Had he reached the “My Thoughts and I Are One” Realm when he faced the Moonlight Fairy that day, that demoness would not have succeeded in her sneak attack.
Standing on the 10,000-ter-high ice peak, Ding Hao released his spirit. Everything below the mountain was vividly captured in his mind. He could “see” clearly a prival forest on the mountainside, with a warm climate and nurous wild beasts. As detected by his Divine Senses, Ding Hao could even hear the sounds of crawling insects and ants distinctly.
He was slowly adapting to this process.
In the end, whenever he released his Divine Senses, he could observe any object he wanted at will. Amidst the tens of thousands of voices and images, he could proficiently pick out the one he wanted.
It was as though the entire mountain had beco his eyes and ears.
Ding Hao soon concluded that his new and powerful Divine Senses could cover a radius of 10,000 ters, from where he was standing.
Since he had just reached the “My Thoughts and I Are One” Realm, it had not stabilized yet. It was absolutely impossible for his spirit to travel out of his body. Once his spirit left his body, it would dissipate and disappear almost imdiately.
Ding Hao took out a 10,000-year-old Green Jade Ginseng from his Storage Ring, chewing it like a radish in big mouthfuls.
The dicinal power turned into a hot current, spreading out inside his body.
Ding Hao coursed his Qi around his inner ridians and continued maximizing the dicinal efficacy, turning the Qi into vigorous vitality and constantly infusing it into every cell. Under the sunlight, Ding Hao’s forrly shriveled skin had beco luscious and moist, at a speed visible to the naked eye, his hollow flesh and blood slowly recovering.
Ding Hao’s self-healing over the past few days had almost depleted all the vitality and blood vigor in his body.
It was ti to replenish them with a tonic.
Ding Hao chewed dozens of 10,000-year-old Green Jade Ginsengs in one go like they were radishes, refining them all. In the end, his body returned to his forr luster, his skin clear and luscious like jade, his flesh, blood, bones and marrows firm and glowing, and his whole body flushing with blood and Qi like a gigantic dragon. All the vitality he consud in the past three months had been replenished in this process.
By now, Ding Hao’s temperant had changed greatly.
Standing at the ice cliff, he was like a peerless divine sword finally purged of the thick dust on its blade, showing its keenness and unique temperant for the first ti. Even if he was amongst thousands of geniuses, Ding Hao would still stand out at a glance. He had a unique deanor and spirit, as if an invisible divine halo was over him.
After suffering this serious injury, Ding Hao seed to have been reborn.
He directed his inner Qi around his ridians.
Within his Twelve ridians and Six Strange Veins, his Hell Ice Qi and Heaven Fire Qi were surging.
In the lower dantian of his abdon and the middle dantian of his chest, two Qi Seeds, like new suns, emitted a glowing brilliance as well as an indescribable Chaotic Aura, turning continuously into a liquid mystic power. Like a tide breaching a levee, it flowed along the ridian channels that had been unsealed, rushing through the acupoints and circulating in the ridians, nourishing his body.
As Ding Hao directed his Qi around his ridians with all his strength, two streams of flowing light—one silver and one gold—flowed out of his body. Like a divine dragon, they changed shapes constantly, gyrating around his body as if alive.
At the sa ti, the unsealed acupoints in his ridians were like vast planets in the universe, shimring brightly as they gushed out of Ding Hao’s body, making it seed almost transparent like jade. This was the ineffable aura of the Great Tao.
It was a terrifying Tao aura.
“I can’t suppress it any longer. I must try breaching the acupoints imdiately...”
Ding Hao felt the Qi inside his body surging, unprecedentedly vigorous and active. There were stabbing pains in his Twelve ridians and Six Strange Veins, as if they were about to explode. The speed at which his Qi rushed through each acupoint had exceeded what was normal, eddying rapidly like a whirlpool in the sea.
The big duels Ding Hao had fought over these days, as well as his activation of the rusted sword and the devil saber to the extre, had made him suppress his cultivation, postponing his breakthrough in an effort to heal himself. By now, he could no longer suppress it. His Qi cultivation was finally about to break through to the next level.
He imdiately went into the ice cave behind him and set up an inscription barrier around himself to isolate all his aura. Then, he began breaching the new ridian channels and acupoints.
Ding Hao was at the Six-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm.
Almost at the sa mont when this thought crossed his mind, a violent stream of Qi surged up. With a boom, his “Daguan acupoint,” the seventh acupoint of the Yangming Sixth Channel of Hand, was breached. The whole process took an incredibly short ti, far beyond Ding Hao’s expectations.
“It seems that the energy I have accumulated is really too powerful.”
Ding Hao steadied his mind and entered the state of emptiness. In just a few dozen breaths, all the bruises on his “Daguan acupoint” faded. The quicksilver-like Hell Ice Qi coursed inside his ridians, as the acupoints emitted a silvery light, streaming out of his body, showing its infinite abstruse nature. The whole process was like the birth of a star.
He had succeeded in unsealing a ridian!
A Seven-apertured Great Grandmaster.
Chapter 10 The Giant Increase in Strength
Without any hesitation, Ding Hao imdiately activated the Heaven Fire Qi Seed in the middle dantian of his chest.
The Heaven Fire Qi was flowing and surging about like golden lava, rumbling like a volcanic eruption. The 10th acupoint of the third ridian of his Six Strange Veins—the Jutu acupoint of Chong channel—was almost instantaneously breached by this mad outburst of Heaven Fire Qi.
The whole process was too fast and violent. Ding Hao could not help but let out a muffled groan. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
“It doesn’t seem a good idea to suppress it too hard...” Ding Hao ran his Qi around his ridians and ward his body. Soon, he controlled the raging Qi, making it eddy around that particular Jutu acupoint.
If anyone were to learn about this violent thod, and how much it could help accelerate their cultivation, their jaws would definitely drop.
Genius warriors who had practiced for years and accumulated enough latent power would still take one or two months to complete the breakthrough. Not even one out of ten million warriors could break through into the sixth-apertured level instantaneously like Ding Hao.
Dozens of breaths later, a fiery golden fla gushed out from Ding Hao’s back.
He had succeeded in unsealing another ridian!
Ding Hao took less than 15 minutes to successfully reach the Dual-ridian Seven-Apertured Great Grandmaster Realm, unsealing two ridian channels.
But that was obviously not the end.
After breaching these two acupoints, the surging and vigorous Qi inside Ding Hao’s body did not seem to be much relieved. His Twelve ridians and Six Strange Veins were all bursting with Qi, causing the ridian channels to swell and ache. This pain was acute, as the Qi eddied and gushed around his ridians most violently.
“I can still advance.”
After thinking for a while, Ding Hao decided to continue breaching the next acupoint.
In the silvery ice cave, Ding Hao sat cross-legged in the center of the ice chamber. Golden and silver flas surrounded his body, morphing into the shape of dragons, releasing mysterious and resplendent colors, illuminating the entire room as if it was paradise.
Layers of invisible energy, centering on Ding Hao, contracted and expanded with great regularity like a beating heart, accompanying his breaths.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The whole cave bood like a dragon making roars.
This kind of energy was frightfully strong. Had Ding Hao not set up an inscription barrier around the cave, its ice walls would have shattered long ago.
The clothes on Ding Hao’s body had long been shattered by this energy, disintegrating into powder and vanishing. His body was stark naked—clear, luscious and almost transparent like jade. The 20 bones of his chest and rib cage seed plated with silver, with Yin and Yang Qi interchanging. The large bones down his spine had morphed into a purple divine dragon, usurping his back.
Moreover, a silvery ray of light was orbiting from his abdon to every part of his body, in a specific trajectory. Here and there, so silvery star-like ball of light would appear. Another golden ray of light was also orbiting around his body from his chest, in another trajectory, together with other similarly large shimring golden stars.
These were the trajectories of two kinds of Qi in his body, as well as the acupoints of his Twelve ridians and Six Strange Veins that had been breached.
Ding Hao’s body, like a newly-ford universe, was evolving and expanding little by little. The golden and silvery tracks were naturally ford, containing the aura of the Great Tao. The acupoints ford different constellation pathways, and a mysterious power was generating slowly inside Ding Hao’s body.
This strange and magnificent phenonon continued.
Gold and silvery threads continued to spread and expand. As ti went by, new balls of light kept shimring in Ding Hao’s body, releasing starry brilliance.
Ti passed slowly and yet quickly.
He did not know how long it took, but the raging Qi coursing inside Ding Hao’s body finally stabilized.
The golden and silvery flas surrounding him beca more and more dazzling. The temperature on his right side was extrely cold, with even the air crackling like freezing ice. On his left side, however, it was like a ball of solar fire. The air was distorted, and even the space seed to be lting.
These two forces reinforced and counteracted each other.
In the end, half of Ding Hao’s body was coated in an extrely mysterious layer of cold ice, like an armor, while the other half was burning with golden flas. There seed to be an invisible line dividing the two, splitting his body into two halves—one half extrely cold, the other extrely hot. It was a strange and magnificent phenonon, utterly incredible.
Ding Hao was not done yet.
He was making a last effort to continue the breakthrough.
The inscription barrier around him began to shatter and disintegrate, and the ice that had accumulated for tens of millions of years started to lt.
Under the dual effects of Ding Hao’s ice and fire, the water droplets would freeze into ice, before lting into water droplets again. Over a distance of four to five ters, a droplet of water would freeze and lt many dozen tis before hitting the ground.
15 minutes later, the inscription barrier surrounding him had completely disintegrated.
There was a surge of Qi energy and a loud boom. Unable to withstand that terrible power, the entire ice cave had exploded.
The entire mountaintop was blown away in an instant, with at least several hundred ters shaved off.
