Dispelling all distracting thoughts, Chen Zong was completely immersed in the breakthrough.
Relying on his increasingly powerful Spiritual Sense, Chen Zong was able to control and refine the World Energy within his body while comprehending the six True Meanings.
Under normal circumstances, to break through to the Transcendent Realm, a martial artist must first know the location of their Aperture Points. Only then would they be able to break through their Aperture Points and increase their cultivation. This required a Cultivation Method.
Different Cultivation Methods would allow one to break through their Aperture Points, but there would also be similarities and differences.
Without a Cultivation Method, breaking through would be extremely difficult.
But there was an exception, and that was the foundation.
The more solid a martial artist's foundation was, the more likely they would be able to use their strength to break through their Aperture Points. This was a natural guidance.
As for the Tai Yuan Stage, it was even more of a guidance. With the combination of the two, Chen Zong was able to break through eight Aperture Points in a row, and was currently on his way to the ninth.
Under the boundless World Energy, Chen Zong's Spiritual Energy became even more pure and powerful. After filling the eighth Aperture Point, he continuously tried to break through the ninth.
Every Aperture Point was sealed, and one had to use a strong force to break through them. Then, one had to fill the Aperture Point with Spiritual Energy to activate it.
The ninth Aperture Point was broken through by the boundless Spiritual Energy. Like a hot knife through butter, Chen Zong's cultivation increased once again, nearing its limit.
The tenth Aperture Point!
Go Go Go!
With his solid foundation, Chen Zong could break through many Aperture Points without the need for Spiritual Energy. Coupled with the unique environment of the Tai Yuan Stage, he could break through even more Aperture Points.
Break!
The aura emitted from his body suddenly became stronger.
Limit of the First Layer of the Extreme Mortal Stage!
With the help of the boundless World Energy and the mysterious guidance of the Tai Yuan Stage, the tyrannical and pure Spiritual Energy rushed towards the eleventh Aperture Point in his body.
Break again!
His aura skyrocketed.
Early Second Layer of the Extreme Mortal Stage!
Rumble!
When Chen Zong's cultivation broke through to the Early Second Layer of the Extreme Mortal Stage, his Spiritual Energy underwent another transformation.
The cultivation of the Extreme Mortal Stage was to pursue the pinnacle of the human body, to pursue the pinnacle of the Spiritual Energy. This pinnacle was to follow the cultivation of each Aperture Point and experience a transformation.
Nine was the pinnacle of numbers, nine transformations was the pinnacle of the human body.
Another Aperture point was broken, the twelfth one.
Subsequently, the thirteenth aperture was also broken through.
Mid Second Level of the Mortal Realm!
The higher the Aperture acupoints were, the harder it was to break through, and the more energy it would require. Fortunately, there was no lack of pure Spiritual Qi in the Tai Yuan realm, so Chen Zong could absorb and refine it freely to help him break through the Aperture acupoints.
What Chen Zong didn't know was that when a large amount of pure liquefied Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth poured into his body, at least half of it was absorbed by the mysterious sword point in the center of his soul sense sea. The mysterious sword point was like a bottomless pit that could not be filled.
The fifteenth acupuncture point was broken!
Late stage of the Second Level of the Mortal Realm!
Having reached this level of cultivation, Chen Zong could absorb and refine the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth even faster, just like a whale sucking in water.
Boom! Boom!
Chen Zong's body seemed to have turned into a river, allowing the spiritual energy to hit him freely.
Aperture acupoints were hidden in every part of the human body, including the head, arms, legs, and torso. There were a total of one hundred and eight Aperture acupoints, but most of them were Clear Aperture acupoints, while a small portion were Hidden Aperture acupoints.
Clear Aperture acupoints were the ones that were easy to find, and were the common ones for many Spiritual Skills. They were the ones that could be sensed even without Spiritual Skills.
Hidden Aperture acupoints were the more secretive ones, and only Spiritual Skills of the highest level had records of them.
Of course, some top Spiritual Skills of the highest level might also have records of Hidden Aperture acupoints, but they were rare.
Chen Zong relied on his solid foundation and the guidance of the Tai Yuan realm to break through the various Aperture acupoints, which belonged to the Clear Aperture acupoints.
The seventeenth acupuncture point was broken!
Peak Second Level of the Mortal Realm!
The nineteenth acupuncture point was broken!
Extreme Second Level of the Mortal Realm!
Next, the twentieth acupuncture point was also broken, but his cultivation level was still at the Extreme Second Level of the Mortal Realm.
Absorb, absorb, absorb!
Refine, refine, refine!
Large amounts of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth entered his body, but breaking through the twenty-first acupuncture point became extremely difficult, ten times more difficult than before.
First breakthrough!
Second breakthrough!
Third breakthrough!
With every breakthrough, the Spiritual Qi would disperse, reassemble, and then breakthrough again, repeating the process over and over again.
The twenty-first acupuncture point was like a boulder, like a mountain, unshakable.
Time flew by, and gradually, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth entering his body began to weaken. Chen Zong knew that this time, it would be difficult for him to break through the twenty-first acupuncture point.
"One last breakthrough!" Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong gathered his Spiritual Qi once again.
This time, if he didn't succeed, he could only give up, because the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around him began to disperse uncontrollably.
Break the cauldrons and sink the boats!
Boom!
A crack suddenly appeared on the twenty-first acupuncture point. That crack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Immediately, following the subsequent Spiritual Qi attacks, the crack continued to expand.
Crack Crack Crack Crack!
The crisp sounds were so pleasing to the ear.
The twenty-first acupuncture point was finally broken through, and the Spiritual Qi that Chen Zong had gathered completely dissipated. However, a feeling of vastness and loftiness arose spontaneously.
Strands of Spiritual Qi were injected into the newly opened acupuncture point, filling it up. However, the speed of filling it up was more than ten times slower than before. Fortunately, although the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around him had dissipated, a portion of it still remained.
When the twenty-first acupuncture point was filled with Spiritual Qi, Chen Zong's cultivation broke through once again.
Early Stage Third Layer Mortal Realm!
Opening his mouth, a white breath shot out like an arrow from a bow, piercing through the air for more than a hundred metres before dissipating. If this was the outside world, its speed would be increased by at least two times, and the distance would be increased by at least three times. It could easily kill a pseudo Transcendent Stage cultivator.
"Senior Brother Yu Zhengxiao's cultivation has reached the Early Stage Second Layer Mortal Realm. I'm sure Senior Brother Tang Zhengming and the rest should be at this level as well. Fang Xingchen's talent is even higher than Senior Brother's and the rest. Furthermore, with the Tai Yuan Realm as a Holy Land, he reached the limit of the Second Layer Mortal Realm in one breakthrough." Chen Zong muttered to himself, "My cultivation has reached the Early Stage Third Layer Mortal Realm, which is obviously higher than Fang Xingchen and the rest."
Who doesn't want to be stronger? Chen Zong's lips curled into a smile.
Even if Fang Xingchen entered the Tai Yuan Realm earlier than him, so what? He was still inferior to him.
Speaking of which, Chen Zong usually didn't have much of a competitive spirit. However, he was forced to choose between Fang Xingchen and the Sect time and time again. It was impossible for him to not have any thoughts. After all, he wasn't a saint who had no desires.
After stabilizing his cultivation and reaching the Early Stage Third Layer Mortal Realm, Chen Zong began to feel the Tai Yuan Realm's rejection. This rejection was gradually increasing.
While he was being rejected, Chen Zong began to examine himself.
His skin became extremely glossy and even seemed to emit a faint glow. He looked more energetic and resilient. Chen Zong even felt that his skin could withstand many powerful attacks.
Examining his muscles from the outside to the inside, he found that every muscle had become more well-proportioned. Every muscle was emitting a faint glow and gently pulsating, as if they had an independent life and spirituality, containing an incomparably tyrannical power.
The veins under his muscles undulated, similarly emitting a faint glow. It was as if dragons and snakes were slithering in the forest, or wandering in the abyss of the sea. With a light shake, there would be a shocking sound like rolling thunder, like the roar of a dragon.
The blood in his body surged like the water of a long river, like the waves of a vast ocean.
Chen Zong discovered that most of his Pure Yang Blood Qi had become redder. The redness was so pure that it emitted a faint glow. There was also more gold in his blood, almost two-ninths of it.
"My current cultivation level is at the Early Stage of the Extreme Mortal Realm, and the golden colour in my Pure Yang blood is slightly more than two-ninths. Could there be a connection between the two?" Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself.
Whether there was a connection or not, he would have to wait until he had a breakthrough.
His bones had also undergone obvious changes, as if they were made of a mysterious metal. They emitted a faint golden glow and were incomparably powerful.
He then checked his internal organs. Every pulse was deep and powerful, constantly swallowing and spitting out blood, swallowing and spitting out energy. Every single one of his internal organs looked even more distinct, and their surface was covered with an extremely flexible halo that could resist even more tyrannical power.
His internal organs, bones, Blood Qi, veins, muscles, skin and so on formed his body. The glow that covered his body was the so-called Divine Aura. This Divine Aura could only be seen by those in the Transcendent Realm.
This was the Spirit Body.
Just as Chen Zong was about to examine it more carefully, the repulsive force of the Tai Yuan Realm suddenly increased and fiercely squeezed Chen Zong out.
The world spun around him, as if he was falling through a grotesque tunnel.
When Chen Zong came to his senses, he found that he had already left the Tai Yuan Realm and landed at the place where he had entered it.
Sou Sou Sou!
The sound of wind breaking rang out from all directions as one figure after another appeared around Chen Zong. At the same time, a tyrannical Spiritual Sense silently fell on Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong, who already had a Spiritual Sense, could more directly feel the tyrannical power of these Spiritual Senses. They were as deep and majestic as an abyss. In front of such Spiritual Senses, he was like a small boat in a stormy sea that could be crushed and drowned at any time. He couldn't help but feel terrified.
It was the Taiyuan Sect Master, the Mountain Lords, and some Heaven Grade Elders. They all released their Spiritual Senses to check Chen Zong's current cultivation level.
However, when Chen Zong didn't use his own power, he would completely restrain it, making it difficult to sense. Therefore, the Sect Master, Mountain Lord, and the Elders all frowned slightly.
"Chen Zong, what's your cultivation level?" The Taiyuan Sect Master couldn't help but ask. All the gazes fell on Chen Zong's face, and it was as if they wanted to pierce through him.
Chen Zong released his aura, but not all of it. He controlled it to be at the peak of Extreme Tier Two of the Mortal Realm.
Fang Xingchen had broken through to the Tai Yuan Realm, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of Extreme Tier Two of the Mortal Realm. Chen Zong was also limited to this level, so both sides were equal.
Little did everyone know that when they felt Chen Zong's cultivation level, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were filled with shock.
"Chen Zong, did you inherit the Taiyuan Divine Path?" A Heaven Grade Elder asked straightforwardly.
"Taiyuan Divine Path?" Chen Zong frowned slightly, then shook his head.
