The light erupting from Jiang Yun's eyes suddenly caused the surrounding mist, which had been gently drifting like a veil, to abruptly still. Immediately after, a thunderous roar, like a peal of thunder, reverberated throughout Hidden Peak.
All the mist instantly transformed back into flowing water, into a waterfall, cascading down from a hundred-zhang height.
However, as the waterfall's flow was about to reach Jiang Yun, it strangely parted on its own, as if the current Jiang Yun made it dare not touch him. This caused a clear rift to appear in the originally complete waterfall, which resembled a white ribbon.
Within the rift stood Jiang Yun, his face filled with shock and realization!
Because when he was young, he saw that others didn't need medicinal baths, but he had to take one every few days. This led him to ask several questions every time he bathed, a habit that continued until he was six years old.
Originally, he always thought that his grandfather's words were merely comforting him because he couldn't Cultivate. But now, thinking back, his grandfather's last sentence specifically mentioned the power of the Physical Body, mentioning the ability to shatter everything!
Does this mean that his Physical Body's power can also shatter the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Mountain and Sea World?
The great commotion caused by Jiang Yun made Dongfang Bo and the other two, who had been constantly observing the area, perk up. Although they did not show themselves, their Divine Sense had been maximized and focused intently on Jiang Yun.
At the summit of Hidden Peak, Gu Bu Lao, who had remained seated with his eyes closed, still had a hint of anticipation flash across his tender face.
At the same time, Gu Bu Lao extended a finger and gently tapped Hidden Peak beneath him. Accompanied by a booming sound that outsiders couldn't hear, the entire Hidden Peak trembled slightly, as if it couldn't bear the force of Gu Bu Lao's single finger and was about to collapse.
And amidst this tremor, an invisible Qi wave shot up from the center of the mountain's belly and instantly exploded, silently and gradually dissipating.
"Om!"
Just before this invisible Qi wave completely vanished, a figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Bu Lao. It was Dao Tianyou, the Sect Master of Wen Dao Sect.
Dao Tianyou glared at Gu Bu Lao with a hint of displeasure and said, "You didn't even notify me before activating the Dao Seal. If others aren't allowed to see, does that mean I, the dignified Sect Master, can't see either?"
As Dao Tianyou's words fell, the Qi wave finally completely dissipated. Although nothing seemed to be around Hidden Peak, if anyone's gaze or Divine Sense were directed towards Hidden Peak at this moment, they would only see a distorted void!
Gu Bu Lao completely ignored Dao Tianyou's complaints; he didn't even open his eyes, merely stating indifferently, "If you want to see, then sit down!"
Dao Tianyou lifted his Dao robe and sat down with a thud, but his mouth still wouldn't stop, saying, "You think he found a path? I wonder what kind of path he found, and if he can open the tenth Meridian?"
Gu Bu Lao's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally spoke, "How about I let Dongfang Bo come over and chat with you?"
o See the authentic r" chapter) section* up...
"No need!" Dao Tianyou was startled, then quickly shook his head. He silently mumbled a few words and finally stopped speaking, focusing intently on Jiang Yun, who was still within the waterfall.
The mist transforming back into a waterfall, and the dazzling light in Jiang Yun's eyes, made them all realize that after half a month of silent contemplation, Jiang Yun must have discovered something, gained some insight.
However, they didn't know what Jiang Yun had discovered or understood, so they all wanted to watch closely.
Jiang Yun was completely unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, his mind was still constantly replaying his grandfather's words: "More than just shattering a large stone, one day you will discover that the power of your Physical Body can allow you to shatter everything!"
"Grandfather, whether you said it unintentionally or intentionally, Yun Wazi will try today to see if I can shatter this Heavenly Dao barrier, shatter this Mountain and Sea rule, with the power of my Physical Body!"
Amidst his soft murmurs, the Fire Radiance Sword appeared in Jiang Yun's hand. After silently gazing at it for a moment, Jiang Yun suddenly gripped the hilt and stabbed it into his right chest.
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade directly pierced Jiang Yun's chest. Accompanied by a spurt of blood, Jiang Yun's hand, gripping the hilt, pulled down without hesitation, forcefully carving a large, top-to-bottom wound on his chest. Blood gushed out, falling into the flowing water and staining the waterfall red.
"Ah!"
Such a bloody scene made the usually composed Situ Jing gasp in surprise, then cover her mouth with her hand.
Xuanyuan Xing also frowned tightly and said, "What does he want to do?"
The talkative Dongfang Bo was uncharacteristically silent at this moment, even clenching his jaw, but his eyes, fixed on Jiang Yun, revealed deep concern.
Jiang Yun was brought by him to Hidden Peak, to Gu Bu Lao. Although he greatly hoped Jiang Yun could become his Junior Brother, he did not want Jiang Yun to do anything extreme for it.
In fact, Dongfang Bo even felt an impulse to rush to Jiang Yun's side and stop him.
But in the end, he held back, because he could clearly see the light in Jiang Yun's eyes, and the tenacity on Jiang Yun's face.
The pain caused by his chest being forcefully cut open was unimaginable, but Jiang Yun's body did not tremble in the slightest, because such pain was commonplace for him, not worth mentioning at all.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Yun slowly pulled the Fire Radiance Sword out of his body, put it into his Storage Ring, then extended both hands, grasped the slightly raised flesh on his chest, and forcefully tore it open, revealing the inside of his body, revealing the tenth blocked Meridian!
At this moment, even Xuanyuan Xing couldn't help but gasp, as if feeling the same pain. After touching his own chest, he gave Jiang Yun a thumbs-up.
Dao Tianyou's brows were tightly furrowed. Even now, he couldn't guess what Jiang Yun's series of self-mutilating actions were for.
Meanwhile, Gu Bu Lao beside him still kept his eyes tightly closed, seemingly indifferent to everything happening to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun's gaze fell upon the now exposed tenth Meridian. After taking a deep breath, he finally raised a finger and, very slowly but very steadily, extended it towards the tenth Meridian.
On his finger, Jiang Yun did not use any Spiritual Qi; he even firmly blocked the Spiritual Qi flowing in from the heavens and earth, only using the purest power of his Physical Body.
As his finger drew closer and closer to the tenth Meridian, Jiang Yun's expression became increasingly calm, until, a cracking sound that others could not hear suddenly echoed in his ears, as if something had shattered under his finger.
And as this shattering sound rang out, Jiang Yun's finger finally touched the tenth Meridian without any obstruction, and his fingertip even touched the clustered Impurities!
This scene caused Dongfang Bo and the other two to suddenly widen their eyes. Dao Tianyou even leaped up from the ground, two strange runes momentarily appearing in his eyes before vanishing, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Even Gu Bu Lao's perpetually closed eyes finally opened. He looked deeply at Jiang Yun and softly said, "He has found the path!"
