Chapter 1647: Chapter 1640: The 2nd Round of Extremes
Hearing the words of the two, although still extremely worried, Hu Daoke managed to calm himself, nervously looking at Feng in the center of the Magic Array, who was in a miserable state.
Feng felt that her body had reached its limit. Although with Tangmo’s help earlier, she had also reached this kind of limit, she hadn’t expected that a breakthrough required surpassing this limit entirely.
She once thought this limit was the boundary between life and death, not realizing it was merely a threshold for a cultivator to break through the shackles.
She felt as if air was injected into her entire body, beginning to swell, her skin stretched tight with signs of cracking. She dared not open her eyes but kept them tightly shut, worried that if she opened them, her eyeballs would burst out.
Under the extreme pressure of the massive influx of magic, Feng slowly opened her mouth, but merely opened a tiny slit before immediately feeling the rush of a hot, metallic liquid. In an instant of distraction, blood sprayed from her mouth and nose, splattering onto the ground.
"Focus, stay concentrated, seal your seven apertures, don’t let your guard down, don’t get distracted, this is playing with your life, take it seriously!"
Huayu Ting continued to guide loudly, seemingly used to Feng’s miserable state, recalling that he likely suffered similar pains during his own breakthrough.
"Gather the Qiyun Zhoutian at the Qitian, prepare to break through!"
Huayu Ting was exceptionally precise in his timing, immediately realizing that Feng was about to hit her limit, so he instructed her to begin gathering the magic flooding into her body, forcibly opening up her meridians and Qitian.
Upon hearing his command, Feng clenched her teeth, pressing her palms together to allow the magic to flow through the acupoints in her palms to the other hand, forming a cycle.
She began guiding the magic within her body to distribute evenly. Although the meridians were tearing painfully, at least the prior swelling sensation gradually faded, and she no longer feared that she might explode at any moment.
When the magic gathered in the Dantian, the pain intensified. But Feng dared not make a sound, fearing it would cause a breach in defense. She could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Large beads of sweat continued to roll down her forehead, soaked with blood oozing from her capillaries, turning into completely bloody sweat.
Feng was entirely drenched, her large robe covered with red sweat stains, forming a bloody pool around where she sat, looking quite gruesome. It was hard not to worry that she might bleed to death like this.
"It’s coming, prepare, break!"
Huayu Ting seized the moment accurately and shouted when he saw Feng had reached the final limit.
At his command, Feng gritted her teeth, allowing the magic to fully pour into her eight extraordinary meridians, finally flooding into her Dantian. She felt her meridians being torn apart entirely, with nothing but a field of red before her eyes.
Her Dantian was forcibly expanded in an instant. Although the previous high-pressure feeling had disappeared, it was replaced by unbearable pain. This pain was worse than menstrual cramps. If not for the breakthrough, Feng would’ve probably rolled on the ground in agony long ago.
She felt like her entire body was bleeding, both externally and internally. After numbing to the pain, she surprisingly felt her mind go completely blank.
The magic continued to flood in relentlessly, flowing through her meridians. But at this moment, she had already become completely numb to this sensation, indifferent to pressure or pain, only feeling the magic flowing within her body with numbness.
And as for the Dantian in her abdomen, it had long become scarred due to the breakthrough. If it had a consciousness, Feng would surely feel it crying, shedding red tears.
"Very good, the first stage is completely broken through, prepare to enter the second stage." Huayu Ting nodded with satisfaction.
"Wait, do we do it consecutively, shouldn’t we let her rest a bit?" Hu Daoke couldn’t help but ask.
"No need, she can handle it," Huayu Ting shook his head and said, "Besides, once the array starts, it can’t be easily dispelled. If she can’t absorb and digest this energy, the gathered energy could crush us all to death."
"We can let this magic dissipate, and we can gather it again. If possible, I’d like to let her take a break, even if just to catch her breath," Hu Daoke implored.
"I fear she wouldn’t think that way," Huayu Ting said, gazing at Feng in the center of the Magic Array, in a miserable state.
"How do you know what she’s thinking!" Hu Daoke shouted impulsively.
"Little Ke, calm down," Tangmo couldn’t help but frown and advised.
"Sister Moumou," Hu Daoke yelled, disregarding courtesy toward Tangmo, "Even though you’re Feng’s guardian, it doesn’t mean you can make decisions for her. Can’t you see she’s crying!"
"Precisely because I am her guardian, I understand her better than you. At this point, she won’t give up," Tangmo stated calmly.
"How can you be like this too..." Hu Daoke exclaimed painfully.
"Old Hu," Cheng Ziang sighed, comforting loudly, "At this critical juncture, Feng won’t give up. Respect for personal choice has always been one of the basic principles of the Advance Team. We don’t know if Feng wants to stop, but based on what we know about her, she indeed is someone who doesn’t easily give up."
Actually, there’s another reason the Advance Team members might not quite understand, and that’s the effect of the elixirs.
In the week before the breakthrough, Feng had been taking various elixirs given to her by Huayu Ting daily to solidify her foundation, strengthen her meridians, and ensure she wouldn’t perish during the breakthrough.
If not for these elixirs as a solid foundation, Feng might have exploded on the spot during the attempted breakthrough.
The Advance Team completing the breakthrough ritual on their own was naturally fine, but the premise was that they had enough elixirs to nourish Feng, making it twice as effective with half the effort.
Elixirs, one could say, are the lifeline of a cultivator, an indispensable element of the East Continent cultivation system.
Huayu Ting invested a large amount of resources into Feng, with a significant portion being these elixirs.
These elixirs are often expensive, with many being top-quality ones obtained by Huayu Ting during his travels, yet he used them all on Feng so generously.
It was apparent that for Huayu Ting, the meaning of family far surpassed that of cultivation. The Advance Team helped him cultivate his child, and he reciprocated by using his elixirs to cultivate the team’s Feng.
"Redirect the energy, fill the meridian fields, repair internal injuries, prepare for the second round of breakthrough."
Huayu Ting no longer paid attention to Hu Daoke but focused intently on Feng in the center of the Magic Array, constantly giving guiding commands.
Thanks to his guidance, Feng, in a chaotic stage, knew what to do next. She followed Huayu Ting’s commands, beginning to let the magic flow through her expanded meridians and Dantian, repairing the cracks.
As the magic circulated, a gentle warmth filled her body, the feeling of magic healing her internal injuries.
This was a unique treatment method of the East Continent’s cultivation system, where cultivators could repair internal injuries by circulating magic. Unlike the mages of the Western Continent, once injured, they couldn’t channel magic.
The magic continued to flow down relentlessly, being injected into her body, with most of it being released by her, dissipating into the air. However, due to the outer circle’s magic-gathering array, this dissipated magic would be drawn from the air again, condensed, and spun to complete a cycle.
Feng guided the constant influx of magic to repair herself. Initially, she struggled to bear the relentless flow of magic, but now she seemed to have grasped some tricks, no longer panicking like before, but handling it with ease.
She precisely guided the magic through the parts of her body needing repair, filling her meridians with magic. Under her conscious guidance, her injuries were healing at an astonishing rate, a speed far surpassing Resurrection Magic.
This is understandable, given the completely different amounts of magic required for the two. However, the drawback is equally clear, as this repair method can only work on oneself. In contrast, Resurrection Magic, besides not being able to heal oneself, can save anyone, including animals.
