184: Chapter 184 The First Gate of the Three Jiaos
"Fill it up!"
The moment this order, filled with the aura of a nouveau riche, echoed in Wang Pingan's mind, the system's voice also resounded accordingly.
【Order confirmed.】
【Deducting pay-to-win points: 8,000,000.】
【Realm advancement... starting!】
Boom—!!!
A torrent of golden energy, countless times more majestic, vast, and terrifying than any point-addition he had experienced before, exploded without warning in his dantian qi sea!
At that moment, Wang Pingan felt that his body was no longer just a body, but a bottomless black hole being frantically injected with stellar energy!
His meridians, which had just broken through to the Sixth-Rank Early Stage and undergone initial reinforcement, were forcibly widened, reinforced, and reshaped in an unreasonable manner under the scouring of this terrifying energy that could destroy the world!
His bones, already comparable to top-tier alloys, began to emit a brilliant luster, as if cast from gold, under the nourishment of this energy!
His internal organs, every inch of his flesh and blood, and every cell were undergoing an earth-shattering, fundamental transformation under the influence of this unimaginably vast Life Law source energy!
The whole process was no longer painful, but an indescribable, extreme pleasure, as if his soul was about to sublimate!
On the system panel before his eyes, the five basic attributes representing his strength began their wildest, most terrifying surge in history!
【Strength: 2000.1】 【speed: 2000.1】 【Physique: 2000.1】 【spirit: 2000.1】 【recovery: 2000.1】
...
【Strength: 4000.0】 【speed: 4000.0】
...
【Strength: 6000.0】 【speed: 6000.0】
...
The speed at which the numbers jumped was so fast that they had completely turned into a blur of golden afterimages constantly rolling upwards!
Wang Pingan could clearly feel that his body was frantically growing stronger in a way that completely violated all Life Law and martial arts principles!
He could clearly feel that the blood qi in his dantian qi sea, originally like an ocean, was expanding at a terrifying speed toward a boundless, true cosmic sea of stars!
【recovery: 3000.0】 【blood qi value: 30000/100000】
【recovery: 4000.0】 【blood qi value: 40000/100000】
And just as the power within his body was surging wildly, a terrifying energy fluctuation, indescribable and vast enough to make the entire Heaven Character Number One Villa area tremble, began to uncontrollably leak out from his body!
Hum—!!!
The Heaven Character Number One Villa, with its top-level energy shield that was claimed to be able to withstand a full-strength strike from a Seventh-Rank Grandmaster, shone brilliantly at this moment!
It seemed to have received some kind of extremely terrifying internal impact!
The entire shield was flickering violently and frantically, emitting an unbearable, shrill alarm sound!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
【Alarm! Alarm! Detected an ultra-high intensity, unknown energy source inside Heaven Character Number One Villa!】
【Energy index is skyrocketing geometrically!】
【Shield energy reserves are dropping rapidly! 90%... 80%... 70%...】
This sudden, highest-level alarm that rang throughout the entire Heaven Character Number One Villa area instantly shocked everyone!
"F*ck! What's going on?!"
"Is it an enemy attack? Has an enemy broken into our Xuanyuan University?"
"Impossible, right? Who the hell is so suicidal that they dare to come here and cause trouble?"
In the villa area, those top geniuses who were in seclusion in their respective "palaces" were all startled out of their cultivation states by this shrill alarm.
They all rushed out of their villas, looking up at the source of the sound.
Heaven Character Number One!
That legendary palace belonging to the "Great Demon King" Wang Pingan!
At this moment, that palace was completely enveloped by a mass of incomparably brilliant golden light, so dense it was almost tangible!
A terrifying pressure that made them unable to even stand steadily, or even breathe, was continuously radiating from that mass of golden light!
"This... is this... Captain's aura?!"
"He... what is he doing? Is he... breaking through?!"
"Are you kidding me?! How long has it been? Didn't he just show Sixth-Rank Early Stage strength at the invitational tournament? How is he breaking through again?!"
"And... this commotion is too big, right?! Is this really a breakthrough? Why do I feel like he detonated a nuclear bomb inside?!"
Everyone's faces were filled with an indescribable, extreme shock and fear!
And just at this moment, inside the Heaven Character Number One Villa, Wang Pingan's body finally reached the first critical point of this "point-addition"!
His five basic attributes all steadily stopped at the number "5000.0"!
And the total amount of blood qi in his body reached a shocking 50,000 points!
This already surpassed the vast majority of Sixth-Rank Mid-Stage martial artists!
However, this was just the beginning!
Because what he was about to do was to impact the most important barrier for a Sixth-Rank martial artist: closing the three jiao gates!
The so-called three jiao are not physical organs, but the three largest energy hubs in the human body used to connect blood qi, spirit, and life force.
The upper jiao governs the spirit, located at the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows.
The middle jiao governs blood qi, located at the Danzhong.
The lower jiao governs life force, located at the dantian qi sea.
Only by completely closing and refining these three "portals," and preliminarily fusing spirit, blood qi, and life force into one, reaching the realm of "Essence, Qi, and spirit" unity, can one truly step into the threshold of the Sixth-Rank Peak!
And now, what Wang Pingan wanted to do was to impact the first gate: the upper jiao gate!
"Open... for me!"
Wang Pingan let out a silent roar in his heart!
He guided the massive torrent of energy that had accumulated to a terrifying level within his body, without reservation, entirely toward his ancestral aperture between the eyebrows!
Boom—!!!
His spiritual sea of consciousness completely boiled at this moment!
The vast, boundless purple sea of stars, evolved from the "Senluo Illusion Realm" and filled with mysterious and eerie aura, began to rotate and compress frantically at an unprecedented speed!
And that monstrous purple giant eye, suspended in the center of the sea of stars, filled with indifference and condescension, suddenly lit up at this moment!
A purple divine light, brilliant to the extreme, as if it were about to pierce through the entire universe, shot out from that giant eye, smashing fiercely into the deepest part of his spiritual sea of consciousness!
Onto that mysterious "portal" that was ethereal yet real, connecting his spirit and soul!
