After the matter was over, Su Zimo no longer paid attention to the sect competition in the square. Gripping spirit stones in each hand, he calmed himself down to recover his spirit energy and adjust his state.
Although he exhausted his spirit energy and mental state to refine Blood Quencher this time round, his stagnant cultivation realm was showing signs of breaking through!
Right now, Su Zimo was at late-stage Foundation Establishment and was just a step away from perfected Foundation Establishment!
Close to noon, the weapon refinement segment ended and the rankings of the Weapon Ranking were out.
Although Xue Yi did not manage to leave his name on the Weapon Ranking, he gained some insights from watching Su Zimo's weapon refinement process and successfully refined a middle-grade spirit weapon as well – he was extremely excited.
In another ten years, he would have a chance to compete for a spot on the Weapon Ranking as well!
The jade pillar of the Weapon Ranking at the northwest corner shone with a mysterious and resplendent light as names appeared one after another – Su Zimo was at the top.
After the Weapon Ranking competition ended, the Talisman Ranking competition took a short break.
For the Talisman Ranking competition, Misty Peak sent out Leng Rou.
Leng Rou was not weak to begin with and was already a three meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator. She was even more talented in talismans and was the only person from Misty Peak who was confident of leaving her name on the Talisman Ranking this time round.
Indeed, after the Talisman Ranking competition ended, Leng Rou suppressed the crowd and her name was at the top of the jade pillar at the southwest corner of the Talisman Ranking!
To begin with, Leng Rou's appearance was cold and otherworldly, like a fairy that had descended to the mortal realm. Naturally, she attracted even more gazes of admiration now that she was at the top of the Talisman Ranking.
Xue Yi smiled. "Congratulations, Junior Sister Leng."
"Sister, you're amazing! Both you and bro managed to get first place!" Little Fatty raised his thumb and praised.
Leng Rou replied with an indifferent expression, as though the fact that she was number one of Talisman Peak did not cause much of a stir in her heart.
Chen Meng Qi did not know why, but when she saw this scene, she felt uncomfortable.
At the spectator area.
Many Perfected Jin Dan thanked and toasted Xuan Yi and Liu Hui one after another.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Double first place, as expected of Misty Peak."
Xuan Yi pretended to be reserved and said humbly, "You flatter me, you flatter me. It's all luck."
Although he said that, Xuan Yi's heart was already blooming with joy, and he felt that his face was glowing.
Liu Hui added, "We didn't bring many disciples with us this time round. There's no hope for us to get into the Elixir and Spirit Rankings after this."
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. Misty Peak has already taken first place in both rankings. After the Grand Competition, their name will be known throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Another Daoist Jin Dan hurriedly said.
In reality, Xuan Yi and Xuan Yi both knew that these Jin Dan Perfected Cultivators had come to express their thanks partly because of the Double Roll Champion, but mostly because of Su Zimo.
A portion of the cultivators still held the mentality of befriending a Tool Refiner who could refine a perfect Spirit Tool.
True Fire Sect had tried to assassinate Su Zimo multiple times. This was a grudge that was hard to resolve.
The feud between Perfected Being Cang Lang and Su Zimo was even deeper.
Sima Zhi and the others from True Fire Sect and Perfected Being Cang Lang of Iridescent Clouds Palace were expressionless. Occasionally, a cold glint would flash through their eyes as they looked at Su Zimo. Occasionally, they would exchange glances – no one knew what they were plotting.
Perfected Being Yun Shan of Southern Mountains Sect frowned in deep thought.
Right then, Su Zimo, who was initially resting with his eyes closed, shuddered all of a sudden. His aura surged and the spirit energy within his body surged, ready to burst out!
"Hmm?"
Everyone sensed something and turned to look.
He had broken through?
Perfected Foundation Establishment!
Xuan Yi and Liu Hui nodded in delight.
A moment later, Su Zimo's eyes were still closed. The spirit energy within his body surged, forming a storm that showed no signs of calming down. Instead, it was getting more intense!
"He's going to …"
"Unlock his spirit meridian directly!"
Throughout history, there were often monster incarnates who could make use of the momentum of their breakthrough to unlock a spirit meridian the moment they broke through to perfected Foundation Establishment.
Of course, it was extremely difficult and less than one in ten thousand people could unlock a spirit meridian at perfected Foundation Establishment.
Even those with heaven or variant spirit roots would find it difficult to do so unless they cultivated some unique secret skills.
Perfected Being Cang Lang's heart skipped a beat.
This was a rare opportunity. If he could secretly interrupt Su Zimo's breakthrough process, he would be able to deal a severe blow to the latter's foundation and his future cultivation path would be crippled!
As the name suggested, Foundation Establishment was the process of building one's foundation. It was extremely important and that was the reason why there was the saying of unlocking the eight meridians.
The more spirit meridians one unlocked, the more stable their foundation would be and the greater their chances of breaking through to Jin Dan. In fact, they might even be able to create a Jin Dan phenomenon.
If something went wrong during the Foundation Establishment process, half of their cultivation path would be crippled.
As Perfected Being Cang Lang pondered, the emperor suddenly waved his sleeves and pulled Su Zimo to his side along with his chair in front of everyone, placing him down gently.
Throughout the entire process, Su Zimo was not disturbed in the slightest.
The meaning of that action was clear – it was to tell those with ulterior motives to forget about targeting Su Zimo!
The emperor was expressionless as he looked towards Iridescent Clouds Palace.
Feeling guilty, Perfected Being Cang Lang retracted his gaze after making eye contact with the emperor.
Boom!
Suddenly, a dull thud sounded from Su Zimo's body. Under the cover of his green robes, a spirit meridian was faintly discernible and shone with a bedazzling brilliance.
It had only been dozens of breaths and he had already unlocked a spirit meridian!
Xuan Yi nodded silently.
That was the benefit of cultivating Ethereal Foundation Establishment. In the past, there were even people in the sect who unlocked two spirit meridians at the moment they broke through to perfected Foundation Establishment!
A look of admiration and relief flashed through the emperor's eyes as well as he nodded.
A moment later, Su Zimo's aura was still rising and his spirit energy surged through his spirit meridian like a tidal wave.
"This …"
"Is this lad going to unlock a second spirit meridian?"
"The three great secret skills of Misty Peak truly live up to their reputation."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of sounds echoed continuously from Su Zimo's body.
Indeed, his spirit energy was surging like a tidal wave with a frightening aura as it charged at the second spirit meridian!
Each time spirit energy surged, his meridians would expand.
The meridians in his body were like rivers.
If the initial spirit energy could only be considered as a stream, the expanded river would be a gushing river with a torrential aura!
Bang!
Another dull thud sounded.
The second spirit meridian was unlocked and appeared.
"It's done!"
Xuan Yi gripped his fists tightly and exclaimed softly.
The spirit energy within Su Zimo's body gradually calmed down and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden!
An even more terrifying aura burst forth and a third spirit meridian appeared beneath his green robes!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surging continued.
The restraint earlier on was merely to accumulate strength. Once the accumulation was over, he would charge at the third spirit meridian with an even stronger stance!
This time round, even Xuan Yi was dumbfounded.
Was he trying to unlock three spirit meridians in a single go?
The emperor opened his mouth slightly and a look of shock flashed through his eyes.
Gu Xi glanced over as well, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and curiosity.
What sort of a spirit root did Su Zimo have?
The spirit energy he cultivated was actually so pure and rich?
