From Dugu Yifeng's point of view, choosing to break through to the Yin Yang meridians clearly carried a significant risk. However, the risks and rewards were always proportional. With the Yin Yang meridians as the breakthrough point, after breaking through to the Houtian realm, there was no doubt that he would be much stronger!
Moreover, to be able to open the Yin and Yang meridians right after breaking through to the Lesser Heaven stage was definitely a great benefit to his future progress in the martial arts!
Since he had already opened up the yin and yang meridians, then wouldn't it be easier to open up the other meridians!
After some thought, Dugu Yifeng decided – to open the yin and yang meridians, and break through to the precelestial stage!
The yin yang meridians were two muscles near the Dantian that existed in a symmetrical fashion. The two were partially connected, so in order to open either of these two meridians, one would have to link the other one together!
Yin and Yang were born, Heaven and Earth were born!
As long as the yin yang meridians were opened, the martial artists would be able to take a good look at the mysteries of this vast world!
Time passed by in a daze. It was time for dinner. Dugu Yifeng and Han Xi had a meal. Ling Yanran had her servants inform her that Dugu Yifeng had left to deliver the meal to Uncle Sa, so she did not eat with them.
He was already quite old, and his recovery ability was naturally inferior to that of a young man like Dugu Yifeng. This time, his injuries were quite severe, and Ling Yanran was very concerned about this butler who had treated her like a granddaughter ever since she was a child and even chose to personally take care of him.
Shaking his head, a smile hung on Dugu Yifeng's face. Ling Yanran had always been a filial person, so Dugu Yifeng decided not to advise her otherwise.
"That's right, Young Master Yi Feng. Miss Yan Ran said that she will take a walk by the Green Willow River tomorrow morning. She asked if you want to go with her tomorrow morning." A maidservant beside Dugu Yifeng said.
"Oh?" Dugu Yifeng wrinkled his eyebrows and said with some regret, "Oh, so it's like that. I have matters to attend to tomorrow, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany her there. "
The servant girl responded and left to pass the news to Ling Yanran.
Ling Yanran had lived in the Divine Sword Villa for a long time and was very familiar with the An Ping village. During her free time, she would often go to the river with Dugu Yifeng to play.
Hearing this news, Dugu Yifeng didn't think too much about it. He did indeed have something important to do tomorrow. To be exact, it was a matter of a breakthrough!
After spending an entire afternoon preparing, Dugu Yifeng was preparing to go into seclusion tonight and break through!
Late at night, Dugu Yifeng had someone prepare a large basin filled with hot water in his room. The basin was filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs.
These medicinal ingredients were the ones that Dugu Yifeng had bought from Eastrock City. Dugu Yifeng did not stay idle for a few days after the duel between Eastern Stone City and Liu Wuji. He used the Cosmic Star Martial Arts School's network to buy all the medicinal herbs that could help him open up eight extraordinary meridians, and had the Cosmic Star Martial Arts School send people to bring back piles of medicinal herbs beforehand.
In the quiet room, there was a large wooden basin with a few medicinal plant leaves floating on top of it. The water in the basin was a purplish black color.
Dugu Yifeng took off his clothes and entered the water naked. Without being separated by his clothes, the effects of the medicinal herbs would be maximized.
Being submerged in the water, Dugu Yifeng was not in a hurry to make his breakthrough. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to meditate. The ancients used bathing and burning incense to calm their hearts. Today, even though he couldn't be this complicated, he could still meditate and meditate.
Dugu Yifeng remembered that his own Sect had inherited the general principles of the Nine Heavens Free Technique: The heart is carefree and unrestrained, while the mind is carefree and unrestrained.
The cultivation of Soul Depth was something that his teacher had always emphasized.
Sitting cross-legged for a moment, Dugu Yifeng's heart was as calm as a mirror without the slightest ripple. He opened his eyes, waved his ten fingers, and activated the internal force within his body.
Today, he would finally step into the new world of martial arts!
Once he entered the Houtian realm, he would be able to take a peek at the mysteries of martial arts!
Dugu Yifeng did not dare to be distracted. Right now, his inner strength was still flowing through his mixed meridians, but the route of circulation of these mixed meridians was irregular. Furthermore, the narrow and fine of the meridians were also different.
When he reached the Pre-Sky Realm, when the inner strength ran through his meridians, it was like a horse carriage running on the official road, which made it easier to run.
Therefore, there would be a martial artist who would say, 'The Pre-Sky Realm is the threshold of martial arts.
As Dugu Yifeng circulated his inner strength, it slowly accelerated towards the direction of his Yang Meridian.
Like a slowly accelerating river, Dugu Yifeng controlled his internal Qi to the point of the infarct. As long as a martial artist was able to open up these infarcts, they would be able to step into the Houtian realm.
"Rumble …"
A light sound rang out as Dugu Yifeng controlled his internal Qi to collide with the infarct.
Without a single crack, Dugu Yifeng was completely undiscouraged. This was within his expectations; after all, this was the yin yang meridian!
Different from the other separate meridians, the yin yang meridians had some connections. Dugu Yifeng could feel that with every collision, a portion of the power would be transferred from the yang meridians to the yin meridians.
With each collision, Dugu Yifeng slowly adjusted the rhythm of the impact.
Once …
Twice …
Ten times!
The force of the impact continued to increase again and again. Dugu Yifeng didn't dare to use all of his energy to open up this meridian. He still needed to reserve a portion of his strength to attack the Yin Meridian!
Time slowly passed. As Dugu Yifeng adjusted his strength, he circulated his mental cultivation method to continuously restore his internal energy until noon the next day.
"Break for me!"
"Break! Break!" All of a sudden, Dugu Yifeng entered a crazed state. His internal Qi was at a strange frequency as it collided with the infarct. The force of the collision also increased at an extremely strange rate!
Dugu Yifeng did not use too much of his strength. It was still the same power he had before. However, he used a very rare method of exertion – Inch Force, to stimulate his inner strength!
The inner force was like a wave as it layered over each other. In that instant, an extremely terrifying force of impact suddenly exploded out.
In an instant, a sound like an avalanche rang out from within Dugu Yifeng's body, followed by a surge of inner strength that broke through his body.
His Yang Meridian had been opened!
Not caring about his happiness, Dugu Yifeng tightened his mind and controlled the rest of his internal energy to rush to his Yin Meridian. This time, without the Yang Meridian's power, Dugu Yifeng felt much more relaxed.
As his inner strength gently flowed into the Yin Meridian, Dugu Yifeng felt that the Yin Meridian's infarct had loosened quite a bit. This was the result of the massive force spreading to the Yin Meridian when the Yang Meridian had been broken through.
By diverting some of his attention to recover his inner strength, Dugu Yifeng could be said to have reached the Houtian realm!
The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth outside of his body was directly absorbed into his dantian, then it flowed into the inner force river flowing through his meridians, and continued to rush towards his Yin Meridians!
In just a moment, Dugu Yifeng was able to deeply sense how fast he was absorbing the world's spiritual energy and how strong his internal energy had become after stepping into the Houtian realm!
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Yifeng concentrated his mind and took advantage of the victory to give chase.
The turbulent internal energy was like a wave, each wave more powerful than the one before, ruthlessly crashing into the Yin Meridian that was already in pieces!
"Rumble …"
The Yin Meridian attack had been broken!
Yin Yang Twin Meridians, Clear!
