Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 5 Purple Qi from the East
"It's good to have a powerful backer," Zi Dong thought. "To establish a demon-hunting team, we must rely on the Yuntian Sect." He decided to report to the sect leader. If Zhou Yunting agreed, it would be even more legitimate.

“That’s a good idea.” Zhou Yunting nodded calmly, then glanced at Zi Dong kneeling before him:

"However, you need to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too difficult for you to be the leader of the Demon Hunting Team with your current Qi Refining Realm cultivation level."

Zi Dong agreed with Zhou Yunting's words; he believed that only by becoming the leader of the group could he gain more fortune.

Then I'll continue bringing beautiful women from the mortal realm to the sect, relying on this meager bit of luck to improve my cultivation level as quickly as possible.

Zi Dong brought back another beautiful woman from Ai Shang, handed her over to the steward on duty, and immediately returned to his cave to cultivate while waiting for his luck to arrive.

The Qi Induction Realm has nine levels. It involves drawing spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body and opening the first acupoint, which is the first level.

Once you open up the twelve acupoints and unblock all the meridians connecting them, you reach the first level of minor perfection. Opening up one more acupoint will take you to the second level.

The first cultivation session requires entering a deep meditation to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and to circulate the cultivation technique to guide it into the body.

Zi Dong found a ready-made body, at the third level of the Qi Induction Realm, and could simply cultivate according to his memories.

In fact, according to Earth's scientific explanation, cultivation is a series of leaps in energy from quantity to quality.

The physical structure of people from the Tianyun Continent is different from that of Earthlings. People with spiritual roots can store energy in acupoints after cultivation and open up meridians with the help of cultivation techniques.

The so-called spiritual roots are the twelve main meridians, which are hidden in the body before cultivation, and their attributes cannot be manifested.

When a cultivator at the Innate Realm activates their innate energy, they can not only introspect but also discover the spiritual roots of mortals through the guidance of their energy after circulating their cultivation techniques.

Perhaps it was because the transmigrator's soul was powerful that Zi Dong was able to introspect after taking over this body, and could directly examine the spiritual roots of mortals.

Internal vision can be twice as effective for cultivation, and Zi Dong's rapid advancement to the seventh level is inseparable from his ability to use internal vision.

Cultivation for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator is like a blind man touching an elephant; they rely entirely on the circulation of their cultivation techniques to impact each acupoint and meridian, resulting in a naturally slow pace.

Zi Dong has already opened 80 acupoints. If he opens 4 more acupoints and opens all the meridians between the 84 acupoints, he will reach the seventh level of minor perfection. If he opens one more acupoint, he can advance to the eighth level.

The Cloud Heaven Manual contains a complete diagram of the human body, with meridians and acupoints clearly and accurately marked. As long as you have enough true qi, you can master it in one go.

Each time a Qi Induction Realm cultivator opens up a new acupoint, they must connect the meridians between it and all the acupoints that were previously opened.

Therefore, as their cultivation level increases, cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm will need more and more energy, not only consuming and storing large amounts, but also constantly refining and purifying it.

Although the spiritual energy within the Yuntian Sect is extremely abundant, cultivation speed is very slow relying solely on meditation, which requires a large amount of luck to continuously support it.

Luck originates from the universe and is more compatible with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than any cultivation technique or the body of any cultivator.

Zi Dong was very certain that with a lot of luck on his side, he could break through a small realm in a few days and a large realm in a few months.

In less than ten years, he will be able to go to the Central Continent to cultivate immortality and become a god, and within a hundred years he will become an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao!
Zi Dong sighed with a wry smile. If he could buy it with spirit stones, he could get a lot of luck. That little demon cultivator's ring contained a huge amount of spirit stones.

It's best not to overthink things. Even the elders of the Yuntian Sect wouldn't dare to directly use their luck for cultivation. I'm already considered a superior person!

Zi Dong still has nearly 10,000 points of luck, and plans to use 5,000 points for cultivation. The luck tree cannot be without leaves.

Luck can not only help with cultivation, but also assist the Luck Tree in growing rapidly, so as to obtain more and higher-grade luck.

It can better nourish the soul and body of cultivators. Even mortals, if they always have good fortune, will be immune to all poisons and diseases.

Not only will they enjoy good health and longevity, but they will also have smooth sailing in everything they do, abundant wealth, and the chance to win five million with just a casual bet. The benefits for cultivators are even greater. First and foremost, their aptitude will be enhanced, allowing their main lineage to withstand the impact of more spiritual root attributes.

The physical body is constantly nourished by a large amount of luck, and even a pseudo-spiritual root can become a heavenly spiritual root, and may even stimulate more attributes.

Zi Dong's body has a very special spiritual root. It is neither one of the five elements nor wind and thunder, and its main vein emits a faint purple aura.

It's that auspicious aura of an emperor, the radiance emanating from a rare treasure—absolute nobility!

The elder who chose this body didn't know what kind of spiritual root it was, but he felt it was good, so he brought it back to the sect.

Zi Dong had no feeling for the purple aura because he couldn't control it. The purple aura was arrogant like an emperor and completely ignored him.

With 100 points of luck credited to his account, Zi Dong immediately began cultivating, ignoring all the talk of "Eastern Purple Qi" and focusing on improving his cultivation level first.

He condensed a small hand of divine consciousness, plucked 100 pure white leaves from the Tree of Fortune, and integrated them into the true energy within his meridians, immediately activating the Cloud Heaven Technique.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in, like countless bees seeing nectar, quickly filling all the meridians in the body.

Zi Dong immediately activated the Cloud Heaven Technique, sending all the true energy in his meridians rushing towards the Zhangmen acupoint under his left ribs.

With a soft "pop" sound in his mind, Zi Dong felt a tearing pain all over his body and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The area around acupoints is covered with capillaries and the nerves are extremely sensitive. The pain from acupoint stimulation is more severe than tooth extraction, like being stabbed in the heart by countless needles.

However, Zi Dong has already opened more than fifty acupoints and has long been accustomed to this kind of pain, but his body will still react.

The next step is to open up the meridians between Zhangmen acupoint and the other 80 acupoints that have already been opened. The pain is much less than when opening other acupoints.

As long as the vital energy in the two acupoints is kept abundant, the meridians between them will be opened up quickly.

It's like two reservoirs; once they're full, the constant flow of water will eventually carve out a riverbed between them.

Five thousand points of luck were enough to help Zi Dong break through to the eighth level of the Qi Induction Realm, opening up 90 acupoints, with 18 more to go.

His cultivation speed slowed down again, and Zi Dong had to end his meditation. He should go and gather some more Qi. He was no longer used to this snail-paced cultivation method.

Zi Dong glanced at the hourglass and realized it was almost Chen Shi (7-9 AM). He quickly got up and headed out of the cave, as he still needed to steal some luck.

The hourglass is two cone-shaped, light blue, transparent glass bottles, similar to those on Earth, except that they are connected to a twelve-hour clock face.

It doesn't contain air, but the cultivator's true energy. Once the sand leaks out, all the true energy rushes to the top, causing it to automatically flip and move the pointer for half an hour.

Because the total amount of true qi is heavier than sand, this is the masterpiece of a weapon-refining master of the Yuntian Sect, which has already earned the Yuntian Sect a lot of spirit stones.

Clocks, which are essential daily necessities on Earth, are luxury items on the Tianyun Continent.

Because no weapon refiner would bother to forge such a thing, and cultivators can sense the heavens and earth and judge the time at any time.

With his mind filled with luck and the Demon Hunter Group, Zi Dong casually opened the door and stepped out of the cave, only to be stunned by the dazzling morning light.

A woman in a red dress, more dazzling than the morning sun, sat cross-legged on a large blue stone outside the cave.

It was none other than Feng Qingwu, the senior sister of the Yuntian Sect!
