Chapter 2813 — Breakthrough! Second Layer of Great Perfection!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao's injuries were truly too severe. At this moment he could not spare a thought to check on the Thunder Pig or the beautiful girl from before—he could only heal his own wounds first and worry about the rest afterward.
Once inside the jade pendant's space, Wei Zhao swiftly circulated the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, repairing the injuries within his body...
Time always crawls when one is healing, and Wei Zhao, still fretting over the safety of the Thunder Pig and the beautiful girl, could only keep quickening the circulation of his mantra, as fast as he possibly could, to restore himself quickly.
But what Wei Zhao had not expected was that the faster the mantra circulated, the faster it still became—like a car hurtling out of control at breakneck speed, faster and faster, until it was frighteningly fast! Wei Zhao hastily tried to slow the circulation of the mantra, yet though he tried, in truth the speed did not diminish in the slightest.
Moreover, Wei Zhao discovered that the vast energy true qi within the jade pendant's space was pouring into his body from every direction at extraordinary speed—and this sudden change gave him a violent start.
What was happening? He had only wanted to heal himself faster—why did it feel as though his mantra had run out of control? Could this be the prelude to qi deviation? Yet the sensation felt strangely familiar, as though he had encountered it before.
Endless energy true qi surged into Wei Zhao's body; in an instant he nearly felt as though he might burst apart, yet there was nothing he could do—he had already stopped the circulation of the mantra, but it was utterly useless.
Cold sweat broke out at once on Wei Zhao's forehead. What was going on? Had he truly gone into qi deviation? In a panic he asked, "Elder Jiao, what's happening? The energy true qi is out of control—what should I do?"
"What should you do?" Jiao Yazi glanced at Wei Zhao indifferently and said carelessly, "Isn't this perfectly normal?"
"Perfectly normal?" Wei Zhao was dumbfounded. He was nearly frantic with worry, yet Jiao Yazi spoke to him in such a calm tone—frightfully calm.
"Indeed. Aren't you about to break through? That's a good thing—why are you scaring yourself like that?" Jiao Yazi said mildly.
"What? Break through? But it's only been a few days since I reached the late Earth rank!" Wei Zhao was all the more stunned. He had only just broken through to the late Earth rank and had not yet touched the barrier of Great Perfection—how could he break through again? Was that not a little too fast?
"Who ever told you that you were about to break through the late Earth rank?" Jiao Yazi rolled his eyes and said, "I meant your Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art mantra. It is about to break through the second layer and advance to the Great Perfection of the second layer!"
"Pff—cough, cough..." Wei Zhao was so startled by Jiao Yazi's words that he nearly spat blood. He was about to ask further when a memory suddenly flashed through his mind—the scene of the first time he had entered the jade pendant's space. That was right; when he had broken through to the Great Perfection of the first layer, the sensation had indeed been very much like this.
No wonder it had felt familiar to Wei Zhao—it was the scene of his first mantra breakthrough. Only, it had been so long ago, and Wei Zhao had always broken through in cultivation level and never again in mantra, so he had simply overlooked it.
At this thought, Wei Zhao finally set his heart at ease and let the energy true qi from all around pour into his body.
