Long River Eternity

As soon as Lin Ding finished speaking, Yang An did not respond immediately. He stood there, as if recalling the long-forgotten past.

After a long moment, Yang An finally spoke, his voice low and tinged with sadness: "During that training session, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was indeed one of the important reasons for our failure and Gong Gong's death. But if we had been prepared in advance and developed a series of response plans, perhaps the outcome would have been different. Ultimately, it's because we are new to the world and are easily deceived by appearances. Do you understand what I mean?"

After listening to Yang An's story, Lin Ding pondered for a moment and nodded: "You mean, we can't act rashly based on the monthly report alone. We must be fully prepared in case of unexpected situations?"

"That's right," Yang An's voice was filled with helplessness and regret, "If I hadn't rashly concluded that Gonggong was colluding with Donghuang based on just a few account books, and stimulated Gonggong, causing him to go crazy and run away early, perhaps things could have turned around." Obviously, the failure of that experience is still a thorn in his heart.

"I understand," Lin Ding said firmly, "When I get to Zhongzhou, I will investigate thoroughly before taking any action. I will never act impulsively."

"I'm glad you understand. Go back." Yang An waved his hand and sent Lin Ding's soul back to his body.

In the cave in the real world, Lin Ding, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes and slowly sat up. Suddenly, his brows frowned, Lin Ding covered his chest with his hands, and coughed violently several times.

Lin Ding guided the spiritual energy and examined his body, and found that it was internal injuries caused by the previous incident where he almost went crazy. Fortunately, it was not very serious.

Lin Ding looked at Liu Xianxian and the other two who were still cultivating and found that they had not changed much. He then looked at the sky outside the cave and found that it had not changed much since before the time travel. It seemed that this time travel did not take much time. So he began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

While recovering from his internal injuries, Lin Ding was sorting out the cultivation experience he had learned from Yang An. Although he was only in the late stage of the Yufeng Realm and it was still too early for him to reach the Heyuan Realm, and he had just broken through not long ago, the meridians in his body had not yet adapted to the new realm and he was temporarily unable to break through again. Even if he had more spiritual essence, it would be of no avail.

However, Yang An's "destruction" was finally formed after he arrived in Tianshui City. Before that, it was just an idea and had not been put into action. Therefore, Lin Ding could learn this skill first in case of emergency.

Not long after, the internal injuries left by the demonic possession were completely recovered, and Lin Ding began to study the destructive skills wholeheartedly.

Just as Lin Ding was constantly trying to condense the chaotic energy, he heard a slight "popping" sound coming from the side. Lin Ding opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound in confusion, and found that the sound came from Feng Hao's body.

Lin Ding hurried over to check the situation, fearing that something might go wrong during Feng Hao's practice.

When he came in front of Feng Hao, Lin Ding found that Feng Hao's expression was calm and it didn't look like there was any problem. Lin Ding gently moved closer to Feng Hao's body and indeed heard a crackling sound coming from Feng Hao's body, as if something was being opened.

Lin Ding's doubts grew even stronger, and he asked Yang An, "What's going on? Why is there such a sound during cultivation?"

After waiting for a moment, Yang An's voice came: "He is actually impacting the eight extraordinary meridians in his body. This kind of sound is indeed heard during cultivation, but only twice. That was the sound when using nuclear energy to open the Ren and Du meridians and break through the Hidden Yuan Realm. However, generally no one will notice this sound. And now he not only wants to open the Ren and Du meridians, but also wants to use this huge energy to open the other six meridians. He has a lot of ideas."

"What will happen if it gets through?" Lin Ding asked in confusion.

"The reason why the Yinyuan realm cannot use the energy in the body for combat is because just opening the Ren and Du meridians cannot store enough energy for combat. Once all eight meridians are opened, the energy stored in your body will be four times that of others, and the Yinyuan realm can challenge the Dongming realm." Yang An explained.

"I see. But why hasn't such a powerful cultivation method been spread? After all these years, no one must have thought of this, right?" Lin Ding asked again.

"Indeed, some people have thought of this method of cultivation, and if you practice in this way, you will be invincible in the same realm in the early stage, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the energy required for breakthrough is four times that of others. It is acceptable in the early stage, but the later it is, the slower the realm improvement. Basically, it is difficult to improve after reaching the Yuheng realm, and the Tianquan realm is the limit." Yang An said.

"This..." Lin Ding thought for a moment, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said, "This doesn't seem to be a problem for us. Others can only cultivate by absorbing nuclear energy between heaven and earth, but we have Xianxian. As long as we keep killing monsters, we will have no shortage of energy."

"Don't be so confident. This kid will be a gold-eating beast in the future. The energy he needs to break through alone may be enough for several people to break through. If you want him to break through normally, you will definitely have to hunt high-level monsters frequently in the future." Yang An teased.

“…” Lin Ding was speechless.

At this time, there was no more sound coming from Feng Hao's body. It seemed that all the eight extraordinary meridians had been opened. Now, as long as he filled all the meridians with energy, he could impact the Baihui acupoint and break through to the Dongming realm.

These two realms are common to all realms, and both are achieved by opening the Ren and Du meridians and impacting the Baihui acupoint.

The next level is to impact different acupoints according to the different exercises learned. The more acupoints are impacted, the higher the level will be.

Because the first person to create a technique used the acupuncture points corresponding to the Big Dipper in the human body to achieve a breakthrough, to commemorate this powerful person, the current realms are also named after the Big Dipper, and the technique he created is still being studied and used in many places today.

Feng Hao had already filled the eight extraordinary meridians with energy, and then he concentrated the power of the eight meridians to attack the Baihui acupoint. Surprisingly, the energy was so immense that after the Baihui acupoint was opened, the remaining energy rushed to the Xinhui acupoint, then broke through the Xinhui acupoint and flowed into the Shenting acupoint. Finally, it broke through the Shenting acupoint and converged at the Yintang acupoint.

In Lin Ding's view, a golden light suddenly burst out from Feng Hao's head, and then the golden light turned into a golden line, flowing from the top of his head all the way to the center of his eyebrows. Finally, an eye-shaped mark flashed across his forehead and then disappeared.

"Is this the Sky Eye?" Yang An's tone was slightly surprised.

"The purpose of attacking the Baihui acupoint to break through the Dongming realm is to make people's spirit and consciousness stronger, so as to cope with the battles at higher levels in the future. If you only have strength but your spirit is not strong enough, it will be useless. After breaking through the Baihui acupoint, your Baihui acupoint will connect to the Qi Sea through the Ren and Du meridians. As your realm improves, your spirit and consciousness will also improve. And this child, because of his powerful energy, not only opened up the Baihui acupoint, but also opened up the Xinhui acupoint, Shenting acupoint, and Yintang acupoint. He accidentally opened up the third eye, which improved his spirit and consciousness several times to that of ordinary people." Yang An said.
