Chapter 2987 — A Smooth Breakthrough! Early Heaven Rank!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Very quickly, Wei Zhao discovered to his delight that, having just broken through to the Heaven Rank, he had already stabilized his power at the early Heaven Rank stage! Such an astonishing speed left Wei Zhao utterly amazed, for he had heard that experts who broke through to the Heaven Rank all experienced a period of instability—especially those who broke through by taking pills. Old Master Zhao was a case in point.
But Wei Zhao found that breaking through with the Intermediate Qi-Gathering Pill carried no such flaw; it had directly stabilized his power.
And once Wei Zhao's power was stabilized, he found that his acupoints' automatic absorption of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy had stopped, returning to normal! Yet when Wei Zhao realized this, his earlier delight vanished and he broke out in a cold sweat!
If he had not had the jade pendant's space, he would have been in serious trouble earlier! This Intermediate Qi-Gathering Pill seemed different from the ordinary Qi-Gathering Pill—the Intermediate one, after the breakthrough, would continue to absorb heaven-and-earth spiritual energy to stabilize one's power level, whereas the ordinary one had no such process.
Just think: without the jade pendant's space to absorb pure energy from, where would Wei Zhao get so much heaven-and-earth spiritual energy to stabilize his power? Even if Wei Zhao had not used the jade pendant's space—never taken the Qi-Gathering Pill—the thin wisp of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy around him would have been utterly insufficient to stabilize his power!
Wei Zhao was certain: if he had not absorbed enough heaven-and-earth spiritual energy back then, he would surely have suffocated to death from the lack of it!
In other words, if anyone else had broken through this way, they would have been in grave danger—at best losing all their power, at worst losing their life!
Of course, Zhao Qilei would never have meant him harm, and Zhao Qiwu probably did not know about any of this either. He had taken the Intermediate Qi-Gathering Pill to break through from the early Earth Rank to the peak of the late Earth Rank; it was never meant to be used to break through a level barrier, so he likely had no idea about this.
At this thought, Wei Zhao secretly counted his blessings—it seemed the jade pendant's space had saved his life once again! This cheat always came to his aid at the most critical moments! Sometimes Wei Zhao would feel sorry for himself, thinking that with a cheat like the jade pendant, his leveling speed still was not as fast as Zhang Naipao's—but now, on reflection, it was always he who won in the end. Leveling fast did not mean being the final winner!
Once his power was stabilized, Wei Zhao casually took a fresh set of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on. But at this very moment, Wei Zhao was suddenly struck by a strange sense of déjà vu!
It seemed that the last time he had broken through by taking the Qi-Gathering Pill, someone had also come to check on him midway—and what had he done afterward? He seemed to have made a phone call. But whom had he called?
Wei Zhao shook his head. He simply could not remember clearly!
