Beside her, Li Yanping sighed, but said nothing.
She glanced at Xu Zhou, deep in thought, wondering if she really had to let her daughter spend her life with this young man.
Though there were no legal or ethical issues... but this young man might not be willing, right!
...
After finishing the reunion dinner, everyone went their separate ways, and Zeng Kai followed Old Wang home.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhou returned to his own room.
"Finally, I can cultivate in peace." Xu Zhou took a deep breath.
He planned to make a breakthrough right here!
With Shen Wanchen secretly guarding, there would be no danger here.
At this moment, Xu Zhou was eager to immediately resolve the Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood within his body.
He sat cross-legged and took out the crystalline hexagonal object.
Earth Star Crystal!
Concerning the usage of this Earth Star Crystal, Xu Zhou had already learned from Yue Huarong’s memories.
When the Moon God Sect initially obtained this Earth Star Crystal, they spent many years researching to develop a secret technique that could harness the energy within.
"Buzz!"
Xu Zhou formed a seal with one hand and sent out a sigil, causing the Earth Star Crystal to shine brightly.
"Rumble!"
The Earth Star Crystal vibrated, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
With his other hand, Xu Zhou formed a seal, using a secret technique to communicate with the Earth Star Crystal.
Buzz!
Soon, the Earth Star Crystal floated and hovered in front of Xu Zhou’s chest, ready to release its energy with just a thought.
"Let’s begin." Xu Zhou looked hopeful and closed his eyes.
He looked inward at himself, seeing a golden barrier atop the pure white Daoist Lotus.
This golden barrier was formed by the Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood and was the "culprit" blocking the fusion of Xu Zhou’s acupoints!
Originally, Xu Zhou had no means to deal with it.
But today...
With a thought, the Earth Star Crystal in front of his chest burst with light, releasing strands of Chaos Qi, which entered Xu Zhou’s body.
These strands of Chaos Qi circulated through his body, reaching Xu Zhou’s Daoist Lotus.
Then, like meeting a long-time foe, the Chaos Qi charged directly towards the golden barrier.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the two clashed together.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
The Chaos Qi and the golden barrier were like oil and water, clashing fiercely and constantly sparking.
The Chaos Qi was wearing down the golden barrier!
During this process, streams of golden liquid separated from the golden barrier, falling into the Circulation Acupoints.
This golden liquid was the Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood, carrying an extremely aggressive nature, attempting to transform Xu Zhou’s organs into Dragon Clan organs.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, at that moment, the portals of the five viscera appeared.
Surging secret power from the heart fused with the Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood, emitting golden smoke.
"Just like before," Xu Zhou thought, "the secret power of the heart can purify this Ancestor Dragon Marrow Blood, stripping it of its transformative ability, leaving only its strengthening power."
The "purified" golden liquid fused into the heart.
Instantly, the heart throbbed violently.
The shadow of the divine skills seed within the heart’s portal continually absorbed the golden liquid, gradually solidifying.
"So fast!"
Xu Zhou looked at the divine skills seed, pleasantly surprised.
This golden liquid was clearly much more effective than the previous golden light.
In just a moment, the shadow of the divine skills seed showed signs of solidifying!
"Continue!"
Xu Zhou once again executed the secret technique, and the energy from the Earth Star Crystal surged forth.
Streams of golden liquid continued to merge into the Circulation Acupoints as the divine skills seed solidified further.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Half an hour later.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the golden barrier, and soon, like a breached dam.
With a loud rumble, the Chaos Qi completely shattered the golden barrier!
The golden barrier turned into a torrent of golden liquid, all merging into the Circulation Acupoints.
The barrier above the Daoist Lotus was finally broken by Xu Zhou!
At this moment, Xu Zhou didn’t even have time to check the state of the divine skills seed.
Because he knew, the next moment was crucial for breaking through to the peak of the Second Grade.
"Merge!" Xu Zhou shouted lowly.
Instantly, the twelve petals forming the pure white Daoist Lotus vibrated violently.
These twelve petals, composed of 360 acupoints, had been honed to the extreme.
The Circulation Acupoints seemed to have a consciousness, actively repelling.
Crucially, this repulsion felt familiar, as if the Circulation Acupoints were not only repelling the spiritual being but also his physical body!
The repulsion was subtle, unnoticed by Xu Zhou before.
But now magnified by the spiritual being, he discovered the Circulation Acupoints were like a foreign body within himself, not fitting in.
"The acupoints opened by a Martial Artist do not belong to oneself, only borrowing the energy within."
Xu Zhou recalled what Shen Wanchen had said before: "Cultivation in the Second Grade Realm is essentially establishing a link between the acupoint and the body, making the acupoint truly belong to oneself."
"No wonder each time using the Circulation Acupoints, I would be exhausted for a while."
Xu Zhou thought: "Now it seems, it doesn’t fully belong to me!"
"If I can truly merge it with myself, perhaps it wouldn’t be so exhausting to use."
"But... how to merge it with the body?"
Xu Zhou frowned.
It was his first time discovering such a problem, indeed quite tricky. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Can I forcibly merge them?" Xu Zhou pondered: "Might as well start with the spiritual being."
Right now, there was a suitable test subject.
After all, the Circulation Acupoints were highly repellent to the spiritual being, yet he could control the spiritual being to move close to the Circulation Acupoints.
Xu Zhou pondered for a moment, and soon, determination shone in his eyes.
He would start by experimenting with the spiritual being!
As the damage to the spiritual being wouldn’t affect him, it might even be beneficial.
"Go!"
He released the suppression on the golden spiritual being, directing it toward the Circulation Acupoints.
Instantly, an enormous repulsion was felt.
The golden spiritual being, resolute, moved step by step closer to the Circulation Acupoints.
With each step, the resistance increased exponentially.
After five steps, that repulsion reached terrifying levels.
After ten steps, cracking noises came from the golden spiritual being’s whole body, almost collapsing!
"Forward!"
The spiritual being silently roared, driven by Xu Zhou’s will!
Fifteen steps!
At that moment, a change occurred!
"Crack! Crack!!"
Upon taking the fifteenth step, cracks spread across the spiritual being’s surface.
Then, the entire spiritual being shattered like porcelain, collapsing with a crash!
