Chapter 305 - Artificial Spiritual Meridian (2/2)

Gradually, Sixiang Shu lost his ability to resist. The True Energy in his body was draining out fast. His cultivation regressed to the Core Forming Realm, and then to the Foundation Building Realm. Finally, he even returned to the Qi Refining Realm. He could not withstand the strong wind on the Floating Platform.

The crowd below was stunned. “This… What is going on?”

Su Zimu smiled faintly and said, “What’s foreign stays foreign. Although the artificial Spiritual Meridian brings forth invincibility to the cultivator, its drawbacks are particularly obvious. That is, once they are catalyzed by themselves or by external forces, they will wither. And as far as I know, to implant the Spiritual Meridian, you must first remove your congenital Spiritual Meridian, right? It seems to me that this method of neglecting the fundamentals just for the final results will only end up with self-destruction.”

After listening to him, the crowd below began to discuss again. The elders of each sect frowned deeply. The Spiritual Meridian was congenital. Determining the natural endowments and future achievements were all dependent on the Spiritual Meridian. If Spiritual Meridians could be implanted into the body of a cultivator, it might not be a bad thing after all.

Therefore, not everyone had the same opinion regarding artificial Spiritual Meridians. In the distance, Yang Tianfeng’s heart sank as he thought of his son, whose cultivation regressed because of the withering of the Spiritual Meridian. Was it during the years he was out that he had become close with the Fallen Immortals Sect…?

On the Floating Platform, Sixiang Shu sneered, “It was just 10 Spiritual Meridians of the lowest grade. After I go back, I can re-implant them again. Self-destruction? Ahaha. A sect had said that many years ago, but that sect now has been extinct for thousands of years, ahaha…”

His voice echoed in the square, and Xiao Chen’s heart was shocked. He remembered it! He remembered it! Thousands of years ago, it seemed that there was indeed a small sect that was not highly valued by people proposing to implant spiritual roots or whatnot into the body of the cultivator to speed up cultivation.

In that same year, the Mystic Cyan Sect was the head of the Immortal’s Practice. That kind of proposal needed the approval of Mystic Cyan Sect before it could be implemented. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a cult. However, Qingxuan Perfected Immortal was someone full of righteousness. How was it possible that he agreed to this kind of evil cultivation method?

Therefore, Qingxuan Perfected Immortal strongly dismissed that proposal and reprimanded the head of that sect. The head of the sect had been resentful since then. As for what had happened after, Xiao Chen was clueless.

But just by guessing, this Fallen Immortals Sect definitely had a deep relationship with that small sect of that year, and why the Mystic Cyan Sect was destroyed…

Xiao Chen shook his head endlessly. “Impossible, that is impossible! A small sect like that, Qingxuan Perfected Immortal could destroy it single-handedly. It is impossible that it was that small sect. A small sect would never have the ability to do it!”

Beside him, Zhiluan saw his looks suddenly became weird and it asked, “Kiddo, are you okay?”

Xiao Chen calmed himself down before he replied, “No… nothing.” Then he looked again at One-dot Red and his people, the Fallen Immortals Sect, Fallen Immortals… “Where did you come from…”

On the Floating Platform, before Sixiang Shu could speak, Traceless for Ten Miles came up suddenly and lifted him up. “Number four, let’s go,” he said, after which he turned to look at Su Zimu. He did not speak but gave him a smirk.

Although this round, the Fallen Immortals Sect was defeated, there was still no one who dared to underestimate this mysterious sect. Like what Sixiang Shu had said, re-implantation could be done when he got back. It was even possible to implant a Spiritual Meridian of a higher level. From that, how terrifying could this Fallen Immortals Sect be?

In the second round, it was One-dot Red against Traceless for Ten Miles. Because Traceless for Ten Miles had abstained from the game voluntarily, One-dot Red was directly promoted to the first seat of the Summit Finals. The third round was the match between Sanzhan Li from the Fallen Immortals Sect and Yang Shaochen from the Yang family. Unfortunately, the Fallen Immortals Sect had lost again.

Although it failed in both rounds, no one dared to look down on this sect. It was necessary to know that Su Zimu and Yang Shaochen were among the best in the top 10 families, and the 10 people who came out of the Fallen Immortals Sect this time were probably just ordinary disciples.

In the fourth round, it was Xiaoyue from the Thousand Feathers Sect against Yu Yifeng from the Jade Qing Sect. The crowd was excited once again. Xiaoyue was a descendant of the Ancient Immortal Clan, and basically, no one was optimistic about Yu Yifeng winning.

Xiao Chen put away the emotions he had as well. At this moment, he looked intently at the screen. Compared to the battles of the first two games, Yu Yifeng and Xiaoyue both appeared to be more courteous this time. After all, they both knew each other.

Despite being acquainted with each other, there would be no mercy in a battle. Just within seconds, gravel flew across the stage. But because the formation placed by the elders on the Floating Platform would absorb the attacks of the contestants, there were no worries about the Floating Platform being unable to withstand the power and collapsing and falling, hurting the crowd below.

Everyone in the square was in awe. Now, this was the legit Immortal’s Sword Assembly. Both of them used swords as their weapon of choice. Yu Yifeng with his Startling Rainbow Sword moved freely. Xiaoyue’s Duster Sword was ever-changing. Though not out of its sheath, its exquisite ways were in no way inferior to the Startling Rainbow Sword. The Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust was ever so abstruse that it was hard to tell what was real and what was not.

“Whether it is the Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust or the As Kind As Water, both are the true essence of Taoism. The Thousand Feathers Sect of the Ancient Immortal Clan indeed lived up to its name. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this Xiaoyue has the highest chance to get first place.” Several elders on the high platform were amazed as they did not possess such abstruse martial arts.

On the stage, the two had been fighting for over 15 minutes. Both of them were evenly matched. Xiaoyue had used Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust twice so far. But both times, Yu Yifeng was able to see it coming and had managed to dismiss them with ease. This made Xiaoyue frown slightly.

She thought to herself, “Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust was the creation of the Founder Thousand Feathers, and no one could break it for thousands of years.” Then she suddenly remembered something. It was Xiao Chen! It had to be Xiao Chen! In this world, only Xiao Chen was very familiar with the martial arts of her sect! Even though she did not know why…
