It seemed there was no other choice! At this crisis, Mu Hanyan could no longer hesitate; she guided the power of the Dragon Blood Stone directly towards her Heart Meridian.
Her Heart Meridian, after undergoing the Star Illusion Thousand Machineâs meridian clearing and marrow washing, had become boundless and vast. If there was any place in her body that could contain the power of the Dragon Blood Stone, it was only here.
Mu Hanyan didnât know whether her Heart Meridian had a greater capacity, or if the power of the Dragon Blood Stone was more overwhelming. She also didnât know if this action would damage her Heart Meridian, but she no longer had a choice, having been backed into a corner.
The red surge, once it entered the Heart Meridian, was like a dam-break flood, raging into the sea.
Mu Hanyanâs Heart Meridian, like the calm and expansive surface of a lake, stirred up a tumultuous wave, shuddering intensely. Mu Hanyanâs heart also rose to her throat.
For an ordinary cultivator, the Heart Meridian is extremely fragile and mysterious, and once it is shattered, life is hard to preserve. Therefore, they all regard it as the vita nexus, being always careful to protect it.
The Heavenly Heart Technique of the Mu Family is profoundly mysterious, refining the Heaven and Earth Power with the Heart Meridian to cultivate the Strongest Energy. However, this does not mean that their Heart Meridians are much stronger than those of ordinary people. For the Mu Family, the Heart Meridian is just as fragile and mysterious and even more important for their cultivation, necessitating greater caution and protection.
Introducing such a terrifying force that oneâs own meridians couldnât bear directly into the meridians, Mu Hanyan was definitely the first in the history of the Mu Family.
As the trembling of the Heart Meridian grew, Mu Hanyan shook with tension all over! She was gambling with her life, and in order to survive, she had to take this gamble!
The tremors in the Heart Meridian became more and more violent, and waves of pain came, as if a sharp needle had pierced deep into the bone marrow.
This pain spread throughout her body; every meridian, every bone, even every pore was in severe pain.
Such agony might not be bearable by a normal human being. Despite Mu Hanyanâs will having become incredibly resilient, she couldnât help but let out a painful moan, and from between her clenched teeth seeped traces of blood.
More than once, she wanted to give up. But the unwillingness to surrender kept echoing in her heart: To live again, she absolutely couldnât just die like this. Even in the last moments of life, as long as there was a breath left, as long as a shred of consciousness remained, she must never give up.
The previous lifeâs tragic death scene surged into her heart again, her eyes filled with blood, Mu Hanyan bit down hard on her teeth and continued to persist, persist.
"Boom!" A loud noise echoed through her mind.
At that moment, Mu Hanyan almost thought she had been split apart by the force of the Dragon Blood Stone, but soon she realized this was not the case.
At the center of the Heart Meridian, the middle point that was like a starry sky, the star symbolizing the Seventh-Order Swordsman suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light. All of the Dragon Blood Stoneâs power that had flooded the Heart Meridian began to rotate around this star as a center, forming a flame-like star nebula, and in the rotation, it constantly condensed.
Due to the condensing of this power, the impact on the Heart Meridian was greatly lessened, and naturally, the bone-penetrating agony was also considerably alleviated.
Mu Hanyanâs Mental State, which had become gradually lost due to the pain, also regained clarity and she felt, with surprise, that she had broken through the bottleneck and reached the Seventh-Order Swordsman.
Mu Hanyan then noticed that what had been shrouded in the flaming star nebula and subsequently lit up were not one star, but two; it was only because the distance was too close that she hadnât realized it before.
That is to say, only when these two stars lit up could she attain the rank of Seventh-Order Swordsman.
