2025-06-16 20:49:01Finally, after five years, the orb was instantly drained of all spirit energy.
By now, Yao's inner world currently looked like six complicated universes put together into an intermittent weave and held together by a single formation. The spiritual energy that the spirit depletion spell had absorbed had been, if not exorbitant. So in a way, his combat power had improved methodically, however Yao has yet to enter the very first cultivation realm. With this vast amount of spirit energy, he would be able to break through. To initiate the breakthrough, Yao had to open the first three meridians in his body and he needed an abundant amount of spiritual energy to do that, so opening his meridians wouldn't waste too much time. Naturally, the process was tasking and strenuous. It demanded you to absorb spirit energy, and use that same energy to open his meridians. In the cultivation world, everyone improves by the knowledge of the world— however, the first step for cultivation is naturally beholden by heart so even if they were born and not taught about cultivation, they would have to cultivate by instinct rather than by knowledge, which is exactly what Yao had done. The young man exhaled deeply and sat midair as he tried to open his meridians. The spiritual energy in his inner world rippled like a tsunami, but Yao learnt to channel it through his own body instead. The cultivation realms are differentiated from each other and we have the very first realm—The True Qi Realm. The true Qi Realm is also known as Basic Martial Dao. The divisions of martial dao mastery were defined by the initial step of training true Qi. In this world, the basics of martial dao were the twelve major acupoints in a person's body, and twelve meridians flowed through them. One could clear a meridian by clearing an acupoint, and coalesce the body's energy into one current of true Qi. Altogether, there are twelve meridians true Qi in the true Qi realm. But it is very hard to obtain twelve meridians true Qi by clearing all twelve acupoints. Therefore, a sentence existed in the world of training: Twelve levels of true Qi separates snakes and dragons. The location of acupoints were scattered randomly in each practitioner's body, with no rhyme or reason, so a method to locate acupoints like martial dao method that combined training qi and martial arts techniques or a method to locate the acupoints and map the meridian in the body is needed to progress. True Qi would not be pure if the foundations are not firm. After clearing a meridian, it needs to be built up if not, there was no other way it could withstand a strong impact. Therefore, the next step is to temper the meridians you already controlled, and make appropriate use of the meridians true Qi. The stages of the True Qi Realm are as follows. 1 - 3 Meridians: Initial Realm of True Qi. 4 - 6 Meridians: Intermediate stage. 7 - 9 Meridians: Advanced stage of True Qi Realm. 10 - 11 Meridians: True Qi Masters. 12 Meridians: Supreme True Qi Master. And this is only for the first cultivation realm. The realm of cultivation has three stages. The Minor Boundary (소경계/小境界) The Middle Boundary (중경계/中境界). And the Great Boundary (대경계/大境界). At the Minor boundary, one begins to break free of their mortality. At the middle boundary, one wields attraction forces. At the Great Boundary, one becomes a true immortal. These are the stages of the cultivation. Then, under the Minor Boundary, we have the cultivation realm as follows… True Qi Realm. Spirit Realm. Origin Realm. Sage Realm. Emperor Realm. Great Emperor Realm. Empyrean Realm. Divine Realm. God-King Realm. Celestial Emperor Realm. After these realms, one transgresses over to the Middle Boundary stage of cultivation and becomes an Ancestor. Progenitor Realm(Xûxîán, primogenitor, ancestor). Tîàñ Realm (laws of the universe). Primordial Realm. Ortuse Realm. (Law repulsion) Kû Realm (Overcoming calamity) Then lastly, the Great Boundary stage. A cultivator becomes fully immortàl and cultivates the realms of Immortality. *** Yao finally opened his eyes after one year. He had successfully cleared one acupoint and opened his first meridian. The process was relatively slow and Yao found himself having a headache. He needed to clear two more acupoints to finally step into the True Qi Realm. Yao did not know how much time had passed, he did not care. But he realized that since the place he had been sealed in had broken, it means that his body must be drifting somewhere in space. So he did not know how long he would be able to remain that way without putting himself in danger. Yao closed his eyes once again and started cultivating by developing the already opened meridian. This one meridian became a feeding channel for spirit energy to be stored and passed. It is also the reason why cultivators seemed to possess boundless reserves—if the reserves in the inner world are depleted, a person could compromise with the spirit energy stored up within the meridians. In the fifth month, Yao's eyes flashed open and he opened the second meridian. He heaved a sigh of relief and whispered. "Clearing acupoints gets much easier after the first." He continued the clearing and another five months passed. The third meridian was finally cleared. Two meridians needed development so he focused on it for two months— Yao's expression changed. Two months stretched into a year and progressed into the second year. Then finally, it was time for Yao to face the Heavenly Spirit Tribulation and break through into the True Qi Realm.

The current from the river of time was like a majestic sweeping force and one wrong move, Yao would be done for. He grabbed his makeshift boat tight, his third eye, spinning like his life depended on it. And finally, the current of the river stopped, giving Yao a breathing space– bringing peace to the surface of the river.Yao did not even know for how long he had been holding his breath, but it had to have been very long because his lungs were burning now. He had yet to transmute his true qi to spirit qi, so he had not entered the dao of spirit. So for now, he can be considered as a mortal cultivator unless he's stepped into the dao of spirit.He breathed in rapidly. He did not know whether something would attack him or not– he did not care whether he would be attacked. Right now, his main problem is surviving the river of time. The thing is, any other attack coming from the peak of the slope will only end up being swallowed by the river. So no matter how many times Yao exhales, it
0019 In The River of Time
The floor cracked. Marble stones peeled off the cracked ground then Yao swallowed. A breath. Two breaths. And Yao felt a chill. From the point where he slid down, the sharpness in his eyes took a drastic change and his spirit energy drifted from him and simply painted the sky a transparent hue. For a moment the world stood completely still. Not influenced by the river of time, but rather— something that actually ignores the river. Yao saw the flash arrival of a spear, its tip glistening with an unholy sharpness, the kind capable of splitting the heavens. All of a sudden, the surrounding rivers started to boil. Heaven and earth instantly changed colour. Yao's face turned pale.Although this spear surpassed the limit of what he could handle, he needed it so that he could stop his dreadful fall. He just had to ignore the pressure and avoid contact.Now the spear is only inches away from cutting him open. Yao took a deep breath, triggering the chills. There was a blinding flash as
0018 An Incomplete Sword
The path was sloped downwards and the marble floor had droplets of time mist which made the floor wet and slippery. Time is a river so it replicates water which means that if care is not taken, he could slip and slide down the mountain, probably sustaining an injury in the process. This is the path he sought for, but this path was dangerous. One wrong move and he is done for. He swallowed– hard. Yao took a deep breath, and a few seconds later, he crossed the boundary. The moment he separated himself from the enclosure that hid the mountain top, Yao knew that he could not afford to go back again. Not because he did not want to go back, but because it was now impossible. Another defensive mechanism.He took his first step and then the second. From there, he carefully descended from the sloped mountain range. And on each side, Yao could clearly see beneath the mountain. He also saw a massive river that pooled beneath this range.He breathed in and out. White mist followed his exhal
0017 A Path After The Struggle
200 years…400 years…800 years…Yao lost count of how many years he's spent inside Zicuen Mountain. He stopped counting, just hoping…probably, he'd break the time suppression around him.The world around him distorted and changed. And suddenly, his vision tilted creating a mesmerising view.Yao stood frozen for a moment, trying to wonder what he was seeing. He saw the void change along with time, then it compressed into a ball that became the memories of time. And these memories carried by time either had to be absorbed or destroyed and somehow, Yao had observed a memory that sent his brain nerves into a complete shock.At first, he saw a universe which was overlooked by the starry sky. Everything had been normal for a long three seconds until the stars trembled. And then merged together, forming what is known as the Starry Fist. Yao did not know why but just observing the memory caused him to spit out blood and he was yet to break the time suppression around him. He had even expe

A century later, Yao's ancient eyes flickered. Fear. Ever since he had awakened from what sealed him, the concept of fear had been foreign to him. It is only now did he know that such a thing existed.The river of time flowed beneath the Zicuen mountain and it influenced time greatly on both outside and inside therefore, stopping time outside, and creating a suppression inside. A defensive mechanism actually. This is to defend against unwanted Intruders who's only intention is to invade and snatch the ancient techniques hidden below the mountain. Yao knew too well that he held no evil intention, instead he only came here for humanity's sake. Not that he even knew how exactly it would help humanity. Despite the selfishness, the mountain did not reject him, rather it bombarded him with its time suppression, probably wanting Yao to break it.Time continued to pass and Yao did not know how long, but if time isn't keeping him exactly as he had entered the mountain, he should have grown
0015 Time Suppression
Yao could feel the distorted nature of time. Sometimes, he felt as if the distance was longer or shorter. He had entered from the top of Zicuen mountain so the only way to those ancient techniques is to find a path that leads beneath the mountain.He found a path. He started to make his way down… trusting Shang Fa that time was frozen on the outside world. The duel that is to happen in three days is not something that Yao had expected and if anything, Mo Shen had only sought him out just to make trouble from it.Yao massaged his temples. He could feel insensitive headaches growing. 'Maybe, I can use this period to enter the clarity realm.’ Yao's third eye suddenly manifested and spirit energy spilled out of his palm, hovering into the inky black crevices of the mountain. Spirit energy chased the darkness only gathering a bit of shadows since it wasn't a true source of light. Then his spirit energy surged, each spirit grains lapping upon each other in a refined manner. No one woul
