Chapter 119: Reaching the "Middle Heaven" Realm

  The dark night had already enveloped the city, and the city's nighttime without lighting was so pitch-black. Although there were also some places that still shone with lights, they seemed like fireflies, which could go out at any time. However, one corner of the city was now shining as brightly as daylight.

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian looked at the dragon-shaped lightning that was constantly moving around him, cleared all the distractions in his mind and shouted "Come on!"

  These dragon-shaped lightning bolts seemed to be extremely obedient to Wu Xiaotian's command, and they directly rushed into Wu Xiaotian's open mouth. When the first dragon-shaped lightning bolt entered Wu Xiaotian's mouth, Wu Xiaotian silently recited the incantation and mental method of the first realm of "Jiuxiao".

  "With a heart as dead ashes, and a body like withered wood..."

  After the dragon-shaped lightning entered Wu Xiaotian's mouth, it directly transformed into a bolt of lightning energy and slowly flowed into Wu Xiaotian's meridians. After circling around Wu Xiaotian's meridians once, it finally entered Wu Xiaotian's lower dantian. Wu Xiaotian didn't pay attention to the warm feeling in his meridians and focused on silently reciting the incantation of "Jiuxiao".

  Those dragon-shaped lightning bolts, one after another, drilled into Wu Xiantian's mouth. As more and more lightning energy coursed through his meridians, the meridians didn't feel as comfortable as before, but instead gradually emitted pain. Even the lower dantian began to swell due to the influx of lightning energy. Despite this, Wu Xiantian did not stop absorbing the lightning energy, for he knew that it was currently expanding his meridians and dantian. If he couldn't hold on, the consequences would be severe: at best, his meridians would shatter, and at worst, he would die. Even Wu Xiantian's abnormal recovery ability would be useless in this case.

  If Wu Xiaotian didn't have such innate advantages, let alone expanding his meridians and dantian, a single lightning bolt could turn him into charcoal before it even turned into energy. Even if he successfully absorbed the lightning energy into his body, his meridians would likely be completely destroyed by the violent natural lightning. In ancient times, only one in ten people could cultivate the first realm of "Jiuxiao", and if they knew Wu Xiaotian had such abnormal innate advantages, those ancients would jump out of their coffins and curse heaven for being unfair.

  Although it was said that Wu Xiantian was not feeling well either, with the meridians all over his body becoming extremely painful, especially the lower dantian which seemed to be about to burst. This pain did not stop Wu Xiantian from absorbing the lightning energy, and this pain was completely disproportionate to the pain of his soul. Having experienced three times the intense pain of his soul, Wu Xiantian's endurance for this pain had become abnormal, just like his recovery ability.

  His face didn't show any signs of pain, and the dragon-shaped lightning continued to enter his body through his mouth, transforming into bolts of lightning energy that poured into his meridians, which were already overflowing with lightning energy. Now, only a few thin strands of dragon-shaped lightning remained around Wu Xiaotian, along with two thick, waist-sized dragon-shaped lightning bolts coiled on top of his head!

  Those tiny dragon-shaped lightning bolts were gradually absorbed by Wu Xiaotian, leaving only the two thick dragon-shaped lightning bolts. The eyes of these two dragon-shaped lightning bolts flashed with a noble and mysterious purple color, but this purple color disappeared after flashing violently for a moment. Then, the two dragon-shaped lightning bolts drilled into Wu Xiaotian's mouth, and as soon as they entered his mouth, they transformed into two thick lightning energy beams.

  These two bolts of lightning energy swirled together and drilled into Wu Xiaotian's congested meridians.

  "Roar......"

  Wu Xiaotian could no longer bear the pain transmitted from his meridians, as if they had been severed by the two bolts of lightning energy. However, at this moment, Wu Xiaotian's meridians were not severed, but were being ravaged by the two lightning energies.

  These two lightning energies were like ferocious beasts, darting back and forth through Wu Xiaotian's meridians. Wherever his meridians were congested, they would charge towards that place. Each time they struck, a pained howl was emitted.

  "Roar, roar......"

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian seemed to be staring his eyeballs out, with blood vessels densely packed on the surface of his eyes, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged out, making Wu Xiaotian's current appearance extremely ferocious. However, he had no way to control it because he was completely unable to control the lightning energy inside his body.

  The two thunderous energies in the meridians, as long as they broke through the blockage, absorbed the scattered evolutionary energy and then carried an even more powerful impact force to rush towards the next congested location. They were like snowballs rolling bigger and bigger until they circled Wu Xiaotian's meridians and charged towards his lower dantian with an unstoppable momentum!

  Roar

  A loud, blood-curdling scream, accompanied by the smell of blood, drove the nearby zombies crazy, and they charged in the direction of the sound. However, before they could even cover half the distance, they were drawn to a man because the smell of blood on him was incredibly strong, a hundred times stronger than the smell that had come from afar. So the zombies abandoned their pursuit of the distant source of the smell and turned to chase this man who emitted an intense smell of blood. If Xu Min saw the man's face, he would have discovered that it was the young man who had been hit on the head with an ashtray by Jian Sheng.

  This young man decided to take revenge on everyone in the hotel, whether it was Xu Min, Jin Shengnan or people who were with him before. He wanted to avenge them all, so he thought of zombies. He wanted to lure the zombies into the hotel and let everyone become food for the zombies. Just as he slipped out of the hotel, he heard a chilling scream that made his heart cold - the scream of humans. He wondered who could make such a scream and walked cautiously for a while before discovering that some zombies were also attracted by the scream and were rushing towards the direction where the scream came from.

  Although his stomach was empty, the young man knew he couldn't go any further in that direction. He picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground and cut several gashes on his body before turning to run towards the hotel, with the zombies following him as he had hoped.

  The young man didn't know that his actions had helped Wu Xiaotian, who was knocked unconscious by the impact of the dantian and thunder energy. Now Wu Xiaotian lay on the ground, still spitting out blood from his mouth, but the pain like a meteor hitting the earth had passed. His dantian now resembled a thunder pool in the spiritual space - filled with thunder and lightning, and the meridians also had the power of thunder and lightning running through them. If Wu Xiaotian could see the situation in his dantian and meridians at this time, he would know that he had successfully cultivated the first realm "Zhongtian" of the "Jiuxiao" technique. After being ravaged by the thunder energy, Wu Xiaotian's meridians became abnormally wide, like a small thumb compared to a chopstick before, and his dantian capacity increased, now resembling a lake rather than a pool.
