Chapter 179: Ch 179- Breaking Through Limits

Mo Yuan continued practicing the Boundless Saber Art.

He moved his saber again and again, carefully feeling every movement and trying to understand the deeper mysteries hidden within the technique.

Five minutes later, he finally stopped.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"My comprehension speed has increased by at least two times."

Mo Yuan had clearly felt the difference.

His mind was processing the mysteries of the saber technique much faster than before. Even small changes that would normally take him a long time to understand were now becoming clear much more quickly.

"Two times..."

Mo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

Previously, he estimated that it would take him around two months to comprehend the Boundless Saber Art to the Major Achievement stage but with his current comprehension speed, that time should be reduced to roughly one month.

"One month..."

Mo Yuan muttered to himself.

His eyes became slightly excited.

His Boundless Saber Art had only reached Minor Achievement so far, yet it already gave him a nine-times increase in strength.

He was very curious about how much stronger he would become once he reached Major Achievement.

"Once I reach major Achievement I’ll become even more op"

He could not help but look forward to it.

However, there was no need to rush.

"Once I leave the Secret Realm, I’ll spend equal time on cultivation and Saber Dao."

Mo Yuan had already made his decision.

He did not want to focus only on cultivation and neglect his combat techniques.

The higher his realm became, the more important his understanding of Saber Dao would be.

A powerful cultivation realm without a matching combat technique would only mean that he had strength but could not use it properly.

Mo Yuan then looked around the Secret Realm.

"Now, what should I do?"

He thought for a moment before making his decision.

"I’ve already collected most of the treasures I wanted. It’s time to cultivate."

There were still fifteen days before the Secret Realm would close.

With the amount of resources he had collected, Mo Yuan was confident that he could make another major improvement during this time.

"There are still fifteen days left."

A confident smile appeared on his face.

"With enough resources, I should be able to reach the Peak Origin Soul Realm. Then, after I leave the Secret Realm, I can focus on breaking through to the Origin Lord Realm."

After making his plan, Mo Yuan returned to the previous location.

He filled the pit with beast blood once again.

However, he did not take out the hundred-year-old Jade Liquid for cultivation.

He had already obtained enough cultivation resources to improve his Origin Soul Realm, so there was no reason to waste the precious Jade Liquid now.

"I’ll use the Jade Liquid after reaching the Origin Lord Realm."

He then took out another treasure from his storage space.

It was a strange-looking crimson fruit covered in tiny golden lines.

This was the Crimson Meridian Fruit.

It was a rare cultivation treasure capable of helping an Origin Soul Realm cultivator break through a minor realm.

Mo Yuan had obtained it inside the Secret Realm.

Then without wasting any time Mo Yuan went inside the pit.

Then without hesitation, he swallowed the fruit and at the same time, he activated his Body Morphing Talent.

Countless mouths appeared across his body and then he activated his fused Devour Talent.

The beast blood began rushing toward his body at an even faster rate.

Mo Yuan closed his eyes and focused entirely on cultivation.

The energy continuously circulated through his body.

At the same time, more and more minor meridians began opening.

One after another.

Mo Yuan carefully searched for every hidden meridian and tempered it with Primordial Qi.

Three days later, Mo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

A powerful aura spread from his body.

"Finally."

A smile appeared on his face.

He had successfully opened and tempered all sixty-four known minor meridians.

It had only taken him three days.

The Crimson Meridian Fruit had played a major role in this but the biggest reason was his terrifying cultivation speed after fusing Devour and Absorption talent.

However, Mo Yuan knew that the process had not been easy.

As the number of opened meridians increased, finding the remaining ones became more and more difficult.

The first few were easy to locate but after reaching the later stages, even with the assistance of the Crimson Meridian Fruit, finding each hidden meridian required considerable effort.

Still, he had finally completed found and tempered the sixty-fourth meridian.

Mo Yuan looked inward at his body.

His Primordial Qi was flowing through a complete network of major, primary and minor meridians.

According to the cultivation books he had read, this was already considered the complete meridian network of the Origin Soul Realm.

At this point, he could break through to the Peak Origin Soul Realm but Mo Yuan did not do it.

Instead, he continued thinking about something he had read before.

"Sixty-four isn’t the limit."

His eyes narrowed.

According to the records, sixty-four minor meridians were considered the standard limit.

However, some extremely talented cultivators could discover additional hidden meridians.

The sixty-fifth meridian and possibly even more.

Those who managed to open these hidden meridians could break through the normal limits of their realm.

For an ordinary Peak Origin Soul Realm cultivator, the physical strength limit was around ten million jin, the speed limit was around thirty Mach and Origin Sense could reach around one kilometer.

But someone who opened the sixty-fifth meridian could surpass those limits.

It was not simply a matter of having more Primordial Qi.

The additional meridian allowed the body to contain and circulate more energy, making the cultivator fundamentally stronger than someone at the same realm.

Mo Yuan’s eyes gradually became brighter.

"Then let’s see..."

"How many extra meridians can I find?"

He had already reached the normal limit but Mo Yuan had never been someone who was satisfied with normal.

He refilled the pit with beast blood once again and then he sat down inside it and activated his Body Morphing and Devour Talents.

The cultivation process began once again.

This time, Mo Yuan was no longer trying to open the sixty-fourth meridian.

He was searching for something that ordinary cultivators might never even discover.

A hidden meridian beyond the limits of the Origin Soul Realm.

"Let’s see where my limit really is."
