Chapter 49 Condensing the Divine Soul
Han Yi learned from Hui Xin that when you first break through acupoints, you should try to open as many as possible. The more acupoints you open, the smoother your cultivation will be in the future, and the benefits will be immense.
The first breakthrough he finally made was like a spark igniting in his heart, and his confidence soared up instantly.
He took a short breath and then guided his spiritual energy toward the next spiritual aperture, preparing to make another big push and face a new round of difficult challenges.
Hey, I didn't expect this second spiritual aperture to be so cooperative; it opened up without much effort.
Han Yi knew in his heart that with each breakthrough of a spiritual aperture, he was one step closer to becoming a true cultivator. It felt like climbing a mountain, and he had jumped up another section.
The cultivator must open the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, the Yintang acupoint between the eyebrows, the Tanzhong acupoint on the chest, the Dantian in the abdomen, as well as the Laogong acupoints on both hands and the Yongquan acupoints on both feet before the second step of the spiritual energy breakthrough is completed.
These spiritual apertures are key nodes in the circulation of spiritual energy in the human body. Once they are opened, a complete microcosmic orbit of spiritual energy can be initially established, and the absorption and mobilization of spiritual energy will be unrestricted in the future.
Ordinary cultivators mostly have ordinary spiritual roots and ordinary physiques. At most, they can open up the nine orifices. Their efficiency in absorbing and mobilizing spiritual energy is extremely low, so their cultivation is naturally arduous step by step.
Therefore, cultivators with good physiques and superior spiritual roots will exert all their efforts to open more spiritual apertures in order to accelerate their cultivation speed. Of course, as their cultivation level increases, the number of spiritual apertures will also "increase" along with their cultivation level, allowing them to open even more.
However, the number of spiritual apertures that can be opened depends on the cultivator's physique and the quality of their spiritual roots.
Spiritual root and physical constitution are inseparable, like a scale with a weight on it; if the spiritual root is good, the physical constitution will definitely be good too.
Some spiritual points are distributed in very tricky ways, in the tiny branches of the meridians in the human body, and in some acupoints that are hidden very well, such as the auxiliary acupoints on both sides of the spine, and the deep meridian nodes in the arms and legs. They are very difficult to find.
If one can open all thirty-six spiritual apertures, then the cultivator can be said to have established a great cycle of energy circulation.
Once this Great Circulation is completed, it will be extraordinary. The amount of spiritual energy that can be absorbed and mobilized will increase dramatically, making one qualified to cultivate great supernatural powers and spells.
"Senior sister, Yu Ji's cultivation process is taking way too long! Three hours have passed, and it's still not over?"
Huixin couldn't help but nudge Mingyue beside her, stamping her feet anxiously. The two of them had been waiting anxiously for more than two hours, not far from where Han Yi was sitting.
Huixin's brows furrowed deeply as she paced back and forth, glancing anxiously at Han Yi every now and then, her face practically overflowing with worry.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The more acupoints you open, the better it will be for your future cultivation. You know that, don't you?"
Mingyue remained calm, standing there quietly with gentle eyes, staring intently at Han Yi.
As evening approached, Han Yi's breakthrough was still ongoing, but he was getting smoother and smoother, and his control over spiritual energy was becoming more and more proficient.
By this time, he had already opened the seventy-first acupoint and quietly established the Great Circulation.
If Mingyue and Huixin knew this, their jaws would drop in astonishment.
You have to understand that with their current cultivation level and their top-grade spiritual roots, they have only just opened up their seventy-third aperture. Opening up another aperture would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Once a cultivator has opened up to the seventy-second acupoint, that is the Great Circulation Perfection, which allows them to establish a closer relationship with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.
At this point, one is qualified to comprehend the power of laws, such as manipulating laws of time and space.
However, comprehending the power of laws is extremely difficult, and very few cultivators can achieve the Great Circulation Perfection stage.
When Han Yi finally opened his eyes and stopped the process of breaking through his acupoints, it was already broad daylight.
Good heavens, all night long, he was like he had a cheat code, opening up all 108 spiritual acupoints in his body.
At that moment, he could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy rushing into his dantian as if it had gone mad. The feeling was so strange that it was indescribable. It was as if he had become a gluttonous beast that could never be full, devouring the spiritual energy of the entire Qingluan Peak.
He hadn't noticed anything before, but now he realized that the spiritual energy of Qingluan Peak was actually so abundant.
The spiritual energy entered his dantian too quickly and in too large a quantity, so Han Yi took the opportunity to begin refining the spiritual energy, aiming to transform this massive amount of spiritual energy into a higher level of energy—divine essence.
This divine essence is far more powerful than spiritual energy. It is closely connected with spiritual power. The appearance of divine essence means that the cultivator has begun to move from cultivating on a purely material level to taking a big step towards the spiritual level. This process is similar to forging iron ore into refined steel through repeated hammering.
When a cultivator refines their divine essence, it signifies entering the second stage of the Qi Refining Realm—Qi Refining into Spirit. This Qi Refining into Spirit stage is also divided into three steps: refining the divine essence, condensing the soul, and the initial formation of the divine soul. Once the divine soul is formed, it means the cultivator has reached the minor completion stage of the Qi Refining Realm. The entire Qi Refining Realm is further subdivided into Minor Completion, Major Completion, Peak, and Great Perfection.
At this moment, Han Yi was refining a large amount of spiritual energy in his dantian into divine essence.
Refining this divine essence requires a great deal of soul power.
When cultivators first encounter this matter, their souls are still weak, and they dare not overexert themselves. They can only proceed slowly, spending a lot of time meditating and introspecting to clear away all the distractions and disturbances in their minds, making their souls more refined and pure, just like polishing a piece of exquisite jade.
Ordinary cultivators have weak souls, and the process of refining divine essence is very long. Han Yi is different. He was tormented to the point of death by that old guy Xuan Kongzi, and his soul and body have long been tempered to be extremely strong.
Therefore, he was able to refine a large amount of spiritual energy in his body into divine essence all at once.
Once the divine essence in his dantian has accumulated to a certain extent, his divine soul begins to take shape.
The spirit is the core of energy, carrying the cultivator's consciousness, memories, and soul, just as important as the human heart.
However, the newly formed soul is still very weak, like a newly hatched chick. It needs to be quickly guided into the sea of consciousness through the spiritual aperture, carefully nurtured and cultivated in the sea of consciousness, and continuously nourished with spiritual energy to make it stronger and lay a solid spiritual foundation for subsequent cultivation.
"You brat, stop now! You're draining all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles!" Xuan Kongzi's aged roar echoed across Qingluan Peak, making everyone's ears ring.
The old man was meditating in the quiet room, his face turning pale and then red. He thought to himself that this brat was a monster. Qingluan Peak had set up several spirit-gathering arrays and was also blessed by spiritual veins.
Such abundant spiritual energy couldn't even supply this kid's absorption. Xuan Kongzi's face was a mixture of anger and joy, his expression was incredibly complex.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi quickly opened his eyes and stopped absorbing the energy.
