Innate Leakless, the Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye, and the Demon Capital Grand Gathering
The exhilarating battle just now had greatly relaxed Dongfang Yueming's mind, but at this moment, the light in his eyes was sharper than ever before.
"Both physical tempering and Qi Gathering have reached the Top-Tier Perfection. Now, it's time to push the Meridian Opening to its limit as well."
He took out the "Purple Gold Meridian-Opening True Scripture" that Hong Gui had given him.
"System, begin Point Allocation!"
[Ding! You have learned the Earth-Grade Meridian Opening Method - "The Purple Gold Meridian-Opening True Scripture" (0/3600, not yet at the Entry)!]
Seeing that it required 3,600 points to get started, Dongfang Yueming didn't even frown.
[Ding! 3600 points consumed, advancing to the first level of Meridian Opening!]
"Boom!"
The moment the command was given, Dongfang Yueming felt as if a heavy bomb had been dropped on the surging purple-blue true energy within his body, which had been flowing like a river! The violent energy instantly reversed and began to frantically wash over the extremely subtle and even incompletely developed hidden meridians within his body in an almost savage manner.
[Ding! 3600 points consumed, advancing to the second level!][3600 points consumed, advancing to the third level!]
[Ding! 4800 points consumed, advanced to the fourth level!][4800 points consumed, advanced to the fifth level!][4800 points consumed, advanced to the sixth level!]
The internal energy circulated faster and faster within the body, and the walls of the meridians even emitted a layer of metallic luster, almost like a tangible substance.
"Continue!"
[Ding! 7200 points consumed, advanced to the seventh level!][7200 points consumed, advanced to the eighth level!][7200 points consumed, advanced to the ninth level!]
[Ding! 10800 points consumed, "Purple Gold Meridian-Opening True Scripture" advances to Meridian Opening Perfection!]
"Buzz--!"
As this Earth Grade cultivation technique reached its Perfection, the total amount of true energy within Dongfang Yueming's body experienced another terrifying surge.
"Next comes the most crucial step."
He took a deep breath and forcefully kneaded the two Earth-Grade Meridian Opening Method — the Great Wilderness Creation Meridian Opening True Scripture and the Purple Gold Meridian-Opening True Scripture —together in his Sea of Consciousness!
"Melt it for me!"
"BOOM!!!"
If the previous integration was like rivers converging, then this time it's like galaxies colliding!
The Vitality of green wood, the steadiness of thick earth, and the domineering power of purple gold, under the supreme power of the system, began to intertwine in a way that was almost like the rhythm of the Dao.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]
[Obtained the Heaven Grade Meridian Opening Technique - "Limitless Meridian Opening Scripture" (Perfection)!]
The moment the Heaven Grade cultivation technique was completed, a strange buzzing sound erupted from Dongfang Yueming's body.
The dark golden outer aura on his skin instantly receded and vanished without a trace. However, the true energy within his body completely sealed off all his pores and acupoints in an utterly unbelievable way!
His body has formed an absolutely perfect, self-sufficient ultimate internal cycle! Even if there is not a trace of spiritual energy in the outside world, he can still engage in endless battles with his perfect internal cycle, and his true energy is almost inexhaustible!
[Top-Tier Meridian Opening Perfection: Innate Leakless]!
"Innate Leakless..."
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power within his body, and a wildly arrogant smile appeared on his lips.
"Now, I've reached the limit of advancement in the Meridian Opening Realm. Even an old monster in the True Power Realm would be worn down and killed by me in a prolonged battle!"
He suppressed his excitement and took out the seven tattered jade slips that he had forcibly acquired from the black market.
"Next, the eye technique."
[Ding! Seven Yellow Grade Eye Techniques Learned (0/12, Not Entry)!]
"Point Allocation to Perfection!"
[Ding! 1596 points consumed, all seven Yellow Grade pupil techniques Perfection!]
Without any hesitation, Dongfang Yueming, including the previous "Illusion-Breaking Void Pupils," now has a total of eight Yellow Grade.
"Merge!"
Eight becomes four! Four becomes two!
Two extremely obscure, even somewhat bizarre, Earth Grade pupil techniques appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Remelt!"
"Buzz!"
Dongfang Yueming suddenly felt an extremely intense stinging pain in his eyes, as if two flames were burning in his eye sockets!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]
[Obtained Heaven Grade Pupil Qi Technique - "Nine Nether Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye" (Perfection)!]
The stinging sensation vanished instantly, replaced by an absolute clarity and a sense of complete control.
When Dongfang Yueming opened his eyes again.
The grayish-white vortex in his eyes disappeared, replaced by two dark golden halos that seemed to see through past and present lives and gaze directly at the origin of the laws!
[Ding! You have mastered the ultimate Heaven Grade Qi Technique - [Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye] (Passive/Active: In passive state, you are immune to all mental illusions and soul attacks. When activated actively, you can not only see through all disguises, illusions, and formations, but also directly see the flaws in the laws and weaknesses in the true qi of the enemy's moves, and understand the origin of all things)!]
"Confront the flaws in the rules..."
Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed. With this Heaven Grade pupil technique, any enemy's defense and attack would be full of flaws in his Central Capital, like child's play!
"Physical body, internal energy, Meridian Opening, lethal Qi Technique, eye techniques... all have reached the highest level achievable at present."
Dongfang Yueming stood up and dusted himself off.
"Now, it's time to see the most prestigious stage in Demon Capital."
A magnificent platform has been erected directly in front of Demon Capital Martial University.
As an auditor from Jinling Martial University, Dongfang Yueming was naturally forced by the school to participate in this so-called "grand ceremony" while mingling with the densely packed student ranks.
He was dressed in ordinary gray casual clothes, his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the important figures taking their seats on the platform.
"This is quite a grand display."
Dongfang Yueming inwardly scoffed. The scale of this welcoming ceremony was even more extravagant than attending a concert in her previous life.
Just then...
"Look! The heads of the three major families have arrived!"
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Surrounded by more than a dozen experts at the Meridian Opening Realm, Li Canghai, the head of the Chu Family, and the head of the Tang Family—the three true rulers of the underworld of Demon Capital —slowly walked onto the high platform. Their appearance instantly made the air in the entire square oppressive. The terrifying pressure belonging to the True Power Realm, even when deliberately restrained, made the ordinary students below feel breathless.
Immediately afterwards.
"The Night Watchers's Moon Grade powerhouse has arrived too!"
In the sky, two streaks of light fell like meteorites, landing steadily on the other side of the high platform.
The appearance of Baihu, dressed in a white uniform, with a full head of silver hair and an icy Baihu, and Qinglong, wearing a black trench coat and with sinister eyes, once again caused a stir.
Just then...
"Boom--!!!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the horizon!
A massive, jet-black military-grade heavy cruiser, resembling a winged dragon, ripped through the clouds above Demon Capital with an aggressive stance, hovering slowly above the plaza with terrifying air currents!
A massive shadow instantly enveloped the entire Demon Capital Martial University!
"This... this is a military strategic warship?!"
"The Long Family! It's the Long Family from Capital!"
The cruiser's hatch slowly opened.
An aged yet resonant voice, like the grandest of bells, emanated from within the warship, clearly echoing in the ears of everyone in the square:
"This old man, Long Batian, has come to Capital with students from Demon Capital to seek your guidance!"
Before he could finish speaking...
"Whoosh!"
A blinding golden beam of true energy shot out directly from the warship's hatch and slammed heavily into the center of the high platform in the plaza!
"Snap!"
The platform, made of a special alloy, instantly cracked with countless spiderweb-like fissures under this force!
The beam of light dissipated.
An elderly man, dressed in a long robe embroidered with gold, with white hair and beard, but whose eyes shone like two blazing suns, appeared on the high platform.
He is Long Batian, the core elder of the Long Family, a powerful figure at the Peak True Power Realm and Half-Step Sea of Consciousness of Long Batian!
Behind him followed a dozen or so proud and arrogant young talents from Capital, as well as several guards with profound auras at the Meridian Opening Realm.
"What terrifying pressure! Is this the foundation of Capital's super families?!"
The 100,000 students below were rendered speechless by this imposing aura.
On the high platform.
The expressions of the three family heads, including Li Canghai, changed slightly. They never expected that Long Batian would be so arrogant, destroying half of the high platform as soon as he appeared. This was a blatant slap in the face!
"Elder Long has come from afar; his entrance is quite unique indeed," the Chu Family head sneered through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, I'm getting old and my legs aren't as nimble as they used to be. I couldn't control my strength and made the three family heads laugh at me."
Long Batian gave a forced smile and cupped his hands in greeting, but his blazing eyes showed no apology whatsoever; instead, they were filled with an aggressive sharpness.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the three heads of the family with extreme arrogance. Although his voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Besides Martial Dao exchanges, I've come to Demon Capital this time on someone's behalf to investigate a messy affair."
Long Batian's eyes suddenly turned icy cold.
"We, the Long Family, will remember what happened to the Pan Family."
"Boom!"
This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!
The Long Family actually revealed the annihilation of the Pan Family in front of 100,000 people! This was tantamount to humiliating the three major families, and it was a blatant act of pressure and a declaration of war!
