Chapter 66: Falling short
The Great White Duck and Ouyang Mingri sat at the dining table respectively, eating delicious food while watching Zhu Xian absorb the essence stone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These two guys can be described as like-minded, they don't know each other, after a short contact, they easily chatted together, especially what Ouyang Mingri said, 'do a big vote', the big white duck is very interested in this matter, and is negotiating with him at this time.
Next to him, Zhu Xian closed his knees, and the seven major acupuncture points in his body had begun to operate, pulling the essence energy in the essence stone in his hand, making it enter the body and follow the operation of the acupuncture points.
It can be seen that the essence stone held by him in the palm of his hand is glowing, and there are waves of light circulating, constantly flowing, and then disappearing, submerging into Zhu Xian's palm, flowing to other parts of the body.
The essence energy was surging, very peaceful and stable, carried out at a uniform speed, and was absorbed by Zhu Xian.
As time passed, Zhu Xian's expression became more and more solemn, and he was carefully sensing, checking the sword intent and essence energy in his body at any time.
"Almost!"
At a certain moment, he opened his eyes violently, and his whole body was shocked, and then, the surging sword intent and essence energy exploded, surging and converging in his body, and this time the location was next to the heart, where a point of light gradually shone brighten, attracting endless sword intent and essence, all of which were incorporated into it, like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring, and not stopping.
In the end, the light is as bright as the sun, illuminating the heaven and earth, where the surrounding flesh and blood are reflected in the ruddy and transparent.
However, this is not enough, the acupuncture points have not been fully lit, and even now, it is still devouring sword intent and essence.
Zhu Xian was already a little anxious, because the sword intent and essence energy stored in his body was not enough, and now it was no longer emerging, only the one that had just appeared from the limbs and hundreds of bones was being led to the acupoint.
"Drink!"
With a light drink, the seven acupuncture points were running faster, and at this time, the eighth acupuncture point had not yet been formed and was not fully lit, and Zhu Xian did not dare to move.
The fluorescence on the essence stone is even more dazzling, although it is still relatively mild, but compared to the average essence stone, it is already very bright, and the essence energy on it rolls, and the ripples spread out in circles, turning into the purest essence and escaping out.
However, soon, these escaping essence qi became thinner, because Zhu Xian was absorbing, they escaped from the essence stone, which undoubtedly eliminated the barrier when absorbing, and without the restriction of the essence stone, they were rapidly pouring into Zhu Xian's body.
"What's the situation?"
On the one hand, Ouyang Mingri has been paying attention, but at this time, he was puzzled, looking at Zhu Xian who had been absorbing essence stones, he felt very wrong, generally speaking, a essence stone to help a person in the martial arts realm advance, enough to accumulate from the very beginning, supporting a person to transform true qi, this is a real treasure.
But the situation in front of him made him puzzled, Zhu Xian had been absorbing the essence stone for a while, according to the reason, he was the Nine Heavens of the Martial Arts Realm, and it was time to be promoted to the Great Perfection at this time, but it was obvious that Zhu Xian had been as usual, constantly absorbing, but he just couldn't advance.
"Don't worry, this kid is weird, I guess your stone doesn't have a lot of effect on him. ”
Roast Duck stuffed a finger-sized fruit into its mouth, and juice immediately began to flow from the corners of its mouth, but it didn't care, but talked to Ouyang Mingri very indifferently.
“......”
Ouyang Ming was speechless, at first he heard the big white duck say that Zhu Xian was weird, he didn't have anything yet, but as soon as he heard that this essence stone had little effect on Zhu Xian, he immediately rolled his eyes.
This dead duck is still here, and he is in Kanda Mountain again, and he doesn't know where he came from, he is crazy, as if he doesn't like anything, even if the treasure is powerful, it can't get into its eyes.
"Almost!"
This time it was not Zhu Xian who said it, but the big white duck, it looked at Zhu Xian who was full of energy, and there was a light in his eyes, and he had already seen some situations.
And just as its words fell, Zhu Xian's body shook again, and then, a surging aura emanated, like a gust of wind blowing, setting off some soft things, making the eyes of the big white duck and Ouyang Mingri brighten, and an indescribable feeling was derived.
Zhu Xian still didn't get up, his eyes were slightly closed, and the aura around his body was constantly agitating, at the same time, the essence stone in his hand that had dimmed a little bit was even more dim, this time, the eight major acupoints in his body were running at the same time, and the effect was directly increased several times, which was terrifying.
Eventually, the lustrous essence stone became dull and turbid, becoming an ordinary stone, and there was no longer any fluctuation of essence energy.
Strands of essence qi circulated in Zhu Xian's body, constantly converging and separating, intertwined and lingering.
"Almost, almost..."
Zhu Xian, who was still guiding the operation of the essence qi in his body, was extremely depressed at this time, although he had advanced to the Martial Arts Realm Eight Heavens, but at this time, he was not happy at all, because he was only a little short of being promoted now, but he just stopped it so stiffly, it was like a sneeze that couldn't be sneezed, and it was uncomfortable.
"Give it your all, and you may break through the shackles!"
Suddenly, a voice came into Zhu Xian's ears, it was the voice of the big white duck, it didn't know what method it used, it was able to condense the sound into a bunch, and directly penetrate into Zhu Xian's heart to communicate.
"Do you give it your all?"
Zhu Xian's forehead was a little sweaty, he was already speeding up the acupuncture points, but the effect was very small, there was no excess sword intent and energy in his body, which meant that there were no consumables to support the promotion.
"No matter, let's break out, extremely forbidden!"
In order to advance, for the sake of strength, Zhu Xian quickly made a decision, maybe only by breaking out the extreme prohibition can it be possible to go one step further and take this crucial step.
However......
After dozens of attempts, he didn't get anything, and the extreme ban was not triggered, it seemed that as Zhu Xian continued to get stronger, the probability of triggering the extreme ban became lower, and now it basically won't succeed, just like when he escaped from the mouth of the silver fire snake before, he also went through continuous triggers, until dozens or hundreds of times, he could succeed.
However, this doesn't affect anything, Zhu Xian is still trying, and he is very desperate, his whole body is trembling due to the operation of the eight acupuncture points, revealing dripping sweat, but he is still triggering, trying to break through the limit.
Soon, he found that the light points that had already condensed most of them had a tendency to form, which made him happy, it seemed that this time he could really break through and come to the realm of the Nine Heavens.
But the reality is always crueler than ideal, seeing that the acupuncture point is about to take shape, Zhu Xian suddenly felt something in his heart, and an inexplicable qi appeared from an unknown place, it was like a barrier, blocking everything, and even preventing the light point from continuing to form, cutting off the hub of external energy transmission.
"Boom Boom!"
Zhu Xian roared in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly broke out, wanting to break through the barrier and go further.
"Boom!"
The eight acupuncture points glowed, and in each of them, there was a surging sword intent rushing out, slashing towards the underworld, wanting to tear through the diaphragm and rush through.
"Click!"
The sound of cracks loomed, and from time to time it sounded, the barrier was at its limit, unable to hold on, and it was about to be destroyed.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Zhu Xian felt a loud noise, and then, he raised his head and looked into the distance with a shocked gaze.
It's a misty space, there's nothing, it's not only vast, it's empty.
No, there is another thing here, it should be called a 'thing', it is an eye, the eyes are not big, it is no different from a normal person, and it does not have any special temperament, it just floats in the void, staring at Zhu Xian coldly.
"What is this?"
Zhu Xian's feelings were completely different, he just felt that breaking the barrier and advancing was just around the corner, but when everything calmed down, he only saw one eye, which seemed to contain the most beautiful factor in the world, although just by looking at it, he could no longer extricate himself, because Zhu Xian at this time had been confused.
In his eyes, there was only that eye, and nothing else, and that eye seemed to occupy the whole world, and no matter where he was in all directions, he could no longer see anything else, only this one eye.
And in the depths of the pupil of this eye, Zhu Xian found a sword, a rusty iron sword, the iron sword was quietly floating there, and there was a remnant of the Dao looming, even if the sword body did not move, it did not affect it to separate the sword shadow in the surrounding space, which was very weird.
Until......
"Huh!"
A sword light flashed, and the sword light seemed to suddenly appear from the void, without a trace of fluctuation, let alone a source.
Zhu Xian wanted to dodge, but he was shocked to find that this sword light was very weird, no matter where he wanted to dodge, this sword light seemed to be waiting for him there, as if the entire space was covered by this sword light, and there was nowhere to hide.
Then, unconscious, he opened his eyes again, and he was back in his body.
However, at this time, he didn't get up immediately, because just now, when that sword light appeared, he actually had a strange feeling, as if he was very familiar, and wanted to find out.
Even though everything is gone now, that feeling will not go away, and he is studying and contemplating it in the bottom of his heart.
The ethereal sword light kept reappearing in his mind, again and again, impacting Zhu Xian's heart.
It was like a death spell, every time it appeared, it was a flash, and it suddenly appeared from nothingness, and in this moment, the picture in Zhu Xian's mind had disappeared, and then repeated, the sword light reappeared, and everything continued to collapse, endlessly.
"Huh?"
The big white duck, who was chatting happily with Ouyang Mingri, suddenly exclaimed, and it immediately set its eyes on Zhu Xian, concentrating on observation, and the look of surprise in its eyes became more and more intense.
"Old Tang, what's wrong?"
Ouyang Mingri and the roast duck were already familiar with each other, but he did not call Da Bai the same as Zhu Xian, but called it very officially, at this time, seeing the big white duck looking at Zhu Xian with a surprised face, his eyes did not blink, he immediately asked.
"Shh
The big white duck up one of its wings and places it in front of it in a silent gesture.
Then, stretching his neck forward, he brought the duck's head close to Ouyang Mingri, and said softly: "This kid is comprehending something, don't disturb him!"
Ouyang Mingri naturally nodded, but he was also surprised in his heart, Zhu Xian was still so young and had not broken through the realm of truth, he could actually understand something, this was really not an ordinary teenager.
You must know that generally only when you reach the realm of the true path and have a considerable understanding of the realm of the true path, will you begin to perceive and improve your own combat power, and there are many such perceptions, including martial arts, secret arts, exercises, morality, state of mind, etc., which are very complicated.
This is also the main reason why the martial arts realm teenagers are not prominent in many big forces, because only when they reach the true path realm is the beginning of the explosion of strength, and only after the true path realm will some real geniuses rise and appear in the eyes of the world.
However, this is not to say that the geniuses of the martial arts realm are very weak, on the contrary, their future path is broader, except for the difference between the two in the period of rise, there is no difference between the two, which is stronger and which is weak, mainly depends on the personal development in the later stage.
At this time, Zhu Xian's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the beads of sweat were dripping down, wetting his clothes, and he seemed to be unconscious, still closing his eyes tightly, immersed in the endless sword light torture.
At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a strong momentum exploded instantly, shaking the table in front of him slightly.
"Whew. ”
Zhu Xian gasped, and he could see that his eyes were full of bloodshots, and a look of exhaustion was revealed.
"How's that, what's the catch?"
The big white duck immediately came up, although it was so asked, but it knew very well that Zhu Xian had failed, not only did he not comprehend anything, but even the martial arts realm Nine Heavens did not break through, and the last momentum was just a dissipation after failure.
"The peak of the Eight Heavens of the Martial Dao Realm, there is only one step left to advance to the Nine Heavens. ”
Zhu Xian exhaled and spoke slowly, although he said it easily, only he knew that if he wanted to be promoted to the Nine Heavens, it was not as simple as he imagined.
Because just now, he faced that sword light in his mind for the last time, and he still didn't succeed in cracking it, and then he couldn't enter that state anymore, he thought that it should be the result of serious mental consumption, and he couldn't continue to support him to continue to comprehend.
Therefore, everything came to an end, and the barrier that had been broken was restored again, blocking him from the Nine Heavens, unable to set foot on it.
Not only that, but the most important thing is that he feels that the barrier is stronger, and the next time he wants to break through, he needs more essence energy, and he also needs to be fully prepared, because it is very likely that he will still have to face that mysterious sword light, if he still fails, he will always be stuck here and unable to move forward.
