Chapter 79: The Appearance of Meridians

Under the impact of the water flow, Xu Feng's entire body turned red and swollen. However, after countless impacts, the effects were also very evident. Although the energy within Xu Feng's body had not been fully tapped, even just a part of it was enough to support him in reaching the peak of the tenth level.

With the fusion of energy, Xu Feng's strength finally steadily increased to the peak of the tenth level. Upon reaching the peak of the tenth level, Xu Feng leaped out of the water and onto the shore!

Xu Feng's peak at the tenth level was very different from others. For ordinary people at the peak of the tenth level, all the energy within their bodies had been fully tapped. However, because Xu Feng had been enhanced by the Purple Lightning, a considerable portion of his energy had not been tapped. Nevertheless, this was not what Xu Feng was concerned about. At the peak of the tenth level, he already had enough strength to make a sprint into the Spirit Realm.

"Convert the energy into spirit energy!"

Xu Feng recalled Xiao Rong's words, which were the first step to entering the Spirit Realm. What Xu Feng needed to do now was to convert all his energy into spirit energy.

Xu Feng took a light breath, looked at the red and swollen areas on his body, and cast two Purifying Techniques. Under the treatment of the Purifying Techniques, the redness and swelling gradually disappeared. The more he cast the Purifying Techniques, the more he could feel their miraculous effects.

After a brief rest, Xu Feng's mind merged with his body. The Dao Xuan Scripture began to slowly cultivate, and energy flowed through his bones. Each time it flowed, Xu Feng could feel the warmth of the energy passing through his body. As the Dao Xuan Scripture operated, his entire body began to heat up.

Under this heat, the Dao Xuan Scripture in Xu Feng's body began to operate autonomously without his control, and the speed of operation increased faster and faster!

The faster the Dao Xuan Scripture operated, the hotter Xu Feng's body became. Eventually, his body was like hot water, emitting rolling heat. This rapid rise in body temperature made Xu Feng extremely uncomfortable.

What surprised Xu Feng was that as his body temperature rose, the energy within his body began to refine him from the inside out. The energy originally contained in his body, under the refinement of the energy carrying the Mystic Lightning, began to leak out bit by bit.

The energy that had reached the peak of the tenth level began to grow again at this time.

Under this refinement, Xu Feng's aura soared crazily. The Dao Xuan Scripture seemed to selectively refine Xu Feng's body, where the energy was stored, and the Dao Xuan Scripture began to refine it. A stream of energy then shot out.

This strange situation left Xu Feng stunned. He never expected the Dao Xuan Scripture to have such a strange effect! As a treasure of the Daoist sect, Xu Feng had once again discovered its unique qualities!

Through repeated refinement, the energy in Xu Feng's body was refined bit by bit. This situation persisted for a long time! When the last bit of energy in Xu Feng's body was refined, Xu Feng felt as if he had been scalded by boiling water, with a burning force.

This burning sensation made Xu Feng jump into the water without hesitation. The coolness of the river water made Xu Feng feel slightly more comfortable.

After suppressing the Dao Xuan Scripture from rotating, Xu Feng noticed that his energy had far exceeded the ordinary tenth level. Xu Feng thought that if he were to fight Ling Gui again at this moment, even without using the Seven Kill Sword, Ling Gui might not have an advantage.

However, despite this, Xu Feng knew that if Ling Gui reached the Spirit Realm, his current strength would still be far from enough. The only viable option was to enter the Spirit Realm!

"Damn it! How can I convert all the energy into spirit energy?" Xu Feng muttered, but found no clue.

After several days of exploration, Xu Feng still could not find a feasible method and could only use energy to fuse with the Purple Lightning again. Due to the significant increase in energy, Xu Feng's energy could fuse with a bit more of the Purple Lightning. With the fusion of the Purple Lightning, Xu Feng's aura steadily increased, and the Mystic Lightning in his energy continued to grow.

With the fusion of the Purple Lightning, Xu Feng's energy strength reached an unimaginable level. Xu Feng thought that if he were to deal with a tenth-level opponent with his current strength, he could probably injure him with one punch. However, this made Xu Feng even more troubled, as the more terrifying the energy, the harder it would be to replace it with spirit energy.

The Dao Xuan Scripture continued to operate in Xu Feng's body, and each time it operated, the Mystic Lightning in his energy produced a thundering sound. Under this thundering sound, the energy became unstable and oscillated. However, what surprised Xu Feng was that the energy closest to the Mystic Lightning was abnormally stable.

This discovery made Xu Feng pause, and he then realized that the energy that had been fused with the Purple Lightning originally contained spirit energy.

"Does this contain spirit energy?!"

Understanding this, Xu Feng began to separate the energy closest to the Mystic Lightning and control it to operate the Dao Xuan Scripture crazily.

Under the operation of the Dao Xuan Scripture, Xu Feng found that the speed of the energy's operation was much faster than before. As this energy operated, Xu Feng felt a refreshing sensation.

"There's a chance!"

Xu Feng was overjoyed and drove the Dao Xuan Scripture to operate this energy. As Xu Feng operated, he felt a stream of aura entering his body through his nostrils and skin, bringing a refreshing sensation.

The Dao Xuan Scripture, as a classic of the Daoist sect, had a much higher affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than other cultivation techniques.

With the spirit energy in Xu Feng's body as a guide, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth used the Dao Xuan Scripture as a medium and began to enter Xu Feng's body in circles.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered Xu Feng's body, it merged with his energy. With the merging of the spiritual energy, Xu Feng's aura began to soar. Each time a bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth merged, a bit of the energy in Xu Feng's body dissipated and was replaced by the spiritual energy.

The energy shot out of Xu Feng's body and dissipated, creating a wind howl around him. At the same time, more spiritual energy from all directions of heaven and earth entered Xu Feng's body, replacing his energy!

This sudden change was unexpected by Xu Feng, but the feeling of his strength soaring crazily made him overjoyed. The Dao Xuan Scripture operated even more crazily!

"Boom..."

With each boom, a stream of energy was replaced by spiritual energy, and even the Mystic Lightning was expelled from the energy and re-fused back into the Purple Lightning.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, under the absorption of the Dao Xuan Scripture, entered Xu Feng's body in increasing amounts, eventually forming a small wind howl zone around him!

After most of the energy in his body was replaced, the energy that originally flowed through Xu Feng's body suddenly condensed into a stream and rushed towards his lower abdomen. Under this impact, Xu Feng felt a huge force, and a mouthful of blood was forced out.

At the same time as the blood was expelled, Xu Feng felt that from his lower abdomen, the spiritual energy began to spread throughout his body as if it had a network.

Xu Feng's mind merged with his body again and found that the spiritual energy was confined in some crystalline, transparent meridians, flowing along these meridians. This made Xu Feng exclaim in surprise, "Meridians?!"

The crystalline meridians spread throughout his body, glowing like a halo due to the flow of spiritual energy, and were extremely beautiful. At the same time, as the spiritual energy flowed, the meridians felt a bit of pain.

Xu Feng had heard in martial arts novels that cultivation could create meridians, but when it actually happened to him, he was still amazed. Especially when he could feel the texture of the meridians, it made him even more curious to explore.

Xu Feng did not know that every cultivator who reached the Spirit Realm must have their own meridians. Of course, the higher the cultivation technique, the more meridians would be created during the first cultivation. And for someone like Xu Feng, who created meridians that spread throughout his body on the first try, it was absolutely unprecedented!

At the moment the meridians appeared, the Dao Xuan Scripture seemed to go into a frenzy, rotating crazily. Streams of spiritual energy from the outside world entered Xu Feng's body and then entered his meridians.

With the massive amount of spiritual energy entering Xu Feng's body, he felt the meridians being stretched to the point of pain. Xu Feng originally thought that these meridians could not withstand so much spiritual energy. However, he was surprised to find that despite the pain, no matter how much spiritual energy entered, the meridians could fully accommodate it.

At this time, Xu Feng's energy slowly dissipated and was replaced by spiritual energy.

If other cultivators in the Spirit Realm saw the crazy influx of spiritual energy, they would be terrified. A cultivator sprinting into the Spirit Realm could not possibly withstand so much spiritual energy entering their body. Even if the body could withstand it, the heavenly lightning they would face would be terrifying!

Xu Feng was completely unaware of this. He felt that the more spiritual energy, the better. Since the meridians could withstand it, he should absorb as much as possible.

As Xu Feng absorbed crazily, the last bit of energy dissipated. At the moment the last bit of energy dissipated, the originally clear sky above Xu Feng's head began to gather dark clouds. Lightning flashed within the dark clouds.

Xu Feng did not notice this at all. He was completely immersed in the pleasure of absorbing spiritual energy. The feeling of his strength soaring crazily made him almost dizzy. He frantically formed seals, absorbing streams of spiritual energy.

"Boom..."

The dark clouds above his head grew thicker, and the thundering sounds continued. The entire sky was filled with a heavy atmosphere, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds. People who noticed this scene were stunned, thinking how strange the weather was. The sky was clear on one side, but why was it about to rain in that small area?
