The sixth level of the Acupoint Opening Realm is similar to the Qi Condensation Realm, which involves building the dantian, or the Meridian Opening Realm, which involves opening the major meridians. It requires opening acupoints within the body.

Human acupoints are divided into two types based on their location and effects.

One type is the body orifice, located on the trunk and near the limbs, there are five in total.

These acupoints can strengthen the body and increase strength, and can also serve as a pseudo-dantian to store true qi. One acupoint can increase strength by 30 jin and store about 5000 strands of true qi.

The other type is the spiritual aperture.

The opening points of the spiritual apertures are all located in the middle of the head, corresponding to the five senses of the human body, namely the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and eyebrows.

After these five spiritual apertures are opened, they will also strengthen the body and increase strength, but the increase is slightly less than that of the body apertures. Each aperture only increases strength by 20 jin, and cannot be used as a pseudo-dantian.

However, these five spiritual apertures can enhance the five senses and strengthen the soul.

The eye orifices enhance vision, the ear orifices enhance hearing, the mouth orifices enhance taste, the nose orifices enhance smell, and the eyebrow orifices enhance sensation.

The increased senses will make a martial artist's senses more acute, making them more adept at combat and other tasks, such as making pills or forging weapons.

Not to mention the soul-enhancing effect brought by the spiritual aperture.

For the vast majority of martial artists, the opening of their spiritual apertures will be the first time they experience an increase in the strength of their soul.

Although spiritual apertures have many benefits, physical apertures are still more advantageous in terms of increasing hard power, and most spiritual apertures can only be developed after physical apertures have been opened.

Therefore, the division of the six levels is naturally based on the body and acupoints.

Opening one or two acupoints in the body signifies the initial stage of the sixth level.

Opening three to five body acupoints marks the middle stage of the sixth level.

Having opened the five major body apertures, completing the opening of the first spiritual aperture signifies entering the late stage of the sixth rank.

Only when all ten acupoints are opened can one be considered to have reached the level of perfect sixth stage.

Huo Xing was originally a mid-stage Qi Opening Realm martial artist who had opened the five major body acupoints, plus a tiger demon with mid-stage sixth-order strength.

Even Liang Qing, who had cultivated high-grade true qi, felt extremely troubled at this moment.

With his strength, he could easily handle either Huo Xing or a mid-stage sixth-tier striped tiger demon.

But if you try to do both at the same time, you won't have enough power!

One wrong move and the whole army could be wiped out!

With this in mind, Liang Qing immediately gestured to the First-Class Demon-Seeking Captain behind him, signaling him to relay the news of Huo Xing and the Spotted Tiger Demon's appearance to Yuan Yin.

At the same time, he lowered his voice and ordered in a deep voice, "After I make my move, immediately lead your men to retreat!"

"Trying to take people with you? Nobody's leaving today!"

Huo Xing sneered, his large, bell-shaped eyes sweeping over everyone present, revealing his murderous intent.

They didn't even spare the people from the Canglan Sect, the Gongsun family, and the Fenshui Sect.

As for the people of Fengyun Sect?

At this moment, they were already standing with Yu Sheng, drawing their weapons and pointing them at the others.

Liang Qing was only slightly taken aback by the defection of Fengyunmen, but did not pay much attention to it.

A mere few fourth or fifth-tier martial artists are not enough to influence the course of the battle...

"Brother Huo, why are you in such a hurry? You didn't even say you'd wait for me."

Another sound came from the woods.

A woman dressed in a light white short-sleeved shirt leaped out from the woods.

The man had a well-proportioned build, healthy wheat-colored skin, and bright eyes that swept over everyone present.

"Lu Chengxian!"

Liang Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

Lu Chengxian, the deputy sect leader of Fengyun Sect, is also a mid-stage Qi Opening Realm martial artist who has opened five body acupoints.

"Your Fengyun Sect has submitted to the Six Doors?"

"Why is Lieutenant Liang so surprised? As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a good lord to serve. The Demon Slayer Bureau is a thing of the past. What's wrong with choosing a better path?" Lu Chengxian said with a smile.

"That's right!"

Perhaps because his side had the advantage in numbers, Huo Xing was not as anxious as he had been at the beginning. Instead, he glanced at the people from the Canglan Sect and other forces.

"Our Six Doors was personally founded by the current Emperor, and its influence extends throughout the seven provinces and one hundred and twenty-eight prefectures of the Great Jing Dynasty. If you are willing to join our Six Doors and fight against the Demon Slayers, I will guarantee you a bright future!"

Upon hearing this, many people's faces flickered with surprise.

Despite being fourth or fifth-tier martial artists, they are not particularly favored within their respective factions.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled all this way to participate in the election in this blessed land.

If one could get close to the Six Doors (a powerful organization in China), it might not be such a bad thing.

"Pah!"

Just then, Hao Ben, wielding the Water-Splitting Sword, stepped forward.

He raised his arm, the tip of his sword pointing directly at Huo Xing: "You, a constable of the Six Doors, an army personally appointed by the Emperor, have secretly colluded with demons to attack us, and yet you dare to speak so shamelessly here! I would rather die here than associate with you, you beast!"

Hao Ben's voice boomed in the forest clearing, drawing the attention of many.

Even Mu Yang couldn't help but glance at Hao Ben.

Unexpectedly, Hao Ben, who usually seems silly, could say something like that.

Upon hearing the word "beast," Huo Xing's face darkened instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He asked in a calm voice, "Is that what you all think too?"

"Those who cultivate martial arts should take it upon themselves to slay demons and protect the people. To associate with demons is no different from being a beast." Xu Hong of the Canglan Sect stepped in front of Hao Ben, speaking with righteous indignation.

Cultivating martial arts is also cultivating the mind; in this life, what is there to fear about death!

"Good, good, good, there really are people who aren't afraid of death!"

Huo Xing laughed in anger.

He wasn't really concerned about whether these people would defect, since they were just a bunch of marginalized disciples who weren't well-liked.

If they surrender, they will have made a useless move.

Unexpectedly, these guys were all incredibly stubborn.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!" Huo Xing pulled out a token from his waist, on which was engraved a large character for 'demon'.

The Demon Control Card is a pseudo-magic item with a single, limited effect.

The so-called pseudo-magic weapon is an object that possesses the power of a magic weapon but does not require refining.

Because it does not require refining, it is also impossible to perform the blood sacrifice ritual.

As for the effect of the Demon Control Card, it's quite simple.

Control the monsters.

By simply locking in a drop of a demon's heart's blood and absorbing a wisp of its soul, its life can be controlled by the demon token.

"Those who wish to kill disciples of my Fenshui Sect, may ask the sword in my hand first!"

A shout suddenly came from the woods.

Then another figure appeared in everyone's sight.

She was petite, wearing a light blue dress, with a round face, double buns, and a Lolita-like figure.

It was none other than Lei Xing, the Supreme Elder of the Fenshui Sect, the elder sister of the Lei family patriarch, and a sixth-order Qi Opening Realm martial artist!
