Chapter 84: Breaking Through the Eight Meridians

On that day,

The disciples of the Green Dragon Gang, Star Association, etc., and the high-level members who were close to Princess Clear River Chen Xi all died. The main officials of Chizhong Prefecture all died. The Prefect's Office and Wan You's mourning hall were turned into ashes in a great fire, leaving nothing behind.

The world was in an uproar.

Up until now, although the chaos in the world was just beginning to show, with the Marquis of Zhendong carving out his own territory and plundering land everywhere, this was the first time such a powerful martial arts figure had slaughtered a prefectural government office in a fit of rage.

The Yue Kingdom imperial court was furious, listing the Purple Wei Sword Sect and 'Ten Flower Sword Immortal' as wanted criminals. Anyone who captured them would be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!

However, everyone knew that this was actually a futile effort.

Innate experts are extremely difficult to kill as long as they are not surrounded by a large army. Even if multiple Innate experts are dispatched, they will let the other party escape if they are not careful, and there is nothing they can do.

Unless a Grandmaster takes action.

Unfortunately, the royal family had long ago broken the lineage of Grandmaster-level experts, otherwise they wouldn't have lost control of the world.

Even the Purple Wei Sword Sect dispersed as soon as Wan Qianyu left the mountain, and would not easily show up until the next dynasty was established.

Jiang Ding silently watched the other party run rampant in Chizhong Prefecture without making any move.

First, although he was sure he should be able to face an Innate expert for a short time without being defeated, he had no certainty of winning and killing them. A little carelessness would lead to big trouble.

Challenging across realms is not a good thing.

Another thing is that Prefect Chen Zheng and the officials of Chizhong Prefecture deserved to die!

Greedy and incompetent, leading to famine victims everywhere, fleeing, selling children, while they were holed up in the prefecture city to whitewash the peace, without any thought of disaster relief.

These people died, which is a great thing. Why save them?

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to change Chizhong Prefecture either.

This requires an honest organization built on ideals, strict supervision, and the explosive progress of technology.

Otherwise, everything is just a cycle of chaos.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes, cleared his distracting thoughts, and continued to cultivate.

For ten consecutive days,

Chizhong Prefecture, which had lost order, fell into huge chaos. Gangs fought for territory, officials fought for power, and spies from the Wolf God Sect and the Marquis of East Town stirred up trouble. Every day, there was fighting.

Jiang Ding was peaceful here. No one paid attention to a remote courtyard. He often didn't go out for seven or eight days at a time, and it was hard to say if anyone knew anyone lived here.

On this day, he opened his eyes, and a white light flashed and disappeared.

"The Twelve Main Meridians part of the Great Heavenly Cycle has been tempered and nourished."

Jiang Ding silently felt the Internal Power traveling through the 12,000 large and small branches of the Twelve Main Meridians. They cycled back and forth, forming a complex and precise Internal Power system.

However, when passing through eight Internal Power nodes, the speed dropped suddenly, spending several times the distance to bypass them, and the efficiency of the entire Internal Power circulation system had to be greatly reduced.

Eight Extraordinary Meridians!

Du Meridian, Ren Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, Yang Qiao Meridian!

This is the bottleneck that blocks the vast majority of jianghu people. They will never break through to Internal Power Great Accomplishment in this life, and their potential is exhausted!

Jiang Ding's mind moved, and the Internal Qi rose from the Dantian Qi vortex, gathering the Internal Power from all places step by step, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, forming a long river, flowing down!

Boom!

There seemed to be a huge vibration in the invisible soul. Just one scouring, and the Du Meridian bottleneck was shaky and unstable.

Bottleneck?

In the face of such a thick Internal Qi foundation, what is a bottleneck?

The second time.

Boom!

The Du Meridian bottleneck shattered and was completely broken open. The Internal Power soaked into the various branches of the meridians, skillfully tempering and nourishing them.

Jiang Ding felt a stinging pain in his meridians, and immediately understood that he could only break through one bottleneck a day and needed to rest for some time for the meridians to recover.

At the same time, the aura on his body fluctuated, sometimes dazzling and powerful, sometimes weak, and finally approached nothingness.

Minor Breath-Holding Technique Major Accomplishment!

"Finally Major Accomplishment. Now relying on the high-grade reconnaissance camouflage magic tool, it should be able to shield the scanning of many cultivator spiritual senses and radar waves."

"In addition, breaking through the bottleneck plus nourishing 8000 large and small branches of the Eight Meridians will take more than two months, and promoting to the Great Heavenly Cycle will take more than two months."

Jiang Ding thought silently.

It's not long.

There are also a few days. After the Blue Gold agent is in hand, the cultivation speed will change again.

But now it's time to sleep, and there's a final exam tomorrow.

Ding-dong, ding-dong...

"The exam begins, please answer the questions..."

The classroom of Class 1 was quiet, with only the sound of pens sliding across paper and flipping through test papers.

Jiang Ding's Internal Power circulated throughout his body spontaneously, tempering and nourishing the branches of the Du Meridian at all times, but his spirit was focused on the questions of the Chinese test paper, occasionally writing down spiritual characters.

After finishing the questions one by one, he gradually had a bottom line in his heart.

Except for math, where his grades improved significantly due to the Talisman Sword, his grades in other subjects should only be a little better than the mid-term, not very much. This requires the accumulation of time.

Unless, he promotes to Innate.

After Innate, not only will Internal Power become a state similar to magic power, but the soul will also undergo a qualitative change under the drive of the body, just like a cultivator stepping from a mortal into the Qi-Refining stage.

At this time, learning ability, memory, logical thinking ability, etc., will all rise significantly, and grades will be the same.

The final exam lasted for three days, during which subjects like Chinese, math, ideology and morality, biology, heavy machine gun shooting, etc., were all tested. Class monitor Hua Bing gathered them together in the excited eyes of all the students.

"It is now 10:05 AM. In another hour, the space warships of the Ministry of Education's Golden Core cultivators will fly over dozens of cities including Rongcheng to provide us with Tai Xu Illusion technology support."

"The practical combat assessment will last from three to seven days. You have ten minutes to inform your family."

"At 10:30 at the latest, everyone must be in position in the equipment warehouse, otherwise the practical combat assessment will be calculated as zero."

Hua Bing looked at everyone one by one, confirming that they heard clearly.

"Golden Core cultivator senior!"

Many people exclaimed, curious: "Class monitor, can we see the Golden Core senior? I have never seen a living Golden Core cultivator in my life."

"Probably not." Hua Bing shook her head: "The space warship stays at an altitude of 10,000 meters and will leave after the exam."

"Oh!"

Everyone sighed in disappointment.

Jiang Ding called Lin Wanqiu to explain the exam situation and walked with his classmates to the Tai Xu Illusion login room near the cultivation room.

The heavy metal door opened slowly, with rows of metal equipment warehouses over two meters long inside. Students like Gong Gong Sun Ling from Class 2 and Class 3 also arrived, but their equipment warehouses were in the other two rooms.

"It looks like a metal coffin, not good-looking."

"Indeed."

Li Junhao complained, which was agreed by many people.

"If everyone can live and work in first and second-tier big cities in the future, you can buy and decorate your own Tai Xu Illusion equipment warehouse."

Hua Bing explained, demonstrating first how to enter the equipment warehouse, how to check whether the equipment is running normally, and reporting to the invigilator immediately if there is damage.

The human soul is fragile and complex. Entering the Tai Xu Illusion requires Golden Core cultivators to assist and guard, and only big cities can have such conditions.

A few Golden Core cultivators can guard many people with the help of instruments.

Of course, it's not that you can't use the Tai Xu Illusion equipment warehouse without Golden Core cultivators, just bear a casualty probability of five or six per thousand. Many cultivators in the small worlds protected by the Immortal Sect do this.

Any abnormal death of an Immortal Sect person, whether a mortal or a cultivator, will trigger a strict investigation procedure.

Jiang Ding learned Hua Bing's appearance and stepped into the equipment warehouse. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
