Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Peak of Bodily Chakra

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Once again diving deep into the water, even with the ice cold water around him, Zong Shou could only feel an unbearable heat around his body.

Without needing to use any punches, sweat came out from his pores. It was all dark black and thick as ink.

This was the effect of the Blood Flame Fish, helping excrete the impurities within one’s body and strengthen it. The blood of six fifty-kilogram Blood Flame Fish was worth one Grade Two spirit pill, and even much more.

However when Zong Shou stood on that stone platform he didn’t practice his fist. Instead he took that Grade Two Lighting Tooth Sword, waving it underwater.

That chaotic cape fist only needed to be slightly modified and became a chaotic cape wind sword technique, similarly causing the bottom of the pond to surge, currents chaotically flowing around. A giant whirlpool was slowly formed underwater. He didn’t bother about the consequences, causing it to get bigger and bigger, exceeding when he trained in the fist by several times.

Zong Shou wasn’t foolishly standing at the center of the whirlpool, instead he picked up his Lighting Tooth Sword and swam around the whirlpool.

He actually started training in body and sword techniques in the whirlpool. His footsteps were really simple, the most basic footwork... but while being used by him they were forever changing and he easily avoided the chaotic currents.

His sword techniques were the same, too, but he wasn’t using basic sword stances.

During those thirteen years, all the sword techniques in Zong Shou’s memory, as well as some exquisite techniques he saw along the way, were all used by him.

Every sword stabbed out in a critical state, or was used to crush the shockingly powerful currents, making this underwater whirlpool bigger and more explosive. Slowly, the surrounding spiritual energy followed his sword and surged around him.

In his last life, his unparalleled and precise sword, which specialized in life and death battles, was trained through such methods.

Not only was the sword art invincible,his movement techniques were also among the top of those that hadn’t Ascended.

Thirty minutes later, Zong Shou’s stamina was lacking, and the speed of the sword in his hand slowed down slightly. The frenzied whirlpool reduced its spinning speed.

Zong Shou’s brow also furrowed.

“My World Shocking Spiritual Art for the Bodily Chakra level has nearly been completed. Its many weaknesses need to be perfected one by one in the future! However, although this energy training method has been completed, it is unable to coordinate with sword techniques and various striking techniques, what a huge problem...”

Zong Shou had a headache. He knew no less than thousands of sword techniques and other cultivation methods. However, none of them were able to activate his spiral energy!

When he displayed those exquisite sword techniques from his memory, he always felt like there were some obstacles. After all, not every sword technique was like the Styx River Death Sword, which could perfectly merge with all sorts of energy cultivation methods.

Thinking about that, Zong Shou couldn’t help but sigh. He knew that he needed to spend some effort. Since he had already created this World Shocking Spiritual Art, then he naturally had to have a sword art that was suitable for it.

With his mind made up, Zong Shou’s sword art changed and turned really slow. His main focus changed from training the sword to testing it out. His mind swiftly turned as he tried to form a new sword technique; unknowingly, he was soon totally immersed in it.

——

Over the next few days, Zong Shou’s tracks were fixed. Every morning he would rush to this blackwater pond and would train his fists twice, and train his sword once, each session lasting for four hours. At midnight, he would return back to the lake to rest.

However on the fourth day, Ye Feihan who had left along with her sister, once again appeared in front of him. However this time Ye Feishuang was beside her.

The former had a really good expression while the latter’s face was flushed red. After hesitating she blurted out, “Can you help us make those things to eat? Anything is good!”

After she said that, she seemed like she was really afraid that Zong Shou wouldn’t agree, putting a Grade Three mind stone in front of him. Her voice became louder like she was in the right, “I will pay you to make us food! One for one meal, I know that these mind stones are really expensive in your cities!”

Not knowing whether or not it was a coincidence, just as the mind stone was placed down, Ye Feishuang’s stomach growled. Ye Feihan also made a pitiful face, her hands clasped as she begged him, “Younger Brother Shou, my sister and I hadn’t eaten in two days. Brother Shou is a nice person and you will help us, right? My sister and I are so useless, the food we made is so bad, we are about to starve to death...”

That Ye Feishuang’s face was really bitter, unable to look into Zong Shou’s eyes.

Zong Shou’s face was really weird. Be it his identity as Gantian Mountain Prince in this life or Sword Emperor Tanqiu in his last life, he didn’t need to fall to having to be a chef for others, right?

Thinking about it, Zong Shou sighed, thinking that since he had nothing to do, forming a relationship with this pair of siblings was not bad.

He also accepted that Grade Three mind stone like it belonged to him, stowing it in his sleeves. He didn’t dare to accept the bag of mind stones, but this piece was one he happily accepted.

In his last life, for others to invite him when he was at the Sword Emperor level, and whose cooking was close to that of top chefs, they would at least need to give him a Grade Seven mind stone, and the cost of the ingredients was also separate.

Only accepting one small Grade Three mind stone was being really nice to this pair of sisters!

Looking at Ye Feishuang’s tight expression relaxing, Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile, and he started a fire.

The ingredients were hunted and obtained by the two of them. Zong Shou was only in charge of processing the ingredients. Unfortunately, as he didn’t have any other tools, he could only barbecue.

However the ingredients that the two retrieved surprised him. There wasn’t only fish; who knows how, but they also captured two Blood Gold Serpents. That made Zong Shou’s eyes light up; with other tastes, at least he wouldn’t be choked to death by the fishy smell.

——

The next few days were just like that, only every noon or night there would be two girls who came over to eat and drink for free.

Well, he couldn’t say it was for free, since they paid. Occasionally, when Ye Feishuang felt satisfied, she would happily reward him with three to five mind stones, which were all Grade Three and really pure.

However this Ye Feishuang was really thrifty and everytime she would hesitate, afraid that she gave too much, making Zong Shou laugh until his stomach hurt.

Ye Feishuang was really cold and arrogant, thinking that she was really smart, always being wary of Zong Shou. As the elder sister she took great care of her younger sister. Ye Feihan, on the other hand, was really pure and direct, not scheming at all and not needing to cover up anything.

With these two girls accompanying him, occasionally talking about various matters, Zong Shou’s daily cultivation didn’t feel so dry.

He was filled with emotions. In the past, when he was tired from cultivating, he could only go online and find girls to chat with to help him feel less bored. How could he be like now, where there were two more beautiful monster girls beside him, making him feel so comfortable?

With his mood staying better, it also helped his daily cultivation speed up. He actually used just twenty days to open up all the acupoints within his External Chakra Meridian.

When all 480 acupoints around his body were all opened and reached the peak, the immense energy within his meridians boiled, naturally charging towards the two Earth Gates.

Just as they were halfway there, Zong Shou forcibly stopped them. He knew that his twenty-odd days of body training had widened and strengthened his meridians. Although with his Dual Meridian Body the amount of true qi he had was three times that of normal peak nine meridian Mythic Masters, he was still a far ways before being able to open the Earth Gate. If he tried now, it was useless.

He remembered in his last life he had gathered five times the true qi of normal people, along with the Styx River Death Sword that he had comprehended, and used a Barrier Softening Pill before being able to break through the Barriers from Heaven. Now, he was not far away from that stage.

He suppressed it now because he was prepared to break through all at once, and not lose any momentum!

Zong Shou’s skin and muscles were now slowly solidifying and forming a layer of hard skin on his body. To contend against that heavy water pressure and the centrifugal force, his minor and major organs, bones, and tendons were all really strong now.

Even if he stood within the whirlwind and forcibly countered it, he would not be harmed. He had also increased the speed of the Chaotic Cape Wind Fist technique, doubling the speed of the whirlpool. Every ten days he would double it again.

In another short sixty days, the thickened skin started to suddenly peel off, revealing the seemingly youthful and soft skin, no different from normal fourteen-year olds.

However at this moment, a casual punch from Zong Shou could make the depths of the water shake.

“Today without using any external strength, one fist can wield 10,500 kilograms of strength, no different from people who have just entered Xiantian. With this speed, in just a little time I can try to break the Barriers from Heaven!”

Joy filled his heart as his fist speed increased; not just the current, even the spiritual energy started to form a storm.

The entire depths of the pond, and even the rocks and stones, started to shake. Numerous rock particles fell down.

If one looked from outside the pond now, one would be able to see that two thousand feet of the pond’s surface was turning into a giant whirlpool.

—

After it ended, Zong Shou didn’t bother about the chaos below him and directly jumped out of the pond.

He opened his hands, and a ball of water and fire spiral suddenly appeared.

Zong Shou’s eyes couldn’t help but show some satisfaction. Although a dozen Meridian Spirit Pills hadn’t let his meridians evolve into a spiral shape, now he could use up to sixty percent of his actual strength, twenty percent of what normal people had! In terms of stamina there was also a large increase; at least he wouldn’t pant after walking a few steps. Now he could walk over ten steps before panting...

...Although he was still really weak, it was a change in nature.

“I have some ideas regarding that sword technique. With the Heaven Spiral Energy as an example to follow, it is easy to achieve! However, once I break through the Barriers from Heaven, I need to merge my Earth veins into my body. Chuxue is about to completely train in her first meridian. Seems like it’s time I started collecting suitable Earth veins...”
