Chapter 28: Qi Power Unification, Ten Thousand Catties!
Qi Circulation!
The Qi Power, as thick as a python, rapidly circulated within his body. Despite it being his first time using it, the rich memories in his mind made it feel as if he had been immersed in this path for decades. The moment his body began to mobilize the Qi Power, he entered a state of instinctive action.
A faint rumbling, like distant thunder, echoed within his meridians as a major channel was opened by the surging Qi Power. With the major channel unblocked, the Qi Power flowed smoothly and swiftly, completing sixteen Circulating Heavens in a single breath!
Li Hao then performed the technique a second time, this time with even greater proficiency, his body gradually synchronizing with his memories.
Thirty-eight Circulating Heavens in a single breath.
Fifty-two Circulating Heavens in a single breath on the third attempt.
On the fourth, fifth, and subsequent attempts, he reached one hundred Circulating Heavens in a single breath by the seventh attempt!
The Hundred Jiaolong Body, also known as the Hundred Circulations Body, is named so because when fully cultivated, it achieves precisely one hundred Circulating Heavens!
At this moment, Li Hao glanced at his status panel and noticed that his Cultivation level was no longer at the Tenth Level of Power Mastery but had advanced to the First Level of the Zhou Tian Realm.
Formally entering the Zhou Tian Realm, Li Hao felt the surging Qi Power in the major channel, brimming with vitality. Compared to before, it was as if his body had gained an additional spine, making him stand tall and strong.
He could now effortlessly channel Circulating Heaven with every movement, bursting with far greater power than before!
Overjoyed, Li Hao then proceeded to practice the Primordial technique.
Following the memories, he practiced from the second layer, Star Body, to the third layer, Mystic Pass Body!
As he practiced, the Qi Power within Li Hao's body surged even more fiercely, like a raging river!
Li Hao discovered that the Mystic Pass Body contained a Qi Circulation Technique that was not inferior to the Hundred Jiaolong Body, and it was even more formidable!
Li Muxiu hadn't mentioned this to him, likely because the old man hadn't delved deeply into this martial art. After all, it was a Body Cultivation technique, and being a fragment, the old man probably hadn't considered having Li Hao practice it.
With each repeated practice, Li Hao's body underwent significant changes, and a second major channel slowly opened within him!
This second major channel was extremely thick and robust, capable of containing far more Qi Power than the first major channel!
This major channel, the core of the Mystic Pass Body, was known as the Yin Pulse!
From the technique's description, Li Hao learned that the Yin Pulse had another name in martial arts: the Great Yin Pulse!
Li Hao checked his Cultivation level; although he had opened a second major channel, it remained at the First Level of the Zhou Tian Realm, showing no further advancement.
This Great Yin Pulse was like a hidden major channel, not counted among the others.
The hundred jiaolong Qi Power that had been in the first major channel now flowed into the Great Yin Pulse, circulating between the two channels. The Qi Power that had almost filled the first major channel now seemed like a mere stream within the Great Yin Pulse, unable to even touch the inner walls.
Thunderous and tiger-like roars echoed within Li Hao's body, like a slumbering beast slowly opening its eyes.
The external force emitted by the surging Qi Power scattered the dust around him, leaving a three-foot radius free of dust!
The enlightenment of the third stage of the Flesh Dao had given Li Hao a deep understanding of both techniques. He immediately sensed that the Qi Circulation Techniques of the two methods overlapped and intersected in places.
With a thought, he simultaneously performed both techniques. Soon, the two Qi Circulation Techniques began to interact, dividing the Qi Power into two streams that chased each other like two dragons within the major channels.
As Li Hao practiced more and more, he gradually became more proficient, and the two streams of Qi Power began to intertwine and merge.
This was the interaction and fusion of cultivation techniques!
The overlapping parts were covered, and the intersecting areas merged into one, which resulted in his Qi Power circulating even faster.
From One Pulse Hundred Zhou, it reached one pulse with one hundred and thirty-two Zhou!
This was an increase of thirty-two Zhou in circulation speed!
This achievement had already surpassed the Li Family's top Qi Circulation Technique, the *Hundred Battles Circuit Technique*.
It was worth noting that, apart from the Imperial Clan, this was one of the top Qi Circulation Techniques in Dayu, something that martial artists across the land aspired to and sought after.
At this moment, as the Qi Power flowed through the Great Yin Pulse, Li Hao noticed a special, extremely cold and yin force circulating within his body. If he were to cultivate certain techniques like Ice Palm or Ice Spirit Body, it would be much more efficient!
After his cultivation session, Li Hao planned to investigate what the Great Yin Pulse was.
However, he continued to practice the third top Body Refinement Technique, the Dragon Cicada Vacuum Body.
Compared to the first two, the third level of this technique was slightly inferior.
The Leaping Shell Body contained a Qi Circulation Technique, but it only had seventy-two Circulating Heaven. In other words, practicing this technique alone could help Li Hao break through to the Zhou Tian Realm.
Leaping Shell allowed for a brief moment of flight in the air using Qi-Controlled Force.
It was important to note that the ability to hover in the air was a power typically possessed by Soul Succession Realm cultivators.
However, the hovering distance of the Leaping Shell Body was not comparable to that of the Soul Succession Realm. It could only provide some unexpected benefits in special combat situations, with a limited increase in direct combat power.
On the other hand, the second level of the Dragon Cicada Vacuum Body was quite powerful. When Li Hao was at the Flesh Dao 1st Rank, he had only practiced it to the minor success stage. Now, at the second level of the Crouching Dragon Body, he had reached the perfect stage!
This gave him a terrifying, dragon-elephant-like strength, a pure enhancement of his physical power, at least twenty thousand pounds!
Li Hao estimated that his current brute strength alone was around fifty thousand pounds.
It was indeed an exaggeration.
At the third segment of the Flesh Dao, Li Hao could roughly gauge his body's condition without needing to test it.
When combined with the Qi Power circulating within his body, he could unleash a force of around one hundred thousand pounds!
One cycle of Qi Power circulation was equivalent to one Ding Force.
At one hundred and thirty-two cycles, that was one hundred and thirty-two ding, and with two pulses, it was two hundred and sixty-four ding!
Each ding was two hundred pounds, totaling around fifty thousand pounds.
Such strength was enough to easily shatter the body of an ordinary Zhou Tian Realm cultivator at the perfect stage.
An ordinary Zhou Tian Realm cultivator with ten pulses and ten Circulating Heaven at the perfect stage was the lowest tier of the Zhou Tian Realm, with little hope of advancing to the Soul Continuation Realm. Their Qi Power was only one hundred ding, or around twenty thousand pounds.
At the first level of the Zhou Tian Realm, one pulse with ten Zhou was equivalent to an additional two thousand pounds of strength. While this was nearly double the thirty-six hundred pounds of Qi Power of a typical Force Mastery Realm cultivator, Divine Blood individuals doubled their Force Mastery strength to seven thousand two hundred pounds, and at the perfect stage of Force Mastery, they could even challenge ordinary first-level Zhou Tian Realm cultivators!
This was the power of Divine Blood individuals.
Moreover, this did not include the additional enhancements brought by techniques and cultivation methods.
After all, what Martial Artist hasn't learned a couple of signature techniques?
Especially for those with Divine Blood, the quality of their techniques is bound to be high, making the gap even wider. A typical Divine Blood Martial Artist at the peak of Force Mastery can easily defeat a Martial Artist at the second or third level of the Zhou Tian Realm through their techniques alone.
Some exceptional individuals can even fight against opponents four or five levels higher!
By the time a Martial Artist reaches the Zhou Tian Realm, the disparity caused by different techniques and cultivation resources will further widen, affecting both combat power and cultivation speed.
Take the Li Family's two supreme Qi circulation techniques and meridian-opening techniques, for example. If both are perfected, a Martial Artist at the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm can possess a strength of one million pounds!
The weakest among them would have only twenty thousand pounds of strength, a fifty-fold difference!
However, ordinary Martial Artists at the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm rarely practice the weakest Qi circulation technique, which is the lowest standard. Everyone has some opportunities, and even without them, they can still strive and earn medium-grade Qi circulation techniques and meridian-opening techniques through military service.
For instance, the Yuan Camp, which was once led by an ancestor of the Li Family, ensures that every warrior selected can cultivate high-grade Qi circulation techniques and meridian-opening techniques. This makes the Yuan Camp's ten thousand soldiers far superior to ordinary armies numbering in the millions!
Li Hao felt the surging Qi Power within him and smiled.
The terrifying enhancement brought by techniques far surpasses that of Divine Blood. After all, Divine Blood can only double the base strength of 3,600 pounds from Force Mastery, whereas techniques can do much more.
For him now, a mere few thousand pounds of strength increase is insignificant.
"Without considering Tiger Pressure, Flying Segment, and the Endless Sea Sword Technique, just in terms of physical combat, I should be able to easily defeat a Martial Artist at the tenth level of the Zhou Tian Realm who has no background. However, compared to the warriors of the Yuan Camp at the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm, I am still far behind", Li Hao thought to himself.
The warriors of the Yuan Camp are like fierce tigers of the Dayu, and the Yuan Army is a synonym for death among the Yanbei Demons.
Once the Yuan Army's banner is raised, the Demons tremble in fear. The reason is that these warriors, who cultivate high-grade Qi circulation techniques and meridian-opening techniques, can possess a strength of five hundred thousand pounds at the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm!
Imagine the terror of ten thousand such warriors on the battlefield!
Moreover, the Zhou Tian Realm is just the weakest rank in the Yuan Camp.
"Right now, I can barely spar with the Yuan Camp's warriors at the third or fourth level of the Zhou Tian Realm, but their combat experience is so rich that I might not even be able to match them", Li Hao reflected.
Despite the significant improvement, Li Hao's heart did not swell with pride.
He then integrated the third level of the Dragon Cicada Vacuum Body's Qi Circulation Technique, further eliminating overlapping parts. This increased his Qi circulation speed to 143 cycles per breath, surpassing the Hundred Battles Circuit Technique by fifteen cycles. By the time he reaches the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm, this difference will be even more significant.
However, compared to the Imperial Clan's Heavenly Circuit Technique, it still falls short.
Li Hao then practiced various Body Refinement Techniques of different grades, achieving a perfect synchronization between memory and body.
This further enhanced his physical strength to around 15,000 pounds, a result of the cumulative effects of dozens of techniques. Additionally, his entire body, including his vision, hearing, and skin sensitivity, was greatly enhanced, improving several times over.
These enhancements would significantly impact the outcome of any battle.
Afterward, Li Hao searched through the building for information on the Great Yin Pulse.
