Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

The Flying Claw landed on the box containing the trial reward, and a familiar black light flickered once again.

As the light dissipated, the treasure inside was revealed.

It was a sheet of gold foil, covered in densely packed script. It also depicted human figures on both the front and back, marked with countless small dots.

The largest script was the three words at the very top.

It was all ancient script of the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty.

"Circulation Acupoint Method!"

Though the script was small, it was perfectly clear in the eyes of a Martial Arts Expert like Yang Chan. His senses had long surpassed those of an ordinary person, allowing him to see even the most minute details with extreme clarity and detect disturbances from far away.

The contents of this gold foil made Yang Chan’s heart stir.

He had previously learned about some of the Human Race’s Divine Acupoints from the Black Dragon. Though the information wasn’t complete, he got the general idea. He also knew about the Dragon Race’s unique Divine Acupoints, which were vastly different from those of humans.

But the contents of this gold foil made its meaning clear.

"The Human Race has an extremely large number of Acupoints, but not many can be called Divine Acupoints!"

the Black Dragon said slowly, looking at the contents.

Yang Chan didn’t reply, instead continuing to examine the contents.

The gold foil documented three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints within the human body. The diagrams of the human figures marked the locations of these Acupoints, corresponding to their positions in a real body.

However, even with these diagrams for comparison, every person’s body is different, so naturally their Circulation Acupoints will also vary.

And the method recorded on it, the Circulation Measuring Ruler, was what Yang Chan found truly fascinating.

It was a method for measuring the body’s Acupoints, a way to find their precise locations.

Often, being off by just an inch or two meant missing the target Acupoint entirely, or even landing on a spot with no Acupoint at all. The Circulation Measuring Ruler was the solution to this problem.

Furthermore, even if one was ignorant of the body’s Acupoints, this method could be used to measure and find them.

Cultivation in the Divine Acupoint Realm above Martial Saint required finding these Divine Acupoints in order to open them.

The Essence Upper Embryo that Yang Chan had previously opened was one such Circulation Acupoint. It was a location that could become a Divine Acupoint. However, Yang Chan’s Cultivation was insufficient, and the Taiyu Divine Continent lacked Divine Veins, so he had been unable to open it.

But now that he had found one, he could use it to break through in the future, once his Cultivation was high enough and the environment was right. This would be much easier than it was for an ordinary person, an obviously immense advantage.

"However, this method for finding Acupoints recorded on here is rather interesting."

"It should be a method created by a Human Race expert, a method specifically for finding Acupoints in the human body."

"Although not every Acupoint in the human body can become a Divine Acupoint, finding these Acupoints is also very beneficial for Cultivators."

"Furthermore, it’s a measurement method. Perhaps it can find some hidden Divine Acupoints. This is something not necessarily recorded even in many Superior Cultivation Techniques!"

the Black Dragon remarked with a sigh after examining it further.

The measurement method was like a ruler that could blaze a new trail where no path existed.

It might seem useless under normal circumstances, but its potential was immense. After all, what was recorded was finite; the rest was up to the individual.

In Divine Acupoint Cultivation, the more you opened, the more you accumulated, and the stronger you would become. This was a great help for breaking through to the True God Realm.

But that was only if you could find them. Otherwise, you had no choice but to break through with what you had.

"Does the Dragon Race have any methods for measuring Divine Acupoints?"

Yang Chan looked at the Black Dragon and asked.

The heritage of the Dragon Race was ancient and profound. Every black dragon received inherited memories at birth, but how much they could comprehend ultimately depended on the individual.

The stronger they became, the more inherited memories they could access. Thus, unlike Yang Chan, dragons didn’t need to search for various Cultivation Techniques to practice.

"In my inherited memories, there are quite a few, such as the Divine Dragon Measuring Heaven Skill, the Ziwei Measuring Heaven Method, Profound Jade..."

The Black Dragon rattled off a long list of methods for measuring the Acupoints within a Dragon Body. Each method had a different focus and varied greatly from the others.

"As for these methods of measuring Acupoints, you really only need to cultivate one. After all, measuring Acupoints is about precision, not quantity. You would only choose another measurement method if you could no longer find any new Acupoints with the first one."

"However, this process is extremely time-consuming. Even members of the Dragon Race are unwilling to spend too much of their lives on it."

"After all, after breaking through to the Divine Acupoint Realm, one’s Lifespan is not endless. It’s just much longer than most living beings."

"To many living beings, such an existence might as well be a Divine Spirit. After all, from birth to death, they see these figures who broke through to the Divine Acupoint Realm sitting firmly upon their divine pedestals. It’s just that these so-called Divine Spirits are well aware of their own mortality."

The Black Dragon gave a bitter smile as it spoke.

Yang Chan was already aware of this. He had learned as much after his conversations with the Black Dragon revealed that it, too, was bound by a finite Lifespan.

The Black Dragon was powerful, but it still had a limited Lifespan, and it had been nearing the end of it. If it hadn’t become the Artifact Spirit of the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, it would be facing the imminent crisis of its life ending right now.

"How many Divine Acupoints did you open before?"

Yang Chan was quite curious about this. The Black Dragon was clearly powerful, but it had never specified its exact level of Cultivation.

"Not many, just over two hundred!"

the Black Dragon said nonchalantly, as if it were nothing special. But the proud angle of its raised head revealed just how pleased it was with this accomplishment.

"That’s quite a lot!"

Yang Chan nodded.

Even though he now possessed the Circulation Acupoint Method, which documented three hundred and sixty-five Acupoints, he knew from the Black Dragon that not every Acupoint could become a Divine Acupoint. Therefore, the Black Dragon’s achievement of opening over two hundred was no small feat.

Besides, opening Divine Acupoints was known to be incredibly difficult.

However, Yang Chan wasn’t clear on the specific details.

"What do you think of the Circulation Measuring Ruler, the measurement method within the Circulation Acupoint Method?"

’I don’t understand these things well,’ Yang Chan thought. ’After all, I’ve never come into contact with this knowledge before. If I hadn’t obtained these rewards by passing the elite trial in the Purple Void Secret Realm, I would have no knowledge of any of this.’

’This is also related to my incomplete heritage and the fact that the Cyan Yuan Sect isn’t powerful. Perhaps I could learn such things in the Merak Sacred Land.’

’Although the Cyan Yuan Sect is the overlord of Qing State and has some renown within the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, if you expand the scope further, it’s nothing at all.’

’Just like here in the Purple Void Secret Realm, the Cyan Yuan Sect isn’t qualified to compete for the treasures deeper inside. They can only obtain some benefits on the periphery, a direct result of their lack of strength.’

’It had been much the same in Taiyin Heaven.’

’Faced with these truly powerful factions, the Cyan Yuan Sect is still found wanting. This was precisely why the Former Sect Leader, Liu Xuan, had left the Cyan Yuan Sect to join the Merak Sacred Land.’

’His status in the Cyan Yuan Sect had been high, but there was little potential, so he couldn’t see a future for himself there. But in the Merak Sacred Land, it was different; the path of future Cultivation was clear.’

’And Liu Xuan’s luck had been quite good. He arrived just as the Merak Sacred Land needed the Cyan Yuan Sect’s influence to compete for opportunities in Taiyin Heaven. After joining, he wasn’t left with nothing; he became the Peak Master of Chiyu Peak—an opportunity many could only dream of.’

’Liu Xuan just happened to be in the right place at the right time.’

’Now, with the Purple Void Secret Realm appearing near the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, the Merak Sacred Land is once again using the Cyan Yuan Sect to gain a head start. The Merak Saintess herself has even entered the Purple Void Secret Realm to search for opportunities.’

’You couldn’t say this is just the Cyan Yuan Sect’s good luck; the Merak Sacred Land also gained significant benefits.’

’When I followed the Merak Saintess and the others to break those Large Arrays, I saw the many rewards the Merak Sacred Land reaped—rewards that are hard to find in the outside world.’

’Even though the Merak Sacred Land is built upon a Grotto Heaven, with Spiritual Qi density perhaps no less than the Purple Void Secret Realm’s, the accumulation over time is a factor that can’t be ignored.’

’After all, the Purple Void Secret Realm hasn’t been opened for a very long time. The many Spirit Medicines inside have accumulated potency over a vast period, making their effects exceptional. For the Merak Sacred Land, these are all extra income, a very nice harvest indeed.’

"The Circulation Acupoint Method is actually quite good. Although Master can’t use it now, when your Cultivation reaches the Blood Exchange Martial Saint Peak, you can use it as a reference to find the Acupoints in your body. Then you can test whether these Acupoints can become Divine Acupoints."

"Everyone’s Physique is different. Some people’s Acupoints cannot become Divine Acupoints, but others’ can."

"Having this gold foil will also save Master a lot of time, allowing you to confirm earlier whether they have the potential to become Divine Acupoints."

"However, if Master truly wants to use it, you must still go to a world suitable for Cultivation. Only with the support of a Divine Vein will Master have a chance of breaking through to the Divine Acupoint Realm. Otherwise, it will all be like a flower in a mirror or the moon’s reflection in water—nothing but an illusion."
