Chapter 89

In order to break through to the Human Rank, Yi Tian and the clan leader, along with the senior elders, entered the underground space to enter seclusion.

At this moment, some of the rooms in the underground space had already been repaired. Yi Tian chose one of the rooms and began his seclusion, his storage bag filled with various kinds of fierce beast jerky, water, and other food.

After making preparations, Yi Tian began his seclusion to break through.

As he continuously operated the Great Sun Heavenly Art, he refined the 3,650 acupoints related to the Great Sun Heavenly Art.

Under Yi Tian's control, the vast true qi continuously opened up the acupoints, one by one, activating and refining them, crazily absorbing a massive amount of pure yang true qi, emitting a hazy light, and slowly undergoing transformation.

The 3,650 acupoints were evolving, further unlocking the mysteries of their origins.

However, the pure yang true qi in Yi Tian's dantian was completely depleted in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The changes in the major acupoints were minimal.

At this moment, Yi Tian realized how arduous the task of refining and unlocking the deeper mysteries of the acupoints, transforming them into spirit acupoints, truly was.

He took out a piece of essence crystal, tightly holding it in his hands, and operated the Great Sun Heavenly Art. Threads of essence liquid transformed into a vast, pure essence qi, surging into his body, continuously circulating.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the true qi in Yi Tian's dantian space was restored to full.

Without the help of essence crystals or essence stones, it would take Yi Tian several days, or even over ten days, to fully restore his true qi.

With the essence crystal, he could restore his true qi in an extremely short time, saving a lot of time.

Crack!

A piece of essence crystal suddenly developed cracks.

Yi Tian opened his eyes from his cultivation, casually tossing the essence crystal to the side, and picked up another piece to continue his cultivation.

At this point, he had already been cultivating for a full fifteen days.

The 3,650 acupoints in Yi Tian's body were now glowing, just one step away from transforming into spirit acupoints, but this had also consumed six pieces of essence crystal.

This made Yi Tian understand why many martial artists chose to break through without fully opening all their spirit acupoints.

The true qi required for each acupoint to transform into a spirit acupoint was truly enormous. For ordinary martial artists, it would take a massive amount of resources to open hundreds of acupoints required by their cultivation techniques. Only the top forces could afford to support this. Otherwise, it would take several years or even over a decade to refine the acupoints, or they would have to explore various forbidden and dangerous areas to seek opportunities.

Of course, the most critical prerequisite before this was that the true qi must be refined to an extremely pure state. Only then could the acupoints be refined and transformed into spirit acupoints.

This step alone consumed a significant amount of time for martial artists. Due to their cultivation techniques, their true qi was not refined or pure enough, and they had to spend several decades refining it. The older they got, the more difficult it would be to break through in the future, which was why most peak Ninth Rank martial artists ultimately found it difficult to break through.

Therefore, with the essence crystal, the time required to refine true qi and the effort to refine spirit acupoints could be greatly reduced, making it an unparalleled treasure for all martial artists to break through to the Human Rank.

Fortunately, the Yi Clan discovered a large essence vein mine, and Yi Tian obtained over four hundred pieces of essence crystal. Moreover, he cultivated the Heaven Rank technique, the Great Sun Heavenly Art, which made his pure yang true qi extremely refined, meeting the requirements for refining spirit acupoints. After consuming piece after piece of essence crystal, the 3,650 acupoints in his body were about to successfully transform.

If it were other martial artists cultivating ordinary Human Rank techniques, they would need less than one piece of essence crystal to break through. For those cultivating Earth Rank techniques, breaking through to the Human Rank would require no more than two pieces of essence crystal.

Their cultivation techniques were not as profound and complex as the Great Sun Heavenly Art, and the number of spirit acupoints involved was only a few hundred to a thousand.

Yi Tian's foundation was solid, and he had already consumed six pieces of essence crystal without fully refining the 3,650 spirit acupoints.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the 3,650 acupoints in Yi Tian's body suddenly emitted a bright light, like stars radiating boundless brilliance, illuminating the endless darkness.

"The acupoints involved in the Great Sun Heavenly Art have finally successfully transformed into spirit acupoints."

Yi Tian felt a surge of joy.

After the 3,650 acupoints in his body transformed into spirit acupoints, Yi Tian could sense a mysterious connection between these spirit acupoints and the surrounding world.

He seemed to be able to open the spirit acupoints at any time, absorbing a large amount of essence qi from the world, and forming a subtle connection with this world.

If he wished, he could condense his true qi into true essence, truly stepping into the Human Rank.

However, Yi Tian did not give up on continuing to refine the other acupoints. If he stepped into the Human Rank, it would become extremely difficult to continue refining the other acupoints in the future.

The unrefined acupoints were too fragile compared to the powerful true essence, and a slight mistake could destroy the acupoints.

Next, Yi Tian used the Sun Shooting Heavenly Art to refine the 27,000 acupoints in his body.

This time, the time Yi Tian spent was very long.

He spent three months refining all the acupoints involved in the Sun Shooting Heavenly Art into spirit acupoints. This was because most of the 27,000 acupoints in the Sun Shooting Heavenly Art were already included in the 3,650 acupoints involved in the Great Sun Heavenly Art, so he did not need to spend time refining them.

After refining all the acupoints involved in the two Heaven Rank techniques into spirit acupoints, Yi Tian focused on the other acupoints in his body, with over 8,000 acupoints remaining.

Yi Tian used the methods of cultivating the Sky Sword, Instant Teleportation Secret Technique, Vast Wilderness Heavenly Art, Tiger Roar Heavenly Art, and Ten Thousand Phenomena Heavenly Art to refine the other unrefined acupoints. In the end, all 36,000 acupoints in his body transformed into spirit acupoints, with a few hundred acupoints still uninvolved.

Now, Yi Tian still had over 500 acupoints that were not fully refined.

The remaining 500 acupoints were not involved in any of the cultivation techniques or combat skills he practiced.

Therefore, Yi Tian had to refine them one by one.

This increased the time Yi Tian spent.

Boom!

At this moment, Yi Tian sensed a powerful aura bursting out from a room in the distance.

Yi Tian immediately understood.

The clan leader or one of the senior elders had just broken through to the Human Rank and was temporarily unable to control the true essence in their body, emitting a powerful aura.

Yi Tian did not move.

He was completely immersed in refining the other acupoints in his body.

When he was thirsty or hungry, he would take out fierce beast jerky and water from his storage bag and eat and drink hastily.

With his Star Mud avatar, he could reflect all the acupoints in his body, ensuring no mistakes would occur.

Over a long period of time, Yi Tian did not know how long it had been. When the tens of thousands of pounds of fierce beast jerky in his storage bag were almost depleted, he finally refined all the remaining acupoints in his body into spirit acupoints.

36,490!

Yi Tian could sense the existence of the 36,490 spirit acupoints in his body, and their subtle connection to the world.

Through this subtle connection, he could vaguely perceive some of the mysteries of the world, seemingly within reach yet also seemingly far away, which was quite frustrating.

All 36,490 acupoints in Yi Tian's body had been refined into spirit acupoints, allowing him to perfectly and flawlessly step into the Human Rank, laying the most solid foundation.

However, Yi Tian was still somewhat reluctant.

According to a few ancient texts passed down by the Yi Clan, the number of acupoints in the human body that have been discovered is 36,490. However, the ancient texts also recorded a legend among humans.

The legend states that the total number of acupoints in the human body is 36,500, containing the number of the heavens.

In other words, there are still ten acupoints in the human body that have not been discovered.

The legend says that the final ten acupoints are a forbidden realm. Once this forbidden realm is opened, one's strength will surge to an unimaginable level, capable of contending with the most ancient and powerful deities and demons.

Even with his Star Mud avatar evolving his body, Yi Tian could not discover the location of these final ten forbidden acupoints.

Yi Tian could not yet touch this most mysterious realm of humans and had to give up.

Thus, Yi Tian began to break through to the Human Rank. Without a doubt, he easily stepped into the Human Rank, condensing true essence.
