BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109: Chapter 99: The 4th Layer!
Seeing that the eighteen Golden Monkey Statues in the valley where Ye Chen was located shot out light from their eyes again, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact nodded.
"Not bad, this young man Ye Chen is indeed formidable!"
"The Creation Spiritual Liquid used to temper him is incredibly precious, only the most highly regarded talents in the \'Jindi Ancient Clan\' are allowed to use it. This kind of Creation Spiritual Liquid produces pain that surpasses the total pain of all other Spiritual Liquids combined, yet, he managed to cross it with such ease!"
"The others are still in the midst of the final flesh transformation, not yet having completely passed the first layer of trials, while Ye Chen has already taken the lead entering the second layer of trials!"
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact\'s gaze swept over the other realms in the central area of the Ancestral Land, where the thirteen other youths still engaged in the meridian transformation state of the first layer of trials in the Furnaces of Creation.
It was only after half an incense stick\'s worth of time had passed that Bai Xiaodie followed after Ye Chen, becoming the second to step into the new trial of "Tempering Meridians."
Much later, the other youths finally completed the first layer\'s flesh transformation.
However, when the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact looked towards Ye Chen once more, it was shocked to discover that, just after the remaining youths had all entered the second layer "Tempering Meridians," Ye Chen, who was the first to experience the second layer, had already triggered the third burst of light from the eighteen Golden Monkey Statues\' eyes.
He had already entered the third layer of trials!
"So fast!"
"How can one pass through the second layer of trials and complete the meridian transformation so quickly?!"
"The speed at which young Ye Chen passed the first layer was already unbelievable, but the time it took him to pass the second layer is even shorter than the first!"
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact\'s mouth hung open, almost unable to believe it.
What the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact didn\'t know was that Ye Chen had gone through the trial of Ten Thousand Flames Burning Body in the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, had experienced the boundless pain of his mind and spirit being scorched by those flames, and his Artistic Conception Strength had been tempered to an incredibly formidable level,
Because of that, he was the first to pass the trial of Tempering Flesh faster than anyone else.
Upon entering the second layer of the "Tempering Meridians" trial, Ye Chen immediately felt countless Golden Monkey Spirit Patterns rushing towards the meridians all over his body—they were evidently going to temper his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, to unblock them!
Meridians are even more fragile than flesh and are directly connected to the mind and spirit; tempering meridians is a hundred times more painful than tempering flesh.
Especially when tempering those blocked meridians, that pain becomes even more terrifying.
But what no one else knew was that Ye Chen had practiced the Primordial Star Scripture\'s "Meridian Refining Art," making his meridians unlike any others.
Where other people only had their Qi Meridian unblocked, and all other meridians blocked, therefore making the tempering of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians excruciatingly painful and extremely difficult,
Ye Chen had not just his Qi Meridian open, but his Eight Extraordinary Meridians were already unblocked.
Even all thirty-three circuits of his Meridian Wheel had been thoroughly unblocked during his practice of the "Meridian Refining Art," so the "Tempering Meridians" had no difficulty for him.
Tempering Meridians had some similarities with the refinement techniques of the Primordial Star Scripture\'s "Meridian Refining Art."
However, merely the tempering of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in this second layer of the trial in the Ancient Furnace of Creation, was clearly not as precious as the Primordial Star Scripture\'s "Meridian Refining Art" which refined the "Qi Meridian, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the thirty-three circuits,"
Ye Chen had fully completed even the "Meridian Refining Art," so naturally, the tempering of meridians posed no difficulty for him.
Even as the Golden Monkey Spirit Patterns roared and surged into his whole body\'s meridians, entering the Eight Extraordinary Meridians smoothly, they flew into Ye Chen\'s thirty-three circuits effortlessly, eventually creating a perfect Great Zhou Heavenly Cycle throughout his entire body\'s meridians!
In the end, they mixed with the Heaven and Earth True Qi and Gang Yuan True Qi gushing out from Ye Chen\'s Qi Sea, all rushing towards his Qi Sea Acupoint,
Directly propelling Ye Chen into the third layer trial of "Tempering Acupoints!"
"Tempering Flesh allows the flesh to undergo a transformation of strength, even capable of bursting forth with the ancient power of the Golden Monkey!"
"Tempering Meridians unblocks the extraordinary meridians throughout the body, greatly enhancing the speed of True Qi cultivation!"
"And Tempering Acupoints expands the area of the Qi Sea Acupoints, reshaping the Qi Sea space!"
"Ye Chen has now so quickly entered the third layer\'s trial of Tempering Acupoints, into the transformation that reshapes the Qi Sea space!"
"This speed is not a bit weaker than the unparalleled talents of the \'Jindi Ancient Clan\'!
To think that the Jindi Ancient Clan are people of an \'Ancient Clan,\' naturally stronger than ordinary humans like Ye Chen, it\'s truly unbelievable that this young man can match up to the genius members of an Ancient Clan!"
As the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact beheld Ye Chen entering the third Ancient Furnace of Creation trial amidst the frantic rumbling and turbulent Creation Spiritual Liquid, its enormous face was filled with shock.
"Collecting Golden Light Beads, Ye Chen created a miracle! With this Furnace of Creation trial, could he also create a miracle?!"
"He\'s still the champion of the three-clan grand competition, holding the Ancestral Blood; could it be that he really has a chance to touch the ultimate reward, the ultimate fortune?"
As the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact watched Ye Chen, completely submerged in the Creation Spiritual Liquid and fully engaged in the third layer trial of "Tempering Acupoints," its eyes were filled with anticipation.
While it watched Ye Chen, from another three valleys, agonizing screams of pain echoed, and then six youths were flung out of the Ancient Furnace of Creation.
