After entering the grand hall,
“Young Master, our Wuji Heavenly Palace does indeed possess a unique system for cultivating the physical body. We have exceptional methods in that regard.”
Zou Dongsheng continued, “This system is called Opening the Divine Meridians. Even at the height of Wuji Heavenly Palace’s power, only core disciples were granted the secret manual for Opening the Divine Meridians.”
“Opening the Divine Meridians?” Lin Yun showed great curiosity.
“Exactly, Opening the Divine Meridians! The process is rather difficult, but once a divine meridian is successfully opened, cultivating the body through it yields extremely obvious results,” Zou Dongsheng explained.
As he finished speaking, Zou Dongsheng flipped his hand and revealed a secret manual.
“Once you study this Divine Meridian Technique, Young Master, you will master the method of opening the divine meridians. This manual is arguably the most precious inheritance of our Wuji Heavenly Palace. I now pass it to you.”
With those words, Zou Dongsheng handed the Divine Meridian Technique to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun accepted the manual, his heart pounding with excitement.
This was the most valuable secret art of Wuji Heavenly Palace. Back then, it had allowed the palace to reach astonishing heights of power and attracted countless experts who wished to temper their bodies to join.
Immediately, Lin Yun channelled his inner energy to activate the Divine Meridian Technique.
A vast flood of information instantly poured into his mind.
It took a full incense stick’s time before the transmission completed.
Lin Yun began studying it at once.
According to the Divine Meridian Technique, every person could open a total of nine divine meridians within their body. The more divine meridians opened, the stronger one naturally became.
Starting from the first divine meridian, each subsequent one became far more difficult to open.
The manual also detailed the method for opening them, along with the required materials.
“Opening divine meridians actually requires beastman essence blood?” Lin Yun was somewhat shocked after finishing the manual.
“Yes. Opening divine meridians requires powerful beastman essence blood as a catalyst. The stronger the beast blood, the better the effect. Of course, even with beast blood, success is not guaranteed. The process itself is extremely challenging,” Zou Dongsheng replied.
Beast blood was merely the foundation for opening divine meridians. It was like having all the materials to build a towering skyscraper, yet that did not mean one could successfully erect it.
“At the last treasure appraisal fair in Heart City, I auctioned off a beastman corpse that still contained essence blood. Doesn’t that mean it can be put to perfect use?” Lin Yun said with delight.
“Precisely, Young Master. It is exactly what you need. Our Wuji Heavenly Palace still has a small stock of beastman essence blood left, though very little remains. Every drop we use is one less, for obtaining powerful beastman essence blood is no easy task. The essence blood in the beastman corpse you possess, however, is sufficient for cultivating the Divine Meridian Technique for a very long time,” Zou Dongsheng said.
Hearing this, Lin Yun secretly rejoiced that he had managed to secure that beastman corpse at the appraisal fair.
Zou Dongsheng flipped his hand and produced a small jade bottle about ten centimetres tall.
“Young Master, this bottle contains beastman essence blood. Its quality is probably slightly lower than that in the beastman corpse you hold, but it is more than enough for opening the first and second divine meridians. The blood in your corpse is far more precious. Save it for opening the later meridians,” Zou Dongsheng explained.
He then passed the small jade bottle to Lin Yun.
After accepting it, Lin Yun asked curiously, “By the way, Zou Dongsheng, how many divine meridians have you opened?”
“I have opened six in total. The higher one goes, the harder it becomes. For me, six is nearly my limit. Unless I step into the Supreme Realm, I probably have no chance of opening a seventh,” Zou Dongsheng answered.
“It seems opening all nine divine meridians is no simple matter,” Lin Yun sighed.
Zou Dongsheng was currently the strongest member of the surviving Wuji Heavenly Palace remnants, yet even he had not managed to open all nine. One could imagine the difficulty.
“Of course. The ninth divine meridian in particular is extraordinarily difficult. Throughout the history of Wuji Heavenly Palace, only the Palace Lord ever succeeded in opening all nine. Back then, several elders did manage eight, but regrettably none of them could open the ninth,” Zou Dongsheng said.
Lin Yun nodded.
“By the way, Zou Dongsheng, do you know of any way to revive humans from other star realms outside the Ancestral Land?” Lin Yun asked.
He had been searching for a solution all this time.
“Young Master, I am afraid I do not know. I am a native of the Ancestral Land myself, so I have never needed to study such a matter,” Zou Dongsheng replied.
