205: Chapter 205 Rebuilding the Meridians

The setting sun dipped below the horizon.

At this moment, it should have been a time for weary birds to return to their nests and for all beasts to lie dormant.

However, the scene in the Black Stone Mountain range was completely the opposite; under the residual energy from the clash between the two Hedao Realm experts, rocks shattered and forests were reduced to ash.

Many birds and beasts were forced to abandon their nests and migrate.

Even those who had originally been lurking nearby, prepared to kill and seize treasures, all fled far away.

Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia had been locked in fierce combat from when the sun was high in the sky until it set behind the western mountains; the two were like needles against wheat awns, neither willing to yield.

By this time, neither knew how many bottles of Medicinal Pill they had consumed or how many Spirit Stone they had absorbed.

One could see that the area around them was covered in Spirit Stone fragments and empty bottles that had contained Medicinal Pill.

"Hehe!"

"Ding Skinless, why aren't you popping Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone anymore? Where did that ruthless energy go, the kind where you were guzzling whole bottles of Medicinal Pill and exploding handfuls of Spirit Stone?"

"I'm afraid the Spirit Stone and Medicinal Pill you had on you have already been squandered, haven't they?"

After casually pulling out a bottle of Rank 2 Medicinal Pill and dumping them into his mouth, Dongfang Lai said with a sneer.

"Old Dog Dongfang, this bottle of Medicinal Pill you just took probably isn't even enough for you to unleash a single basic attack, is it?"

"You still have the face to talk about me? As a dignified Dao Integration Realm Cultivator, you've actually been reduced to taking Rank 2 Replenishing Yuan Pills; don't you feel ashamed?"

Glancing coldly at Dongfang Lai, Ding Chunxia said with a look of disdain.

"Hmph!"

"That's still better than you, only able to use your turtle shell to take hits head-on. At least this seat still has Medicinal Pill to pop!"

Throwing the empty bottle in his hand at Ding Chunxia, Dongfang Lai said in an icy tone.

"Old Dog Dongfang, do you really have to fight me to the death?"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you; I just don't want to waste high-grade Medicinal Pill on you!"

After shattering the empty bottle thrown by Dongfang Lai with a punch, Ding Chunxia responded viciously.

"Enough with the nonsense! Seven days from now, at this very time, will be the day of your funeral!"

Before the words had even faded, Dongfang Lai charged at Ding Chunxia once again.

The battle between the two broke out once more.

"Grandpa Tie, why did you bring me here? Is it just to watch two old geezers fight?"

At this moment, not far from Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia, two figures were hidden in the Void Realm.

These two figures were none other than Yan Qingying and her guardian, Tie Yunhai.

"Battles between Hedao Realm Cultivators are not common. Young Miss, you should focus on watching; if you can glean any insights from their fight, you will benefit for a lifetime."

Looking at Yan Qingying with doting eyes, Tie Yunhai said softly.

The massive commotion caused by the fight between Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia hadn't just attracted Tie Yunhai and Yan Qingying.

Lin Feiyu was also currently hiding in the Void Realm, peeking at the great battle between the two.

Prodigies like Ye Xuan and Lin Guiwan, who lacked the ability to traverse the Void Realm, were also hiding a little further away, observing in secret.

...

Under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame, the Silver-Maned Nine-Headed Lion and the Raging Flame Demon Bear stopped and went along the way, constantly confirming their direction.

At this moment, the two beasts were less than a hundred li away from Black Stone Mountain.

"That Human Race brat really did go to the Sages Grotto-Heaven on Black Stone Mountain. It's a pity we didn't run into him two days ago!"

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame was still pointing toward Black Stone Mountain, the Silver-Maned Nine-Headed Lion spoke up.

"It's not too late to find him now. Let's continue on our way."

With that, the two beasts continued to rush toward Black Stone Mountain.

"Caw, caw!"

A moment later, a massive flock of birds suddenly flew toward the two beasts in a panic from directly ahead, followed by a herd of beasts stampeding in this direction.

"A beast stampede!"

"Could something major have happened at Black Stone Mountain?"

Seeing this, the Raging Flame Demon Bear said in surprise, and the two beasts quickened their pace.

As Sixth-Ranked Demonic Beast, they were very familiar with the habits of beast herds.

Unless something life-threatening occurred, beast herds generally would not initiate large-scale migration actions.

A quarter of an hour later, the two beasts arrived near the Black Stone Mountain range.

"So it was a fight between Human Cultivators that caused the beast stampede."

Just as they approached the Black Stone Mountain range, the two beasts sensed the residual energy from the battle between Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia.

"Judging by these waves of residual energy, the people fighting have at least reached the Hedao Realm."

"If it's truly just the Hedao Realm, that's fine; we have nothing to fear. If it's a Cultivator above the Hedao Realm, then we'll be in trouble."

Glancing into the depths of Black Stone Mountain, the Silver-Maned Nine-Headed Lion said in a deep voice.

"To avoid unnecessary complications, let's hide first. We'll enter Black Stone Mountain after they leave."

The Raging Flame Demon Bear immediately made the decision.

Because the distance was too great, the two beasts could not detect how many Cultivators were involved in the fight, nor did they know the specific cultivation level of those fighting.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, they lay in wait on the outskirts of Black Stone Mountain.

At the same time.

Yun Chenfei and Tie Yueshan had long since sensed the fight between Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia.

It was just that the cave where the two were hiding was still some distance away from where they were fighting, so it wouldn't affect them for the time being.

At this moment, Yun Chenfei's Meridians were being remolded in an orderly fashion.

And the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame within his body, under the step-by-step pressure of the Primordial Purple Qi, no longer had the violent energy it had at the beginning.

As long as the Primordial Purple Qi could suppress the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame and keep it from continuing to destroy Yun Chenfei's Meridians and internal organs, this crisis could be safely overcome.

Seeing the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame within his body gradually calming down under the restraint of the Primordial Purple Qi, Yun Chenfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he just needed to focus on remolding his Meridians, as long as he could complete the remolding of his Ren and Du Meridians and the other most basic main Meridians.

At that point, Yun Chenfei would be able to begin initially recovering a portion of his mana. With mana, he would be able to refine some ten thousand year earth core milk to accelerate the progress of remolding his Meridians.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, the fight between Ding Chunxia and Dongfang Lai had continued without pause.

After the mana in their bodies was exhausted, they began to pit their Physical Body against each other. At the same time, they both secretly circulated their Cultivation Technique to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Recovering this way, while not as fast as using Spirit Stone or taking Medicinal Pill, had the benefit of not depleting their own cultivation resources.

After these few days of fighting, Dongfang Lai and Ding Chunxia both knew in their hearts that if they wanted to determine a winner between them,

it would likely require pitting high-grade Medicinal Pill against each other, or using secret forbidden techniques to forcibly increase their own strength.

At the same time, both of them sensed that people were hiding in the shadows watching their fight, and the number of people hidden in the dark was not small.

To avoid the situation where the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits, the two tacitly agreed not to use their full strength.

Through these days of observation, those hiding in the dark watching had all benefited greatly.

Not only had their horizons been broadened, they had also learned quite a few fighting techniques from the two great Body Integration experts.

Any old monster above the Hedao Realm has lived for at least several hundred years; their combat experience is naturally something that these young generations of several tens or a hundred years old cannot compare to.
