lower dantian so that the inner Qi ot the earth could enter and exit freely. Only then could he be considered to have advanced to the early stage of the Earth Gate Realm.
However, compared to the filthy Qi in the passageway, there was even more filthy Qi in the lower dantian. It was like a river and a sea, surging toward the Inner Qi of the earth. If one was not careful, the Inner Qi of the earth would be contaminated and cause serious damage to Zhu Wuwan.
If he could not cut off his tail in time to survive, all the Internal Qi in the martial artist’s body would be contaminated. At that time, he could only waste his Internal Qi, and he had to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the filthy Qi would pollute the entire body of the martial artist.
The lower dantian was far more dangerous than the passageway.
Even with the strange power formed by the breakthrough point in front of him, the inner Qi of the earth only needed to eliminate some of the fish that escaped the net. However, it was still dangerous. Zhu Wuwan found it difficult to charge forward.
This made Zhu Wanhao clearly feel how terrifying the Earth Pass Realm was. Even with the help of a breakthrough point, it was so difficult for him to break through, let alone those martial artists who did not have the help of a breakthrough point.
No wonder the martial arts world said that only one in ten thousand could reach the Earth Pass Realm, and only one in ten thousand could reach the Heaven Pass Realm. This meant that out of ten thousand martial artists who tried to reach the Earth Pass Realm, not even one could succeed.
Therefore, as long as one could step into the Earth Pass Realm, there was a high chance that a martial artist would be able to overcome the shackles and step into the Foundation Meridian Stage.
It was as dangerous as a pile of eggs, swaying in the wind and rain.
This was what Zhu Wuwan felt. The Inner Qi of the earth was like a candle in the darkness in the lower dantian that was filled with filth. It could be swallowed by the darkness at any time, causing the entire lower dantian to sink into filth again.
The foul air from all directions was like a hurricane, roaring and trying to extinguish the candle flame formed by the Internal Qi of the earth. Fortunately, there was a strange power formed by the breakthrough point to protect it and eliminate the foul air at the same time. This allowed the seemingly swaying candle flame to persist and not extinguish.
The candle flame stubbornly extinguished the strands of filth that leaked out. It grew larger and brighter, gradually stabilizing an area, so that there was no filth raging in this area.
After an unknown period of time, when this area had completely stabilized and was filled with increasingly pure and vigorous Earth Internal Qi, it also meant that Zhu Wuwan’s strength had finally broken through the Earth Pass and advanced to a new realm.
Earth Pass Realm!
Although he had only advanced to the early-stage of the Earth Gate Realm, and only a small area in his lower dantian had been opened up and nourished, the amount of Inner Qi stored in this small area was already comparable to the amount of Inner Qi in Zhu Wanhao’s meridians.
The lower dantian, which had been tempered by inner Qi, was in between reality and illusion. It could store a large amount of inner Qi. As an extraordinary power, inner Qi was also in between reality and illusion.
The seemingly small Lower Dantian had actually stored a foot of Earth Inner Qi, forming a mist of Inner Qi that resisted the corrosion and attack of the surrounding filthy Qi.
In the process of resisting the foul air, the Internal Qi of the earth was also tempered and hammered, becoming purer and stronger.
At this moment, even though Zhu Wanhao had advanced to the Earth Gate Realm, she still hadn’t completely broken through the Earth Gate. After all, there was still so much filthy Qi in her lower dantian that she needed more time and energy to clean it up.
Only by eliminating all the filth in his lower dantian could he be considered to have broken through the Earth Gate and begin to prepare for the next stage of cultivation.
However, with the speed at which Zhu Wuyang was gaining breakthrough points, it shouldn’t take long for him to completely break through the Earth Gate and prepare for the higher stages.
Therefore, after absorbing all the breakthrough points and stabilizing his strength in the early stage of the Earth Gate Realm, Zhu Wuwan went to the study room to look for a suitable Foundation Vein cultivation technique.
The Limitless Earth Technique was only a Foundation Establishment Divine Technique at the Body Tempering Stage. It did not have a cultivation method at the Vein Casting Stage. Therefore, Zhu Wuwan still needed to find a cultivation technique suitable for the Vein Casting Stage to forge the strongest spirit meridians..
