Chapter 0020
Reflection Peak's sealed room was completely sealed off, with merely a few small gaps for air . One ate, drank, and excreted all within the place . It was like a prison . This cramped place was so dark that one could not see one's outstretched hand . To be sealed here for a year was not something that a normal person could endure .
Feng Xueya had locked Wu Yu inside perhaps to test his will . A martial cultivator faced many dangers, and it was impossible for someone with weak willpower to succeed on the arduous path of cultivation .
As for Wu Yu, he had killed five people in succession on Heaven's Lament, and his state of mind had changed . After becoming an External Disciple, he had finally set off on the path of an immortal, and his character had changed as well .
A year's time did not daunt him . Because to him, it was a time when no one could disturb him . He could concentrate on cultivating, and it was an excellent chance for him to charge to an even higher level!
"The Basics of the Sword says that since I have killed five people, I am of an evil nature . By right, I should be executed on the spot . A more magnanimous judgement would be to invalidate my Immortal Dao path and exile me from the sect . Knowing this, the Sect Leader's treatment must have set tongues wagging . "
He was not in a hurry to train . And in this darkness, he used the light from the gaps to finish reading the three books that they had been issued at the opening ceremony . Out of these, The Basics of the Sword and The Records of the Bipo Mountain Range had lighter content and could be finished in a couple of hours .
But The Chronicles of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent was 10 times thicker than The Basics of the Sword . It detailed huge volumes of information related to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent . It included the Three Thousand Immortal Kingdoms, all kinds of major schools, power distribution, families, assorted demons and monsters, and even more spirits, treasures, martial arts, medicines, talismans, etc . After finishing this chronicle, Wu Yu's knowledge had increased greatly . Only now did he understand how broad the world he lived in truly was .
"This vast landmass is known as the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, and it’s surrounded on all four sides by sea . It's limitlessly rich . On the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, besides great mountains and rivers, it is a paradise . Many mortals are unable to reach this place . There are Three Thousand Immortal Kingdoms . My Dong Yue Wu Kingdom is in the most eastern region of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, but in terms of national power, it's low when compared to those in the middle range, and can’t even hold a candle to those of the highest ranks!
"The Three Thousand Immortal Kingdoms' combined territories are but a third of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent . The other two thirds are high mountains and dangerous places . They are forbidden areas where no mortal can live in . These areas are widely ranged by demons . Immortal sect forests grow there and are full of ancient history . They have been the battlegrounds for immortals and demons . Also, within the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the Heavenly Sword Sect is a sect that has relatively more interaction with the mortal world . "
After all, the Bipo Mountain Range was within the mortal world . If one was lucky, even mortals could traverse the high hills and crawl here .
"Become an immortal, broaden your horizons! My goal should be the entire vastness of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent! But I do not know if the Heavenly Domain that descendant spoke of is as endless and vast as the Dong Sheng Divine Continent . "
Just The Chronicles of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent had elevated Wu Yu's mind to a different level .
"But it is important to cast one's gaze far, important to broaden one's horizons, and even more important to be grounded in reality . This Invincible Vajra Body, I have only trained it to the fifth tier of the first realm . Now I've returned to the fifth tier of the martial way . From now on, it'll be a difficult grind . "
He had killed Situ Jin and Situ Kang - and their 13-year-old brother, Situ Minglang, was raging to take revenge . When Wu Yu went out, it would not be easy . This crucial year would determine how far Wu Yu could go, or if he would be cut down in a moment .
"Situ Minglang is too young . If I fight him, it’ll seem like I'm too old . . . . . . "
It was fine to be older, but if he was beaten up by his opponent, that was even more of a shame . Not only would he lose face, but he would also embarrass the Sect Leader .
In this year, he had expand his horizons and compose his heart!
"The Invincible Vajra Body's sixth tier is called Full-Body Golden Crystal Meridians . Once mastered, the entire body's meridians will be torn asunder . My body will become like the expansive, starry sky . My entire body's meridians will be like the stars but burn like the sun!"
The later one began training the Invincible Vajra Body, the more shocking it was . Especially that dream with the huge pillar - it had made Wu Yu deeply feel how far he had to go . But the Invincible Vajra Body was cruel . If he was not especially careful, he would fall prematurely, to the benefit of others .
Meeting a calamity, losing his princeship and reputation, and returning from death's door . Wu Yu knew what was precious to him .
The road of martial cultivation was one of persistence in the face of dryness . And in this sealed room, Wu Yu adhered to the lore of Full-Body Golden Crystal Meridians and evoked the power of the ground and fire, which flowed through his feet into his whole body . The fire burned his meridian points, and then through them . They became golden crystal meridians and heated his body until it was as hot as a meteor .
A body had hundreds of meridian points . They were numerous, and the fire from the ground burned inside his body . It was even more excruciating than normal fires, and only those with the strongest wills could change the entire body's meridian points to golden crystal .
The guard on the sealed room would often hear anguished wails that were painful to hear . Even deep in the night, there were moans akin to wild beasts . All of this was Wu Yu burning the hundreds of meridian points on his body .
Day after day passed, and the sealed room often shone with firelight . Through the gaps, one could see that the meridians on Wu Yu's body were starting to burn like comets . His body was like a sky with stars burning, an uncountable number of stars! As the number of broken meridians increased, the sealed room became even brighter . Even the metal on the sealed room's great door seemed like it would melt .
After 130 days, Wu Yu finally managed to break open all the meridian points in his body . It was the first time he had achieved the Opening Meridians tier . At that moment, there were hundreds of meridian points all over his body, which shone like the sun within the darkness . They were dense and, although small, shone intensely . The entire steel sealed room glowed red from the heat . Especially those eyes . Once they shot out golden light, they could virtually melt steel .
On his back, the sauvastika symbol became even more scorched . In the dimness, he howled like a trapped monkey!
Weng!
He clenched his fists, and the prison shook .
"This Invincible Vajra Body has flamed my heart . In my imagination, I am actually an enraged ape, beating down everything in my way .
