221: Chapter 221 A Complete Transformation, Cultivation Soars

Sunsets and sunrises.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

By now, the extra meridian within Yun Chenfei's body had slowly taken shape.

Strangely, this extra branch meridian was not inferior in thickness or width to the other twelve main Meridians at all.

It even showed signs of faintly surpassing those twelve main Meridians.

Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

All things are born of Heaven and Earth, and tiny humans are naturally no exception.

Humans correspond precisely to the Earthly Branches; there are twelve Earthly Branches, hence the sayings of the twelve zodiac signs, the twelve double-hours, and the twelve Meridians.

The branch Meridians of the human body correspond to the four seasons and the three hundred and sixty-five days of a year.

Since there are times when a year has three hundred and sixty-six days, how could there be only three hundred and sixty-five branch Meridians in the human body?

The extra meridian in Yun Chenfei's body was precisely the hidden three hundred and sixty-sixth branch meridian.

Rather than calling it a branch meridian, it was more like a Leap Meridian—a hidden meridian.

From ancient times to the present, those who could open this hidden Leap Meridian were few and far between.

Wang Daoyi had only learned of the Leap Meridian's existence through a stroke of luck.

But even for those who knew of its existence, successfully opening the Leap Meridian was incredibly difficult.

Setting aside the fact that Heaven-Defying divine items capable of recasting Meridians were extremely rare...

Just the prerequisites for opening this hidden meridian were so demanding that those who could meet them were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The primary condition for opening the Leap Meridian was that the other twelve main Meridians and three hundred and sixty-five branch Meridians had to be completely shattered and rebuilt.

This was the so-called 'construction after destruction'!

Who would shatter all their own Meridians for no reason?

Even self-mutilation shouldn't be played that way, right?

Even if your Meridians were coincidentally destroyed by someone else, you would still need to find a Heaven And Earth Treasure to reshape them, wouldn't you?

Once you found a method to reshape Meridians, you would still need to know that the Leap Meridian existed within the human body.

Even if all the above conditions were met, your Physical Body would need to be strong enough and your essence blood sufficiently abundant; otherwise, you simply couldn't endure until the Leap Meridian was fully opened.

As luck would have it, Yun Chenfei possessed all of these harsh conditions.

Although he didn't know about the hidden Leap Meridian, Wang Daoyi did, and he was willing to help him.

Soon, the three hundred and sixty-sixth branch meridian in Yun Chenfei's body was completely recast.

At this moment, Yun Chenfei's body was like parched earth meeting sweet rain, frantically attracting the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

Seeing this, Yun Chenfei flipped his hands, and two Top-Grade Spirit Stones appeared in his palms.

With the replenishment of Top-Grade Spiritual Qi, the aura on Yun Chenfei's body surged accordingly.

Seventh Grade Spirit Refining Realm, Eighth Grade Spirit Refining Realm, Ninth Grade Spirit Refining Realm—all were broken through in the flick of a finger.

Then, he stepped directly into the First Grade Condensing Spirit Realm.

Did it stop there?

No, you're wrong!

Second Grade Spirit Condensing Realm... Fifth Grade Spirit Condensation Realm... Seventh Grade Condensing Spirit Realm, all the way to the Ninth Grade Spirit Condensation Realm.

Only then did the surging aura within Yun Chenfei's body slowly settle; during this period, he had used nearly a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but how many people on the Water Moon Continent could afford the luxury of using High-Grade Spirit Stones to restore their mana?

Not to mention using almost extinct Top-Grade Spiritual Qi for cultivation; most Cultivators still used Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

If the Top-Grade Spiritual Qi Yun Chenfei squandered were converted into Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, it could be exchanged for at least several million pieces.

With that many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, even if one plundered an average medium-sized Sect, they wouldn't be able to scrape together such a sum.

Using so many Spirit Stones at once was finally worth the value.

The speed at which Yun Chenfei's cultivation soared left even him dumbfounded.

Before he was injured, he was only at the First Grade Condensing Spirit Realm.

The higher the cultivation, the harder it was to raise subsequent levels, and the greater the difference in strength between Realms; this was a universally acknowledged fact in the cultivation world.

Just by recasting his Meridians once, Yun Chenfei's cultivation had surged by nearly an entire major Realm. How could he not be shocked?

"I'll take advantage of the time spent reinforcing and adapting to the Meridians to also refine my somewhat unstable Realm."

Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

Subsequently, Yun Chenfei closed his eyes and entered closed-door cultivation once again.

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a weaver's shuttle.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

By now, the Meridians in Yun Chenfei's body were as solid as rock and full of resilience.

The mana in his body, after two years of ceaseless tempering day and night, had also become increasingly solid and profound.

With the improvement of his Realm and Physical Body, Yun Chenfei's Primordial Saint Body also showed faint signs of a Breakthrough.

"It's time to start breaking the fourth layer of shackles of the Saint Body."

Feeling that the fourth layer of shackles of the Primordial Saint Body had already loosened, Yun Chenfei murmured.

Then, he swallowed a seventh-rank elixir and began to charge at the fourth layer of the Primordial Saint Body.

Mobilizing all the mana in his body, he struck fiercely at the chain on the fourth layer of the Primordial Saint Body.

Once, twice...

Spirit bodies, divine bodies, saint bodies, and so on—various extraordinary Physiques, while bringing their possessors strength beyond ordinary people...

...also required the consumption of massive amounts of resources to raise their level.

In ancient times, which Major Achievement Saint Body or divine body was not built upon countless cultivation resources?

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!

When breaking through the first three layers of the Primordial Saint Body, Yun Chenfei had consumed a large amount of exotic beast essence blood and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

The fourth layer was naturally no exception; a single seventh-rank elixir didn't last long at all before the mana in Yun Chenfei's body was depleted.

Gritting his teeth and steeling his resolve...

...Yun Chenfei took out the eighth-tier elixir he had snatched from Lin Feiyu in the Sages Grotto-Heaven—the taiqing jade liquid pill.

"To break through the fourth layer of the Primordial Saint Body, I'll give it my all!"

A look of reluctance flashed through his eyes and vanished as Yun Chenfei spoke with determination.

Although sixth-tier elixirs were not common on the Water Moon Continent, there were still people who could refine them.

seventh-rank elixirs were different; each one used was one fewer in existence because no Alchemists possessed the Pill Formula for seventh-rank elixirs.

The seventh-rank elixirs currently in the world were all left over from ancient times.

Not to mention eighth-tier elixirs; pills of this grade had long since disappeared from the Water Moon Continent.

The first strike brings courage, the second weakens it, and the third exhausts it.

To break through the fourth layer of the Saint Body, one had to focus on that first burst of momentum.

This was why Yun Chenfei did not choose other cultivation resources to replace the eighth-tier elixir.

Because the Spiritual Qi contained in other things simply couldn't keep up with the speed of consumption.

A single High-Grade Spirit Stone could indeed be exchanged for a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones couldn't be exchanged for one High-Grade Spirit Stone for this very reason.

The best steel must be used for the blade's edge!

As soon as the taiqing jade liquid pill was swallowed, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi flooded into the Meridians within Yun Chenfei's body.

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Chenfei's newly formed Meridians were both wide and tough, they really wouldn't have been able to accommodate such a terrifying rate of Spiritual Qi replenishment.

Even so, Yun Chenfei hurriedly accelerated the output of spiritual power within his body.
