Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had to conduct the fifth stage of meridian cleansing.

Generally speaking, only Martial Ancestor cla.s.s experts would go through the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. Furthermore, the level of danger was several times more than the fourth stage of meridian cleansing. Yang Dingtian wasn't prepared to take the risk previously.

But there wasn't a choice. With the number of sediments in his mystic meridians, he had no choice but to take the risk. It was fortunate that the fifth stage of meridian cleansing might be extremely painful. However, with the holy water, the level of danger shouldn't be as risky as forcefully breaking through with the imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation.

After Yang Dingtian's body recovered, he started preparing the ingredients for the fifth stage of cleansing in another jade barrel.

The ingredients were similar to the fourth stage of cleansing, but the quant.i.ty and quality were of the higher level. Hence, the medicinal bath Yang Dingtian created had a color that was much more beautiful, and the energy was much more stunning. The red portions were fiery redder, and the blue portions were icy bluer.

During the fourth stage of meridian cleansing, Yang Dingtian poured in one bottle of holy water. For the fifth stage of cleansing, Yang Dingtian poured in three bottles of holy water, and he couldn't help but feel a pinch in his heart.

This was the extremely valuable holy water, and Yang Dingtian had only smuggled one barrel out. After all the usage, he had already used up close to a third.

I need to experience another h.e.l.l-like pain again!

Yang Dingtian cursed in his heart, and the terrifying pain was something that made him tremble with fear.

He gritted his teeth and jumped into the medicinal bath for the fifth stage of meridian cleansing.

“Ahhh…”

Yang Dingtian didn't bite down his teeth in pain but yelled out instead.

The ice and fire sensation was a few times more intensive than the fourth stage of cleansing.

The immolating sensation wasn't just the immolation of the flesh, right now, even the bones were getting immolated. It was a pain that came from the inside, and it couldn't be described with words.

Soon enough, the bone-chilling cold a.s.saulted Yang Dingtian.

It was fortunate that this icy cold was slightly inferior to the deepest parts of the frozen water. With the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, Yang Dingtian was still able to endure it.

Just the entry in this medicinal bath was already so painful. The sc.r.a.ping of the sediments in the mystic meridians and the qi vessel that was going to happen later was probably going to be more painful by several folds.

The pain might be something that would never be forgotten for Yang Dingtian's entire life.

After gritting his teeth vigorously, Yang Dingtian recited the mnemonic chant for the meridian cleansing. A powerful surge of mystic qi instantly cut across the qi vessel, Yang Dingtian's vision darkened, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.

It was indeed an intolerable pain.

But what of it? When the pain reached the extremity, it was rather numbing. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth hard and controlled the mystic qi to barge straight through, allowing it to clear up the sediments in the mystic meridians and qi vessel with insane speed. Since he had the holy water, he wasn't going to die no matter what.

Every time the mystic qi was about to rip the mystic meridians, the holy water's mysterious energy would surge out to repair all wounds.

But the scene from above looked rather horrific as fresh blood was bleeding out from Yang Dingtian's body profusely. It had almost instantly dyed the large barrel red.

Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent…

…

Ninety-eight percent!

Ninety-nine percent!

Hundred percent!

As the mystic qi was barging through and after getting numbed by the pain, Yang Dingtian completed the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. He had completed this near-impossible task without any expert's protection by himself.

Of course, this was entirely made possible because of the holy water. Otherwise, even if Yang Dingtian had ten lives, he would have lost all of them by now.

After the cleansing of the meridians, Yang Dingtian felt a constant breeze in his qi vessel and mystic meridians. He felt as though he was really going to fly.

The sediments in the mystic meridians that were formed earlier had all vanished completely.

If Yang Dingtian were to continue regular cultivation, he wouldn't need to cleanse his meridians until the Martial Supreme cla.s.s and wouldn't have to go through such terrifying pain.

Before the Yin Yang Taichi Formation had lost its effects completely, Yang Dingtian used half an hour to fill up his qi vessel and mystic meridians with combat mystic qi. Afterward, he stored the five demon cores into his spatial ring. He then incinerated all the 999 ice and fire magnetism crystals, the jade barrels, and all the medicinal water.

Right now, there was still 30 hours before Qin Wanchou's birthday banquet! There was also 30 hours before the martial contest with that foolish Ye Feng, and also slightly more than 30 hours for him to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map.

Next, Yang Dingtian had to carry out his final segment of cultivation. He had to cultivate the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art.

After cleaning the secret room, Yang Dingtian took out the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and placed it in his hand.

The first rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art allowed Yang Dingtian's mystic qi to go through a shocking breakthrough. The second rank helped Yang Dingtian to breakthrough three levels. What about the third rank?

The first rank was called Pig Slaying Sword Art, and it was the sword art with the world's most mystical sword moves. The second rank was called Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword and could resist against any of the five attributes while allowing rapid cultivation in any of the elemental environment.

If the first rank cultivated the external sword moves, the second rank cultivated the internal mystic qi. What would the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art cultivate?

Yang Dingtian's heart was filled with expectations!

After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian opened up the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and gradually injected his mystic qi.

Instantly, the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art started to burn, and moments later, it was turned into ashes completely.

“Boom…” Yang Dingtian's eyes flashed with light, and he was inside an utterly unfamiliar illusion realm.

The third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yin Yang Qi Transformation Art!

First move, Fire Transformation Art!

Second move, Wind Transformation Art!

Third move, Ice Transformation Art!

Fourth move, Gold Transformation Art!

Fifth move, Thunder Transformation Art!

In the third rank's cultivation illusion realm, Yang Dingtian couldn't be seen, and no swords could be seen either. The entire realm was just nothingness.

Suddenly, the void abruptly burst open with two bundles of energy, yin and yang.

Yang was white, and yin was black!

The extreme yang transformed into a blazing fire, and the extreme yin transformed into chilling ice. When the ice and fire clashed, they ruptured and transformed into the wind. When fire and fire blended, it condensed into the golden attribute. Yin and yang clashed and produced thunder!

This was just the first stage! Immediately after, the two energies in the void started to transform, blend, and clash frenziedly, transforming into countless possibilities.

Fire transformed into the wind, fire transformed into the ice, fire transformed into thunder. Ice transformed into the wind, into the fire, into the thunder. Gold transformed into fire, into thunder, into ice!

Everything was transforming at a rapid speed, and it was endless. There were countless transformations, the yin and yang were going in reverse until the yin contained the yang and the yang contained the yin.

All the energies had transformed into a bundle of primal chaos and disorder.

Finally, the boundless energy transformed into the purest state, the primitive energy that didn't have any attributes!

Countless images rushed into Yang Dingtian's mind. Countless information and attributes were reforming and baptizing Yang Dingtian's mystic meridians.

This Pig Slaying Sword Art was indeed worthy of being the No.1 sword art of the world.
