Spiritual power and energy are still constantly merging, growing stronger, and constantly impacting the final bottleneck. Various laws of power are also surging from all directions and converging around Mu Hanyan.
"It's about to break through!" Gao Weihu, Yue Tianlun, Zhou Shucheng and others were so excited that their fingers were trembling. Although they were outside the room, they could still feel the power of the law that was constantly condensing in the room. This was also the most important sign of breaking through to become a soul priest.
"It's about to break through!" In the room, Mu Hanyan's heart was also filled with ecstasy.
It was only a matter of time before the bottleneck of conflict came, and the spiritual power and energy in the body were still accumulating. At this moment, Mu Hanyan's expression suddenly changed.
She thought of a very serious problem. No matter it was swordsmanship or divine arts, no matter it was promoted from a swordsman to a sword master, or from a spirit priest to a spirit heart priest, the internal energy or spiritual power would be essentially improved, and would be ten or even dozens of times stronger than the previous realm.
At the moment of breakthrough, the body's meridians, sea of qi, and heart meridians will also undergo a transformation under the nourishment of the power of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to another meridian cleansing and marrow cleansing. Without this transformation, it is impossible to withstand the spiritual energy that has increased tenfold or even dozens of times.
The promotion from Divine Heart Priest to Divine Soul Priest would likely increase her spiritual power by more than ten times, possibly hundreds of times. Furthermore, she had a feeling that, at the same time as her promotion to Divine Soul Priest, her swordsmanship would likely rise to the level of Sword Saint, potentially increasing her energy by another hundred times. However, judging by the energies of heaven and earth gathering around her, even another meridian cleansing and marrow cleansing would likely not allow her to withstand such a powerful spiritual energy.
Just as she was thinking this, the thing that Mu Hanyan was worried about happened. A sharp pain suddenly came from her meridians. One of her meridians could not withstand the ever-increasing spiritual power and energy, and it suddenly exploded.
"Puff!" Mu Hanyan also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her heart sank, and she quickly swallowed the elixir and began practicing, hoping to protect her meridians and persevere through the breakthrough. Unfortunately, it was too late. Meridians ruptured one after another, and blood instantly dyed her robes red.
At the same time as her meridians were opened, the power of heaven and earth around her suddenly became extremely chaotic.
"Boom!" The power of heaven and earth exploded. Amidst the loud noise, the entire Temple of Life trembled violently, and Mu Hanyan flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the stone wall and spurting out another mouthful of blood.
Outside the room, Gao Weihu and the others, who were filled with excitement and anticipation, waiting to witness Mu Hanyan's ascension to the Divine Soul Priest, felt their hearts sink.
Without thinking too much, Gao Weihu rushed open the door and saw Mu Hanyan falling to the ground with blood spitting out of her mouth. They were all shocked.
"Sir, how are you?" Gao Weihu helped Mu Hanyan up and took out the pill for her to take.
"It's okay." The power of the pill instantly flowed throughout his body. Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a pale face.
"Sir, what happened? Why did you fail to advance?" Seeing that Mu Hanyan could still speak, Gao Weihu felt relieved and asked curiously. Yue Tianlun and Zhou Shucheng's eyes were also full of confusion.
While not everyone succeeded in the promotion from Divine Heart Priest to Divine Soul Priest, and failure was possible, the probability was extremely small. They had never imagined that such a rare event would happen to Mu Hanyan. After all, her extraordinary talent and strength far exceeded their imaginations. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that someone in the world could have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. How could she fail in her promotion to Divine Soul Priest?
"The power of heaven and earth is insufficient to help me cleanse my meridians and marrow again." Mu Hanyan explained simply.
Speaking of this, she was also a little depressed. She had finally improved her cultivation to the peak of the tenth-level Divine Heart Priest, and found an opportunity for a breakthrough so quickly, but failed due to insufficient power of heaven and earth. This was something she had never expected before.
Fortunately, although she failed to be promoted, because the power of heaven and earth exploded quickly, only her meridians were severely damaged, and her cultivation foundation was not affected. She can still break through next time.
"The power of heaven and earth is insufficient!" Gao Weihu and Yue Zhou looked even more surprised.
Although they had heard of cases of failure in promotion to Soul Priest, these were usually due to over-reliance on elixirs during cultivation, resulting in a weak foundation, or flaws in the skills, or sudden encounters with unexpected events and loss of consciousness during the breakthrough. They had never heard of failure due to insufficient power of heaven and earth.
"Master Priest Mu, I've heard there are three levels of spiritual priesthood: rebirth, soul nourishment, and spiritual transformation. The meridian cleansing you mentioned probably refers to rebirth, right? Consider how vast and immense the power of heaven and earth is; how could it possibly be insufficient? I've never heard of anyone failing to ascend to the rank of spiritual priest due to insufficient heavenly power," Yue Tianlun asked. Beside him, Zhou Shucheng nodded repeatedly, clearly asking about the same thing.
Both of them have good talents. If they have enough resources for cultivation, they have great hope of being promoted to the Soul Priest. Mu Hanyan's breakthrough this time is also a good opportunity for them to learn from her experience. Now that Mu Hanyan has failed, the shadow left in their hearts is not small. If they don't understand the reason, they will be unable to sleep or eat, and they may not even dare to rashly impact the realm of the Soul Priest.
After listening to Yue Tianlun's words, Mu Hanyan realized that the third level of the Soul Priest was almost exactly the same as the third level of the Sword Saint, except that nourishing the Qi and condensing the soul became nourishing the soul and condensing the soul.
But this also reminded her and helped her find the reason for her failure.
Whether on the Divine Continent or the Holy Court Continent, the laws were incomplete, and naturally the power of heaven and earth was also incomplete. Other swordsmen ascended to Sword Saints, or Divine Heart Priests ascended to Divine Soul Priests. Their transformations focused on either tempering their physique or their divine consciousness, so even if the power of heaven and earth was insufficient, they could still cope.
But she is different. Judging from the situation from the moment she broke through to the last moment, once she breaks through, her sword skills and divine skills will be promoted at the same time, reaching the realm of Sword Saint and Soul Priest respectively. Naturally, this incomplete power of heaven and earth will not be enough.
After figuring out the reason for the failure of the breakthrough, Mu Hanyan no longer felt depressed, but instead felt inexplicably excited.
The harder it is to break through at this time, the stronger the strength will be after the breakthrough. Anyway, the failure just now did not damage her foundation, so she should actually feel fortunate for it.
"Maybe my physique is different from others, and my cultivation method is too mysterious." Mu Hanyan was not that familiar with Yue Zhou and the others, nor did she have enough trust in them. Of course, she could not tell the truth and could only explain it this way.
