Chapter 184: Chapter 6: All Meridians Unblocked, Unobstructed Realm

A few words were written on it.

White Bone Observation Yin Technique!

’White Bone Yin Observation? Could this Cultivation Technique be related to White Bone Mountain?’

Chen Ye mulled it over and flipped open the booklet.

Soon, however, his brow furrowed.

The booklet described an Evil Technique that involved sadistically slaughtering humans and animals, refining their Souls and Yin Qi for consumption, and ultimately using them to advance one’s Realm.

The cruelty of its methods was simply monstrous.

A trace of disgust flashed in Chen Ye’s eyes. He wanted to destroy it, but after a moment’s thought, he packed it away.

’I’ll ask around when I get back. If it really is connected to White Bone Mountain, it might come in handy.’

Chen Ye searched the area one last time. After confirming he hadn’t missed anything, he turned and headed back to the Willow Forest.

When they learned he had eliminated the Root Demon, the Little Demons erupted in cheers. Even the normally composed Granny Liu couldn’t hide the delight on her face.

"Warrior Chen, words cannot express our gratitude!"

Without any further ado, Granny Liu opened her palm, offering the emerald-like drop of the Essence of Wood to Chen Ye.

A rich aura of life washed over him, its scent alone enough to refresh the spirit.

Chen Ye didn’t stand on ceremony. He accepted the Essence of Wood and, under the expectant gazes of the assembled demons, swallowed it in one go.

BOOM!

The Essence of Wood melted the moment it touched his tongue, transforming into a vast yet gentle, warm current of life that erupted within him. Like a surging river, it coursed through his entire body, rushing toward his still-blocked meridians.

Chen Ye immediately sat down cross-legged, circulated his Cultivation Technique, and guided this immense power.

The sturdy blockages in his meridians were effortlessly smashed open by the force of this current!

One, two, three...

He could clearly feel his meridians opening, one after another. The exhilarating sensation of his power steadily growing was so intense he could barely stop himself from roaring aloud.

At the same time, his Professional Panel changed.

[Bounty Swordsman Professional Level increased to LV3]

After a long while, Chen Ye slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long, cloudy breath.

The meridians within him were now more than halfway clear.

Moreover, he had a strong premonition that he was just one final step away from the Unobstructed Realm, where all one’s meridians are open.

"How do you feel?" Granny Liu asked, stepping forward with concern the moment Chen Ye opened his eyes.

Chen Ye smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Madam. Barring any surprises, I should be able to open all my meridians within a few days."

"Then allow me to congratulate you in advance on your great achievement, Warrior Chen!" Granny Liu replied, her face beaming with joy.

They tried to persuade him to stay longer, but Chen Ye had matters to attend to in the city. He bid farewell to the reluctant Little Demons and started his journey back to Yu Huo County.

The rest of the journey was uneventful.

By the time he returned to town, dusk was approaching.

But as he walked into the inn, he keenly sensed that the waiter in the main hall was giving him a strange look.

Maintaining a neutral expression, Chen Ye walked over and tossed a piece of broken silver onto the counter.

"Waiter, a pot of your best wine and two jin of cooked beef."

The waiter took the money and went to prepare the order. A moment later, as he served the wine and food, he leaned in and said in a low voice, "Sir, you’re finally back."

"What happened?"

"Just last night, a Young Master Lü came looking for you with a big group of men. By the looks of it, they were here to cause trouble!" the waiter recounted with relish.

"As it turned out, you weren’t here. So that Young Master Lü stood right here in our hall and started cursing up a storm. He called you a coward who was so scared of him you’d fled town in the middle of the night. It was some nasty stuff, I tell you."

"Oh?" Chen Ye raised his cup and took a sip, his expression unreadable.

The waiter, seeing his calm demeanor, felt a flicker of admiration and continued, "He also said that you’d better not let him see you around again. Otherwise, he’d give you a beating every single time."

Chen Ye sneered inwardly at his words.

’He might be in the Unobstructed Realm, but he’s just some decadent punk who gets his power from swallowing bone ash. Who is he to make such empty threats?’

He couldn’t be bothered with such idle gossip. After finishing his wine and meat, he went straight to his room.

For him, the most pressing matter was achieving a breakthrough.

As for Lü Song... he was nothing more than a buffoon.

He returned to his room, secured the door and windows, and sat down cross-legged, sinking his Heart Spirit into his body.

The immense medicinal power from the Essence of Wood still flowed within him. He was just one final push away from completely clearing all his meridians.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate the Golden Toad Qi Swallowing Technique with all his might, assailing that final barrier.

Time trickled by.

For two whole days, Chen Ye remained in his room, emerging only for the occasional meal.

Finally, as night fell and the moon climbed to its zenith...

Chen Ye felt as if something within him had shattered completely.

BOOM!

In an instant, the last of the blockages was shattered. All his meridians opened at once. His Inner Qi surged like a great river flowing into the sea, circulating endlessly and forming a perfect, flawless Grand Circulation.

An unprecedented sense of power flooded his entire being.

Chen Ye’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing in their depths before disappearing.

All his meridians were open. He had reached the Unobstructed Realm!
