Chapter 55

The so-called Yin Meridian is actually the Governor Vessel in the Ren and Du Meridians.

It is the intersection of the spine and the neck, also known as the Yin Point.

Unbeknownst to when, nearly half of the true qi had already gathered at the Governor Vessel.

This made Bai Chen feel incredulous, as all his true qi was supposed to be gathered in the Dantian.

When did the Governor Vessel gather so much true qi, and he didn't even notice a bit?

If it weren't for the instinctive pulse of the Governor Vessel just now, he would still be in the dark.

"Kid, what are you dazed about? What kind of dog's luck do you have, to encounter such a rare opportunity? Quickly control that true qi and impact the Governor Vessel."

"Impact the Governor Vessel? You... you mean to advance to the Xiantian stage? But I am currently..."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your Dantian's true qi has been drained by those three little worms, leaving you physically weak. The Ren and Du Meridians are naturally linked to heaven and earth, so the Governor Vessel instinctively absorbs the essence of heaven and earth to maintain your body's normal operation. Use this essence of heaven and earth to impact the Governor Vessel."

Bai Chen understood only a little, still having some doubts.

Jiesha became impatient and cursed, "You pig brain, with your current cultivation, you can only compete with these three little worms in true qi and cultivation. If you can't kill them, they will kill you. And these three worms, which you have fattened up, will probably not even leave you a full corpse."

Hearing this, Bai Chen finally decided to give it a try, as his life was at stake.

If he couldn't even save his life, considering other things would be pointless.

Bai Chen immediately tried to control that true qi. However, upon touching it, he realized why he hadn't noticed it before, and why these three venomous worms had no interest in it.

This was unrefined essence of heaven and earth, containing many fatal impurities.

Once absorbed into the Dantian, it would be equivalent to suicide.

The worms naturally had no interest in this essence of heaven and earth. Although their intelligence was low, they still understood the instinct to avoid danger.

Fortunately, this unrefined essence of heaven and earth had only gathered in the Governor Vessel and had not flowed into other meridians, let alone the Dantian.

This violent essence of heaven and earth was even harder to control than the true qi he had cultivated.

It was like a wild dragon, constantly struggling to break free from Bai Chen's control.

Bai Chen was also anxious, as his body had already been thrown into chaos by the three venomous worms, leaving him no time to tangle with this essence of heaven and earth.

"Come to me!!" Bai Chen growled.

Suddenly, an invisible force radiated from Bai Chen's body. Qin Kelan's heart tightened, and her hands instinctively wrapped around Bai Chen's waist, her face tightly pressed against his chest.

The swarm of worms, which had been circling a few feet away, suddenly sensed something and all turned to flee.

In the blink of an eye, they had scattered, and not a single venomous worm could be found within a dozen feet.

This sudden change left Qin Kelan bewildered. Looking at her current actions, her face turned red with embarrassment.

However, her hands did not relax, still tightly wrapped around Bai Chen's waist.

At this moment, she felt this chest was so broad, allowing her body and mind to completely rely on it, filled with a sense of security.

Not only the surrounding venomous worms, but even the three venomous worms inside her body seemed to be frightened, curling up into small balls, round and trembling in the Dantian, not daring to move.

Bai Chen did not notice the changes around him, focusing all his attention on controlling the essence of heaven and earth.

The originally wild and unruly essence of heaven and earth suddenly seemed much gentler, with less intense resistance.

Bai Chen's blood seemed to be stirred, and his body began to emit a fiery glow.

This fiery glow was not particularly hot, but it gave the surrounding worm swarm a great sense of oppression.

Bai Chen's body was like a vortex, drawing air from all directions, making the fiery glow on his body particularly bright and dazzling.

Qin Kelan looked at Bai Chen in surprise, not knowing what had happened to him.

She instinctively felt that Bai Chen had a presence that made her feel afraid.

Suddenly, a red light burst from Bai Chen's back, like a dragon ascending to heaven, and the surrounding flames were drawn by this red light, shooting up into the sky with a wave of heat.

The surrounding dozen feet were instantly illuminated, and then, as the red light dissipated, gradually dimmed.

But soon, a second red light, a third red light, and so on.

Qin Kelan's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The place where the red light burst forth was Bai Chen's Governor Vessel.

Although Qin Kelan had never seen this before, she remembered the descriptions in the classics.

Qi retains the heart, the dragon ascends to heaven, the Yin Point connects to the sky, the Governor Vessel gathers the source of essence...

Bai Chen was clearly impacting the Governor Vessel, planning to advance to the Xiantian stage.

All along, Qin Kelan had regarded Bai Chen as an enemy of the Danqi Sect, but she had never considered him a major threat, thinking he didn't have the qualifications.

But at this moment, she realized how much she had underestimated him.

Bai Chen had just used true qi to prolong her life and heal her injuries, and in the next moment, he had the strength to impact the Xiantian stage.

The Xiantian stage was not something that could be easily achieved. Even if one reached the peak of the Houtian stage and made all necessary preparations, the chances of success were still slim.

The Ren and Du Meridians were the natural chasm between the Xiantian and Houtian stages, and most people could not break through this limit in their entire lives.

But Bai Chen was in such an environment, and his body was also poisoned.

He was also distracted by healing her, and in this situation, he still wanted to impact the Governor Vessel.

If he wasn't crazy, then she must be.

The resilience of the Governor Vessel far exceeded Bai Chen's imagination. After dozens of impacts, the Governor Vessel remained unchanged.

And what Bai Chen did not notice was the changes happening within his body.

With each impact, his internal organs became increasingly resilient under the baptism of the essence of heaven and earth.

This was almost unimaginable for most people.

Even Xiantian experts would not dare to absorb large amounts of unrefined essence of heaven and earth into their bodies.

This was a suicidal act for anyone.

But Bai Chen did not care. He felt that if one dose of the essence of heaven and earth was not enough to reopen the Governor Vessel, then two doses.

If two doses were not enough, then four doses, and so on, absorbing a massive amount of unrefined essence of heaven and earth into his body.

The damage to Bai Chen was significant, but the Xu Hu Gong also came into play at the same time.

The more damage, the more malevolent qi was generated, and the more malevolent qi was transformed into the purest true qi by the Xu Hu Gong.

In fact, for anyone, there was no real can or cannot.

It was just a matter of adaptation. If one could survive this process of self-refinement, anyone could withstand the baptism of the essence of heaven and earth.

Of course, in theory, this was true, but the number of people who could actually achieve it was few.

After cultivating the "Dragon Transformation Technique," Bai Chen's body was already different from ordinary people. With the dual protection of the Fire Brand Robe and the Xu Hu Gong, the impossible became possible.

This brutal cultivation method would cause most people to die halfway.

But for Bai Chen, this pain was not as severe as the pain of the Hundred Flowers Burial, or the invasion of the venomous worms into the Dantian.

At this moment, the three venomous worms in Bai Chen's Dantian seemed much more obedient, no longer causing trouble, all curled up and trembling in the Dantian.

This was not hard to understand. Worms themselves could also transform into dragons, but they needed special methods, and the dragons they transformed into were not pure dragons but lesser dragons.

Bai Chen's unintentional aura made them instinctively feel fear, which was their natural reaction.

Just like a house cat, no matter how fierce it is in front of a mouse, it will still cower in front of a tiger.

This was the most primitive fear of a lower being towards a higher being. Even if these three venomous worms shed their worm bodies and transformed into dragons in the future, they would still not be exempt from their reverence for Bai Chen.

Bai Chen's current appearance was particularly terrifying, with blood flowing from his nose, mouth, and eyes, but he was still holding on.

He clearly did not know that he had already inadvertently resolved the threat to his life.

He still naively believed that if he couldn't make it, he would have to give up his life here.

Sixteen times the essence of heaven and earth fiercely impacted the Governor Vessel's acupoint, and Bai Chen's body trembled slightly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This impact left Bai Chen completely drained.

Qin Kelan had never seen such a tragic scene. Seeing Bai Chen's struggle, her heart ached.

But she could do nothing to help, only hugging Bai Chen tightly and praying silently.

However, this impact made the Governor Vessel's acupoint start to tremble.

This discovery invigorated Bai Chen. If sixteen times the essence of heaven and earth was not enough, then thirty-two times!!

For Bai Chen, as long as he could open the Governor Vessel, all the costs were worth it.

The surrounding air began to gather wildly around Bai Chen, and Qin Kelan felt the change in the surrounding essence of heaven and earth, making her even more nervous.

She instinctively felt that this might be a crucial impact for Bai Chen.

A large amount of the essence of heaven and earth was absorbed into Bai Chen's body, making him appear a few inches larger.

Taking a deep breath, he controlled all the essence of heaven and earth he could.

This essence of heaven and earth transformed into a giant dragon, like a wild horse, rolling continuously in Bai Chen's eight extraordinary meridians.

"Be obedient!!" Bai Chen almost ground his teeth, as the essence of heaven and earth was too vast, almost reaching the limit of what he could control.

At this moment, the three venomous worms, which had been round and plump, suddenly became shriveled.

Bai Chen suddenly noticed that there was an additional true qi in his Dantian, but he had no time to think about where it came from.

For this wild dragon, Bai Chen had to use every resource available.

With this additional true qi, Bai Chen's control increased.

When the essence of heaven and earth reached the Governor Vessel's acupoint, Bai Chen roared in his heart.

Forcing the direction of the essence of heaven and earth, he fiercely impacted the Governor Vessel.
