What is this?
As soon as I asked this question, Yan Nantian jumped down and muttered, "The Heavenly Dao's corpse. This is the Heavenly Dao's corpse …"
The Heavenly Dao's corpse?
The Heavenly Dao is just an illusory concept. It doesn't have a physical form. How could there be a corpse?
Because of the giant corpse, I was stunned for a long time. Then, I jumped down from the hole in the wall and went to Yan Nantian's side.
After I stood on the ground, the corpse floating in the air looked even bigger. I didn't dare to speak loudly and just whispered to Yan Nantian, "Big Brother Yan, what is this Heavenly Dao's corpse?"
Yan Nantian didn't seem to hear me. His eyes didn't even blink as he stared at the corpse. His body seemed to be shivering as he muttered, "I knew you wouldn't lie to me. You wouldn't lie to me …"
After a while, he suddenly turned his head. The disdain and disappointment in his eyes had completely disappeared, and he had regained his previous warm and even flattering expression. He chuckled and said, "I don't know what this is either, but according to ancient records, this is the Dao Essence of Chaos, the Corpse of the Heavenly Dao … No wonder there is Heaven Grade Yin Qi. I'm afraid that only the Corpse of the Heavenly Dao can produce Heaven Grade Yin Qi in this world."
I didn't understand what he said, but looking at the giant corpse and the purple-green vine, I couldn't help but sigh with admiration. The Corpse Sect's terrifying power was this Heavenly Dao's corpse and the vine. It was obvious that this Heavenly Dao's corpse was the source of all the Heavenly Yin energy in this area.
It was possible that this giant corpse was imprisoned here by the Corpse Sect to provide Heavenly Yin energy to the sect.
After a moment of dazzlement, I ran my fingers through my hair and put this thought aside. I frowned and asked Yan Nantian, "Big Brother Yan, did you already know that this thing existed here?"
He didn't deny it and nodded with a smile. "I've heard people tell me this before, but I didn't believe it. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I know that it's true … Let's not talk about this. We've finally found the Heavenly Yin energy. Little brother, you should focus on cultivating the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique for the next few days. If there's anything you don't understand, you should ask me now.
I won't be able to take care of you for the next few days. "
Can't take care of me?
I hurriedly asked, "Does Brother Yan have something to do these few days?"
Yan Nantian nodded. He stared at the huge corpse and said, "I need to think of a way to take something from this corpse."
I nodded. I wanted to find the Heaven level Yin energy to practice the Netherworld Ascension Technique, so I didn't doubt it. However, what did Yan Nantian want to take from this corpse?
After asking, he smiled and told me that he wanted a drop of blood from the corpse. He also said that it was the Heavenly Blood.
When I heard this name, my heart trembled. My soul and spiritual sense inexplicably felt a kind of reverence. I opened my mouth to ask, but I couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Yan Nantian had already turned around and walked towards the foot of the huge corpse.
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. I didn't want to think about anything else. I sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Yin energy around me.
As I immersed myself in cultivation, the outside world didn't bother me anymore. I didn't know how long it had been, but the Yin energy around me slowly entered my body through my pores. It turned into wisps of Yin energy that passed through my meridians and gathered in my acupuncture points.
My Heaven Meridian originally had four acupoints of Dao Qi. After a period of cultivation, the fifth acupoint had about a quarter of Dao Qi. After the Heaven Level Yin Qi entered the meridians, it finally gathered in the fifth acupoint of the Heaven Meridian. It didn't take long for the Dao Qi in the fifth acupoint to turn into Yin Qi.
From this moment on, all the Yin energy in my fifth acupuncture point had turned into a vortex that emitted a cold Yin energy. As it spun, the tip of the vortex turned into a sharp Yin needle, which fiercely stabbed the barrier of my sixth acupuncture point.
The cold pain enveloped my entire body in just a blink of an eye. However, in the midst of this pain, the needle easily pierced a small hole in my sixth acupuncture point.
Right after that, the Yin needle changed its direction and started to stab somewhere else.
At this moment, I finally understood why the Netherworld Ascension Technique had such a miraculous effect on breaking through the barrier of the acupuncture points. The Dao energy was gentle and wouldn't harm the human body. However, because it was too gentle, it was hard to stimulate it and make it proactively break through the acupuncture points.
Yin Qi, on the other hand, was different. Yin Qi itself was very sharp. That was why it was said to be bone-chilling. Once it reached the acupoints, the Yin Qi would be like needles piercing into the acupoints from the very beginning. Although it would cause pain and harm the body, it was the best way to open the acupoints.
The Yin energy in my Heaven meridians' fifth acupuncture point was extremely pure. After condensing into Yin needles, their sharpness was even more terrifying. That was why the barrier of my acupuncture points couldn't stop the Yin needles. That was why a hole had appeared in my acupuncture points in just a blink of an eye.
Even more terrifyingly, the amount of Yin energy in my Heaven meridian's fifth acupoint is less than one-third of the acupoint's capacity. As the Yin energy accumulates, the size of the Yin needles will increase. Naturally, the holes they make in the acupoint's walls will also become bigger.
At this speed, I guessed that when the amount of Yin energy in the acupuncture point reached one-third of the acupuncture point's capacity, the sixth acupuncture point's barrier would be completely broken!
The facts confirmed my guess. After a few hours, the sixth acupuncture point's barrier was filled with countless small holes. When the Yin needles pierced through it one last time, the acupuncture point's barrier collapsed. The Yin needles carried a fierce aura and rushed into the sixth acupuncture point!
The acupuncture point's barrier was broken. I had officially reached the sixth aperture realm!
Feeling excited, I opened my eyes and looked around. However, I didn't see Yan Nantian.
I guessed he was still trying to find the Heavenly Path's blood. I didn't mind it. I closed my eyes and continued to absorb Yin energy to break through the next acupuncture point.
Time was of the essence, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Any delay would be a waste of time.
As time passed, the cold Yin energy shrouding my body became thicker. The number of acupuncture points in my Heavenly meridians increased from five to six, seven, and eight!
Not long after the eighth acupuncture point was opened, Yan Nantian's voice came from next to me.
Only then did I wake up from my cultivation. Just as I was about to open my eyes, I noticed that there was a thick layer of frost on my eyelashes. As I opened my eyes, the frost tore apart, giving off a rustling sound.
When I opened my eyes, Yan Nantian was standing in front of me. He seemed to be injured. His face was haggard, and his aura was much weaker.
Without waiting for me to ask, Yan Nantian asked, "Has your realm increased?"
Originally, in the eyes of a Heavenly Master cultivator, with my cultivation base, he could see through me. However, he was currently residing in a zombie's body, so he didn't have that ability.
I smiled and nodded. "It's around three apertures."
Yan Nantian's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "But it's only been nine days!"
His words stunned me. There was no sense of time in the mountains, and there was no sense of time when I cultivated. I didn't know how much time had passed. I thought that according to what Yan Nantian had said, it would take more than twenty days for me to open three chakras. I didn't expect that it had only been nine days.
After his shock, Yan Nantian suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "When you entered the Pressure Point Realm, how many meridians did you open?"
After hearing his question, I instantly understood what the problem was.
Everyone's aptitudes were different. No matter what cultivation method, there would be a difference in talent. Yan Nantian's nine apertures and one aperture was probably based on the talent of a normal meridian Earth Master. I had three meridians and five apertures. Naturally, the speed at which I absorbed Yin energy was three times faster than a normal meridian Earth Master.
After explaining to him, Yan Nantian once again stared at me. After a long while, he sighed and said, "No wonder you have such a cultivation at such a young age. This quasi four meridian talent … really makes one gasp in amazement!"
