Only three seconds? He's already the Lord of All Realms, so it doesn't matter.

Ye Xuan recalled the first half of this theory:

"The path that comes naturally can be relied upon and discussed; one will gain it if one remains calm, and lose it if one is agitated."

The theories proposed by his ancestors corroborated his experience in the early morning.

When he is agitated, his perception of spiritual energy fails; when he is calm, he can perceive the presence of spiritual energy again.

Ye Xuan had a bold guess regarding this theory that his intuition had led him to.

The theory states that the Tao comes naturally, while spiritual energy resides within the human heart.

Ye Xuan found a low stone pillar and stood on it, his feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned outwards, arms crossed in front of his chest, breathing steadily and naturally, focusing his mind on his dantian.

This is the Hunyuan stance training method, an internal energy training method commonly used by many schools of traditional martial arts.

Ye Xuan seemed a bit rusty about this, as he hadn't done it for many years.

After adjusting his movements and breathing rhythm, he slowly closed his eyes and tried to use his own senses to capture these spiritual energies.

However, his perception is currently unable to control the surrounding spiritual energy, which still exists leisurely.

"..."

By focusing his senses, Ye Xuan activated his ability to foresee the future.

One second later, this wisp of spiritual energy will move in a regular manner.

Two seconds later, the wisp of spiritual energy will continue to move in a regular manner.

Three seconds later, this wisp of spiritual energy will complete a cycle and return to its original form.

With the intervention and observation of his superpowers, Ye Xuan learned about the operating rules and cycle times of these spiritual energies.

He withdrew his perception and used it on himself for the first time.

His senses seemed to penetrate his skin, and his mind was instantly filled with a blood-red hue—the appearance of the inner wall of the artery in his right arm.

Previously, because of the existence of the ability to observe the future, he theoretically felt that it could not be used to predict his own future, but he overlooked the fact that perception is a kind of superpower that exists independently.

Ye Xuan adjusted the location of his perception, and the shape of his body's meridians appeared.

He discovered that his meridians, especially the dantian area, were flowing with energy substances similar to spiritual energy.

This energy differs from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in form, but in essence they share the same origin and should be spiritual power.

After he sensed the presence of spiritual energy, the blood and qi in his meridians surged, and he began to autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside his skin.

Ye Xuan quickly projected the patterns of the spiritual energy in his mind over and over again, and controlled the cycle time.

His breathing exercises and the stimulation of his body's energy and blood circulation through standing meditation made the process twice as effective.

As the spiritual energy within his body repeatedly circulated and merged with the newly entering spiritual energy, he clearly felt that his strength had become much more abundant.

"It's done!"

Ye Xuan opened his eyes with excitement, and at the same time, his perception of spiritual energy disappeared.

As the saying goes, one gains when calm and loses when agitated.

But Ye Xuan's excitement did not diminish; he felt that he was simply a genius!

He was able to figure out a successful cultivation path on his own without any cultivation techniques.

Time flies when you're practicing. After the initial attempt, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Ye Xuan noticed that someone was staring at him with strange looks, so he ran down the mountain.

At a breakfast shop at the foot of the mountain, I bought a set of fried dough sticks and pancakes, and began to enjoy them with the shop's tea.

The energy expenditure of cultivation is no less than that of training superpowers.

But Ye Xuan felt refreshed and invigorated. It was a feeling that was hard to describe. It was as if he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, or rather, his spiritual root.

He finished his breakfast and took a taxi directly to his martial arts school.

On weekdays, the martial arts school is quiet, with students going to school and workers going to work. It's a bit deserted at midday, with only two or three people quietly practicing on the wooden dummy.

Ye Xuan returned to his seat at the front desk, sipping his tea, while pondering something.

He has now figured out the method for cultivating spiritual energy, but the subsequent techniques...

If you only have spiritual power but no technique to unleash its power, then all your efforts will be in vain.

He turned on his computer and searched for various information about spiritual power in his browser.

Without exception, most of what Ye Xuan obtained were fictional contents from those cultivation novels.

He felt that the content in ancient books, as well as the content shared by some modern people who claim to be orthodox Taoists on streaming platforms, was not very credible.

Having not yet obtained any useful information, Ye Xuan focused his attention on his superpowers.

Regarding his perception, he is now able to rely on the extension of his line of sight alone.

Using himself as the origin, he can lock onto any object within his perception range using his other five senses.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes and focused his mind, extending his perception beyond sight, and everything on the street was reflected in his mind.

The newly opened authentic coriander wooden bucket rice restaurant was almost full, even though it was lunchtime.

"Sigh, it's almost the end of the month again when rent is due."

The proprietress was wiping tables in the shop, lamenting how difficult it is to run a business these days.

Under the shade of trees on the street, an elderly man with white hair and a 60-year-old body is shining shoes.

The weathered wooden sign reads: Five yuan a pair.

His steady, skillful touch brought a pair of black leather shoes to a gleaming shine, but the young customer hurriedly said:

"Sir, keep the change. I have to go to my job interview. I wish you good health."

After tossing down a twenty-yuan note, the young man picked up his briefcase, boarded the bus, and drove further and further away from the quiet street.

At the end of the street, a girl in the uniform of Third High School walked with her head down, muttering to herself:

"The teacher said if they find out I'm writing love letters again, they'll call my parents to the school... But I really like him!"

The vibrant years of youth are always reflected on the faces of boys and girls.

Ye Xuan has a different experience every time he uses his superpowers.

And it seems that my perception has become... longer and bigger?

He was unsure whether it was because of his cultivation of spiritual power.

His consciousness returned to himself, and he tried his best to forget the scene from before, allowing his heart to return to peace.

This time, he shifted the direction of his perception from outside the martial arts school gate to the sky.

The senses penetrated the clouds, rising thousands of meters, and are still climbing.

He stared in astonishment at the scene in his mind where the city below was shrinking, realizing that he could no longer control it and could only let his perception continue to rise.

Climb, climb, and climb some more...

Until the image of Blue Star flashed through Ye Xuan's mind!

His consciousness blurred instantly, as if he were being grabbed and kneaded repeatedly by an invisible hand.

My mind was in complete chaos, yet my senses seemed to detect faint, thread-like connections.

Within these intricate networks, there exists a familiar substance...

After losing track of time, Ye Xuan's consciousness gradually cleared.

He grasped one of the veins closest to him, and his perception extended along it, allowing him to see some images:

A majestic city sits nestled among the mountains.

In the southwest corner, a mansion covering an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters occupies a quarter of the entire city's territory.

"Hongtian Escort Agency"

Four large, gleaming golden characters were printed on the plaque, and Ye Xuan's perception penetrated through the mansion's gate and entered.

In the center of the empty courtyard stood an elderly man with slightly graying temples but a robust physique.

Less than half a meter in front of him lay a dense, dark blue boulder.

Ye Xuan noticed that the old man's breathing was deep and even, and his stance was wide and powerful, indicating that he was a trained martial artist.

Suddenly, he clasped his right palm together and slowly raised it above his head, causing his robes to flutter even without wind...

The next moment, the old man lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure leaped into the air to a height of three meters!

What's even more shocking is that his airtime was incredibly long, Ye Xuan estimated it to be at least ten seconds, as if he were floating in mid-air.

Ye Xuan tried to use his senses to investigate the man and find out the flow of energy within his body, but was blocked by an overwhelming resistance.

Just as the old man's body was about to fall, his right palm suddenly swung out, and before it even hit the boulder, it had already stirred up a whirlwind.

"Smack!"

After a muffled thud, as tiny cracks spread, the boulder exploded, turning into fingernail-sized pieces that scattered all over the ground.

As the dust settled, the old man withdrew his palms and stood up, his breathing remaining as steady as ever.

"What would happen if this palm technique were to hit someone?"
