Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Inside the cave, rocks rained down, and the billowing dust blotted out the sun, choking everyone to the point of near suffocation. In the chaos, Yi Chen suddenly grabbed Meng Li and shouted, "Follow me!" With his keen senses, he discerned a relatively safe path amidst the confusion and led the group through the treacherous terrain.

"Hurry, everyone!" Jasmine urged from behind, simultaneously using her spiritual power to deflect several boulders that were about to crash down on Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng was still in shock, his face pale, and he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately Ziling caught him in time.

"Hang in there a little longer, there's an exit ahead!" Yi Chen's voice was firm and powerful, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone. Led by him, the group finally found the exit just before the cave was about to completely collapse and rushed out in a sorry state.

The group collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. The joy of surviving the ordeal had not yet completely dissipated when they found themselves in a strange space. Mysterious light permeated the air, and ancient and powerful energy seemed to flow through it.

“This is…” Mengli looked around, her eyes filled with shock.

Jasmine slowly stood up, her expression solemn: "It seems we have finally arrived at the core area of ​​the mysterious space. It is now the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), when the Sanjiao meridian is in power. The Sanjiao meridian is the energy channel of the upper, middle, and lower jiao of the human body, and it governs the body's qi transformation function. The secret of this core area is probably hidden in the mysteries related to the Sanjiao meridian."

Zi Ling nodded slightly, her gaze drawn to a huge energy vortex in front of her: "Look, everyone, that energy vortex!"

As everyone looked, they saw a massive energy vortex suspended in mid-air, shimmering with multicolored light and containing endless mysteries. This vortex seemed to be the center of the universe, distorting and deforming the surrounding space. Powerful energy turbulence, like sharp blades, raged around the vortex, and anyone who was not careful would be sucked in and pulverized.

“This vortex contains the secrets of the entire space, as well as the ultimate mysteries related to the meridian flow and human health,” Jasmine said. “But getting close to it is easier said than done.”

"We cannot back down!" Yi Chen stood up, his eyes resolute. "This is our only chance to unravel the mystery and find a way out of here."

Xiaofeng also stood up, dusting himself off: "That's right, we've come this far, how can we give up!"

However, as they attempted to approach the energy vortex, they immediately felt immense resistance. Turbulent energy surged towards them, like invisible, colossal forces, repeatedly repelling them. Yi Chen channeled his spiritual power, unleashing all his skills, yet found himself utterly insignificant before this powerful energy turbulence.

"This won't do!" Mengli shouted. "These energy turbulences are too powerful; we can't get close at all."

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Yi Chen suddenly thought of a solution. He looked at Meng Li and Xiao Feng: "If we join forces and combine our respective strengths in spiritual power with the energy of the Triple Burner Meridian, we might be able to form a stable energy channel."

Mengli and Xiaofeng exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously: "Okay, let's give it a try!"

The three stood still, closed their eyes, and concentrated. Yi Chen took the lead, circulating the energy of his Triple Burner Meridian and gathering it in his palm. A faint blue light emanated from his palm, within which countless tiny runes seemed to flicker. Meng Li, on the other hand, mobilized the power of the natural elements, fusing the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth with the energy of her Triple Burner Meridian. Immediately, the light of the four elements appeared around her, intertwining and forming a strange energy field. Xiao Feng was not to be outdone. He circulated the yang energy within his body, resonating it with the energy of his Triple Burner Meridian, and a golden light emanated from his body, filling him with a sense of power.

As the three worked together, the energy around them gradually merged, forming a stable energy channel. This channel, like a bridge, spanned the turbulent energy currents, connecting them to the energy vortex.

"We did it!" Yi Chen shouted excitedly. "Everyone, stick close to me!"

With that, Yi Chen took the lead and stepped onto the energy passage, followed closely by Meng Li and Xiao Feng. The group cautiously approached the energy vortex. The turbulent energy currents constantly impacted the passage, causing it to tremble slightly under the impact, but it never collapsed.

Finally, they successfully traversed the turbulent energy flow and arrived at the edge of the energy vortex. They took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the vortex.

Upon entering the vortex, everyone felt a powerful surge of information rushing towards them. Countless ancient scenes flashed before their eyes: ancient cultivators practicing under the stars, mysterious runes flickering in the void, and the wondrous sight of human meridians merging with cosmic energy.

"I see it!" Yi Chen exclaimed excitedly. "The human body's meridians and cosmic energy have such a mysterious connection! The Meridian Flow Theory is not only the circulation pattern of Qi and blood in the human body, but also a bridge connecting the human body and the universe. Through specific cultivation methods, we can utilize the Meridian Flow Theory to absorb cosmic energy and elevate our cultivation level!"

Immersed in this awe-inspiring discovery, everyone continued to explore the mysteries within the energy vortex. Just as they were about to leave, the mysterious space suddenly trembled violently, and a powerful aura of darkness surged in from all directions.

"Oh no! An even greater crisis is about to unfold!" Jasmine's expression changed drastically, and she shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly and nervously watching their surroundings. The dark aura grew stronger, as if an invisible hand was dragging them into an endless abyss.

"What's with this dark aura?" Xiaofeng asked in alarm.

Before anyone could come up with a solution, countless black tentacles suddenly appeared from the darkness and swept towards them. The tentacles were incredibly fast, reaching them in an instant.

"Watch out!" Yi Chen shouted, brandishing his sword and severing the approaching tentacles. But there were too many tentacles, and the group gradually found themselves in a predicament.
