A continuous stream of spiritual power poured into the arrow formed on the longbow, and Gu Xiao's body also began to emit a faint blue spiritual light.
As soon as she entered, Gu Xiao had already transformed into her Fei Xiao state.
At this moment, the Fei Huang mark behind her also began to emit a blue light, and the surrounding wind elements started to gather towards the arrow.
Strands of wind elements spiraled around the arrow, and faintly, the majestic roar of a beast could be heard.
"Twang!"
When Gu Xiao released her right hand from the string, the bowstring vibrated like a clap of thunder.
The hurricane arrow transformed into a blue streak and shot towards the Cloud and Mist Monster wind ball. The arrow streaked across the sky, leaving a long blue trail in the air, finally pointing directly at a single bright spot.
In the distance, after Gu Xiao fired that arrow, the wind ball imprisoning numerous Cloud and Mist Monsters gradually began to dissipate.
As the restraint disappeared, the Cloud and Mist Monsters inside were about to scatter when a terrifying current of air suddenly struck.
The brilliant arrow, carrying terrifying wind pressure, once again forced the Cloud and Mist Monsters that wanted to leave back into the giant pit they had previously created.
"Boom!"
As the arrow landed, an extremely violent explosion sounded, accompanied by a massive blue explosion sphere of light.
The energy within was wild and domineering, causing even the ground to tremble.
Such a huge commotion from Gu Xiao's side naturally attracted many people's attention.
"What the hell, who brought a missile in here?"
Looking at the explosion sphere that suddenly appeared in the distance, many people were stunned.
Immediately after, those who had previously intended to explore in Gu Xiao's direction all changed course and left.
Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.
On this side, after dealing with hundreds of Cloud and Mist Monsters in one go, a massive amount of spiritual power slowly began to surge into Gu Xiao's body.
If it were peacetime, with such a large amount of spiritual power surging in at once, Gu Xiao's cultivation realm would definitely cause her meridians to burst and kill her.
But now, with the feedback from the Cloud and Mist Monsters, there was no such concern.
No wonder the major Noble Families have already approved research institutes to begin studying the reproducibility of Cloud and Mist Monsters.
"Hmm~"
As such a massive amount of spiritual power poured in, Gu Xiao felt a tingling sensation rush from the soles of her feet directly to the top of her head.
An extremely comfortable feeling spread throughout her body, which was rapidly filling up like a dehydrated sponge.
It was at this moment that Gu Xiao suddenly felt a slight swelling sensation in all her meridians.
She was about to break through.
Sensing the opportunity for a breakthrough, Gu Xiao clenched her right hand, and a huge axe-halberd appeared in her grasp.
"Bang!"
Gu Xiao inverted the axe-halberd, sticking it into the ground, then simply sat down cross-legged, directly commencing her breakthrough.
At the same time, Jing Yuan, who was still hunting Cloud and Mist Monsters in the forest, began to rush towards Gu Xiao's location.
Generally speaking, unless there was deep-seated hatred, no one would interfere with another person's breakthrough.
But now, since the two bodies were relatively close, being more prepared wasn't a bad thing.
Only after her male body arrived within a certain range of her female body, ensuring he could appear in time even if an emergency occurred, did the female body begin to mobilize spiritual power to impact her meridians.
The second meridian Gu Xiao intended to open was the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, which, after breakthrough, could enhance the body's vital blood energy and temper the strength of the bones.
After circulating the spiritual power within her body for one cycle, Gu Xiao began to guide the spiritual power from her chest, passing through the pericardium, down through the diaphragm, and connecting to the upper, middle, and lower burners.
The meridians before opening were extremely fragile, so Gu Xiao was not in a hurry, controlling the spiritual power to gradually widen the meridians little by little.
Each time a point was cleared, Gu Xiao would use spiritual power to nourish the surrounding meridians, increasing their strength.
After about a quarter of an hour, the entire meridian was finally completely cleared.
As soon as the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian was cleared, Gu Xiao felt a surge of vital essence rush in, merging into her blood.
Gu Xiao could clearly feel that the flow rate of all her blood began to accelerate, erupting with even more powerful vital blood energy.
As blood flowed through her vessels, Gu Xiao's vital blood was like mist rising from a river, permeating every corner of her body.
Feeling the continuous vital blood energy being generated within her body, Gu Xiao directed it towards all the bones in her body.
Immediately, a tingling sensation swept through all her bones, like countless ants crawling back and forth on her body, which was particularly uncomfortable.
And all of this, after the initial itching sensation passed, was a piercing pain.
If the initial feeling was just ants crawling up and down her body, now it was countless ants gnawing at her bones.
All the bones in her body first experienced unbearable itching, then a piercing pain; the feeling was indescribably 'refreshing'.
Especially the pubic bone area, perhaps because of its special location or because the bones there were inherently fragile, the sensation produced there was particularly obvious, causing Gu Xiao to frown deeply.
When the male body has to break through this meridian later, it probably won't be much better.
In the past, when watching marketing accounts, she used to joke that the degeneration of those bones was foolish.
Now that she thinks about it, it's quite accurate.
Otherwise, it would be a real pain in the ass later.
At the same time, as the vital blood energy surged endlessly within her body, Gu Xiao's skin began to take on a reddish hue.
And a faint white mist began to rise from Gu Xiao's body, like a boiling kettle.
Finally, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the changes within Gu Xiao's body finally concluded.
Exhaling, Gu Xiao stood up from the ground, stretched her limbs, and a comfortable feeling swept over her entire body.
This feeling was like being underwater for a long time, on the verge of suffocating, and then suddenly shooting out of the water to take a deep breath—a complete opposite to what she had just experienced.
Clenching her fists, Gu Xiao could clearly feel that her strength had once again increased.
Gu Xiao estimated that she could now lift tens of thousands of pounds without a problem.
Glancing at a large tree not far away, Gu Xiao took a step with her left foot, her body turning with her waist, and her right hand rose, fiercely clenching into a fist and punching out.
A wave of air exploded; Gu Xiao didn't use any spiritual power in this punch, but the sheer force contained within it directly caused the large tree not far away to explode.
After a brief test of her strength, Gu Xiao activated the wind element to wrap around her feet and sped off towards the direction of her male body, Jing Yuan.
Although Jing Yuan searched for Cloud and Mist Monsters by sensing electrical currents, it was still too slow compared to Gu Xiao.
Now that the female body, Gu Xiao, had just completed her breakthrough, her meridians were still in a swollen state and she couldn't immediately continue cultivating. It was a good time to first catch enough Cloud and Mist Monsters for the male body.
Then she would go check out the cultivation treasure lands in the ruins. According to information from her family, there were exactly two treasure lands in these ruins suitable for them.
One was the Startling Thunder Pool, and the other was the Raging Wind Cliff.
