Chapter 48: Chapter 20: Thirty-Six Acupoints, Spirit Core Formation

This time, Jiang Xuan’s target was the Heart Palace Fire Acupoint.

Wood Generates Fire. After using the Wood Qi of the Liver to ignite his Heart Fire, the pure Power of Heart Fire swiftly refined the unowned Spiritual Qi from the outside. The next instant, streams of Magical Power poured into one of the nine acupoints in his Heart Palace.

HUMMM—!

The infusion of Spiritual Qi caused the acupoint at Jiang Xuan’s heart to gradually solidify.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a clear hum vibrated through his Divine Soul as the mystical acupoint completely solidified from illusory to real, settling firmly in place!

The moment this thirty-sixth acupoint solidified, a heaven-and-earth-shattering change occurred within Jiang Xuan’s body.

HUMMM HUMMM HUMMM—!

The thirty-five acupoints he had previously opened all began to tremble and resonate in unison. This chorus of acupoints caused the qi, blood, and Magical Power throughout his body to vibrate at the same frequency. An irresistible force was generated, forcibly dragging an ethereal, hidden reservoir within his body out from the void.

That was his Lower Dantian, also known as the Primordial Sea, the Gate of Profound Yin—the very foundation of life in the human body, where essence is stored and qi is gathered.

Its manifestation was not instantaneous. Just like opening an acupoint, it had to be condensed from nothingness into reality, bit by bit.

However, acupoints are nurtured into existence by a Cultivator’s Magical Power, while the Dantian’s Spirit Core requires the synchronized resonance of all the body’s acupoints to manifest from the void.

During this process, Jiang Xuan could clearly feel the Magical Power stored in his acupoints being rapidly consumed. The continuous resonance of the acupoints also constantly battered his Five Viscera and the meridians of his Flesh Body. The slightest mistake could disrupt the flow of his Magical Power.

Just as Dong Hao had said, this kind of resonance was inherently risky. If he were disturbed midway through, or if his Magical Power proved insufficient, the manifestation of the Dantian’s Spirit Core would fail outright.

’If I’m not mistaken, the manifestation of the Dantian’s Spirit Core is also related to a Cultivator’s Spirit Root Talent. The better the Spirit Root Talent, the less resistance there is to the Dantian’s Spirit Core manifesting. That must be why so few of the many people before me failed.’

’However, the students who come after will likely see some failures.’

Jiang Xuan was now truly feeling the immense impact a Spirit Root had on a Cultivator; it really did manifest in every single aspect.

Fortunately for Jiang Xuan, while his original Talent might have been mediocre, he was now blessed by the Three Purification Mantra: True Communication. He now possessed a Profound Level Top Grade Spirit Root, which could be considered an upper-mid Evaluation.

Not to mention, Jiang Xuan had a secret weapon.

At a certain moment, with a "HUM!", a clear chime suddenly rang out from the depths of Jiang Xuan’s Divine Soul—the Professional Passive, Clear Heart Mirror [Observing Oneself], had activated.

The mirror, like a great sun, illuminated the inner landscape of his body in perfect detail. Following the mirror’s light, Jiang Xuan’s powerful Divine Soul Power instantly spread out, enveloping every single acupoint and meridian throughout his body.

The combination of the Clear Heart Mirror (Observing Oneself) and his Divine Soul Power took the originally chaotic and disorderly resonance of the acupoints within Jiang Xuan’s body and, under the harmonizing influence of his Divine Soul Power, gradually transformed it into a flawless symphony of Dao Rhyme.

With this perfect control, the gestation and manifestation of his Lower Dantian became a matter of course. He didn’t even need to use the Primordial Spirit Pill.

RUMBLE—!

At a certain moment, Jiang Xuan felt a deep rumbling from the abyss of his lower abdomen. His Lower Dantian, like the primordial chaos at the dawn of creation, had finally and fully manifested.

And as the Spirit Core that was his Lower Dantian appeared, a completely new sensation surged through Jiang Xuan’s body and mind.

It wasn’t as simple as just gaining a new ’organ’ for storing energy; he felt as though his very body had been made complete.

’No... it’s more than just being completed.’ Jiang Xuan’s heart stirred. He could clearly feel that he had transformed into a seed that had just broken out of its shell, welcoming a new life.

Changing from a person into a ’seed’ wasn’t a regression, but a leap in the very essence of his life.

He had evolved from a mortal into a ’Spirit Seed’.

To Jiang Xuan’s surprise, the system panel acknowledged this change as well.

[Ding! It has been detected that the Player’s life essence has been promoted. You have now transformed into one of the Bronze People (Green).]
