C9 Rebirth

After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Cen suddenly felt a warm feeling in his lower abdomen, as if there was a mass of warm air that was slowly flowing.

"Great Circulation!" Jiang Cen was overjoyed. He had already cultivated 81 small cycles and reached one big cycle! That ball of warm air was the true qi from his dantian that he had cultivated.

He opened his eyes and saw rays of light shining through the cracks in the cave entrance.

"So it's already dawn!" He cultivated non-stop throughout the night, finally reaching the first great cycle.

Jiang Cen didn't feel sleepy or even hungry.

He continued to cultivate.

The circulation of Zhen Qi through his meridians became more and more proficient, the success rate became higher and higher, and the speed of training also became faster and faster.

When everything went smoothly, he only needed to breathe out two or three mouthfuls of heaven and earth origin energy before he could condense the true qi into twelve acupoints in one go and form a small circulation path in a few breaths. A full cycle would take less than half an hour.

After a few days of continuous practice, Jiang Cen felt an endless aftertaste in his mouth. The pleasure he brought from practicing the Tongue Meridian each time was greater than that of tasting any delicacy in the world.

Jiang Cen told Old Master Hun about his experiences in cultivation, which caused Old Master Hun to be shocked.

According to what Old Master Hun said, other cultivators didn't have such a carefree feeling when they were cultivating. If he cultivated for too long, his meridians would become sore and exhausted. Jiang Cen's wondrous experience should be the special part of the cultivation technique he cultivates.

"《 Tao Scripture》 is brilliant indeed!" Old Master Hun praised, "It's a pity that I only have a remnant soul left. I can't practice this cultivation technique myself!"

As for cultivation speed, the other cultivators couldn't even compare to Jiang Cen.

Cultivators of the Three Spiritual Root and Four Spiritual Root would have to breathe at least a few dozen breaths to be able to gather a weak wave of Essence and open up their meridians, forming a small circulation path. Furthermore, the amount of True Qi they could refine each time was much weaker, making it much more difficult to clear many meridians in a single breath.

With all these factors combined together, Jiang Cen's cultivation speed was ten times faster than an ordinary cultivator. Even those who were called cultivation geniuses would lose their luster in front of Jiang Cen.

On the third day, the sleepless Jiang Cen finally completed the thirty-six major cycles and achieved a breakthrough in his Tongue Meridian.

He slept for a few hours, and when he woke up, he continued to cultivate the second meridian — the Shaoyang Pulse of the Hand.

The difficulty of the hand Shaoyang meridian cultivation increased because it had a total of 18 acupoints, each located on the left or right hand. Jiang Cen had to split the essence of breathing into two portions and connect the acupoints of both hands at the same time.

After hundreds of failures, Jiang Cen finally managed to cultivate the first minor circulation of the Shaoyang Meridian.

After that, his cultivation became more and more proficient, his success rate became higher, and his cultivation speed became faster and faster.

The practice of hand Shaoyang meridian also made Jiang Cen experience a wonderful feeling. When he cultivated, it was as if two streams of cool spring water were flowing through his arms, as if they were cleansing the impurities within them. It gave him an indescribable feeling of comfort. After training, his arms had not grown any muscles, but his strength had increased by quite a bit. Moreover, his arms were abnormally nimble. Even though he had to lift something heavy repeatedly, he didn't feel any pain at all.

"This is truly a miraculous inner force skill!" It was as if he had been reborn! I wonder what will happen after I finish cultivating all eighteen meridians. "

Initially, Jiang Cen's reason for cultivating was to protect his life. However, after cultivating, even if he didn't have any worries about his life, the wonderful feeling during cultivation was enough to keep him cultivating!

Two days passed just like that. Jiang Cen's Shaoyang meridian had also been cultivated to thirty-six great circulations.

Next were the mouth, nose, and other five meridians. Eight meridians of the hand and eight meridians of the foot were inserted in. Finally, there were the five viscera and five meridians.

The cultivation of every meridian would bring great changes to Jiang Cen from the inside out.

The cultivation of his meridians had greatly reduced his appetite, and he rarely felt hungry. Every day, he only needed to meditate and breathe. He would be able to obtain a great deal of energy from the heaven and earth origin energy and maintain his body's circulation.

Usually, only cultivators who had reached the late stage of the Core Formation Stage would have this kind of experience, Old Master Hun said. Jiang Cen had only cultivated the shallowest of the first levels, yet he already had such a clear feeling. This meant that the « Tao Scripture » was indeed an excellent technique.

According to Old Master Hun's calculations, after the Early Period of the Qi Core's first three layers of cultivation, Jiang Cen could completely cut off all traces of life and reach the "Fasting" realm. He could rely on breathing in heaven and earth origin energy to maintain his body's vitality.

Normally speaking, only cultivators who had cultivated to the Core Condensation Period would be able to leave. This made Old Master Hun praise "Tao Scripture" even more.

The cultivation of the nose, ears, and eyes made Jiang Cen's senses more sensitive.

He could clearly see every tiny stone in the dim cave. He could also hear the sound of mice and rabbits crawling a few hundred feet away from the cave. He could even smell the faint fragrance of flowers blooming outside the cave.

These changes were caused by long term cultivation. However, they usually required several years of cultivation and possessed a certain level of cultivation. But because "Tao Scripture" was so special, it caused Jiang Cen to have such changes just because he practiced the shallowest of the first level techniques.

Jiang Cen finally understood why Sword Manipulating Scholar was able to find him every time he hid in the cave. To high-level cultivators, the breathing that he did his best to hide was like snoring to the side even a few hundred feet away!

The cultivation of the eight meridians of the limbs also brought about a great change to Jiang Cen's body. He did not gain any muscles and had instead lost a bit of weight. However, the strength of his arms and legs had greatly increased and his agility had also greatly increased. His body's reaction had also become much faster than before.

This kind of change could be said to have been reborn, it made Jiang Cen ecstatic. Jiang Cen sometimes thought that if he could bring his current body back to reality, it wouldn't be difficult for him to win a few Olympic gold medals in sports like gymnastics and athletics.

The cultivation of his five viscera and five meridians, although on the surface there weren't any shocking changes, but it was the Purification and Altering of his Muscle, subtly changing his physique.

Not afraid of the cold and summer, the mosquitoes would never fall, and that was only secondary.

Although he was in high spirits and had been awake all night, that was only an additional benefit.

What really caused Old Master Hun to praise was that after training his five viscera and five meridians, Jiang Cen was obviously more sensitive to the elements in the world and could even differentiate the elements in the world.

The five viscera and five meridians are divided according to the five elements. The lung is metal, the liver is wood, the kidney is water, the spleen is earth, and the heart is fire. Only cultivators with Five Spiritual Root could smoothly complete these five meridians.

Jiang Cen's Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root was definitely the best talent for cultivating this technique. Old Master Hun repeatedly praised, "Tao Scripture" was simply a top-grade cultivation technique that was tailored for Jiang Cen!

As time passed, Jiang Cen had been training in the cave for more than a month.

The eighteen meridians had been cultivated, the first layer of Early Period of the Qi Core technique had finally been cultivated to perfection.

As for the wild pears, there was still a bit less than half of them remaining.

"More than a month!" Old Master Hun praised, "This is already faster than I expected!"

"When you entered the cave, you were just a mortal."

"But now, you have been reborn and become a cultivator of the Early Period of the Qi Core!"

The difference between an Immortal and a mortal is like a chasm between heaven and earth. It's no less than the difference between life and death.

All Immortals had a single thought. In this one month cave, Jiang Cen looked back as if it was a lifetime ago.

"From today onwards, I, Jiang Cen, will be a cultivator. I will not be trampled upon by anyone!"

"I want to control my own destiny!"

"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I have to find a way to survive. I have to find a way to break the deadlock and 'go home'!"
