Before Li Zhe finished his sentence, Xie An’s body suddenly flashed—he slapped Li Zhe’s face heavily.

The latter was startled, holding his head. His brain was dizzy.

When he came back to his senses, only to see Xie An standing right in front of him, looking down on him, “This slap was on behalf of grandmaster Li! If junior brother did less of these unscrupulous things, our Xuanyang Sect’s reputation would naturally be several times better.”

Li Zhe was first furious. Then, he thought about something, suppressing that rage. His fists tightly clenched, and his fingernails etched deeply into his skin.

“It is not like you don’t know what is happening within the sect. Our common people path looks safe but if we take a wrong step we would be in an irrecoverable spot. At this moment if our 3 sects and 6 schools don’t work together and cooperate, our sect will die. You are great, actually turning your focus on people from the same sect! If not for you being the only blood descendant of Senior master Li, I would be the first person to kill you! As for that Tanqiu, although he is young, he is talented. For the sect to have such a talent to support the sect is a fortunate matter. In the future don’t offend him...”

Li Zhe’s expression changed, in the end, he laughed, “I Li Zhe am foolish. I was at fault for the matter a few days ago. I schemed against him, but I failed. I plotted against him but was robbed by him so I wouldn’t say much. Only this person definitely shouldn’t have humiliated our Xuanyang Sect!”

Xie An was startled, his lips curling up, “Are your words true? What did he say?”

“Naturally it is true! I can swear on a heart demon.”

When he said that, Li Zhe’s eyes were calm, with nothing abnormal about his gaze, “He said that the skill of our Xuanyang Sect disciples was just so so...”

Xie An instantly frowned in disbelief. A moment later he waved his sleeves, “You can leave, I will verify this matter!”

When he said those words Xie An was startled once more as he suddenly reached out in the air, following which a message talisman fell into his hands.

When this talisman burnt into flames, Xie An’s eyes were filled with a doubtful look.

“...Helian Iron Mountain, Yan City Pass, Yuan Jiuchen, Tanqiu. Which is the one commanding him? A grade 6 disciple?”

“Why is it him?”

A handsome looking teen who was holding a message talisman which was burning, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

“Why is it not Xuanye, not Xie An and not me Luoshi but this Tanqiu?”

10 days later, the 1st Courtyard A within Zong Shou’s room.

Only hearing a series of cracking sounds of bones tearing apart and exploding. Zong Shou stood at the center of the 300 feet quiet room, his entire body was just muscled splitting, covered in blood. His 4 limbs were close to a twisted method as he continuously changed his stances.

One could see that beneath the surface of his skin there were a total of 12 flood dragon-like shadows which was swimming about along the meridian paths within his body.

Amongst which 2 of them were clashing all over like they could burst out of Zong Shou’s body at any moment.

However, always at the last moment, Zong Shou’s skin burst out a thin thread of blood, and his bones were also on the verge of totally breaking.

Zong Yuan and Ruoshui were looking on nervously at the side, they knew that this was the most crucial moment.

If he succeeded he would become a 6 meridian martial ancestor. If he failed then his body would suffer from heavy injuries.

Not only would his meridians be unable to recover in a short time, in the future if he wanted to advance and merge with spiritual veins it would be much harder.

However, Zong Shou was calm, casually doing these weird-looking actions.

What was weird was that although the blood in his body was boiling and surging about, his 9 meridians were on the verge of tearing.

However, every time he completed one weird stance, it would cause his body to be calm for a moment.

It also freed up more strength to suppress the 2 newly absorbed spiritual veins in the body.

As time went on, the cracking of bones became infrequent, and on the surface of his skin, the 2 dragon shadows which were smashing about seemed to be directed into the right path. His skin stopped tearing open and no more blood flowed out.

On the contrary ocean amounts of spiritual energy were gathering on their own, surging from all about and charging into Zong Shou’s body.

A strong aura suddenly charged out of his body.

Not only Chuxue found it hard to breathe, even Zong Yuan and Ruoshui felt like they were being suppressed.

It didn’t come from Zong Shou, from that indiscernible martial path intent. It was only because his true qi was so strong that it could compete with them. In terms of true qi continuation, it even exceeded them.

They couldn’t help but exchange glances with one another, but when the 2 of them thought about it they didn’t feel surprised.

At this moment Zong Shou’s body had already gathered up 12 spiritual veins, 3 more than normal people. The strength of his foundations was something that even the Xuanwu peak couldn’t compare to.

Unfortunately, he won with this dual meridians but lost also with it. On theory, he had the longest chakra meridians in history. Unfortunately, the conflict within consumed a portion of it. On the contrary, in terms of explosiveness, he was extremely strong. Who knows how long it would take for him to solve that problem.

Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, the energy within his body was extremely chaotic. The merging of the 6th pair of spiritual veins caused his true qi to crazily increase. The surging in large amounts of spiritual energy filled up all his chakra meridians.

After doing a series of energy leading technique stances, he was only able to calm it down but he was unable to deal with and calm down the energy within.

Frowning, Zong Shou decisively changed his actions and started the 6th set of energy leading techniques.

Although he had trained in this energy leading technique several times in the last life, this was the 1st time he had used this 6th set. He had to take a risk. If his energy continued to be so chaotic, riddling his chakra meridians with holes would be the light outcome. If worse the few spiritual veins that had merged into his body might have a chance to slip away.

Luckily with the experience of the last life, he was familiar with this series of actions. At the start, he was a little rusty but after completing it once he became smooth with it.

He even added in a series of modifications targetting his dual meridian body.

A full 2 hours later when that last thread of chaotic energy was suppressed by Zong Shou were the 9 chakra meridians dealt with appropriately.

“Success!”

He felt delighted. Zong Shou’s actions suddenly changed. It wasn’t those weird-looking stances from before but a really strong and intense first strike. It caused the air to shake.

Within a hundred feet, all the dust was dissipated by the wind from the fist. Numerous holes broken through the 4 walls.

Within 200 feet, the stone flooring on the ground were all broken into shreds.

“6 veins, martial ancestor peak!”

Zong Shou’s expression didn’t change. Then, he punched out with a fist. This time he used his strong martial intent to cause the true qi around his body to gather to an unbelievable level at that instance.

That layer of the barrier within his body was easily broken.

That fist was at the Xuanwu ancestor realm!

“Hong!”

When that fist struck out, the surrounding space around Zong Shou swelled up. Following which under a strong energy and energy wave, the 300 feet big sturdy stone room was crushed to pieces!

Within 2 thousand feet, sand and stones flying all about, wood and grass tearing into pieces.

Ruoshui and Zong Yuan moved aside all the broken stones without much consideration. Chuxue was behind the 2 of them and didn’t blink at all.

Anyways there was nothing within the stone room, it was built at a corner of the back courtyard. Zong Shou used a spiritual technique to create this stone building so it wasn’t too bad that it was destroyed.

Since that day that Zong Shou destroyed the entire 1st Courtyard A, Chuxue didn’t dare to place anything within Zong Shou’s cultivation room.

At this moment her eyes were filled with joy and also some worry. Zong Shou had broken through to the Xuanwu ancestor realm, totally tossing her aside.

She thought back to the 2 new spiritual pets that she accepted, his heart feeling heavy.

Zong Shou smiled, loosening the muscles and the bones within his body.

After he broke through, the injuries were mostly healed. However, his spiritual senses were sharp. He could feel that there were many small injuries all over his body. If one didn’t look close, it was tough to pick it up.

The true qi within his body seemed a little messy.

...As expected! Within such a short time, merging the 6th vein was too forced!

Frowning, Zong Shou didn’t have any bit of regret. To kill that Yuan Jiuchen he had to have grade 7 combat strength.

Although he had 2 extremely strong protector beasts, he, himself was the weakness. His sword technique had already reached the sword soul realm and he wasn’t afraid of those grade 7 experts.

However, to fully display his sword skills, then at least his body needed to be able to resist 20 strikes from a grade 7 expert and not collapse.

Only after breaking through to Xuanwu ancestor did he have 20% confidence for this matter!

To be able to merge this 6th pair of spiritual veins into his body was lucky.

Speaking of which the few experts that the sects had chosen should be annoyed...

Breaking out into a laugh, Zong Shou took out a ball of ice and fire smoke from his bag and took a heavy sniff, leading it into his body.

The moment it made contact with his true qi, it suddenly merged with it. Following which it formed an extremely sturdy shell that spread about on the surface layer of his body.

This was the inner armor that could merge into the body and allow the body to withstand more external forces.

What the sect gave him was not only grade 9 but it was also a rare elite product.

Following which numerous spare parts were pieced together by Zong Shou, it was another external bone.

when Zong Shou wore it, it turned into a layer of skin-like material that covered over his skin. After wearing his clothes one couldn’t tell at all.

This set of external bones wasn’t the lightning walking model but the steel pillar. There weren’t other special effects, the greatest use apart from providing close to a million kilograms of strength was to help take some pressure off from his bones and physical body.
