Just like that, Wutian stayed in the Valley of Ice. On one hand, he wanted to see what the Valley Master wanted to do with Han Tian. On the other hand, he began to cultivate day and night.
However, according to Han Tian, the Valley Master didn't make things difficult for him. He only asked about his background and experiences before letting him leave.
Thus, Wutian was able to relax and focus on cultivating.
As for the little guy, he was nowhere to be seen. Today, he went to this person's house to cause a ruckus. He carried the baby to the snow mountain, causing the adults to be extremely worried. The next day, he went to another person's house to walk around. In the end, all the valuable things were gone.
Thus, all of them complained. However, because he was the Valley Master's guest, they only scared him away and didn't really do anything.
However, according to the little guy's personality, how could he compromise so easily? After two months of torment, the people of the Valley of Ice finally couldn't take it anymore and started to fight. In the end, they were defeated.
The little guy's strength was close to the Hundred Dynasties Stage. He was practically invincible among the younger generation. Thus, every time someone went to find trouble with him, they would run away in a sorry state. The upper echelons of the Valley of Ice also didn't appear. As long as it didn't harm their lives, they didn't care. Moreover, they could use this opportunity to train the younger generation.
Then, the little guy became the Little Demon King. He also gained a group of little brothers. The oldest of these little brothers were eleven or twelve years old. The youngest had just learned how to walk. They bit on their milk bottles and staggered with every step. They were on the verge of collapsing as they cried out.
"Long live the Little Demon King. We pledge our lives to follow the Little Demon King."
"My poor child, please don't be led astray by the Little Demon King." A beautiful woman in green looked at the last two or three year old baby. He was struggling to walk, but he was still shouting loudly. She was incomparably worried that the little guy would lead him astray.
"Isn't that so? My little brat never dared to talk back to me before. Now that he's followed the Little Demon King, his temper has grown. Sometimes when I look at him, I feel like giving him a few slaps. What a sin!"
"My little girl is not the same. She used to be gentle and learned the four arts. But now, the four arts have long been thrown to the sky. Moreover, she is careless, no different from a boy. Last time, I saw her fighting with Old Li's Huzi. I'm really worried about whether she can get married in the future."
The women spoke one after another, narrating the little fellow's crimes.
This morning, Wutian went to an iceberg alone. He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. After two months of practice, he had opened up twenty-five Meridians in his arms. He only needed five more to break through to the Initial Completion Stage.
There were a total of ninety-nine meridians in a person's body, covering the entire body. There were fifteen on each arm, fifteen on each leg, fifteen on the chest, fifteen on the back, and the remaining nine on the forehead.
Every time a meridian was opened, one's strength would increase explosively. With the foundation of the ninety-nine peak of the Rebirth Stage, Wutian's current strength had reached two hundred thousand. He was only ninety thousand thousand away from the Extreme Realm of the Channel Opening Stage.
Two hundred thousand strength was a terrifying number for a Channel Opening Stage practitioner. Looking at the entire Azure Dragon Continent, the number of people who could reach such a stage could be counted on two hands.
This was the benefit of having a strong foundation. If Wutian had not broken through to the Extreme Realm of the Rebirth Stage, his current strength would only be one hundred and twenty thousand.
His strength was increasing explosively, but the improvement of his physical body's defense was extremely slow. Currently, he only had a strength of one hundred and seventy thousand jin. Moreover, this was in an environment with such dense water elements.
However, for a Channel Opening Stage practitioner to reach such a stage was extremely difficult and terrifying!
The water elements had healing properties, so for others, it could not temper the body. However, for Wutian, it was no different from ordinary essence. It could still temper the body.
Sometimes, he felt very strange. Why was his body able to do things that others could not? Why was it so?
He had guessed that his body was some kind of special physique, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. If it was really some kind of special physique, then it was impossible for him to not be able to cultivate for the past sixteen years.
Therefore, he suspected that it was because of the mysterious object on his forehead. That was because when he first met Little Tian, the mysterious object had appeared for the first time. Since then, he had been able to cultivate. Moreover, he did not have an elemental body, but he could absorb elemental energy.
"Hu"
Opening his eyes, Wutian spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. He was full of energy and his face was glowing. This time, he planned to attack the remaining five meridians and reach the thirtieth meridian. From there, he would break through to the Small Completion Stage. Therefore, he had to make sufficient preparations.
Mental strength was the most important. He found that after opening his meridians, not only did he need a huge amount of essence, he also needed sufficient mental strength.
Previously, when he was opening the twenty-fifth meridian, there was still a lot of Profound Qi left in his qi sea. However, Wutian felt powerless. This was because he had exhausted his mental strength and was unable to concentrate.
Next was the blood. There were still three months before the Hundred Sect Competition. Excluding the one month he needed to rush back, he only had two months left. In these two months, he had to do his best to increase his strength. Although the Great Venerables had promised to destroy the Yan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect, there were still some things that he had to deal with himself.
He had his own plans!
Therefore, consuming blood was the fastest shortcut. One drop could open a meridian. At that time, he had obtained fifteen drops. He had used two drops to kill Chi Mu and the Three Headed Ferocious Ape. He had given four drops to Han Tian and four to Chu Yiyan. He still had five drops left.
Five drops were just enough for him to break through to the Small Completion Stage!
As for Chu Yiyan's four drops, he did not touch them. He did not even touch his mustard seed bag. That was because after she revived, he wanted her to continue from the moment she died to prove that she had never left and had always existed.
Next was the essence. Although there was an endless amount of water elemental energy here, the speed of absorption was not as fast as the speed of consumption.
However, he did not lack essence. The beautiful woman threw him a mustard seed bag with a total of one hundred thousand essence. He could not help but sigh. The Asura Palace was really rich, they were so generous.
Taking out five drops of blood, Wutian threw them all into his mouth. Then, he quickly took out a thousand essences and placed them beside him. After that, he closed his eyes and began to break through.
The blood melted in his mouth, its fragrance seeped into his throat, making him feel comfortable.
The five drops of blood were only the size of a pea. It was not even worth looking at, but the effect was extremely powerful. Wutian felt as if there was a vast ocean crashing into his body. Even with his current body's defensive power, he still felt an intense pain.
"Buzz!"
His clothes could not withstand such a powerful energy and were torn apart. Pieces of cloth danced in the air, revealing the fifteen meridians under the skin of his left arm. They were like giant earthworms, twisting and wriggling under his skin!
There were also ten meridians on his right arm. Just like his left arm, they were as thick as a finger. They went from his palm to his arm to his shoulder, and finally pierced into his Qi Sea.
White light flickered, it was dazzling. At this moment, his two arms were like two bright lamps, illuminating the path ahead.
Suddenly, Wutian's eyebrows furrowed. There seemed to be an intense pain between his brows. Just as this pain appeared, the meridians that were glowing with white light were suddenly dyed with a faint layer of blood red.
With a glance, one would think that these were not meridians, but blood vessels on the verge of bursting. And the cause of all this was the blood.
"Humph!"
With a muffled groan, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The energy contained in the blood was too great. Wutian's body was like a tsunami, his blood was surging, and he couldn't help but bleed.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a blood vein emerged from his right arm. Inside it, a faint blood Qi was shuttling back and forth. This was the energy of the blood, it was expanding and refining his meridians.
The originally small meridians gradually swelled and squirmed. A heart-wrenching pain suddenly swept over like a tide, drowning Wutian.
Blood once again flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Wutian's face twitched, but he quickly calmed down. To open up the meridians, one needed to be calm and not the slightest bit impatient. Otherwise, it would be easy to give up halfway. It was even possible that the meridians would shatter, and from then on, one's cultivation realm would no longer be able to advance.
There was an orderly flow that controlled the energy of the blood. It slowly flowed through the meridians, and the meridians continued to expand. Although it was not very violent, there were signs of rupture. However, under the healing of a large amount of water elements, it quickly healed.
After half an hour, in the cold world of ice and snow, Wutian's skin was covered with beads of sweat, mixed with strands of blood. One could imagine how he had spent this half an hour.
Effort and reward were equal. After half an hour of hard work, the twenty-sixth meridian had already connected to the Qi Sea, blooming with a blood-red light.
However, he still could not relax. He continued to urge the energy of the blood to attack the twenty-seventh meridian. The pain from before came again, and it became more and more painful. When he opened the thirtieth meridian, the pain almost made him faint.
"Boom!"
A strong force broke out of his body, and the blood essence in his body exploded, turning into pure Profound Qi. As his pores opened, the Profound Qi surged into his body.
Nearly a thousand blood essences exploded at the same time. The density of the Profound Qi was unimaginable. The Qi Sea that was calm a moment ago was like a tsunami sweeping over. The viscous Profound Qi rolled over and over, and then quickly condensed into drops of Profound Qi.
If there were other people here, they would be extremely shocked. Wutian's body was like a balloon, quickly expanding. Countless blood arrows shot out from his pores, as if there was a peerless ferocious beast sealed in his body, and at this moment, it was about to break out.
However, Wutian clenched his teeth and urged the Profound Qi, which was like a silver foil, to slowly flow into the thirtieth meridian. When the Profound Qi and the energy of the blood essence converged together, it immediately displayed a strong effect.
The meridian quickly expanded, broke, and healed, and so on!
The heart-wrenching pain completely drowned him, but Wutian did not even frown. Compared to the death of his grandfather, compared to the death of his sweetheart, this pain was nothing.
Time flew by and noon arrived. Smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys in the Valley of Ice, floating towards the blue dome of heaven like clouds.
Opening the thirtieth meridian was far more difficult than opening the previous twenty-nine meridian. Wutian had been sitting cross-legged on the ground for a long time. The pain tormented him for a long time, and made him sweat like rain. Then, the sweat quickly froze, and the lower half of his body was buried in the ice!
Puff!
At this moment, Wutian's body suddenly trembled, and he continuously spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Then, he opened his eyes. His eyes did not dim because of the blood he spat out. Instead, they emitted a bright light.
After wiping off the blood, Wutian looked at the thirty meridians on his arms, which were shining brightly. He suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura suddenly shot up to the sky. The ice within a radius of ten zhang suddenly exploded, and in a flash, turned into white fog, and dispersed into the air!
"The energy of the blood essence and one thousand pieces of Profound Qi are just enough for me to break through to the Minor Completion Stage."
Wutian slightly frowned. The amount of resources needed to break through to the next stage was too much. Just breaking through to the Minor Completion Stage had already consumed so much. Then, how much more would be needed to break through to the Dacheng Stage, the Perfect Stage, and even the Hundred Dynasties Stage?
"However, with the help of the Asura Palace, I don't have to worry about the lack of resources for now!" Wutian murmured.
Then, he took a step forward and quickly disappeared into the glacier.
