Chapter 32: Cleansing the Meridians

Chu Yang has only just broken through to the Warrior realm, how could he force out the impurities in his meridians?

What kind of monstrous disciple have I taken in? Meng Chaoran was completely stunned! For someone who has always been calm and indifferent, to be shocked to this extent is absolutely unprecedented in the Sky Tower!

If Wu Yunliang and others knew, they would probably drop their eyes in shock!

When a Warrior breaks through, they usually force out a small amount of impurities from their body, and these impurities are acquired later in life, known as "Transformation of the Body." As a Warrior progresses from level one to level nine, they basically remove the surface impurities from their body.

Then comes the Martial Artist; when a Martial Artist breaks through, they also force out impurities from their body, making it more suitable for cultivation. The impurities forced out by a Martial Artist are from the internal organs, and these are also acquired later in life. This step is called "Transformation of the Body."

After that, when a Martial Ancestor breaks through, the impurities forced out are from the meridians, and these impurities are also acquired later in life. At this stage, one truly reaches the middle stage of cultivation. This step is called "Cleansing the Meridians."

Above the Martial Ancestor, when a Martial Venerable cultivates, they force out the deepest impurities from their body, including those in the bone marrow that are detrimental to cultivation. This step is called "Bone Cleansing," and it is also the final step in body refinement!

Now, Chu Yang has only just broken through to the Warrior realm, yet he has already reached the stage of Cleansing the Meridians. How could Meng Chaoran not be shocked? After all, Meng Chaoran himself has only just reached the later stage of Cleansing the Meridians!

Chu Yang let out a deep breath, finally breaking through to the Warrior realm! This means that as long as he obtains the first section of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he can immediately cultivate the Nine Tribulations Nine Heavens Divine Art!

Meng Chaoran was surprised, but Chu Yang was not at all surprised. The set of movements he persisted in doing every morning was constantly expelling impurities from his body. The surface impurities, muscle impurities, and bone impurities had long been mostly expelled.

These movements came from the Nine Tribulations Sword, directly pointing to the mysteries of the human body. Although it was just one set of movements, it could make the entire body move from the inside out, and simultaneously generate several times the compressive force to expel impurities!

This seemingly ordinary set of movements is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold and is a treasure for martial artists!

Chu Yang stood up, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his upper body slowly leaning back, his waist bending as if it were broken, his head bending all the way to his legs. Then, he reached his hands under his crotch, grabbed his chin, and with a sudden effort, his body suddenly bounced up from the ground in a spherical shape, spinning in the air.

Meng Chaoran noticed that while spinning in the air, every part of his body was still moving in this posture, from his neck to his toes, making a series of popping sounds, one after another.

Meng Chaoran was inwardly shocked. Although he did not know the effect of this movement, he knew it was extremely difficult. If he were to try it for the first time, he would definitely not be able to do it!

Chu Yang spun in the air for seven or eight circles before landing, rolling on the ground in a circular shape, and then suddenly extending his body, like a chick breaking out of its shell. The popping sounds from his joints became even more intense.

Then, he slowly stood up, his body in a nearly wobbly posture, his legs trembling hundreds of times as he stood up, each tremor accompanied by a crisp sound from deep within his bones.

Finally, he stood steady, the popping sounds from his joints weakening, and his arms slowly extended in a strange posture, another series of popping sounds coming from his arms!

*Pop, pop, pop...*

Meng Chaoran was almost stunned, and he finally vaguely understood the meaning of this set of movements. But the more he thought about it, the more he was shocked!

This set of movements is clearly the trajectory of life!

Each movement, though seemingly strange and incomprehensible, is filled with the traces of the great Dao!

From nothing to something, forming an egg, gestating, breaking the shell, standing up...

This is the life trajectory of birds!

Chu Yang performed four movements and then stopped.

This is also a set of movements contained within the Nine Tribulations Sword. One can only practice it after reaching the Warrior realm; if a Martial Disciple were to practice this set of movements, they would likely break all their bones.

The pain one must endure while practicing this set of movements is almost as severe as breaking bones, and it is continuous, penetrating to the bone. But throughout the process, Chu Yang did not make a single sound.

Making a sound would dissipate one's vital energy, reducing the effectiveness.

After rebirth, Chu Yang had already made up his mind: either not to do it, or to do it to the best of his ability!

Taking a deep breath, sweat suddenly gushed out all over his body. The ground was quickly soaked with sweat.

"Master, these four movements are named 'Heaven and Earth Boundless Dao.' There are too many mysteries, and I have not fully understood them. Please, Master, correct me!" Chu Yang said without turning around.

He knew his master must be protecting him, even though he did not notice it. Meng Chaoran was definitely there. In the previous life, it was only after four years that he learned that every time his three disciples broke through, Meng Chaoran, though seemingly indifferent, was actually more concerned than they were! He would always be on full alert, secretly protecting them.

When they broke through, they only needed to focus on their cultivation, but their master had to endure for several days in secret.

But Meng Chaoran never said anything. He was a man of action, not words. By the time Chu Yang understood his master's good intentions, it was already too late.

In this life, how could he miss it?

Meng Chaoran chuckled and walked out of the purple bamboo forest, asking, "How did you know I was here?"

Chu Yang smiled, his eyes filled with deep emotion, and said, "Master, when have you ever not been there when we broke through? We have never been disturbed during our cultivation, and when we broke through, there was not even a single insect or mosquito around us, absolute silence. In this place full of such things, isn't that surprising?"

Meng Chaoran smiled in relief and said, "Your breakthrough is your own effort, and I was just secretly watching."

Meng Chaoran did not say it, but he was deeply moved. He knew that Chu Yang's set of movements was deliberately performed for him to see, so that he could also practice and improve his self-protection abilities.

Such a set of movements, filled with the traces of the great Dao, would be of great benefit to his understanding of martial arts. He did not say anything, but he secretly remembered it.

This set of movements is definitely a treasure, and he did not know where Chu Yang had learned it from. But Meng Chaoran did not ask. Everyone has their secrets, and he would not ask if Chu Yang did not want to reveal them. He respected his disciple's privacy.

Chu Yang is my disciple. Knowing this is enough!

Meng Chaoran stood for a while and then left. He knew that Chu Yang had been on the verge of breaking through for several days. He had been observing Chu Yang's movements every day and was already mentally exhausted.

But after breaking through, Chu Yang had no desire to sleep.

It was late at night, and Chu Yang sat alone on the mountain peak, hugging his knees, looking at the dark night, his heart surging with emotion.

Qingwu, I have reached the Warrior realm! Soon, I will be able to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Nine Heavens, and have the strength to protect and care for you. I will not let you suffer any harm.

Where are you now?

Qingwu is only ten years old at this time, Chu Yang thought, and couldn't help but smile gently. What does Qingwu look like at this age? Is she still a little girl with braids?

In the previous life, he met Mo Qingwu nine years later. At that time, Mo Qingwu was nineteen, and he was twenty-five.

Thinking of Mo Qingwu at that time, Chu Yang's thoughts drifted far away. He remembered that Mo Qingwu also liked purple bamboo, and out of this childhood warmth, he always chose to cultivate in a place with such bamboo.

Thus, in the purple bamboo forest on the Tianwu Peak of the Nirvana Mountain, he and Mo Qingwu met for the first time.

And in the end, when Mo Qingwu was attacked, it was also near the purple bamboo forest on Tianwu Peak. There were several bamboo houses that Mo Qingwu had built herself...

There were a few young bamboo plants that Mo Qingwu had carefully planted along the path to welcome him. She once said, "Chu Yang, if I die one day, please burn my body to ashes and scatter them on this path, planting my heart and soul on this path, just so that when you walk here, you can step on me. I am willing to let you trample everything of mine, even if you are not coming to see me, but just to see these purple bamboos... but please let me feel that you have come, that's all."

Qingwu, Qingwu...

Chu Yang called out in his heart, his eyes filled with longing and expectation, a gentle smile on his face!
