Mu Hanyan had assumed there would be numerous obstacles ahead, and had planned to deal with them before slowly figuring out this particular challenge. Yet, to her surprise, she had arrived at it so swiftly.
Logically speaking, at this point, her Qi should have been surging uncontrollably, with her subsequent cultivation technique still incomplete, likely leading to Qi raging out of control, causing serious injury to her body. However, at this moment, the Qi suddenly came to a standstill, as if waiting for her to make a decision.
It seemed her guess was correct, her Heavenly Heart Technique could harness the power of all things for her own use, and could also accommodate thousands of other cultivation techniques. Confident in her speculation, Mu Hanyan was naturally ecstatic.
After a long while, Mu Hanyan finally returned to calm from her immense joy.
Although she had no worries thanks to the miraculous effect of the Heavenly Heart Technique, how to proceed with the next step of the cultivation technique was still a problem.
As Mu Hanyan hesitated, the Qi that had come to a standstill suddenly surged out of control.
"Could I have guessed wrong? Is the Heavenly Heart Technique not as miraculous as I thought!" Mu Hanyan was shocked and dismayed. She knew all too well the consequences of losing control of her Qi: either her meridians would rupture, resulting in severe injury, or she would explode and die, with no whole corpse remaining. Neither outcome was acceptable to her.
Mu Hanyan quickly exercised her cultivation technique to its fullest in an attempt to control the rampant Qi, but she was unable to do so.
Mu Hanyan concentrated and practiced Inner Vision, watching helplessly as the Qi surged forward like a breached flood.
"Humm..." A rumbling sound, like a melodious fairy tune, echoed in her mind.
Looking at her intact meridians, Mu Hanyan was astonished once again.
The Qi had passed directly through the space between two meridians, revealing a brand-new meridian within her line of sight.
"The Hidden Meridian!" It had actually opened up the Hidden Meridian.
Mu Hanyan was so overjoyed she was almost in a stupor. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
The Hidden Meridian, a legendary invisible meridian said to exist within the human body, could only be discovered when one’s cultivation reached an exceptionally high realm. If one could open it, their potential would undergo a drastic transformation, allowing their cultivation to ascend even closer to the apex, or even surpass human limits to reach a realm beyond imagination.
Such a legend was heard by Hanyan in her previous life, when she had reached the Sword Saint Realm, from a reclusive expert. But legends were after all just that, and the man had not elaborated. Hanyan had only a vague understanding, not even knowing what the ultimate realm he spoke of was, or what the unimaginable realm might be.
With her cultivation at that time, she couldn’t even detect the existence of the Hidden Meridian. Hanyan had even thought at one point that it was merely a legend; the so-called Hidden Meridian was nothing more than a beautiful wish conjured by despairing unparalleled masters who had reached their cultivation limits and could progress no further.
Until this moment, when an unheard-of meridian appeared in her own body, she realized that the legend was true.
With the Hidden Meridian broken through, her integrated Heavenly Heart Technique faced no more barriers. Even if there were, they were easily overcome. The Qi within her body circulated at least ten times faster than before, completing a small cycle in just seven and a half minutes.
Although it was not yet perfectly smooth, there was definitely no issue with the cultivation technique itself.
Surprise after surprise, even for Mu Hanyan, whose temperament was far more mature than her peers, she couldn’t help but feel her emotions surge. After a while, her heart settled back to normal.
Circulating the newly acquired Heavenly Heart Technique, Mu Hanyan once again extended her Primordial Energy towards the Heavenly Star Power deep within her Heart Meridian.
"Boom" Another loud sound, and Mu Hanyan’s whole body shook violently, but this time, she did not spit out blood, feeling much more at ease than before.
If she spit out blood again, she would have to consider going to eat a pig leg to make up for it!
