Zhao Rong's brow furrowed as he glanced at the blanket in his hand, opening his mouth only to pause the next moment.
At last, he sensed what was different.
Zhao Rong's eyes snapped open, looking inward at his meridians, where the once dissipated Innate Primordial Qi, now flowed ceaselessly within, circulating the Minor Circulation on its own.
His mind shifted, as he operated the "Ant Ascending Heaven Technique," and the Innate Primordial Qi surged rapidly within his body. In the meridians like river channels, a red snake manifested again, and at this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit were the same as before he had attempted to breach the "Girdle Meridian," only no longer violent, and had recovered to their initial state.
Now, within his body, four out of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were penetrated. Among the remaining four meridians, the Girdle Meridian remained blocked due to the backlash of Spiritual Energy, but not as severely as at the beginning.
