Chapter 34: Flawless Body, Ten Million Catties!
Chapter 34: Flawless Body, Ten Million Catties!
When reaching the Zhou Tian Realmperfection, with 54 meridians, one gains an additional 4,320 cycles of strength, which translates to over 800,000 catties of immense power!
However, the Imperial Family possesses the Dong Huang Sutra and the Dayu First Meridian Opening Technique, which can open 62 meridians, adding 8 more Circulating Heaven meridians. This translates to an additional 600,000 catties of strength.
But this is not Li Hao's limit.
The Great Yin Pulse is equivalent to ten meridians, providing 2,480 cycles of strength, which is nearly 500,000 catties!
Moreover, Li Hao's cultivation techniques are not limited to the Dragon River Divine Vein. He also practices the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, which is a Meridian Opening technique, along with three mid-tier Meridian Opening techniques and several low-tier ones.
However, the low-tier Meridian Opening techniques only open the easiest major meridians, which are already covered by the mid-tier techniques, rendering them ineffective.
But the Nine Revolutions Star Technique combined with the three mid-tier Meridian Opening techniques allows Li Hao to open major meridians not covered by the Dragon River Divine Vein. As a result, he has now opened 69 major meridians!
This exceeds the number of meridians opened by the Imperial Family's Dong Huang Sutra!
Li Hao is not content with this achievement. Now, he plans to rely on his own bodily insights to deduce the fourth level of the *Primordial* technique, breaking through the Mystic Pass Body!
"The first level gathers the forces of heaven and earth's yin and yang. The second level involves the celestial stars. The third level taps into the body's subtle Yin Pulse. For the fourth level, I hope to open the Sun Pulse, merging the yin and yang pulses!"
Li Hao's idea is not a mere fantasy. With his insights at the fifth stage of Flesh Dao, he is already a half-master in Body Cultivation.
What is a master? A master can create their own martial arts and establish a sect!
Li Hao does not know how the original fourth level of the *Primordial* technique is practiced, nor does he need to. The Li Family has long failed to gather the complete technique, and it has likely been lost to history.
Given this, he will continue the legacy of this top-tier Body Refinement Technique by writing a new chapter!
To let the pearl shine once more!
A few days later.
By the Blackwater Demon Lake.
Li Hao sat outside the fishing platform, suddenly feeling an insight. His blood qi surged, and his bones vibrated beneath his skin. The internal qi energy raced through his 69 major meridians, eventually converging at the top of his head, as if trying to burst his brain!
This was an extremely dangerous endeavor, but Li Hao's control over his body was already at a microscopic level. He could fold his ears shut at will, and every bone in his body moved as flexibly as fingers, capable of exerting force!
With a loud boom, his brain seemed to vibrate, and a wave of swelling pain washed over him.
Li Hao gritted his teeth and endured, until the qi energy suddenly found an outlet and burst forth, then returned through the other end, forming a cycle!
A brilliant light shone in Li Hao's eyes, filled with excitement and anticipation.
Finally, he succeeded!
The Great Yin Pulse is a wandering meridian, appearing at different times in various parts of the body, making it extremely difficult to locate and control. This is why it is called the Yin Pulse, symbolizing its elusive nature.
However, the Sun Pulse is fixed within the skull.
Compared to the Great Yin Pulse, the Sun Pulse is even more dangerous. No one dares to attempt opening it, as failure can result in severe consequences, ranging from mental disability to death by cranial explosion!
Though one meridian is equivalent to ten, very few would take such a huge risk for the additional ten meridians' worth of strength, given the high failure rate.
Only certain Martial Dao fanatics and world-class geniuses would dare such a reckless act!
With the Sun Pulse now opened, Li Hao immediately felt the Yin Pulse find an anchor, gradually moving toward the Sun Pulse and entwining with it.
"Yin and yang merging, I shall name the fourth level, Yin-Yang... no, Flawless Body!"
Li Hao checked his status panel, and to his delight, the *Primordial* technique indeed advanced to the fourth level, named Flawless Body, achieving a minor success!
Li Hao immediately directed the yin and yang pulses, circulating the internal qi energy repeatedly to familiarize himself with the process.
Soon, the intertwining of the yin and yang pulses created a faint vortex of special energy.
Through this vortex, Li Hao glimpsed a glimmer of golden light within his skull.
He tried to reach it with his qi energy but found it exceedingly distant, almost unreachable.
"Legend says the human body has 108 major meridians. If all are opened, perhaps... I can touch that golden light." Li Hao's mind was filled with a sense of enlightenment.
This insight came from his Flesh Dao, rich in cultivation memories that gave him an extraordinary understanding of his body's blood and flesh.
Body Cultivation is by no means simple, nor is it as bleak as the old man and the others make it out to be, with little future. On the contrary, Li Hao believes that the reason Body Cultivation is undervalued is because the Body Cultivation techniques within the Rain Listening Pavilion are not of high enough caliber. Even a technique like the Thousand Dragon Sacred Body, which is housed on the sixth floor, can only be cultivated to the Soul Succession Realm on the fourth floor!
Other cultivation techniques, however, can reach the pinnacle.
Body Cultivators are often overlooked for various reasons, including the difficulty of cultivation and the scarcity of techniques. Li Hao believes that the lack of Body Cultivation techniques is a significant factor. If the Li Family, with its vast resources, has so few Body Cultivation techniques, what can be said of other places?
Li Hao looked at the panel, where the Flawless Body, which had previously reached a minor success, had now achieved major success!
The convergence of the Yin and Yang meridians seemed to connect with all the major meridians in his body, allowing him to instantly gather and coordinate the Qi Power from all the major meridians, as if erecting a Dragon Spine within his body!
Li Hao tried it out, suddenly throwing a punch.
Whoosh! The wind from his punch roared like a tiger, pressing the water several dozen feet ahead into a slight depression and creating ripples with a diameter of about seven to eight meters!
If this punch had landed, it would have been no less impactful than a cannonball hitting the water, creating a massive splash!
Li Hao was momentarily stunned, his eyes filled with amazement.
Through the detailed sensation of his body, he knew just how terrifying the power of his punch had been.
With the ability to condense the power of all his major meridians, his strength had doubled!
It's important to note that with the convergence of the Yin and Yang meridians, plus the original 69 major meridians he had opened, he now had the equivalent of 89 major meridians.
Each major meridian cycles 248 times, bringing his total strength to 4.5 million pounds!
With a doubled burst, his strength approached 9 million pounds!!
This was nearly the level of divine strength, surpassing even a Zhou Tian Realm true dragon, which could not possess such formidable power.
Even the royal geniuses, who master top-tier luck and Meridian Opening techniques, only have 2 million pounds of strength, unless they can activate two major meridians. If they only have one, they lack the ability to instantly condense the power of all their major meridians, thus failing to double their strength!
"No wonder Uncle Nine is so terrifying. With the convergence of two meridians, his strength can double instantly. It's truly frightening."
Li Hao's eyes gleamed with a strange light. He couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be if all 108 major meridians were fully opened!
After all, an ordinary Zhou Tian Realm cultivator only has 20,000 pounds of strength, which is the absolute minimum. Even the majority of tenth-stage Zhou Tian Realm cultivators have at least 100,000 pounds of strength, but compared to Li Hao, the gap is still enormous.
"With my current strength, I could easily defeat the elite tenth-stage Zhou Tian Realm warriors of the Yuan Camp!"
Li Hao thought to himself.
The elite warriors of the Yuan Camp, at the tenth stage, have 500,000 pounds of strength, making them as weak as children in his presence.
The imperial geniuses are four times as strong as the Yuan Camp warriors, and he is four times as strong as the imperial geniuses!
Li Hao retracted his punch and regulated his breathing.
After exerting the doubled power of his Yin and Yang meridians, he felt a significant drain on his stamina, making it impractical for frequent use. However, in a critical confrontation, it would be enough for a fatal blow!
When his body relaxed, Li Hao looked towards the Monster Lake but saw no sign of Second Uncle, who had gone to find the trail of the Old Dragon of the Monster Lake. The lake spanned several thousand miles, with deep waters, making it difficult to detect a hidden demon dragon.
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound caught his attention.
Li Hao's ears perked up, and he turned to see a snow-white figure moving in the withered leaves, as if hiding.
In a flash, he approached the figure and found a small, snow-white fox, about the size of a newborn puppy.
Upon closer inspection, the fox had no demonic aura, indicating it was an ordinary wild fox.
"Little one, how did you end up here? Where are your parents?"
Li Hao bent down and picked up the small fox from the leaves.
The fox's ears had a touch of orange and red, suggesting it was a cross between a white fox and a red fox. As soon as Li Hao picked it up, it started to push and struggle with its tiny paws.
Li Hao placed the fox on his hand and looked around, but saw no sign of the adult fox. Could this little one have sneaked out of its den?
Seeing this, Li Hao put the fox back on the ground, hoping its parents would come looking for it.
The little fox struggled to crawl through the leaves, moving slowly and clumsily, far from agile.
Li Hao smiled, not paying much attention, and returned to the lakeside to continue fishing.
Not long after, a figure flew back, and it was Li Muxiu.
Seeing his empty hands, Li Hao knew he had failed to find the demon dragon. The old man had searched numerous times over the past half-year, and it was clear that the dragon was extremely cautious and cunning, having lived for at least a few thousand years to reach a level that Li Muxiu could recognize.
"Hmph."
Seeing Li Hao's smiling face, Li Muxiu huffed and said, "How about you? Any Air Force?"
"Caught a small one, Force Mastery", Li Hao chuckled.
Li Muxiu rolled his eyes, even more irritated.
As the sun began to set, Li Muxiu hastily caught a Force Mastery Fish Demon to avoid the risk of Air Force and then took Li Hao back to Qingzhou City.
Before leaving, Li Hao noticed that the little fox had crawled to a distant spot but had not been found by its parents. He asked the old man to check, and after a thorough search, the old man found only a pool of blood and some white fox fur. It appeared that the adult fox had been eaten by some other demon beast.
Such incidents are common in the wild. Li Hao sighed, found the little fox, which was naively climbing around, and carried it back to Qingzhou City.
In the withered leaves of Mountain and River Courtyard, a touch of snow-white now added to the scene.
