Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Barrier from Heaven

“Barrier from Heaven?”

Shui Lingbo’s attention was slightly diverted as her eyebrows furrowed, “This matter is indeed tough.”

“Since the Cloud Desolate Era, there have only been five people who were able to achieve that, and they all relied on external forces. Apart from that, he also has a Dual Meridian Body with a broken soul, which makes it even more complicated and difficult. Luckily, he has already grasped some level of sword intent, meaning it isn’t totally impossible. My sect has a treasure known as the Fake Body Pearl which could help him, what is your Wujue Villa planning to do?”

“Fake Body Pearl?”

Yan Fan laughed, responding to the provocative tone of Shui Lingbo expressionlessly, “Although my Wujue Villa doesn’t have as big a treasury as your Taiyuan Sect, we do have something that can help him. The effects would even be greater than that of the Fake Body Pearl. I don’t know if this fairy has heard of the Spirit Containing Meridian?”

Seeing the body of the girl opposite her shudder, an expression of shock subconsciously appeared in her eyes. Even with Yan Fan’s training he couldn’t help but feel delighted, brushing his mustache, “Actually I am even more curious about what Zong Shou is doing at that Water Fairy Lake. He goes to the center every day, isn’t he afraid of being eaten by that Blackwater Chill Serpent?”

“Just that Blackwater Chill Serpent?” Shui Lingbo’s lips raised in disdain, “If you want to know. why not go take a look? If you don’t dare to go yourself why would you drag me there? A few days ago I used the Heaven Sight Technique and know that he is within the Blackwater Pond, though I didn’t look for long before the Blackwater Chill Serpent blocked me. If we both work together why should we need to fear it?”

“We can’t go!” Yan Fan shook his head, his expression extremely solemn, “That guy is storing up energy to try to face tribulation, and he is at the stage now where he’s the most way. If we both go over, a huge battle would be unavoidable. It isn’t that I am looking down on myself but that the Blackwater Chill Serpent is really strong, and even if we join hands we aren’t its opponent. The moment a battle begins we would destroy the area around us for thousands of miles. If you want to go alone, I won’t stop you, though I am definitely not going to tread through such muddy waters.”

Shui Lingbo’s eyes were filled with hesitation, before scoffing, “So we won’t go then, why are you talking so much crap! That Zong Shou could go anywhere, so why did he choose to come here to this Water Fairy Lake?”

Grumbling about Zong Shou for a few moments, Shui Lingbo stopped speaking, her eyes dancing around as she was forming unknown ideas.

Yan Fan also sighed, for he knew that if this matter dragged on they were delaying Zong Shou’s future.

Be it martial or spiritual cultivation, it was a race against time. If one was slower by fifteen minutes, it might have a lifelong impact. The younger one was, the better chance they had of climbing to the top.

Gathering his emotions, Yan Fan looked into the distance at Lei Dong, who was holding a blade and dancing around. He couldn’t help but smile, “Why aren’t you finding it boring now?”

Lei Dong’s brows rose, revealing his unhappy thoughts, “If all of you fought like that every day I wouldn’t feel bored my entire life! However, you’ve only fought once in these ten days!

Yan Fan burst out into laughter, a weird look appearing in his eyes, “Then let me find something interesting for you to do which is also helpful for me. Take it as helping your sworn brother…”

Lei Dong scoffed, instinctively wanting to reject the offer. He then saw Yan Fan take out a book from his sleeves, causing his vision to start shaking. He was startled, and almost immediately his eyes were filled with utmost interest. Lei Dong was now hitting his chest, displaying his pride for the heavens, “Look at what uncle is saying. I am your nephew, naturally, I should do things for you!”

When Yan Fan saw that he laughed, unsure of whether his words were true. He looked coldly to the side, a blue talisman flashing as his vision extended through hundreds of miles. He did all this only to see that near the Water Fairy Lake there were two black images standing at the beach. One of them looked really handsome while the other looked hideous, though they both hid their bodies in black robes.

※※※※

Within the Blackwater Pond, the originally calm surface water was spinning and mixing, suddenly turning clockwise and then changing to counter-clockwise. Its strength wasn’t fixed, becoming strong one moment and weak the next, causing numerous waves to spurt everywhere.

Zong Shou stood two thousand feet below the water where around him a giant whirlpool was crazily spinning.

No matter how fast his Chaotic Cape Wind Fist’s speed was he couldn’t let this whirlpool spin any faster.

Though his body was at the center of the underwater storm he was unable to feel any pressure, the centrifugal forces not having much of an effect on his body.

His minor and major organs were trained until they were like steel and stone. His marrow, bone, blood, flesh, skin, and tendons were slightly stronger than Peak Grade Three Beasts.

His broad and powerful fist energy passed through thirty feet of pond water and struck the stone wall opposite him. A giant piece of stone instantly broke into pieces, making the pond shake as though it was about to collapse!

Zong Shou didn’t care whatsoever, still standing calmly on the giant stone. He closed his eyes and quietly observed the meridians in his body, as well as the changes to his limbs and bones.

He had delayed his advancement by several days, and those ten days of training had caused the energy within his body to be vast and numerous.

“…11500 kilograms of strength! I have reached the limit and can breakthrough to Xiantian!”

Although his strength had reached such a number, he was still a level below that of a true Xiantian and was just double that of Peak Mythic Masters. However, the quality of his body was five times that of normal people and perhaps even stronger.

It was due to his limited amount of spiritual energy that he couldn’t explode with even greater strength.

He could roughly ascertain that the energy within his Chakra Meridians was already out of control and moving slightly. Zong Shou made up his mind, leading threads of large and vast energy down his legs.

A total of 480 Chakra Meridian acupoints, along with over 500 extra acupoints he had opened up in the past three months, became threads of true qi seeping into his energy ocean.

When all the energy gathered together they acted as a flood, surging instantly and being quite difficult to control. They split up into two groups stabbing toward his lower body.

They moved through his body like a hot knife through butter until they reached his two Earth Gates, where they were blocked by a thick and strong barrier.

If it was a normal person the energy would be more than enough to easily crush their gates, though for him it was like they had run into a steel wall, causing the energy to flow backward as a result of the resistance.

“Barrier of Heaven?”

Zong Shou’s eyes sharpened and revealed a cold smile. The barrier within his Earth Gate acupoints was around the same level as his past life.

“After accumulating for three months how could I be stopped by such a small barrier? Energy Turning Into a Sword, break!”

Within Zong Shou’s body, all the true qi flowing near his legs turned into a sharp but indiscernible sword image that slashed down.

It wasn’t formed by the Eighteen Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Intent spiritual seeds in his dantian, but it was still quite draconic. The slash was as flexible as water, stable as a mountain, indiscernible as the clouds and truly overbearing. It was a sword that seemed to encapsulate everything!

Numerous wounds appeared on Zong Shou’s legs, unable to handle the dissipating sword intent energy.

Two sword-shaped energy collections suddenly stabbed into the two Earth Gate acupoints! They looked like they couldn’t be stopped, but just as they were about to smash the last obstacle a spiritual light seeped out from near the two acupoints, forming a rune that rejected the sword energy.

“Why this thing again? I had it in my last life, so why do I still have this Acupoint Sealing Talisman after changing bodies? It seems even more vicious this time…”

A glow of lightning appeared in his eyes. In his past life, someone had placed this talisman on him, so which Day Wandering Realm Spirit Master did Zong Shou make enemies with this time?

Luckily, these few months he wasn’t arrogant and didn’t rush around doing anything rash.

Scoffing coldly, the Eighteen Cloud Shocking God Destroying Intents in his dantian charged downward and merged with the two sword energies.

His sword accepted and merged into all things, meaning the Eighteen Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Intents had no issues combining with it.

“In my past life I was naturally not hindered by this talisman, so why would I be obstructed by it in this life? Xiantian Realm, open!”

The auras of the two swords near his Earth Gate acupoints suddenly swelled, releasing an eye-catching glow which caused the spiritual talisman to instantly tear. He heard a “huala” sound as more blood seeped out from his calf.

Zong Shou didn’t pay much attention, remaining calm.

He heard a loud explosion, signifying the obstacle had finally been broken through. The two sword-shaped energies immediately pierced through it and continued to move downward.

The first thing to be hit was the stone platform, which was slashed into many pieces by the sword energy. It continued even further downward, causing stones to roll and sand to stir.

The pond water surged once more. There was no longer a whirlpool formed on the surface of the water, but instead two hundred feet high waves.

The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy reverberated and shook, spreading out several miles.

Time passed, and it was unknown how long it took for the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to calm once more, but it was finally thinning out. The Blackwater Pond had also finally returned to a tranquil state.

Zong Shou opened his eyes underwater and then suddenly charged upward, jumping out of the pond and feeling completely different from before.

The ability of his spiritual senses had increased greatly, and the sensation of being able to connect to Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was far greater than the sensation one received by borrowing an external pill to reach Xiantian. His body’s vital energy and blood boiled as though it had endless amounts of strength.

“I’ve finally reached the Xiantian Realm!”

To martial cultivators who strived to reach the top of the martial path, the Xiantian Realm was just the beginning. He was a long way from the peak he reached in his past life.

Each step on the path was tough, but he had to give it all he had!
