The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 476

Chapter 476: 472 Chapter 476: 472 Time slowly trickled by and Shen Luo had already repaired this one side-branch meridian more than thirty times. During the first ten attempts, meridians had broken before the ant-pattern could even pass the Feng Long acupoint on the side of his calf.

Despite making some progress afterward, when the ant-pattern reached the Feng Long acupoint but it invoked a strong rejection response from the body, causing the acupoint to explode before the ant-pattern could chew. This resulted in damage to the neighboring meridians which took Shen Luo considerable effort to repair.

After this, the process repeatedly ended in collapse. Even if the ant-pattern successfully resided within the acupoint, the flow of Yin Sha Qi was still rejected by the body's instincts.

The most extreme case resulted from stimulating an adjacent mana meridian, causing a mana sweep that led to chaos in the meridians of Shen Luo's leg, causing him to lose consciousness.

If it weren't for the protection of the Great Unsealing Technique to smooth out the meridians, Shen Luo's leg would have been crippled by now.

However, after numerous failures, Shen Luo's control over the ant-pattern and the infusion of Yin Sha Qi had become more adept. The multiple Feng Long acupoints in the side-branch meridians have been cleared, leaving only the final San Yin Jiao being on the verge of breakthrough.

At this moment, eyes closed tightly, clasping seal with his hand and maintaining the operation of the charm patterns on his leg with full force, a strand of ant-pattern at the San Yin Jiao acupoint is entangling the stored mana, making it hard to separate.

Shen Luo's brows were furrowed, signifying extreme pain. However, he was at a crucial juncture of the Yin Sha meridian opening and dared not slack off in the slightest.

“Go.”

Seeing an opportunity, he gave a soft shout in his mouth, and his sealing fingers suddenly pointed downwards. The Six Chen Whip hanging in front of him trembled abruptly, forming a Sha Qi silk thread that directly entered the San Yin Jiao acupoint following the ant-pattern.

There was a flash of light at the acupoint, half of the mana was expelled while the ant-pattern and Yin Sha Qi formed an equilibrium with the remaining mana. They were all fused together.

With the fall of this final barrier, the full assault of the Xuan Yin Vein Opening Technique finally started.

Shen Luo's leg was suddenly illuminated by a bright charm pattern. After a flash of bloodlight, it immediately shrank back, sinking gradually into the flesh and blood, turning into a light that covered the entire side-branch meridian.

On the side-branch meridian, black, red, and white lights shone simultaneously. Like a colorful ribbon rigidly trapped in-between, the light began to merge when it flickered.

With the last bit of light vanishing, the Yin Sha Qi finally completed its integration with the meridians.

At the same time, the charm pattern carved into Shen Luo's calf immediately burst into a bright white light, and a strange force permeated and covered the meridian amidst the flashing light patterns.

Shen Luo felt the miraculous power stirring his soul. He could feel that the Yin Sha Qi within his meridians, under the effect of the charm patterns, was dissipating bit by bit, and a new mana meridian was gradually forming.

Finally, with the complete transformation of the last bit of Yin Sha Qi, the side-branch meridian on Shen Luo's Yin Qiao Mai lit up with a layer of blue light, forming a transparent blue ribbon.

Shen Luo had a thought and his consciousness immersed into the meridian, he could clearly feel the mana flowing from the Yin Qiao Mai, slowly gathering into this new mana meridian.

With a slight prod, the mana gathered in this meridian immediately began to operate. After a brief comparison, he found that its width was not as large as the original twenty, and the flexibility was slightly different. Most importantly, the mana operation speed was slower. But fortunately, the effectiveness of mana storage was almost the same as that of normal mana meridians.

“Haha, it really works. In this way, the number of mana meridians can increase significantly,” Shen Luo exclaimed with joy.

Having said that, he closed his eyes and took a brief rest before continuing to work on the new mana meridians. He wanted to make the most of his time in the dream, gaining as much experience as possible with the Xuan Yin Vein Opening Technique, even if it consisted of more failures, it was all beneficial to him.

Only with a deeper understanding of the technique could he be more confident in reality to develop mana meridians. And only by increasing the number of his mana meridians, his cultivation qualifications could have a substantial improvement, and the speed of cultivation could be enhanced.

And only by speeding up the cultivation, improving the cultivation realm as soon as possible, could he eliminate the threat of lifespan depletion.

Under the support of this persistent mindset, Shen Luo entered a rather insane state of near non-stop Xuan Yin Vein Opening Technique training, meddling with over a dozen side-branch meridians to the point of breaking down over three hundred times.

The most dangerous of which was a side-branch meridian connecting to the Hand Jue Yin Pericardium Meridian, which after repeated breaks, accidentally caused reverse mana flow from the Heart Bag Meridian, clashing with the Yin Sha Qi stored within, leading to almost a do-or-die battle. It nearly affected Shen Luo's Hand Jue Yin Pericardium Meridian's critical acupoint.

Fortunately, Shen Luo activated the protection of the Huangting Technique at the crucial moment, combined with the Great Unsealing Technique to reform the broken meridian, preserving that side-branch meridian and stabilizing his Hand Jue Yin Pericardium Meridian.

However, with each attempt, he managed to open thirteen auxiliary mana meridians. Now, although he cannot confirm one hundred percent success in opening meridians, he has already gained plenty of invaluable experiences which has built his confidence in trying it out in reality.

After opening the thirteenth mana meridian, Shen Luo had to stop as golden light flashed within the Golden Tower again. He had to enter the Golden Tower again to continue challenged the Thirty-Six Heavenly Soldiers.

Practicing the Great Unsealing Technique and opening thirteen more mana meridians, Shen Luo's body now holds mana that far exceeds three times that of the average Late Mahayana Stage monk.

Besides, during his practice, he also pondered the process of fighting against all Heavenly Soldiers and deepened his understanding of various mystic arts and divine abilities. Using these, he defeated the remaining Heavenly Soldiers without much effort.

At this moment, holding the whip in one hand standing on the platform of the Combat Space, not far from him, a Heavenly Soldier in Silver Armor holding a Double Halberd, its light gradually dissipating, and finally turned into a ball of white light, flew into Shen Luo's divine soul.

“This is the last Heavenly Soldier then, it seems I can return,” Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself.

No sooner had the words fallen, a flash of light surrounded him, and he had already left that space, returning to the Golden Palace.
