To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Ziyun Palace.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon, with two jade bottles and a pottery jar in front of him.

The two jade bottles contained the True Yang Bright Sun Gang and the Pure Flower Clear Sky Gang.

The evil energy contained in the pottery jar is called the Nine Nether Earth Mother Evil, which originates from the depths of the Fallen Soul Abyss.

Although the cultivation of the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" does not emphasize the types of Heavenly Qi, he still prepared to experience the similarities and differences between the two types of Qi.

Thanks to the solid foundation laid during his Foundation Establishment, Gu Fan, despite having formed his Core Formation several years ago, already possesses considerable magical power and is expected to be able to activate two acupoints in succession.

Coincidentally, this perfectly fulfills the conditions for setting up the Fire Burning Heaven Formation.

Gu Fan closed his eyes and meditated for a while until his magical power was peaceful and abundant before extending his fingers to tap repeatedly.

A jade bottle and a pottery jar were opened simultaneously, and a wisp of the moon-white Suhua Qingxiao Gang and the Nine Nether Earth Mother Sha each emerged, no more and no less, intertwined and were inhaled into the nasal cavity.

Gu Fan carefully enveloped it with his magic power, his divine sense highly concentrated, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The difficulty of activating acupoints is not uniform; it increases as you progress.

Therefore, during the Foundation Establishment stage, one can create spiritual essence to open the acupoints, while during the Golden Elixir stage, one must rely on the power generated during the conflict between the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends to open the acupoints. The amount absorbed each time should be neither too much nor too little.

If there are too few points, it's fine; it's just a failed attempt at enlightenment. As long as the correct acupoints are chosen, enlightenment can be attempted again. However, if there are too many points, once the acupoints are damaged, the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" can never be fully mastered.

Gu Fan guided the intertwined Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, circulating them through the meridians for a full cycle, until he became familiar with the feeling before activating the "Heavenly Evolution and Exhaustive Observation Technique".

In an instant, a complex array diagram unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness, with hundreds of array patterns twisting and turning, making one feel dizzy and lightheaded at a glance.

"Compared to the Foundation Establishment stage, it's several times more complex; the difficulty is now comparable to breaking a third-tier formation."

Gu Fan sighed, then focused intently, meticulously unraveling the array diagram.

If he weren't desperate, he would still hope to decipher the array with his own strength, which would be the best test of his talent in array formation.

Time passed second by second. Gu Fan kept his eyes closed, and fine beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.

When the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi had circulated for seven cycles, Gu Fan's body trembled, and he finally deciphered the acupoint indicated by the array diagram. After confirming it with the Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye, he guided the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi into the acupoint and then released the restraints.

The next instant, the celestial and terrestrial energies collided violently.

Like the first rays of light at the beginning of time, it suddenly spread from the acupoints, sweeping away impurities wherever it went, expelling them instantly and expelling them from the body with each breath.

Gu Fan endured the pain and soreness emanating from the acupoints until his magic power filled them. Only then did he open his eyes, frown, and recall the process of enlightening the acupoints.

Gu Fan pointed again, and another burst of Heavenly Qi and Earthly Fiend Qi rose up, but this time the Heavenly Qi was replaced by True Yang Bright Sun Qi.

With his previous experience, Gu Fan was already quite adept at it.

When the True Yang Bright Sun Gang collided with the Nine Nether Earth Mother Sha, an even stronger shock came, almost instantly squeezing out the turbid energy hidden in the acupoint. Then, the acupoint felt swollen, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Veins bulged on Gu Fan's forehead as his divine sense surged into his acupoints, suppressing the aftershocks of the shockwave.

After a short while, the tremors subsided.

Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still lingering with unease.

"According to the cultivation method, the resistance encountered during the second initiation should be stronger than the first, but the collision between the True Yang Bright Sun Gang and the Nine Nether Earth Mother Fiend is actually so much stronger than the Pure Flower Clear Sky Gang!"

Gu Fan was very glad that he was conservative.

The second time, more Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends should have been used, but to avoid any accidents, Gu Fan only used the same amount as last time.

Otherwise, the acupoints might have been damaged.

"Why is there such a difference?" Gu Fan pondered, stroking his chin.

After a long while, a guess came to mind.

"Perhaps it's because the quality of the True Yang Bright Sun Gang is higher than that of the Pure Flower Clear Sky Gang!"

Although Suhua Qingxiao Gang is condensed using a secret method, Zhenyang Haori Gang is derived from magical power in the Guiyuan Furnace, which is extremely demanding compared to the condensation of the secret method.

Thinking this, Gu Fan probed his acupoints with his divine sense again, comparing them with the acupoints he had enlightened twice.

"Isn't this acupoint a bit too big?"

Gu Fan suddenly discovered that the space of the acupoints that were enlightened for the second time was about 20% larger than that of the first time, while the space of the acupoints that were enlightened for the first time was no different from that of the acupoints enlightened during the foundation building stage.

As for the effect of the increased space in the acupoints, it is not recorded in the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter", nor were Xuanji Zhenren and Yunxiao Zushi mentioned it. Gu Fan did not understand the difference for the time being.

"Never mind, let's focus on restoring our mana first."

Shaking his head, Gu Fan kept his doubts to himself and closed his eyes to breathe in spiritual energy.

Shaking his head, Gu Fan kept his doubts to himself and closed his eyes to breathe in spiritual energy.

Unexpectedly, after taking this breath, he noticed a slight difference in his body compared to usual.

"The speed at which spiritual energy is being refined... seems to have increased somewhat?"

Gu Fan suppressed his excitement and unleashed the Heaven-Burning Fire Array around his body, continuously consuming his magical power until it was mostly depleted before stopping.

Afterwards, Gu Fan closed his eyes again and began to breathe deeply, carefully experiencing the sensations.

Half an hour later, Gu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, unable to suppress the smile on his face any longer.

He could clearly feel that the speed of refining spiritual energy had indeed increased, although only by a tiny amount.

His identity as a weapon refiner gave him exquisite control over magical power; otherwise, it would have been difficult to detect.

Gu Fan was perfectly clear about what the increased speed of refining spiritual energy meant—it meant spiritual roots.

"If cultivation techniques can enhance spiritual roots, Master couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Therefore, there's only one possibility!"

"The increased space in the acupoints can improve one's spiritual root aptitude!"

Gu Fan stood up, his face slightly flushed, and paced back and forth in the main hall, so excited he wanted to let out a long roar.

Cultivating the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" requires deciphering the array diagram of the "Heavenly Evolution Exhaustive Observation Technique," which has already kept countless people out of the door. Even if the remaining people manage to decipher it, who wouldn't be afraid of damaging their acupoints?

They all carefully controlled the power of the collision between the Heavenly and Earthly Qi.

If he hadn't wanted to experience the differences between the True Yang Bright Sun Gang, he probably would have missed this opportunity.

"Perhaps others have discovered it, but it wasn't recorded in the cultivation technique jade slip," Gu Fan guessed.

What caught his attention was that while the expansion of one acupoint space might have a negligible effect, the number of acupoints in the human body is approximately 1000. What if the spaces of all the other acupoints were to expand as well?

How high can one's spiritual root aptitude be improved?

Gu Fan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

There is no consensus in the cultivation world on what spiritual roots are.

There is only one consensus: being able to sense spiritual energy means having spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots affect a cultivator's speed of sensing and refining spiritual energy, and also influence cultivation bottlenecks.

With a low-grade spiritual root, it's difficult to even break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

A Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root has no bottleneck before reaching the Golden Core stage.

Gu Fan immediately thought of the "Taiyin Refinement" secret technique, which could raise a person below the Earth Grade spiritual root by one level. The spiritual light drawn from the moonlight was precisely integrated into the meridians.

Perhaps... the secret of so-called spiritual roots lies within the meridians and acupoints.

"Mortals have blocked meridians and acupoints, making them unable to absorb and transform spiritual energy, thus they have no chance of attaining immortality."

In Gu Fan's mind, lightning flashed and countless thoughts swept through.

"If we open up the meridians and activate the acupoints of mortals, would that allow them to cultivate immortality?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Gu Fan was startled, but he quickly shook his head and gave up.

He had experienced firsthand how violent the power to open up meridians could be; the tearing pain was something no ordinary person could endure.

The idea of ​​"point-point stimulation" is utter nonsense.

Mortals lack magical powers and cannot even refine the essence of creation, which ultimately becomes a dead end.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the higher the spiritual root aptitude of their offspring. It's not worth expending a lot of resources to change the aptitude of a mortal.

Perhaps this is why the cultivation world has never heard of mortals altering their aptitude.

'How could a high and mighty cultivator possibly concern himself with mortals?'
