The sun shone brightly, the forest trees were dense, and under the gentle breeze, looking down from above, it resembled a green ocean.
"Boom!"
A golden bolt of lightning descended from the edge of the forest, and a massive golden saber shadow rose, striking down with immense power.
Near the edge of the forest, not far from Jing Yuan, was a large group of Cloud and Mist Monsters enveloped by a hurricane.
The golden lightning saber struck down, instantly reducing the Cloud Monsters and Mist Monsters to ashes beneath its terrifying saber glow.
At the same time, a large amount of Spiritual Qi surged towards Jing Yuan's body, and a swelling sensation arose within his Meridians.
Replenished by the Cloud and Mist Monsters, the Spiritual Power within Jing Yuan's body quickly became full, rapidly pushing towards the next Realm.
Sensing the changes within his body, Jing Yuan sat cross-legged and began mobilizing the Spiritual Power inside to open up his Meridians.
Unlike the plan of his female body, Gu Xiao, the second meridian Jing Yuan intended to open was the Zuyueyin Liver Meridian.
After breaking through, his eyesight would be enhanced, allowing him to see clearly in the dark. Once it achieved a certain effect of Dispelling Illusions, ordinary Illusion Techniques and Charm Techniques from Foreign Races would no longer affect Jing Yuan.
Similar to when Gu Xiao broke through previously, Jing Yuan first mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body to complete a Major Circulation Cycle, and then guided the Spiritual Power to the Dadun Acupoint on the back of his big toe, moving upward along the inner side of his foot.
As the entire meridian was opened, Jing Yuan could feel a burst of energy originating from his eyes, nourishing his sight.
Compared to the itching and pain in all the bones of his female body, Gu Xiao, at the time of her breakthrough, he now only felt a warm current gathering in his eyes.
As time passed, Jing Yuan felt this warm current begin to cool down, eventually becoming icy, and gathering towards his glabella.
About five minutes later, Jing Yuan opened his eyes. Two streaks of golden light shot out from his eyes, which flickered with brilliant thunderous light.
Simultaneously, threads of thunderous light wrapped around Jing Yuan, making him look like the descent of the Thunder God, unconsciously radiating an imposing aura.
Standing up from the ground, Jing Yuan blinked, and two golden electric beams shot out from his eyes, shattering a large bluestone not far away. The power was decent.
In future battles, he could launch a surprise attack, using his Electric Eyes to intimidate others.
This could be considered the minor Divine Ability gained after breaking through the Zuyueyin Liver Meridian. The Divine Abilities gained by different Professionals after breaking through vary greatly.
After Jing Yuan broke through, the two bodies separated again, heading towards Cultivation Blessed Lands suitable for each of them.
After the various Noble Families entered the Ruins, they naturally mapped out the area. While ordinary Professionals were still relying on luck, they had already advanced toward places containing treasures.
After walking for about ten minutes, a cluster of buildings entered Jing Yuan's field of vision.
Judging by its scale, this should be a small town. In the past, these small towns were usually located near all Major Sects.
Those who lived there were mostly relatives of the Sect Disciples. Of course, some merchants would also come here to open shops.
After all, every time the Mountain Gate recruited Disciples, this place would become crowded, allowing them to earn a fortune.
Furthermore, even during normal times, the spending power of Professionals was much higher than that of ordinary people, making it a profitable business.
However, with the passage of time, the once bustling and prosperous town was left only with desolation.
The asphalt road surface was covered with cracks of varying depths, wild grass sprouted from the crevices, and the surrounding houses were overgrown with green plants.
The window glass was broken, and green vines had grown directly into the rooms.
The vehicles on the street were rusty and covered in dust, green plants, and spider webs.
These vehicles were not Hovercars; upon closer inspection, they could be identified as very old-fashioned Fuel-Powered Cars, lacking even flight capabilities. Judging by this, they were thousands of years old.
Jing Yuan walked toward the depths of the town. The buildings here were somewhat dilapidated, many having already collapsed. He turned to look at a building that appeared to be a supermarket.
The glass entrance door was shattered on the ground, and the shelves inside were overturned. The items scattered everywhere were all "Antiques."
Judging by the degree of destruction to the buildings here, a battle must have broken out in this location previously.
Back then, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect who had turned into Cloud and Mist gradually lost their minds, leading to many riots within the Sect.
Just as Jing Yuan was planning to pass through the town and continue toward his destination, he suddenly heard sounds of fighting coming from nearby.
His eyesight after the breakthrough had improved by more than one level compared to before. Jing Yuan saw the people fighting through the hazy glass.
One of them was Lu Li.
Lu Li was currently being besieged by three people, but she still held the upper hand, overwhelming the three opponents with her Twin Swords.
However, Jing Yuan also detected the Aura of another person nearby.
"Scholar Rank Peak?"
After clearly discerning that person's Cultivation Level, a flash of golden lightning shone, and Jing Yuan's figure vanished from the spot.
On a building completely covered by vegetation, a young man wearing a grey jacket stood with his arms crossed, watching the battle below.
"Brother, are you with those three people down there?"
Just as he was carefully observing the fight below, ready to intervene if his three friends proved unable to cope, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Yes, they are my friends. They just broke through a realm and are looking for someone to test their strength against."
Perhaps he was too focused on the fight below, the young man subconsciously answered Jing Yuan's question.
Only after speaking did he realize something was wrong. He quickly turned his head and saw Jing Yuan looking at him with a smiling face.
His heart instantly jumped in surprise. When did this person get next to him? He hadn't noticed any movement at all.
When he tried to observe Jing Yuan's Cultivation Level, he couldn't see through it, which meant Jing Yuan's cultivation was higher than his own.
While the young man was still in shock, Jing Yuan pointed toward Lu Li, who was being besieged but was still overwhelming the three opponents.
"What a coincidence, I'm with her."
Seeing the direction Jing Yuan was pointing, the young man's pupils contracted sharply. A surge of powerful Spiritual Power instantly erupted from his body, causing his jacket to flutter wildly due to the swelling power.
"Uh..."
Just as he was about to make a move, a feeling of electric shock suddenly struck him, followed by a sensation of numbness throughout his body. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
"Youth is great; they just drop off to sleep."
Supporting the young man who was collapsing toward him, Jing Yuan said with a smile.
The battlefield below.
"Bang."
The Girl among the three people besieging Lu Li was kicked in the stomach by Lu Li, sending her flying backward.
The glass door of a clothing store on the street was shattered upon impact, accompanied by a cloud of dust that was extremely choking.
