Chapter 50 Perfect Innate Cycle, Acupoints Automatically Absorb Qi

"no problem!"

Seeing the Innate Primordial True Skill appear on the panel, Zhou Qing nodded.

Once it appears on the panel, he can quickly improve the level of this technique by pouring in Dao Source Points for arduous cultivation.

"Mr. Luo, why is the only method available to open the spiritual aperture?"

Zhou Qing asked.

The appearance of the Innate Primordial True Skill on the panel indicates that the skill is genuine.

However, Zhou Qing had purchased information about the Innate Primordial True Skill from Feng Manlou. A complete innate skill requires the methods to open spiritual apertures, condense qi into qi, and finally refine qi into elixir.

The method of opening the spiritual aperture corresponds to the first to third level of the innate realm; the method of condensing qi into qi corresponds to the fourth to sixth level of the innate realm; and the method of refining qi into elixir corresponds to the seventh to ninth level of the innate realm.

"I remember there are two copies of the Primordial Chaos True Art within the Vajra Sect, but since I had just entered the Primordial Realm, my father only showed me the Method of Opening Spiritual Apertures in the Primordial Chaos True Art. It can open 108 spiritual apertures and cultivate a perfect Primordial Cycle, while ordinary Primordial Techniques can only open 36 spiritual apertures and cultivate a minor Primordial Cycle." Luo Xi said, "The other Primordial Chaos True Art that I haven't seen should record the Method of Condensing Qi into Gang."

"I see." Zhou Qing nodded, then said, "Mr. Luo, you should go and rest first. I will send someone to inform you when you are going to the Vajra Gate."

"it is good!"

Luo Xi nodded and left with a yamen runner.

"Enhance your Innate Primordial True Skill!"

In the main hall, only Zhou Qing remained. He poured all seven Dao Source Points he had accumulated during this period into the Innate Primordial True Technique.

[You have begun cultivating the Primordial Chaos True Art. According to the Primordial Chaos True Art, you circulate Primordial True Qi to open Primordial Spiritual Apertures. With each opening of a Spiritual Aperture, the speed at which you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increases by one unit.]

[After a year of arduous cultivation, you have condensed the seed of Primordial Chaos, opened thirty-six innate spiritual apertures, and completed the Lesser Innate Cycle. Your speed of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has greatly increased, from refining only one strand of innate true energy per hour to refining fifteen strands per hour. You are tireless in your cultivation, working day and night, and can now refine one hundred and eighty strands of innate true energy per day.]

[In the second year of arduous cultivation, the seed of the Primordial Chaos Realm has transformed into its rudimentary form. You have opened seventy-two innate spiritual apertures, completed the Great Primordial Cycle, and can refine thirty strands of innate true energy per hour, totaling three hundred and sixty strands per day.]

[After three years of arduous cultivation, you have reached the Heavenly Fusion stage in the rudimentary form of the Primordial Chaos Realm. You have opened up 108 innate spiritual apertures, completed a perfect innate cycle, and the apertures automatically absorb Qi, refining 300 strands of innate true Qi per hour.]

[After seven years of arduous cultivation... your dantian and 108 spiritual apertures are full of true qi, and you have reached the third level of the Innate Realm.]

Zhou Qing looked at the panel.

His cultivation level reached the third level of the Innate Realm.

Most importantly, one hundred and eight spiritual apertures have been opened, completing a perfect innate cycle. Without conscious breathing, a gentle flow of energy naturally surrounds the body, and the one hundred and eight spiritual apertures automatically absorb energy. This automatic absorption of energy through the spiritual apertures is a characteristic unique to the Primordial Chaos True Skill, or rather, a feature unique to the completion of a perfect innate cycle through the opening of one hundred and eight spiritual apertures.

The usual innate cultivation methods open up thirty-six spiritual apertures to complete the minor innate cycle, but the Innate Primordial True Skill can open up one hundred and eight spiritual apertures.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce in the mortal world. Even if one opens up 108 spiritual apertures that can automatically absorb energy, one cannot absorb much spiritual energy. Moreover, opening up spiritual apertures also requires a lot of true energy and time. Therefore, more than 99% of innate grandmasters choose to cultivate techniques that open up 36 spiritual apertures.

"Having reached the third level of the Innate Realm, the next step is to condense Qi into罡 (罡 is a type of internal energy)!"

Zhou Qing pondered to himself.

Breaking through from the third to the fourth level of the Innate Realm is called "condensing Qi into Gang," which involves fusing the true Qi within the body with the power of intention to condense it into true Gang.

Once true qi is condensed, under the blessing of true qi power, both physical strength and the released power of intent will be amplified three to ten times.

For example, both the third and fourth level Grandmasters of the Innate Realm cultivate sword intent at the Fusion Heaven stage. However, the fourth level Grandmaster of the Innate Realm has condensed the True Qi of the Sword Dao, so the power of the sword intent that he unleashes is three times that of the third level Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

If one reaches the fifth level of the Innate Realm, the increase is fivefold.

The sixth level of innate ability is a tenfold increase.

However, without the Qi Condensation Technique from the Innate Primordial True Art, Zhou Qing would need to consume countless Dao Source Points to break through to the fourth level of the Innate True Qi Realm.

Zhou Qing deliberately stayed in Ping'an County for five days and obtained five more Dao Source Points. He poured all five Dao Source Points into the Innate Primordial True Skill, but failed to condense the Primordial True Qi.

"It seems we still have to make a trip to the Vajra Sect." Zhou Qing immediately summoned Luo Xi and asked directly, "What is the cultivation level of the Vajra Sect's leader?"

“Three years ago, that old bastard Meng Qishan opened up twenty-eight spiritual apertures.” When mentioning the sect leader of the Vajra Sect, Luo Xi’s eyes revealed hatred. “In the past three years, he has monopolized the spiritual land and probably opened up thirty-six spiritual apertures, completing the Lesser Innate Cycle. However, without the assistance of corresponding spiritual objects, the chance of breaking through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm and condensing Qi into Gang is less than one percent.”

According to ancient texts, only by completing the Great Innate Cycle can one condense Qi into a powerful force and break through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm without relying on spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

"A sacred land?" Zhou Qing exclaimed in surprise, "The Vajra Sect actually possesses a sacred land?"

"What the Vajra Sect possesses is only a low-grade spiritual land, which can only supply a limited amount of spiritual energy. It can only accommodate one to three Grandmasters below the fourth level of the Innate Realm for cultivation. Once this number is exceeded, the spiritual energy supply will be insufficient, and excessive absorption of spiritual energy will lead to the depletion of the spiritual veins."

“Originally, the Vajra Sect’s spiritual grounds could accommodate the daily cultivation of two Innate Grandmasters, but because my father forcibly attempted to break through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm and failed to condense his Qi into Gang, the spiritual veins were damaged, so it can only accommodate the daily cultivation of one Innate Grandmaster.”

“A medium-level spiritual land can accommodate about five to ten Grandmasters below the fourth level of the Innate Realm for cultivation. However, medium-level spiritual lands are almost all occupied by top sects and major schools that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.”

"Furthermore, medium-level spiritual lands give birth to spiritual treasures every hundred years, so these top sects and major schools basically don't need to worry about the extinction of innate grandmasters."

"As for superior spiritual lands, there are only three in the entire Great Xuan Dynasty, which are occupied by the Great Xuan Royal Family, Zhenwu City, and Yutian Sect respectively. Outsiders should not even think about getting their hands on them."

Luo Xi explained.
