Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 255 Breaking Through the Realm with Force (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Sun Yanwan spent more than two years cultivating in seclusion on Songyang Mountain. Although she did not break through to the Innate Realm, her martial arts skills never stopped improving and progressed very quickly. Not only did she master the Xuanhuang Ten Transformations, the Moving Mountain Pearl, the Ruyi Golden Needle, and the Crimson Essence Fire Banner, but she also raised the level of all twenty-four meridians in her body by several levels.

Now he has seven meridians, which have been cultivated to the level of divine power. Including the two meridians that have been cultivated to the level of combined strength this time, the rest of his meridians have been cultivated to the level of combined strength. In terms of tempering his meridians, he is almost no less than the seven external martial arts masters at that time.

Once you reach the second rank, you cultivate true qi from the outside in, embarking on the path of unifying internal and external skills. At that point, there are no more purely external masters.

Even a Grandmaster might not be able to temper all twenty-four meridians in their body to the level of divine power.

Sun Yanwan took a deep breath of true energy, and his twenty-four meridians and tendons made a cracking sound. His whole body turned crimson. This was because he activated the Crimson Essence Fire Banner technique, transferring the true energy he had cultivated through the Xuanhuang Fire Transformation into his twenty-four meridians and tendons.

Having received the infusion of the Crimson Essence Fire True Qi, Sun Yanwan's meridians and tendons bulged, making him a head taller, resembling an angry, fiery Vajra.

This is a technique he recently figured out.

Originally, internal and external true qi were integrated and combined into one, which had many wonderful uses. However, after countless attempts, Sun Yanwan discovered that the way to truly unify the internal and external and achieve the best results was not to unify them at the level of true qi.

Instead, one infuses internal energy into the twenty-four meridians. Each transformation of the mystical energy, once infused into the meridians, produces different wondrous effects.

Yes, Sun Yanwan also tried it. Conversely, when external internal energy was poured into the meridians, it was just a normal increase, only the degree of increase was different, without any special changes.

Sun Yanwan didn't know whether the signs she exhibited after using the Crimson Essence Fire Banner technique to infuse her true energy into her twenty-four meridians should be considered a miraculous skill or a transformation of true energy.
In this stance, his strength increased by 30-40%, his speed also increased by 10-20%, his body became impervious to blades and spears, and his attacks were fierce and powerful.

Hmm, it's more like Buddhist martial arts.

However, neither Shaochan Temple nor Longzang Temple possessed such extraordinary martial arts.

Sun Yanwan had a vague feeling that no one had ever tried this path before, but he was certain that this path would be successful.

That means cultivating all twenty-four meridians in the body to the level of divine mastery, so that one can easily cross the Innate Realm without having to worry about any martial arts obstacles.

The martial arts barrier is elusive and intangible. Every time he feels that he has grasped something, he finds afterwards that he still has not been able to see through it!

But Sun Yanwan believed that tempering the twenty-four meridians was something that could be done step by step, following a set pattern.

Others rely on intuition, talent, or various opportunities to break through their limits, but Sun Yanwan believes that her method of breaking through can be called—breaking through with force!
Wuyinghou waited anxiously, only to be tricked by Sun Yanwan.

Sun Yanwan patiently waited for Wei Yingxiao, Shi Si, Lu Shuangfeng, and Wu Zhi to arrive so they could join forces to defeat the enemy.

One was anxious, the other was calm, and the two waited patiently for more than ten days.

Sun Yanwan cultivated another meridian to the level of divine mastery.

That day, Sun Yanwan got up and suddenly had a mysterious feeling. She hurriedly went out and saw Shi Si hanging the startled toad, looking pretty outside the door.

Overjoyed, he rushed over, hugged Shi Si, and spun her around several times.

Although Shi Si knew he was disguised, she was still startled and exclaimed, "Quickly change back to your original appearance, or you are not allowed to get close to me."

Sun Yanwan chuckled and said, "I'll go wash my face now." "But, Auntie, I accidentally lost the disguise potion from Shaochan Temple. Do you have any?"

Helpless, Shi Si knew he was being unreasonable. She went out and brought back a basin of water, dissolved a dose of medicine in the water, and held Sun Yanwan's head down. She not only washed off the disguise on his face, but also washed his bald head.

When Shi Si dried Sun Yanwan's head with a cloth, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Great Vulture Monk, you've been a monk for a few days, how come you're still so flirtatious?"

Sun Yanwan said with a grin, "This humble monk is returning to secular life today."

Seeing that although he was bald, after washing off his disguise, he had red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, and a faint glow on his skin, still looking incredibly handsome, Shi Si couldn't help but blush slightly and said, "I wonder how many wives Master intends to marry this time after leaving the monastic life?"

Sun Yanwan said awkwardly, "Everything has to be decided by the First Madam; I can't make the decision myself."

Shi Si's skin was like jade, and her slight shyness added to her beauty. Sun Yanwan was about to do something when she suddenly heard someone outside call out, "I've already given you enough time for an incense stick to burn, haven't you had enough of being intimate yet?"

Upon hearing Wei Ying's laughter, Sun Yanwan awkwardly released her hand, swaggered out of the room, and bowed, saying, "Sun Yanwan greets Senior Sister Wei!"

Wei Ying, dressed in a Taoist robe, looked like a fairy descended to earth. She said with a smile, "I guarded Black Dragon City for you for two years, and you didn't even thank your senior sister. You were only thinking about your own wife."

Shi Si felt slightly ashamed. She had gotten along very well with Wei Yingxiao in Black Dragon City, and they had become close friends. Both of them came from top sects and were both grandmasters, so they naturally had a lot in common.

After catching up with her senior sister, Sun Yanwan went out to meet Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi. The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were naturally happy to see each other.

Originally, Sun Yanwan was going to go find Wuyinghou after the four of them arrived, but due to some trivial matters, they were delayed for a few days.

When Sun Yanwan was still the Great Eagle Monk, the Red Lotus Society wanted him to succeed as their leader, but Sun Yanwan firmly declined and instead introduced them to the Heavenly Horse Gang.

After hesitating for a while, the leaders of the Red Lotus Society readily agreed.

The Red Lotus Society is different from the Beggars' Sect of the North and South, and also different from the Demonic Sect. Both the Beggars' Sect and the Demonic Sect have their own traditions, and even if they lack talent for a while, they can still support themselves and slowly cultivate a new generation of leaders. However, the leader of the Red Lotus Society relies entirely on external assistance and cannot be cultivated by itself.

Without a highly skilled leader, the Red Lotus Society's leaders, with their limited strength, would likely not last long before being swallowed up by other gangs. These leaders are all seasoned veterans and are well aware of the dangers involved.

Originally, the Red Lotus Society had considered itself to have allied with the Qingwei Sword Sect, otherwise they wouldn't have invited Chen Xuange to be their leader. However, after Chen Xuange's death, when they discussed with the Qingwei Sword Sect whether they could send someone else, the Qingwei Sword Sect refused them.

Therefore, it was only natural that Honglian would join the Tianma Gang after being introduced by Sun Yanwan.

This time, several high-ranking members of the Tianma Gang came, especially Wei Yingxiao and Shi Si, both of whom are Grandmaster-level experts. The Red Lotus Society was completely convinced of their abilities.

With the absorption of the Red Lotus Society, the Tianma Gang has become one of the top three gangs in the world, based solely on its members.

Well, Sun Yanwan discovered something: Wu Zhi had also reached the Innate Realm.

While everyone else was happy, he was slightly unhappy.
