In the back mountains of the Taixuan Sect, there was a quiet and secluded place. There were trees, flowers, and birds chirping. Next to a gravel path, there was a boulder that was 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, the spiritual energy that had gathered expanded and contracted, 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, 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, Gu Fei did not cultivate Dao techniques, but a technique called the "Ancient Body Refining Technique."
The Ancient Body Refining Technique, as the name suggested, was a technique that used one's own body as the foundation and went against the natural order of cultivation. The martial arts 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 did not succeed in cultivating it, they could no longer change to something else.
Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged on the boulder with his eyes closed, operated the Ancient Body Refining Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy from all directions into his dantian and accumulating it. When the spiritual energy in the dantian was compressed and accumulated to a certain extent, it would be guided into the meridians of the body.
The spiritual energy gathered, whether it was the essence of the surrounding plants or the essence of the sun and the moon floating in the void, Gu Fei did not reject any of it. He absorbed it into his dantian like rivers running into the sea.
Vaguely, one could see a small stream of light, like a 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 flow along the meridians of the whole body to every inch of the muscles 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 bitter cultivation, 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 ability of Qi Gathering, 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 would enter the Bone Forging Technique. The day when the Bone Forging Technique reached the advanced level was the day when the body would transform. Once the transformation was successful, Gu Fei would be able to 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 and blood oozed out, but he still persisted.
"The human body has twelve main meridians, I have only opened two meridians. In addition to 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 stage?"
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 succeed in cultivating 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 two years ago, when he opened the second meridian, 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, looking at the wisps of mist floating in the sky. Occasionally, a few Spirit Birds would fly across 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 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. There were many palaces that were faintly discernible on the mountain. The terrain was magnificent, and 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 himself and 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 Dao techniques and progressed at lightning speed. However, the cultivation technique that he cultivated progressed at a snail's pace.
In the world of cultivation, only the strong were respected. Those with low cultivation would only become the target of bullying.
Gu Fei tidied up his clothes and then followed the mountain path to the front of the mountain. On both sides of the quiet mountain path, 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, 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 the disciples, he was indifferent.
"Aiyo, 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 small path in front of him, three youths wearing the same white robes and white belts walked towards him. The leader laughed, and the two young men behind him also laughed in a low voice.
Seeing these three young men, Gu Fei's eyes flashed a look of disgust, and then he ignored the three young men and directly turned to the side of the path.
This small path led to a pine forest.
"Hey, useless junior brother, why are you walking so fast?" The three young men also laughed and followed Gu Fei on the path. On the path, there were seven or eight other young disciples.
However, when these disciples saw the three young men who laughed at Gu Fei, their footsteps could not help but speed up a little, as if they wanted to force the three young men away.
"Who are you calling waste!" 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 waste, not only are you waste, but your master is also waste, humph! What ancient body refining 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 treasure, your head is really kicked by a donkey, stupid to the extreme. "
The leading young man 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!
"Hey! Wang Yuanzhi, don't go too far! " Gu Fei's fists were tightly clenched, because he used too much force, every knuckle on his fist turned white, and the anger in his chest suddenly erupted like a volcano.
