Chapter 451 - 298: Eight Meridians Perfection! The Pearl Gives Birth to the Ninth Meridian!

Blood Evil wanted to speak more, but the King of North Snow waved his hand.

"Brother Blood Evil, rest assured, this time you don’t need to take action. I have my own arrangements."

"..."

...

One day later.

Qin Capital, inner city, Chu Mansion.

Chu Ming sat cross-legged in his room, his eyes slightly closed, as four great lakes in his Sea of Consciousness churned simultaneously.

Especially in the center of the Cultivation Technique Lake, the vortices representing the first seven meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians rotated at high speed around twelve small islands.

Meanwhile, the eighth vortex gradually took shape.

Inside his body, a vast Qi and Blood Power surged throughout, forming an inner cycle.

In his palm, the Qi Blood Pearl stored within seemed attracted, as a small vortex of Qi and Blood Power formed above the pearl.

The inner and outer vortices seemed to be one; the eighth vortex in the Cultivation Technique Lake enlarged, and the vortex on the Qi Blood Pearl grew bigger as well.

Chu Ming devoted himself entirely to cultivation during these two days, comprehending the cultivation technique, deducing techniques, ingesting elixirs and treasures...

Finally, on a day when the snow was falling heavily, he broke through the last meridian of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, reaching Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection.

But as he broke through the last meridian, an anomaly occurred in the Qi Blood Pearl that also began condensing a vortex.

After a brief inspection, Chu Ming joyfully found that this pearl, purified by Qi Rhythm White Light and long nurtured by his own Qi and Blood, seemed to form a mysterious connection with himself.

Thus, without any halt, he grasped the Qi Blood Pearl, swallowed an elixir, and his Sea of Consciousness evolved...

Buzz!

At a certain moment, a thorough sensation filled him from head to toe.

The eighth vortex in his Sea of Consciousness completely formed.

Simultaneously, the vortex on the Qi Blood Pearl in his hand reached its peak.

In the next instant, Qi Rhythm White Light bloomed all around him, enveloping the Qi Blood Pearl, as if wanting to merge with the Qi Blood Vortex.

Thump! Thump!

Soon after, Chu Ming felt his entire blood vessels pulsating, yearning for something.

What else could it yearn for but the Qi Blood White Bead filled with his own Qi and Blood Power.

Chu Ming’s eyes flashed, and his right hand grasped in the void, an anomaly sprang anew.

The vortex above the Qi Blood White Bead dispersed with a boom, and the bead itself transformed into countless white light points.

Fusion... purification...

Until all external phenomena vanished.

The vortex originally outside condensed in the center of the chest.

Joy flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes, his left hand clenched slightly, as if infinite power surged forth in an instant.

"..."

"Lower Realm Perfection of Meridian Unlocking?"

"No," Chu Ming softly murmured feeling the ninth Qi Blood Vortex in his chest, "I’m beyond perfection."

On the panel.

[Mountain and Sea Primordial Body Technique·Meridian Passage (Meridian Passage)]

[Progress: 100/100]

Though it wasn’t Bone Marrow Cleansing, nor did he deduce a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm technique, Chu Ming knew that the realm he currently reached had already surpassed Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection.

"The ninth Qi Blood Vortex..."

The vortex formed from the Qi Blood White Bead had clearly merged into part of his body, and the Qi and Blood Power within equaled the total amount of all Qi and Blood Power in his veins.

But this was just a representation of Qi Blood; the Qi Blood White Bead incorporated into his body seemed like the Ninth Meridian, elevating the mobilization of Qi and Blood Power in the blood and muscle channels to a new level.

Chu Ming estimated that should he encounter the Blood Evil Sect’s Evil Moon in Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm again, with Red Palm Power, he could break through its defenses.

"So this is the power of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

"..."

He looked up at the window; the giant snowflakes continued to fall, the wind blew even more wildly.

Outside the mansion, the Blood Evil Sect and three disciplined individuals from another faction were still crouching guard.

Looking at the situation, unless provided an opportunity, neither faction would act.

Lowering his gaze, Chu Ming picked up the case scroll on the desk.

The contents of the scroll were regarding the matters of Mei’an Mountain Stone Factory and Jiping Cloth Shop.

After sheltering a large number of poor people from the shantytown, both places had resumed production.

However, such heavy snow had collapsed many production buildings and facilities, and the heads of the stone factory and shop had sent several plea scrolls.
