With a stir of Ding Hao’s mind, the power tides between heaven and earth, like hurricanes, gathered toward his body. In the blink of an eye, the air around him seemed to be solidified. The rich Spiritual Qi in the power tides between heaven and earth was like transparent liquid, surrounding his entire body.
“Well, the cultivation speed seems to be faster than before…” Ding Hao was surprised.
Every cell in his body seemed to be cheering and crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. With every breath, a large amount of energy poured into his body, and the consumed energy was recovering at a wild speed. The recovery speed was much faster than before.
“I feel like something has changed in my body…” Ding Hao concentrated his mind to feel it carefully.
This was a very strange feeling as if shackles had suddenly been removed from his body.
“Could it be…” Ding Hao suddenly realized something. This time he activated the power of the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword to the extreme so that his body had been totally exhausted. Although it had caused great damage to his body, it was very likely that it had helped him break through the limit and make a qualitative leap.
The surging Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was coming and wildly poured into Ding Hao’s body.
Ding Hao kept to the elemental and focused his attention on his eyes, nose, and heart. He guided the Qi to run in his body. The dried-up Qi channels and apertures like deserts were nourished by new energy, and soon they were full of vitality. The roaring Qi flood nourished the Qi channels, like a flood wetting the dry riverbed and replenishing vitality.
Eighty-three apertures of the Twelve Meridians in the lower dantian in his abdomen were releasing a silver radiance. The apertures formed a galaxy of stars, rolling out of his body. The stars were floating and running around Ding Hao’s body. The surrounding rolling Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth directly merged into the aperture stars. The recovery speed was even faster.
The silver Qi radiance covered the entire galaxy like a nebula.
In the meanwhile, with a stir of Ding Hao’s mind, he activated the flaming Qi in the middle dantian in his chest. The eighty-three apertures in the Six Strange Veins also turned into energy stars, floating around Ding Hao’s body. They had formed another galaxy. The pale red flaming Qi was like a nebula, covering the entire flaming galaxy. It was evolving and flowing and was full of indescribable mystery.
At first, the silver galaxy and the red one did not interfere with each other. They both rotated slowly around Ding Hao’s body.
As time went by, more and more Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth directly merged into these 186 large stars. Previously, the two galaxies were dim and weak. They had suddenly become radiant. The power contained in them had also become stronger and stronger. The air around Ding Hao’s body seemed to have suddenly solidified. A kind of powerful and magnificent aura was spreading throughout the entire secretive training room.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had gradually merged into the two aperture galaxies. Following a specific track, the Spiritual Qi began to connect various aperture stars. There seemed to be a divine brush drawing out the silver and red flowing lights. They connected the stars floating in the nebulas and strange patterns had been formed.
“The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth has begun to run through the Qi channels in my body…”
Ding Hao’s mind was clear, and he was observing the change. He ran the Invincible Fighting Method.
This was a strange way of cultivation. Ding Hao could feel that without the confinement of the physical body, the energy between heaven and earth was merging faster into the aperture stars. In the ethereal galaxy, every time the energy between heaven and earth ran through the Qi channels, the energy of the entire galaxy would become stronger. It was much faster than the speed when he was cultivating in his body.
There was something Ding Hao didn’t know. If someone looked at him from a distance at this time, he would see something incredible. The silver ice Qi and the red flaming Qi had enveloped Ding Hao’s entire body. The two kinds of Qi were not permeating into the air. Instead, they formed a grand shadow. It looked almost the same as Ding Hao, just like his own image. It had enveloped him.
The trajectories of the aperture stars and the energy between heaven and earth in the shadow were proportional to the positions of Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins in Ding Hao’s body.
After an unknown period of time, Ding Hao felt more and more comfortable and his mind was clearer and clearer.
New aperture stars were slowly born in the two galaxies. Under the infusion of the energy between heaven and earth, they soon shone brightly.
His strength had grown.
A new big star was born in each of the two galaxies, which meant there were two new apertures. Ding Hao made further progress and entered the dual meridian and three-apertured Martial Sage Realm.
The feeling of over-exhaustion disappeared like the tide.
A power that was several times stronger was slowly growing in Ding Hao’s body.
At this time, there appeared a strange change—
After the gold galaxy and the silver one evolved to a certain extent, they began to take the initiative to start an extremely strange fusion. The edges of the originally distinct ice and fire property nebulas began to blur. The two galaxies were getting closer and closer as if they had merged into one.
A strange power was slowly growing.
Ding Hao’s mind stirred. He decided to concentrate on his mind and relax his body. He wanted to see what kind of result this change would bring.
However, just as an ice aperture was about to touch the nearest flaming aperture, a huge repelling force suddenly broke out. Ding Hao’s body shook, and the two aperture galaxies suddenly reversed their tendency to merge. They immediately became distinct again. With a swoosh, all the aperture stars went back to Ding Hao’s body like frightened rabbits.
The huge shadow of Ding Hao also disappeared.
Ding Hao slowly opened his eyes.
A powerful force he had never had was surging in his body.
“I’ve fully recovered…” Ding Hao stood up and felt that he was full of spirit and energy. His Qi was abundant and his strength was more powerful than before. He had never been so full of vigor before.
This was not only the growth of Qi, but Ding Hao could also feel that his physical strength was a lot stronger than before. The Jade in Stone was more integrated into his body. Almost all the power contained in it was merged into his bones.
Ding Hao stretched his body.
Crackling sounds of air blasts could be heard around him.
“This is the physical strength of the Middle Martial Sage Realm.” Ding Hao nodded with joy and satisfaction.
He slowly breathed out a sigh of relief and felt greatly relieved.
His Divine Senses spread out like a tidal wave, allowing him to see everything within the Red Stone Manor.
The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress and the other masters from the Nalan family were still trapped in the inscription tactical deployment at this time. They looked a little dispirited. The people who practiced physical cultivation guarded all over the manor in a serious manner. Nalan Chu and her brother were cultivating outside the hall.
Six days had passed.
The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress and the others had been trapped in the Starry River Illusionary Formation for six days.
Ding Hao was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he slowly sat back on the rush cushion and began to carefully reflect on the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The strength of Ding Tong and the others was really shocking. Ding Tong obtained Ding Hao’s blood essence when the latter was little. Ding Tong should have grasped the bloodline power of the Divine Body. The giant wings made of the sword and the saber were the embodiment of the power of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword. According to what Ding Hao’s father’s mysterious entity body had said, Ding Tong had mastered some kind of power called the Emperor Style of Saber and Sword, which should be very terrifying.
Otherwise, Ding Hao’s father would not have warned him so seriously not to challenge Ding Tong before he comprehended the Emperor Style of Saber and Sword.
Ding Tong was seriously injured in this battle, and his Eyes of Fate with Seven Stars were also injured. He might not appear again in a short period of time. Ding Hao was not in a hurry. He could use this time to quickly improve his strength. The next time he met his fated rival, he would have the strength to fight.
The battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains allowed Ding Hao to witness the power of God Realm Masters at close range, especially the power of the top God Realm Masters such as the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region and Lord Buddha from the Great Leiyin Monastery. Ding Hao was shocked by their power. He had no chance of winning facing people on such a level.
It wouldn’t make Ding Hao discouraged.
On the contrary, it had aroused his burning fighting desire.
Ding Hao began to seriously consider where his Tao was.
Since Ding Hao time-traveled, he had had a lot of amazing adventures. His martial arts skills were extremely varied, many but not refined. Because of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword and the Invincible Fighting Method, his strength had grown very fast. He had rarely met opponents at the same level on the Land of Infinity. Except for the God Realm Masters, he could almost defeat everyone.
Since he came to the Land of Divine Grace, he had encountered many powerful enemies in fierce battles. He had too many martial arts skills, but none was refined. Such weakness could be seen at this time. Many times, he had to rely on the Rusted Sword and the Devil Saber.
It was not a good sign.
Relying too much on the power of a forbidden weapon would limit the growth of one’s strength.
In the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ding Hao was fighting with the Tenth Divine Prince who was in the Semi God Realm. On the surface, he had defeated his opponent with Bi Fang’s Fire and the power of the Sword Intent, but in fact, he secretly used the power of the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword. Although he won the battle, it was also very dangerous and he was injured.
This was also a reminder for Ding Hao.
Now was the time for him to reflect on himself and define his Tao.
Ding Hao sat cross-legged on the rush cushion, sinking his mind into his consciousness.
Time ticked by.
Ding Hao kept frowning and was thinking about all kinds of possibilities.
This was a process of self-enlightenment for martial arts. If he found his own path and followed it firmly, he would get twice the result with half the effort. Grinding a chopper would not hold up the work of cutting firewood.
Three more days had passed.
Ding Hao was like an old monk in meditation. He didn’t drink even a drop of water. He seemed to have turned into a stone statue.
The sun in the outside world rose again with a golden brilliance pouring down. Everything had emerged from the long night. The world was filled with light. This was a new day with excellent weather.
In the secretive training room, Ding Hao finally opened his eyes slowly.
The confusion in his eyes had disappeared. They were now as clear as water.
