Chapter 256: Breakthrough
The chilling aura was still continuously flowing into her body, becoming gloomier and colder. Her blood and even her meridians were showing signs of being frozen.
If the two Wind Owl Beasts could hear her inner thoughts, they would definitely feel wronged. They would probably think something along the lines of how they worked so hard and fought so hard for this with their lives, what did it have to do with this random girl? It was obvious to see that it was this girl who was greedy and cut in, and yet she still shamelessly blamed them for the situation she ended up in.
Ling Chuxi knew that continuing on like this would only end with her freezing to death sooner or later. She immediately calmed her thoughts and circulated her Thundercloud Battle Qi in her meridians. However, under such extreme coldness, even circulating her Thundercloud Battle Qi became an extremely difficult and slow task.
Ling Chuxi used her full concentration and used all her strength to circulate her Thundercloud Battle Qi though her meridians over and over again. All long as her Battle Qi did not cease circulating, her life would not be in danger for now.
Slowly, a pleasant surprise appeared like a flash in her eyes. Together with the circulation of her Thundercloud Battle Qi, the incomparably cold and gloomy aura was also integrated into her meridians and her Battle Qi seemed to become purer and purer, and more and more condensed as a result. These were the vague signs of a breakthrough.
Slowly, the cold aura flowing through her body became thicker and thicker. Ling Chuxi surprisingly realized that even the huge stones surrounding the area had already frozen over till they had split open and the two Wind Owl Beast were so scared that they were shivering. With a quick turn of their bodies, they escaped.
However, under the extreme cold she was experiencing, Ling Chuxi felt an odd sense of comfort and coziness. Even she herself was incredibly surprised by this.
The night sky thickened and Ling Chuxi noticed that she had been standing here for quite some time. By now, the Battle Qi in her meridians had been circulated so many times that she had lost count.
In the depths of her Qi Ocean, suddenly a crisp sound rang out, like a celestial sound. Her mind was plunged into a void in an instant.
A breakthrough… She had actually broken through! Ling Chuxi could feel that there was an unprecedented force of Battle Qi surging and flowing in her body. Level 9, this was Level 9 Battle Qi. She had actually broken through just like that.
Ling Chuxi was so happy and excited that she almost shouted aloud. However, she suppressed the ecstasy she felt within her heart.
This difficult task had not ended. The extremely cold and gloomy aura was still constantly flowing into her body and was actually slowly merging into the vast amounts of Level 9 Battle Qi running through her.
How was this possible? Ling Chuxi totally could not comprehend what was happening.
Logically speaking, with the might of thunder and the force of clouds rushing forth that was characteristic of Thundercloud Battle Qi, it was absolutely impossible that other types of Battle Qi or other qis could integrate together with it to become one. However, at this moment, the cold and gloomy qi seemed to have become a part of her. Even the Thundercloud Battle Qi did not seem to show any signs of rejecting it.
Two entirely different qis were actually flowing and integrating together, refining each other into becoming purer and purer, stronger and stronger. If things continued on like that, would it be possible for her to achieve another breakthrough past Level 9 and reach the realm of great fulfilment?
Ling Chuxi also could not delve into the reason for this as she focused her full concentration to cultivate at this moment. Such an opportunity for a promotion can be met but not sought. If it hadn’t been for these two Wind Owl Beasts, even if she had been searching for a year along the Silver Ancient Mountain Range, she would not have been able to find a place where she could borrow the advantage of such a terrain for such a promotion.
Without knowing when, the sky had already brightened, and the rising sun shone brightly like a thousand golden glows upon the earth.
A graceful figure stood upright atop an odd stone. Amidst the floating robes and sleeves of her garments, Ling Chuxi stood like a fairy in the wind, untainted by the dust of this world. The cold qi had long since disappeared, and there was no more frost and ice crystals on her face. She was so lovely and beautiful to look at that it was almost impossible for one to look at her directly.
Ling Chuxi slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, the Thundercloud Battle Qi in her meridians could no longer be described as abundant. The amount of Battle Qi contained within her was as plentiful as the waters of a majestic sea that was beyond her imagination. Even if just a tiny drop more was added, she feared she would die as a result of Battle Qi breaking through her meridians and rupturing her.
This, was this Battle Qi Level 9 Pinnacle stage? Just a little bit more and she would breakthrough past Level 9 as well, reaching the realm of great fulfilment.
