Chapter 566 527: Acupoint Fusion to See the True Self, Divinity Transformation Like the Stars

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Song Ciwan sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Room. The True Qi in her body surged, forming a long, comet-like dragon. From her major acupoints, Qi Blood gushed forth like a torrent of jade-dew magma.

All of this power converged, charging toward the final and most perilous acupoint: the Baihui Acupoint!

CRACK... CRACK...

This wasn't a physical sound, but rather a mystical response to the loosening of the spiritual gate.

If you tried to listen for it, you would naturally hear nothing.

But when you stopped trying, you could hear it plain as day.

CRACK... CRACK... one after another. It sounded like an eggshell shattering, like chaos collapsing, like a new epoch beginning, like the entire world being revitalized with a new round of life.

And so, Song Ciwan had another epiphany—

To see the self is to see the heavens and the earth, and that moment was now!

BOOM!

With the final strike, all barriers shattered. The torrent rushed into the acupoint, and Jade Dew was born once more.

Song Ciwan felt her Divine Soul drift away as she was plunged once again into an exquisitely wondrous state.

It was as if she traversed endless stars, only to plunge moments later from between their light into a deep black hole!

The depths of the black hole defied all conventional measure.

Song Ciwan plummeted through the black hole at a speed even she couldn't calculate.

During her descent, countless images seemed to flicker past her on the walls of the chasm.

Most of the images were distorted. On the rare occasion one was clear enough to recognize, Song Ciwan would seize upon it, only to realize with a shock that they were scenes from her past life's memories!

For instance, the dragon-like streams of traffic, the neon-lit jungles of steel and concrete, the running combat boots, the fleeting data charts...

'No, that's not right!'

'They seemed like scenes from her past life's memories, but somehow, they weren't.'

'After all, the world in her memory was clearly a prosperous and flourishing golden age. In that world, people used the power of technology to pluck the moon from the ninth heaven and catch turtles in the five oceans... But while everyone was like a dragon, everyone was also a mortal!'

'Mortals couldn't possibly leap a hundred feet into the air.'

'And mortals couldn't outrace a car.'

'In that prosperous world bustling with pedestrians, it was even more impossible for a monstrous insect to suddenly burst out of a decadent, luxurious banquet hall, shatter the crystal chandelier, and leave the floor littered with gnawed flesh and blood...'

Song Ciwan was still falling through the deep black hole. But what was falling, clearly—no, it had to be—was actually her spiritual body!

A spiritual body has no substance, yet in the instant those chaotic images flashed by, an endless weight and anguish seemed to manifest within her insubstantial form.

THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP!

She heard her own heartbeat.

Following the sound, she finally broke free from the darkness.

Her Baihui Acupoint blazed with light. Song Ciwan felt as if she had just awoken from a long dream.

Upon waking, the dream was a complete blur, but the sense of peril and weight from it lingered in her heart, refusing to dissipate.

The Jade Dew that now filled her Baihui Acupoint instantly dispelled the lingering terror.

Endless inspiration surged in Song Ciwan's mind. She had her divine self stand guard over her Spirit Platform and guided the Jade Dew to pour out from her Baihui Acupoint.

As if connecting a star chart, the Baihui Acupoint presided from on high, and the Jade Dew within it cascaded down like a waterfall plunging a thousand meters—

One, two, three... it connected with one acupoint after another below it.

From three to thirty, then to three hundred, and finally to three hundred and sixty!

The three hundred and sixty major acupoints of the human body, like a Celestial Stars Map, formed a perfect connection at that moment.

The circulation was complete. The Acupoint Fusion Realm was at Perfection!

It was incredible. After "sixty years" of secluded, arduous Cultivation, Song Ciwan had suddenly broken through from the Innate Third Transformation Bright Platform and the opening of her acupoints, all the way to the Acupoint Fusion Realm.

And in an instant, as if moving at the speed of light, she connected all three hundred and sixty major acupoints in her body, achieving Great Perfection in the Acupoint Fusion Realm!

Now, she was just one step away from breaking through the Acupoint Fusion Realm, entering the True Self Realm, and becoming a true Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Of course, this step was countless times more difficult than any that had come before.

Song Ciwan had no concept of how to break through to the True Self Realm, not even a clue.

The torrential flood of inspiration from before was now completely spent. Song Ciwan regulated her breathing for a moment, preparing to trade for more cultivation time to consolidate her Cultivation in the Cultivation Space.

Suddenly, within the incredibly dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that already enveloped her with its wondrous rhythm, another, exquisitely subtle and profound power surged forth.

This power washed over Song Ciwan like a tidal wave. WHOOSH.

Song Ciwan's previously dried-up well of inspiration instantly quaked—

a new spring of inspiration burst forth, gushing out once more.

This time, however, the inspiration wasn't for her Martial Arts, but for her divine self.

The Divinity Transformation Stage, as its name implied, was not just about manifesting one's own divine self; it was also about building a foundation for that divine self to tread a path of endless longevity.

For an ordinary person in the Divinity Transformation Stage, they would need to clearly manifest the facial features and body of their divine self. Additionally, they would have to perform Refinement on the True Qi in their Dantian Sea until it was as thick as slurry, then fill their Dantian to overflowing. Only then could they reach Divinity Transformation Perfection and gain the qualification to break through to the Divine Refining Stage.

But because Song Ciwan's divine self had formed early, its features and body had long been complete. Moreover, the resilience of its very substance far surpassed that of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.

Forget the Divinity Transformation Stage; even most cultivators in the Divine Refining Stage couldn't compare to the strength of Song Ciwan's divine self.

Therefore, it shouldn't have been difficult for Song Ciwan to reach Divinity Transformation Perfection.

She had been lingering in the Late-stage Divinity Transformation merely to polish her foundation, wanting it to be more solid before she broke through.

But now, things were different.

As the flood of inspiration surged forth again, the divine self in Song Ciwan's Sea of Consciousness suddenly raised its hands and deftly formed a series of hand seals.

Then, within the ethereal body of her divine self, points of starlight began to light up, one by one.

The first: the Baihui Acupoint.

The second: the Danzhong Acupoint.

The third: the Qi Sea Acupoint...

From the first, second, and third, all the way to the three hundred and sixtieth!

Within her divine self's body, just as in her physical one, three hundred and sixty major acupoints lit up.

Potent Divine Soul Power poured out from the three hundred and sixty acupoints of the divine self, filling the form seated in her Sea of Consciousness until it felt so light it could ride the wind and depart.

'To see my body is to see the heavens and the earth;'

'To see my flesh is to see a crucible;'

'To see my divine self is to see the stars!'

Unwittingly, Song Ciwan had finished building the foundation for her divine self. Her Divinity Transformation Stage was now at Perfection.

Whenever she wished, she could take the next step and charge into the Divine Refining Stage!

But Song Ciwan had no intention of breaking through just yet. She still needed to hunt more Golden Core Demon Beasts to acquire a large amount of Lifespan.

If she broke through now, the exchange rate of the Heaven and Earth Scale would drop, which would be a huge loss.

Song Ciwan forcefully suppressed the urge to break through. She then made another trade, selling the human desires of a Qi Cultivation Cultivator—one catty of human desires for one year of cultivation time.

Song Ciwan entered the Cultivation Space to regulate her Qi and suppress her state.

Finally, she succeeded and emerged from her seclusion.

And at that moment, night was just beginning to fall, and the first stars were starting to bloom in the sky.
