Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 112 Enlightenment

After entrusting all matters in the West District to him, Chen Feng left the hall and returned to his residence. He went straight into his quiet room, which he usually secluded himself in, closed the door, and locked it, completely shutting out the noise from the outside world.

The appointed time to take office is in three days. Feiyu Ferry has always been a mixed bag, with the Canal Gang holding sway. Who knows how many more Enlightenment Realm experts will be sent here? Without sufficient strength, the position of Grand Hall Master is not secure at all.

Chen Feng knew perfectly well that his seclusion was to use the foundation he had accumulated to solidify his roots.

In the quiet room in the side courtyard of the house.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the futon, his aura as calm and steady as a deep pool of still water, without the slightest ripple.

This is a sign that one's aura has been condensed to its extreme.

The perfect true energy within his dantian surged like a tidal wave, ready to break through its shackles and unlock the gates to the Opening Realm at a single command.

The nine acupoints are like nine heavenly gates, standing between the condensation of qi and the opening of the orifices. The opening of the orifices must be done in one go without stopping.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, focused his mind on his dantian, and stirred up his true energy.

"rise!"

A low shout exploded in his heart, and the dantian acupoint was easily broken through. True qi rushed straight up along the meridians, and the first thing to be affected was the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows!

The ancestral aperture is the abode of the soul, its walls as hard as black iron, yet it is as fragile as thin ice before his vast true energy.

With a barely audible cracking sound, the ancestral aperture shattered!

In an instant, a cool breeze rushed into his mind. Chen Feng felt his consciousness surge and his five senses instantly heightened. The faint sound of the candle flame flickering and the soft murmur of his own blood flowing clearly entered his mind.

But he dared not pause for even a moment, his true energy flowing smoothly down the Du Meridian to the next acupoint—the Jade Pillow!

Under the surging true energy, it burst open in an instant. The true energy continued to descend, rushing through the spine and coccyx, unstoppable all the way, and all three gates above the Du meridian were opened!

Immediately afterwards, the vital energy flowed back along the Ren meridian and headed straight for the heart.

The heart orifice is the hub of qi and blood, and the walls of the orifice are extremely dangerous; if one is not careful, qi and blood will flow in reverse.

However, Chen Feng's true energy was already perfect and flawless, and he could circulate it as easily as using his own arms. With a "boom", his heart aperture opened in response!

Immediately afterwards, the true energy seemed to have found an outlet, rushing straight down through the Mingmen acupoint, and the Mingmen gate between the waist and abdomen broke in response!

Seven of the nine orifices have been broken, leaving only the Yongquan point and the Lingqiao point.

However, the true energy is also slowly consumed by the constant impact. Each time it passes through an acupoint, a portion is intercepted to prevent the acupoint from closing again.

Chen Feng gritted his teeth and mobilized all the true energy in his body. The vortex of energy in his dantian spun wildly, and a continuous stream of true energy surged down the meridians of his legs, rushing straight to the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet.

Without any suspense, the Yongquan acupoint opens!

At this point, of the nine orifices, only the last one remains—the spiritual orifice.

The Lingqiao (spiritual aperture) is located at the top of Baihui (GV20) and is considered the key to the interaction between the soul and heaven and earth. It is also the most difficult barrier to overcome among the nine apertures.

Chen Feng held back, mobilizing all his inner energy and gathering it into an unprecedented torrent that surged straight towards his spiritual aperture!

"break!"

With a low shout, a torrent of internal energy crashed into the barrier of the spiritual aperture.

Click—

After a crisp sound, there was no further obstruction, and the spiritual aperture opened instantly!

All nine acupoints are now open!

Within Chen Feng's body, true energy flowed through the nine orifices into the dantian, and then circulated throughout the body via the meridians, forming a perfect cycle.

A calm yet powerful aura slowly rose from Chen Feng's body, but he instantly concealed it, revealing not a trace of it.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before he returned to normal.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a wisp of pure true energy emanated from his fingertips, flowing slowly in the candlelight, gentle yet containing power several times greater than before.

The blood and qi surged throughout the body like thunder, flowing freely between the nine orifices, perfectly blending with the physical body and true qi, without any stagnation.

[Entering the Realm of Enlightenment]

[Experience +5000]

Chen Feng waved his hand, summoning the system panel—

[Experience]: 48997

[Techniques]: Canglang Technique (Advanced Level), Dinghai Iron Armor Technique (Basic Understanding), Five Elements Technique (Complete), Splashing Ink Sword Technique (Complete), Taiji Profound Origin Technique (Complete) ———— (Expand)

By breaking through first and then adding points, Chen Feng can use the system to solidify his foundation and avoid a superficial cultivation level.

That's why he didn't choose to break through immediately when he reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.

After reading the subsequent content of "Canglang Jue", the panel will change accordingly, and you can continue to add points to it. [Canglang Jue]: Mastery (0/8000)

The required experience had doubled, but Chen Feng did not hesitate at all, pouring all the experience points he had accumulated over a long period of time into it.

In an instant, a powerful warm current suddenly exploded from his dantian, flowing through his meridians and wafting through his limbs and bones, causing his aura to rise steadily and firmly stabilize at the Opening Acupoints Realm.

This directly saves him the trouble of refining his artistic realm.

Chen Feng felt his meridians were completely clear, and the quality of his internal energy became increasingly pure and profound, like rivers and seas converging, deep and restrained.

[Experience]: 40997

[Canglang Technique]: Perfect (0/?)

"What does this question mark mean?" Chen Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, his mind activating the Canglang Technique, wanting to continue investing in experience, but he found that there was no way to do so. The text on the panel was grayed out, and he could not add points.

So close, just one step away from perfection, it's making my heart itch with anticipation.

He took out the copy again and looked through it. He found that there was nothing missing. This copy was the complete "Canglang Manual", which also contained the cultivation content after entering the Enlightenment Realm.

Mark each of the 108 acupoints in the body that need to be opened to reach the Enlightenment Realm. If it is the Five Elements Technique, once you enter the Enlightenment Realm, you have to figure it out on your own.

"That's not right. What's missing? If I can't add points, I can't continue to improve with the help of the Canglang Manual..." Chen Feng pondered.

He had a vague feeling that the final layer of the Canglang Technique was extremely important, and that it was the essence of the entire technique.

Could it be related to the path to becoming a grandmaster?

Chen Feng had no idea.

He only had a superficial understanding of the Grandmaster, only knowing that Flow was related to the Grandmaster, and that Flow was still flashing on his panel.

Since leaving Pingcheng, he has not faced a life-or-death crisis for a long time. Without life-or-death battles, he has no way to master this flow state.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." Chen Feng then turned his attention to studying another martial art, the one that involved external martial arts training.

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: A Preliminary Exploration (0/1000)

Information about this technique surfaced in my mind. The founder of this technique observed the waves crashing against the rocky cliffs and developed it by imitating the stubborn rocks to temper the body. The force of the waves washed over the skin and muscles, cleansed the marrow and meridians, and strengthened the tendons and bones.

After reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one's flesh, blood, tendons, and bones become one unified whole, the body is flawless, impervious to water and fire, and difficult to penetrate by poisons and dampness. One's brute strength is enough to overwhelm those of the same level.

Chen Feng immediately threw himself into the 997 experience to test the waters.

[Experience]: 40000

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: A Preliminary Exploration (997/1000)

The profound mysteries of the cultivation technique instantly flooded into his mind.

What followed was a feeling of weakness that spread throughout the body, as if being peeled away layer by layer. One's own vital energy was forcibly drawn out and turned into nutrients to drive the advancement of the cultivation technique.

My limbs and bones felt slightly weak, and I felt a sense of exhaustion, as if all my energy had been drained away.

At the same time, the surging energy flowed through the meridians of the body, soaking the skin and flesh, tempering the muscles and bones, and increasing the toughness of the body.

On one hand, there is weakness due to depletion of qi and blood; on the other hand, there is a transformation of the physical body, both of which are beneficial.

Chen Feng's muscles bulged slightly, his tendons were taut and strong, and a powerful force was brewing within them. His joints grew slightly longer, and he even grew a little taller.

Chen Feng took out two Qi Gathering Pills, put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed them to replenish the Qi and blood he had just lost.

He secretly calculated that if he wanted to cultivate this Iron Armor Technique of the Sea-Stabilizing Mountains to its perfect state, he would need a massive amount of pills.

With the limited resources I have on hand, it's simply a drop in the ocean.
