Lin Xintong’s naturally terminated meridians were like a dead knot in her life. They had taken root in Lin Xintong’s body, entrenched in every muscle. Usually, it would be hidden, but once it was nourished, it would grow and engulf Lin Xintong’s vitality.
Now, with the frost Qi constantly entering Lin Xintong’s body, she felt colder and colder. As for her natural Yin Meridians, they were like weeds that had been nourished by the rain, as they grew crazily.
Lin Xintong’s footsteps immediately slowed down.
Cold, the biting cold reached deep into her bones, and it reached her bone marrow.
She shrunk her thin body and looked up. The icy plains were so vast they seemed to have no end.
She recalled the test of the mental demons. The dreams that repeated themselves seemed to never come to an end.
Other than the second dream in which she held hands with that youth to tour the world until she found a method to join her terminated meridians up and finally accomplished a great cultivation level that she had the age of the Sun and Moon, the other dreams were filled with endless death and repression.
Her “waking up” again and again was met with her realizing that she was still in a dream. The dream realm was endless, preventing her from knowing when she was dreaming or awake.
That sense of despair was probably similar to what she was experiencing right now…
Behind Lin Xintong, high in the sky, there was a faint figure that was looking at her lonely figure on the icy plains.
Lin Xintong sensed the figure and she gently turned around. And at that moment, the figure dissipated in the wind.
Following that, a wispy female’s voice echoed in Lin Xintong’s ears, “These icy plains are like the terminated meridians in your body. If you only rely on your body’s Yuan Qi, you will not be able to last till the end. However, if you were to burn your vitality, you can go even further, but you might die early. Have you thought it through?”
Lin Xintong’s eyebrows trembled, “You are… ?”
The figure that had suddenly appeared in the wind was somewhat similar to the ancient Great Empress in the painting she saw on the third level of the God Advent Tower, however… there was something different…
This figure was not in a dream or in a painting. She really existed in this world.
She was the only other person amongst the cultivators Lin Xingtong had seen in the God Advent Tower.
“I am the God Advent Tower’s Item Spirit.”
The woman’s cold voice transmitted through the wind.
“Item Spirit… ” Lin Xintong understood. Yes, for such a divine item, it naturally had an Item Spirit. “If I pass through these icy plains, will I see the opportunity to join up my terminated meridians?”
“No!” The female voice said coldly, “But it can let you get closer to that step.”
Just closer only?
Lin Xintong lightly sighed. Her white dress was like snow and it seemed to merge as one with the icy plains around her. Her black hair scattered downwards on her jade-like face. As she closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were pixies in the snow.
Closer? Then let me be closer to it!
Lin Xintong tightened her thin clothes. Enduring the stormy cold, she proceeded without hesitation.
The path of martial arts had no set paths. It was through a warrior’s strong determination to blaze a way through all manner of obstacles and courage to proceed that opened a new path forcefully.
Once embarked on the journey, there was no regrets…
…
In the second level of the God Advent Tower, it was a vast desolate lands!
“Xiao!”
A sharp cry echoed in the sky like a phoenix’s call. A dazzling light shot out from a mountain, and in this light beam, there was an azure-clothed youth’s figure. He was making steps on the void and appearing like a flash of lightning.
This azure-clothed youth was Yi Yun. The movement technique he was using was the “Golden Crow Sun Shift” that he had obtained from the third level of the God Advent Tower.
Typically, people who cultivated the “Golden Crow Sun Shift” would need at least half a year to get a foothold in the skill. And that was the speed of proud children of heavens.
However, Yi Yun had a close to perfect pure Yang body, and his pure Yang cultivation technique was in the large success stage. Together with the help of the Purple Crystal, cultivating the “Golden Crow Sun Shift” was done at an extraordinary pace.
His body left a golden beam in the air as he landed on a mountain. He used the mountain peak to shoot up into the sky again!
His body was like the blazing Sun rising in the East in an unstoppable manner!
After cultivating the “Golden Crow Sun Shift”, Yi Yun’s speed was no longer the same as it was in the past.
While he was moving with extreme speed, Yi Yun’s eyes were as fast as lightning as he spotted a metal-winged eagle flying in the sky.
