Chapter 18 18 - Extraordinary Meridian

Ximen Wei let out a deep sigh as he accepted his current predicament and decided to bide his time for a chance to escape. He situated himself on the rough and icy floor of the cell, and out of boredom, he began examining the various instruments and mechanisms surrounding him. As he leaned over to get a closer look at one of the devices, he noticed a crumpled piece of paper lodged behind it. He eagerly retrieved it and smoothed it out, revealing what was written on it. The sudden discovery sparked a glimmer of hope in his eyes, causing them to shine with an intense, radiant light like the depths of an endless ocean.

As Ximen Wei clutched the ancient scroll in his hand, he was suddenly transported to a realm beyond his wildest imagination. The dingy, cramped prison cell he was previously confined in was no longer there, replaced by an ethereal paradise that pulsed with an otherworldly aura. The air was filled with a soft mist that swirled and danced in a dreamlike manner, adding an extra layer of enchantment to this mystical place. The ground beneath Ximen Wei's feet was alive with the seething energy of Qi, which radiated with a brilliant light, making this new world even more mysterious and captivating. Ximen Wei was completely entranced by the beauty and majesty of this ethereal paradise, and he knew that he would never forget this moment for as long as he lived.

The Heavenly Blockade, a magnificent river that snaked its way through the starry sky, was a wonder of the universe. Its endless expanse dominated the heavens and the earth, its aura so powerful that it could quiver the very fabric of reality. At this moment, however, the serene and calm appearance of the Heavenly Blockade was shattered as it was wracked with tumultuous earthquakes.

Twelve Xianwu Turtles rose from the river's depths, their massive shells towering over the horizon. Their eyes, shining with an otherworldly light, gazed off into the infinite distance as they unleashed nine piercing cries, each one echoing through the universe like a thunderclap. The sounds were so powerful that they seemed to rattle the very stars themselves, sending shockwaves far and wide. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Despite their size, the Xianwu Turtles were a graceful and elegant sight as they emerged from the Heavenly Blockade. Their shells were a stunning shade of turquoise, and intricate patterns of gold and silver adorned their bodies, giving them an ethereal quality.

The Xianwu Turtles' appearance was a portent of something significant, something that would change the course of the universe forever. Their cries resounded through the cosmos, reaching the ears of all who could hear and leaving them in awe of the mysterious creatures and their connection to the mighty Heavenly Blockade. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

As the ninth cry rang out, Ximen Wei's body convulsed as he felt a sudden jolt in his mind. A violet energy strand, emitting a radiant glow, shot out from the scroll and pierced into his arm at a lightning-fast speed. The energy quickly spread throughout his body, causing Ximen Wei's face to turn ashen with fear.

His innards started to quiver violently, causing blood to gush out of his mouth, nose, ears, and even eyes. The mysterious energy wriggled its way through his flesh and bones, invading every cell of his being. Ximen Wei felt an immense pain, an agony beyond description, that made his body tremble and foam to seep out of his mouth.

His nervous system was overwhelmed, causing him to fall in and out of consciousness. Despite the brain's defense mechanism, the pain was so intense that it jolted him awake again and again, making him suffer through this vicious cycle. The torment continued for the duration of an incense stick's burn time, until finally, the illusory shape of an Extraordinary Meridian appeared.

The initial stages of Qi Cultivation are crucial for cultivators as it sets the foundation for their future prospects in the path of cultivation. The number of Extraordinary Meridians a cultivator opens during this stage is of utmost importance, as it determines their power and potential. Opening as many Extraordinary Meridians as possible is crucial, as it will result in less bottlenecks and obstacles on their journey.

Ximen Wei was in pain as he began the process of opening his first Extraordinary Meridian. The strand of energy that was flowing through his body finally found its way to his first Extraordinary Meridian, opening it with a relieved sigh. However, the energy was not done yet. It continued to flow, seeking another Extraordinary Meridian to open.

The world of cultivation is divided into two categories, the regular cultivators and the talented ones. Regular cultivators are capable of opening four to five Extraordinary Meridians, which are vital energy channels that run through the body and are responsible for one's physical and spiritual strength. On the other hand, the talented cultivators possess an exceptional ability to open up to six or even seven Extraordinary Meridians, making them stand out from the rest.

However, there is one Extraordinary Meridian that sets apart the truly elite cultivators, the Eight Extraordinary Meridian. Unlike the others, opening this particular meridian is not solely dependent on one's talent but also requires a substantial amount of fortune. The Eight Extraordinary Meridian is known to be the gateway to unlimited power and success in the cultivation world, but gaining access to it is not an easy feat.

To open the Eight Extraordinary Meridian, one must have access to an immense amount of resources, including cultivation resources, and a solid foundation. Only then, would opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridian become a possibility. Without these crucial components, the dream of opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridian remains just that, a dream. Only the Chosen of Prestigious Sects or the Dao Children of Great Families are able to achieve this feat.

The world of cultivation is a complex and challenging, one must be aware that opening this meridian is not a task to be taken lightly!
