Chapter Seventy-One: The Boundaries of the World

pletely focused on the circular auction platform in the center, which was slowly rising.> Until it reached a height of one hundred zhang, the auction platform finally stopped.And immediately following...Ten times the pulse!

Jiang Yun's pupils suddenly constricted.

Although the human body has a total of twelve meridians, only nine can be opened.

Because cultivating immortality is a defiance of heaven, and nine represents the absolute extreme, therefore all realms of cultivation are capped at nine.

Jiang Yun was already at the ninth level of Tongmai, and during these ten days when he had nothing to do, he even tried to introduce spiritual energy into the last three meridians to see if he could open them. However, the results made him realize that no matter how hard he tried, the spiritual energy simply couldn't enter these three meridians.

It seems there's an invisible barrier enshrouding the three meridians, preventing any spiritual energy from entering.

For this, he specially asked Dongfang Bo, and Dongfang Bo's explanation was that the Nine Chong are within the limits allowed by the Heavenly Dao, so spiritual energy can enter. However, if it exceeds nine, even if it crosses the boundary, there is a force of law in the Heavenly Dao that prevents cultivators from touching those last three meridians.

In short, heaven's decree absolutely forbids the existence of realms beyond the ninth level.

However, Feng Wuji had now reached the tenth level of Tongmai Realm. This naturally shocked Jiang Yun, who couldn't believe it and blurted out, "How did he do that"

"External force, or in other words, it was the power from outside this world that forcefully opened the tenth meridian!"

"Power not belonging to this world" Jiang Yun was startled. "The power of the Great Desolate Realm"

"A great master once said, 'One flower, one world.' In reality, there isn't just one world, but countless worlds."

"There are boundaries in the world, to put it simply, it's what mortals call heaven and cultivators call the Way of Heaven."

Although the rules of our world only allow for realms up to nine, and prohibit any power from connecting to a tenth meridian, if you can find power that doesn't belong to this world, it will still be possible to connect.

Then that means, as long as we find power that doesn't belong to this world, we can unblock even the twelve meridians and reach the twelfth level of meridian cultivation

Dongfang Bo shook his head and said, “It’s not as simple as you think! Powers that don't belong to this world, even one, can only open up one meridian. And to open all twelve meridians, you need at least three powers that don't belong to this world.”

"Speaking of this, Dongfang Bo extended his finger towards Feng Wuji in the mirror and said: “The Luan Hui sect has a profound foundation, and Feng Wuji is exceptionally talented. Therefore, his master specially used a piece of extraterrestrial star stone, with the help of the power of the stars, to help him open up the tenth meridian.”

Jiang Yun took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart. Now he finally understood why Feng Wuji was called the number one person in the Tongmai realm.

A pulse cultivator could only cultivate to the ninth level, but Feng Wuji was a realm higher than all pulse cultivators, naturally becoming an invincible existence at the same level.

Having thought about it, Jiang Yun continued to ask, "Even if he is unrivaled in the Tongmai Realm, wouldn't this advantage disappear once he reaches the Fudi Realm"

“No! Strictly speaking, the Fortunate Land realm is the true cultivator, while the Pulse Connecting realm is just the foundation before becoming a cultivator. The more solid the foundation, the higher the height one can reach in the future! It seems that Feng Wuji has only advanced by one realm, but this realm is an eternal improvement. Even if he enters the Fortunate Land realm or the Cave Heaven realm, this advantage still exists.”

"Seeing that Jiang Yun seemed to still not quite understand, Dong Fangbo continued, 'This advantage, put simply, is that you'll always have a bit more spiritual energy than other cultivators of the same rank. Don't underestimate this, because as your cultivation level increases, the difference in amount grows larger and larger, to the point where it could even become terrifying.'"

Jiang Yun nodded, he had understood.

If we say that a cultivator of the first realm of an ordinary blessed land possesses 100 units of spiritual energy, then after a Ten-Pulse cultivator enters the first realm of a blessed land, their spiritual energy becomes 101, 102, or even more.

And these extra numbers will grow larger and larger as your cultivation level increases!

"Besides!" Tohno Kyou addressed once more: "It is said that using power not from this world to open up the meridians will come with a special ability."

"What special abilities"

"Dongfang Bo spread his hands and said, 'I haven't broken through the tenth meridian either. I've only heard about it! But if Wushang is strong enough, we should know soon enough.'"

At this moment, the battle between Wushang and Feng Wuji was clearly nearing its end. The outcome was easy to guess from the gloom on the faces of the disciples of the問道宗.

Although he possessed terrifying magical talent and cultivation, facing Feng Wuji, who was at the tenth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he still felt a bit powerless.

Their fight was short, but Wu was already pale with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Feng Wujì, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, even a smirk playing on his lips that showed no sign of change.

"Five Elements Dao!"

At that moment, Wú Shāng suddenly uttered four words from his mouth. As his voice fell, five beams of light in different colors suddenly appeared on the platform. Within each beam, there was a blade, a vine, a water droplet, a flame, and a piece of soil respectively.

After the five rays of light appeared, they seemed to have their own consciousness, connecting head-to-tail, forming a huge circular wheel that kept spinning.

The appearance of this wheel caused a slight change in the expressions of everyone present. Even Jiang Yun, separated by the bronze mirror, could feel the terrifying power contained within it.

Especially, every time the wheel rotates once, the power it contains will double.

Dongfang Bo's eyes flashed with excitement as he blurted out, "What a masterful display of the Five Elements Dao! I never expected that Wushang had already found his own Dao!"

As for Feng Wuji, the smile on his face finally subsided, staring intently at the turning wheel flying slowly toward him. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slammed it forcefully against his brow.

"Hum!"

On Feng Wuji's brow, a circular mark appeared, emitting a beam of light that transformed into a blurry human figure.

From afar, the figure may be blurry, but there is a round mark on its brow and starlight flickers all over its body, as if it were formed entirely of starlight.

"Body of the Way!"

With a gasp, the expressions of the crowd changed once more, while Dongfang Bo sucked in a cold breath and said: "The power of celestial stars breaks through the tenth meridian, it can actually allow him to possess a Dao body formed by the power of the stars! This must be a special ability that comes with it!"

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the figure formed by starlight, his eyes revealed a solemn expression.

Although he didn't know what a Dao body was, his acute senses told him that the terror of this Dao body far surpassed that of the reincarnation wheel formed by the five elements.

Even more so, he could clearly realize that the current him was no longer Feng Wuji's opponent!

"Stop! We lost this competition!"

As the starlight figures and the five elements' wheel were about to collide, Peng Shou, the master of Five Elements Peak, flashed in front of Wushang and directly conceded defeat.

He obviously knew very well that although the Five Elements Wheel was powerful, it would be completely useless against a Dao Body. If they truly collided, it would inflict unimaginable injuries on Wushang, even risking his death. Therefore, he had to step in and stop them.

As soon as Peng Shou spoke, the starry figure vanished instantly, returning to Feng Wuji's brow and reforming into a circular mark. Feng Wuji's face was even more disdainful, and he sneered coldly: "Your Daozong is simply too weak!"

Although the statement was too arrogant, no one from the Question Dao Sect could refute it. Even Wushang, who had the highest chance of winning, lost. The strength of the Reincarnation Sect was indeed too powerful.

Dao Tianyou stood out from the crowd and bowed to the long-browed elder of the Lunhui Sect: "This competition, we lost. In three days, we will send people to the Sea of Boundaries Unreturned Path!"
