Chapter 13: Building Foundations
More than 40 minutes had passed, and Little Meteor began to feel a slight numbness in his body, especially in his legs and hands, but he persisted. With his eyes closed, he didn't know that there were some gray, invisible particles slowly approaching his body, seeping into his skin, and then slowly gathering at his dantian.
About 10 minutes passed, and perhaps the small gray particles in his body increased. The little meteor finally had a feeling. He felt that his dantian position changed from nothing to something, as if there was a warm and fuzzy thing slowly growing. This should be the primordial energy. The little meteor's heart moved, excitedly thinking that he didn't expect himself to actually guide the energy into his body. According to the Primordial Scripture, normally it would take sitting meditation for over ten times, each time for at least two hours, before success was possible.
I didn't expect that my first time meditating, I succeeded in over 40 minutes. Of course, Xiaoliuxing himself wouldn't know the exact time, he just felt that his meditation wouldn't last very long. (Actually, Xiaoliuxing was able to absorb the energy so quickly because of his innate Hunyuan body and the Hunyuan technique, but most importantly, there was a small amount of Hunyuan energy hidden in his body that guided him. This small amount of Hunyuan energy was awakened when Xiaoliuxing learned martial arts from his grandfather since he was young, constantly hunting and training, and during his last escape, his spirit fluctuated greatly due to a coincidence, but he himself didn't know about it. If not for this small amount of Hunyuan energy as a catalyst, he wouldn't have been able to succeed so quickly in absorbing the energy into his body.)
Of course, it's not the time to be happy now. Xiao Liuxing suppressed the excitement in his heart and used his thoughts to control the Chaotic Qi according to the Hunyuan Scripture, making it circulate along the meridians of the body in a small cycle. At first, he was not skilled, and after several attempts, the true Chaotic Qi finally moved slightly, but it didn't go far before stopping again. Xiao Liuxing did not panic at this situation because according to his master Xuanxiaozi's memories, this was a normal occurrence when practicing True Yuan for the first time. With repeated practice, the True Yuan would no longer behave like this. Therefore, Xiao Liuxing patiently repeated the command, circulating the Chaotic Qi again and again.
From here, the little streamer began to realize that Master Xīyáng had given him a great gift! He started to feel how lucky he was. An ordinary person, for the first time practicing, if they didn't know about this situation, would definitely not dare to continue practicing, and this would have a huge impact on their future practice.
Because the first time you command your true yuan, it is actually a process of letting your true yuan get familiar with yourself. The strong effect only appears at the first time, and afterwards, cultivating will only increase the amount of true yuan, but the familiarity with the master's aura will be much weaker. Perhaps the first time you let your true qi get familiar with you, it only takes a few minutes, but next time, it may take several years, or even longer, which shows how big the difference is.
So Little Liuxing was deeply moved by the great help that Xīyángzi gave him. It was also this feeling of gratitude that later, when Little Liuxing met Xīyángzi's reincarnation again, he gave him enormous help, but that is a story for another time and will not be mentioned for now.
The Chaotic True Qi inside Xiao Liuxing's body moved in fits and starts, and after Xiao Liuxing had commanded it nearly a hundred times, it finally stopped being disobedient. However, its speed was only comparable to that of a cow carrying a nest on its back wandering around. This was still considered good.
Because Little Liuxing and Little Chun Tian had been soaking in the Yin Huan Sheng Ye at the bottom of the cliff for more than a day, their bodies not only underwent a transformation, expelling the garbage that had accumulated in their bodies over the years, but also opened up all the meridians except for the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and a few other main ones. Now Little Liuxing only needs to have the Hun Dun Qi do small cycles of circulation in his body, so he doesn't need to go through these major meridians at all, which has greatly reduced the pain of colliding with the acupoints.
Xiao Liuxing persisted in directing the chaotic true energy inside his body to circulate continuously. Every time it circulated a circle, the chaotic energy would become stronger by one degree, and the control over the chaotic energy would become more skilled by one degree. At the same time, when the chaotic energy became stronger by one degree, a small part of it would also separate and wander into the cells of various parts of his body.
While cultivating the true yuan, the intensity of cultivating the body is also cultivated. This is a major feature of the Chaos Formula. Other formulas either cultivate the true yuan completely or mostly cultivate the body and only a small part cultivates the true yuan. Only the Chaos Formula automatically refines the body while cultivating the true yuan! This is introduced in the general outline of the Chaos Formula.
Moreover, the Chaotic Aura as the original aura of the universe, using it to temper the body, the intensity is naturally much greater than the body tempered with ordinary True Essence. Moreover, the Chaotic Formula is a Chaotic-level technique, and according to its method of tempering, this intensity will be increased several times over.
With a whole-hearted command, the Chaotic True Energy circulated, and even Little Stream himself didn't know how many rounds it had gone through. At this point, the Chaotic True Energy had transformed from its original thinness to being as thick as a thumb. Moreover, Little Stream could now completely control it, like an extension of his arm, making it stop or move at will, speeding up or slowing down as he pleased. This feeling made Little Stream feel extremely exhilarated, not just mentally but also physically. Although he had been sitting for a long time, the Chaotic True Energy had been circulating continuously and had even dispersed to various cells throughout his body. They not only tempered his physique but also drove away fatigue, leaving Little Stream feeling not the slightest bit tired. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and invigorated.
The state is so good that the little meteor naturally won't stop practicing. According to the first layer of practice, along the small Zhou Tian, after controlling the Hunyuan Qi freely, it can start performing the Qijing Eight Meridians to make a big Zhou Tian. After opening up all the Qijing Eight Meridians, Little Meteor's first layer is complete! The Qijing Eight Meridians are the transportation hub of the entire body. Opening them up makes one a super master in the Wulin world who has reached the Xiantian realm. Don't look at how simple Little Meteor is; according to his grandfather, there aren't more than twenty masters in the entire Wulin world who have reached the Xiantian realm!
And the youngest among them are over 70 years old, and the oldest is said to be over 120 years old. Each of them is a big shot who dominates one side. It can be seen that it's not easy, of course, these are also what Xiaoxingxing's grandfather heard from others. He himself has been practicing martial arts for a lifetime, but he hasn't even opened up the eight extraordinary meridians. This is also a sideways proof.
Recalling all the information about the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in her mind, Xiaoliu Xingxing didn't start actually attacking the acupoints until she thought she was completely familiar with them. Cultivation has many unexpected events, and if one is not careful, it's possible to lose all previous progress, or even go crazy. There are many examples of this in Xiāo Yāozi's memory, so Xiaoliu Xingxing didn't dare to take risks lightly.
The eight extraordinary meridians are the Du, Ren, Chong, Dai, Yin Wei, Yang Wei, Yin Qiao and Yang Qiao. Among them, the Yang Qiao starts from the outer side of the heel, goes up along the Foot Taiyang Meridian, meets with the Yin Qiao at the inner canthus, then goes up along the Foot Taiyang Meridian to the forehead, and finally meets with the Foot Shaoyang Meridian at the back of the neck. According to Xīao Yǎo Zi's memory, this acupoint has the least resistance, so Xiǎo Liú Xīng decided to start from it.
Slowly gather the chaotic air around the Yang Qiao Mai, and turn its head into a conical shape. Then, sharply thrust the pointed end towards the Yang Qiao Mai. Just as imagined, when the chaotic air had just reached the Yang Qiao Mai, a turbid air suddenly burst out from within the Yang Qiao Mai, blocking the front of the chaotic air. Xiao Liuzi knew that this turbid air was due to his own breathing since birth, bringing it into his body. As long as he dispersed this turbid air, the acupoint would be opened.
Without hesitation, the small meteor directed the chaotic air to heavily collide with it. The chaotic air was indeed the original air of chaos. With a "puff", the turbid air that blocked its way was scattered and disappeared into the body. However, at the same time as it disappeared, Xiaoliu Xing felt a sharp pain coming from the position of the Yangguan hole. Although the chaotic air easily dispersed the turbid air, their collision still pulled on the meridian, resulting in severe pain. Of course, this situation was also explained in the memory of Xiao Yaozi, and Xiaoliu Xing endured it for a while before passing through.
However, he was surprised that he had easily passed through the Yang Kui hole. According to his own experience, it took him seven whole days to break through this acupoint! He had crashed into it hundreds of times and hurt himself hundreds of times before finally breaking through. He didn't expect to pass through it in just one attempt. After carefully checking and finding no problem, Xiaoliu also stopped thinking about it and continued to start attacking the next one.
Yin Qiao Mai, Yang Wei Mai, Yin Wei Mai, Dai Mai, Chong Mai, Ren Mai, Du Mai. In this order, the small meteorite impacted one by one, except for the first one, all the others encountered resistance, especially the last two, Ren Mai and Du Mai, each of which had to be impacted hundreds of times before breaking through. The severe pain caused by the collision of the chaotic air and turbid air almost made him faint. Although he had experienced a lot of pain before, this kind of pain was still his first experience. Although he gritted his teeth and persisted, the memory still lingered in Xiao Liu Xing's mind.
He was so scared that if it weren't for a stubbornness in his heart, he really couldn't hold on.
Although he had gone through a lot of pain, the result also made him overjoyed. When he broke through the last Du Mai, his body suddenly shook, and then Xiao Liuxing felt that the chaotic air in the air was frantically drilling into his body at a speed more than ten times faster than before. The running speed of the chaotic air in his body also suddenly increased by several times.
The chaotic air in the body is not working, Xiao Liuxing quickly uses his spiritual consciousness to control the rapidly flowing chaotic air. As soon as he used his spiritual consciousness, Xiao Liuxing felt that his spiritual consciousness had become at least 10 times stronger than before. Just now, before the breakthrough, although he could freely control the speed of the chaotic air, every now and then he would feel a bit strenuous and have to stop.
Now, despite the chaotic energy surging out of control, Little Meteor can fully control it. Moreover, he doesn't feel any strain at all. This makes Little Meteor truly feel the wonder of the Innate Realm for the first time. A 6-year-old Innate Realm cultivator! If you told this to others in the martial world, they would definitely think you're an idiot among idiots.
