In just a few dozen breaths, the ninth spiritual aperture's barrier was broken, and the spiritual energy that had been blocked outside flowed in.
At that point, all Lu Ye needed to do was channel his spiritual power through his nine orifices, allowing it to form a small cycle in his body, and he would be in the Spirit Stream Stage!
This was also the ultimate goal of his one month of hard work.
However, Lu Ye discovered that although most of the Barrier Breaking Fruit's medicinal effects had been consumed, there was still a large amount left. If he left it alone at this time, not to mention whether it would affect his future cultivation, at the very least, the remaining medicinal effects would be wasted.
This fruit was definitely a rare treasure. It would be a pity to waste it.
Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he began to circulate his spiritual energy, trying to locate the tenth spiritual aperture.
The Sect Master had only helped him locate the location of his ninth Spirit Aperture because, in the Sect Master's opinion, with Lu Ye's talent, even if he had enough pills, it would still take him two or three years to reach the First Order Spirit Stream Realm.
It wasn't that the Sect Master looked down on him, but his talent was too low, and his cultivation efficiency was indeed very low.
However, the Sect Leader did not expect that Lu Ye could open nine apertures in just one month. This was under the condition of lacking pills. If there were enough Yun Spirit Pills, the speed would only be faster.
At this point, even without the help of others, with Lu Ye's own spiritual energy reserves, he would be able to locate the spiritual cavities. However, it would not be as easy as the Head Teacher.
During this period of time, Lu Ye had also taken the time to study the Unfettered Cicada Manual, so he had a rough idea of the locations of the subsequent spiritual cavities. As long as his luck wasn't too bad, locating the locations of the spiritual cavities wouldn't be a problem.
After about an hour of hard work, Lu Ye finally located the location of the tenth aperture. He hurriedly guided the remaining medicinal effects of the Barrier Breaking Fruit towards the tenth aperture. The barrier of the Zhuo aperture's spiritual aperture quickly melted away just like before.
After several dozen breaths of time, the tenth spiritual aperture's barrier was broken. There wasn't much of the Barrier Breaking Fruit's medicinal effect left.
Lu Ye continued to locate the 11 acupoints.
An hour later, Lu Ye let out a long breath and opened his eyes. At this moment, he could no longer feel the effects of the Breakthrough Fruit. The warm flow in his lower abdomen had also completely disappeared. The barrier of the eleven acupoints was not broken in the end, but it had loosened a lot. When he cultivated in the future, breaking the barrier would be very easy, so it could not be said that he had not gained anything.
A single Barrier Breaking Fruit had allowed him to open two apertures in a row. The barrier to opening eleven apertures had also been greatly reduced.
Lu Ye suppressed the thought of immediately reaching the Spirit Stream Tier, because he had a faint feeling that although he had a chance to reach the Spirit Stream Tier now, if he could cultivate his newly opened ninth aperture to the fullest state, it would be easier for him to reach the Spirit Stream Tier.
At this point, he was no longer in a hurry.
He walked to the side and skinned the dead rabbit. Then, he started a fire and barbecued it.
Over the next few days, Lu Ye wantonly hunted the nearby beasts. His daily appetite was astonishingly large, and everything that entered his stomach was turned into the power of his blood and Qi, which he then refined into Qi and poured into his ninth spiritual aperture.
Roughly six days later, Lu Ye sat cross-legged in a cave.
Although he had eaten a lot of beast meat these days, compared to six days ago, his body had not become fatter. Instead, he had become thinner, and the clothes that originally fit him had become a little loose.
This was the result of refining essence into Qi. Too much of his blood and Qi had been refined into spiritual energy, and this was the result of the feedback to his body.
Although he had become thinner, Lu Ye did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt that he had become even more powerful. The muscles on his body were clearly defined, and the word "robust" was the most appropriate to describe him.
He had also finally cultivated his ninth aperture to the fullest state.
After working hard for so many days, today was finally the time for him to reap the rewards. Lu Ye could not help but feel excited.
Taking a few deep breaths and calming his mind, Lu Ye followed the circulation route of the Golden Cicada Carefree Technique. First, he poured the spiritual energy from his origin aperture into his second spiritual aperture. Then, he led the spiritual energy from the second aperture into his third spiritual aperture. Then, he led the spiritual energy from the third aperture into his fourth spiritual aperture, and so on … until he reached the ninth spiritual aperture!
The ninth spiritual aperture was located near the origin aperture. After the spiritual energy entered the ninth spiritual aperture, Lu Ye guided it back to the origin aperture. The nine spiritual apertures were connected, forming a closed circle. This was the Minor Heavenly Cycle!
If the spiritual energy stored in the spiritual apertures before was a pool of stagnant water, then at this moment, it had become a pool of flowing water. The spiritual energy in his body started from the origin aperture, flowed through the other eight spiritual apertures, and finally reached the origin aperture.
Lu Ye suddenly had a different feeling.
However, he did not stop there. Instead, he continued to guide the spiritual energy, continuously circulating the Minor Heavenly Cycle.
In the nine spiritual apertures, the spiritual energy flowed faster and faster, until it broke through a limit. In that instant, Lu Ye's eyes and ears buzzed. Even with his eyes closed, they were filled with a snow-white color. Immediately, the snow-white color receded, and his ears and eyes became clear. His whole body felt a kind of sublimation.
A wave of Qi visible to the naked eye, with Lu Ye as the center, loudly spread in all directions, blowing away the sand and stones in the cave.
Spiritual Stream Stage!
Lu Ye did not hurry to open his eyes. Instead, he calmly sensed his current state.
At this moment, he did not guide the flow of spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy in his body continued to flow in the nine spiritual apertures. It was like a murmuring stream, circulating the Minor Heavenly Cycle.
This was the sign of having reached the Spiritual Stream Stage.
Unless Lu Ye died, or his spiritual energy was exhausted, or his spiritual apertures were broken, from now on, the flow of spiritual energy in his body would not stop.
Slowly opening his eyes, he raised his palm. Slightly urging his spiritual energy, his palm immediately surged with a faint light. This was the light of spiritual energy. However, the current spiritual energy in his body gave him a very different feeling than before.
Although the amount of spiritual energy in his body did not increase compared to before, the current spiritual energy was clearly more destructive.
Lu Ye could clearly feel this. Compared to before, his strength had more than doubled. If at this moment he were to fight with that big tiger again, Lu Ye was confident that he would be able to take it down without using the talisman.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye understood the whole story.
In the past, although he had opened many spiritual apertures, he could only urge the spiritual energy in one of them. If the spiritual energy in one spiritual aperture was exhausted, he could only urge another spiritual aperture. There was no way he could urge two or more at the same time.
But now that his nine apertures were connected and his spiritual energy was circulating through the Minor Heavenly Cycle, the spiritual energy he could urge was not as simple as the spiritual energy in one spiritual aperture, but rather the power of all nine apertures.
Of course, the difference in destructive power was not as big as nine times, but it was still double.
As for the Tenth Aperture, although it had been opened, it was still within the scope of the Second Order Spirit Stream Realm. It was not comparable to the First Order Nine Apertures, so it could not bring Lu Ye much improvement. At most, it would increase his total spiritual energy reserves in the future.
In the final analysis, the cultivation of the Spirit Stream Realm was a process from quantitative to qualitative change. When enough spiritual apertures were opened, one's spiritual energy would flow through them, and after a Minor Heavenly Cycle, one's strength would increase by leaps and bounds! Before this, the biggest effect of opening one's apertures was to increase one's spiritual energy reserves. It would not directly increase one's strength.
This was common knowledge in cultivation. Every cultivator would have a master to teach them at the beginning of their cultivation. However, Lu Ye was stranded in the Spirit Stream Battlefield with no one to rely on. There was no one to teach him this, so he could only rely on his own comprehension.
