971: Chapter 964: The Seclusion Occurring Once Every 200 Years 971: Chapter 964: The Seclusion Occurring Once Every 200 Years In the underground space.
The fist-sized crystals on the surrounding walls emitted a transparent glow, and Ouyang Ming, whose limbs were bound by chains, had a somewhat pale complexion.
His cloudy eyes were unwavertingly fixed on Ye Chenfeng, who lay before him.
At this moment, Ye Chenfeng, with his eyes tightly closed, had entered an extraordinarily mysterious state.
The True Energy Force infused by Ouyang Ming wrapped ceaselessly around the severed meridians throughout his body, giving him an immensely comfortable sense of enjoyment, akin to bathing in comforting sunlight.
But the pleasantness didn’t last long.
As the True Energy Force that had surged into Ye Chenfeng’s body enveloped all his meridians, the originally gentle True Energy Force suddenly turned fierce, wildly ravaging Ye Chenfeng’s severed meridians.
Ye Chenfeng was completely powerless to resist, and in an instant, the meridians within his body were even more severely damaged.
This abrupt turn of events caused Ye Chenfeng, with his eyes still closed, to tremble violently.
His face was filled with excruciating pain, and he clenched his teeth tightly, feeling his originally severed meridians being eroded by the True Energy Force, a kind of pain that ordinary people could hardly endure.
Initially, Ye Chenfeng thought Ouyang Ming intended to harm him, but then he reconsidered that with Ouyang Ming’s strength, he didn’t need to bother.
Thus, Ye Chenfeng focused his mind on enduring this trial.
Ouyang Ming, with his disheveled hair, watched the pained expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face and thought to himself, “It seems my True Energy Force is taking effect.
As the saying goes, the old must be broken before the new can stand.
This young man’s meridians have been completely severed.
Even if I used conventional methods to help him recover, it would likely leave significant aftereffects.”
“What I am doing now is to first further damage his meridians and then use my True Energy Force to stimulate the regeneration of his meridians.
In this way, all the meridians in his body can be reborn.
However, the process of restructuring the meridians is extremely painful.
I truly hope this young man can endure it; otherwise, a lifetime of my True Energy Force will have been wasted.”
Ye Chenfeng, with his eyes tightly closed, naturally had no idea of Ouyang Ming’s thoughts.
All he could do now was to rely solely on his willpower and persist as the True Energy Force continued to destroy his meridians.
About fifteen minutes later.
When Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness in his mind began to blur, he suddenly discovered that the True Energy Force had stopped destroying his meridians.
But as he puzzled over this in his mind, the True Energy Force suddenly burst forth with a rich vitality.
His body’s damaged meridians visibly started to regrow at an incredible rate under the life force of the True Energy Force, filling Ye Chenfeng with immense joy.
But Ye Chenfeng’s elation was short-lived as the growth rate of his body’s meridians accelerated.
His blood seemed to ignite entirely at that moment, as if it was about to incinerate his entire being.
Ouyang Ming, bound by chains at his limbs, noticed Ye Chenfeng’s complexion turn bright red and then return to its original color in an instant.
He silently nodded his head, knowing that Ye Chenfeng’s meridians must have been completely restructured by now, and next, it should be time to enter the stage of transforming his physical body.
Ye Chenfeng, with his eyes tightly shut, felt the meridians throughout his body had recovered.
Just as he wanted to check their resilience, the True Energy Force within him began to move again.
This time, it flowed around the bones throughout his body.
Before Ye Chenfeng could react, the True Energy Force drilled into every one of his bones and wreaked havoc inside them, almost causing him to faint from the intense pain.
Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng knew that the True Energy Force entering his bones must also serve another purpose.
Therefore, no matter how severe the pain was, he persistently clenched his teeth and endured.
About twenty minutes later,
When the True Energy Force drilled out from the bones in Ye Chenfeng’s body, it immediately infiltrated into the muscles throughout his entire body.
Although the sensation of pain was still exceptionally intense, having already endured the agonizing processes of remolding his meridians and strengthening his bones, Ye Chenfeng had become somewhat numb, and the pain wasn’t as severe as before.
Once the True Energy completely merged into Ye Chenfeng’s muscles, the power within him seemed to completely vanish.
Ye Chenfeng abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across his pupils.
He rose directly from the ground, feeling an even more vigorous vitality coursing through his veins.
His meridians had become more than twenty times as tough as before, and the hardness of his bones along with the strength of his body had also increased twentyfold.
If Ye Chenfeng were to enter a Berserk State again, it was unlikely that his meridians would snap as they had before, nor would his body be left in such a wretched state.
With his current physical strength, Ye Chenfeng truly deserved the title of a humanoid machine.
Feeling the changes within his body, Ye Chenfeng’s wounds had completely healed, and an extremely excited smile spread across his face.
He quickly looked towards Ouyang Ming again; seeing Ouyang Ming’s pale face and the life slowly slipping away from his body, Ye Chenfeng realized that Ouyang Ming had infused all his life’s cultivation into him.
Ouyang Ming was probably not long for this world, which explained why such a drastic transformation had occurred in his body—it was the help of the great Ouyang Ming, who was in the Initial Stage of transcendence, sacrificing his life.
“Senior Ouyang, you…”
This time, Ye Chenfeng sincerely addressed him as Senior Ouyang, but Ouyang Ming merely waved his hand and said, “Young man, you don’t need to carry any burden on your conscience.
The four chains that bind my limbs can only be undone by a Peak transcendence master.
I’ve been trapped here long enough; it’s better to pass it on to a young person like you.
And I should go underground to meet my unworthy brother.”
Ouyang Ming’s gaze fixed on Ye Chenfeng, and he continued, “Young man, I can see your limitless potential.
Now that your meridians and body have been transformed, I fear no one can stop your progress in the future.
Being able to pass on my life’s cultivation to you before I die, I will die without regrets.
Young man, what is your name?
Can you call me master?”
Having infused his entire cultivation into Ye Chenfeng, theoretically, Ouyang Ming was worthy of the title of master, so without any hesitation, Ye Chenfeng said, “Master, my name is Ye Chenfeng.”
“Good!
Good!
Good!” Ouyang Ming’s face blossomed with a smile upon hearing the word “master,” and said, “I had not expected, Ouyang Ming, to take on such an apprentice before my dying breath.
What a pity, I will not be able to see you soar to lofty heights.”
For a moment, Ye Chenfeng didn’t know what to say.
And when Ye Chenfeng fell silent, Ouyang Ming spoke again, “Chenfeng, I’m afraid you are now unable to return to the Ancient Martial World.
Every two hundred years, the Barrier closes once, and the key location for the closure of the Barrier’s gate is right here in this space.
There was originally just over ten days left before the Barrier’s closure, but it was probably because of your fight with my brother that the Barrier’s gate has already closed in advance.”
“Furthermore, our current location is beneath the Land of Trial, and the valley above has already collapsed.
With your current strength, it is impossible to break through the collapsed valley above in a short time, and there is no food or water supply here.”
After hearing Ouyang Ming’s words, Ye Chenfeng felt a sudden jolt of dread.
If there were no food or water, he would likely be trapped to death here.
Could it be that after just escaping the brink of death, he still couldn’t avoid being led into Ghost Gate Pass?
“However, Chenfeng, rest assured, even though you can’t return to the Ancient Martial World, I can send you directly to the Secular World,” said Ouyang Ming, his limbs still bound by chains.
