Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 541: 541

"It's… it's… the Life Fate pill formula!"

Long Chen almost jumped in joy, and even his voice trembled .

Examining his memories, he noticed the pill formula had appeared, and it was precisely the pill formula he needed the most .

He could only condense the Life Fate Star through Life Fate Pills . At that time, with three stars, he wouldn't even need to be afraid of Celestials .

The Three Star Battle Armor combined with the divine ring would definitely be able to block a portion of the Heavenly Daos' suppression .

He didn't need it to completely resist them . If just a portion was blocked, then Long Chen had the confidence to kill Yin Wushang .

That was Long Chen's confidence in himself . Within the same realm, no one could suppress him, not even Celestials .

Right now, he had already advanced to Meridian Opening, and so he was no longer so weak in terms of realm . Once he opened new meridians, his body would once more go through a complete transformation .

"Nine Netherworld Grass… Heavenly Star Nectar… Flowerless Azure Fruit…" Long Chen listed off a total of one hundred and eight precious medicinal ingredients . "Nice . There are no medicinal ingredients like the Qilin Fruit . " He felt a heavy worry being lifted from his shoulders .

Within the primal chaos space, he already had over half of those ingredients . As for the ones he didn't have, there were only a few that were comparatively rare .

Furthermore, although those were very rare, they weren't as abnormal as the Qilin Fruit and almost extinct .

He might not have them right now, but he wasn't worried . With the Huayun Sect on his side, that wouldn't even be a problem .

Long Chen was incomparably excited now . He had an urge to immediately return to the monastery and contact the Huayun Sect so he could refine the Life Fate Pills .

However, seeing the endless grassland around him, that thought died . He didn't even know how far he had gone, and after so much fleeing, he didn't even know which direction he was at in relation to the monastery . It wasn't as if he could just return according to his old path . What if the Yin family was waiting for him?

He suppressed his excitement . Things had to be taken step by step, or if you panicked, it would be all too easy for things to go wrong .

In the end, he decided to focus on healing here . While recovering, he would open his new meridians . Once he was recovered, he would see if he could find a city nearby .

Long Chen summoned his divine ring and urged on the plants in the primal chaos bead .

As he made them grow, he also extracted a portion of their life energy to help himself recover .

Ten days later, he had finally recovered by thirty percent . Although he still wasn't capable of having an intense battle, he had already reached the goal he had set for himself .

The obvious and severe injuries were already recovered . It was simply the imprint of the Heavenly Daos that was still present .

If he fought with others, that imprint would immediately activate, worsening his injuries .

But right now, he didn't need to fight . He just needed to urge on the primal chaos space and then begin to open his meridians .

This so-called Meridian Opening referred to creating new meridians once the physical body reached a strong enough level .

When cultivators started cultivating, their spiritual qi moved in their body through their meridians . But once they reached the Meridian Opening realm, they needed to abandon those old meridians and create a new set of meridians .

The Meridian Opening realm was the final realm in Houtian level, which also built the final foundation before stepping into the Xiantian realm . That was why it was necessary to create new meridians .

These new meridians required qi, blood, tendons, and bones to work together .

That was why Qi Condensation, Blood Condensation, Tendon Transformation, and Bone Forging were all in preparation for the Meridian Opening realm .

Using bones as the foundation, tendons as the channel, blood as the guide, and qi as the support, cultivators would create new channels for spiritual qi .

These channels were used for storing Xiantian qi, and so they needed to be sturdier and wider than ever . Otherwise, once you reached the Xiantian realm, when you used your Xiantian spiritual qi to attack, your meridians would explode before your attack could even come out .

Right now, Long Chen had to focus his spiritual qi into his meridians and create channels through his bones, connecting all his bones .

For an ordinary Meridian Opening expert, that was something impossible to do . They could only form their new channels in the outside of the bones .

Creating the channels within the bones was a right reserved for those who had undergone complete tempering . For Long Chen, who had used a Bone Connecting Pill at the very start to undergo complete tempering, this was as easy as turning a hand .

After creating this connection, the next step was to use qi to draw blood into the channels . Once the blood entered the channel, it would form a membrane over the channel . That would be the new meridian .

This process was very easy, but it was extremely slow . You had to be especially cautious at the beginning, as the newly formed meridians were unable to endure too much pressure .

Long Chen used a full day to complete this process . However, he still hadn't truly entered the Meridian Opening realm .

Now, he needed to spend each day pouring his Blood Qi into the new meridians . Furthermore, he couldn't pour in too much at a time . He had to keep it just beneath the limit of what the meridians could endure .

He could only increase the strength as the meridians adapted . It was like blowing a balloon; he had to push it to its max but not let it explode .

Furthermore, his Blood Qi would not just widen the meridians; it would also nourish them, making them tougher .

For ordinary Meridian Opening experts, they were only able to enlarge their meridians three times . After undergoing complete tempering, the limit was usually eight times . But Long Chen had already completed that process ten times now, and he still hadn't reached the limit .

This was a good thing, as his meridians were only growing stronger, capable of enduring more of his power .

When the new meridians were complete, the cultivators would abandon their old meridians, transferring all their spiritual qi to the new meridians . At the same time, they would also pour in a portion of their essence blood into the meridians . Only then would the meridian opening process be complete .

When the spiritual qi fully entered the meridians, a person's aura would rapidly grow, like a small creek that suddenly became a vast river .

Within the new meridians, as the spiritual qi and essence blood merged, they would form a bloodline energy . That kind of bloodline energy didn't have any use when the cultivators fought .

But it had an even more important use than fighting . That was for their ancestral line . The children of those who had reached the Meridian Opening realm would inherit a portion of their bloodline energy . Thus, in the cultivation world, excellent people gave birth to excellent children .

As a person's cultivation base grew higher and beyond the Meridian Opening realm, the bloodline energy their descendants would receive would become stronger . If it was a bloodline of a supreme expert, then their descendants would be able to activate a bloodline pressure .

That was the same as what Yin Wushang had done . But while both Yin Wushang and Yin Wushuang possessed the same ancestor, the purity of their bloodlines was different .

When Yin Wushuang used her bloodline suppression, it was unable to do anything to Long Chen . But Yin Wushang was able to make him feel like his blood would freeze . That was the difference .

"Oh, there are people here?"

Long Chen suddenly looked towards a certain direction . Although no one was visible yet, Long Chen's divine sense could sense a group of people rapidly approaching .

"Little Snow, you should rest in the spiritual space for now . " After putting Little Snow away, Long Chen waited for a moment, and then dozens of figures appeared in the distance . It seemed they were rushing towards this particular lake .

Long Chen looked around carefully, and only then did he notice there were quite a few marks in the distance, and he immediately realized something .

"Hm? There's someone here?" They finally noticed Long Chen .

When they got closer, Long Chen saw they were a group of youngsters who had just reached their twenties . The person at the front was a lively and pretty woman .

However, he was a bit surprised to see they were all Meridian Opening experts . It was truly rare to see such young Meridian Opening experts .

As for the woman at the front, her bloodline energy had been condensed to an extremely high level . That was a sign her cultivation base had already reached the peak of Meridian Opening, and her spiritual qi was starting to transform into Xiantian power . In other words, this woman might break through to the Xiantian realm at any moment .

"I didn't expect to run into a group of young experts here . Looks like I really am a frog in a well . " Long Chen couldn't help but mock himself .

He had always thought his own cultivation speed was already fast enough . He hadn't expected to run into a young half-step Xiantian expert here .

"Hey, brat, how are you here all by yourself?" asked a man with an arrogant air . Most likely, seeing Long Chen on his own and with such a weak aura, he looked down on him .

"Well said, well said . It seems I really am all by myself . " Long Chen laughed .

That person was first startled, but then seeing Long Chen's wicked smile, he immediately understood he was cursing them as not being human .

"Brat, looks like you need a beating!" That person was infuriated and was just about to charge forward .

"Zhang Wu, don't be rude," shouted the woman leading them .

That woman took a few steps forward and carefully examined Long Chen . She saw he was covered in dirt as well as some blood . Overall, he appeared extremely wretched .

And yet, his eyes were still completely calm, almost unfathomably so . Long Chen gave her a very odd feeling, but as for what specifically was odd, she was unable to say .

"Did you run into some troubles?" she asked .

"Yes . I came out to hunt, but a group of bastards attacked me . As a result, I had to flee, separating from my companions and ending up lost . It really was unlucky to the max," sighed Long Chen . Making up nonsense was definitely one of his specialties .

But he also felt that this woman might be able to bring him out of this place to a city .

"Senior apprentice-sister, don't listen to this brat's rubbish . He's lying!" Zhang Wu hastily cried out .
