Chapter 3547 — Breakthrough! Ascension to the Heavenly Way!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Suddenly Wei Zhao felt as though his body and meridians were about to explode! This mnemonic, it seemed, was not something his present strength could master; the agony was such that even an expert of Wei Zhao's caliber—a Heaven-rank great perfection master—could scarcely endure it!
Wei Zhao judged his own endurance to be formidable enough, yet at this moment he still could not help feeling as though he were about to die! But the process of cultivation was exceedingly long; even if the pain was unbearable, Wei Zhao could only continue!
He did not believe there could be anything wrong with this mnemonic—after all, it had been converted through the universal mnemonic. It was only that the process was truly tormenting!
This agony lasted a full stick of incense's worth of time; by now Wei Zhao was drenched in sweat from the pain, and only then did it gradually weaken. And just as Wei Zhao thought he had adapted to this wholly new mnemonic and could breathe easy, something within his body suddenly gave a violent shudder, as though in a trance.
It felt as if a true-qi bomb had exploded inside him; then he sensed a boundless, majestic potency released in an instant, spreading throughout his body, ceaselessly transforming into true qi of the utmost purity and merging into the meridians everywhere.
Wei Zhao had thought that, as a master of great perfection at the peak of the late Heaven rank, the true qi within him was already abundant; but only now did he realize that he had been a frog in a well. For under the working of this mnemonic, in the span of a few short breaths his true qi had already surged by more than double, and even now it continued to rise!
Even taking Qi-Gathering Pills would likely produce no such wondrous and tremendous effect!
After his true qi had surged for a time, Wei Zhao soon touched that same barrier he had encountered before each of the great grades—Heaven, Earth, Mystery, Yellow. His state now was like a bottle already filled with water: pour in more, and it would only spill from the mouth; the water within the bottle would not increase by even a fraction.
And if he wished to rise to a higher level, there was only one way—to switch to a larger bottle!
This should be the critical moment of breakthrough! Yet Wei Zhao seemed always to feel that something was missing, that he could not get past it! He had no larger bottle, but he knew that if the flow of water were fierce enough, the bottle would burst!
No—he must strive! Wei Zhao suddenly thought of Wang Xinyan beside him; he pulled her into his arms and held her close!
At that moment, from some unknown place, a tremendous force suddenly gathered and rose within Wei Zhao, rushing with incomparable tyranny through every meridian; wherever its power passed, the meridians, great and small alike, visibly swelled by a full measure. And at the same time, that faint barrier he had touched began slowly to dissolve.
"So this is breaking through the barrier?" The process went so smoothly that even Wei Zhao found it hard to believe, yet the vast true qi still rising rapidly within him plainly showed that the barrier had indeed been burst by that sudden tremendous force!
After breaking through the barrier, Wei Zhao could clearly sense that the true qi within him, whether in purity or in abundance, had visibly surged by a measure compared with before. (Some readers raised the question of Tang Zhi's breakthrough to great perfection; in fact, the Fishman had passed over Tang Zhi's entry into the jade pendant to cultivate in a single stroke, but since everyone felt it was not detailed enough, the Fishman added some content in Chapter 3542, which readers may revisit.)
