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-meter-high ice peak, Ding Hao released his spirit. Everything below the mountain was vividly captured in his mind. He could “see” clearly a primeval forest on the mountainside, with a warm climate and numerous 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 become his eyes and ears.

  Ding Hao soon concluded that his new and powerful Divine Senses could cover a radius of 10,000 meters, 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 immediately.

  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 medicinal power turned into a hot current, spreading out inside his body.

  Ding Hao coursed his Qi around his inner meridians and continued maximizing the medicinal efficacy, turning the Qi into vigorous vitality and constantly infusing it into every cell. Under the sunlight, Ding Hao’s formerly shriveled skin had become 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 time 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 former 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 consumed in the past three months had been replenished in this process.

  By now, Ding Hao’s temperament 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 temperament for the first time. Even if he was amongst thousands of geniuses, Ding Hao would still stand out at a glance. He had a unique demeanor and spirit, as if an invisible divine halo was over him.

  After suffering this serious injury, Ding Hao seemed to have been reborn.

  He directed his inner Qi around his meridians.

  Within his Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins, his Hell Ice Qi and Heaven Fire Qi were surging.

  In the lower dantian of his abdomen 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 meridian channels that had been unsealed, rushing through the acupoints and circulating in the meridians, nourishing his body.

  As Ding Hao directed his Qi around his meridians 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 same time, the unsealed acupoints in his meridians were like vast planets in the universe, shimmering brightly as they gushed out of Ding Hao’s body, making it seemed 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 immediately……”


  Ding Hao felt the Qi inside his body surging, unprecedentedly vigorous and active. There were stabbing pains in his Twelve Meridians 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 extreme, 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 immediately 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 meridian channels and acupoints.

  Ding Hao was at the Six-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm.

  Almost at the same moment 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 time, 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 meridians, 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 meridian!

  A Seven-apertured Great Grandmaster.
