My gorgeous wife Chapter 2371 - 2339: The Man Without Meridians

Li Chen stared with wide eyes, looking at the Seven Realms Tome floating in his sea of consciousness.

Then, he received a definite answer.

"Yes, it really devoured a universe." The Seven Realms Tome said quite matter-of-factly.

In an instant, Li Chen felt an urge to go crazy.

What do you mean by that nonchalant attitude?

That was a universe, a universe!

Li Chen was just an individual, no matter how strong, he was still just a person, yet now, he alone had devoured a universe!

Even if it was just a man-made Minor Universe, it was still a universe that had created countless lives!

"You didn’t know?" Seeing Li Chen’s strange expression, the Seven Realms Tome was a bit surprised and said: "I thought you were conscious at the time."

"I..." Li Chen was instantly speechless.

Back then, when he unleashed the Black Qi to deal with Shang, Li Chen’s consciousness had completely submerged.

For the entire ten thousand years that followed, he could say he knew nothing, until he was about to leave the Cosmic Ruins, Li Chen’s consciousness gradually recovered somewhat. At that time, he was still under the oppression of the Black Qi and facing the pursuit of the last Dao Saint of the Yu Clan.

In fact, stopping outside the Cosmic Ruins was a helpless move for Li Chen, because he knew very well that without the help of the Black Qi, he had no way to resist a powerful Peak Dao Saint.

In the end, Li Chen could only risk it momentarily and handed over control of his body to the Black Qi, allowing the Black Qi to kill that Dao Saint of the Yu Clan.

However, after that, Li Chen found it was not so easy to regain control over his body.

Some things can happen once or twice, but not a third time.

The principle of not happening three times, Li Chen also knew it well.

Although he didn’t know what exactly the Black Qi was, it did not prevent Li Chen from recognizing the Black Qi’s power.

The first time the Black Qi occupied his body, it took Li Chen ten thousand years to regain it.

The second time, to slay that Peak Dao Saint, Li Chen once again relinquished control of his body.

This time, it took him eighty million years.

If there were a third time, Li Chen guessed that he might never be able to regain his body.

At that time, even he couldn’t imagine what he would become.

And now, Li Chen realized another powerful and terrifying ability of the Black Qi.

Devouring evolution.

Apparently, the fact that it took him eighty million years to regain his body the second time was not unrelated to the devoured Universe of the Yu Clan.

If the Black Qi were to devour something else, he might not be able to suppress it anymore.

"This kind of thing cannot happen again." Li Chen murmured to himself.

The Black Qi, under no circumstances, can be released again.

"Master, where are we going now?" At this time, Red Moon asked.

"Where to?" Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don’t know where to go, but we should find a place suitable for cultivation. After all, my current Cultivation is only at Earth Level, so to recover, I can only take it step by step."

Red Moon nodded.

This time, Li Chen’s situation was indeed completely different from before.

Before, even if he lost his Cultivation or was sealed, there would still be some ’Seeds’ existing, and the existence of these power seeds allowed Li Chen to quickly recover his Cultivation.

But this time, all of Li Chen’s Energy was completely devoured by the Black Qi, without even a trace of ’Seed’ left.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this complete purge that allowed Li Chen to cultivate new Powers.

"What’s this Cultivation Technique called?" Li Chen asked the Seven Realms Tome.

The Cultivation Technique he practiced came from the Seven Realms Tome.

Even if previous Cultivation Techniques were different, they were later modified by the Seven Realms Tome to form new ones.

But this time, he didn’t use any template but started directly with the original cultivation technique from the Seven Realms Tome.

"What’s it called? I don’t know either." The Seven Realms Tome said: "For countless years, although I have issued numerous Cultivation Techniques, they were all altered according to the different physique characteristics of each race. As for the original Cultivation Techniques from the beginning of civilization... you’re really the first to cultivate it."

"Why, haven’t you passed on this Cultivation Technique before?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"It’s not that I haven’t passed it on before." The Seven Realms Tome denied: "It’s just that, aside from you, no one else seems to be able to cultivate the original cultivation technique."

"Why?" Li Chen frowned. He didn’t think there was anything special about himself.

The Seven Realms Tome was a bit irritated by the questioning: "Can’t you see for yourself? Your body was controlled by the Black Qi, and although it is restored now, have you not noticed what’s different about your body compared to a normal cultivator?!"

"What’s different from a normal cultivator..."

Li Chen inspected himself internally and suddenly froze.

Because only then did he realize that in his body, it seemed... there were no Meridians!

"Where are my Meridians?" Li Chen shouted in shock.

"Meridians? They were worn away long ago when you were competing in persistence with the Black Qi." The Seven Realms Tome said disdainfully.

"Without Meridians, how can I cultivate... wait, I’m already at Earth Level."

Thinking of this, Li Chen suddenly understood.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed because when running the Cultivation Technique and the True Qi was circulating within his body, it was smooth and unobstructed.

Even when breaking through a Realm, there wasn’t the slightest hindrance, so smooth that Li Chen actually overlooked the existence of Meridians.

But now, the newly aware Li Chen realized that the Meridians in his body had completely disappeared.

Logically, without Meridians, he shouldn’t be able to circulate any energy, but at this time, while operating the Cultivation Technique to channel that Nihility Energy, Li Chen felt there was no obstruction within his body. Not only in places where Meridians used to be but seemingly everywhere in his body, the Cultivation Technique could operate!

Whereas Li Chen’s body was once a one-way street, now it could completely be considered an interconnected hub.

His Colorless Energy could easily be expelled from any corner of his body to confront enemies.

In this way, it added yet another trump card for Li Chen.

"Alright, Seven Realms Tome, bring out everything you’ve collected, let me see if there’s anything good." Li Chen said with a smile to the Seven Realms Tome.

"Okay." The Seven Realms Tome didn’t hesitate and immediately enlarged its body.

The giant tome floating in the air flipped its pages, and as it flipped, many items fell out.

Li Chen followed behind the Seven Realms Tome as it threw and he collected.

It must be said, Li Chen indeed found many valuable items.

For instance...

A Supreme Treasure from the Cosmic Era of the Yu Clan... Yu Hun Xiang!
