Chapter 494 - 177: Advancement to Unity, Strange Reflection
’I think I get it now.’
Shen Bai opened his eyes, sensing the profound transformations within his body.
’Before, in the Meridian Realm, the goal was to cover all eight of my body’s meridians in gold. Each of those eight meridians represented one of the body’s eight greatest strengths.’
’After reaching the Unity Realm, you build bridges between these eight meridians. Once the bridges are in place, the eight meridians become interconnected. Each meridian could already produce immense power on its own, but when all eight are linked and unified, it triggers a transformation of transformations.’
’In the Unity Realm, your power doubles with each meridian you connect. Every new connection is a monumental leap in strength.’
This just went to show how difficult it was to achieve Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward.
However, with the Golden Finger Shen Bai possessed, he felt no pressure at all.
’So, what I need to do now is unify these eight meridians, using Qi to form and connect the bridges between them. Each bridge I open will raise me to a new level.’
Shen Bai rubbed his chin, now having a rough grasp of the Unity Realm.
Once he finished opening all the bridges, he would be able to break through to the Void Realm.
’Not bad at all. Now I can finally deal with the Hundred Truths Remains.’
Back in the Meridian Realm, it would have been difficult for Shen Bai to deal with the Hundred Truths Remains. But now that he had reached the Unity Realm, it would be much simpler.
’I’m getting a little hungry. I should eat first.’
Shen Bai stood up, opened the door, and ate all the delicious food Fang Tong had brought, which had been left just outside his room.
When he was finished, he casually placed the dishes on a table and went back into his room.
The room was perfectly silent. Amber remained hidden within his body, not making the slightest stir.
It wouldn’t emerge unless Shen Bai gave the word.
After a moment’s thought, Shen Bai raised his hand and began making intricate calculations with his fingers.
He activated his Divination Divine Power. Strands of light materialized before his eyes, continuously weaving through the void.
As the strands intertwined, Shen Bai began to divine the possibilities of destroying the Hundred Truths Remains, as well as the Fortune and Misfortune associated with it.
In just a few breaths, a vast golden light appeared before him, and one distinct possibility flowed into his mind.
Shen Bai closed his eyes to absorb all the Information. Only then did he open them again.
’I see. First, I’ll use the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Skill to neutralize the diseases on the Hundred Truths Remains that it can affect. As for the ones it can’t, I’ll just destroy them by force.’
It was an auspicious divination.
The result was pure gold with no gray, meaning the method was viable.
Shen Bai waved the threads away and began a new divination, this time concerning the great opportunity the Hundred Truths Remains was supposed to bring.
He had divined before that the Hundred Truths Remains would bring him a great opportunity. Now, he wanted to see if that opportunity would still exist if he destroyed it this way.
As Shen Bai completed his divination, a single strand appeared, and the Information within it flowed into him.
’The opportunity is still there. It seems my method is the right one.’
After absorbing the Information, Shen Bai waved his hand, dismissing the Divination Skill.
With the skill dismissed and the room empty, Shen Bai thought for a moment before casting the Life and Death Storage Skill.
A fissure appeared in the air, rapidly expanding.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Bai became a blur and vanished from the room.
The fissure vanished, and a moment later, the room was empty once more.
...
「Within the Fissure.」
The Space was already teeming with every imaginable disease.
Although they were invisible to the naked eye, Shen Bai possessed the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Skill. The moment he entered, he could sense the terrifying danger all around him.
The mere sensation was enough to make his hair stand on end.
If even one of the contagions here were to escape, it would be enough to kill a common person instantly.
’The Hundred Truths Remains is as formidable as they say. Its power is immense.’
The moment Shen Bai entered, the diseases swarmed toward him as if they had spotted an enemy.
The invisible diseases completely enveloped him. Shen Bai felt as if he were in an ocean of sickness, where a single step would cause him to be devoured.
’Time to test the effects of the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Skill.’
As he thought this, a gleam of green light ignited in his hand.
As the green light appeared, a feeling of vibrant life began to ripple through the Space.
Shen Bai flicked a finger, sending the green light down to the floor of the Life and Death Storage Skill’s Space.
It quickly spread like wildfire, covering everything in sight.
As the green light washed over them, the densely packed diseases began to melt away as if they were ice touched by fire.
In the blink of an eye, eighty percent of the diseases vanished without a trace.
The green light didn’t stop, swiftly enveloping the Hundred Truths Remains up ahead.
Once the green light enveloped the Hundred Truths Remains, the diseases clinging to it also began to disappear at a visible rate.
In a single breath, eighty percent of the diseases were gone.
But twenty percent remained. Even Shen Bai’s Level 6 Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Skill couldn’t eradicate them. They simply hovered over the Hundred Truths Remains, motionless.
If these diseases weren’t completely eliminated, they would quickly spread again from where they remained, restoring the Hundred Truths Remains to its original state.
As the old saying goes: Sickness comes like a landslide, but leaves like pulling thread from a cocoon.
The saying was fitting for the current scene.
After all, the diseases on the Hundred Truths Remains were far more virulent than any ordinary illness.
