I cultivate the Chaos Technique

As night deepened, the mountains outside Qingzhou City were shrouded in an eerie silence. A cold wind whispered through the forest, as if recounting ancient secrets.

Zhang Yifan sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and could hardly contain his excitement.

He never imagined he would have such an opportunity. Since obtaining the legendary "Chaos Technique," he understood that his life would be completely changed from then on.

Today marks the first step he takes on the path of cultivation.

Despite the unknowns and dangers along the way, Zhang Yifan harbored an indescribable determination and desire.

He slowly closed his eyes and began to breathe in spiritual energy according to the method taught by the Chaos Ancestor Li Taixu.

As he breathed deeper, his mind gradually sank into his dantian, and he felt the surrounding spiritual energy being drawn towards his body by some invisible force.

At first, Zhang Yifan could only feel a faint flow of spiritual energy, like streams of water flowing through his body.

However, as his breathing became more steady, the spiritual energy gradually surged, pouring into his body like a river bursting its banks.

Zhang Yifan felt an unprecedented power gathering within his body, and his heart was filled with shock and ecstasy.

This "Chaos Technique" is indeed extraordinary; it has already caused an upheaval in the world even though I have only just begun to cultivate it.

He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted to him, flowing in continuously, and even forming a faintly visible vortex of spiritual energy around him.

The power of that spiritual energy grew stronger and stronger, as if all the spiritual energy in Qingzhou was gathering for him alone.

However, Zhang Yifan was unaware that the strange changes in the heavens and earth caused by his cultivation had already alarmed the major forces around Qingzhou.

Since ancient times, Qingzhou has always been peaceful, and such intense fluctuations in spiritual energy have rarely occurred.

But today's strange phenomenon was like a thunderclap, awakening countless reclusive old monsters.

Deep within the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate in Yuzhou, far from Qingzhou, an old man dressed in a gray robe suddenly opened his eyes.

This person is none other than Xuan Qingzi, the Supreme Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, who has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, focusing solely on cultivation.

However, today's unusual spiritual energy has shattered the tranquility he has maintained for many years in seclusion.

Xuan Qingzi sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the direction of Qingzhou, and a profound light flashed in his eyes.

He lightly tapped his finger in the void, and a beam of azure light shot out, instantly piercing through space and transforming into a divine thought that was transmitted to Qingfeng Zhenren, the current sect master of Xuantian Sect.

"When strange phenomena occur in Qingzhou, a monstrous being is sure to be born."

You must immediately send your disciples to Qingzhou to investigate, and make sure we grasp the source of this strange phenomenon.

If they are truly talented, recruit them into my Xuantian Sect; if they cannot be of use, then eliminate them to prevent future troubles. Remember, do it cleanly, leaving no trace.

Upon receiving Xuan Qingzi's order, Master Qingfeng was immediately alarmed. He clasped his hands in a respectful bow and replied, "I will obey the Ancestor's decree." Without hesitation, he dispatched several elite disciples to Qingzhou to investigate the situation.

At the same time, other cultivation forces near Qingzhou were also alarmed by this strange phenomenon.

An old man dressed in black robes opened his eyes in his secluded cave, his gaze cold and stern, and muttered to himself:

"When spiritual energy stirs, extraordinary treasures or genius cultivators will surely emerge."

Qingzhou has always been peaceful; today's upheaval must have a reason. I must go and find out what's going on."

On another secluded mountaintop, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face squinted, his eyes gleaming with contemplation.

He sighed deeply and said slowly, "Such an extraordinary phenomenon is no small matter. Perhaps it is time to come out of seclusion."

These powerful figures in the cultivation world all turned their attention to Qingzhou, seemingly sensing a major upheaval that was about to occur.

Zhang Yifan, the source of all this, was completely unaware of it. His entire focus was on cultivation, and he was completely oblivious to the fact that he had become the center of attention for many powerful figures.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, Zhang Yifan's meridians began to bear tremendous pressure.

The spiritual energy surged through his meridians like a tidal wave, and intense pain instantly spread throughout his body.

The pain felt like countless steel needles piercing his bone marrow, even giving him an urge to stop immediately.

However, Zhang Yifan knew that if he backed down now, he would never be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

Li Taixu had warned him that the initial stage of cultivating the Chaos Technique would be extremely difficult, a dual test of both body and will. Only by passing this hurdle could one truly begin cultivation.

"I absolutely cannot give up!" Zhang Yifan gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain that was almost suffocating him.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, his hands clenched so tightly his nails almost dug into his flesh. He knew he had to endure this pain, or everything would be for naught.

The influx of spiritual energy continued, and Zhang Yifan felt as if his meridians were about to be torn apart.

His dantian also began to expand violently, seemingly reaching its limit and possibly bursting at any moment.

Each surge of spiritual energy caused his body immense pain, but with unwavering willpower, he managed to guide the energy to his meridians and gradually integrate it.

Time slowly passed amidst this agony, and Zhang Yifan's will was almost consumed by the endless pain.

But he was unwilling to give up, and the humiliations and hardships he had endured flashed through his mind. Those past memories were like sharp blades, constantly stimulating his heart.

"I must succeed, I must never give up!" Zhang Yifan roared in his heart, his will as firm as steel.

He knew that today's suffering was only the first step toward the future, and he had to get through it to fight for a brand new future for himself.

Finally, after countless struggles on the brink of life and death, Zhang Yifan felt the excruciating pain begin to subside, and the flow of spiritual energy gradually became smoother.

In his dantian, the immense spiritual energy had begun to condense and take shape, transforming into a crystalline vortex that slowly rotated, absorbing all the spiritual energy flowing into his body.

Just then, Zhang Yifan's dantian suddenly trembled, and he seemed to hear a faint "crack" sound.

That was the sound of the barriers in his meridians being broken.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them like two swords piercing the night sky.

At this moment, he has successfully integrated all the spiritual energy into his body and smoothly broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining!

In that instant, Zhang Yifan felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. He exhaled a long breath, feeling the surging power within his body, a feeling that thrilled him.

Although he knew that this was only the first step on the path of cultivation, it was also a crucial one.

From then on, he was no longer the little beggar who was bullied by everyone, but a true cultivator.

Zhang Yifan stood up, looked towards Qingzhou City in the distance, and made a decision in his heart.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will continue step by step until he reaches the pinnacle of cultivation.

He knew that the path of cultivation was fraught with danger and challenges, but he had no way out. Only by constantly becoming stronger could he control his own destiny and no longer be subject to others.

Meanwhile, outside Qingzhou, as the unusual fluctuations in spiritual energy gradually subsided, the powerful figures who had been alarmed also gradually quieted down.

Although they have not yet found the source of the unusual spiritual energy, Qingzhou has already become the focus of their secret attention.

However, Zhang Yifan was completely unaware of the commotion outside. He had only one thought in his mind: to become stronger, to master more power, and to earn himself a place in this world of cultivation.

Unbeknownst to him, this cultivation practice had quietly altered the course of his destiny.

From this day forward, he will be caught in a massive storm, and he will be at its very center.

This is just the beginning.

Zhang Yifan's path of cultivation is destined to be a legendary journey filled with bloodshed and turmoil, and he will become an undeniable presence in this world.
