597: Chapter 597 108 Acupoints!!

Zhao Family.

Inside the Zhao Family's council hall, Patriarch Zhao Zhengyang stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the Family disciples below. His voice was low and firm: "The beast tide is attacking, and Qingyun City is in imminent danger. Our Zhao Family has lived in Qingyun City for generations; we shall live and die with the city! All disciples of the Fourth-Grade or above, follow me to battle!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of Zhao Family disciples shouted in unison, their morale high.

...

Qingyun Academy.

The Head stood in the plaza, looking at the young faces before him. A flash of reluctance crossed his eyes, but he spoke nonetheless: "You are the future of Qingyun City, but you are also its present. The beast tide is attacking; if the city falls, our homes are lost. All students of the Fourth-Grade or above, follow me to battle!"

...

Iron Blood Mercenary Group.

Captain Tie Xiong stood in the center of the camp, a giant axe resting on his shoulder. His voice rang out like a bell: "Brothers, it is time to work! Kill one Vicious Beast, and the bounty is doubled! Kill ten, and it is ten times the bounty! The more you kill, the more you earn!"

"Roar!"

The mercenaries cheered excitedly, grabbed their weapons, and rushed toward the city walls.

One force after another, one Family after another, mobilized. They formed teams and headed outside the city to provide support.

On the streets, the flow of people was like a weave, everyone moving in the same direction—the city wall.

...

Inside Wangyue Pavilion.

"Why hasn't Qin Yan arrived yet?"

Yin Li and the others were gathered, but Qin Yan was late to appear.

"I contacted Qin Yan, but I couldn't reach him," Huang Jiuli said.

She had sent several messages, but there was no response.

"I will go check his room," Huang Jiuli said, then walked toward Qin Yan's room.

She arrived at his door and knocked.

"Qin Yan, the beast tide is attacking the city. We should go."

From inside, Qin Yan's voice came: "You go ahead. I am currently in the middle of a Breakthrough. I will find you outside the city later."

Inside the room, Qin Yan sat cross-legged, blood qi erupting from his body, a vast power gestating within him.

His face was slightly flushed, fine beads of sweat trickling down his forehead; he looked like a volcano about to erupt.

For the past few days, he had been training continuously, pouring all the Skill Points he had obtained into the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture.

By this morning, his progress in the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture had finally reached 50%!

And upon reaching 50%, he had indeed felt the opportunity for a Breakthrough.

The Breakthrough to the Sixth-Grade Awakening Aperture Realm would be today.

Outside the door, Huang Jiuli raised an eyebrow upon hearing that Qin Yan was undergoing a Breakthrough.

This guy, his Breakthrough speed was a bit fast!

He had just broken through to the Middle Sixth-Grade in Qi Refining last month, and this month he was breaking through in Body Refining again?

This speed was not inferior to her own.

"Alright, then Cultivate peacefully. Come find us outside the city when you finish," Huang Jiuli said, then turned and left.

Her steps were light; she said nothing more.

A Breakthrough was a major event and could not be disturbed.

She returned to the others and briefly explained Qin Yan's situation.

"Breakthrough?"

Yin Li was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"Then let him Cultivate in peace. Let us go to the city walls first."

The four of them left Wangyue Pavilion and sped toward the outskirts of the city.

Inside the room, after Qin Yan sensed that Huang Jiuli had left, he circulated the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture with all his might!

His consciousness sank into his body, guiding all the blood qi and Devilish Qi within him to surge wildly through his thirty-six blood demon martial veins.

Those martial veins were like rushing rivers, the blood-red blood qi and the jet-black Devilish Qi intertwining, flowing rapidly through his Meridians and emitting a low, rumbling sound.

Above the martial veins, apertures slowly emerged—they had originally been hidden deep within the martial veins, invisible to the naked eye. Now, driven by the Cultivation Technique, they appeared one by one like stars, then gradually faded back into the martial veins.

These were the apertures, the core of the Sixth-Grade Awakening Aperture Realm in Body Refining.

Every Martial Artist opened a different number of apertures depending on the Cultivation Technique they cultivated.

The more apertures, the thicker the Foundation, the greater the potential, and the stronger the combat power.

Ordinary Martial Artists who cultivated common Body Refining techniques would only have thirty-something apertures.

Those who were more skilled and cultivated profound grade Cultivation Techniques might reach forty or fifty apertures; these were already the best among ordinary Martial Artists.

Most Prodigies in the Holy Land cultivated tiangang - exquisite grade Cultivation Techniques, opening even more apertures, enough to reach over sixty.

Further up were the Special Grade Disciples; they almost all cultivated top-tier Cultivation Techniques, and the number of apertures they opened could reach seventy, or even over eighty!

And his Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture was even more terrifying—it could open a full 108 apertures!

108!

Among them, 106 were basic apertures, scattered across the thirty-six blood demon martial veins throughout his body, with two to four apertures on each martial vein.

Plus one blood aperture and one dark aperture located deep in the heart; these were the two most powerful apertures in the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture, containing all sorts of mysteries.

Qin Yan did not hesitate; he took out an Awakening Aperture Pill and swallowed it.

The Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, turning into a warm medicinal force that flowed slowly along his martial veins.

The medicinal force was like a small stream, weaving through the blood demon martial veins; wherever it passed, the originally hidden apertures began to slowly emerge one by one.

The Awakening Aperture Pill had a simple function—it allowed the hidden apertures in the body to awaken and appear.

Without the Awakening Aperture Pill, if a Martial Artist wanted to find the apertures, they could only use blood qi to scour the martial veins over and over, like looking for a needle in the ocean; the efficiency was extremely low, and it was time-consuming.

One Awakening Aperture Pill could save months or even years of hard work.

"Found you!"

Qin Yan's consciousness locked onto an aperture that had just emerged.

That aperture was like a tiny vortex, slowly rotating on the martial vein, emitting a faint light.

He did not hesitate, and all the blood qi and Devilish Qi he had accumulated surged out like two giant Dragons, enveloping that aperture!

The blood qi was scarlet, the Devilish Qi was jet-black; the two forces intertwined, surrounding the aperture and beginning to scour it fiercely!

The aperture had originally been colorless, like a sleeping infant lying quietly within the martial vein.

But under the scouring of the blood qi and Devilish Qi, it began to slowly awaken, shifting from colorless to blood-red and black!

Half blood-red, half black—the color of the blood demon.

Time passed slowly during the scouring.

Half an hour later.

"Boom—!!!"

Inside Qin Yan's body, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted!

The blood qi around his body suddenly dispersed, shaking the tables and chairs in the room slightly!

Qin Yan's Mental Energy sank into his body. He saw that on one of the blood demon martial veins, an aperture was firmly embedded, like a pearl on the martial vein.

That aperture presented two colors—half dark as an abyss, half blood-red as rosy clouds; the two colors intertwined, emitting an eerie and powerful aura.

"The first blood demon aperture has finally been successfully opened."

The successful opening of the blood demon aperture meant that Qin Yan had finally stepped into the Sixth-Grade Awakening Aperture Realm!

From this moment on, he was no longer at the Peak of the Meridian Opening stage, but a true Awakening Aperture Realm Martial Artist!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan immediately opened his panel to check!
