Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Breaking the Limit1

The sun dipped to the west, and the moon hare rose, stars twinkling above, casting the pure moonlight down from the high sky, penetrating the window and shining upon Gu Chen's body.

At this mont, Gu Chen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a thought, he called up the panel.

Na: Gu Chen

Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training (Beginner), Red Fla Palm (Perfection), Seal ridian Finger, Phantom Traceless Step, Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills

Internal Skill: Pure Yang Technique

Cultivation Age: One hundred eighty-six years

Realm: Late ridian Connecting Stage

rit Points: 68

Out of those, twenty-eight rit points were obtained from slaying the spectral ghost inside Zheng Jinan's body, the rest were all from other ghosts in Li Mountain County.

Regrettably, in Li Mountain County, Gu Chen had only found that one spectral ghost; otherwise, his rit points could have been higher.

Feeling the abundant internal energy within his body, Gu Chen opened his eyes and took out the ridian Connecting Pills that he had exchanged for during the day at the Jing Tian Departnt.

ridian Connecting Pills required substantial contributions to acquire, one bottle cost Gu Chen ten points of rit, even pricier than an inferior class treasure weapon.

All the honors Gu Chen had received from his mission were exchanged for ridian Connecting Pills, a total of three bottles.

A single bottle of ridian Connecting Pills, if released into the rivers and lakes, was enough to provoke a frenzied grab among countless martial artists, not much less coveted than the Longevity Pills of the Sunset Sword Sect.

Gu Chen opened the bottle cap, a faint fragrance spilled out, the ridian Connecting Pills were pale green, the size of pellets, Gu Chen took one and swallowed it.

As the na implies, ridian Connecting Pills are made to aid martial artists in the ridian Connecting Stage to better break through the ridians within their bodies.

You should know that when a person is just born, they actually possess the innate body, where all ridians are open and all the orifices are clear.

However, when they co into the human world, that breath of innate air cannot reside long and gradually dissipates, along with the polluted air from the great world eroding, the infant's innate body will degenerate into an acquired physique in a short ti.

Once the innate air disperses and the polluted air enters the body, it would clog the human ridians, and all the orifices and various mystical gates, thus, if martial artists want to beco stronger, they need to spend ti and effort to break through these locks that bind the human body, only then can they regenerate a breath of innate air.

The path of a martial artist's cultivation is actually a process of gradually returning from the acquired to the innate.

When the ridian Connecting Pill entered the stomach, it quickly turned into a stream of burning dicinal effect, traveling throughout Gu Chen's body along the ridians. Seeing this, Gu Chen willed it, and ten and five rit points imdiately disappeared from the panel, transford into ten and five years of internal breath cultivation age that appeared inside his body.

The sudden addition of ten and five years of cultivation power made Gu Chen's ridians, already brimming with internal breath, swell to the point of fullness in an instant.

By then, Gu Chen's internal breath cultivation age had surpassed the maximum of two hundred, reaching an astonishing two hundred and one years.

Boom!

Explosions like spring thunder began echoing continuously by Gu Chen's ears, and in a short period of ti, six ridians were broken through by Gu Chen; then, the progress slowed down and t with great resistance, the ridians felt painfully swollen, and his body felt the sa.

At this mont, Gu Chen had reached the limit recorded in the Nine Provinces for martial artists in the ridian Connecting Stage, which was fifty-six ridians.

But Gu Chen knew that this was the limit of other martial artists, not his own.

From the mont he had the panel, Gu Chen was very certain that he could break through the limit of the ridian Connecting Stage and create a new record.

Without hesitation, Gu Chen opened the cap, swallowed two more ridian Connecting Pills, noting that one bottle of ridian Connecting Pills only had five pills after all.

Two ridian Connecting Pills, along with the increased cultivation power of two hundred and one years, rushed through his body like a river. At that mont, countless capillaries on Gu Chen's body burst, blood sprayed from all over his body, drenching him into a blood-soaked figure.

Gu Chen seed to feel nothing, wholeheartedly manipulating the vast internal breath within his body to open more ridians.

Seven...

Eight...

Nine...

Ten...

Eleven!

After a long ti, Gu Chen, knowing he had reached his limit, opened his eyes. Ignoring the sorry state of his body, tiny specks of light converged in his pupils, shining brighter than the stars in the night sky outside the window.

This ti, with the help of the Channel-Opening Pill, Gu Chen had opened up a total of eleven ridians in his body, far surpassing the limit that martial artists in the Nine Provinces could achieve at the ridian-Opening Stage!

To open up sixty-one ridians in the ridian-Opening Stage was an earth-shattering event capable of shaking the entire Nine Provinces.

You must know, even so martial artists at the External Qi Stage had not opened as many ridians as Gu Chen had.

At this mont, the records of the ridian-Opening Stage held for countless years in the Nine Provinces were broken by Gu Chen.

But obviously, this was a secret belonging solely to Gu Chen himself, and he would not tell anyone.

At this mont, Gu Chen felt waves of pain emanating from the ridians within his body, and even his flesh was no different.

This might just be the "side effect" of breaking the limit. It's worth ntioning that Gu Chen's physical strength far exceeded that of martial artists at the sa realm, yet he felt this way, let alone others.

This was also why many martial artists at the ridian-Opening Stage couldn't even manage to open twenty ridians.

The practice at the ridian-Opening Stage placed great emphasis on one's constitution and physical quality. Only soone like Gu Chen, with the assistance of the panel, who could continuously increase his cultivation level and improve his martial arts realm to strengthen his body, constantly breaking limits, could achieve such a feat at the ridian-Opening Stage.

If others tried forcibly to open their ridians, they would have succumbed to cultivation deviation and exploded to death long ago.

The next mont, Gu Chen brought up the panel once again.

Na: Gu Chen

Martial Arts: Dragon-Tiger Roaring Horizontal Training (entry-level), Red Fla Palm (perfection), Seal ridian Finger, Phantom Traceless Step, Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills

Inner Strength: Pure Yang Technique

Cultivation: Two hundred and one years

Realm: Late ridian-Opening Stage

Cultivation Points: 53

"Why am I still at the late ridian-Opening Stage?" Gu Chen frowned, unable to believe that after breaking his limits and opening sixty-one ridians in his body, he hadn't reached the perfect completion of the ridian-Opening Stage.

"Could it be that, at the ridian-Opening Stage, I can still open even more ridians?"

At this thought, even Gu Chen himself was startled, sixty-one ridians and still not his limit; heaven knows how many more he could open at the ridian-Opening Stage, it was truly astonishing.

"Keep a low profile, I must keep a low profile..." Gu Chen kept whispering to himself, reminding himself not to beco arrogant because of this and never to let anyone know of this secret. Otherwise, every martial artist in the Nine Provinces would go insane with desire and would co after him, wanting to dissect him to discover the truth.

At this stage, Gu Chen's strength was not enough for self-preservation, so he must be discreet and keep this secret well-guarded.

"It looks like I'll have to spend even more ti in the ridian-Opening Stage," Gu Chen said, the corner of his mouth curving in a smile. If so other martial artist, even a genius like Chen Yu, heard this, they would certainly be unable to resist the urge to beat him to death.

No other reason, it was just too infuriating, sothing countless martial artists couldn't achieve even in their dreams.

But now, he had reached his limit and could not continue to open any more ridians. Thus, with a thought, Gu Chen saw twelve cultivation points disappear from his panel, and the Dragon-Tiger Roaring Horizontal Training martial art had reached minor accomplishnt.

Hum!

At that mont, Gu Chen's entire body trembled violently. As the Dragon-Tiger Roaring Horizontal Training reached minor accomplishnt, the cultivation of his body began anew. His muscles and bones underwent another cycle of refinent, and the dragon and tiger phantoms quickly flashed behind him once more.

If one's eyes were sharp enough, they could see that the phantoms looked much more solid than before.

At the sa ti, Gu Chen radiated light, a pale golden glow completely enveloping him. At that mont, even his hair seed to turn a pale golden color.

Gu Chen sat crossed-leg, his presence dignified, appearing as a transcendent Buddha descending into the mortal world.
