Now that Liangzhou was in peril, Li Hao had his shadow self recall all the scattered battle flags from beyond the border within five thousand miles and replaced them with ordinary ones.
Even if the battle flags were destroyed, it didn’t matter, as they were originally meant to deter demons. Presenting them on the battlefields now would be even more effective.
Beyond the border, once the demons of Liangzhou were expelled, he could patrol the area again at any time.
Woosh!
Li Hao took a step and disappeared from the small courtyard enclosed by hedges, soon arriving outside Cangya City.
He took several strides in succession, flying to the summit of a mountain a hundred miles outside the city.
Worried about making too much noise, Li Hao thought for a moment and then traveled another three hundred miles forward.
“What are you up to now, lad?”
Feng Boping followed Li Hao all the way, asking curiously.
Li Hao smiled, “Cultivating.”
As he spoke, he patted his clothes and then stood firm on a piece of green rock at the mountain’s peak.
He hadn’t found the time to practice the many Cultivation Techniques he’d seen in Tianji Tower, nor had he cultivated the numerous Body Refinement Realms.
Most importantly were the Meridian Opening Skills that could open up the major meridians.

All his Cultivation Techniques were stored in the panel, but since he hadn’t cultivated them, his body still had the condition of 98 major meridians.
Li Hao took a deep breath and, without avoiding Feng, began to cultivate directly.
One Meridian Opening Cultivation Technique after another circulated within his body.
The techniques previously merged into his memory were now traveling through his major meridians under Li Hao’s circulation, and then towards those unfamiliar major meridians.
Thump!
Thump!
The major meridians in Li Hao’s body were consecutively opened. He was experienced in refining meridians with his current cultivation level, breezing through the process smoothly.
As the major meridians were opened one by one, in the blink of an eye, all 108 ordinary major meridians were unblocked!
With the last major meridian unblocked, Li Hao felt a jolt throughout his body, a pleasure that was indescribable.
It was as if numerous soft little hands were massaging him, kneading his stiff muscles until they cracked, providing such relief that he couldn’t help but hum softly.
A breath of Immortal Qi ran through the major meridians in his body, drawing in the Power of Heaven and Earth and filling all the meridians, including the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse.
At that moment, his entire body’s meridians were not only unblocked but also functioning simultaneously.
Suddenly, Li Hao felt that the Qi Force rushing through his body’s meridians seemed to pour into an unknown territory.
That territory was like the crown of his head, but even more distant than that.
It seemed to burst out of the body, rushing towards a more distant, higher place.
With his eyes closed, Li Hao seemed to see a dazzling golden light appear before him—it was the same golden gate he had faintly glimpsed when he first opened the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse.
Seeing that golden light, Li Hao felt as if he had transformed into a fish, eager to leap through the dragon’s gate.
And at this moment, the surging Qi Force within him seemed to be lifting his “body” towards that golden light.
In an instant, he passed through the golden light and entered a vast expanse.
This world was initially dark, but soon, points of light like stars began to appear one after another.
More and more lights emerged until they were dense and dazzling, as if situated in a vast starry sky with numerous galaxies revolving around him.
Li Hao felt somewhat surprised, noticing his body felt light and extremely relaxed.
With a mere thought, he tried to touch the surrounding starlight. As his thoughts moved, the starlight, as if summoned, actively flew towards his body.
Then, like specks of light, they entered his body.
A surge of power instantly filled his entire being.
Boom!
The sky around the mountain top where Li Hao stood seemed to tremble suddenly.
Sitting on a nearby cloud, Feng Boping’s pupils shrank, his gaze turning grave.
He could see that around Li Hao’s realm, the surrounding power had become extremely unique.
It felt as though it had merged with Li Hao’s body!
He now wielded the Power of Heaven and Earth!
Li Hao opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light seemed to shoot out, piercing through the void.
His profound gaze carried a sense of vastness, encapsulating the universe, filled with countless specks of power circulating in his eyes before finally hiding away, leaving behind only a pair of indifferent eyes as if he had seen through all the mundane world.
At this moment, Li Hao understood what the limit of the Zhou Tian Realm was like.
The 108 Zhou Tian major meridians, along with the special Yin and Yang Dual Pulse, had merged to form a brand new major meridian.
Li Hao called it the Heaven and Earth Vein.
This vein connected Heaven and Earth!
His entire body’s meridians were fused together as one, becoming a single major meridian that could turn the Power of Heaven and Earth nearby into a part of his body.
This allowed the Qi Force he could control to increase by more than tenfold!
“So that’s how it is…”
Li Hao muttered to himself.
He felt that this realm, the ultimate level of the Grandmaster Realm, and the condensation of a breath of Immortal Qi in the Land Immortal Realm, drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, were somewhat similar.
The Heaven and Earth Vein was like a bowl, while the Immortal Qi drawing the Power of Heaven and Earth was like the contents being filled.
Previously, without this “bowl,” he could only rely on his physical body to hold it, hence when he reached the limit, he would enter the state of becoming an Immortal.
Yet if his transformation exceeded thirty percent, he would lose control and need the assistance of others to block the connection and halt the process.
But now, he had condensed this bowl.
The Heaven and Earth Vein allowed him to carry far more than before.
This also meant that the extent to which he could transform into an Immortal, the threshold, would be further increased, no longer just thirty percent.
It could likely be forty, fifty, or even sixty percent!
“If all realms are cultivated to their limits, could I truly become an Immortal?”
Li Hao’s eyes flickered with the thought.
