Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This uncontrollable feeling is really irritating!”

Yun Xiao’s face showed a tinge of frustration, as at this moment, his Meridian Qi had been exhausted, and the Ancestor Vein Power was autonomously activated, totally out of his control.

Even Yun Xiao had a faint feeling that this sudden burst of Ancestor Vein Power might not be his own, but rather belonged to the Blood Moon Jade that had transformed into a blood-red crescent mark.

It should be known that after an entire night of activating the Ren Du Meridian Array, Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi had run out completely. Ancestor Vein Power also needed Meridian Qi to support it, which also showed how strange the situation was at this moment.

From the initial eerie transformation of the Blood Moon Jade into a mark to the later annihilation of the Shang Family, Yun Xiao increasingly felt that the Jade his father left him was extraordinary, possibly hiding a shocking secret.

Treasures, desired by everyone, can sometimes be the source of disasters. For instance, Yun Xiao, in his heart, would rather give up this unknown ”Supreme Treasure” if it could bring his mother and sister back to life.

The Ancestor Vein Power, not under Yun Xiao’s control, finally encountered some resistance after making a full circle back to the Baihui Acupoint on the Ling Wan, and this resistance was crucial for whether the Ling Wan could transform into a dragon.

Indeed, this autonomously erupting Ancestor Vein Power was much, much stronger than his half-baked Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm Meridian Qi.

The Ren Du Meridian Array, which had no effects all night for Yun Xiao, finally erupted with its due power at this moment. The palm he placed on the Baihui Acupoint of Ling Wan burst into a blaze of red light, followed by another surge of power erupting forth.

This power, decisively was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Under this power’s enhancement, the originally stalemated Qi of the Du Meridian finally surged past from the Baihui Acupoint on top of Ling Wan’s head, eventually flowing into the sea, intertwining with the Qi of the Ren Meridian.

Boom!

When a surge of power burst forth, Yun Xiao felt his whole body shake, and then his palm pressing on the Baihui Acupoint of Ling Wan was directly blown away, along with his body being impacted.

If it were during Yun Xiao’s prime, this force would not have caused him too much harm, but at this very moment, the worn-out him, after being impacted by this great force, was blown off the bed and crashed into a wooden table.

Bang!

”Pfft!”

A mouthful of crimson blood spurted out from Yun Xiao’s mouth; he knew that after exhausting his Meridian Qi and being subjected to such an impact, he had indeed suffered some internal injuries, which was totally unexpected.

However, Yun Xiao did not blame Ling Wan for this ”repaying kindness with enmity.” He believed that this was not Ling Wan’s intention. Moreover, at this moment, Ling Wan seemed to be in a special state, eyes tightly closed, completely oblivious to external affairs.

Yun Xiao struggled to sit up straight, his gaze fixed on Ling Wan. This look brought another kind of anticipation because at this moment, the two originally distinct black and white meridian lines on Ling Wan were now intertwined.

Whether it was the black line of the Du Meridian on Ling Wan’s back, or the white line of the Ren Meridian on the front, both had now turned into a black and white color, flowing rapidly like water streams, further stirring the energy of heaven and earth within the room.

Under Yun Xiao’s watchful gaze, the black and white meridians spun faster and faster, and then Ling Wan’s body, which was originally plump like a ball, visibly returned to normal, clearly indicating the effectiveness of the breakthrough of the governor and conception vessels.

The now normal Ling Wan still did not open his eyes. Yun Xiao could clearly sense that Ling Wan was in a certain state, operating his not-so-high-rank Cultivation Technique, refining the energy between heaven and earth for his own use.

In the Zhao Family, Ling Wan was not favored at all, just like the initial Yun Xiao and Yun Wei, their Cultivation Technique at most was of a Low-Level Mortal Rank, but the momentum created by this Mortal Rank low-level Cultivation Technique was nearly as significant as some Spiritual Rank Cultivation Techniques.

Countless energies of heaven and earth were forcibly infused into his body amid the operation of Ling Wan’s Cultivation Technique, and it seemed to merge with a special kind of energy inside him, causing Ling Wan’s Meridian Qi Cultivation to break through to the Late Stage of Meridian Introduction Realm in an instant, and this momentum showed no signs of stopping.

Huff... Huff...

The energy of heaven and earth inside the room, as if stirred by an invisible hand, rushed towards Ling Wan under Yun Xiao’s increasingly anticipatory gaze, nourishing him through his breakthrough.

It was already broad daylight outside Ling Wan’s room, where four anxious-looking young men and women stood, the leader among them was Tan Yun.

Just as a few team members worried about whether Ling Wan could withstand this crisis, they suddenly sensed the disarray of the energy of heaven and earth in the air.

”This... this is...”

A young man’s face was full of astonishment, seemingly not understanding the cause behind these energy fluctuations. However, as he muttered to himself, another burst of energy dissipated his doubts.

”It’s the aura of Ling Wan, he... he has actually broken through!”

Tan Yun, the strongest team leader in this group, sensed almost instantly that it was indeed the breakthrough aura of Ling Wan.

At the same time, a flicker of joy surged in Tan Yun’s heart. Since Ling Wan managed to break through, it indicated that Yun Xiao’s approach had been effective overnight. That guy had indeed not let her down.

However, what shocked the four of them even more occurred later. About another thirty minutes passed, and another powerful energy fluctuation erupted from inside the room, the strength of it seemingly much greater than before.

”To break through two levels consecutively, this is really... really...”

Tan Yun, shocked, was at a loss for words, and her three team members also stood there, stupefied.

Previously, Ling Wan was at the middle stage of the Meridian Introduction Realm. Having broken through two minor realms consecutively, hadn’t he reached the Peak of the Meridian Introduction Realm? Such cultivation would even surpass Tan Yun’s. How was this possible?

”Are Yun Xiao’s methods really that powerful?”

One of the team members muttered, now considering Yun Xiao’s other identity as a Mortal Rank Low-Level Meridian Refining Master. Perhaps only this most prestigious profession on the continent could possess such extraordinary methods.

Therefore, including Tan Yun, a sense of eagerness arose in everyone’s heart. If Yun Xiao could enable Ling Wan to break through two levels overnight, then helping each of them break through one realm should be effortless, right?

However, just as their excitement was mounting, they suddenly realized another fact—the energy fluctuations in the air had not stopped and were still pouring into the room.

”It can’t be possible...”

Tan Yun uttered softly as she considered possibilities she had never thought of before, and the other three immediately understood her implication and instinctively nodded their heads.

What Tan Yun and the others didn’t know was that this time Ling Wan was bound to give them an enormous shock—one that could astonish countless powerful cultivators across the Jade Pot Sect of Xuanyue Empire or even the entire Hidden Dragon Continent if they knew.

Inside the room.

Yun Xiao and Ling Wan were unaware of the commotion they had caused outside. One could not move, and the other was deeply engrossed in a particular state, so they could only passively accept this fact.

Fortunately, after enduring a painful night, both Yun Xiao and Ling Wan were extremely expectant about what was to happen next. At this moment, Ling Wan had already broken through to the Peak of the Meridian Introduction Realm but the Heaven and Earth Energy kept rushing into his body, guided by a particular aura within him.

At this point, Yun Xiao began to form some guesses which were very likely to come true, feeling extremely gratified because Ling Wan’s fortunes were inseparably linked to his efforts and methods throughout the night.

Boom!

After thirty minutes, Ling Wan’s body once again burst with a powerful energy fluctuation, and his Meridian Qi Cultivation soared from the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm to the early stage of Meridian Gathering Realm.

The previous night, still just at the middle stage of Meridian Introduction Realm, Ling Wan had astonishingly broken through to the early stage of Meridian Gathering Realm in just one night, consecutively breaching three minor realms. If not for witnessing it themselves, no cultivator would believe it.

Moreover, even though they witnessed it, Tan Yun and others outside the room were like they had been subjected to an immobilization technique, standing still like statued stakes, all four people with eight eyes stare fixedly at the room’s door, utterly unwilling to believe what they were witnessing.

For those who were extremely familiar with Ling Wan’s situation, this sudden turn of events seemed almost dreamlike. The, once least talented and always-protected chubby member of their team, who was always rejected by his family and struggled with his abnormal body reacting painfully every few days, had now become a potent cultivator of the Meridian Gathering Realm.

Considering that among the many talented youths participating in the Jade Pot Sect Outer Disciple’s assessment, only Xuan Zhi, Zhao Ningshu, and Cao Luo had reached the Meridian Gathering Realm, Ling Wan’s achievement hardly seemed inferior to those three geniuses, did it?

The change in the situation left Tan Yun and those intimately familiar with Ling Wan astounded, rooted to the spot in the courtyard motionlessly.

What they didn’t know was that, due to Ling Wan’s breakthrough, a young boy dressed in coarse clothes in the room, was now bathed in this breakthrough energy and once again spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura becoming even more fragile.
