334 Joy and Sorrow

Upon hearing that Xia Weijun was about to break through, Lu Li and Xiao Cha stopped their commotion.

Whether it's Martial Arts or spiritual cultivation, advancing to a higher realm always comes with enormous risks.

Xiao Cha quickly asked, "Why the rush? Did you tell True Master Li?"

"Yes, I have already informed my master."

Xia Weijun took a deep breath, suppressing her restless Internal Breath, before speaking:

"No need to worry, I was preparing for my breakthrough beforehand, and with so much spiritual energy from Brother Lu, this time it's an effortless advancement, something many people would kill for!"

The breakthrough that comes naturally when one accumulates to the limit is the state that countless martial artists dream of.

But the inevitable risks will still exist. Lu Li said seriously, "Sister Xia, I will take care of you with True Master Li."

"It's not just you, Xiao Cha and Wan Qing have to come too."

Xia Weijun smiled casually, "Witnessing a breakthrough to the Innate Realm firsthand is a rare opportunity."

To put it bluntly, observing how others navigate dangerous situations beforehand is an invaluable lesson.

Lu Li would be able to see for himself what this so-called "innate" ability was all about!

I'm missing a leg... can I really manage?

At that moment, a violent whooshing sound broke through the air, and Li Yuanzhong arrived using his movement technique.

Its explosive speed exceeds the Mach, and it can generate gale-force winds of level seven or eight when it moves, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The Grandmaster was clearly anxious and secretly complained that things had happened too suddenly.

One can activate their Heavenly Eye to investigate and immediately understand the whole story.

"Having grasped the essence, the water overflowed on its own!"

Li Yuanzhong nodded repeatedly and said:

"The opportunity has arrived, and there's no time like the present, so let's break through!"

"This disciple will certainly not disappoint Master."

Xia Weiyin nodded vigorously... then looked at Lu Li and asked, "Where's Wan Qing?"

Wan Qing ate too much wit and now she's in a dormant state.

Lu Li said, "She's a little unavailable for the time being, so there's no need to worry about her. Just focus on your breakthrough."

Li Yuanzhong also said, "After young friend Lu has seen it, he can then convey it using [Sense Transmission]."

Sense Transmission is a technique for astral projection that allows you to convey scenes from your mind to others.

The principle behind this is simply to share the "neural electrical signals" of the five senses through the mind.

This was not difficult for Lu Li; he could convert his mind into "electromagnetic signals" to control electronic devices.

Simply sharing "neural electrical signals" is not difficult, especially since it only requires sharing vision.

Lu Li first activated his Heavenly Eye, then released his mental energy to cover Xiao Cha's eyeballs, transmitting "neural signals".

Xiao Cha was suddenly shocked to realize that she also had the ability to see into Heavenly Eye Jie's body!

The muscles, bones, internal organs, the Internal Breath circulating in the meridians, and all the acupoints... all can be seen clearly and distinctly!

"You can do that?! That's utterly shameless..."

Xiao Cha was amazed by the powerful function of "Internal Vision" when she experienced it for the first time!

Everyone else is like the blind men and the elephant, relying on brute force to achieve miracles, but you seem to be able to see it with your eyes open. Isn't that like cheating?

At this moment, Li Yuanzhong also used [Sense Transmission] on his disciple, while reminding him:

"Yan'er, calm down and don't panic no matter what happens. A mere innate level is not a difficult thing for you."

"Master, rest assured, I am full of confidence, let's begin!"

Xia Weiyin took a deep breath, and then her heart began to pound violently, surging a huge amount of Internal Breath into her meridians.

In the vision of the Heavenly Eye, countless bright blue tubes appeared inside Xia Weijun's body.

Immediately afterwards, all the acupoints on her body began to emit a faint blue light.

These "functional valves" on the meridians begin to exert force and increase pressure.

Xia Weiyin condensed all his Internal Breath into a small stream, making it extremely solid, almost reaching the form of Innate True Qi.

Next, this "half-true energy" split into two.

A stream travels up the lower abdomen, through the chest and throat, and into the jaw.

Another stream travels up the spine, past the back of the head and the top of the head, finally circling around and entering the upper jaw from the bridge of the nose.

This energy cultivation route is precisely the legendary "Ren and Du meridians"!

These two meridians run along the central axis of the human body, forming an optimal natural energy channel.

Convenient and efficient, it easily transports energy to all parts of the body—truly wonderful.

However, the two meridians are severed at the mouth, and Jin Xiantian's goal is to "connect" them!

Xia Weiyin pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, forming a bridge between the Ren and Du meridians, commonly known as "building a golden bridge".

The next step is crucial: connecting the Ren and Du meridians via the Golden Bridge.

This step is extremely risky!

A massive amount of high-pressure Internal Breath converges in the oral cavity; the area slightly above it is the brain, and the area slightly behind it is the cervical spine.

The slightest mistake is like detonating a grenade in your head; at the very least, it could result in high-level paraplegia.

Everyone's expression tightened, and Lu Li and Xiao Cha were sweating bullets.

Li Yuanzhong's hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his feet had somehow gotten stuck in the floor tiles!

Xia Weijun entered his tutelage at the age of three and was raised by him personally. Although they were nominally master and disciple, they were in reality father and daughter.

The little bundle of flesh called out "Master" in its childish voice, as if it were just yesterday, and now it is about to step into the threshold of life and death.

No one can guarantee success at this step. If things go wrong, it is usually a close relative who will step in to extricate the person from suffering and humiliation.

Li Yuanzhong had freed his senior sister, and that feeling... he really didn't want to experience it a second time.

At this moment, seeing his disciple's two streams of high-pressure Internal Breath converge in his mouth along the Ren and Du meridians... the Grandmaster's eyes twitched involuntarily.

When people are nervous or panicked, they can make mistakes even in things that are normally easy.

Li Yuanzhong was extremely nervous, fearing that his disciple might make a mistake at the critical moment, leading to a tragedy.

He's just being too concerned.

Xia Weiyin was a key member of the [Killing for Benevolence Society], and had killed countless powerful figures from Izumo. His willpower was extraordinary.

Furthermore, with the help of [Sense Transmission], and the fact that his body was filled with the divine substance of spiritual energy, this breakthrough was impossible to fail!

"Open!"

With a sharp cry, a vortex of energy erupted around Xia Weijun.

From deep within her mouth, at the base of her tongue, came a muffled, loud thud, like a bomb exploding in the water.

Blood welled up in her mouth, but her expression was one of immense joy.

He raised his hand, and a light blue flame rose from his palm—it was "Innate True Qi"!

"It's done! This disciple has lived up to expectations and has not disgraced you, Master!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Yuanzhong breathed a long sigh of relief, and after a careful inspection, said with satisfaction:

"The breakthrough was flawless, I'm so lucky!"

Congratulations!

Lu Li and Xiao Cha also offered their congratulations.

At this moment, everyone's faces were full of joy, but Lu Li felt a chill in his heart.

Witnessing the entire process firsthand was an immense help, but it also highlighted the difficulties involved.

One small change can have far-reaching consequences; advancing to the Innate Realm involves more than just the Ren and Du meridians.

The total amount of Internal Breath, the pressure applied to acupoints, the beating of the heart... this is the operation of the entire body!

Although I'm only missing a calf, I have --

Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian...

Six meridians are incomplete!

Neither physical strength nor the total amount of Internal Breath can reach the standard for advancing to the Innate Realm.

This is a fundamental deficiency; if it's not there, it's not there, and even if you immerse yourself in inspiration, it's all in vain.

"This is troublesome..."

Lu Li was in a dilemma and somewhat resentful.

The Kunlun Mirror absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, vigorously opened up its Sea of Consciousness, and made rapid progress in its Spirit Refinement cultivation.

With the help of spiritual energy, Martial Arts cultivation should have progressed smoothly.

But he's hampered by a broken leg, and he doesn't know how long he'll be stuck... maybe even for life!

Without advancing to the innate level, one cannot Manifestation.

When will the Three-headed Dragon, which feeds on fear and hatred, finally emerge...?
