Yuan Zun: Starting with the Eight Ancestral Symbols

Chapter 11: Spiritual Cultivation

"Brother Chen, has your first meridian been opened?" Su Youwei asked with surprise when she noticed Mu Chen's breakthrough.

"Well, it's connected. I feel good."

Mu Chen nodded, and with a thought, the first meridian emanated pure devouring power. The source energy from the surrounding heaven and earth entered his body through his pores, making his skin emit a faint luster.

This is to draw Qi into the body. Before the meridians are opened, it requires the Qi-drawing technique to do this. But now, it can be done with the help of the first meridian.

"Congratulations." Su Youwei smiled sweetly and was happy for Muchen.

"It's just the beginning. What's there to congratulate? It took you less than ten days to open up the first meridian. It's much faster than mine." Much Chen tapped Su Youwei's nose and rolled his eyes.

Su Youwei's talent is really not to be underestimated. He had the cheat of Devouring Ancestral Talisman, which took him half a month, while Su Youwei relied on a Qi-inducing technique to open up the first meridian in less than ten days.

"Brother Chen, a slow pulse opening speed doesn't mean that your strength will be weak." Su Youwei smiled embarrassedly. She didn't know how her pulse opened so quickly.

As I practiced, my meridians were opened. It was much simpler than I imagined.

"Okay, Youwei, you should get familiar with this power. In a few days, we will enter the Great Zhou Palace. Then we will have a place to obtain cultivation resources and source techniques." Mu Chen said.

I forgot to ask Zhou Qing for some handy source techniques. It seems I can only go back to the Great Zhou Palace to find out.

Su Youwei nodded. She was also curious about what the Great Zhou Mansion looked like. There were many legends related to the Great Zhou Mansion among the people. Some geniuses from common people joined the Mansion and finally changed their fate.

"Xiao Diao, please lead the way to the place where we can train our spirit and soul." Muchen's consciousness entered the ancestral stone space.

"Soul, mental strength, almost the same, but are you sure? The way of training the soul will cause your soul to feel intense pain. If you can't hold on, your spirit will collapse." Xiao Diao said seriously.

He had tried it before when his body was still there, and it was so painful that he wanted to die. After his body blew up, he didn't dare to try it with the demon spirit for fear of accidentally losing his soul.

That kind of training directly affects the pain of the soul, which is more terrible than the pain of the body.

"Well, if the soul is stronger, it will be much easier to obtain the certification of the ancestral talisman." Mu Chen said.

The reason why he was not in a hurry to activate the Devouring Ancestral Talisman was because in order to control the Ancestral Talisman, he needed the approval of the Ancestral Talisman. Even if there was a certain degree of compatibility with him, the difficulty would only be reduced.

At least we have to let the invisible soul reach the realm of emptiness.

"Then follow closely and don't get lost."

The little mink nodded, turned around and flew away, and Muchen followed behind. This place is indeed quite complicated, and he will find a chance to explore it later.

The spirit of the ancestral stone, Yan, is now seriously injured and in a deep sleep, and no one knows when he will wake up.

The route in the darkness was very twisted. Mu Chen followed Xiao Diao and finally came to a white light. Two huge crystal grinding wheels were slowly rotating there, emitting a special kind of fluctuation.

When Muchen saw this millstone, he thought of the Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Method. It seemed to be a millstone as well, and both were effective in training the spirit/soul.

"Spiritual millstone, boy, I wonder if you have the courage to try it?" The little mink was far away, pointing its little paw at the crystal millstone.

He was afraid that he would be sucked in accidentally and the demon would be crushed to pieces.

Muchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the junction of the millstones. As the millstones rotated, white light condensed there. At the same time, the space also showed signs of distortion due to the rotation of the crystal millstones.

“Practicing mental power here, which is what this world calls the soul, has very significant effects. But the prerequisite is that you can survive it, otherwise it will damage the origin of your soul, and in serious cases it will leave sequelae.” “Mr. Diao doesn’t know who came up with this crazy way of practicing mental power. It’s really painful to have your spirit crushed. Anyway, I don’t want to use it.” Little Diao said fearfully.

"It sounds interesting. It's a method of cultivation that requires breaking down and then building up again." Mu Chen said.

This method of training the soul is more shocking than I had imagined.

Even if you use your toes to think, you will know that using this to practice the soul will be very painful, and you will have to endure the fear of having your soul crushed.

"Are you really coming?"

Muchen nodded. Now that it had come to this, there was no reason to retreat.

"Oh, Master Diao really underestimated you." Little Diao said in surprise. This requires great courage.

You don't have to work so hard, you can go slower. Master Diao doesn't want to call you boss so early.

"let's start."

Muchen took a deep breath and walked towards the crystal millstone. When he reached the joint of the millstones, an irresistible force suddenly appeared and enveloped his soul.

He could feel that his soul was breaking apart bit by bit. The pain was indescribable. Even if his body was pierced by a sharp blade, it would not be as painful as this.

The millstone rotated very slowly. It was the first time that Much Chen felt that time was so long. The severe pain made his face distorted. In an instant, cracks appeared on his soul.

After experiencing it himself, Muchen understood why Xiao Diao was so afraid. This kind of pain made people want to die on the spot. If he hadn't tried his best to keep his mind clear, he would have fainted from the pain by now.

Click, click, click!
As the millstone rotated, more and more cracks appeared on Muchen's body, and finally it exploded and turned into countless spiritual light spots.

Xiao Diao watched very calmly, as he had experienced this kind of situation before.

Just as the soul exploded, a ball of white light emerged from the mental millstone, wrapping the soul light spot. The other scattered light spots gathered towards the mind and finally returned to their original form.

Before Muchen could come to his senses, the familiar severe pain came again, still the same feeling as before.

"Oh!"

Not long after, the recovered soul exploded again, and white light appeared on the millstone again, and the light spots of the soul gathered and recovered again.

Muchen repeated the process of crushing and recovering. Although it was extremely painful, he could feel that his soul was indeed slowly solidifying and becoming stronger. He could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid Muchen looks normal, but he's actually very crazy." Xiao Diao was watching the fun. This kind of pain was something he had experienced before, so he had the most say. It was not something that normal people would experience.

Xiao Diao still admires Muchen's perseverance. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely achieve great things.

He was also very curious about how many times Muchen could last. He had tried more than twenty times before and had already reached his limit.

……

"Ninety-nine times, the virtual realm is reached!" After an unknown amount of time, a weak but joyful voice sounded, and Mu Chen walked out slowly.

The invisible soul also turned into a transparent color at this moment. This was because his soul realm had reached the initial stage of the Void Realm and was no longer in the invisible state as before.
