At this moment, Zhang Xuan's zhenqi cultivation was at Great Sage 1-dan Introspective Convalescence realm consummation. He had read through all of the books and insights regarding breakthroughs in the Jiang Clan and Luo Clan, but everyone's method of achieving a breakthrough was different.
Therefore, he had read a lot of books, but he had never found a way to break through.
So far, he had killed several dozen Sempiternal realm experts consecutively, and most of them had brought him some cultivation techniques and insights. While it was completely different from the cultivation techniques of the human race, there was no doubt that the cultivation techniques of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be of great help to him in achieving a breakthrough.
After all, no matter how he looked at it, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe seemed to be far superior to that of humans.
After flipping through all of the storage rings, Zhang Xuan found several thousand books. He swiftly scanned through them before keeping them in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Correct!"
He compiled all of the books that he had read in the Jiang Clan and the Luo Clan.
Weng!
A new book appeared.
With a tap of his finger, the knowledge flowed into his mind, and Zhang Xuan closed his eyes.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's method of achieving a breakthrough to the Aureate God realm was much more complicated than that of humans. It required the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to channel their killing intent and draw on the power of the blood moon.
In other words, his previous thoughts were not valid.
Nevertheless, even though he didn't manage to form a Heaven's Path Divine Art, the other party's cultivation system did give him some inspiration.
"As the bloodline of a Saint Beast becomes purer, its prowess will rise. After reaching Great Sage, the distribution of the meridians of a Saint Beast is already somewhat similar to that of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"My body has been tempered by the Empyrean Heavenly Flame Tribulation, and it has already undergone the transformation of the Golden Body realm. In fact … it's even stronger than the average Golden Body realm cultivator! Speaking of which, all I need to do is to refine the meridians in my body a little and I should be able to achieve a breakthrough … "
There was a flash of light.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan had been tempered by the Empyrean Heavenly Flame Tribulation. His fleshly body and soul were much stronger than the average Golden Body realm cultivator. Since that was the case … the cultivation barrier facing him didn't exist at all!
In other words, as long as he changed the positions of his meridians and altered the essence of his life, he should be able to easily break through and reach a higher level!
He didn't need any cultivation method at all!
"Give it a try!"
Thus, Zhang Xuan sat down once more and drove his zhenqi three times with the aid of a treasure that harnessed spiritual energy, returning to his peak condition.
Back then, when he had helped Zhao Ya reconstruct her meridians, he had memorized the locations of the meridians. Going through it once in his mind, he gradually changed the locations of the meridians in his body.
The meridians were the foundation of the human body's cultivation. He didn't dare to change the meridians that connected the Dantian to the five viscera and six bowels. Instead, he first changed the meridians of the four limbs.
For ordinary people, even if they knew that altering their meridians could increase their strength, they still wouldn't be able to do so. This was because meridians were inherently irreversible. However, Zhang Xuan was different. He had cultivated Kong Shi's method of breaking through to the Great Sage realm. After experiencing the tempering of the Empyrean Heavenly Flame Tribulation, his life had already undergone a complete transformation.
This time, using the same method, Zhang Xuan turned his body into the Heaven and Earth, and as expected, he noticed that his meridians, which had remained motionless all this while, were slowly moving.
Rumble!
Concentrated killing intent gushed out from his body, turning him into an Otherworldly Demon in an instant.
This feeling was somewhat similar to when he had reconstructed Zhao Ya's meridians. Even though he didn't intentionally alter the attribute of his zhenqi, it still emanated the same aura as the Otherworldly Demons.
At this moment, even if he didn't disguise himself, Wu Shu and the others wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"It's indeed possible …"
If one were to compare his meridians to a river, he would be changing an ordinary river into a river. Not only did he have to deepen the river and widen the dikes, he also had to reduce the flow of the river and clear up the blockages.
As more and more meridians were altered, the energy in his body grew stronger and stronger, and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
While the Aureate Body realm might have seemed unreachable before, at this very moment, it felt as if he could take a step forward at any moment.
Soon, he was done altering the meridians of his four limbs.
After doing all of this, Zhang Xuan didn't rush into it. Instead, he rested for a moment to replenish the zhenqi that he lacked after altering his meridians. After which, he adjusted his condition to its peak before continuing.
At this moment, the meridians of his four limbs had become even wider. Zhenqi flowed freely through them, and it felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping across the ocean.
There were fewer impure meridians in his four limbs, so it was easier for him to alter them. However, the meridians of his dantian and five viscera were different. All of the smaller meridians were intertwined with one another, and the slightest carelessness could result in his zhenqi running amok. In the best case scenario, he would be paralyzed, and in the worst case scenario, his cultivation would go berserk.
Not daring to act recklessly, Zhang Xuan followed the steps strictly, altering his meridians bit by bit.
While he was trying to find a way to achieve a breakthrough to the Aureate Body realm, a group of guests had arrived at the Mingshi Tang headquarters.
They were Luo Ganzhen, Jiang Fangyou, and the others.
After entering the main hall, they took their seats.
"Are you here regarding the matter regarding the Subterranean Gallery?"
Ren Qingyuan asked.
"Indeed. It seems like something has happened to the Mingshi Tang headquarters as well. May I know if Ren shi is willing to share the details with us so that we can verify the authenticity of the news?"
Jiang Fangyou clasped his fist.
"Un." Ren Qingyuan nodded. "Yesterday, the Otherworldly Demons in the Mingshi Tang Subterranean Gallery were still charging ferociously, giving off the impression that they wouldn't give up until they had broken through the barrier. Who could have thought that … they would suddenly retreat at noon this afternoon, leaving behind only a small group to guard the area. The majority of the troops have vanished without a trace. We thought that it was a ploy by the other party to lure them in, but … an entire day has passed, and there is no sign of them at all. We sent out scouts to investigate, and we found that … the Otherworldly Demons have retreated back into the seal! Could it be that … the same situation has occurred in the Subterranean Gallery that you are guarding? "
"Indeed. The same situation has occurred in our Subterranean Gallery as well. The Otherworldly Demons have also suddenly retreated back into the seal, but we still don't know the exact reason behind it! "
Luo Ganzhen nodded in agreement. He turned to Jiang Fangyou and said, "However, for Brother Fangyou to call us here in such a hurry, I believe that you know something."
The reason why everyone had gathered at the Mingshi Tang headquarters was due to Jiang Fangyou's message.
"I do know a thing or two about it, so I hurriedly came here to discuss this matter with everyone!"
Jiang Fangyou said as he scanned his surroundings. Seeing that the Mingshi Tang headquarters was surrounded by seals, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing how serious Jiang Fangyou was, the faces of Ren shi and the others also turned grim.
"The Mingshi Tang should know that ever since the Otherworldly Demon Emperor who was capable of standing against Kong Shi passed away, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has been jointly managed by three top-notch experts!" Jiang Fangyou said.
"Un. I heard that Sovereign Chen Yong is the leader while Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing are his assistants. However, the three of them have always been wary of one another, and that gave us a chance to catch our breath. Otherwise, the Mingshi Tang wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long! "Ren shi nodded in agreement.
This news might have been a secret to the others, but it was nothing to the Mingshi Tang headquarters.
"Indeed, the three of them have been keeping one another in check. However, just this morning, I received news that Sovereign Chen Xing and Sovereign Chen Ling have suddenly announced an alliance!"
Jiang Fangyou's face darkened.
