Chapter 400: Chapter 366: Dharma Aspect

One is a pioneer, the other a successor. The difference in difficulty and future potential is naturally incomparable.

Of course, if it weren’t for the Blank Deity from the system’s reward, his first attempt at refining Wealth Qi would have likely been rejected, or even annihilated, by his body’s original Primordial Qi, which would have treated it as a foreign energy.

Right now, Chen Li needed to take two more steps to manifest the Righteous Wealth Law.

First, he had to use the Righteous Wealth Cultivation Method as a foundation to cultivate Primordial Qi that contained the Righteous Wealth Law.

Second, he had to use this Primordial Qi to refill all the meridians and the three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints throughout his body.

Once that was done, the Law would manifest on its own!

With his mind at ease, the path forward became clear.

Without any further hesitation, Chen Li immediately began to break through his bottleneck.

For an ordinary Cultivator, changing their fundamental Cultivation Technique—especially after having progressed so far down one path—was a near-certain path to death with only the slimmest chance of survival.

The old Primordial Qi would clash with the new energy, and the Law runes would reject one another. In a mild case, their Cultivation would be completely crippled. In a severe case, they would die and their Dao would be annihilated.

But Chen Li had more than just the Blank Deity. He also had the Tuo Dragon Pearl and Cyan Lotus Seeds containing a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. This gave him the capital to achieve the impossible.

’Time to begin.’

Chen Li calmed his mind and focused his thoughts. He stripped away all the Primordial Qi stored within his Primordial Spirit and physical body, injecting it into the Little World inside the Tuo Dragon Pearl. There, he stored it away, completely isolating it and severing all connection to his body.

In that instant, Chen Li felt an unprecedented void inside him.

Not only were his meridians and Acupoints utterly empty, but even his Primordial Spirit, residing in the center of his sea of consciousness, felt as if it had been completely wiped clean.

The first step: planting the seed.

He calmed his mind and focused, drawing the Inner Qi that contained the True Wealth Rune out from his Dantian and moving it to his Divine Hall Acupoint.

His Primordial Spirit focused on it. Guided by his understanding of the Righteous Wealth Law, he activated the Cultivation Technique. His Primordial Spirit then began to refine the Inner Qi, using the Inner Cultivation Method and a special breathing technique.

After an unknown amount of time, the True Wealth Inner Qi transformed into a strand of pale golden Primordial Qi, thinner than a wisp of hair.

The seed was formed; now it needed fertile soil for nourishment.

Chen Li flipped his palm, and a crystal-clear Cyan Lotus Seed, wreathed in swirling Primordial Qi, appeared in his palm.

Without hesitation, he placed the Lotus Seed in his mouth.

The moment the Lotus Seed entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into an indescribably vast and pure surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which erupted inside him like a volcano.

Chen Li dared not be careless for even a moment.

His Primordial Spirit fully activated the Innate Qi Gathering Technique. Like a great whale swallowing the ocean, it frantically absorbed and refined the burst of pure Primordial Qi.

Once refined by the Primordial Spirit, the massive amount of pure Primordial Qi was channeled into the single strand of pale golden Primordial Qi.

That hair-thin strand of pale golden Primordial Qi began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It grew from a mere wisp into a stream, then from a stream into a gurgling river...

Meanwhile, the initial rune of the Righteous Wealth Law, attached to the core of this Primordial Qi, began to constantly divide, replicate, and strengthen, nourished by the massive influx of Primordial Qi from the same source.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into countless fine, pale golden runes. As if they had a life of their own, they connected head to tail, weaving into a net and firmly branding themselves onto the newly born Righteous Wealth Primordial Qi.

The Primordial Qi from one Cyan Lotus Seed was soon completely depleted.

Without any pause, Chen Li immediately consumed a second Cyan Lotus Seed.

The vast Primordial Qi erupted once more!

The Primordial Spirit converted it at full force.

The river of Righteous Wealth Primordial Qi grew increasingly turbulent. Having filled the acupoint to the brim, it began to surge forth from the Divine Hall Acupoint like a flood bursting through a dam.

GUSH...

The pale golden torrent of Primordial Qi flowed mightily along the Twelve Main Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Wherever it passed, the meridians were like parched riverbeds after a long drought, greedily soaking up this new Primordial Qi.

After the meridians came the three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints of his body.

Like lakes and reservoirs along a river’s course, these Acupoints were rapidly filled one by one by the influx of Righteous Wealth Primordial Qi.

With each Acupoint that was filled, it was as if a tiny golden star ignited within his body, its light shimmering in harmony with the great river of Primordial Qi flowing through his meridians.

When the vast Primordial Qi from the fourth Cyan Lotus Seed was finally and completely refined and absorbed, Chen Li’s entire body suddenly trembled.

VMM!

An unprecedented sense of Perfection filled Chen Li’s Primordial Spirit.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians were completely unobstructed, and the Primordial Qi flowed endlessly.

The three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints shone brilliantly, as if all the stars in the heavens had been lit up.

As water overflows when full, so too did the Law manifest naturally!

In that instant, a sudden transformation began!

Chen Li’s Primordial Spirit involuntarily let out a subtle, vibrating hum.

VMM! VMM! VMM!...

Starting from the Dantian Qi Sea, the True Wealth Runes branded into his Primordial Qi and physical body were activated one by one, like a golden path of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Countless runes flickered, following a predetermined path, and finally converged towards his all-commanding Primordial Spirit.

CLANG!

The ringing of Divine Gold, the first sound of the Great Dao.

Chen Li’s Primordial Spirit instantly erupted in a brilliant, boundless golden light.

At the center of that resplendent golden light, an incredibly solid Order Divine Chain—woven and entwined from countless golden runes—slowly materialized, floating gently.

The Law Divine Chain had been manifested by his Primordial Spirit.

The Eighth Stage of the Spirit Realm, Magic-Related—achieved!
