In the back mountains of the Taixuan Sect, there was a quiet and secluded place. There were trees, flowers, birds, and insects. Next to a gravel path, there was a boulder as tall as a person. On top of the boulder, a young man in a white robe was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
The young man's body was surrounded by spiritual energy. As he breathed in and out, the spiritual energy that gathered expanded and shrank, following a mysterious pattern and gathering toward the young man's dantian.
The young man's name was Gu Fei, and he was a disciple of the younger generation of the Taixuan Sect.
The Taixuan Sect was one of the three major sects on the Teng Long Continent. It had a long history and was an ancient sect. Gu Fei was an orphan. When he was eight years old, his master, Wan Xiancheng, had left the mountain to travel and brought him back to the Taixuan Sect to be accepted as a disciple.
Although he was in the Dao Sect, what Gu Fei cultivated was not a Dao Technique, but a technique called "Ancient Body Refining Technique."
Body refining technique, as the name suggested, was a technique that used one's own body as the foundation. It was a technique that defied the natural order and cultivated the body. The techniques described in the technique were enough to make one's body sacred, and the ancient battle techniques could kill immortals and gods.
However, once this ancient secret technique was cultivated, it was extremely difficult. Even if one failed to cultivate it, they could no longer change to another.
Sitting cross-legged on the boulder with his eyes closed, Gu Fei operated the Ancient Body Refining Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy from all directions into his dantian, and accumulating it. When the spiritual energy in his dantian was compressed and accumulated to a certain extent, he guided the spiritual energy in his dantian to attack the meridians of the body.
Wave after wave of spiritual energy gathered, whether it was the surrounding plant essence or the sun essence and moon essence floating in the void, Gu Fei did not reject any of them. He absorbed them into his dantian like rivers running into the sea.
Vaguely, one could see streaks of light that were as fine as green silk lingering around his body. As time went by, Gu Fei's dantian began to emit a seven-colored glow. It was the glow emitted by the highly condensed spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Gathering Qi, impacting, gathering Qi, impacting. Sometimes strong, sometimes weak, waves of Spiritual Qi spread out from Gu Fei's body. As it cycled back and forth, streams of seven-colored Spiritual Qi surged from Gu Fei's Dantian, like a river bursting through a dam, and impacted the meridians in his body that had not yet been opened.
Every impact was like a thousand-pound hammer ruthlessly bombarding Gu Fei's body. Every impact caused a trace of pain to appear on his face.
Powerful spiritual energy rushed through his meridians, bringing with it a tearing pain. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that erupted from his dantian was extremely violent, making his meridians feel as if they were being cut by countless sharp knives.
He gritted his teeth and was sweating profusely. His hair was stuck to his face by the sweat, and his white shirt was soaked and stuck to his body.
He was experiencing the second threshold of the Ancient Body Refining Technique – Meridian Opening.
Meridian Opening was to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condense it in the dantian, and then impact the Aperture acupoints above the meridians, making the meridians unobstructed. In this way, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could travel along the meridians of the whole body to every inch of muscle and every bone of the body, thus achieving the purpose of refining the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, and making the body sublimate and transform.
The Ancient Body Refining Technique was a heaven-defying cultivation technique. Without a rock-like willpower and unremitting hard work, it was impossible to even cross the first threshold of the Qi Gathering.
There were countless cultivation systems in the Teng Long Continent, but the realms of the world's cultivators could be divided into five major realms: Self Awakening, Transcending Mortality, Royal Void, Demigod, and Saint. Each realm was further divided into nine heavens, implying the meaning of the Nine Five Supremacy.
The Ancient Body Refining Technique had four checkpoints in the Self Awakening Realm. The first step was the Qi Gathering. Only by mastering the Qi Gathering ability, could Gu Fei proceed to the next step of the Meridian Opening.
After the Meridian Opening was the Tendons Transformation. After the Tendons Transformation had reached the advanced level, it was the Bone Forging Technique. When the Bone Forging Technique reached the advanced level, it was the time for the body to transform. Once the transformation was successful, Gu Fei could break through the shackles of cultivation and advance to the Transcending Mortality Realm.
"The spiritual energy gathered is still not strong enough!" Failure after failure brought a terrible pain like death by a thousand cuts. Gu Fei bit the corner of his mouth until it bled, but he still persisted.
"The human body has twelve main meridians, I have only opened two meridians. Besides the twelve main meridians, there are still eight extra meridians. When can I open all the meridians in my body and enter the Tendons Transformation Realm?"
The difficulty of cultivating the Ancient Body Refining Technique was really terrifying. Most of the people who cultivated this technique had an awesome name, but their cultivation progress was extremely slow. It seemed that there was only one ending, and that was, before they could successfully cultivate the Ancient Body Refining Technique, these people had already died of old age.
The morning cultivation time was about to end. Gu Fei sat the whole morning. Since he opened the second meridian two years ago, he had not made any progress!
The wall of cultivation was like an insurmountable chasm that spanned across in front of him.
Gu Fei was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. His character was a bit like his master, Wan Xiancheng. They were both stubborn like a bull, the kind of person who would not turn back even after a hundred setbacks.
"Fight!" Gu Fei looked up at the sky. There was still enough time for him to break through one more meridian. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, his face showed a determined look, and his eyes were incomparably firm.
Circulating the technique, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that had not yet dissipated around his body, once again converged. In his dantian, a mass of Spiritual Energy was slowly rotating, absorbing the Spiritual Energy that gathered from all directions.
A not weak fluctuation of Yuan Qi was emitted from his body, and various colors of starlight emerged in his dantian. This was the highly compressed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and it was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that had not undergone any transformation.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy quickly converged in Gu Fei's dantian. Until Gu Fei felt a swelling pain in his dantian, he fiercely hardened his heart and desperately pushed the highly compressed Spiritual Energy in his dantian to the third meridian of the twelve standard meridians.
The powerful and explosive Spiritual Energy surged rapidly in Gu Fei's meridians. It was like a torrential flood had suddenly gushed into a small stream. Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed through, his meridians would rapidly expand, almost bursting from the torrent.
"Boom!" It was as if there was an explosion of thunder in Gu Fei's ears. The torrent that surged out from his dantian fiercely hit the wall of the meridians.
Gu Fei's body shook violently. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and he actually fell from the rock.
Under the boulder, in the grass, Gu Fei lay on the ground facing the sky. The corner of his mouth was scarlet, and it was particularly eye-catching. He looked up at the sky, and through the gaps in the leaves, he saw the leisurely drifting clouds of smoke in the sky. Occasionally, a few Spirit Birds would fly past in the sky.
There was no discouragement in his eyes, no frustration, only a somewhat frightening determination.
He slowly climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked in the direction of the mountain in front of him. On the mountain road in the back of the mountain, there were already scattered figures heading toward the front of the mountain.
They were disciples of the Taixuan Sect, like him, who had come to the back of the mountain early to cultivate.
Taixuan Mountain towered into the clouds, and the top of the mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist. The palaces were faintly discernible on the mountain, and the terrain was magnificent. It was a rare Spirit Mountain holy land on the continent.
The high-level cultivators all cultivated on the mountain, and young disciples like Gu Fei, who had been in the sect for less than ten years and had low cultivation, could only cultivate at the foot of the mountain.
"Hmm! I still haven't broken through! " Gu Fei looked inside his body, and he found that the wall of the third meridian was only a little loose, but it was still far from breaking through.
"Eight years, and the ancient body refinement technique has only reached the Meridian Opening Realm, but it has only awakened my third tier of cultivation. Sigh!" Gu Fei laughed bitterly at himself. "The disciples of the other branches, even Wang Yuanzhi, who has the lowest cultivation, has awakened my fifth tier of cultivation!"
Thinking of Wang Yuanzhi, who often caused trouble for him, Gu Fei's face showed a look of disgust. The disciples of the other branches cultivated law techniques, and their progress was lightning fast, but his cultivation technique progress was as slow as a snail.
In the world of cultivation, only the strong were respected, and those with low cultivation would only become the target of bullying.
Gu Fei tidied up his clothes, and then walked along the mountain road to the front of the mountain. On both sides of the quiet mountain road, unknown flowers were blooming.
The faint smell of grass and the faint fragrance of flowers floated into Gu Fei's nose from time to time.
Just now, when he failed to break through the meridian wall, Gu Fei's body had suffered a lot of impact, and injuries were inevitable. However, he did not take the injury seriously at all, because after cultivating the ancient body refinement technique, he had no other skills, but his body's self-healing ability was amazing.
When Gu Fei came to the front of the mountain, he met more and more disciples, but no one greeted him, as if they did not see him, or glanced at him with disdain and walked away.
Gu Fei's face was expressionless, and his face was indifferent, facing the disdainful eyes of some of his fellow disciples, he was indifferent.
"Oh, isn't this our cultivation genius Gu Fei, ah no, it should be cultivation waste, haha …" Suddenly, a wanton laughter came from the front.
On the path in front, there were three teenagers who were also wearing white robes with white belts on their waists. The leader laughed loudly, and the two teenagers behind him also laughed in a low voice.
Seeing these three teenagers, a look of disgust flashed in Gu Fei's eyes, and then he ignored the three teenagers and directly turned to the side of the path.
This small path led to a pine forest.
"Hey, Junior Brother Trash, why are you walking so fast?" The three youths giggled as they followed Gu Fei onto the small path. On the path, there were seven or eight other young disciples.
However, when these disciples saw the three teenagers who laughed at Gu Fei, their footsteps could not help but speed up a little, as if they wanted to force the three teenagers away.
"Who are you calling trash!" Gu Fei suddenly stopped moving, turned around, and roared at the three youths. This roar of his drew the gazes of the nearby fellow disciples over.
"What, what's wrong with saying you are trash, not only are you trash, but your master is also trash, hmph! What ancient body refinement technique, what sage body, it is just a garbage, thrown on the ground and no one will pick it up, but you two master and disciple treat garbage as a treasure, your head must have been kicked by a donkey, stupid to the extreme. "
The leading teenager was suddenly shouted at by Gu Fei, and was stunned for a moment, but immediately like a machine gun, he pointed at Gu Fei's nose and cursed!
