Chapter 11: Ultimate of All Ages – Unblocking the Meridians
Li Yunxiao sat in his room, deep in thought. If his strength had been sufficient, he wouldn’t have needed to subdue Jia Rong as a servant. Moreover, using the Soul Capturing Technique earlier had significantly drained his soul power.
“If only my soul power hadn’t weakened so much after reincarnation, dealing with a mere first-tier artificer wouldn’t have required so much effort!”
In his past life, his soul power had reached unparalleled levels, but after being reborn, it was now inferior even to an ordinary first-tier Artificer. The Soul Capturing Technique had merely shocked Jia Rong momentarily; if Jia Rong had time to recover, he would have realized something was wrong. That was why Li Yunxiao had given him the Soul Refinement Technique—a classic example of hitting with a stick and then offering a bun.
Even the weakest Soul Refinement Technique was a priceless treasure; no Artificer would give it away so easily.
Li Yunxiao sat cross-legged, closing his eyes. Golden symbols resembling ancient tadpole script appeared in his consciousness, flickering in and out of existence.
Yet, no matter how hard he focused, he couldn’t fully visualize the entire scripture within his spiritual mind.
“Once my soul power awakens, becoming a powerhouse is only a matter of time. But this time, I won’t settle for being a mere Emperor—I will surpass my past self and reach the legendary realm beyond!”
His greatest reliance wasn’t his past life’s memories, nor the Tyrant’s Body Refinement Technique, but rather the Great Evolution Divine Technique—a soul-refining method he had discovered in his final moments at the Skywave Mountain Range.
This technique was something he had never seen before. The soul-refining methods recorded within it surpassed even his wildest imagination. His reincarnation itself was likely connected to this technique.
“With the Great Evolution Divine Technique, I can refine my soul to the peak of the Ninth Tier, and combined with the Tyrant’s Refinement Technique, I can unify body, energy, and soul to break into the legendary Ten Directions Realm—a realm where none in the world can rival me!”
His eyes flashed with piercing determination, as if gazing through layers of space into the boundless void itself.
Preparing the Breakthrough
“With this Five-Colored Sky Void Stone, I should be able to refine thirteen Soul Needles to stimulate my body’s potential and break through the meridian barriers.”
Calming his mind, he activated the Great Evolution Divine Technique, rapidly restoring his previously drained soul power. In just a short while, his soul power reached the peak of an Advanced Artificer Apprentice.
“Still a bit short of a first-tier Artificer, but it’s enough to refine the Soul Needles and prepare the necessary medicinal bath.”
After ensuring Han Bai and Chen Zhen were properly settled, he entered his personal training chamber.
Unlike ordinary dormitories, his was built with adamantine rock, making it highly resistant to damage and soundproof.
Taking out the Five-Colored Sky Void Stone, Li Yunxiao extracted a black sword and infused it with all his strength. With a resounding crash, the stone shattered into countless tiny fragments.
A faint golden light flickered between his brows, and an invisible wave of soul power spread out, gathering the fragments into the center of a five-star formation that he had drawn with Purple Gold Sand.
The stone fragments quivered violently, vibrating at increasingly rapid frequencies under the pull of the formation. Li Yunxiao carefully controlled them with his soul power, allowing the refinement process to proceed flawlessly.
If an Artificer were watching, they would have been completely dumbfounded—every step of his technique was vastly different from conventional Artificing!
Thanks to his past-life experience, he easily compensated for his current lack of strength. Despite having only an apprentice’s level of soul power, he refined something that even a first-tier Artificer would struggle with.
The Five-Colored Sky Void Stone fragments began popping and sizzling like frying beans, gradually melting into a viscous liquid. As the impurities evaporated, the remaining pure essence gathered together, forming thirteen radiant needles that shimmered with multicolored light.
Li Yunxiao barely glanced at them before storing them away in his storage ring.
“Next, I need to prepare the medicinal bath for marrow cleansing and meridian refinement.”
The Medicinal Bath
Taking out a series of glass vials, he poured beast blood with a pungent smell into the largest one. Then, he rapidly retrieved various medicinal ingredients from his storage bag, placing them into separate containers.
His hands moved at lightning speed, adding materials while keeping everything under strict control with his soul perception. The mixtures reacted violently, releasing colorful mist and bubbles.
“This will remove impurities and prepare the medicine for full absorption.”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
One by one, the vials exploded, sending streams of liquid shooting into the air.
“Collect!”
With a wave of his hand, a crystal-clear container spun rapidly, catching the nine extracted essences precisely. After a few more careful adjustments, the final deep green liquid swirled within the glass container.
Sweat poured down Li Yunxiao’s face, his entire body drenched from the mental strain.
“Finally, it’s ready!”
Without wasting time, he heated a massive cauldron of water, slowly pouring in the green solution.
GURGLE GURGLE—!
The boiling water reacted instantly, increasing in temperature as thick green steam filled the chamber, obscuring everything.
Li Yunxiao could already feel his body heating up just from standing in the mist.
Taking out the thirteen Soul Needles, he carefully inserted them into precise acupoints on his body.
A strange energy pulsed through his meridians, stimulating the dormant pathways. Unlike normal acupuncture, these needles were infused with the power of the five elements, allowing them to act as gateways for energy flow.
WHOOSH!
With the final needle in place, Li Yunxiao leaped into the cauldron, submerging himself completely in the boiling medicinal bath.
Pain erupted through his body—like thousands of tiny blades cutting into his flesh—but instead of panic, a look of excitement flashed across his face.
“The medicine is even stronger than expected!”
His skin turned light green, absorbing the medicinal properties.
With his eyes closed, he swiftly formed hand seals, circulating energy to guide the medicinal power through his meridians. The Soul Needles began to glow faintly, creating a rhythmic pulse within his body.
The real transformation had begun.
As the medicinal energy surged through his veins, his meridians—once dry and broken—slowly reconnected, restoring their original flow.
Pain and relief intertwined as his body trembled under the intense refinement.
Then—
BOOM!
A deep shockwave burst from within, sending ripples through the cauldron.
Inside, Li Yunxiao’s face lit up with a smile.
His meridians… were completely unblocked!
