Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

With this little push all he heard was a little thud sound before an avalanche occurred. The moment his star map entered his mental node, the mental node suddenly shook vigorously and started to expand.

For him, he never saw a node expanding up like this even when he was breaking through major milestones in cultivation stages.

Being faced with uncertainty, he decided to keep pushing and trusting his instincts, supporting the growing node with everything he had.

At these brief minutes, the node and the adjacent meridians which were resistant to accept any other form of energy before started to allow the bigger and weaker energy from the dantian and lower nodes and meridians to come in and mixed with his higher form of energy there.

As for his star map, it kept moving slowly like a king passing through his own armies. It slowly moved to the center of the node before starting to rotate the entire energy there, helping in more mixing with the rest of his body energy and rotating them in an increasing momentum again.

Arthur didn\'t interfere this time and waited. After all he didn\'t know what this would yield. So, he decided to wait and keep his breathing regular, hoping the monstrous influx of his energy with the help of his new gears would help.

Just as he hoped, the energy coming from outside barely kept the consumption of the star map and the newly expanding node going on normally.

The star map kept circulating energy, yet he noticed something else. The star map wasn\'t just moving energy or mixing the energies together; it was refining them on a small yet visible to naked eye speed.

"Interesting," he muttered and then he went to his dantian to test things there. "Amazing, it\'s turning to a normal node," he muttered when he noticed the energy didn\'t stop there or regenerate from it.

The old dantian turned slowly into a normal node, only storing and organizing the flow of the energy around his body.

"Then…" he paused as he returned to his mental node and started seriously observing changes there. The node grew from its normal size to exceed the size of his old dantian by three folds.

The meridians around it got thickened, being strengthened by the flow of energy caused by the star map.

Inside the node he felt more changes occurring. The star map didn\'t only refine the weaker energy to the quality of energy inside his mental node from before; it started to also upgrade both.

"Will this be my breakthrough way?" he said to himself while watching all this slowly unfolding in a synchronized way.

When he assessed the strength and the quality of his mental meridians, he was sure these weren\'t the meridians of foundation establishment stage one, or even the foundation establishment stage at all.

"It\'s like the core formation stage meridians… the late stages as well," he reached to this conclusion after rechecking the meridians more than once.

"It\'s also affecting other meridians," he noticed that once the energy strengthened and modified his mental meridians, it kept spreading to his neck and chest meridians, changing them as well.

He watched, hardly doing anything apart from regular breathing, while his entire meridians and nodes system was getting upgraded.

For him this took a little amount of time, but actually it took him a week just to change his entire meridians and nodes in this way.

Once his energy finished changing his meridians and nodes system, he checked them to confirm his previous theory.

"They have reached the late core formation stage quality," he muttered before assessing his slightly darker blue energy inside these, "and the energy quality can be matched with the mid core formation stage."

Just as he went upside to check on his mental node, he found the star map shivering faintly on regular rhythm. The rhythm started apart, and switched time it kept getting closer until the star map kept trembling all the time.

With each tremble, a pulse was emitted and his entire body and soul shook. After a couple of minutes of these, he started hearing booming sounds coming from his mental dantian.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With each explosive sound, the energy inside his meridians and nodes keeps condensed by a strange form of force, then it would be unleashed towards the nearby tissues and muscles; reforming them.

"Amazing," he was simply amazed by this unique way of breaking through. For him, first he needed to breakthrough his dantian and energy inside his meridians and nodes before taking care of his body in the next days to weeks, or even months.

Yet at this moment, his star map was doing what he should be doing in the same moment of breaking through. He watched with interest and amazement while the star map kept doing its job without pause.

The energy kept penetrating his body, strengthening it with every booming. Arthur hoped this would last forever, yet after an hour everything calmed down again.

"What now?" he muttered, as he felt this sudden calmness to be the one preceding great changes.

When the star map didn\'t make a sound for an hour or so, he started to check his meridians and nodes to find the energy quantity there are fewer than before.

"Did my body absorb so much energy?" he asked himself and the next moment he focused more on getting more energy to his body.

In the outside world his body had already stopped seizuring days ago. And now his body was covered with a strange thick layer of filth that stood between him and his gears doing their function properly.

"I believe what his body just secreted is getting in the way of his gear function," the golden dragon said after long days with little progress.

"Ding! I have a solution for that."

The next moment it looked like a fountain of purified water emerged all of a sudden above his sleeping body on the ground.. All the filth was washed away and just as this happened, his gears kicked in with full force again.
