Chapter 630: Turn danger into safety on June 30
"Right, the Hidden Meridian!" Mu Hanyan had temporarily averted disaster and slightly relaxed, when suddenly, a spark of Spirit Light flashed through her mind.
Although she had temporarily overcome the difficulty, as time went on, even the Hidden Meridian wouldn’t be able to withstand the enormous impact of the two streams of Star Power.
The only way to truly overcome the crisis was to open another Hidden Meridian.
But opening a Hidden Meridian was not easy; even those hidden experts who had entered the Sword Saint Realm years ago talked about the Hidden Meridian as if it were something mythical, let alone finding one.
She had found and opened one last time merely by luck; finding a second one now wouldn’t be that easy.
However, at this moment and place, Mu Hanyan couldn’t think of any other options and could only try her best with a vague hope.
Mu Hanyan was guiding the Star Power to circulate rapidly throughout her body to relieve the pressure on her meridians while she diverted a small stream of Heavenly Heart Energy to attempt impacting various meridian points.
Based on her previous experience, she knew that the Hidden Meridians weren’t isolated; they were closely connected to the normal meridians but were in a sealed state under normal circumstances, thus remaining unknown. If she could burst open the meridian points connected to it, she could naturally find it.
However, in the human body, there were over seven hundred major meridian points with names, and even more unnamed minor ones that were numerous as hairs; testing them one by one, who knew how long it would take.
More importantly, meridian points, being the conjunctions of meridians, were also the weakest spots; if she accidentally ruptured a meridian point, at best she would lose control and at worst, she would perish. This was also why even experts at the Sword Saint Level didn’t dare use this crude method to search for the existence of Hidden Meridians.
After all, reaching the Sword Saint wasn’t easy; who would risk their life unnecessarily?
But now, even knowing the danger to her life, Mu Hanyan had to make a desperate attempt.
After all, failing to find the Hidden Meridian was a death sentence, getting through she would still have a chance to live; she was all in!
Once, and then again, Mu Hanyan herself didn’t know how many meridian points she had tried, but she still hadn’t been able to find the Hidden Meridian.
After a brief moment of peace, waves of piercing pain transmitted through her meridians, growing stronger and stronger, causing Mu Hanyan to clench her teeth, yet she couldn’t help but tremble all over.
Compared to earlier, the Star Power entering her meridians was more massive and powerful, such that even the Hidden Meridian was almost unable to bear it, and the other meridians were on the verge of collapse, perhaps the next blink would see one rupture, and then the others explode.
"Should I just guide all the Star Power into one meridian? In that way, even if this one meridian breaks, it won’t harm the others, and even if my organs are damaged and I am severely injured, I can still survive and perhaps retain some cultivation," Mu Hanyan thought of the worst-case scenario.
But immediately, she dismissed this idea. If she sacrificed one meridian to barely preserve her life and, with luck, keep some of her cultivation, her foundational cultivation would also be heavily damaged, and she would never advance again in this life.
To live again in this life, she absolutely refused to survive merely by clinging on.
No, even if there was only a sliver of hope, she had to keep going.
Mu Hanyan bit her tongue to make herself more alert and once again tried impacting the meridian points.
Ye Lanfeng, who was about to secretly provide help from the shadows, suddenly tensed and withdrew his hand.
At that moment, Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a warmth in her chest.
As Mu Hanyan was using Concentrating Inner Vision, following that warmth, she saw a shimmering point of light appear in her Heart Meridian and then start traveling along the meridians within her body.
"What is this?" Mu Hanyan was greatly surprised, and her Mental State followed the light as it traveled through her meridians.
The light moved quickly at times and slowly at others as it traveled through the meridians, pausing slightly at each meridian point, as if it were searching for something—could it be searching for the Hidden Meridian?
