Amidst the astonished cries of the crowds in the Ninth Mountain and Sea, Meng Hao stood there up in the starry sky, his heart calm as he probed these two new Immortal meridians. When he did, he could clearly sense Patriarch Blood Demon and the Resurrection Lily.
As of this moment, all of the destiny and good fortune he had built up was now exploding out.
“Now I understand that destiny is a type of preparation,” he murmured. “In light of that, what exactly are Immortal meridians…?” Even as he reached some form of enlightenment, he continued to contemplate the 110 Immortal meridians inside of him.
“100 meridians really are a limit…. Cultivators’ bodies, their flesh and blood, can only form 100 meridians.
“My extra eight meridians are actually not part of my flesh and blood. They are actually a different kind of meridian, constructed on a foundation laid by the bronze lamp’s smoke!” 1
“It looks very similar to an Immortal meridian formed from flesh and blood, but actually, they are completely different on a structural level.
“As for the other two Immortal meridians, they are also different. They were formed from the consolidation of power, one from Patriarch Blood Demon and the other from the Resurrection Lily.
“Well then… what exactly are Immortal meridians…?” Slowly, he lifted his head, and his eyes shone with a bright light.
“Immortal meridians are a type of verification! They are a declaration to Heaven and Earth that one is qualified to become a true Immortal. It’s undeniable proof; it doesn’t matter whether Heaven and Earth approve or not, in the end they WILL acknowledge you. It is also …. Dao corroboration!
“That Soul Lamp’s power opened my path to true Immortality. My flesh and blood Immortal meridians pushed me to the pinnacle. The bronze dragon’s power helped me to expand upon that original Immortal meridian. Then, the power of Patriarch Blood Demon and the Resurrection Lily helped me to open up more Immortal meridians, and also… to understand them!
“Immortal meridians acquired before true Immortality are a type of good fortune. However, all other types of preparations and magical techniques have the possibility to… become Immortal meridians!”
“That is a manifestation of power, and a kind of concrete representation of the Dao!
“Anything… can become an Immortal meridian!” Meng Hao reached enlightenment at this point, at which point something like fetters shattered within him.
It was as if there were an obstacle inside of him that had suddenly shattered. As Meng Hao raised his head, his hair whipped about, and his clothes flapped in the wind. Brilliant light began to shine out of his eyes.
“I understand….”
Meanwhile, in the Ruins of Immortality, there was an Immortal’s cave. Sitting in that Immortal’s cave was a woman, the white-robed Paragon. A slight smile suddenly broke out on her cold face. That smile was faint, yet was something rarely seen on her.
“Pretty good intuition!” she said softly.
