Divine Brilliance

A warm current flowed continuously in his abdomen like a flood, making Zong Shou sweat profusely, drenching his entire shirt.

Swallowing a Foundation Training pill was like swallowing a fireball. For an hour, his body felt like it was being burned in a furnace.

However, he didn’t feel the pain, but instead quite happy. After the dirt and impurities in his body were excreted out by the medicine, he only felt really comfortable. Even the piercing pain that spread through his body wasn’t that hard to bear anymore.

He still used the Spiritual Breathing Fist, strong winds moving around. His fist was like a dragon’s roar, really overbearing and ferocious.

This set of fist techniques had a specialty, and if one’s foundation and breathing weren’t strong then naturally it would be weak. But once the two meridians were trained up, it would become really powerful and its strength was indiscernible.

The path of martial arts was similar. Fist theories and sword theories were slightly different, but mostly the same. Zong Shou’s fists also had sort of rhythm to them. The changes in his strokes were small, but really strong.

Moreover, with every fist he used, he could feel the warm current within his chest and abdomen lessening by a bit. More of the medicine was seeping into the muscles in that area, either dispersing or settling down.

The Foundation and Breathing Meridians had almost doubled in size, the breathing path was like a fountain, endless and unstopping.

An entire Foundation Training pill was being used up by him, he was left with the Essence which still hadn’t disappeared, gathering in a spot near his energy ocean.

Zong Shou wasn’t in a rush, his fist intent became soft, and the surrounding Qi rotated many times before vigorously exploding.

“Break!”

A small shout that could break a stone. Zong Shou punched out with great intensity and strength. There was a loud whistle as the wind from the fist hit the side of the carriage.

The carriage shook slightly. The newly repaired carriage wall actually had a faint fist imprint on it.

As for the Essence of the medicine, it was forcibly dispersed by him into his abdomen.

The current Zong Shou felt like his abdomen was made of iron, making him feel really stable.

“This is the true Breathing like Fountain, Foundation like Boulder! Xueyi Temple’s Spiritual Breathing Fist, Seven Spirit Sect’s Seven Spirit Foundation Training pill is a match made in Heaven! I just needed one pill to help make up for all my problems in cultivation in the past…”

The medicinal properties of the Foundation Training pill had been half used up. Zong Shou wasn’t prepared to rest, suppressing his exhaustion as he started to practice his self-created Energy Leading method.

This second set was suitable for martial cultivation, and targeted the Marrow, Bone, Blood, and Intelligence Meridians.

Using this to disperse the remaining medicine had great effect. As usual, it was still those weird muscle pulling and stretching exercises.

Only when the last bit of warmth in his body was calmed down did Zong Shou stop. He directly took up an Impurity Cleaning talisman to absorb all the sweat and dirt. His entire body was clean once more.

“Spirit master talismans are so convenient. Not only killing and fighting, they can be used in every part of life. No wonder those spirit masters are so lazy. Want to make your body feel revitalized, just one talisman can do that. Then why does one need to bathe? Unfortunately, that Qi Xiao didn’t have too many of those talismans. I’m also focusing on cultivation and don’t have the energy to waste time to draw them…”

Stopping such random thoughts, Zong Shou observed his body, joy instantly flashing in his eyes.

Not only were the problems removed from his Foundation and Breathing Meridians, they were even strengthened greatly. With such foundations, the marrow training in the future would be done well, and he could be at ease targeting the Bone Chakra, not needing to wait for three months.

“Training the foundation and breathing, the Seven Spirit Sect’s Seven Spirit Foundation Training pill is second only to the Human Extreme pill which was called a Saint product. I didn’t believe it before, but now I know that it is true. To be able to get three at once is my good fortune. Then comes the marrow training. That Blood Maniac Monster Saint left twenty Tiger Marrow Dragon Bone powders in the Sanlu bank, made out of Grade Two elite beast tiger marrow and Grade Two giant snake bones. I heard that the best marrow and bow training medicine in Donglin Cloud Continent is Lingyun Sect’s Dongluo pill, but I probably wouldn’t be able to use it…”

Mocking himself, the current Zong Shou was feeling really fortunate for his good luck. What he didn’t know was that hundreds of miles away, that girl that gave him the Foundation Training pill had sold him for ten times the bet!

Adjusting his breathing slightly to stabilize the energy. Zong Shou took out a blue pill and swallowed it.

The Snow Spirit pill was like its name, ice cold. The moment Zong Shou swallowed it, his entire body felt a shiver. Compared to the Foundation Training pill from before, they were two extremes.

Without needing him to control it, there were ice cold energy currents charging into his soul ocean.

Energy of Heaven and Earth suddenly gathered and surrounded his soul. The moment the cold energy seeped in, it was wrapped up by the whirlwind in his soul Ocean, turning into pure spiritual energy.

Interestingly enough, the impurities and weird stuff that he usually couldn’t notice were showing signs of freezing up under this cold intent.

“This Snow Spirit pill is great!”

Zong Shou’s spirit shook as he focused more heavily on removing the impurities one by one.

Not long after, his entire soul ocean was cleaned out. Unfortunately, the medicinal effects of this Snow Spirit pill had also run out.

The changes within his soul ocean surprised Zong Shou.

“My overall spiritual energy amount increased by ten percent. Even the injuries from the Sky Mirror Soul Shining technique and burning of spiritual energy have recovered. I didn’t expect there to be such a miraculous effect…”

Unfortunately the effective time of the medicine was just too short, it didn’t last for even an hour.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, Zong Shou decisively stowed it.

If it could only increase his soul power and purify the soul, he would continue using it without hesitation. But since this item could also heal his injuries, he shouldn’t waste them so easily.

Coincidentally at this moment, he felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation not far from the carriage, spreading out for hundreds of feet. It lasted for only a short moment before disappearing.

“Unfortunate, just one small step and I could ascend!”

Since breaking free from the wolf pack, Yin Yang would regularly enter such a stage. He would start up spiritual waves, which after a short while would come to a stop.

His cultivation had already touched the door of the Xiantian Realm. The foundations he built before he was sealed were simply too overpowered. Now he was just a step away from the Xiantian Realm, and becoming a Xiantian master.

However such a matter could not be rushed. Although he failed this time, eventually he would succeed.

“Who knows if I harmed him instead. If he used his own strength to break the seal and reach Xiantian before forty, his future achievements would be immeasurable. I hope that Blood Cloud Marrow helped him. This item’s skin strengthening and flesh-tempering effects are good…”

Just as he thought about that, Zong Shou felt a strong exhaustion sweeping over him.

Even his mental strength couldn’t resist it. His head tilted to a side as he fell asleep instantly.

——

While asleep, his mind entered a vast land where dark and light didn’t exist. He saw it was a lonely place, and he couldn’t see the boundaries of it.

“Where am I?”

Zong Shou frowned slightly, having some ideas. A bundle of light appeared in front of his eyes…
