Chapter 180: Chapter 180 The Earth Chakra’s Initial MeridianTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Young master, what did you do to make these monkeys chase you with such determination?”

In the wilderness, the carriage continued to swiftly travel. Chuxue stuck her head out of the window and worriedly looked behind.

This place was already 2 thousand miles away from the water fairy lake. With the Windrider foals pulling the carriage, they had traveled for close to 16 hours.

Luckily, these spiritual foals were only skilled at running, having immense stamina. Along with the help of Zong Shou and pill medicines, they managed to barely avoid the danger and ditch the ape group behind them.

The golden tattoo white ape was filled with energy. Even when his wound was dripping in blood one couldn’t see any weakness at all. Its speed was even many times more than the Windrider foals.

However, this beast seemed to be worried about Zong Shou’s ability and didn’t dare to chase too closely. The white apes behind it were also unable to keep up with its speed. A continuous 16 hours of chasing used up most of their energies. They could only look on at the back as the carriage went further and further.

That golden tattoo white ape gave out a yellow glow in its eyes as it roared out. His aura was really threatening, Even Chuxue, who was tens of miles away, felt shocked.

Zong Shou didn’t care. After calming down, he smiled, “Nothing much, I just slashed him with a sword. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to kill it.”

Chuxue didn’t believe his words. Those apes were obviously filled with killing intent. They had not only viewed Zong Shou as their enemy.

Then, she saw Zong Shou take out a few items from his body. First was tens of mine stones which Chuxue didn’t bother about. She took a glance before moving her eyes away.

But once Zong Shou took out 7 leather bags filled with monkey wine, her eyes lit up.

She finally understood why the ape group would chase them so frantically. The apes loved to drink and Zong Shou stole their collection. Obviously, they would risk their lives!

Those leather bags were really huge, any one of them could hold close to 2-3 decalitres. The 10 bottles of celestial brew that Lei Dong gave was not even a third of one of the bags. The fragrance of the wine was tough to hide as it hit the nose.

Chuxue couldn’t help but lick her lips but saw Zong Shou coldly stare over. She instantly felt guilty and acted like nothing was happening as she gazed out of the window.

Following which she heard Zong Shou laugh, “You greedy cat! Don’t drink too much…”

He casually threw 2 bags over. She was instantly delighted and hug the 2 wine bags tightly like they were a treasure.

Then, Zong Shou took out that spirit absorbing pagoda, using soul power to suspend it in the air. Then, he took off all his clothes until only his underwear was left.

Chuxue instantly felt anxious and frantic. When she bathed with him in the past, she didn’t find anything wrong with 2 people being naked together. She thought it was normal. Today, when she spoke to him face to face, she would turn red and sometimes she wouldn’t even dare to look straight at him.

She wanted to escape the carriage but she saw the alluring woman Ruo Shui lying on the mattress beside with a lazy expression—staring at Zong Shou with no attempts to hide it. Chuxue, for some reason, felt unhappiness rise up in her heart. She gritted her tooth and sat at the same spot, not moving anymore.

Zong Shou slightly adjusted his breathing and his heart had returned to a really calm state. What he was about to do had no room for mistakes.

He reached out with his hand and took out the few remaining soul stones in his bag. Then he used the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique to absorb all the spiritual energy into his body.

In that instant, it caused his soul power to explode! His entire soul ocean was spinning crazily.

Zong Shou’s intent also descended into the spirit absorbing pagoda. A few days ago that water element vein that he had absorbed had already been modified by him.

Today there was only this newly absorbed vein that needed him to spend some effort on.

Actually, the technique was really simple, using his mind to control the Oregon spirits to form similar talismans.

When an earth vein was merged into the body, the effects could be strong or weak. Dual cultivators in the era were unable to find out about the reason and could only simply split veins into 3 grades. Most of the time, they were unable to truly differentiate. Some of the original spirits were stronger. However, it looked like a normal vein.

Until the future, when knowledge of other world spread over, did they know about the mysteries within. In these spiritual veins, there are charms and talismans and also the basic spiritual runes. However, they looked special and were hard to differentiate.

There were even some spiritual masters of some worlds who developed some talisman forming techniques to strengthen earth veins which martial cultivators craved.

Zong Shou was too poor in the last life and couldn’t invite Return to Sun realm spirit masters to form talismans and charms for his earth vein. Only after he reached the ascended ancestor level did he make some friends who helped him form talismans. However, his foundations were, in the end, weaker than the disciples of those big sects. Only after spending large effort did he manage to make up for that.

Although the current him hadn’t entered the Return to Sun realm he was good at talisman techniques, barely being able to complete the modification of earth veins. He naturally couldn’t let himself fall behind in this area. Even Chuxue and his few subordinates he wouldn’t let them suffer loses.

The first step would be to gather the talismans of the 5 elements. Then, he specifically strengthened the fire talisman and formed a lightning talisman.

The entire process took up to 8 hours. Pretty much every moment of it was the utmost focus and going all out. When that talisman was formed, Zong Shou’s body was covered in sweat.

However he didn’t feel tired, instead, he was excited. He knew that the 2 water and fire veins in the spirit absorbing pagoda looked like there weren’t any changes. However, the spiritual energy that the 2 provided was increased by at least 20%!

“My spiral meridians in my body today have been mostly modified and only some side ones haven’t been completed. Whether or not my dual meridian body is able to merge with earth meridians, depends on today.

Zong Shou was a person who was soft on the outside and hard on the inside, looking really determined. Once he decided on something he wouldn’t hesitate.

He directly grabbed that spirit absorbing pagoda, using true qi to direct it, 2 serpents-like spirit veins were absorbed into his body.

The moment it entered, it started to have intense conflicted causing an intense ocean-like battle in his arm.

It actually didn’t have any smashing within his body, swirling in his spiral meridians in a really comfortable manner. The firm foundations he built were working.

The 2 earth veins wrapped around one another. The fire and water strengths repelled one another but then also bonded together. Zong Shou didn’t even need to use any effort and they started to cycle his outer meridians.

Ruo Shui’s eyes lit up at that moment like she was really surprised. Chuxue was at a loss, her small mouth was agape, filled with disbelief.

On Zong Shou’s body, one could see blue and red, 2 giant serpent-like tattoos flowing around his body. It gave out an energy-like ring, ripping open his muscles, causing blood to seep out.

However, such changes were slowly calming down. Zong Shou’s bodily energy was crazily climbing at a shocking speed.

…No wonder Zong Shou wouldn’t give up when he was searching for the spiritual vein. These few days he didn’t mind wasting large amounts of resources to search for it.

Her young master was actually going to bring 2 veins into his dual meridian body at the initial earth chakra level!

Moreover, it seemed like he was about to succeed…

If she didn’t personally see it, Chuxue wouldn’t believe her eyes. Heaven, earth, and body were 3 realms. Every increase in meridian cultivation of the earth realm one could merge with one earth meridian. This was a rule that couldn’t change in the tens of thousand years after the cloud desolate era. Even before the cloud desolate era, only a few kinds of god beasts with special bodies could be unrestricted.

However, now she was personally witnessing this common knowledge being broken by Zong Shou.

When the blue and red colors faded away on Zong Shou’s body. That surging spiritual energy totally calmed down. Then, Zong Shou gave out a long exhale, not caring about anything, releasing the happiness in his chest.

The dual meridian body wouldn’t be an obstacle for him in the future. It could also be an absolute help to become one of the roots to help him climb to the top of the marital path.

From now on, apart from the heaven obstacle ahead from him, it would be a really bright path.

At the current moment, even Hu Zhongyuan was startled and charged into the carriage, looking at the 3 people inside in shock. He missed the scene ahead and naturally couldn’t seduce what had happened to Zong Shou to make him so delighted.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother about him, taking the sword accumulating pearl as well as the gold mine stone he got from the white ape mountain cave.

First, he heavily smacked the mine stone and crushed it into pieces, only to see silver energy burst out, flying outwards.

“As expected, it’s metal molding energy! What good luck, it seems like my sword foundations can become much stronger…”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, slightly shaking the sword accumulating pearl in his hand. That silver energy naturally turned around, without Zong Shou absorbing as it entered the pearl, merging into one with the sword-shaped spiritual energy within.

When the 2 of them totally merged, Zong Shou smacked it and destroyed the pearl. Then, his soul turned into a light smoke and wrapped up these 4 randomly flying sword-shaped spiritual energies.

Threads of soul power started to tangle around it, causing it to fix mid-air, unable to move. Then, he forcefully hit in several soul power formed talismans.

Before the sword-shaped spiritual energy had a layer of greenish-black, it’s shaping looked like a Long sword. Zong Shou’s soul entered the body once more, bringing that sword-shaped soul energy into the acupoint within the middle of his brows, stopping in the middle of the soul ocean.
