The Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps was derived from the most common Eight Trigrams Steps after Wang Yan comprehended the positional changes of the Eight Trigrams. However, because the Eight Trigrams Steps were too shallow and only connected two meridians, the Spleen Meridian of the Foot Taiyin and the Stomach Meridian of the Foot Yangming, there was a limit to how much Qi could be used. Even the 128 positional changes of the Eight Trigrams could not be fully displayed. (

With Wang Yan's original cultivation, knowledge, and martial arts, the Eight Trigrams Swimming Steps was the limit of what he could create. But now the situation was completely different. In terms of Lightness Skills, Wang Yan not only learned the Sword-stepping Steps, but also learned the Sky-climbing Steps and Cloud-treading Steps of the Nine Steps in Heaven. Even if the latter two were not Lightness Skills of the Body Movement, they were still Lightness Skills and had some similarities. More importantly, the Sky-walking Steps and Cloud-treading Steps were related to the Six Meridians. If he could improve the Eight Trigrams Swimming Steps by referring to the Qi movement method of the Nine Steps in Heaven, there would be fewer restrictions. And the key method of Internal Strength jumping could be supplemented by the Yuan Qiao Technique. In this way, not only could Wang Yan integrate the 128 positional changes of the Eight Trigrams Swimming Steps into it, he might even go further.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan took out a book from his arms. It was the "Essentials of the Nine Palaces" that he got from Shujian Zhuang.
The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams were both Qimen and had similarities with each other. But each had its own mystery. If he could combine the two and take the mystery of their respective changes, the changes of the Body Movement would be more exquisite and the opponent would not be able to figure it out.
Wang Yan had a strong desire to improve the Eight Trigrams Wandering Body Steps again. Previously, he had relied on this self-created Qing Gong to gain the upper hand in the competition with Wang Mocheng. Even when he faced a master in the Cultivating Embryo Stage, he was rarely at a disadvantage in terms of body movements. After all, this body movement was created by him. He knew all kinds of changes in his body movement and could use it as he pleased.
But as he grew stronger, the situations he faced became more complicated, and the enemies he faced became stronger. The Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps could no longer keep up. Putting everything else aside, just last night when he was trapped in a deadly situation, if Wang Yan's Qinggong had not been completely suppressed by He Sixiu, he would not have been nearly beheaded by Qin Weiming.
For warriors, Martial Arts, Lightness Skill, and Secret Skills all complemented each other. They were all important parts of strength. In the past six months, Wang Yan's swordsmanship had improved greatly. He had also comprehended the Sword Essence. He had also created the Formless Non-Self Sword and the Spinning Sword Light that he had comprehended from the Black Line Python. If he didn't have a special opportunity, it would be difficult for his swordsmanship to improve greatly in a short period of time. As for the Secret Skills, the Soft Silk Formula was a skill that required constant practice. The Sword Light Division was not the more sword lights the better. Instead, it was the right way to control the sword lights that were split. Therefore, unless Wang Yan could suddenly gain a lot of experience and push the Finger Twisting Technique to the Advanced Level, he would not be able to make great progress in the Secret Skills in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, at Wang Yan's current level of strength, ordinary players could only provide him with a negligible amount of EXP. Unless he could kill tens of thousands of low-tiered players at once, it would be very difficult for him to gain much EXP. However, that was practically impossible. As for the players in the Nurturing Embryo Stage, they could naturally provide Wang Yan with a good amount of experience. However, Nurturing Embryo Stage players were in the minority, and those like Gu Xiaoyue were even rarer. Wang Yan was not crazy enough to attack Gu Xiaoyue just for a little bit of experience.
Taking all aspects into consideration, the only thing that could improve Wang Yan's strength in a short period of time was Lightness Skill. The way to improve it was to improve the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps.
As Wang Yan pondered for a while, he felt that the idea of improving the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps was feasible. In the end, he calmed his mind and studied the various aspects of improving the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps. From the Qi Circulation Aperture of each meridian in the Six Meridians of the Foot, to the crucial Inner Strength Jumping, and to the mysterious changes of the Eight Trigrams Nine Palaces, Wang Yan fully immersed himself in it. From time to time, he would flip through the "Essentials of the Nine Palaces" and the "Yuan Qiao Technique".
He had been in possession of the "Essentials of the Nine Palaces" for quite some time. During this period of time, he took it out and studied it. He even verified it with his own understanding of the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps. As for the Yuan Qiao Technique, on one hand, Wang Yan studied the Inner Strength Jumping, and on the other hand, he focused on studying the Six Meridians of the Foot. With only these two aspects, with Wang Yan's current level of comprehension, it did not take him too long to learn the Yuan Qiao Technique and completely comprehend the Six Meridians of the Foot.
A day and a night passed just like that. During this period, other than the meals brought by the disciples of Yunma School, no one else came to Wang Yan's room. Wang Yan was completely immersed in his own world, forgetting everything else as he improved the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps.
When the first rays of dawn shone into the room, Wang Yan finally stopped. After he slowly put away the "Essentials of the Nine Palaces" and the "Yuan Qiao Technique", his eyes flashed. Then, he slapped his palms on the bed and leaped into the empty space in the room. Immediately after, he tapped one foot on the ground and his figure immediately turned around. When the other foot landed, the sound of the wind whistling could be heard as Wang Yan's figure flashed and reappeared in front of the bed.
Behind him, Wang Yan's footwork repeatedly changed. His figure drifted back and forth, elusive and elusive. He was clearly standing in front of the room a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he was already sitting at the table and picking up the bowls and chopsticks on the table. People thought that he was going to eat the food that had already turned cold, but with a light tap of his foot, his figure blurred, and the bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table. His figure once again appeared by the window sill.
After a short while, Wang Yan finally stopped. His face was full of satisfaction. He couldn't help but check the status of his martial arts, but to his surprise, the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps had disappeared.
"Self-created lightness skill – Wonder Gate Ring Body Formula. Grade unknown. Currently incomplete. Unable to display cultivation progress."
The original Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps had been improved into this so-called "Wonder Ring Body Steps". Wang Yan wasn't surprised that the information showed that it was incomplete. This qinggong was only created on the basis of the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps. It had only initially solved the limitations of the meridians and some of the key points of the internal energy. Moreover, the subtle changes of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams had yet to be fully integrated into it. However, Wang Yan believed that as time passed, he would gradually perfect this qinggong. In the end, this Wonder Ring Body Steps would far surpass the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps. It shouldn't be a problem for it to reach Yellow Rank High Grade, and it might even become a Black Rank qinggong.
To be able to improve the Eight Trigrams Roaming Body Steps to this extent in just one day and night, Wang Yan was already very satisfied. Feeling very happy, Wang Yan couldn't help but take out the Yuan Orifice Technique again. This secret technique was truly extraordinary. If it wasn't for his encounter with Gu Xiaoyue and his arrogance, how could Wang Yan have obtained such a secret technique?
More importantly, this Yuan Orifice Art didn't just record the method to circulate one's inner force. The second part also recorded a small five apertures meridian that Gu Xiaoyue had mentioned before, as well as the method to open up the meridian and the method to cultivate it.
A small meridian didn't seem to be that important. After all, martial artists had to open the Twelve Standard Meridians at the Meridian Connecting Realm. After that, during the process of nurturing the fetus, they still needed to open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians one after another. Just these twenty meridians and more than a hundred apertures were already complicated enough. The order of Qi flowing through the meridians and the changes of internal energy between different meridians were almost endless. A small meridian with five apertures naturally seemed insignificant in comparison.
However, this wasn't the case. As mentioned earlier, the ultimate use of swordsmanship still depended on the hand holding the sword, which was stimulated by the internal energy emitted from the apertures on the palm. As for the use of swordsmanship, it was nothing more than increasing speed, increasing strength, changing sword moves, and the use of sword energy. Each of these involved the apertures on the palm and the various changes and uses of internal energy.
Although there were more than a hundred apertures in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Standard Meridians, there were only a dozen apertures on the palm. Most of the martial arts in the world were created according to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Standard Meridians. In other words, the dozen apertures on the palm controlled the power of a martial art.
For example, an ordinary person's speed of swinging a sword was 1, and a fast sword move that focused on speed connected all the six meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the hand. When it was used, it needed to stimulate internal energy from sixteen apertures on the palm. If the internal energy stimulated from each aperture could increase the speed of swinging the sword by ten percent, then the final speed of the sword would be about 4.6 times the speed of an ordinary person.
However, if some swordsmanship could stimulate internal energy from more apertures on the palm at the same time after combining with other meridians, what would the effect be like?
The Five Yin Jiaoyuan meridian recorded in the Origin Orifice Technique started from the Sinking Meridian, two inches below the armpit, then connected to the Covering Meridian at the elbow, and then to the Connecting Meridian between the wrist meridian and the palm. In the end, it was divided into two, one was the Yin Meridian between the palm and the middle finger, and the other was the Yin Side Meridian on the right side of the back of the hand. In other words, this Five Yin Meridian had a total of three apertures on the palm.
In other words, if the hypothetical sword move could be added to the Qi channeling method of this small meridian, and the internal energy was stimulated from nineteen apertures, then the final speed of this sword move would reach 6.1 times the speed of an ordinary person. Three apertures meant an increase of about twenty-five percent. The effect was extremely significant.
This principle was also common to other ways of using sword techniques, and even palm techniques had the same principle. However, this was only an ideal situation. It was not easy to add a new Qi channeling meridian into any established sword move. Not only did it require an extremely high level of comprehension, but it also required an extraordinary understanding of martial arts. In particular, the balance was extremely difficult to control, and it required a long period of research and experimentation. However, there was a possibility of success in the end.
In other words, as long as Wang Yan could open this Five Yin Jiaoyuan Meridian, his swordsmanship would have an upper limit of twenty-five percent in the future. Even if he could not immediately improve it with his current conditions, it was, after all, a clear path to greatly improve his swordsmanship. As long as he put in more effort in the future, Wang Yan firmly believed that he could completely integrate the Five Yin Jiaoyuan Meridian into his swordsmanship.
After understanding the various cultivation points of this Essence Orifice Technique, Wang Yan realized that Gu Xiaoyue's explanation of this secret technique was not accurate. In reality, the Essence Orifice Technique's internal energy circulation method could not directly increase the speed of drawing the sword. Even if it could reduce the sluggishness during the circulation of internal energy, the effect was not obvious. What could truly greatly improve his swordsmanship was the Five Yin Jiaoyuan Meridian.
However, Gu Xiaoyue could not be blamed for this. After all, she was a player. Even if she flipped through the secret manual, her understanding of it was only superficial, and it was difficult for her to understand the key points. Therefore, this secret technique, which was only somewhat peculiar to Gu Xiaoyue and could slightly improve one's martial arts, was equivalent to a cultivation manual for Wang Yan. Wang Yan also did not expect that he would pick up such a treasure in the competition he had on a whim.
When he thought of this point, Wang Yan's heart became even happier as he involuntarily laughed out loud. Before his laughter could die down, the room's door was pushed open as a cold and indifferent voice that seemed to contain some other meaning entered Wang Yan's ears.
