Chapter 211: Returning Back To Becoming A Cultivator (III)

[It's called Gravity.]

'Gravity? Weird name, what is it?' Ye Tian Yun asked with a curious expression over his face.

[Gravity is the universal force of attraction acting between all matters. The matter is a term for everything that exists in existence.]

'It's a force? How come I have never felt it?'

[It's the weakest natural force out there, Host. you didn't feel it like a 'force' because it seems too natural and lowkey, then it took a heavenly encounter between a man and an apple that they succeeded in discovering this.]

'An apple and a man? That's a weird combo. It must have been a crazy day for that guy,' Ye Tian Yun shrugged, 'However, how is this gravity going to help me?'

[Host, as mentioned earlier, Gravity is a force of attraction between matter. And the matter is everything - you, the Qi inside you, and everything around you. This means there's a force attracting everything towards each other.]

[However, this force is proportional to the mass of that matter. For example, the mass difference between you and your sword isn't much. Thus, you can't feel this force; however, the mass difference between this whole continent and you is so much that the force is very high.]

[This is the reason why no matter how high you can jump, you will fall back to the ground. And this force is going to be useful for you right now.]

[You see, just like how there's a force of attraction between you and the ground. Similarly, there's a force of attraction between the Qi and the ground.]

[If you were to lie down and unblock your meridian, this force will be perpendicular to the force of Qi flow, this will flow parallel to the ground, through your body. This means you will lose a lot of momentum due to these perpendicular forces.]

[Thus, it is recommended that you stand up and unblock your meridians so you can make better use of gravity and add extra momentum to the Qi flow, making it easier for you to unblock all your meridians, with certainty.]

Ye Tian Yun had a blank expression by the time System finished explaining everything, 'System, most of the stuff went above my head, but you sounded quite intelligent, and my intuition tells me to trust you on this.'

'Well then,' While standing up, Ye Tian Yun continued, 'Let's do everything while standing.'

Ye Tian Yun then took the longest needle and put it between his index and middle fingers of both hands, easily balancing it.

What he needed to do next was to move his hands and adjust the needle between his fingers on the right meridian, which would direct the force on the blocked meridian when pressured, thus forcing the meridian to unblock.

With these thoughts, Ye Tian Yun began to follow these steps practically. 

Soon he felt the meridian he was looking for, and with the needle between his hands, he pushed the needle from both sides, which in turn put pressure on the meridian.

A significantly visible bulge could be seen near the tip of the needles, as Ye Tian Yun slowly increased the force and pressed the needles even more.

Soon came the breaking point as Ye Tian Yun felt a sizzling current pass through his body, shaking his hands from the sudden shock due to the released pressure.

Plop!

Ye Tian Yun felt like his hands had exploded!

Before Ye Tian Yun could even assess the situation, he 'felt' something rushing through both of his hands, straight towards his chest!

Plop!

Plop!

Plop!

Irregular beats echoed in Ye Tian Yun's ear as he felt his meridians unblock!

Suddenly came an intense pain around his heart, as the force from both sides collided and the meridian wrapping the heart bulged!

This didn't last even for an instant; however, Ye Tian Yun saw his whole life pass in front of his eyes.

Before his hand could even clutch his chest, the pain was already gone!

But the weird sensation was still there, and just then, Ye Tian Yun felt like a double-sided cylindrical bomb blasting through his body, as he felt mysterious force passing through his body!

One force went towards his head, while the other went down. Before he could even balance himself, the intense pain returned once again. However, this time it was between his eyebrows!

Ye Tian Yun felt his forehead bulge as if it would explode at any moment.

Plop!

Just then, a popping sound echoed through his ear, and he felt his head get lightheaded.

Before he could enjoy this relaxed state, Ye Tian Yun's leg muscles suddenly cramped, almost making him fall to the ground.

Somehow balancing himself, Ye Tian Yun kept standing, trying his best not to mess up his posture.

The cramp also didn't last long, and soon Ye Tian Yun felt himself getting freed, and lightweight as the most relaxed feeling ever passed through his legs.

'Fuuuuuu….'

Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath and sighed in relief, as all his meridians were now open and working!

A smile naturally formed on his face because now, he had officially finished half of his task!

Plop!

Ye Tian Yun felt tired and relaxed as he laid down on the ground, his legs and arms stretched wide open, his chest heaving up and down as he calmed his erratic breathing.

'Finally, I am back to being a cultivator.'

It was quite an achievement for him. After all, he wasn't a genius in terms of alchemy, and usually, it's those alchemists who are proficient in terms of acupuncture.

His luck stayed with him, and he was able to do the impossible.

In just a few days, Ye Tian Yun had taken a huge leap in terms of his strength and confidence.

After a few minutes, now with normal breathing, Ye Tian Yun raised his upper body and sat straight on the ground while staring at the wall opposite to himself.

'Let's see what secret this place is hiding.'
