Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 230: Ancestral Tower

Luan took another step. Stopping at floor 44, he sat down and meditated. With great effort, he endured the pressure. When he felt he was again in control, he began to force clean the Yang meridian vein connected to the Bladder. It was going well, but the pressure was too strong. It made him vomit blood again, but Luan prevailed. He swallowed a Qi Collection Pill and used the Qi to bolster his defense.

'As expected, it's very difficult. So not even 'she' made it to the 50th floor.' Luan knew it wasn't going to be easy, but he still wasn't about to give up.

He finally managed to compose himself and swallow the meridian vein cleansing pill, and when he cleaned up, he wasted no time connecting to his Dragon Core. The moment he did this, his body instantly strengthened and his Qi became denser and purer. Restoring the Qi, Luan transformed parts of his body into a white dragon, up to a beautiful, scaly white tail with a pair of wings and double horns slightly curved forward.

Luan walked and stepped on the 45th floor. His body, half-transformed into a dragon, was able to resist the pressure. Luan sat and meditated while still transformed. The Yin Kidney Veins which were also connected to the feet and legs begin to clean. When he noticed the right moment, Luan swallowed the Meridian Vein Cleansing Pill.

At the same time that he finished cleaning, he didn't even wait to vomit the impurities and already connected to the Dragon's Core. Then he vomited the impurities on the 45th floor.

His Qi reserve increased and his body strengthened. Luan took another Qi collection pill to fill the reserve he'd accumulated.

At that moment, your belly starts creating dragon scales, your face also creates some white dragon scales.

Luan roared and walked to the 46th floor... Gritting his teeth, he had a trace of blood running down the corner of his mouth. He couldn't stand it and vomited another mouthful of fresh blood. His red eyes blinked and slit, his eyes wild and fearless as a dragon's.

Luan sat down again and meditated. By replenishing his Qi, he begins to force clean the Pericardium Yin meridian that connected to the arms and hands. Luan's torso began to create white dragon scales, and he took the Clean Meridian Pill by forcing the impurity out of the tubes and connecting to the Dragon Core.

Then he vomited a lot. The floor was dyed by the black paint. It was such an impurity that it was surprising that it was all in his body. Luan didn't try to move forward. He continued on the 46th floor and began forcing the cleaning of the Triple Burner Yang that connected the hands and head.

The back of Luan's hand grew scalier, even more beautiful than white gold. Towards the pair of horns, scales began to form, just approaching the beginning of the horn roots.

Luan took another Clean Meridian Pill and the remedy took effect, pushing all the impurity out of the meridian veins. Luan quickly connected to his Dragon Core. He sucked in a breath of cold air and swallowed a Qi Collection Pill. The Qi was filling slowly and when it reached full, Luan got up.

On floor 47 the pressure was even heavier than a mountain. Luan felt he was being crushed to death, but he didn't give up. He didn't want to stop there. Veins became visible on his forehead and he continued to push his Qi to the max and his dragon transformation was becoming more complete, now his feet were more scaly and went up to his knees.

His feet nearly sank into the floor as he tried to keep steady, and sitting cross-legged, Luan mused to himself. This time he took his time. He didn't start meridian cleansing, but he was trying to get used to this strong gravity that wanted to crush him to death.

Two veins were missing. Luan opened his eyes after an hour of meditating, and felt confident. He started to force clean the Yang meridian vein, the Gallbladder that connected the head and feet. When the impurities were pushed but didn't come out, Luan swallowed the Meridian Cleansing Pill and the impurities were pushed by force and Luan connected the meridian tube to his Dragon's Core.

Luan's aura changed. His back created scales, and his aura became more like a dragon. The qi became denser and the qi reserve in the Dragon's Core grew a lot. Luan swallowed a Qi Collection Pill and meditated.

The pressure no longer had an effect on him, or rather, it wasn't strong enough to force him to clear his meridians. Luan got up when he recovered as much as possible and started walking. Each step was like he was carrying a mountain on his back; each step was like a giant's footstep, echoing loudly.

Floor 48. He stopped and couldn't advance to 49. He knew his limit and it would be suicide to continue like this. His Qi was draining very fast, and he had used a lot of Qi to defend himself from this gravity that almost broke him to pieces.

Luan sat and brooded as he swallowed Qi Collection Pills every half hour. After five hours, he sighed. His body got used to it, but not completely, but he was able to force the impurities of the Yin Liver veins that connect to the feet and change. It was the last step. As much as it was similar to the others, it seemed to take millennia. Luan was pushing the impurities of the meridian veins by force until he found the help of the Clean Meridian Veins Pill needed.

At the same time he vomited impurities, he connected the vein to the Dragon Core. His power soared with a roar, and he looked like a true dragon. Now all twelve veins were clean and connected to the Dragon Core. Luan's current appearance was half draconian-like.

'Now I have the Semi-divine Spiritual Body... With the dragon's transformation, I got to get many parts and the dragon's aura...'

'Now the next thing is to get the true spiritual divine body and the true dragon transformation... Well, that can be put aside for now. Right now, I want to reach floor 50!' Luan looked at the two floors ahead of him. Even being so close, this would be very difficult to achieve.

'With the body and the Qi, I have the strength of two dragons. The strength of 1 dragon is already of the Fourth Order, but it still doesn't seem like enough for me to reach floor 50. I need more strength!' His body was surrounded by clouds, thus increasing his physique, and even managing to deny some of the gravity.

Luan took one step, two steps, and reached the 49th floor...

*Spew!*

Fresh blood came out of his mouth. The pressure on the 49th floor was enormous. Even in the Fourth Order, he could barely stand upright. His legs were wobbly like a bamboo. Luan had to stop to replenish his Qi and recover from internal injuries caused by the pressure of gravity.

Meanwhile, Ingrid had just stepped onto the 40th floor. She almost gave up several times, but whenever she saw Luan up there struggling to go further, she found the strength to continue. She also managed to connect and clean 10 meridian veins. She was proud of herself at the same time, and she wanted to get closer to Luan. However, the pressure almost broke her spine in half.

Seeing Luan transform into a dragon aspect, she thought of something, and then, she used her Qi technique to the full: Blood as Life; Blood as Whole. Her body was surrounded by blood and created a kind of blood armor. It was unbelievable. Ingrid continued to struggle, and finally cleaned and connected the Gallbladder Vein, the eleventh vein.

On the 45th floor, she stopped vomiting blood, but the advantage of her lineage was that even though she lost blood, she could take it back. Kind of disgusting, but it made her manage to stay strong and continue, and finally connect and clean all the veins. Her strength rose unprecedentedly.

However, she didn't try to continue. She already saw her limit, and could only look at Luan from a distance, standing on the 49th floor and entering the door.

Looking to the left side, there was a gigantic door. When she put her hand on the door, it opened.

[Congratulations, you are the 4th person to reach the 45th floor on the first attempt since Earth's birth – Your name will be engraved in the history of the Ancestral Tower!]
