He Xiaoyao shook his head, smiled, and said, "I'm not some kind of monster. How could I possibly have a ninth meridian? I've never heard of anyone having nine meridians."
Tan Xiao said, "Well, the surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the breakthrough momentum from just now looked exactly like breaking through meridians. Did you manage to reach the true Seven-Star Stage?"
He Xiaoyao replied, "When I opened the eighth meridian, I was already at the Seven-Star Stage. It's just that my true qi hadn't caught up yet, so I hadn't fully attained the Seven-Star cultivation level. There won't be any breakthrough phenomenon this time. Even when I eventually possess Seven-Star strength, there won't be another breakthrough display. As for why there was a surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, I'll tell you later."
