Breaking Through

Alex felt a change in his state.

He saw the world through his inner eye, the one that belonged to his nascent soul. What he saw was a world of glowing light, a mass of Qi that filled his vision and all.

And then it began shrinking.

More accurately, he began growing. The Soul began growing.

Alex's nascent soul got larger and larger until it could no longer fit in the Dantian at all. As if a chick inside of an egg, his Nascent soul broke through the non-physical barrier that kept his soul inside the Dantian, and started growing even more.

Outside of the dantian, the world he saw was dark. But still, he could see some lights here and there, like thin glowing wires that formed latices all around the sky.

He saw the many meridians glowing all around him.
