Chapter 1359: Transcending Mortal Realm!

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Transcending Mortal Realm!

"Miss, if he is still alive... he very likely went back to Crescent Island to wait for you," said one of the middle-aged men.

"I’ll go back to Crescent Island to check."

With a flash in her eyes, Karina Hanson turned around and her entire being shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Crescent Island.

However, upon arriving at Crescent Island, Karina Hanson learned:

For over a year, Wyatt Barnes had never returned.

Standing above Crescent Island, Karina Hanson’s face was filled with self-blame, "It’s all because of me... If it wasn’t for my willfulness in not keeping Ajiu and Ashi by my side, Brother Wyatt wouldn’t have had an accident."

Taking a deep breath, Karina Hanson finally recovered her spirits.

"I’d better not show myself for now... so as not to worry Sister Keer, Sister Jovie, and Little White."

In the end, Karina Hanson did not make her presence known.

"Ajiu, Ashi... Let’s go home."

Turning around, looking at the two tall middle-aged men who followed her like shadows, Karina Hanson said in a deep voice, "I’m going to ask father for help... No matter if Brother Wyatt is dead or alive, I must find him."

Alive, I must see him; dead, I must find his body!

"Moreover, I have a strong intuition... Brother Wyatt, he should not be dead."

With this thought, Karina Hanson breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In a moment, flanked by Ajiu and Ashi, Karina Hanson headed north, her speed so swift that it stirred up towering, shocking waves on the sea.

Outside, just one year had passed, but inside the second layer of the Jewel Tower, three years had already gone by.

In those three full years, Wyatt Barnes’s ’Nine Emperors Fusion Mystique’ had become ’ninety-nine percent’ perfectly integrated with his Origin Force within his body.

"According to what Julia said... one more step and after completely integrating the Fusion Mystique with the Origin Force, I can open up the hidden Saint Veins in my body and break through to the ’Transcending Mortal Realm Early Stage’ in one fell swoop!"

A thought struck Wyatt Barnes, and he followed it with even more diligent cultivation.

The Transcending Mortal Realm was within sight!

Now, the only thought left in his mind was to break through to the ’Transcending Mortal Realm’.

Ten days swiftly passed.

Boom!!

Suddenly, within the second layer of the Jewel Tower, a gust of strong wind wreaked havoc and let out a loud noise that was deafening.

Following that, several dragon chants began to resound.

"Hmm?"

Even Elder Fire, the three-legged Golden Crow from the first layer of the Jewel Tower, noticed the commotion on the second layer and immediately ascended to it.

Upon reaching the second layer, Elder Fire found that the wooden hut he had erected was now shattered and scattered.

Inside the hut, a purple figure sat cross-legged in the void, emitting an intimidating aura... but of course, that was not what caught the attention the most.

What was most striking were the nine dragon phantom illusions hovering above the purple figure’s head.

"All... all nine-clawed Divine Dragons?"

Seeing the nine dragon phantom illusions, Elder Fire’s heart leaped, "What exactly has happened to him? Why did he evoke the resonance of nine dragons, and all of them nine-clawed Divine Dragons..."

Even though Elder Fire had lived long, this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene.

He had never even heard of it before.

But, although unseen and unheard, he could sense that this was an extraordinary celestial phenomenon.

Such a celestial phenomenon occurring on a person indicated that this person was extraordinary and not as simple as he seemed.

Very soon, Elder Fire also discovered that after a few dragon chants, the nine dragon phantom illusions turned into nine streams of light that shot into Wyatt Barnes’s body and disappeared.

At the same moment, Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes.

A surge of swirling Qi exploded from him as the center, raging outwards.

"Hahaha... I’ve broken through! I’ve broken through!!"

As Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes, he laughed heartily, his laughter unrestrained, "Fifteen Saint Veins... it’s actually fifteen Saint Veins! I have five more than Julia."

At the moment of his breakthrough to the ’Transcending Mortal Realm’, Wyatt Barnes found that he had unlocked fifteen Saint Veins.

"That’s not right!"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes realized a problem.

"Aren’t there supposed to be only eighty-one Saint Veins? I’ve just reached the ’Transcending Mortal Realm Early Stage’ and already uncovered fifteen Saint Veins... Logically, by the time I’m in the mid stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, I should be able to unlock at least sixteen Saint Veins."

"At the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, at least seventeen; at the Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm, at least eighteen; and at the Great Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm, at least nineteen!"

"All together... that seems to be eighty-five?"

"Eighty-five Saint Veins?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes widened. Wasn’t it said that there were only eighty-one hidden Saint Veins within the human body?

Even in the long history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, only three individuals had ever unlocked eighty-one Saint Veins... and these three people, later on, became peak powers of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, esteemed and unrivaled.

"Elder Fire."

With doubts, Wyatt Barnes inquired Elder Fire.

"Saint Veins?"

Elder Fire seemed to hear about the notion of ’Saint Veins’ for the first time, "The ’Saint Veins’ you’re talking about are known as ’Earth Veins’ on the planet Yan Huang... There are more than eighty-one hidden Saint Veins in any life form’s body."

"Indeed, being able to unlock eighty-one Saint Veins is considered to be a sign of a rare talent... Such a person is likely to achieve great things."

Elder Fire continued, "In fact, there are a total of ninety-nine hidden Saint Veins in the human body... The additional eighteen are extremely well-hidden and would be impossible to unlock without being extraordinarily bestowed by nature."

"Ninety-nine?"

Wyatt Barnes felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing Elder Fire’s words.

The existence of ninety-nine sacred meridians hidden within the human body?

"The additional eighteen sacred meridians primarily link to the eyes, nose, and ears... Once all are developed, whether it be vision, sense of smell, or hearing, one could achieve an exceedingly terrifying level."

"Those with strong vision can cultivate ’Clairvoyance,’ while those with strong hearing can acquire ’Wind-following Ears’..."

Elder Fire explained.

"In ’Jade Emperor Heaven,’ I’ve never heard of anyone who could develop all ninety-nine sacred meridians... Even Tathāgata, that old monk, is rumored to have only developed ninety-five sacred meridians."

"Horse Officer is probably the one who, besides him, has developed the most sacred meridians... with ninety-three."

Elder Fire said.

Tathagata Buddha developed ninety-five sacred meridians?

Monkey King developed ninety-three sacred meridians?

Wyatt Barnes was greatly shaken.

Of course, Wyatt knew that ’sacred meridians’ was just the term used on this planet, and elsewhere in the universe, they were not referred to as ’sacred meridians.’

"Elder Fire, what is this ’Jade Emperor Heaven’ you just mentioned?"

Wyatt Barnes regained his composure and asked curiously.

"Knowing about it now will only add to your worries... When you have the ability to leave this planet one day, you will naturally understand," Elder Fire said, deflecting.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Yet, he had some speculations in his heart.

The ’Jade Emperor Heaven’ mentioned by Elder Fire must be related to the ’Jade Emperor’ from ancient mythological legends.

And whether it be the former Elder Fire, Tathagata Buddha, or even Monkey King, they must all be from that ’Jade Emperor Heaven.’

"You can now develop fifteen sacred meridians, your talent is indeed exceptional... With your aptitude, in the future, you will at least be able to develop eighty-five sacred meridians. Even when looking across ’Jade Emperor Heaven,’ there won’t be more than ten people with such innate talent as yours."

Elder Fire exclaimed.

"Elder Fire... how many sacred meridians did you develop back in your day?"

Wyatt Barnes asked curiously.

"Eighty-seven," Elder Fire replied.

"Ei...eighty-seven?"

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes’s mouth twitched violently, and the slight sense of pride that had just risen in his heart instantly vanished.

What does it matter if he could develop eighty-five sacred meridians?

The Elder Fire, a Golden Crow, standing in front of him, only developed eighty-seven sacred meridians... But in the end, wasn’t he imprisoned inside the Jewel Tower, becoming a mere ’Tower Spirit’?

As if doused by a bucket of cold water, Wyatt Barnes completely sobered up.

"Not right!"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes seemed to remember something, looked at Elder Fire with confusion and asked, "Elder Fire, if ’Flame Yellow Star’ could produce so many incredibly talented powerhouses... why has this planet, over the vast expanse of time, only seen three individuals develop eighty-one sacred meridians?"

"Flame Yellow Star is the secular planet closest to ’Jade Emperor Heaven.’ Even those legends you’ve heard about in later generations may not all be true... Including myself and that Horse Officer, it’s true we were born on Flame Yellow Star, but we are not its indigenous people."

"I am a Golden Crow, transformed from the divine fire of the sun that fell from Jade Emperor Heaven to Flame Yellow Star... And Horse Officer, transformed from the five-colored stones of the ancient Goddess Nuwa, those stones originally belonging to Jade Emperor Heaven."

"Eventually, you’ll understand... Many of the characters from those legends you know are not actually indigenous to Flame Yellow Star," Elder Fire explained.

"What about Boone Lee?"

Wyatt Barnes then asked.

"Boone Lee is an indigenous person of Flame Yellow Star... And precisely for this reason, he was recognized by the Jewel Tower. The first owner of the Jewel Tower, an old monk named Ran Deng, also came from Flame Yellow Star."

"Ran Deng, the old monk, can be considered the most outstanding person who ever came out of Flame Yellow Star!" Elder Fire spoke slowly.

"How many sacred meridians did he develop?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.

"Eighty-five," replied Elder Fire.

"Only eighty-five?"

Wyatt Barnes was startled.

To know that even he, in the future, could at least develop eighty-five sacred meridians.

"Only?"

Elder Fire shook his head, "As an indigenous person from a secular planet, it was already astonishing that Ran Deng, the old monk, could develop eighty-five sacred meridians... At least, before Boone Lee was killed, besides him, I’ve never heard of a second indigenous person on Flame Yellow Star who developed more than eighty-two sacred meridians."

"Even Boone Lee only developed eighty sacred meridians... His son, Fire Boy, was slightly stronger, developing eighty-one sacred meridians," continued Elder Fire.

"Moreover, the quantity of sacred meridians only affects the speed at which power leaves the body and the burst of energy produced in an instant... One’s strength cannot be judged solely by the number of sacred meridians," Elder Fire finished in one breath.
