The villain is right beside me

It wasn't that Mo Wanji wanted to withdraw voluntarily, it was just that the two of them were so amazing that he was forced to withdraw.

Everyone was stunned. Even if Si Minghai was fine, could it be that Mu Qing’s background was stronger than his?

At this time, Mu Qing had already opened the Chong and Dai meridians, forming a small circulation, and the remaining Yinqiao, Yangqiao, Yinwei and Yangwei seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck. This is because these are not internal organs, nor are they related to the inside and outside. They seem to exist independently, but they are divided into Yin and Yang.

To break open these meridians, you need more powerful cleansing and a direct breakthrough!

Si Minghai was also surprised by Mu Qing's performance, however, he was only one step away from the 36 meridians, but no matter how short the step was, he could not break through it.

There is no perfection in the world. Perhaps the best perfection is imperfection.

After a while, Si Minghai decided to give up attacking the last acupoint and began to cleanse the meridians throughout his body to accumulate strength.

Unconsciously, Si Minghai's momentum gradually weakened.

Mu Qing was still madly attacking his meridians. At this moment, diluted liquid was flowing out of some of the bumpy places on the tree trunk behind him. These were the essences that had been accumulated in this tree for thousands of years. Before they could flow down, they seemed to evaporate and turned into wisps of colorful spiritual energy.

The fifteenth day passed.

Si Minghai opened his eyes and found that the vortex around Mu Qing showed no signs of stopping. This made him feel for the first time that he had to face Mu Qing squarely.

"It's almost done." Si Minghai looked at Mu Qing deeply, then crushed the jade talisman.

The elders who had gone back long ago after the competition were now gathered in front of the valley. They were shocked by the news from the disciples the day before, and all came to see it.

The other disciples who did not leave were also looking forward to seeing some miracle.

The beam of light appeared again, and everyone looked over here.

On the 15th, this broke a record again.

When Si Minghai stepped out, everyone's face showed some shock.

Could it be that Mu Qing is still in there!

Elder Gongsun asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone came over, wanting to know what was going on inside?

Si Minghai said sincerely: "I am not as good as him..."

He told the elders what happened inside. They looked at each other, shock written all over their faces.

How long will he stay in there?

Elder Gongsun sighed secretly: "Junior sister, you have a good disciple."

Another ten days passed.

Several elders simply decided not to leave, but the matter had already been reported back to the sect, causing an uproar.

As time went by, even the chairmen showed their complexities. You know, Mu Qing was just a useless immortal root with seven attributes. Even if such an immortal root was lucky enough to build a platform, could he continue to move forward?

After the 30th day.

The entire pool had completely dried up, revealing the bottom of the pool. At this time, Mu Qing finally opened his eyes!

In just one month, he actually absorbed all the spiritual energy in the pool!

"Give it to me—charge!"

Mu Qing accumulated the rich spiritual power in his body, turned it into a raging wave, and broke through the last four meridians!

All in one go!

"break!"

With a loud bang, an unprecedented pressure emanated from his body. It was stronger than that of a cultivator in the Awakening Realm, and even more powerful than that of a cultivator in the Platform Building Realm. It spread like an overwhelming tidal wave.

"From today on, there will be no rivals below the Platform Building Realm." Mu Qing murmured, and stood up, only to find that he had sucked up all the water at the bottom of the pool.

He stretched and saw a big pit at the bottom of the tree roots. He suddenly noticed something. The entire bottom of the pool looked like... a huge claw mark!

Mu Qing suddenly had a guess that this tree was picked here by some powerful person, and he did so in an extremely powerful way!

"What is this!" Mu Qing saw something glittering with golden light at the bottom of the tree roots. He jumped down and saw a palm-sized piece of colorful scale buried underneath.

The scales are diamond-shaped, and there seem to be Taoist symbols on them.

Mu Qing put it away and then crushed the jade talisman. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a group of figures that looked like wooden stakes. Then, those eyes froze on his body at an extremely terrifying speed. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?" Being stared at in such a strange way by them, Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh dryly.

"Do you know that you stayed in there for a month!" Si Minghai stared at Mu Qing intently, and even his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

Mu Qing didn't realize it either, but they all felt that this month seemed to have lasted for ten years. They all gasped, with shock that was hard to conceal in their eyes.

"It seems that you have gained a lot." Even Elder Gongsun, who usually had a stern face, showed a smile. He could feel Mu Qing's unusual aura at this moment.

Si Minghai suddenly said: "Brother Pastor, you can't have already... opened up all 36 meridians... "

Mu Qing nodded, and everyone was stunned for a moment by his words. Then they were shocked, surprised, and even unbelievable.

"What did you say! Your awakening state is perfect!" Elder Gongsun's face darkened, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him also became strange.

Mu Qing: "Is there anything wrong?"

The faces of the elders all looked strange. Some were regretful, some complained, and some were disappointed...

Elder Gongsun stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qing's shoulders, not using much force, and then quickly let go. He looked at him, not knowing what to say: "You...you...you..."

Si Minghai said: "Junior brother, you... took the wrong road..."

Since ancient times, there has never been a perfect realm. However, anyone who has reached this level, although invincible in the early stages, must follow the laws of heaven and earth in their cultivation. A cultivator in the perfect realm cannot enter the next realm. Even if he succeeds by chance, he will not be able to improve much and can only wait until his lifespan is exhausted.

Many people have already regarded this road as a dead end, because it is too difficult. Not only are there only a few people who can achieve it, but almost all of them are stuck in the realm and can no longer break through, and eventually die.

Mu Qing looked at the rapid changes on their faces and didn't care.

Amidst confusion and mild ridicule, everyone returned to the sect. Moreover, these returning disciples were about to begin the final preparations - building a platform!

The state of awakening is just the beginning of the path of cultivation. Only after building a platform can one be called a cultivator.

When one enters the stage of building the platform, the Qi and blood will flow up to the sky and down to the perineum, completely opening up the platform of the gods, and only then will one possess the divine consciousness unique to cultivators.

The spiritual consciousness can spread, which not only makes one's reactions more sensitive, but also allows one to see subtle changes in the surrounding environment without using the eyes.

After Mu Qing came back, the original expectations and shock for him gradually faded. Perhaps, he could only be an outer disciple for the rest of his life.

Soon after, the sect gave the top seven disciples the Dragon Transformation Pill and the Heaven Building Pill. The disciples who received the Dragon Transformation Pill immediately went into seclusion. In contrast, those disciples who failed to make it into the top ten also received other rewards.

After Mu Qing got the Dragon Transformation Pill, he did not rush to swallow it. Although he had now achieved perfect enlightenment, the Platform Building Stage was a crucial step, so he had to adjust his mindset first.

A month after returning to the sect, Zhang Yan, who had swallowed the Dragon Transformation Pill early, finally exuded an astonishing aura under a gust of wind ripples outside his cave.

Zhang Yan was the first to enter the stage of building a platform! And, naturally, he became an inner disciple.

The inner disciples are the backbone of Piaomiao Sect and have the right to choose a cave residence on a peak. This also means that the inner disciples have left the general public and become true cultivators!

Soon after, Lan Yue, Qu Shuhuan, and Mo Wanji also built platforms one after another, as did Yi Xuan, Luo Tong, Wenren Murong, and others...

The fact that the sect can add cultivators at the Platform-Building Realm one after another makes all the leaders smile from ear to ear. Perhaps in the future, a Wheel Sea Realm ancestor will appear among these disciples!

Four months later, the much anticipated Si Minghai, amidst an astonishing roar of spiritual energy, stepped into the Platform Building Realm.

When everyone saw Si Minghai successfully take this step, someone suddenly remembered, what happened to Mu Qing, the number one in the Jinchi Conference, the one who had shocked countless people?

To be honest, it's nothing.

During these days, Mu Qing not only practiced the five elements magical powers, but also comprehended the spells of the other three veins, studied spiritual patterns, and honed his cultivation.

He got an egg, and he didn't know what creature was inside it, but he arranged a small spirit gathering array for the egg, which continuously gathered spiritual energy from heaven and earth, hoping that it would be born soon.

He studied the scale for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so he simply put it aside and prepared to build a platform.

Finally, he began to retreat.

Shortly after Si Minghai entered the Platform Building Realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered again in front of Mu Qing's cave.

boom!

An even more terrifying spiritual power ripple spread in all directions, and the entire mountain was shaking. This scene made many outer disciples envious.

But this wave of ripples only lasted for a few seconds before slowly fading away. Eventually, the mountain range became stable and the surrounding spiritual energy dissipated.

Some disciples felt this strange scene and seemed to have suddenly realized something. They talked about it in a voice full of ridicule and sarcasm.

A few spiritual consciousnesses just approached and then quickly dispersed. Between heaven and earth, a few wailing sounds seemed to be heard at the same time.

Failed.

Mu Qing had a strange look on his face at this moment. He indeed failed to build the platform, but... on his body, several acupuncture points were flashing faint light, and these acupuncture points were not on the meridians or on the inside or outside of the internal organs!

Truly, perfect - 720 acupuncture points!

The state of awakening is perfect and complete.
