Thank you, He Shi Wu Bao, for your generous donation. I am deeply grateful and ask for your support by adding this to your collection.

The acupoints emitted a brilliant light, and the essence of primordial energy flowed smoothly.

Yang Qifeng's expression was calm, and he felt a great relief in his heart.

Finally, he had stabilized, and there was no longer a danger of his body collapsing.

His mind sank inward, slowly observing the six acupoints.

In Buddhist teachings, it is said that a grain of sand contains a world, and these acupoints were like worlds. As Yang Qifeng's mind sank into them, vast scenes unfolded before him.

Observing each acupoint, Yang Qifeng soon saw the first one he had opened.

This one was different from the other five, emitting a rumbling sound that did not reach the ears but directly resonated with the mind.

Inside the acupoint, a beautiful figure was spreading its wings and soaring.

Yang Qifeng's mind was captivated. This beautiful figure was blue with red spots, and its beak was white. Every movement exuded the essence of the Dao, influencing Yang Qifeng and bringing him enlightenment.

"This is the Bipang!" After a long while, Yang Qifeng withdrew his mind and sighed softly.

Bipang: a wood spirit, bird-like, blue in color, with red feet and one leg.

There is a bird, its appearance like a crane, with one leg, red markings, a blue body, and a white beak. It is called Bipang, and its cry is its own name. When it appears, there is a strange fire in the town.

The records about Bipang slowly passed through his mind, the impression becoming clear. Yang Qifeng looked at the ring on the talon, and he knew that this was the ancient divine bird Bipang, the root of the Qianlan Demon God.

With a deep breath, an endless stream of flames rolled in, flowing into Yang Qifeng's mouth and transforming into the essence of primordial energy, which then circulated through the six acupoints.

The Bipang, spreading its wings in the first acupoint, began to devour the essence of primordial energy in large gulps. The somewhat ethereal figure became more substantial.

Yang Qifeng knew that the first transformation of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang had been successfully cultivated. However, there had been a slight error in cultivation. Originally, he intended to open all thirty-six acupoints at once to lay the foundation for the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, but he ultimately failed. Fortunately, he had still made progress, opening six acupoints and completing the first level of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang. For the next cultivation, he just needed to follow the steps, obtain the essence blood of the demon god, continuously fill the acupoints, and use a large amount of the essence of primordial energy to nurture them, allowing him to enter the second level.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are divided into six levels, each level consisting of six transformations.

Six times six equals thirty-six!

The six acupoints can complete a simple cycle.

"Very good, the first transformation is complete. For your next cultivation, focus on nurturing the acupoints and refining your magical power. Do not consider opening more acupoints until you have condensed the demon core," the voice of the Qianlan Demon God came from the ring, pointing out the direction for Yang Qifeng's next cultivation.

"Understood," Yang Qifeng nodded in agreement.

Yang Qifeng was well aware of the dangers of opening acupoints and would not attempt it again without being fully prepared.

"Go and practice. I will sink into a deep sleep. Wake me after you have condensed the core," the Qianlan Demon God's voice showed fatigue. Without waiting for Yang Qifeng's response, the metallic luster of the ring disappeared, and it became dim and ordinary, like a piece of jewelry.

"Are you still there?" Yang Qifeng called out a few times, but there was no response, indicating that the Qianlan Demon God had fallen into a deep sleep.

Lowering his head, he looked at the ring. The Qianlan Demon God had invested a lot in him. A drop of demon god essence blood, which might not have been much during the Qianlan Demon God's peak, could be quickly replenished. However, now, in his current state of decline, a drop of demon god essence blood was extremely precious.

From Yang Qifeng's perspective, the Qianlan Demon God was in a very dire situation, having lost his true form and only remaining as a spirit. His essence blood must have been very limited.

Even with such limited essence blood, the Qianlan Demon God had given it to him. If it were Yang Qifeng, he might not have been willing to give it to someone else, as this essence blood was the capital for the Qianlan Demon God to recondense his true form. Without the essence blood, although it was not impossible to recondense the true form, it would have no connection to the Bipang, and it would just be a physical body, not a true form.

This act moved Yang Qifeng, making him more determined to help the Qianlan Demon God recondense his true form.

Yang Qifeng slowly closed his eyes and began to devour the flames.

A swirling vortex centered on Yang Qifeng began to disrupt the world of flames.

With the six acupoints forming a cycle and the presence of the Bipang's shadow, Yang Qifeng was no longer worried that the transformed essence of primordial energy would burst him.

Yang Qifeng was not foolish. At first, he could not control it. According to the Qianlan Demon God's original plan, opening thirty-six acupoints would result in an immense amount of transformed essence of primordial energy, which Yang Qifeng could not handle, leading to the danger of collapse.

Now, with the essence of primordial energy under his control, when he felt the acupoints were fully filled, he decisively stopped transforming the essence of primordial energy and began to refine his magical power.

Before achieving immortality, when the magical power value reached 9,000 years, it would be difficult to make further progress through ordinary refinement. To continue growing, one had to constantly consume and replenish their magical power.

However, when Yang Qifeng began to refine his magical power, he suddenly realized that his magical power had reached 9,900 years, increasing by 900 years.

Initially surprised, he quickly understood that this was a benefit of cultivating the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

He sighed inwardly. No wonder the cultivation of both the spirit and the body was so powerful. What would normally take daily hard work and nightly refinement to achieve a slight increase in magical power years had suddenly surged by 900 years, which could not help but make Yang Qifeng marvel.

Yang Qifeng also knew that the cultivation of both the spirit and the body was a great path, but few chose to do so. One reason was the limitation of cultivation techniques. This significant improvement was due to the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang being a profound method of body cultivation. If a simpler method were used, the effect would not be as noticeable.

Another reason was the principle of specialization. The path of specialization was easier to follow. Those who cultivated both the spirit and the body had strong combat power but were burdened by their physical bodies, and their lifespan was one-third shorter than those who specialized in cultivating the spirit.

Many chose lifespan over combat power.

Eternal freedom rather than dominating the world.
