Chapter 6

In the sea of consciousness, a living lotus flower was growing.

Such a miraculous thing!

"Such a strange and wondrous thing in the world," Yun Yang was shocked beyond measure. He was certain that such a thing had never happened in the entire Tianxuan Continent!

Because it was simply impossible!

But it had truly happened to him.

"For me, it could be a calamity that brings me under control, turning me into some kind of demon... or it could be a once-in-a-lifetime immortal connection, making me invincible from then on..."

Yun Yang was very calm about this unexpected event.

He was very clear: when something unusual happens, there must be something strange.

Since it happened to him, it must either be a blessing or a curse!

"But whether it's a blessing or a curse... I can accept it with equanimity!" A smile appeared on Yun Yang's face, which was as beautiful as jade: "As long as it can help me fulfill my brothers' unfulfilled wishes and avenge this blood feud, I can enjoy the blessing and bear the curse!"

A trace of nostalgia appeared on Yun Yang's face.

The pitiful thread of Xuan Qi in his body began to circulate according to the route of the Everlasting Power.

This was a completely new route!

But Yun Yang was not at all anxious.

"Ouch!" Just as he started to circulate, Yun Yang felt a needle-like pain. Even with his endurance, he couldn't help but let out a light groan.

With each step forward of the Everlasting Power, the extreme pain was like ten thousand little knives stirring wildly in Yun Yang's bone marrow.

Yun Yang took deep breaths, and sweat poured down his forehead!

But he did not stop for a moment, and he continued to circulate with all his might! Go through!

Go through!

No matter how painful, could it be more painful than my heart? Pain means life!

It means hope!

Later, Yun Yang's consciousness became blurred from the pain. But that faint thread of power still moved forward in his meridians, struggling and determined! ...

No one knew how long it had been...

Suddenly!

He suddenly felt a violent tremor in his body, and the lotus sprout in his sea of consciousness seemed to sway. A sharp pain shot through the top of his head.

The next moment, with a boom...

It seemed that some barrier had suddenly opened...

Then, the spiritual energy in his body seemed to have found a new outlet, surging forth.

One cycle was completed!

And on top of Yun Yang's head, he clearly felt that with cultivation, a stream of spiritual energy actually penetrated through the top of his head!

Penetrating through the top of his head!

"Acupoint breakthrough!"

Yun Yang's eyes widened.

At this moment, he almost fainted from joy! He immediately felt that even if the pain were a hundred times worse, it would still be worth it!

This Everlasting Power actually had such a heaven-shaking effect!

This...

As one of the Nine Respects and a former super expert, how could Yun Yang not know the difficulty of acupoint breakthrough?

Life is not a guarantee that everyone has the potential to cultivate! And among those who have the potential to cultivate, not everyone can become an expert!

What is known as innate talent is a real thing. In the world of martial artists on the Tianyuan Continent, this hierarchy is even stricter.

There are twelve levels of power, each level a different heaven.

Martial artists cultivate acupoints: the coccyx acupoint, the qi sea acupoint, the perineum acupoint, the life gate acupoint, the purple palace acupoint, the cervical acupoint, the top acupoint, the intention acupoint, the spirit acupoint!

Martial artists are divided into three types: lower-level primordial qi martial artists, middle-level spiritual qi martial artists, and upper-level Xuan Qi martial artists.

Of course, there are even higher levels, but those are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, rarely seen in a hundred years.

Primordial Qi Martial Artists. Born with no acupoints open or one or two acupoints open; at most, the qi sea acupoint and the life gate acupoint; these martial artists hone their muscles and bones, enhancing their strength; by overextending their human potential to gain strength. They cultivate using their own primordial qi, which is called primordial qi. No matter how hard these martial artists try, their lifetime achievements will inevitably be limited.

Spiritual Qi Martial Artists. Also known as internal strength martial artists; born with three acupoints open; they have yin force in their bodies, which can be used to injure others externally. By sitting in meditation, they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gathering it in the dantian qi sea. Those with deep cultivation can break stones and split mountains, maximizing their acquired strength; this is called spiritual.

Xuan Qi Experts, with six acupoints open, can traverse rivers and seas, connect with the heavens; they are innate, and when their cultivation reaches its peak, they can melt gold and iron, climb mountains and cross rivers as if they were flat ground; they come and go without a trace; they are called Xuan! Mysterious and wondrous.

Yun Yang was born with six acupoints open: the coccyx acupoint, the qi sea acupoint, the perineum acupoint, the life gate acupoint, the purple palace acupoint, and the cervical acupoint; this was his innate constitution. He thought that his lifetime achievement would be at most to become a regional expert, with no hope of reaching the mythic level; but he never dreamed that after cultivating the Everlasting Power for such a short time, he actually managed to open another acupoint!

The top acupoint!

This absolutely impossible, never-before-recorded event had miraculously happened to him!

Now, Yun Yang had seven acupoints open!

In the history of the Yutang Empire, there were only a few people like this! Just one acupoint difference, but compared to Yun Yang's previous constitution, it could be described as "heaven and earth apart."

Now he was in the clouds, while before he was in the mud!

Just reaching this point, Yun Yang already felt that the Everlasting Power lived up to its name as a divine power.

With cultivation, it could enhance one's potential!

This was truly a god-like ability!

Moreover, the power of the current thread of Xuan Qi was vastly different from before. Yun Yang could clearly feel that if the previous Xuan Qi was a hemp rope, then the current thread of Xuan Qi was like silk from a celestial silkworm!

Such was the difference!

With the opening of the top acupoint, the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed in; Yun Yang's power continued to circulate, and from every part of his body, from every pore, countless impurities slowly seeped out...

Refining the sinews and purifying the marrow!

True refinement of the sinews and purification of the marrow.

Yun Yang's thoughts were active, but the Everlasting Power did not stop circulating for a moment.

What Yun Yang did not know was...

Above the sky, the spiritual energy from all directions was like a black hole vortex, continuously gathering... surging and overwhelming, one after another...

Around, several martial artists who were cultivating suddenly woke up in shock.

Because they found that at this moment, the spiritual energy they could absorb was so meager; almost none!

What was going on?

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Several figures directly appeared on the roof, looking around, feeling the strange movement of the spiritual energy in the world, completely bewildered.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing the extreme shock in each other's eyes.

"Which great master has actually come to the Heavenly Tang City?!"

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transformed for my use; a hundred miles suffocating, the realm of a grandmaster!

Only the legendary grandmasters, when practicing, had such a phenomenon; but how many such grandmasters were there in the entire Tianyuan Continent?

Now, one had actually appeared in Heavenly Tang City?

What did this mean?

What did this grandmaster want to do?

In the direction of the imperial city.

A figure suddenly appeared in the high sky, eyes full of shock, staring intently at the direction from which the powerful aura was coming from the southwest, uncertain and doubtful.

"Which super expert has come?"

Another figure shot up into the sky, landing beside him; his face was grave. The two looked at each other, seeing the horror in each other's eyes.

"Very powerful!"

"But, I can't even determine the direction from which it's coming... strange."

"Rubbish, with your weak cultivation, you think you can figure out the origin of such an existence?"

"Who is it?"

The first person smiled bitterly: "No matter who it is, it's an existence we absolutely can't provoke."

...

In Yun Yang's sea of consciousness, the small, tender green lotus sprout was shaking, seemingly growing a little bit...

A pure and vital force slowly emanated.

From the ground, from the sky... it rushed into the sky, and in a situation invisible to the naked eye, it suddenly exploded in the high sky...

All the plants on the entire Tianxuan Continent, in this moment, experienced a collective surge of growth...

In just one night, it seemed as if the world had undergone a complete transformation.

...

"My purple jade ginseng, why did it bloom overnight?" In a certain place, an old man looked at the purple jade ginseng in his courtyard, which had bloomed with fragrant flowers, completely baffled.

The purple jade ginseng, which he had carefully tended for twenty years, had never changed; let alone blooming...

But now, the old man almost thought that the purple jade ginseng in front of him had been switched.

...

In the Endless Forest.

Several people who had just woken up looked at the surroundings, their eyes wide open in shock.

Last night, everyone was worried about wild beasts attacking, so they made a special effort to build their camp on a large tree branch; but when they woke up this morning, they found themselves surrounded by dense branches and leaves!

Four or five people, along with their tents, were wrapped up like dumplings in the dense leaves.

And these... were clearly the spaces they had cleared out last night.

"What's going on...?" One of them was completely baffled, scratching his head: "I just slept for a night, how could it feel like many years have passed?... Ah, look, those two trees, I cut off two large branches yesterday to use as supports, how... have these two trees grown so much? The places where I cut off the branches... have also... grown back with even thicker branches?"

This person, in a panic, grabbed the chest of the person next to him: "Brother, brother, how long have we been here? Poor me, I just got married last month, I don't want to go back and find my sister-in-law already old and gray..."

The other people were also stunned...

Yes, in just one night, the world had changed dramatically!

What... is going on?

...

It was already dawn.

Yun Yang took a light breath; feeling his body, which seemed to be reborn, radiating a surging vitality, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Everlasting Creation Lotus; one leaf, nine heavens; when the first bud bloomed, the chaotic universe appeared; after the sea and land changed, the heavenly connection is unknown; when the golden lotus blooms again, the jade disc clears the world; originally the creator, waiting for the right one; today the creation opens, standing before the great path."

Yun Yang narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Everlasting Creation Lotus..."

This passage was not difficult to understand.

When the first bud bloomed, the chaotic universe appeared; that is, the first time the lotus seed sprouted and bloomed, the universe and the world were created; the second time it sprouted and bloomed, it produced the Creation Jade Disc; because of the Creation Jade Disc, the Heavenly Dao was born. And what Yun Yang had obtained this time was... the third time the Everlasting Creation Lotus sprouted!

Therefore, today the creation opens, standing before the great path!

"An incredible treasure..."

Yun Yang forcibly suppressed the surging excitement in his heart.

When he saw the small, tender green sprout again with his divine consciousness, he felt even more affection.

The Everlasting Power was just the first benefit the Everlasting Creation Lotus brought to him; the basic cultivation method. Only when certain conditions were met, when the first lotus leaf was complete and the second lotus leaf began to grow, would he receive more...

But how could he make the Everlasting Creation Lotus grow faster?

Yun Yang frowned.

Because there was no hint at all.

Yun Yang supported his chin with his hand, thinking deeply.

"This lotus seed fell from the sky and knocked me out. Then it hung on my chest all the time..."

"Until before that battle, there was no sign of anything unusual. After the battle, I should have died many times, but I suddenly came back to life, and... the wound on my chest was gone, and the lotus seed disappeared at that time."

"It must have merged with my blood and entered my body at that time."

"But just entering didn't cause any changes... my injuries never healed, my cultivation never recovered... until today."

"When I killed Wu Wenyuan, I felt a sudden surge of power... and this power seemed to come from Wu Wenyuan's corpse..."

"Only after this power appeared did the lotus seed suddenly show itself to me."

"Then the vitality in my dantian returned, and I began to cultivate the Everlasting Power..."

A flash of understanding appeared in Yun Yang's eyes. He recalled the incantation of the Everlasting Power: "... chaos without limits, the great path gives birth to one; from nothing, something is born, endlessly; absorbing all the unjust energy in the world; soothing my living beings, endless grievances; advancing on the great path, without betraying kindness; though the lotus heart is bitter, it is the foundation of life; the will is the knife, dispelling all evil... slaying evil and purifying the soul, the lotus seed sprouts.
