Chapter 563 524: The Secrets of the Human Body, the Marvel of Circulation

Song Ciwan's Observation Talisman was at the Mastery Level.

When it entered his body, it was like a single drop of water landing in a patch of sand. At first, it blended in silently. Then, a deeply buried seed in the sand caught this drop of water and suddenly quivered.

In that instant, everything lit up. All of Commander Liu's meridians and afflictions became semi-transparent, appearing before everyone's eyes!

This was, admittedly, a bit of an invasion of privacy, but Commander Liu himself clearly didn't mind.

He just looked down at himself in amazement. It was clearly the first time he had ever seen the mysteries of his own body with such clarity.

Song Ciwan discovered that the body of an Acupoint Fusion Realm Martial Artist was truly a treasure trove.

According to the theories of Martial Arts, the human body has three hundred and sixty major acupoints.

Before reaching the Innate realm, one tempers their skin, membranes, muscles, and bones until their Qi Blood condenses within their meridians and can be freely controlled. Then, they connect to their Dantian and enter the Innate realm.

The Innate First Transformation focuses on cultivating the Dantian. At this stage, a Martial Artist must do their utmost to enhance and accumulate their Qi Blood, refining their Dantian into a furnace—making it vast, expansive, and as stable as a great bell.

Only after building a solid foundation and obtaining a sufficiently stable Dantian can one proceed to the next step: Enlightenment!

The Innate Second Transformation is the Enlightenment Realm. At this point, a Martial Artist's Qi Blood has condensed in their Dantian, and they must begin attempting to channel it out to strike the body's major acupoints.

However, these major acupoints are difficult to open. Of the three hundred and sixty, an ordinary Martial Artist who manages to open seventy-two during the Second Transformation is considered to have decent Cultivation and is qualified to enter the next step, the Third Transformation Bright Platform.

But if one wishes to enter the Fourth Transformation and reach the Acupoint Fusion Realm after the Third Transformation, opening a mere seventy-two acupoints is clearly not enough.

An ordinary Martial Artist opens seventy-two acupoints. An elite Martial Artist opens ninety-nine. A Sect genius can often open more than one hundred and forty.

As for the geniuses among geniuses, the true pillars of power, they must open at least one hundred and eighty acupoints.

And as for a Celestial Pride, who would dare call themselves one without opening more than two hundred and sixteen acupoints?

It is said that those with the potential to become a Martial Saint must open at least three hundred!

There are also tiers among Celestial Prides. An ordinary Celestial Pride has opened over two hundred and sixteen acupoints, while a top-tier Celestial Pride typically aims for three hundred.

This is also why the difference in combat power between Martial Artists of the same level can sometimes be as wide as a chasm.

When Song Ciwan was playing the role of Lu Bell, she was at the Innate Third Transformation and had opened three hundred and thirty acupoints!

Her Qi Blood was as abundant as a celestial treasure furnace, and her casual strikes possessed immense power.

However, she was stuck at the Innate Third Transformation realm, unable to advance!

One opens acupoints in the Second Transformation, and in truth, one continues to do so in the Third Transformation.

The difference is that the Third Transformation also adds the element of the Bright Forging Platform. After the Bright Platform is successfully forged, one can proceed to the next step: Acupoint Fusion!

Song Ciwan had always struggled to understand: 'How exactly does one fuse the acupoints?'

After all, her Main Cultivation Method was the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting. Cultivating Immortality and Martial Arts Training were, in fact, two different systems.

How to advance her Martial Arts to its higher depths while simultaneously Cultivating Immortality was a difficult problem.

Song Ciwan had previously pondered this endlessly without a breakthrough, but at this moment, upon seeing every one of Commander Liu's acupoints revealed, she was suddenly struck by inspiration—an epiphany!

Commander Liu had opened two hundred acupoints, just a hair's breadth away from the level of a Celestial Pride.

Two hundred major acupoints shone like two hundred small suns throughout his body. Searing hot Qi Blood flowed smoothly through them, giving the initial impression of a nebula.

In her previous life, Song Ciwan had seen all sorts of star charts. The first thought that popped into her head was: 'Commander Liu's path of Acupoint Fusion connections... it's incredibly similar to the lines on a star chart!'

The so-called Acupoint Fusion wasn't about crudely forcing all the acupoints together.

Rather, it meant comprehending the crucial insight to build connections between each acupoint. When all the opened acupoints in the body formed a unified Circulation, allowing the Martial Artist to unleash all their power in a single strike through this fusion, then Acupoint Fusion Perfection was achieved!

Song Ciwan's mind surged with excitement. She felt as though her head was about to explode with a torrent of inspiration.

But she hadn't forgotten that her original purpose was to heal Commander Liu's hidden injuries, so she forcibly suppressed the urge to immediately find a place for closed-door cultivation.

She raised her hands and, without hesitation, cast the Fetal Breathing Saint Method.

The Fetal Breathing Saint Method was more than just a Limb Regeneration Technique. Its fundamental principle was to guide the human body back to the Innate Fetal Breathing State, allowing it to regrow and achieve the goal of replacing the old with the new—a complete rebirth.

The difficulty in practicing this Cultivation Technique lay in mastering that single breath of Innate Fetal Breathing.

And Song Ciwan had mastered it!

The Masterful Skill Level Fetal Breathing Saint Method descended upon Commander Liu. Guided by the Observation Talisman, it revealed countless, subtle web-like hidden injuries along his spine and between his acupoints, imperceptible to the naked eye.

Now, as the Fetal Breathing Saint Method took effect, beads of a viscous, jade-like dew began to form on these hidden injuries.

The Jade Dew seeped into the fine cracks, and the hidden injuries gradually began to mend.

The speed was incredible, like all of creation bursting to life under a spring rain.

Before anyone present could react, in the blink of an eye, the wounds were all healed. Vigorous life burst forth from what was once damaged ground.

Suddenly, Commander Liu cried out, "Incredible! I haven't felt this good in a hundred years! Grand General, I'm showing signs of a breakthrough and cannot remain here. I am deeply grateful to you, Xing Lan Fairy! I will thank you properly later! My apologies, everyone..."

Before his voice had even faded, his entire being shot off like a streak of fire, vanishing from sight with a WHOOSH.

Wen Tingyu was stunned. For such a heroic and valiant female general, she now stood with her red lips parted and her almond eyes wide, a dazed look on her brilliant face.

'I was a step too slow! It feels like I've missed out on some incredible opportunity.'

The next moment, the god-like young woman in white, seated beside them, withdrew her hand and also spoke, "Grand General Guo, General Wen, I have also felt the touch of Enlightenment. Is there a convenient place here? I wish to enter closed-door cultivation."

Guo Wanjun snapped back to his senses and burst into hearty laughter. "Excellent! Absolutely excellent! Truly a peerless Celestial Pride, a generational talent! Tingyu, take Xing Lan to the Martial Arts Hall. Open a Celestial Level Cultivation Room, and use my Battle Merits for it!"

Wen Tingyu felt both joy and bitterness. She quickly composed herself and said, "Yes, Grand General. Xing Lan Fairy, please follow me."

The Martial Arts Hall was not far from the training grounds, and the quality of the Cultivation Rooms in the Grand General's Mansion was beyond question.

As soon as Song Ciwan stepped inside, she felt a wave of Vitality so dense it was almost tangible. The concentration and quality of the Vitality were even a notch higher than in the Celestial Pride Level Cave Mansions she had experienced in the Nine Provinces.

The door to the Cultivation Room was sealed shut, and the Array was activated.

Song Ciwan then brought out her Han Guang Glaze Residence—opening only its Cultivation Room, of course.

A Cultivation Room within a Cultivation Room. Song Ciwan quickly slipped inside and activated its Array.

First, she made an exchange for cultivation time: [You have sold the astonishment, joy, and gratitude of an Early-Stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator. Weight: two jin and one tael. You have obtained twenty-one years of cultivation time.]

Her cultivation began.
