Chapter 592 - 13: Remolding the Meridians

All kinds of evil thoughts corrode the divine soul.

The heart demon breeds, shaking the will.

Chen Tang uses the visualization method to guard his mind and uphold the righteousness in his heart, in order to temper his will and refine his sword intent.

The stronger the will, the more intense the gleam of sword light in his chest becomes!

During the resistance against evil thoughts, the divine soul is also forced to grow and become more refined.

Chen Tang dares not be distracted, already forgetting where he is and forgetting the pain he feels.

If he relaxes even slightly, he will be devoured by evil thoughts and become a slave to demons.

He is unaware that the drop of demon blood is bringing earth-shattering changes to his body!

The purple demon blood drops onto his chest, bursting forth with an incredibly terrifying energy, as if possessing a spirit of its own, gradually spreading over his wounds, continuously repairing tore flesh and reconnecting muscles and bones!

The many broken bone stubs gather and adhere under the purple demon blood.

Chen Tang’s injuries are healing rapidly!

Furthermore, Chen Tang’s originally shattered meridians are also being repaired bit by bit under the cover of purple demon blood.

To be precise, it’s more like the meridians are being reshaped!

The newly born meridians are wider and much more resilient than the previously shattered ones, appearing purple-red.

Golden qi and blood surge through the meridians like great rivers, roaring and rumbling!

The meridians are like channels.

After reshaping the meridians, it’s akin to widening the channels within Chen Tang’s body.

This means that the power and impact from Chen Tang when circulating qi and blood will be much more fierce than before!

The cultivation speed will also advance by leaps and bounds!

Widened channels mean easier passage, resulting in faster cultivation speed.

When in Nanxia entering the Third Grade, Chen Tang, relying on two divine skills, "Vajra Unbreakable Technique" and "Kun Breathing Technique," pushed through six of the twelve meridians in one go!

According to the Sword Sect, in the Meridian Passage Realm, whether it’s the Eight Extraordinary Meridians or the Twelve Meridians, the further one progresses, the stronger the inner qi and qi and blood needed to pass through the meridians, and the slower the cultivation speed becomes.

For someone like Chen Tang, the remaining six meridians might take one or two years, or as long as three to five years, to fully unblock.

Back then, Emperor Wu also spent a full three years in the Third Grade Meridian Passage Realm.

This is with Chen Tang’s exceptional talent and superior cultivation techniques.

For many martial artists, the last Ren and Du Meridians might take one or two decades, or they might never be able to unblock them.

Now, the purple demon blood is not only healing Chen Tang’s injuries but also reshaping the meridians, in this process, driving the qi and blood to continually impact the seventh meridian.

Soon, this newly reshaped meridian was penetrated by Chen Tang’s qi and blood.

And there’s no sign of this impact stopping!

Chen Tang’s aura continues to rise!

The Demon Venerable stood watching for a while.

The changes that the purple demon blood brought to Chen Tang’s body had long been within his expectations.

But the sword intent surging in Chen Tang’s chest surprised him a bit.

"Rare indeed."

The Demon Venerable nodded slightly.

Chen Tang’s understanding of his own sword intent at this realm is related to his early activation of the Mud Ball Palace and entering the Divine State.

Even so, for him to find his path and comprehend sword intent at such an age is rare indeed.

Of course, this sword intent is just starting to show its sharpness, with limited lethality, far inferior to the martial arts will in the hands of a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm.

"Still lacks maturity, needs further honing."

Lightly murmuring, the Demon Venerable, seeing that Chen Tang’s condition had stabilized, then left the chamber.

The Death Demon and Yin Demon waited in his Huazizai Palace, and upon seeing the Demon Venerable come out, they stepped forward and bowed in greeting: "Greetings, Master."

The Demon Venerable said casually, "I will be out for a while, all affairs of the Demon Sect are temporarily handed over to you two."

"As you command."

The Death Demon slightly bowed his head, speaking little.

Yin Demon’s expression shifted, and he smiled, saying, "Disciple wishes Master a triumphant return, subduing Emperor Wu, and becoming the number one in the world!"

"How do you know I went to find Emperor Wu?"

The Demon Venerable glanced at him.

Yin Demon smiled and said, "I have placed some spies in Nanxia, gaining much information. Among them is a rumor that this Chen Tang may be related to Emperor Wu. Additionally, Master had Senior Brother investigate this person’s origins. I boldly speculate that Master has already found out the whereabouts of Emperor Wu."

The Demon Venerable said, "You are always wise."

Pleased by the Demon Venerable’s praise, Yin Demon quickly said, "In this battle, Master will surely achieve a great victory!"

The Demon Venerable’s expression remained unchanged, directly heading outside the Huazizai Palace, with a deep gaze towards the direction of Beiqian, saying, "Decades have passed; I never expected he’d still be alive, giving me this opportunity to avenge past humiliations."

The chamber door was not closed, occasionally transmitting Chen Tang’s intermittent groans.

Chen Tang’s previous injuries were too severe.

The decaying flesh, broken bones, and shattered meridians made the recovery process extremely painful.

Yin Demon took a glance over there and asked, "Master, since this Chen Tang is a descendant of Emperor Wu, how should we handle him?"

The Demon Venerable said, "I have passed on the demonic technique to him, planning to take him as my closed-door disciple on my return, and give him the name ’Demon Monarch.’

Yin Demon was a bit stunned.

He had not expected the Demon Venerable to make such arrangements.

The four disciples under the Demon Venerable’s seat were known as the Four Demons of Xiling.

Their titles were all bestowed by the Demon Venerable, ending with ’Demon.’

Senior Brother is the Celestial Demon, he is the Yin Demon, and the Third Brother is the Death Demon.

The Demon Venerable seems to regard this Chen Tang highly, bestowing on him the title ’Demon Monarch,’ with ’Demon’ in front!

This title is very similar to that of the Demon Venerable.

The Demon Venerable added, "However, after this child’s injuries heal, he may not stay here. You guys keep an eye on him until I return."

"Understood!"

"As you command."

Yin Demon and Death Demon echoed in response.

After speaking, the Demon Venerable moved, spreading his arms like a giant black bird sweeping across the sky, disappearing in an instant.

"Master is getting on in years, yet shows no signs of aging, and his cultivation is ever more refined."

Yin Demon sighed.

"Hmm."

The Death Demon was sparing with words.

Yin Demon pondered, "This time we have another little junior brother; it’s a big deal for the Demon Sect, worthy of celebration."

"Hmm."

The Death Demon nodded.

Though already knowing Death Demon’s usual silent demeanor, Yin Demon still found it uninteresting, feeling like talking to himself, making himself seem foolish.

Yin Demon stroked his chin, his eyes flickering, and said, "However, if the little junior brother wants to leave, we must ensure we watch over him, lest he escapes."

"Third Brother, do you have any methods?"

This time, Yin Demon changed tactics, asking directly.

"Hmm."

The Death Demon responded again.

Yin Demon couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "I’m asking if you have any methods, why just grunt?"

"Hmm?"

The Death Demon shook his head, changing the tone.

Yin Demon’s lips twitched.

Were it not for Death Demon being beyond his ability to defeat, he’d surely have taken action.

The ranking of the Four Demons is determined by the order in which they were recruited by the Demon Venerable.

He ranks second, but his cultivation realm is only Second Grade Innate Realm, while the senior brother and third junior brother have already entered the Divine Illumination Realm, achieving Grandmaster status!
