The villain is right beside me

Mu Qing dived into the water and soon sank. He gathered his spiritual energy into his eyes and saw that the water below was pitch black and seemed very turbid.

Mu Qing continued to go downstream, ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters...

Finally, more than 500 meters below, Mu Qing felt a warmth, a warmth that did not belong to the bottom of the water.

"There really is magma underneath..."

Mu Qing did not dare to be careless. Not to mention his current level of cultivation, even an ordinary person with perfect enlightenment would not dare to go deep into the magma.

The surrounding water began to turn from light to red. As I swam deeper, the red turned into purple, and the temperature rose even higher, completely exceeding the human body surface temperature.

Mu Qing began to circulate his meridians. In the Five Saints Great Divine Art, water can overcome fire, but fire can also overcome water. Mu Qing practiced in the Yinxuan Cave and absorbed so much cold air that the heat here was like a sauna to him.

Mu Qing had already gone who knows how deep, the water around him had turned dark purple, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and now Lao Wang said.

"Take off your clothes and go a little lower until your body can't bear it anymore."

Mu Qing cursed inwardly, revealing his broad shoulders and going deeper. The temperature around him was already as high as boiling water and his skin began to turn red. Was they cooking meat?

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so Lao Wang let him practice here, enduring the scorching heat and practicing the Heart Sutra.

There are only 9 acupoints in the Heart Meridian, 18 on the left and right. The Heart Meridian starts from Zhongchong, flows through Laogong, is injected into Daling, runs through Jianshi, and enters Quze. It is the Shaoyin Meridian of the Hand.

The heart is the king who controls life and death. Because the heart has two chambers, the heart is also divided into heart yin and heart yang, just like the kidneys have kidney yin and kidney yang.

As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible, but the heart circulates blood, and the blood is filled with vitality in the process of circulation. Blood can produce essence, and when the essence is abundant, the kidneys will also be energetic.

The purpose of practicing the Shaoyin Meridian of the Hand is to strengthen the blood circulation. Blood is the source of the human body. If the blood is strong, the Qi will also be strong, and the person will be stronger and live longer.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night. The sky darkened and the bright moon hung high in the sky. However, the moon this night was very different from usual ones. Its color was noticeably redder. At first glance, it looked like a blood moon in the sky.

This strange phenomenon seemed to turn into a weird aura that enveloped the earth, especially near the mountains. The sounds of birds and beasts almost disappeared, even the faint hisses stopped abruptly, as if they dared not make a sound.

As the sky grew darker, the color of the moon became brighter and brighter red. In the end, the whole sky seemed to have turned red.

"Blood Moon, it is indeed the time. I calculated it correctly."

The old man in gray was very excited, but Si Minghai and the other two looked a little shaken, and the big man with the black face even held his breath.

At this moment, faint roars were heard from the valley. The roars became stronger and stronger as time passed, and finally, they could be heard outside the valley.

The roar seemed to carry endless resentment, and it made people tremble in their hearts and minds, as if their souls were being shaken.

The roars echoed through heaven and earth, as if reflecting the blood moon in the sky, making the entire valley shrouded in a strange mystery.

"This... this sound..." Si Minghai felt creepy. He had only heard about it but had never seen it. In this valley, there was a kind of creature that looked like a monster but not an animal. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them monsters.

They are called eclipses.

Finally, the blood moon in the sky turned blood red, and a buzzing sound immediately echoed in the valley, mixed with a large number of wings flapping sounds, which merged together to form a terrifying sound of death!

But then black shadows suddenly emerged from the valley, and bursts of sharp roars echoed through the world. Those black shadows were actually palm-sized creatures with wings, limbs, and blood-red eyes. Their bodies were faces, and their expressions revealed the look of madness and bloodthirstiness of strange beasts.

Densely packed and overwhelming, there were no less than tens of thousands of these monsters, covering the sky and the earth. With sharp roars, they rushed in all directions, rushing towards all places where wild beasts existed.

They are mindless, full of resentment, and extremely bloodthirsty. They only know how to kill cruelly and devour blood.

In the mountains, waves of terrified screams echoed. Si Minghai's face was pale, and even the old man in gray had no blood on his face.

"Open!" The old man in gray made a hand gesture and cast a series of spells on the umbrella. Suddenly, an invisible light bloomed on the umbrella, and several runes appeared. The entire umbrella enveloped the three of them.

The monsters seemed not to see them and flew over their heads as if there was no one where they were standing.

"The sky-shading umbrella is indeed effective." The gray-clothed old man looked at the overwhelming eclipse, took a breath with lingering fear, and said, "Let's go."

The two men plucked up their courage and actually followed the old man into the valley and into the eroded territory!

Mu Qing had no idea what was happening outside at this moment.

The sharp hissing sounds replaced all other sounds in the world at this moment and became the only sound on this blood moon night.

The monsters had no time to escape. Their bodies were covered with corrosion and pierced by countless sharp teeth. They instantly became dried corpses, and their blood and lives were devoured by the corrosion.

All that was left were those skinny mummies that fell to the ground with a thud. They would twitch a few times before dying.

In the spring water, Mu Qing slowly swam down, and the 108 pairs of acupoints on his body flickered with a faint light.

When a cultivator in the awakening stage fights, the acupoints on his body will burst out with this kind of light. In this way, the enemy can easily see your specific level of cultivation.

The 216 acupuncture points opened by Mu Qing just showed that he was a cultivator at the third level of enlightenment. Only the fifth level of enlightenment was the early stage. The further you go, the more difficult it is to open your mind.

At this moment, on the tip of his middle finger, the 217th acupuncture point was flickering slightly and finally taking shape.

There are twelve meridians distributed on both sides of the human body, except that the Ren, Du and Chong meridians have only one, while the Wei meridian and Qiao meridian have two each. Therefore, there are 36 meridians in total in the human body, and there are twenty levels of the opening realm. This is because many people enter the building platform realm after opening twenty meridians, which has no effect. There are a total of 362 acupoints in these twenty meridians.

However, if all 36 meridians are fully opened, there will be 671 acupoints (only one each for Ren and Du), and the combat power that is about to burst out will increase by more than several times! If you are entering the stage of building a platform at this moment, then in the early stage of building a platform, your foundation will skyrocket.

However, later studies have found that there are some acupuncture points on the human body that are not on any meridian. The human body has a total of 721 acupuncture points, but since ancient times, those who can open all the acupuncture points in the human body are rare. The main reason is that it is too difficult to open acupuncture points that are not on the meridians. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven. This can no longer be done by any external elixir, but requires a certain opportunity.

It seems that Mu Qing has only reached the third level of enlightenment, but the foot Shaoyin meridian, foot Taiyang meridian and foot Jueyin meridian that he cultivates are all two meridians that are opened at the same time. In fact, when his fighting power is unleashed, it should be comparable to the strength of a person in the middle stage of enlightenment.

It is precisely because when the 36 meridians and acupoints are fully opened, the combat power of the awakening realm will be completely unleashed, which will be enough to crush all the awakening realms, and even reach the strength comparable to that of ordinary early stage building realms.

Such combat power will be called invincible in the same realm.

Even though combat effectiveness has to take various factors into consideration, such as the profound mastery of spells and the powerful power of treasures, after all, the means that cultivators can use in the early stages are relatively few. Even if one is invincible in the Awakening Realm, it does not mean that one is in the Platform Building Realm.

With each higher realm, the combat power is absolutely unique, just like the feeling when Mu Qing first met the headmaster of Piaomiao Sect, as if he could kill an ant with ease.

During his practice, Mu Qing discovered that it was indeed difficult to open the same acupoint on a pair of meridians at the same time, but after opening one acupoint, it would be much easier to open the same acupoint on the opposite side.

As Mu Qing's body dives deeper, the boiling water around him seems to be burning. At this time, it can be found that the blood vessels all over his body have turned red, and are becoming more and more exposed and protruding, as if they are about to explode.

The heart is the veins in the body, the liver is the tendons in the body, the liver wood can generate heart fire, and Mu Qing wants to use the fire to burn the blood, and use the blood to burn the tendons and veins throughout the body.

Because the kidneys are bones in the body, the kidney essence combines with blood to produce marrow, and the marrow nourishes blood and bones. Under this mutual transformation, Mu Qing's body has been further trained.

When Mu Qing opened the Jiquan acupoint, at that moment, even the Foot Shaoyang Meridian began to loosen, and the Yangbai acupoint on the eyelid seemed to be beating.

This is because the liver can store blood, and the blood stored in the body flows through the heart to the outer canthus of the eye. The liver corresponds to the eye among the five senses. The eyes are clear and bright, and the qi reaches around the brain. Under the flushing of qi and blood, the bottleneck of the foot Shaoyang meridian begins to be touched.

Mu Qing suddenly realized that the human body is closely related to the natural world, because there is a strong fire energy here, accompanied by water energy, water produces wood, wood produces fire, water and fire suppress each other, all these signs have made his cultivation progress a lot.

At this moment, he could finally see the bottom.

There is not magma underneath, but solidified rock. However, the entire rock is red and looks more like a heart covered with various blood vessels.

Mu Qing stood on it with both feet. The intense temperature burned his shoes, but his body was not affected at all. He even felt that the warmth was comfortable when he stepped on it.

There is water, fire, and earth here.

Mu Qing has made up his mind. He will practice here for a while until his Taiyin meridian of the foot is opened and his spleen is successfully cultivated!
