As the cherry petals danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

"Qian Kun Chapter, Pulse Refinement Technique!"

"The most basic level of the Supreme Divine Technique!"

Looking at the true text of the technique in his mind, Ye Chen's heart pounded wildly.

He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to unlock the first level of the technique within three days, but unexpectedly, he obtained the first level of the divine technique in just a moment!

The moment Ye Chen obtained the "Pulse Refinement Technique," a tremendous repelling force was generated within the entire Star Tower. This force directly pushed Ye Chen's mind out of the Star Tower and back into his dantian.

Glancing at the seven-story treasure tower still standing in his dantian, Ye Chen's mind stirred, and all his consciousness returned to his body.

In the small room, Ye Chen opened his eyes.

At this moment, the "Pulse Refinement Technique" was clearly etched in Ye Chen's mind, telling him that everything that had happened before was not a dream!

"It seems that I have obtained the first level of the technique, but I can no longer enter the Star Tower for now."

"According to the text in the tower, only by refining the first level of the technique to its utmost can the next level be unlocked."

"So now, I will start refining the 'Pulse Refinement Technique'!"

Given its incredible nature, Ye Chen, who urgently needed to enhance his strength, naturally wanted to practice it as soon as possible.

This time, he did not sit cross-legged on the bed but got up, washed up briefly, and then sat cross-legged in the room to study the "Pulse Refinement Technique."

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Outside the room, it was pitch black, and a heavy rain was pouring down.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Ye Chen's mind was clear and calm.

The techniques of the "Pulse Refinement Technique" flashed through his mind, and the more he looked, the more he found the technique profound.

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

"This technique completely breaks the cultivation methods of the Barbaric Continent and is a brand new cultivation method!"

On the Barbaric Continent, martial cultivators continuously refine their true qi, allowing it to enter the dantian, and rely on the power of true qi to strengthen themselves.

However, the first level of the "Pulse Refinement Technique" directly uses true qi to refine the physical meridians!

"The Pulse Refinement Technique refines the entire body's meridians and is divided into three major stages. The first stage is the refinement of the 'Qi Meridian'; the second stage is the refinement of the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians'; the third stage is the refinement of the 'Thirty-Three Wheel Meridians.'"

"Only by refining all thirty-three wheel meridians can the Pulse Refinement Technique be considered fully refined, and the next level of the 'Qian Kun Chapter' can be unlocked."

Looking at the meridians described in the technique, Ye Chen's mind stirred.

The first stage of the Pulse Refinement Technique, the refinement of the "Qi Meridian," is something that martial cultivators on the Barbaric Continent have also practiced. The martial cultivators on the Barbaric Continent use this "Qi Meridian" to circulate true qi into the dantian.

However, the remaining "Eight Extraordinary Meridians" and "Thirty-Three Wheel Meridians" do not exist on the Barbaric Continent, at least not as far as Ye Chen knew.

Ye Chen guided the true qi in his dantian, following the technique of the "Pulse Refinement Technique," to refine the "Qi Meridian."

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Strands of true qi flew out from the dantian, flowing rapidly along the Qi Meridian. In just a moment, these true qi had completed a large cycle within the Qi Meridian.

The Qi Meridian was already open, so there was no difficulty in refining the first stage.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen guided the true qi toward the "Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

Then, Ye Chen completely immersed himself in the refinement of the "Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, and the true qi slowly flowed back into the dantian. He immediately became fully awake.

Looking at the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the four major meridians—Ren, Du, Chong, and Dai—had been thoroughly opened in this first refinement.

Whether it was due to his newly reborn soul or the unique nature of his body, his body, which had previously been unable to advance in cultivation, was now perfectly suited to the "Pulse Refinement Technique." In the first refinement, he had already completed half of the "Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

Just as Ye Chen was about to feel the changes in his body after refining the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, something even more extraordinary happened.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

In the small room, with Ye Chen's body as the center, countless true qi from the heavens and earth rushed into his body like a thousand rivers converging into the sea.

Most of these true qi entered through the four opened Eight Extraordinary Meridians, while a small portion entered through the Qi Meridian.

The massive amount of true qi even enveloped Ye Chen's entire body.

This amount of true qi was more than a thousand times what Ye Chen usually attracted during his cultivation!

Ye Chen never expected that the meridians opened by the "Pulse Refinement Technique" would make his body attract true qi to such a terrifying degree.

This was simply unheard of!

As Ye Chen was in shock, countless true qi flowed through the "Ren, Du, Chong, Dai, and Qi Meridians" in his body, and then fiercely rushed into his dantian.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

The massive amount of true qi merged into Ye Chen's dantian, and the small true qi vortex in his dantian rapidly expanded.

In an instant, it had grown by more than ten times!

From the looks of it, the first true qi vortex was clearly unable to contain so much true qi.

This was clearly a breakthrough to the "Second Level of True Qi"!

Ye Chen was extremely excited.

In the two and a half years at Qingyun Sect, he had never reached this point. Now, unexpectedly, just by refining the "Pulse Refinement Technique," he had received an unexpected surprise.

Suppressing his wildly beating heart, Ye Chen followed the true qi technique, pressing the massive amount of true qi into the true qi vortex.

As the true qi technique pressed down, the true qi within the vortex boiled like boiling water, and countless true qi began to leap wildly.

*Peng!*

In the midst of this leaping, the entire true qi vortex split into two.

The second true qi vortex was clearly much larger than the first, and the true qi inside was still leaping wildly, seemingly unable to stabilize.

It seemed that the "Second Level of True Qi" was not the limit.

Ye Chen's heart was about to burst.

"Could it even break through to the Third Level of True Qi?" He almost couldn't believe it.

In Qingyun Sect, even the most outstanding geniuses, Ye Chen had never heard of them instantly breaking through from the First Level of True Qi to the Third Level of True Qi.

Being able to advance two levels in a year was already considered a genius in the sect. Advancing two levels in a day was simply unheard of!

*Peng!*

In Ye Chen's disbelief, his second true qi vortex split again, becoming two.

*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*

Including the first true qi vortex, three true qi vortices rotated in his dantian, finally stabilizing the true qi rushing into the dantian.

Three true qi vortices, the Third Level of True Qi!

Ye Chen had truly reached the Third Level of True Qi!

At this moment, the amount of true qi in his body had increased by more than ten times compared to before. With a mental command, the true qi flowed throughout his body, filling him with boundless strength.

Ye Chen clearly felt his strength increase.

"Third Level of True Qi, I have entered the Third Level of True Qi!"

"At this speed, in half a year, I can enter the Fifth Level of True Qi and become a formal disciple of Qingyun Sect. This dream is really possible!"

Clenching his fists tightly, feeling the powerful strength within his body, Ye Chen was filled with confidence.

"All of this is thanks to the 'Pulse Refinement Technique.' It truly lives up to being the Supreme Divine Technique. Just the first level is so powerful."

"It seems that as the Purple Star Master said, reaching the fourth chapter, dominating the entire Barbaric Continent, is possible!"

Looking at the three true qi vortices in his dantian and the Star Tower standing in the dantian, Ye Chen was full of confidence in his future!

"Let's refine again and see if I can absorb so much true qi again."

Ye Chen had heard that many techniques were most effective during the first refinement, and subsequent refinements would return to normal. Therefore, he did not expect that breaking through two levels in a day would become a regular occurrence.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Ye Chen once again circulated the true qi technique and began to refine the true qi from the heavens and earth.

As expected, this time, much less true qi entered his body. However, compared to usual, the amount of true qi attracted by the five major meridians was still more than ten times greater.

"Compared to the usual amount of true qi, this is already very good!"

"Even compared to the formal disciples of Qingyun Sect, my cultivation speed is not slow."

"This is just the result of opening four of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. If I continue to refine the 'Pulse Refinement Technique,' my true qi cultivation speed will likely continue to increase!"

After refining for a while, his meridians were already somewhat tired, so Ye Chen stopped refining.

He stood up, feeling satisfied.

Pushing open the door, the sky outside was already bright, and the rain had stopped. The air after the rain was incredibly fresh.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Ye Chen looked out beyond the small courtyard.

This was the first time he had observed the new world outside the room, the world of the Barbaric Continent.

As he was observing, a series of curses came from outside the courtyard, and then the courtyard gate was kicked open with a *bang*.

A large group of people walked into the courtyard from outside.

Looking at the two people leading the group, a hint of a mysterious smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips.

I was just about to look for you.

You came just in time!
