Chapter 135: New Meridians

When the mysterious man had drawn the arc in the air, Ji Hao saw visions in his head, once again. This time, these visions were the stories of ancient humankind, which were buried deeply in human bloodlines.

Deep in a mountain ridge was a towering peak, which was half covered in snow and on top of that peak, hundreds of gigantic trees, which reached straight into the sky, naturally formed a magnificent armchair. An amiable-looking elderly giant man, thousand zhangs tall, whose body was wrapped in rolling green mist, was sitting on the gigantic tree chair, and pitifully looking down at an ordinary elderly human with white hair, who was kneeling on the ground.

“Human, how could your weak and vulnerable body bear any power?”

“Although I have learned the secret of life, and am able to see through the life and death of all kinds of plants, I can not help you.”

“Your body is too weak. You have meridians inside your body, but what could you possibly achieve with those completely blocked and fragile meridians? You can’t even bear the input of the slightest strand of natural power into your body, so how am I supposed to teach you any cultivating method?”

The elderly ordinary human with white hair was scrawny and haggard, and he didn’t have any proper clothes on him; there were only a couple of frazzled leaves wrapped around his waist. A pair of pupils were shining with bright, wise light in his deeply hollowed eye sockets.

He looked at the elderly giant, respectfully and cautiously begged, “The God of the East, the most merciful god in the entire world, we, the humankind, are too weak, but all the other creatures in the jungle are growing more and more powerful. If even you can not help us, I’m afraid that our humankind is truly going to die out.”

Keeping silent for a long while, the elderly giant slowly stood up, raised the heavy wooden cane in his hand and waved it slightly.

“I am a creature that has been created out of the power of plants, and although I have thought of an idea to help you, but I can not give you any help by myself. I only have a body that is similar to yours, but I have no flesh and blood in me.”

“Human, go beg those powerful creatures, which have blood and flesh in their bodies, and also have a slight little bit of mercy remaining in their hearts. The hope for your humankind of rising in this jungle, is carried by those creatures! If they are willing to share their powers with you and protect humans, there will always be a hope for your humankind to survive in this world.”

After the elderly giant had finished his speech, a wisp of green mist spurted out from his wooden cane, gushed into the elderly human’s forehead, leaving a cyan mark on his forehead.

“This is the secret method for the inhabitation of bloodline powers, go teach this to all of the humankind in this world. With regards to the rest, it will depend on your luck,” continued the elderly giant.

Ji Hao suddenly awakened from the vision, his pupils shining with a golden-red light. He thought of the visions that he had seen in his own dreams when he had been unconscious. The human ancestors of the Gold Crow Clan had begged an ancient Gold Crow for help, then merged those ancient Gold Crows’ spirit blood with their own bodies and started the Gold Crow Clan’s unique power inheritance system. Was this all because of what the elderly giant, whose body was wrapped around by green mist, had taught the ancient humans?

The God of the East?

The East, the power of plants. Was that the legendary Emperor Qing?

But soon, the violent shock that came from inside his body forced Ji Hao to stop thinking. The amount of main meridians inside human bodies were only a few. However, no one had any clear idea about the number of other medium, smaller, and extremely tiny sized meridians the human bodies had.

Nevertheless, today, Ji Hao had learned that if all the meridians, which a human body purely contained and that could circulate power, would be counted from the head to the toe and from the internal organs to the outer skin, numbered exactly twelve hundred thousand and nine thousand and six hundred! (TN1F note: 1,209,600)

Which was exactly the number of one unitary!

[TL note: I have no idea about what this one unitary refers to, I assume it’s from some kind of power/magic system.]
