Chapter 34: Opening of the meridians

Location of training-

Long Tao found out that the crimson lord world was absorbing the energy present in the royal forbidden zone. The Keeper informed him that the energy could help in mending the crimson lord world's dimension.

Long Tao didn't understand at first, but he realized that the current crimson lord world or the treasure in which it resides was damaged or not complete.

It was because of a battle that the previous master. It requires various kinds of natural resources and energies to rebuild and restructure itself.

.......

The Keeper said that the treasure would independently roam in this dimension while absorbing the energy, and the function will continue to exist in Long Tao's body.

If it found something, it will alert Long Tao. So he could stay and concentrate on training. Long Tao was going to get a surprise when he ends the practice here and goes out.

Long Tao inquired that it would not be efficient if he trained inside the crimson lord world while it was absorbing the energy of this forbidden ground. It would enable him to have twice the training time. But the Keeper said it would not be ideal because the Qi absorbed would be directly implanted into the world treasure, and nothing will be present for him to cultivate in.

...........................

The treasure left Long Tao's body and vanished. He sat and started immersing himself in training.

Long Tao's training in the hellspawn sutra has gone to a great extent, managing to push him to the 7th level. It had 12 stages, and Long Tao was long away from completing it.

His training was relatively slow, not because of the many arts he practiced but because of the 12 forges of death that he continued to practice even after reaching the Qi child realm.

Long Tao's instincts indicated that this path was the best. It was something that was going to shock the whole world in the future.

What Long Tao wanted to do now was to cultivate and open all his primary meridians with the help of the mixture energy-containing hell's Qi, Heaven's Qi, Crimson lord world Qi as well as Qi from the Forbidden Land.

...................................

The mixture of various energies took quite a high toll on him. It was the first time his body was exposed to such a dense combination of pure energies together. It took Long Tao a whole day to get acquainted.

After he got acquainted, he began to circulate and break through the 6th primary meridians. The continuous barging and clashing with the barrier continued on and on.

The avatars who were currently in the Crimson lord world were trying to understand the techniques, and trying to break through the 2nd level formation master. Only then will he be able to understand the first formation given to connect and gather the hell's Qi from the hell world.

................................

Long Mengchen, on the other hand, was concentrating on her Qi cultivation. She was out here to train and cultivate while gaining experience for the first time.

She would be able to return to the clan once she is a Qi master realm practitioner. She wanted to break through the Qi master realm as soon as possible.

Only then will she be able to defeat Long Tao and bring him back to her family here. She started to absorb the Qi in the ancient world, trying to awaken her bloodline for the first time.

The talent of the individuals in the clans would be seen as to how many times they could awaken their bloodline limits. Each awakening gave a new set of restrictions and techniques to them.

Long Tao's words still rang in her ears, "You are not the only one with a bloodline limit. Come battle me when you manage to awaken the bloodline properly."

Long Mengchen knew that Long Tao had awakened his bloodline. She couldn't lag behind him in terms of power.

Inside Long Mengchen's body, the blood was absorbing all the energies around and had started giving a strange mellow glow.

......................

Long Tao spattered blood on the ground. Finally, he managed to open the 6th primary meridian.

It was a big step in the body cultivation, and Long Tao assumed this has already improved his strength by 50%. It was the miracle experienced by those who managed to open the meridians of their body.

He had to concentrate on breaking through all the meridians. It was already five days. Even with the mixture of such powerful energies and the contemporary work of his seven avatars, he only managed to open a meridian after five days.

Only 25 days were left. He had to step up the process. He concentrated in circulation and searching for his 7th primary meridians.

....................

Finally, after an unknown amount of circulations, he managed to find the doorway to the 7th meridian. It took him three days to locate it, and he started the process of barging instantly. His aura spiked up, and the first clash was done. Long Tao face paled by the encounter.

The opening of each meridian was an arduous process in the cultivation of the body. One would require to barge through his own body to clear the blockage, and each clash took a significant toll on the body.

Generally, those who concentrated on the opening of the meridians would prepare instant Qi replenishers, healing medicine, and herbs, because if they wanted to train continuously, they would have to heal up first and then continue the process of barging.

But thanks to the Qi practice methods that Long Tao had practiced and was practicing, his body would heal up quite fast without any outside assistance. It was the reason Long Tao had the confidence to open the meridians before he steps into the Qi master realm.

He wanted to see what changes his body would have once he opened all the meridians. He continued the process on and on.

...........................................

In an unknown site of the forbidden land, a circular disc was currently lying embedded in the core of the area. It was continuously absorbing the energies around it.

Long Tao's avatar inside could feel a change in the Qi density and aura within the realm. It was growing more durable and more robust, just like the Keeper said. The artifact was trying to heal itself.

The cultivation realm of the silhouette was already in the Qi child 8th stage and continuing to grow. Unlike other martial arts cultivator, he had four additional layers to overcome before he would be able to step into the next realm.

Long Tao could not even start to assume the stacked-up power he possessed due to the many arts he was practicing.

.......................................

After around 15 days had passed in the forbidden world-

Long Tao was sitting within Crimson lord world in his cave when he felt the same type of ancient Qi in the forbidden zone, appearing here.

The Keeper reported that the possible mending was already done. Currently, the treasure was absorbing more and more ancient Qi from the world, which would help in the further cultivation of Long Tao.

..........................

Outside, Long Tao had already managed to open his 7th meridian and was already on his way to barge in the 8th meridian.

He wanted to break as soon as possible and start opening the acupoints in his body. The bodies began simultaneous cultivation. The barge was painful, but he persisted. For some reason, he began to have a feeling of rushing the process more and more.

On the 20th day-

'Crack," a big crush of bone could be heard. Long Tao managed to open the last primary meridian. The increase in body strength, Qi sensing, and power was far from what it was in the past.

Suddenly Long Tao's bodies, even the avatars, were paralyzed and were out of their control.

.......................

The puppet appeared beside him" What do you think of this situation?".

"I think after the opening of the primary meridians, his body is undergoing a morph. It is restructuring the inside. It is an incredible set of fortune for this guy. I don't know what sort of body he will acquire."

The process continued, but Long Tao was currently not conscious. His interiors, the runes on his bone and blood, all started glowing at the same time, and he was continuously absorbing the massive amount of Qi. It was as if his body was being forged into something very different.
