There was a limit to the human body. When something reached the limit of what it could bear, it would lead to serious consequences such as a complete collapse of the body.
However, at the same time, the potential of the human body was almost limitless. Those who regularly exercised knew that when people exercised, it was very easy for the body to reach its limit. At that time, the body would be abnormally tired and weak. However, after persevering for a while and surpassing this limit, the body would feel as if all of its energy and strength had suddenly returned. This was an example of a person's potential exploding and surpassing the limit.
At that moment, I was in the same situation. The endless shaman energy in the surroundings had completely buried me and was crazily gathering in my Meridian of the Heavens. I had used almost all of my strength to prevent the Meridian of the Heavens from collapsing. However, the surrounding weapons were much stronger than me. Just as I felt the Meridian of the Heavens crack inch by inch and I couldn't bear it anymore, the shaman energy that had squeezed into the Meridian of the Heavens suddenly shrunk a lot, as though it had instantly disappeared. The pressure that the Meridian of the Heavens had to bear decreased until I couldn't feel it at all.
I was stunned by the sudden situation. After a few seconds, I came back to my senses. The shaman energy didn't disappear, but when it reached the bottom of the Vein of Heaven, it merged with the enormous shaman energy source stone formed by the Seven Stars of Knowledge.
The Sorcerer Qi disappeared, but the Sorcerer Qi Source Stone grew larger.
The Shaman Aura Source Stone is the source of the Shaman Aura in my body. After it is enlarged, it is equivalent to completely absorbing the Shaman Aura from the outside world and turning it into power that I can use in the future.
In other words, a part of the Sorcerer Qi had been completely absorbed by the nest.
Before I could rejoice, the Meridian of the Sky, which had just become empty, was once again filled with a large amount of shaman energy. The speed at which the shaman energy surged into the Meridian of the Sky was much faster than the speed at which the Shaman Qi Source Stone was absorbing the shaman energy. Hence, the pain from before replayed in my Meridian of the Sky over and over again. The Shaman Qi Source Stone grew bigger and bigger until it occupied half of the bottom of my Meridian of the Sky.
Originally, the Shaman Qi Source Stone didn't even occupy one percent of the space at the bottom of the Vein of Heaven. Now, it's dozens of times bigger than before. Especially with the existence of the Dao Qi Source Stone in the Vein of Heaven, the changes are even more obvious.
The volume of a Shaman Energy Source Stone is directly proportional to its power. In other words, the Shaman Energy in my body is tens of times stronger than before.
Previously, my Shaman Qi cultivation was already at Glorious Memory Great Perfection. Now, I have the power of dozens of Glorious Memory Great Perfection gathered on me.
However, I can clearly feel that I haven't reached the Heavenly Master Realm yet.
The most obvious sign of the Celestial Master Realm was to condense the Celestial Master Seal.
Of course, the Celestial Master Seal is only something that appears when the Taoist Qi condenses into a Celestial Master. I'm not sure if this thing will appear when the Witchcraft Qi condenses into a Celestial Master.
Apart from that, becoming a Celestial Master was a process of being reborn. Although there was only a step between Glory of Knowledge Great Perfection and Celestial Master, Glory of Knowledge was ultimately still a mortal, while Celestial Master was already close to being a half immortal.
Therefore, in the process of becoming a Celestial Master, regardless of whether the Celestial Master Seal has been condensed or not, one will have a feeling in the unseen world. However, I don't feel anything at this moment.
After absorbing power that was ten times that of a perfect state of Glorious Consciousness, I still hadn't reached the level of a Celestial Master. This wasn't scary. There was a natural chasm between an Earthly Master and a Celestial Master. No matter how difficult it was, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. However, what was scary was that even though I had absorbed so much Shaman Qi, the Shaman Qi surrounding me didn't seem to decrease at all. It still enveloped me in an overwhelming manner.
It was true that humans could stimulate their potential to fight against their limits, but there was a limit to everything. One's potential was almost limitless, but it was not limitless.
However, I didn't have any other choice. I could only bite the bullet and continue.
Very quickly, the Shaman Qi Source Stone continued to grow in size. From occupying half of the bottom of the Vein of Heaven to occupying more than half, it almost filled the entire bottom of the Vein of Heaven!
At this moment, I finally had a feeling. It was as though a voice had suddenly appeared in the space in front of me, calling for me to walk over.
I didn't move, but I slowly closed my eyes.
When my eyes were completely closed, there wasn't any darkness in front of me. Instead, it was clear as though I was standing in the clouds.
Thick white mist spread under my feet, and the warm sun shone on everything. At the end of the clouds in the distance, there was a huge door that shone with golden light.
The voice that was calling for me seemed to have come from that door.
I didn't hesitate at all. I lifted my feet and stepped on the mist, quickly arriving before the huge door.
As long as I pushed open this door, I would become a Celestial Master. I would be reborn and transcend the mortal world!
At this moment, my body was filled with limitless power. Although the huge door in front of me was huge, I had a feeling that it couldn't stop me. As long as I wanted to, the door would definitely be pushed open!
With endless confidence, I walked forward, raised my hands, and pressed them on the huge door.
Just as I had imagined, there was a resistance from the huge door. The resistance was really strong, but compared to the huge power that filled my body, it was nothing. I just used a little bit of strength, and the huge door in front of me had a slit!
The door was moving!
I was ecstatic. Every cultivator had a dream of becoming a Celestial Master. My dream of becoming a Celestial Master was about to come true!
Just as I gathered all the strength in my body and prepared to push the door open, I suddenly felt my chest and back heat up. Then, two shadows shot up into the sky. One was silver-black, and it came out from my chest. The other was dark green, and it appeared from my back.
I lowered my head to look, and my expression changed drastically.
One of the shadows was a Qilin, and the other was a black dragon. They were the two Miaojiang venomous insects that I had planted in my body!
Yang Shilong had told me that these two venomous insects were the ancestral venomous insects of Miaojiang. Once they were planted, they would take root in the heart. Usually, they would live in harmony with each other until the person with the venomous insects reached the Celestial Master realm. Then, the venomous insects would fall off the host's body and be retrieved by the person who planted the venomous insects.
When the host died, their cultivation would be taken away by the venomous insects. The person who planted the venomous insects could use the venomous insects to obtain all the host's power!
When Yang Shilong had told me this, I had only thought that it was a fantasy. It was still uncertain whether I could become a Celestial Master in this life, so I didn't care. However, I had never thought that in just a few years, I would reach this step.
After realizing this problem, my restless heart completely calmed down, and my heart wavered.
Was the ancestral venomous insects of Miaojiang really that powerful?
If I pushed open the door today and became a Celestial Master, would I really die, and my cultivation would be taken away by the venomous insects?
I was hesitant, but after thinking for a long time, I didn't dare to take that step.
One had to be cautious when cultivating.
Along the way, I had suffered countless hardships, spent countless efforts, and experienced countless life and death situations. I had gone through so many hardships to reach this step, so how could I be careless?
Thinking to this point, I took a deep breath. My hands left the huge door, and I simply turned around to leave.
Just as I left the huge door, the scenery in front of me changed dramatically. The thick white mist under my feet disappeared, and the warm sun in my surroundings also disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes, and in front of me was still the ruins of the Corpse Sect.
My body was still surrounded by countless amounts of shaman energy, but it didn't forcefully enter my body like before. Although I didn't push open the door, I could feel that I was only one step away from the Celestial Master realm. As long as I wanted to, I could step over that boundary at any time and become a Celestial Master.
My cultivation was infinitely close to becoming a Celestial Master, so the shaman energy couldn't cause me any more confusion. I took a deep breath and stood up.
Seeing me stand up, the evil sacrificial spirit that wasn't far from me immediately looked at me. After examining me for a moment, his eyes became doubtful.
He opened his mouth and asked, "You … Why didn't you become a Celestial Master?"
The evil sacrificial spirit's cultivation was astonishing. Perhaps he could give me an answer about the Ancestral Venomous Insect in Miaojiang, but now wasn't a good time to ask about it.
After absorbing the shaman energy from the giant corpse, I could feel that the vitality of the giant corpse behind me was rapidly diminishing. It wouldn't be long before he died.
Before he died, I had a question in my heart that I wanted to get an answer from him.
I shook my head at the evil sacrificial spirit, signaling him to calm down. Then, I turned to look at the giant corpse in front of me and asked him in a deep voice, "Do you know how many living Tai Sui there are in this world?"
The Tai Sui was the source of shaman energy. Even if I entered the Celestial Master realm, if I wanted to cultivate in the future, I could only obtain power from the Tai Sui. That was why I had to ask this clearly.
The giant corpse's reaction had become very slow. He slowly lowered his head to look at me. After a few seconds of silence, he weakly smiled and said, "Living Tai Sui?
My Tai Sui clan is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. It has long been annihilated. How could there be a living Tai Sui?
Even I am just struggling at death's door. I can't be considered alive … There are no living Tai Sui in this world! "
"Impossible!"
I didn't know about the others, but Xiao Jin was a living example. How could there not be a living Tai Sui?
I kept silent for a while then continued, "I have seen a living Tai Sui."
The giant corpse's voice became weaker. He slowly shook his head and said, "There is no living Tai Sui. Even if I have been struggling at death's door until now, as soon as I see the sun, the Heavenly Dao won't tolerate me. I will be killed immediately … If the Heavenly Dao doesn't tolerate me, how could I live? Even if you have seen a living Tai Sui, I'm afraid he is dead now.
Haha … It's time for my Tai Sui clan to die of old age. "
My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't help but recall Xiao Jin.
Why did he leave me all of a sudden?
If what the giant corpse said was true, then wouldn't Xiao Jin be …
While my mind was in a mess, the giant corpse in front of me couldn't stand it anymore. His big eyes slowly closed, and his mountain-like body slowly fell into the pile of corpses.
