Chapter 38 Opening up the heavenly arteries (Part 2)
After reaching the Wudao seventh layer, the masters could a.s.sign away the Xuan qi, but the key was that they must make a connection with the most essential pa.s.sages of the whole body through which vital energy circulated – Heavenly arteries.
By opening the Heavenly arteries, one could control the whole body pa.s.sages through which vital energy circulated, they would open and close freely, hence the control of Xuan qi would be ten times more flexible than before.
Moreover, Heavenly arteries would have many more vital functions in the future martial arts realm, in fact it could be said that for martial cultivators, the importance of Heavenly arteries was not inferior to the Dantian!
“Heavenly arteries, open up!”
As Long Yu shouted severely, the Xuan qi began to surge in his whole body and started rushing towards the source of Heavenly arteries, and attacked them again and again, the motive was to make a connection and directly stride into the Wudao seventh layer.
The 30% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng was completely absorbed by him, making him feel that Wudao seventh layer was at hand.
However, within his entire body, the Heavenly arteries actually didn’t break through, creating a major barrier between him and the Wudao seventh layer.
“Nine hidden Dragon Mark, activate!”
At that time, ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark’ had stored up 70% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng, and when Long Yu began its absorption, it formed turbulent tides one after another continuously and went on attacking the Heavenly arteries.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Long Yu’s heart beats began to maintain the rhythm along with the Xuan qi which went on violently attacking the Heavenly arteries again and again.
Finally, when only 30% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng still remained to be absorbed, he noticed that the blockage in the Heavenly arteries finally opened up and these arteries were completely linked up under the successive impacts of Xuan qi.
Buzz!
Long Yu felt as if a miraculous glow had broken through his head, making him establish some kind of vague link with the entire world. Heavenly arteries were the essential pa.s.sages among the meridians through which the energy circulated, and only by relying on these Heavenly arteries, one would be able to feel the presence of the world laws and principles.
And Long Yu had already walked at this step.
“Zhentian mysterious mood, it seems as if there is a trend that leads to this breakthrough. Could it be that it’s because of the Heavenly arteries that strengthens the induction ability of world laws and principles?”
Long Yu thought, no wonder the core disciples were able to comprehend the mysterious mood of core law, because as the Wudao layer of the martial artists enhanced, the Heavenly arteries throughout the body opened up and were linked together, hence their sensibility of the world laws and principles would increase to another level.
Now, Long Yu’s Heavenly arteries finally opened up and it seemed like his comprehension of the Zhentian mysterious mood was about to break through to the Zhentian charm.
“Almost, I am only missing an opportunity then I can comprehend Zhentian charm that will strengthen the suppression world law!”
Long Yu’s eyes flashed with antic.i.p.ation then he jumped down from that old tree’s top of and landed heavily on the ground.
After the breakthrough to the Wudao seventh layer, the most direct change was the enhancement of the strength in his body. His basic strength of 32,000 Jin from Wudao sixth layer increased to the current strength of 64,000 Jin.
In addition to that, he had Demon tyrant form and ‘Nine hidden dragon mark’, granting him the fist strength of ** ten thousand Jin!
Of course, even after reaching Wudao seventh layer, Long Yu was still not very powerful. Since the last awakening of memories of the ‘Nine hidden dragon mark’, Long Yu knew that the true and major transformation in the martial strength occurred while stepping into the Wudao eighth layer.
“Warriors of Wudao eighth layer possess the strength of 120,000 Jin, although if I use the wandering soul glove, there will be enhancement in my strength, but the masters of Wudao eighth layer certainly possess a special strength, it will not be so easy to defeat them …… ”
Long Yu thought to himself, at his current strength, he should be able to give strong compet.i.tion to the master of Wudao eighth layer, but when actual battle experience was taken into consideration then they wouldn’t necessarily be his rivals.
However, if he could get deeper insight into the charm of Zhentian mysterious mood, then it would mean bigger a.s.surance for Long Yu during his fight with a master of Wudao eighth layer.
“I first need to look for Ling Han, after that I will focus on comprehending the implication of ‘suppression world law’ in the mysterious mood.”
Long Yu calculated the time and discovered that almost 2 hours had pa.s.sed since the time Ling Han jumped down from the tree to stop his pursuers. Such a long time had already pa.s.sed, he did not know about the current situation of Ling Han.
He displayed the peak level flickering wind step and returned along the same route.
Soon, he returned to that pool where top-grade ancient ginseng had grown. Long Yu had run through the jungle, but did not hear any sounds of fighting.
Long Yu carefully searched and found three corpses hidden in the woods and belonged to the disciples of Qiansi sect.
“It seems like Brother Ling Han should be all right, but nothing seems to have happened to that Feng Yao as well……”
Long Yu thought in mind, even though he could not find them, he was not puzzled from this, because he knew that depending on Feng Yao’s strength, it would not be easy for her to kill Ling Han.
Just when Long Yu was about to set out to find them, suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting from the pool’s direction.
“Fight?”
Long Yu complexion slightly changed, he immediately used a twinkling step and hid among the dark trees then looked in the direction of the pool.
He saw that it was not Feng Yao, Ling Han and other pursuers, but were actually the strongest disciple of Wudao eighth layer from Zhentian sect, Tan Jian, as well as other two Wudao eighth layer martial artists.
“Tan Jian and two other masters of Wudao eighth layer from Hanbing sect!”
Long Yu’s eyes shone brightly, he actually never expected to see this trio right on!
Among them was a pair of a man and a woman, both had thin statures and were at Wudao eight layer, but waving among blooming over ten kilograms of force, compelling Tan Jian to draw back step by step!
And Tan Jian seemed to have many scruples and was retreating step by step with a fierce look on his face.
“Top-grade ancient ginseng, so they are fighting for a top-grade ancient ginseng!”
Long Yu sensed a unique breath exuding from Tan Jian, and he was able to tell the difference, it was obvious that the fragrance of a top-grade ancient ginseng was mixed in the aura of Tan Jian.
“No wonder that these two have surrounded Tan Jian, this guy has actually consumed a top-grade ancient ginseng ……”
A cold look flashed in Long Yu’s eyes.
Since the day he entered the Zhentian sect, this Tan Jian had been causing trouble for him, but he was strong enough to survive all this time, otherwise he would probably have already been crippled, or even killed!
Now that he had a chance to benefit from another’s strife, he must ambush Tan Jian. Long Yu would certainly not miss this opportunity.
The best case scenario should be to catch Tan Jian and the Hanbing sect’s pair and eliminate all of them in one fell swoop!
