At this moment, Zhang Chu rejoiced as his divine soul stood up and gently pushed open the door to the second level of the Star Tower.
Rumbling, the gate was as if it was substantial, emitting a thick and heavy sound.
Immediately after, Zhang Chu saw that within the second layer of the Star Tower, there were actually countless candles burning.
It was as if it was a sea of candles that was boundless, as if it would never see an end.
“What is this?”Zhang Chu was surprised in his heart as his divine sense took a step inside, wanting to see what was actually inside.
However, just as Zhang Chu stepped in, those candles suddenly shook.
In the next second, in the air above the sea of candles, an astral wind suddenly coalesced, and the astral wind blew, scraping Zhang Chu’s Divine Soul in raw pain, as if he was using a knife to cut the flesh on his body!
Zhang Chu even felt that his divine soul, surprisingly, was damaged, and he hurriedly took a step back and returned to the doorway.
The sea of candles instantly calmed down.
“This ……” Zhang Chu was unsettled in his heart, “Could it be that there are still requirements for the strength of the divine soul, or for my own realm, to enter the second level of the Star Tower?”
Suddenly, the spirit sea on the ground floor of the Star Tower moved, and a storm of spirit energy unexpectedly stirred up from that endless sea of spirit.
Immediately after that, this storm of spiritual energy suddenly rushed out, travelling along the Star Pagoda’s gate and entering Zhang Chu’s limbs and veins!
This storm of spiritual energy was so sudden that Zhang Chu did not even have time to react before this spiritual energy had already begun to flush through his meridians.
The berserk spiritual energy was like gunpowder as it ran amok in Zhang Chu’s meridians, and the spiritual energy was so huge that endless pain came from every corner of his body.
“Ah!”Zhang Chu’s divine soul cried out, but his physical body clenched its teeth in death as he realised what was happening.
The second layer of the Star Tower opened, but Zhang Chu’s divine soul and realm were too low to enter the second layer of the Star Tower.
Therefore, the first layer of the Star Tower began to violently transform Zhang Chu’s physical body, to forcefully pull Zhang Chu to advance!
Right now, Zhang Chu’s realm was Dantian IV.
For experts in the Dantian realm, there were a total of 12 main meridians in the human body, and each meridian opened up was a realm.
Right now, Zhang Chu had only unblocked and opened up four meridians, and there were still eight that he had not been able to punch through.
At this moment, the endless spiritual energy rushing about was actually flushing the remaining eight meridians at the same time!
This was a complete violation of the order of cultivation, any expert cultivation must slowly flush open the meridians one by one, in a gradual manner.
This practice of simultaneously impacting eight meridians was similar to seeking death.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chu’s body was not allowed to make its own decisions, the Star Pagoda’s raging spiritual energy was simply not under Zhang Chu’s control, and the massive amount of spiritual energy first converged into Zhang Chu’s dantian, and immediately afterwards, it was as if it was a steel drill, reclaiming his meridians in a raw manner.
“Stop, stop!”Zhang Chu wailed in his heart, wanting the Star Pagoda to slow down.
Zhang Chu felt that this transformation process of forcefully impacting his meridians was a hundred times more painful than all the punishments in the world.
However, the Star Pagoda completely ignored Zhang Chu.
There was no way around it, if one could bear it, one had to bear it, if one could not bear it, one had to bear it, it was already like this, there was simply no way for Zhang Chu to resist.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Chu suddenly felt that a certain meridian had actually been opened up.
Rumbling, spiritual energy rushed like a long river rolling, and this meridian that was suddenly opened by the impact, was actually wider than the original other meridians.
Zhang Chu could clearly feel that this new meridian, which was thick and smooth, had a feeling of smoothness.
However, in the next second, the bone-chilling pain of the other meridians wrapped around Zhang Chu’s entire body again.
However, Zhang Chu saw hope.
Sure enough, after this one meridian was cleared, not a moment later, another meridian was opened.
Immediately after that, all the meridians, one after another, began to be opened.
The pain that Zhang Chu suffered became less and less, and his own spiritual energy operated faster and faster.
Finally, the twelve meridians, were completely opened!
In just a few short hours, Zhang Chu’s strength unexpectedly took a great leap, directly jumping from the Dantian four realm to the Dantian twelve realm.
At this moment, a terrifying sense of power filled Zhang Chu’s entire body, and Zhang Chu suddenly wanted to roar to the heavens as he felt his body filled with explosive power.
However, this was only the beginning.
The meridians had been forcibly opened, and the inner walls of the meridians had actually been scarred long ago.
If it was an ordinary person who used this method to break through to Dantian XII, it was estimated that they would only be able to maintain this realm for half a year, and after half a year, the meridians would break inch by inch and explode and die.
This was because, this way of opening up the meridians was too violent, and it had already caused terrifying damage to the meridians.
However, Zhang Chu possessed the Star Tower.
At this moment, the storm of spiritual energy within the Star Pagoda stopped, and the Star Pagoda’s Spiritual Sea returned to calm.
Immediately after that, Zhang Chu discovered that within the Spiritual Sea, there were actually dots of golden light, as if there were mysterious beings swimming about.
Zhang Chu’s mind was immediately attracted to those dots of golden light, and his divine sense probed into the Spiritual Sea, wanting to capture those golden lights.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Chu’s divine sense suddenly touched a strand of golden light.
In the next second, Zhang Chu was shocked, “It’s not light, it’s a fish! A golden fish!”
Immediately after, Zhang Chu’s heart was filled with incomprehension, “What’s going on? Within the spirit sea on the ground floor of the Star Tower, why would fish appear? Could it be that life has actually been birthed within this spirit sea?”
This Star Pagoda was false and real, directly making Zhang Chu somewhat confused.
“Could it be that the Star Tower actually has an entity, that it forms a space of its own, and that everything is real?”……” thought Zhang Chu in his heart.
However, very quickly, he no longer thought much about it because, after the fish that was golden in colour was touched by Zhang Chu’s Divine Sense, it unexpectedly leapt out and transformed into a golden light, turning into a soft golden spiritual energy that entered Zhang Chu’s body.
The golden light contained a powerful life qi, and wherever it passed, the flesh instantly became crystalline and full.
Zhang Chu could clearly feel that this power full of vitality was nourishing the flesh, bones and meridians of his entire body.
Some of the damaged meridians, those tiny broken lines disappeared, and the meridians became soft and tough.
“Great, if I can catch more of these fish, not only will my meridians not be damaged, but also, they will go further, and become thicker than an ordinary person’s meridians!”
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu stilled his mind and held his breath, his Divine Sense completely entering that sea, concentrating on catching those golden-coloured fish.
At this moment, Zhang Chu no longer coveted the second level of the Star Tower, he must first consolidate his physical body and divine soul, and wait for everything to be prepared to a perfect state before going to that sea of candles and exploring the mysteries of the second level of the Star Tower.
A golden fish was captured by Zhang Chu.
Countless life breaths blossomed within Zhang Chu’s body, nourishing it.
At this moment, the twelve meridians glowed, and Zhang Chu’s entire being fell into some sort of indulgence, his aura, climbing rapidly ……
