Chapter 123: Success Comes Naturally at Six-Seven Opening
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…"
Inside the stone house, water dripped down a bamboo tube, gathering into a small pool. Li Hui sat in the pool, eyes closed in meditation, feeling the pervasive moisture and the spiritual energy slowly gathering along with it.
The bamboo tube connected to a water collection flag outside, a simple facility found in every stone house in the town. Its origin is unknown, but it greatly benefits everyone by eliminating the need to fetch water from the mountain valleys.
Li Hui’s breathing grew weaker, until it finally stopped! However, there was nothing unusual; he had transitioned to embryonic breathing, immersing himself in the aura of spiritual energy.
With elements of gold, wood, water, fire, soil, thunder, lightning, wind, frost, poison, yin-Yang, time, and space, all these subtle spiritual energies brushed against him, replenishing more than half of his innate deficiencies. This fundamentally reinforced his foundation, nourishing the once-dry potential of his body.
The miraculous methods from the Nine-Mystic Continent first revealed the tip of the iceberg on the Wutu Continent. Within mere hours, he experienced a sense of true transformation.
The pool water, initially clear as spring water, became murky, yet Li Hui remained completely still.
After a while, he began to reverse the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays within him, generating immense repulsion through all his acupoints, pushing the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols outward.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…"
The Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols quivered rhythmically, skillfully releasing all repulsive forces. They had been buried by the sect leader of the Jade Symbol Sect; surely, they couldn’t be removed so easily?
Li Hui didn’t anticipate removing the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols all at once. Instead, he used the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays to continuously draw in their power, treating the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols as sources of spiritual energy.
The silver snake bracelet still held some enhancing power, but this time the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols were under the concealment of the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays, greatly diminishing their effectiveness compared to the support Li Hui received from the arrays.
After a quarter of an hour of contest, thirty-six lights ignited on Li Hui’s body.
These light points swiftly twisted and were drawn, creating golden lines that led to further illumination on his body.
Moments later, his entire body sparkled with gold lines and points of light. The Heavenly and Earthly Arrays no longer reversed; they quickly returned to normal, resuming their absorption of spiritual energy, causing his entire meridians and acupoints to shine brighter.
"What a vicious tactic!" Li Hui’s expression changed several times, and he shouted angrily, "The Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols were buried to activate my potential, allowing them to engrave so many texts into my mind. At the peak of danger, they can unleash power similar to the Celestial Demons’ Disintegration Technique, followed by triggering the explosion of the Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbol. Even without the silver snake bracelet, the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols would stimulate my body to improve my cultivation. In other words, I’m not the only one facing a short lifespan; Senior Sister Lian and Gao Yuhu are also losing years. If we don’t encounter a special opportunity within three to five years, we will all become nothing but dry bones."
Li Hui carefully recalled Zhang Tianhua’s repeated increases in cultivation whenever he appeared, the levels reached by Lian Luosha and Gao Yuhu, as well as the unbelievable power shown by Bai Yulian and Mo Xinghe. It turned out that everyone was roughly on the same level.
The only difference lay with the silver snake bracelet, which initially activated the Dragon Claw pattern, then the Dragon Body pattern, and later the Dragon Horn pattern. He recalled what the medical elder murmured; it must have also activated the good fortune, which allowed him to obtain exotic treasures like the Golden Bead, Cow Shock Stone, and Clear Void Cup.
With this thought in mind, Li Hui utilized the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays to draw out the power of the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols, sending it throughout all of his meridians and acupoints.
To stimulate potential, he had to activate all acupoints simultaneously. The treasure cabinet continuously replenished what was consumed; now was the time to advance. Golden patterns began to emerge on his legs, and surprisingly, the sixth and seventh Spirit Motion marks were about to open simultaneously.
Normally, breaking through the acupoints required waves of force, but this time he shattered the double shackles with just one strike.
Both the capacity of the acupoints and the width of the meridians had now reached the requirement. Once spiritual energy transformed into spiritual strength, it flowed like a stream, gradually forming a cycle, especially in his legs where the flow accelerated. The Dragon Claw pattern manifested, making his feet feel as if they were gliding through the clouds, and it appeared much thicker than the Dragon Claw patterns on his arms.
"This time, there are no mutations; it’s still the Dragon Claw pattern!"
Li Hui rose to admire the golden Dragon Claw tattooed on his leg, but unexpectedly, his feet became scorching hot. Five golden lotuses erupted, trembling as they began to rotate, quickly increasing from five to seven.
The Dharma clouds rising with his increasing cultivation had occurred before, so he was not overly surprised. His body felt as light as a feather; now, with seven lotus pedestals surrounding him, he felt as if he could soar at any moment.
"Finally, I’ve taken this step! I successfully gained three more months of lifespan, and the Golden Threshold Thirty-Six Symbols should dissipate now!" Li Hui clenched his fist, seeing slender golden threads emanate from him, instantly turning to ash in the air, while his heart felt relieved.
"With this, only the Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbol remains to be dealt with. Unfortunately, the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays are definitely not a match for them. I can only depend on various kinds of spiritual energy to slowly cultivate the talisman formation, nurturing all the spirit talismans to the treasure talisman level. Perhaps then I can extract these nine nails!"
Li Hui, unaware of how he fell asleep, continuously drew in spiritual energy from the Bamboo Box as he rested.
This spiritual energy resembled fluff, flames, crescent moons, frost, and streaks of Blood Light. If anyone witnessed this scene, they would surely be amazed.
As Li Hui slept, the teleportation array he had used twenty days prior erupted with bright light, and nearly a thousand figures streamed out from the light barrier, with the first five scanning the blood sea, their expressions filled with confusion.
"Yang Jueyu, is this your Junior Brother’s place of escape? Why do I feel like jumping from one pit into another?"
The speaker appeared young, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a handsome face and fiery red eyebrows and hair. His feet floated off the bridge, and the blood sea beneath him naturally compressed down half a foot, the area affected reaching a radius of three hundred zhang, exuding an overwhelming presence.
His casual speech with Yang Jueyu indicated that his status was not simple.
"Fire Shao, this should be the place!" Yang Jueyu replied with a smile, "Even if it’s jumping from one pit to another, it shows that this local master is eliminating the weak. We only need to walk strong and demonstrate our value; what’s there to fear about leaving this place?"
"Exactly! My Fire Family has long looked down upon the Three Sects and Four Sects, but can we really obtain the Jade Symbol methods from that little guy?"
"You have to trust me on this!" Yang Jueyu glanced back at the dozens of disciples from the Jade Symbol Sect and said, "Li Hui’s talent is quite poor. According to the jade tablet left by my teacher, he can’t even have the Myriad Form Realm cultivation method engraved in his mind. Instead, he has engraved quite a few talisman methods and miscellaneous texts. He probably has two sets of secret techniques that are very suitable for Fire Shao, and we’ll surely find out once we take his head!"
"Hahaha, I like someone as straightforward as you!" The red-haired youth patted Yang Jueyu on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go! I’ve seen three large islands in the distance with the Moon-Chasing Mirror. Let’s take over those islands first. The entire Li Family has fallen in here; they have a lot of people. We Fire Family need to recruit more hands to ensure we stand on solid ground."
"The Li Family of Linggui City?" Upon hearing the name Li Family, Yang Jueyu couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. How wealthy is the salt merchant family? Half of the Dalong sects can hardly compare to them, and this Li Family has completely fallen in!
