21: Martial Arts Extreme

Long Yuan discovered through research that the reason his Cultivation effect was so good today, besides his Divine-Grade Physique prototype, was also due to the Creation Profound Heaven Skill.

This Cultivation Technique can develop the human body, this great Treasure Trove, to the greatest extent. For example, ordinary Cultivation Techniques might only pass through a dozen major Acupoints in the body during a single Xuan Power circulation, while better Cultivation Techniques can reach dozens of key Acupoints, and even better ones might reach around a hundred key Acupoints. However, the Creation Profound Heaven Skill actually passes through all three hundred and sixty key Acupoints in the human body. If all these Acupoints were listed out, it would be an incredibly beautiful human body star map!!!

He discovered that whenever Xuan Power passed through a key Acupoint, that Acupoint would greedily absorb the Xuan Power and begin to form a small Qi vortex. If such a Qi vortex continued to develop, it was very likely to become like the large Qi vortex in the Dantian Qi Sea. In other words, if the Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement, he would have Xuan Power reserves from three hundred and sixty Dantians in his body. How could such a massive amount of Xuan Power be surpassed in its abundance?

Understanding this, Long Yuan couldn't help but admire the person who created this Cultivation Technique to the point of prostration. Could this person be the Heavenly Dao itself?

Such a level of Cultivation Technique was now in his grasp. Long Yuan felt incredibly fortunate...

And this was just a Martial Dao Cultivation Technique it created. In the future, there would be even more powerful Immortal Cultivation Techniques. The future was promising!

Long Yuan was now full of vigor and fighting spirit. He tirelessly circulated his Xuan Power, attempting to fill all three hundred and sixty key Acupoints. But ideals are abundant, and reality is stark. Cultivation is not that easy. Not to mention that he hadn't even found the location of most of those Acupoints, just the Xuan Power itself was mostly consumed after passing through the first dozen major Acupoints, leaving only a trace by the end. Who knew how long it would take to reach the Dantian Qi Sea!

At this moment, his body was like a bottomless abyss; any Xuan Power that entered would not leave. But he still felt that the surrounding Xuan Power was too little, and suddenly remembered the one thousand xuan stones Lu Shijie had given him earlier. He quickly took out two and placed them in his palm to aid his Cultivation...

Sure enough, the amount of Xuan Power entering his body began to surge, allowing it to flow through more key Acupoints, reaching thirty-six. Finally, a trace could still reach the Dantian Qi Sea. And flowing through thirty-six major Acupoints in the body was precisely the requirement for the first stage of the Creation Profound Heaven Skill. However, after finally completing this circulation, he was exhausted and completely weak.

"Although it's difficult, this feeling is truly sweet. It turns out Cultivation can be so addictive..." Long Yuan sighed in his heart. He could feel that after completing this Xuan Power circulation, all the cells in his body seemed to be cheering. He had an indescribable sense of excitement and satisfaction. However, he seemed to notice something was wrong. He looked down and saw that the two xuan stones in his palm had turned into dust, which made him slightly startled. He hadn't expected xuan stones to be so fragile.

But thinking that these were low-grade xuan stone, it was not hard to understand. Fortunately, there were many, so he just kept using new ones after they were used up. In a short while, he had used one hundred low-grade xuan stone!

"No, if this continues, my Xuan Meridians might not be able to withstand it!" Long Yuan felt waves of pain from his Xuan Meridians and dared not continue practicing. He could only slowly stop and cease his Cultivation!

Recalling his Cultivation just now, he was startled. He had actually circulated his Cultivation Technique fifty times and consumed one hundred low-grade xuan stone!

Such Cultivation speed was unimaginable!

Because in his previous life, he could at most circulate his Cultivation Technique once a day, then he would need to rest for two or three days before practicing again, otherwise, the Meridians in his body simply couldn't withstand the impact of Xuan Power. This was even when his Cultivation Technique was very poor. But now, he had circulated his Cultivation Technique fifty times at once and was still able to successfully stop, it was like heaven and earth. Could this be the special quality of Divine-Grade talent?!

"Wait... I can already circulate my Cultivation Technique fifty times without any obstruction. In the last dozen circulations, the Xuan Power has passed through all thirty-six key Acupoints and reached the Qi Sea, forming a complete Cultivation cycle. There doesn't seem to be any obstacle hindering me. Could it be..." Long Yuan's heart trembled, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

He now highly suspected whether he had already completed the first stage of the Creation Profound Heaven Skill?

Because from the way he circulated his Cultivation Technique, it was extremely similar to the description of successfully completing the first stage!

Could it really be that fast? Impossible...

According to the Cultivation Technique, if he completed the first stage, he would have already bypassed the Martial Apprentice and Martial Artist levels and directly reached the Martial Master level, which is the Acquired top-tier standard. Such a Realm would make him a significant figure in Fengyang County, fully capable of being an Old Ancestor of a large Family.

"No, not yet!"

After carefully comparing again with the Cultivation Technique, Long Yuan finally realized he had overlooked one point: he had only completed the major cycle of the first stage of the Cultivation Technique. However, neither the thirty-six key Acupoints along the way nor the Dantian Qi Sea had yet been filled with Xuan Power. Only when Xuan Power completely fills all the key Acupoints and reaches the point where it is about to liquefy can he enter the second stage!

Sure enough, his mindset was still impetuous. Even with Divine-Grade talent, Cultivation and strength are not so easily achieved, otherwise, it would become Cultivation Body irrigation. With Long Yuan's understanding, he naturally knew that Cultivation Body irrigation was not a good thing, because it was completely someone else's Cultivation, merely instilled for him to use. But this kind of Cultivation not only cannot achieve a flawless level of use, but it also causes great harm to the receiving body. Unless he uses the energy conversion point from the Heavenly Dao Space to add points, he believes that the Heavenly Dao's addition of points can absolutely allow him to achieve a Realm leap without any side effects. However, since the current energy conversion point is extremely precious, he does not want to use it yet. Therefore, he feels that he should still honestly solidify his Cultivation through practice, making it completely his own, reaching a level where he can use it as easily as his arm, that is the true success.

"The amount of Xuan Power is still not enough. If I had a good Xuan Power environment and good xuan stones, then I would only need to circulate my Cultivation Technique about three hundred to five hundred more times to achieve the desired effect!"

After careful calculation, Long Yuan found that his thirty-six key Acupoints and Dantian Qi Sea were only about one-third full, and he needed two-thirds more to completely fill them. So, what he lacked was only a good Xuan Power environment and excellent xuan stones for assistance. If he had these resources, plus his diligent Cultivation, then filling these key Acupoints and the Qi Sea would not be a big problem, because his Divine-Grade talent simply had no so-called bottlenecks; he could practice all the way through!

With a thought, a personal information phantom appeared:

[Host: Long Yuan]

[Age: 16 / 380 +]

[Realm: Martial Apprentice Extreme Realm (1.5 / 2) +]

[Fist Technique: Great Ming School Exercise Fist (Yellow Rank Medium Grade, Beginner 1 / 2) +]

...

"Hmm? Why is there still a Martial Apprentice Extreme Realm?!" Long Yuan was slightly startled. He quickly communicated with the Heavenly Dao Eye and soon understood. It turned out that the Extreme Realm could be said to be the exclusive domain of super Prodigies. Ordinary Xuan Practitioners, after cultivating to the Late Stage of a Realm, could Breakthrough to the next Realm once they reached Perfection. But for super Prodigies, Perfection was not the end; there was still an Extreme Realm. Entering the Extreme Realm could make a Xuan Practitioner's Cultivation incredibly solid, the kind that permeates deep into the bone marrow and Soul, making the entire body flawless and without any hidden dangers!

Those who can reach the Extreme Realm in every Realm are almost invincible among their peers!

Long Yuan's Cultivation just now directly took him from the Martial Apprentice Late Stage to Perfection and then half-way into the Extreme Realm, a speed that left him incredulous.

Wow!!!

Is this real?!!!!

Is Divine-Grade talent really so miraculous?!!!!

After carefully sensing his skin and bones, he found that his skin, muscles, and bones all showed a faint jade-like quality, with flawless white skin, even more translucent than a girl's. This situation was vastly different from Zhu Deyuan's previous understanding. For instance, in the Xuan Skin Realm, ordinary Xuan Practitioners would go through three stages: Stone Skin, Iron Skin, and Copper Skin. In the Late Stage, their skin would show a slight copper-like appearance. For girls, it was less obvious. He had seen Luo Ying's Realm was Xuan Skin Realm, and her skin was in the Iron Skin state, but her skin was still very fair. For men, the iron and copper qualities would be more distinctly displayed, and their skin color would be relatively darker. Yet now, his skin was as white as jade, which, in Earth terms, meant it was full of collagen.

Long Yuan was somewhat surprised and uncertain, but after testing, he found that his jade-like skin, whether in terms of elasticity, toughness, hardness, or resistance to impact, had all reached the state described in the Cultivation Technique. Additionally, there was a simple measuring machine in the corner of the Cultivation room, which his previous self had bought for a considerable sum. Long Yuan went over and measured his Qi and Blood value, and the data showed 600. In terms of fist power testing, his strength value reached 1450 kilograms. According to the Great Bright official standard, where Martial Apprentice Late Stage is a Qi and Blood value of 400 and a strength value of 800 kilograms, Long Yuan had already far exceeded it!

Moreover, his strength value reached more than twice his Qi and Blood value, which was definitely a level only super Prodigies could achieve!

Furthermore, what Long Yuan didn't know was that his measuring machine was extremely rudimentary and couldn't detect the special energy contained within Bloodlines, such as his Xuanhuang Bloodline and Bloodline of the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, he would have been greatly astonished...
