1028 Five Steps To Heaven (1/2)

A bone tempering pill was retrieved from the bottle by the Demiurge-Flawed Ten and given to the disciples.

There was barely any reaction when the first medicinal pill was taken. Every disciple merely felt their body tremble gently. Based on their current cultivation base, they could easily endure the potency of the bone tempering pill without it being too much of a challenge. The only reaction they had was the slight noise that emanated around their bones.

It was after that soft noise that Yun Yang's flat voice rang out for the second time. ”The Emerald Cloud Path, the second step.”

It was the meridian expanding pill.

As this medicinal pill was consumed, a few of them looked somewhat discomforted. That was all to it, however. As the medicinal strength worked its way out, those who looked pained recovered with ease. Sun Mingxiu and others whose cultivation base were higher looked reposed at this stage, passing it without any issue, while Shi Wuchen and the rest who sat cross-legged behind their disciples took no action.

To Shi Wuchen and the other men, their disciples would need to face and go through the first four steps themselves no matter how excruciating those stages were. What they were here for was the last step, the end to the entire process; too early intervention would cause an adverse effect.

Yun Yang's eyelids trembled slightly.

The meridians of the disciples were absorbing the medical potency of the meridian expanding pills and fusing droplets of the force into their entire beings and each meridian stream… Yun Yang's unique divine senses acutely detected that the powerful medicinal strength was gradually attaching to the disciples' meridians as the meridian walls began to thicken and expand.

Slowly, the potency of both the bone tempering pill and meridian expanding pills combined and expanded the children's meridians twice their usual size. This caused their faces to flush as each vein popped to the surface of the skin and glowed a light green.

Commonly, this was a good sign. Cultivators wished for their meridians to be as broad as possible as it eased their cultivation of mystical Qi at the same time of dissolving external mystical Qi that attacked them. In spite of it, the expansion of these disciples' meridians was currently accomplished with external medication, thus rendering them incredibly weak and unstable.

In a timely manner, Shi Wuchen and the other Demiurge-Flawed Ten reminded themselves almost simultaneously, ”Be one with your spiritual self, do not lose your breath and circulate your mystical Qi to ninety-nine cosmic orbits to stabilize your Qi and meridians.”

The ten disciples did as they were told, circulating the mystical Qi they already had in their expanded meridians. Due to the increased size, the circulation speed sped up several times, feeling strange to the children… The unfamiliarity lessened after the ninety-nine cosmic orbits, however, and the children were confident in the actions.

Simultaneously, their Qi and lifeblood grew thicker from their meridian expansion. The blobs of white fog that gathered above their heads slowly manifested into a shadow that looked like a flower bud…

”The Emerald Cloud Path, the third step.”

It had come to the marrow cleansing pill!

All the disciples reacted strongly once they ingested the pill. Sun Mingxiu who was the first to digest the medicinal pill was the first to show a reaction; his body oozed a liquid that resembled black grease and he spat a mouthful of foul-smelling purplish bruised blood after a while.

Yu Chenghang was the next to go through a similar situation as Bai Yexing following a beat later. Subsequently, all the other children excreted a large number of impurities.

The hall was putrid, the stench revolting, but no one frowned in the slightest bit.

It was a necessary step! This process involved eliminating all the impurities from head to toe, including those in the blood, flesh, bones, marrow, and lifeblood, leveraging on the combined potency of the first three pills.

The disciples' current bodies were the cleanest and purest they could be. Similarly, whatever that was discharged from them was also the grimiest excretion.

A quarter of an hour later…

”The Emerald Cloud Path, the fourth step.”
