2447 Eighth Meridian


    Time slowly trickled past.


    After saying that to Xiao Ba, Chu Liuyue didn’t speak further and looked at the front quietly.


    After the heavenly doctorpetition ended, the warrior side quickly concluded.


    Compared to the otherpetitions, there were the most number of people here. However, thepetition was also very intense.


    About a hundred legendary warriors challenged Mu Dongyou, but only eight passed sessfully.


    In the end, Mu Dongyou turned around and exited the arena.


    Seeing the eight legendary warriors, he slowly walked out.


    They were injured to various extents and looked miserable. However, they were already decentpared to those that died during the life-and-death challenge.


    Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran’s gaze turned slightly. He nced at Chu Liuyue and could not help but shake his head. “Sigh, what a pity…”


    Her few subordinates all had hope, yet they missed such a chance.


    Chu Liuyue naturally heard his words, but she did not really care about this. Her brows slightly moved as she smiled.


    Seeing this, Xiao Ran guessed her stance and swallowed his remaining words. Perhapspared to the rest, the lives of her subordinates are more important? It’s good if they could be deities, but they need to have that skill and luck. Besides, including her, quite a few people around her have progressed to thest stage.


    Thinking of this, Xiao Ran stopped thinking and did not say anything further.


    …


    The lightning bolts in the Holy Jade of Chaos quickly depleted.


    The few Armory Refinement Masters focused on refining their Yuan instruments as they crazily fought for the lightning bolts. It was a pity that nobody seeded in producing a holy weapon in the end.


    Only two Armory Refinement Masters forcefully won thepetition and gained thest eligibility with their very outstanding supreme Yuan instruments.


    “There are indeed the fewest winners in the Armory Refinement Master challenge,” muttered Su Li lightly.


    It was originally the cultivation aspect that had the highest requirements on a cultivator.


    Mu Hongyu asked curiously, “Mr. Su, if those lightning bolts were released normally, would the situation be better?”


    Su Li shook her head. “Even though that has some impact, the First Deity has already released sufficient lightning bolts into the Holy Jade of Chaos. Hence, overall, it wouldn’t affect the Armory Refinement Masters during the life-and-death challenge.”


    Mu Hongyu nodded in understanding. “I see. I thought that since they were so close to the Holy Jade of Chaos, it might increase the chances of producing a holy weapon…”


    Xiao Ranughed out loud. “That’s hard. The Holy Jade of Chaos isn’t consideredplete at the moment, so it’s very difficult to break through to be an Armory Refinement Saint. Those without the talent won’t be able to do it even if they stand inside the Holy Jade of Chaos!”


    Mu Hongyu instinctively asked, “Then, what if the Holy Jade of Chaos is returned to its original appearance? Would it be easier then?”


    “ording to that logic, yes. But how would it be that easy?” Xiao Ran clicked his tongue. “That Holy Jade of Chaos has been damaged for 10,000 years. All these years, the Fantasy Divine Hall has been searching for the missing piece, but there wasn’t much news. I think… there’s no chance!”


    Upon hearing this, Mu Hongyu was slightly dazed, and she couldn’t help but look at Chu Liuyue.


    The surrounding people increasingly became quieter.


    They had all seen Chu Liuyue use the Celestial Shield. Without a doubt, that was the missing piece of the Holy Jade of Chaos!


    However… for some reason, Chu Liuyue had been in the Fantasy Divine Hall for so long, but the Celestial Shield did not seem to return.


    Su Li knitted her brows slightly. She remembered the scene at the Red Moon Desert clearly—the moment Chu Liuyue stepped into the illusory Fantasy Divine Hall, the Holy Jade of Chaos suddenly exploded and produced an extremely strong force to snatch her Celestial Shield!


    But now that they were in the real Fantasy Divine Hall, nothing happened.


    Suddenly, Chu Liuyue seemed to sense something, and she looked in a certain direction.


    …


    Phoenix Mountain.


    Red-golden fire silently burned on the mountain.


    Tuan Zi sat down cross-legged and tightly closed her eyes.


    Those fires, coupled with shocking force, kept surging toward her.


    Her aura kept strengthening.


    Before her, that Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed already had eight leaves, which flowed lightly with the wind.


    A thinyer of red appeared on Tuan Zi’s adorable face.


    Faint pain came from all parts of her body.


    Sweat droplets kept emerging on her forehead, but they quickly evaporated.


    Her heart had an extremely strong prediction: the eighth meridian should soon be opened!


    …


    Finally, thest person in the Xuan Masterpetition had stopped.


    Jin Yui let out a long breath.


    Even though he was the Seventh Deity, it was still very effortful for him to assess so many people at once.


    Unexpectedly, the number of Xuan Masters who passed the life-and-death challenge was more than expected. There were six of them.


    Yu Qian knitted his brows slightly and looked at Fan Yunxiao. “Didn’t you say previously that only about three of them would sessfully pass? Why are there suddenly another three of them?”


    Three more didn’t sound like much, but it had great meaning.


    This was two-fold the initial predicted number that could pass the life-and-death challenge.


    Fan Yunxiao’s expression was not good. “Well…”


    “Isn’t that simple? Before this, three people sessfullypleted the Star Path and understood all the Xuan formations on it!”


    At the side, Yan Ge suddenly chuckled and said, “These few people had spent quite a lot of effort on the Xuan formations in the heavenly scroll previously. What, don’t you know this?”
