1029 Rend and Rise (1/2)
Forget breathing; even their very thoughts seemed to have exploded at this critical moment. It could hardly be suppressed, let alone recover to the repose.
The potency of the medicinal pill was unbelievably overwhelming.
Although Sun Mingxiu was astonished by the Emerald Cloud Pill's strength, he was not perturbed. He instantly recognized that his organs would actually be charred if he allowed the medicinal strength to charge on its own will. Having that thought in mind, he reacted immediately.
The pill's potency was imposing, far exceeding his limits. The mystical Qi Sun Mingxiu, who had cultivated with all his might, had only overcome the rushing force for a brief moment before it swept right over him!
Horrified, Sun Mingxiu was close to submitting to his fate. He acknowledged that he was about to be shattered by the frantic wave of medical strength, only to feel a sudden constant stream of energy moving, parrying the powerful medicine.
It was his master.
His master's mystical Qi that was almost as sharp as the sword Qi no longer stayed dormant in his meridians. It rapidly countered the medicinal potency and led the berserk stream of energy into his dantian at a relatively stable speed. From Sun Mingxiu's dantian, it refluxed and gushed towards a meridian route that the boy had never explored.
All this time, Sun Mingxiu had thought that his master looked icy, like a sword mountain that stood eternally, and would hardly show any warmth to anyone. It was as if he was a sword himself, emotionless and merciless, cold-blooded and steel-hearted.
He and his junior siblings had always been more afraid than respectful to their master.
Nevertheless, Sun Mingxiu felt the love and concern from an elder at that moment. It was a thought of wholeheartedness and disregard of personal damage as long as the disciple managed to accomplish what was needed; the sentiment was apparent and clear!
Sun Mingxiu's body trembled as two droplets of tears seeped from his eyes.
He then heard his master's stern voice, ”What are you thinking about? Follow my mystical Qi quickly – are you hoping that I'll cultivate for you your entire life?”
”Yes, master.”
Sun Mingxiu sobbed his answer and did not dare slow down; he gave it his all as he circulated his mystical Qi to tackle the intense force of the medicine.
This was a critical juncture.
His master was using himself to help him pass this stage. If he were to fail, his master would inevitably suffer severe harm! He must not lose his focus nor fail!
Whether it was for himself or his master, he must not fail – he had to succeed in pushing through!
The stream of energy formed from the combination of the five medicinal pills surged up from the dantian and kept meeting an opposing force from the meridians along its way. The meridians that were still sealed, that did not have mystical Qi passing through yet, became layers of insurmountable barriers.
