In the vast depths of the ocean, how could there be someone?
Not to mention Qin Tian; anyone else would be terrified.
"After a thousand years, I finally waited for you."
The figure standing tall in the endless sea gazed up at Qin Tian with hands clasped behind its back.
At that moment, when their eyes met, Qin Tian felt as if the world was spinning. The Dark Gold Battle Bones and Meridians that had been enhanced countless times now felt insignificant in comparison.
In a daze, he even sensed a feeling of being shattered.
"Senior..."
Qin Tian struggled to suppress the blood rising in his chest, working hard to heal his internal injuries. He lowered his head and looked at the figure beneath the sea.
He found it strange; he could clearly sense that this figure's cultivation was within the Channeling Realm.
Yet, despite the vast distance between them, Qin Tian felt an overwhelming urge to prostrate himself.
Why was that?
"Follow me!"
The figure turned and took a step forward. The boundless ocean seemed to shrink beneath its feet, and in an instant, it was hundreds of feet away.
Qin Tian was puzzled but could only ignite his protective flames, striving to dispel the heavy pressure that threatened to crush him.
Then, he began to chase after this figure at a painfully slow pace.
However, even with all his might, even burning his Meridians and Golden Battle Bones, he couldn't catch up to this mysterious figure at all.
The distance continued to stretch infinitely.
However, Qin Tian found himself powerless.
After a stick of incense had burned down, Qin Tian could no longer see that figure.
Just as he was feeling lost and confused, a crisp sound rang out.
Then, a figure appeared before him.
"For a thousand years, you are the first person to see me. Now, I give you a chance—your only chance to survive. Make sure to seize it!"
He spoke meaningfully.
Suddenly, his figure appeared right behind Qin Tian.
With a single finger pointed out, it seemed as if a tremendous wave was compressed into a single point, crashing down towards Qin Tian's neck.
There was no opportunity to dodge.
Qin Tian's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Such slow reaction speed?"
The figure shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with Qin Tian.
However, Qin Tian then stood up, turned around, and looked at him.
"I wonder if you dare to bet with me?"
"Shattering the Heavens."
Even this figure was taken aback for a moment.
Then, he burst into laughter. "You want to make a bet with me? Tell me the terms!"
Qin Tian did not laugh; instead, he became even more serious.
"If I can evade your next move, then you will tell me why, despite both being in the Channeling Realm, there is such a vast difference between us."
The boy's resolute gaze momentarily caused the figure to pause.
He had not expected that this young man before him would possess such meticulous thoughts.
In that earlier situation, he remained composed and even managed to discern that he too was in the Channeling Realm.
Was he truly just a boy?
The figure looked Qin Tian up and down, then nodded.
"My name is Thunderous Roar. A thousand years ago, I was ranked one hundred seventeenth on the Genius List of the Central Plains Tactics Mansion. I had a hundred percent chance of stepping into the Qi Control Realm.
However, in pursuit of entering the legendary Perfect Meridian Realm, I ultimately chose to leave the Central Continent and travel through other lands. In the end, I inadvertently fell into a seal set by the First Ancestor of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect."
When the words "First Ancestor" left his lips, it was evident that his expression grew much more sinister.
Clearly, he harbored deep resentment towards this seal that had confined him for a millennium.
However, anyone who has been sealed for a thousand years would surely be displeased.
"This place is different from the outside world; to be precise, time here is frozen!"
Thunderous Roar never fails to astonish. If what was said earlier was shocking enough, this statement would truly instill fear in Qin Tian.
Time is frozen here?
That means while a thousand years have passed outside, almost nothing has changed here.
"How is that possible?"
Qin Tian was filled with doubt.
How could time possibly be frozen?
"Indeed, time here is frozen."
Unexpectedly, as Qin Tian struggled to believe it, a voice emerged from his right eye.
Martial God Senior.
"If time is frozen, how do you know a thousand years have passed?"
Qin Tian clicked his tongue, yet he had no choice but to accept this fact.
If time truly is frozen, then the being before him must indeed be alive.
A Channeling Realm expert who has lived for a thousand years.
It sounded utterly unbelievable.
"Because I can see the world outside."
With a step forward, the sea water in front of him changed in an instant.
A distorted screen appeared, revealing everything from the outside world.
Qin Tian saw the disciples floating in the air outside the Nine Dragons Hall.
He also spotted Gong Xueyi and Pei Haidong on two mountain peaks.
Pei Haidong seemed quite disdainful, hardly paying attention to the Ninth Hall.
In contrast, Gong Xueyi appeared worried as she gazed at the Ninth Palace.
Qin Tian's heart tightened suddenly.
Gong Xueyi!
This girl, who seemed like an iceberg and appeared unwilling to say a word to him, always kept a silent watch when he was unaware.
A warm feeling flowed through Qin Tian's heart.
"I must get out!"
Qin Tian lifted his head and looked at Thunderous Roar.
"I don't care where you came from or where you're going. I just want to say, tell me what you need me to do, and in return, what will you give me?"
This was a transaction, very fair.
"You help me escape, and I will give you the opportunity to enter the Perfect Meridian Realm."
Thunderous Roar slowly opened his mouth.
"Opportunity? Are you saying that even with your help, success is not guaranteed?"
Qin Tian was quite surprised by this.
However, even Qin Tian had immense expectations for the Perfect Meridian Realm.
Before him, Thunderous Roar was indeed at the Channeling Realm.
Clearly, he was what one would call the Perfect Meridian Realm.
What kind of realm was this?
It made Qin Tian, who was about to reach a hundred and eight Meridians, feel like an ant facing an elephant.
He was very eager.
"The Perfect Meridian Realm requires the right timing, location, and people. All three are essential! Even I took a thousand years for the final step."
Thunderous Roar spoke.
A thousand years?
Qin Tian broke into a cold sweat.
Did it really have to be this difficult?
Not to mention a thousand years, it seemed that cultivators at the Qi Control Realm could only live for at most two hundred years.
Above the Qi Control Realm lies the Divine Connection Realm.
One can only live for five hundred years.
Not everyone is as fortunate as Thunderous Roar, who cultivated for a thousand years in a still moment of time.
If the Perfect Meridian Realm is truly that difficult to achieve, then Qin Tian would rather give up.
He would not waste a thousand years on such matters.
In reality, Qin Tian really did not have a thousand years to waste.
"This depends on the individual. My master told me back then that I had no chance of reaching the Perfect Meridian Realm, which is why I left the Central Plains Tactics Mansion and came here."
Thunderous Roar chuckled softly.
"Heavenly Strategy Manor is one of the top forces in the Central Continent. If one can enter the Genius List, they will receive preferential resources. It serves as a foundation to become the Supreme Champion."
When mentioning Heavenly Strategy Manor, Thunderous Roar's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
A thousand years have passed; he wondered how many of his fellow disciples from back then were still around.
Perhaps no one would be as lucky as he was!
However, he had now truly stepped into the Perfect Meridian Realm, and his future looked even brighter.
If he were to return to Heavenly Strategy Manor now, he would be able to obtain even more resources.
That feeling would be extraordinarily satisfying!
"What exactly is the Perfect Meridian Realm?"
Qin Tian had never heard of this realm before.
Thunderous Roar nodded and looked at Qin Tian.
"The world knows that aside from the meridians in the hands and feet, there are one hundred and eight meridians in the human body. Once all are opened, one reaches the perfection of the Channeling Realm and can strive for the Qi Control Realm.
However, in the distant ancient times, it was not so. During that era, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was far more abundant than it is now. The Ancestors could harness the natural energies of heaven and earth within themselves. After opening all one hundred and eight meridians, they could glimpse the last two meridians of the human body."
Thunderous Roar paused for a moment before continuing.
"These last two meridians do not affect one's entry into the Qi Control Realm or higher realms. However, if one opens these two meridians, their own Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy will no longer dissipate; it will only flow in, with no outflow.
This leads to a path unlike any other, which I call the Path of Sky Plundering. Because across the world, all cultivators experience a dissipation of their Qi. In essence, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy is merely borrowed; it does not belong to you."
As Thunderous Roar finished speaking, Qin Tian's face turned pale.
This was something he had never heard before.
He had no idea about this matter.
"Senior, is what he said true?"
Qin Tian asked anxiously, worried that the person before him was deceiving him.
After a moment of silence, Martial God Senior nodded.
"Not a word is false."
A chill ran through Qin Tian's heart.
He never imagined that cultivators absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy for their practice only to find out that they were merely borrowing it.
All those painstakingly cultivated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy...
Nothing belongs to oneself.
If one day, the heavens decide to take it all away, they can do so immediately.
Anger!
A surge of overwhelming anger compressed within Qin Tian.
All this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was painstakingly gathered bit by bit by him.
Why?
It does not belong to him.
Why?
Why should it be taken away at will?
No!
Qin Tian clenched his fists and looked at Thunderous Roar.
Thunderous Roar nodded, understanding Qin Tian's thoughts.
Surely, no cultivator would be willing to accept such a reality. It’s like working hard under the Shopkeeper for half a lifetime.
After all that effort, you finally saved enough money to buy a house.
Just as you were happily about to unlock the door, unexpectedly, your Shopkeeper appeared before you with a fierce expression.
He snatched the key away.
"Your money is all mine. I can take it whenever I want. The house you bought with my money is also mine. If I feel like it, I'll let you stay for a few days; if not, get out!"
What right do you have!
Qin Tian felt as if something was stuck in his throat.
Time and again, he fought for his life, escaping death over and over.
All for the sake of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, enhancing his Cultivation, and defying fate!
Yet unexpectedly, none of this belonged to him.
Why?
Qin Tian was furious, feeling deceived.
"But once you open these last two Meridians, you will step into the Perfect Meridian Realm, no longer bound by the heavens and earth, becoming truly free."
Thunderous Roar looked at Qin Tian earnestly.
"I understand. What are these two Meridians called?"
Qin Tian took a deep breath and looked at Thunderous Roar.
"Ren and Du Meridians!"
