Although the geomantic formation here cannot be considered extremely ominous, because it contains the fire evil, if the descendants of those buried here have a birth chart with a dominant water element, the clash between water and fire will lead to miserable lives for their offspring, full of hardships and wandering.
Breaking this formation wasn’t difficult; the most direct method was to cleanse the fire evil within the geomantic formation.
As the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak continued to absorb, the Feng Shui aura of this place became turbulent from chaos.
The Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak started to tremble, and the black light it emitted begins to weaken.
Leo furrowed his brow; this geomantic formation was unexpectedly attempting to obstruct the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak from absorbing the fire evil.
With a thought, Leo summons the Divine Dragon Sword, and Spiritual Power within him flows into the sword as he grips its hilt tightly and plunges it into the ground.
Spiritual Power surged through the Divine Dragon Sword into the depths of the earth, calming the turbulent Feng Shui aura. The gloomy sky cleared up, and gentle sunlight once again shone down.
As time passed, the fire evil within the formation was completely absorbed by the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
Just then, an electronic female voice chimed in, “Congratulations, mission accomplished. You will receive a reward!”
As the voice faded, the scenery around Leo suddenly changes. The mountain disappeared, the surrounding hills vanished, and the sun was replaced by a crimson mist.
When Leo snapped out of his daze, he found himself in a massive furnace.
The flames in the furnace soar, yet there was no discernible heat.
At the four corners of the furnace, there stood four golden jade scepters.
On the surface of each scepter, there was a golden rune, each different from the other, faintly visible within the furnace.
Evidently, the four scepters form an array, creating a formation within the furnace.
Leo, within the furnace, looked at everything before him without fear, only curiosity. He wondered why it had to be so mystical. What exactly is this so-called reward?
The flames gradually turned blue, somewhat resembling the Spiritual Fire produced by Spirit Talismans.
As the flames completely turned blue, the scorching temperature emerged within the furnace.
Initially bearable, the temperature rose progressively. When the heat becomes unbearable and his skin started to burn, Leo began to curse.
He hastily channeled Spiritual Power to protect himself, but his Spiritual Power was unable to block the heat.
Feeling the temperature continuing to rise, Leo moved, the Divine Dragon Sword appearing in his hand, ready to forcefully break the furnace. He couldn’t possibly be roasted alive.
Just as Leo is about to exert all his Spiritual Power to swing the Divine Dragon Sword and break the furnace, a giant talisman suddenly appears above his head. The golden light emitted by the talisman even overwhelms the blue flames.
The gigantic talisman ignited, and golden light spots scattered like golden snowflakes.
The golden light spotted fall onto Leo, but instead of bringing comfort, they induced excruciating pain.
This pain is peculiar, not just surface-level but originating from within.
The source of pain was his dantian, spreading to every part of his body, every cell.
Every inch of Leo’s muscles trembled, as if subjected to a high-voltage shock. Even the Divine Dragon Sword in his hand slips and fell to the ground.
The pain intensified, rendering Leo unable to think or control his body.
If it weren’t for his Spiritual Power forcefully resisting, he wouldn’t be able to retain even a trace of consciousness.
In Elizabeth’s office, besides Elizabeth herself, two other figures stood: Abel and Beau.
In front of the trio is a device resembling a medical bed, with Leo lying on it. He wore a half-faced helmet with numerous wires extending from it, connecting to a nearby computer.
“Are you sure you want to inject it?” Seeing Leo twitching occasionally, Elizabeth’s expression turned serious as she asked.
Beau nodded, “Inject all the remaining three vials of red liquid. He can endure it.”
“Mr. Steele, is the legend of the apocalypse true?” Elizabeth asked again, her tone tinged with nervousness.
“The authenticity cannot be verified, but it’s always better to be prepared for some things. Leo carries a hope within him,” Beau replied.
Elizabeth refrained from further inquiries and takes the injection gun nearby.
The upper part of the injection gun held three vials of red liquid.
Elizabeth inserted the needle into Leo’s left arm vein and began to administer the red liquid…
Above the furnace, a red rain began to fall. Strangely, the red raindrops only fell on Leo’s body, quickly drenching his clothes.
In no time, Leo seemed to have turned into a figure of blood, appearing somewhat terrifying.
However, this state of being didn’t last long. Soon, the blood-red color on Leo’s body vanished, as if absorbed into his body.
The blue flames in the furnace turned red, and the temperature ceased to rise.
The sensation of pain on Leo’s body stopped increasing, replaced by a strange feeling.
This feeling was difficult to describe, as if something was desperately burrowing into his body.
A sensation of tingling, itching, and pain began to torment Leo’s nerves.
But this sensation didn’t last long; it disappeared in just a few breaths’ time.
A powerful energy fluctuation occurred within the furnace, causing it to shake.
Leo sensed that some kind of energy seemed to have entered his body, moving about inside him.
While the pain on his body disappeared, the changes within his body startled Leo, prompting him to sit cross-legged on the ground in a meditative posture.
This unusual energy first entered his dantian and then spread into his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
They were different from the Twelve Regular Meridians, neither directly connected to the organs nor having an exterior-interior relationship. Their pathways were unique, thus termed “extraordinary meridians.”
In martial arts and fantasy novels, there often appeared a plot where someone became an unparalleled expert after opening the meridians. This was not just fabricated by authors but had a basis in reality.
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians crisscrossed between the Twelve Regular Meridians, linking them together.
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians connected meridians with similar functions and locations, coordinating the circulation of Chi power and blood and harmonizing yin and yang.
