Chapter 150: 150 Never Give Up

After all, she must have run hundreds, nearly a thousand miles by now, her Qi almost depleted, her legs trembling with fatigue.

Mu Hanyan hadn’t given up though; dragging her legs as heavy as lead, she moved forward slowly but resolutely. Her consciousness, too, had begun to blur from extreme fatigue.

"I mustn’t give up, never give up," a voice echoed endlessly in her mind. Reborn as a human, this thought in her heart became incredibly firm—no matter the peril or dead end faced, even at life’s final moment, Mu Hanyan would never give up.

Finally, under that immense pressure, the last bit of Qi she had used to defend her entire body shattered violently, and that pure yet fierce power rushed uncontrollably into her meridians.

Immediately, Mu Hanyan felt a heart-piercing pain from the damage to her meridians, making her entire body shiver.

Yet, it was this excruciating pain that brought her somewhat muddled consciousness back to clarity.

She could not let this power destroy her meridians, for that would mean certain death. Mu Hanyan, enduring the bone-piercing pain, guarded her mental state and began to channel the Heavenly Heart Technique.

Just like managing floodwaters, it’s better to dredge than to dam. Faced with the immense and formidable power of the Dragon Blood Stone, it was impossible to block. The only option was to guide it—a person couldn’t just watch as her meridians were completely destroyed and then die a wrongful death, right?

Mu Hanyan didn’t want to end up like an insect trapped in amber; while amber with insects inside is valuable, replacing it with a little person might be worth even more. But what did its value matter to her?

As the Heavenly Heart Technique operated, Mu Hanyan, using the Concentrating Inner Vision, was surprised to discover a red stream of Qi flowing through her meridians following the route of her cultivation technique.

Originally, she thought it would be difficult to divert the power of the Dragon Blood Stone, but it turned out to be unexpectedly easy. Mu Hanyan suddenly remembered that her Heavenly Heart Technique was no longer the Mu Family’s inherited skills but a skill learned from the Star Illusion Thousand Machine. It was a continuation of the Heavenly Heart Technique, but far more profound and intricate, essentially an upgraded version of the Mu Family’s Heavenly Heart Technique, or perhaps a simplified version of it.

Fortunately, she had learned the Heavenly Heart Technique from Star Illusion Thousand Machine; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy with the Mu Family’s simplified version.

While feeling fortunate, Mu Hanyan also wondered, why did Star Illusion Thousand Machine have this cultivation technique? Could this treasure be related to the Mu Family? But when she had last confided in her father, he hadn’t mentioned anything about this.

Now obviously wasn’t the time to ponder these questions. Having temporarily resolved the immediate crisis, Mu Hanyan temporarily averted the danger, but another crisis was still looming.

The powerful force of the Dragon Blood Stone continued to pour into her meridians. Although she managed to gather this power by guiding it with the Heavenly Heart Technique, rapidly circulating it to avoid damage to her meridians, as the power grew stronger, her meridians could no longer contain it.

Mu Hanyan tried to unleash a sword strike but found that although she could control the power within the meridians, she couldn’t project it outward and couldn’t utilize it at all.

If she couldn’t find an outlet to release it, she would eventually be ruptured alive by this power.

Seeing the power pouring into her meridians growing stronger, and even though she was operating at full speed, her meridians were about to reach their breaking point, on the very edge of bursting. Mu Hanyan, who had calmed down a bit, was once again filled with immense anxiety.
