Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 237 Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian

The enormous black rift in the sky resembled the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, emanating a chilling aura of evil. Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. However, just when everyone thought a catastrophe was about to befall them, the black rift slowly closed, leaving only an eerie darkness in the sky, as if foreshadowing an even greater crisis to come.

Jasmine took a deep breath, suppressing her unease, and turned to look at her disciples with a firm expression: "Students, no matter what awaits us ahead, we must not slacken our current practice. Next, we will begin the practice of the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian."

She composed herself and began to explain: "The Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang is the longest meridian in the human body. It originates at the Jingming acupoint on the head, descends along the back, runs through the entire body, and ends at the Zhiyin acupoint on the foot. In the human body, the bladder is responsible for excretion and qi transformation. This meridian is like the circulatory force in the universe, maintaining the body's metabolism, expelling waste from the body, and simultaneously transforming fluids to provide the body with necessary energy. Whether it is unobstructed or not is directly related to our health and the foundation of our spiritual practice."

The disciples sat around Jasmine, listening intently and occasionally asking questions to discuss with her. As Yichen listened, he gestured the pathways of the meridians on his arms and back, muttering, "Starting from the Jingming acupoint, passing through Zanzhu, Meichong..." Mengli closed her eyes and meditated, trying to feel the energy flow of the Bladder Meridian within her body, her expression focused and devout.

Watching all this from the shadows, Zi Ling's resentment grew wildly like weeds. Her conspiracy had been exposed, and she had lost all face; her hatred for Jasmine and her disciples had reached its peak. "Jasmine, you've humiliated me so much, I'll make you pay!" Zi Ling muttered through gritted teeth.

So, Zi Ling began secretly cultivating an evil technique. This technique was extremely insidious, requiring the absorption of vast amounts of negative energy during its practice; a slight misstep could lead to the corruption of one's mind by darkness. However, Zi Ling was blinded by hatred, and she threw herself into the cultivation recklessly, hoping to deliver a fatal blow to her disciples at the crucial moment when they were cultivating the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang.

Days passed, and under Jasmine's careful guidance, the disciples deepened their cultivation of the Bladder Meridian. On this day, as everyone entered a crucial stage of cultivation, Zi Ling suddenly appeared. She was surrounded by a layer of black mist, within which flickered an eerie red light and emitted a nauseating stench.

"Jasmine, today is your death day!" Zi Ling laughed wildly, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, releasing a powerful surge of evil energy. This energy, like a black tide, surged towards the disciples, instantly disrupting their internal energy fields.

The disciples' faces changed drastically, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Many, unable to withstand the impact of this evil energy, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. "Oh no, what kind of power is this?" Xiaofeng cried out in terror. He tried to circulate his spiritual energy to resist, but found that his spiritual energy was frozen and could not flow.

Seeing this, Jasmine immediately stepped forward. Her body shone with golden light, a stark contrast to Zi Ling's black mist. "Zi Ling, you are stubborn and unrepentant! Today I will stop you!" Jasmine shouted, unleashing powerful spiritual energy as she charged towards Zi Ling.

Zi Ling snorted coldly: "You? No one can save them today!" With that, she increased the output of evil energy, and the black mist spread rapidly, enveloping Jasmine and her disciples.

Jasmine engaged in a fierce battle with Zi Ling amidst the black mist. Her spiritual energy flickered in the darkness, like a beacon illuminating the surrounding darkness. During the battle, Jasmine discovered a subtle connection between Zi Ling's evil techniques and the energy of the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang. A thought struck her, and she decided to use this to break Zi Ling's techniques.

Jasmine focused her mind, circulating the energy of the Bladder Meridian within her body. She guided this energy, creating a powerful cycle within her, before releasing it to collide with Zi Ling's evil energy.

"Hmph, you think you can break my technique like this? How naive!" Zi Ling mocked.

However, when Jasmine's Bladder Meridian energy came into contact with Zi Ling's evil energy, an unexpected change occurred. Zi Ling's evil energy seemed to have met its match and began to dissipate rapidly. It turned out that the circulatory power of the Bladder Meridian possesses a powerful purifying effect, capable of dispelling darkness and evil.

"This...how is this possible?" Zi Ling watched in horror as her evil energy was gradually dissolved, her heart filled with fear.

Jasmine seized the opportunity and unleashed her strongest attack. She channeled the energy of her Bladder Meridian to its maximum, forming a golden beam of light that shot towards Zi Ling. Zi Ling tried to dodge, but it was too late. The beam struck her, and she screamed as the powerful energy sent her flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Zi Ling struggled to her feet, looking at Jasmine and her disciples with eyes full of resentment: "You wait, I won't let this go!" With that, she transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the darkness.

With the crisis temporarily averted, Jasmine quickly checked on her disciples. She used her spiritual power to help stabilize the energy fields within the injured disciples' bodies and repair their damaged meridians. Thanks to her efforts, the disciples gradually recovered.

"Elder Jasmine, thank you for saving us," the disciples said gratefully.

Jasmine smiled and nodded: "It's good that everyone is alright. This battle has taught us that the path of cultivation is full of dangers and challenges, but as long as we remain steadfast in our beliefs and united, nothing can stop us. Next, we will continue to cultivate the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang to consolidate our cultivation achievements."

The disciples nodded in agreement, readjusted their focus, and immersed themselves in cultivation. However, before they could calm down, a deep roar came from afar, growing louder and louder, as if an ancient behemoth was approaching.

"What is that sound again?" Mengli asked in alarm.

Jasmine's expression turned serious: "I don't know, but it's definitely not good news. Everyone, get ready, it seems our troubles aren't over yet."
