Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Never Give Up, Victory in the First Battle
Of course, if she endured until the end, and all her divine power was burned clean without having completed a single cycle of meridian circulation, it would mean that all the pain she suffered and all her efforts were in vain.

Beiting Huang was very clear about this in her heart, but she was not afraid. She not only possessed the courage that ordinary people lacked, but also a persistence that others did not have. In her view, in this world, there was nothing she couldn’t obtain, only things she didn’t desire.

If she failed, she could try a second time; if the second attempt failed, there would be a third. As long as she did not die, no matter the pain, she could accept it.

It was with this resolute control in mind that, even when the divine power within Beiting Huang’s body was once again burned to exhaustion and her Golden Core had become dim and lusterless, she remained fearless.

The Brilliant Holy Pearl could only release energy at a limited speed, unable to keep up with Beiting Huang recklessly stimulating the divine power in her body to circulate through her meridians and endure the scorching of the Nine-Colored Nirvana Fire. However, the one thing that Yan City had in abundance was spiritual qi. With the covert replenishment from the Brilliant Holy Pearl and the formidable suction of the Chaos Divine Source acting like a massive vacuum, it drew in spiritual qi from all around without cost, into Beiting Huang’s dantian. After being transformed by the meridian circulation, it replenished her divine power.

The Golden Core once again shone brightly. When the power inside her became sufficient once more, Beiting Huang began the fusion process anew.

The deep sleep’s Nine-Colored Nirvana Fire once again blazed through the meridians of Beiting Huang, and, with the experience from countless previous attempts, she did not hesitate to mobilize the divine power in her dantian like a tidal wave, surging through her body’s meridians.

Time passed without measure, sunrise to sunset, while Yan Ye and the four guards simply stood between heaven and earth, watching the girl amidst the Sea of Other Shore Flowers as sweat appeared and dried again and again on her face and body.

Even Qiong Qi and the others couldn’t help but admire Beiting Huang’s steadfast determination. From beginning to end, they only saw her lips tightly pressed, and even though her eyes were closed, her face wore an unwavering determination, with no hint of despair.

“In all the world, this indomitable spirit, this tenacity to never give up, I’ve only seen in one other person, and that is my master,” Qiong Qi inhaled deeply, then turned his head away, unable to bear watching the girl soaked in cold sweat, still enduring the pain.

Again and again, by the end, Beiting Huang seemed almost numb to the pain. Amidst the lake breeze, the spider lilies had bloomed extravagantly like fire and now began to wither. It was unclear how many days had passed, but finally, a trace of divine power, thin as a wisp, within Beiting Huang’s body withstood the scorching of the Nine-Colored Nirvana Fire, completed the entire circuit through her meridians, and returned to her dantian, entering her Golden Core.

Unquestionably, this trace of divine power carried a flame of the Nine-Colored Nirvana Fire. The moment it entered the dantian, the whole Golden Core trembled violently from the burn, and a tremendous pain rushed toward Beiting Huang. However, simultaneously, Beiting Huang could feel the terrifying energy contained in this small, almost invisible thread of divine power.

And this sensation of power exhilarated Beiting Huang as if she had been injected with adrenaline; her entire being became excited.

First battle, victory! Beiting Huang gazed at the thread of divine power that had merged with the Nine-Colored Nirvana Fire and had turned from pale gold to an even more subtle and mystic hue. The pale golden color blended with the nine colors, shining with a radiance like that of a star. Upon closer inspection, one could see what seemed like ethereal flames burning upon the divine power.

That was the Nine-Colored flame!
