Chapter 187: Chapter 183: Becoming a Martial Saint, Today! (Seeking Subscriptions)

Qingzhou, Lin Yuan City.

Qin Zheng sat upright in the Quiet Room, surrounded by emptiness and tranquility.

With a thought, a strand of spiritual power sank into the Heart Sea, examining the Merit Scroll.

[Qin Zheng]

[Lifespan: 500 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Tai Chi Primordial Seal (Beginner), True Dragon Immortal Body (Fifth Aperture)...]

[Merit: 1863 jin 4 liang 8 qian]

[Current Martial Art · Tai Chi Primordial Seal, can be enhanced, requires 3000 jin of merit, would you like to enhance?]

[Current Cultivation Technique · True Dragon Immortal Body, can be enhanced, requires 3000 jin of merit, would you like to enhance?]

[Discovery...]

Both require 3000 jin to enhance...

A hint of helplessness flashed across Qin Zheng’s face.

No matter how he accumulated merit, it was still not enough.

He sighed softly in his heart, then his thoughts flowed and he began to carefully feel the newly assimilated beginner’s Tai Chi Primordial Seal.

During the assimilation by the Cang Yuan River, his spiritual power had been distracted and he hadn’t had time to fully understand this martial art.

Now that he had assimilated at the beginner level, various principles flowed through his mind, clarifying his understanding of this martial art.

Tai Chi Primordial Seal!

This too was a Dharmakaya Level martial art!

Similar to the True Dragon Immortal Body, this martial art also required the activation of the body’s acupoints.

However, while the True Dragon Immortal Body only needed to open one hundred and eight acupoints, the Tai Chi Primordial Seal required the opening of three hundred sixty-five acupoints!

Opening thirty-six acupoints constitutes minor achievement, one hundred and eight acupoints constitutes major achievement, three hundred sixty-five acupoints constitutes perfection!

Moreover, Qin Zheng noticed that the acupoints required for the Tai Chi Primordial Seal did not overlap with those of the True Dragon Immortal Body.

He immediately compared the principles of both martial arts.

Qin Zheng suddenly discovered that the acupoints contained within the human body seemingly had no specific limit.

Each martial art required the opening of unique acupoints!

This sensation, rather than saying it was the activation of acupoints in the body, was more like constructing corresponding acupoints in the body during the practice of martial arts.

The number of acupoints constructed by the True Dragon Immortal Body was not even half that of the Tai Chi Primordial Seal!

Therefore... it is apparent that the martial art Tai Chi Primordial Seal, with its lofty intentions and immense potential, certainly far surpasses the True Dragon Immortal Body!

Reflecting on the scene he had witnessed while assimilating this martial art, Qin Zheng was even more certain of this idea.

After all...

In front of that vision, what was a True Dragon considered?

Furthermore, both martial arts needed the activation of acupoints, which made Qin Zheng speculate.

The practice at the Martial Saint stage might involve constructing acupoints within the human body!

And the reason the Nine Gates True Scripture of Great Jin’s Taiwu Academy could only support a limited realm of cultivation might be due to the incomplete techniques, unable to construct the remaining acupoints, thus unable to continue advancing!

Brilliance swirled in Qin Zheng’s eyes.

One thought after another rapidly flickered through his mind.

Until, moments later, these thoughts gradually dissipated, and his mind slowly calmed down.

At that moment, Qin Zheng did not hesitate to immediately circulate the Tai Chi Primordial Seal!

Although this martial art was only at the beginner level and had not yet activated any acupoints, the mere intention to capture Spiritual Energy was possible!

To achieve Martial Saint, if not now, then today!

With the Seal Method in motion, Qin Zheng felt his senses transform instantly—the world was no longer the same!

As long as he used this Seal Method to capture a strand of Spiritual Energy, he could use it as kindling, his body as the furnace, and fuse Essence Qi Spirit into one!

Simultaneously, Qin Zheng also sent a strand of spiritual power to internally view his own body.

The essence in Dantian, the Qi in the three channels, the spirit between the brows!

The three of them were like raging fires, now vividly visible before his eyes.

Just waiting for the Spiritual Energy to enter the body, to melt in the furnace, and then he could begin attempting to ascend to Martial Saint!

Time slowly slipped by.

The Quiet Room remained undisturbed.

Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, filled with confusion.

Where was the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth?

Under the operation of the Seal Method, he felt as dry as a desert!

Even if he could capture Spiritual Energy with the Tai Chi Primordial Seal, what use was it without any Spiritual Energy?

This is not right!

This situation was beyond Qin Zheng’s expectations.

Without Spiritual Energy in the world, how could one cultivate and break through using it!

Bang bang!

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qin Zheng’s spiritual power spread instantly, detecting the identity of the person.

He stood up, walked out of the Quiet Room, and stepped forward to open the door of the courtyard.

"Who are you?"

Qin Zheng curiously looked at the plain-looking man before him.

The man’s attire resembled that of a servant or coachman, yet his aura was that of a Half-Step Martial Saint!

"The master asked me to deliver this to you, mentioning that without it, it would be difficult to break through in Qingzhou."

The man grinned and respectfully handed a storage bag to Qin Zheng.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng immediately understood what was inside.

Definitely related to Spiritual Energy!

"Thank you!"

He expressed his gratitude earnestly.

"It’s a minor matter. The master mentioned that more details will be shared with you after your breakthrough," the man respectfully added.

With that, he stepped back, politely excused himself, and left.

Watching the man’s figure disappear, Qin Zheng then closed the courtyard door and returned to the Quiet Room.

Holding the exquisite storage bag, Qin Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly.

Did it mean there was no Spiritual Energy in Qingzhou?

After pondering for a few moments, Qin Zheng shook his head, casting these thoughts aside.

The most pressing matter now was the breakthrough to Martial Saint; all other concerns could temporarily be set aside.

A strand of spiritual power probed into the storage bag, which bore no seal, and was empty, allowing direct access to the space inside the storage bag.

All that could be seen inside this storage bag was a single exquisitely crafted jade box made of blue jade.

With a thought, the jade box appeared from the storage bag into Qin Zheng’s hand.

He reached out and gently opened the jade box.

Whoosh!

A refreshing scent suddenly burst forth from the jade box, rushing towards Qin Zheng’s face.

Merely breathing it in through his nose and mouth made Qin Zheng feel a sense of relief.

As soon as the jade box opened, a round pill came into view in Qin Zheng’s eyes.

This pill contained spiritual energy!

A flash of brilliance passed through Qin Zheng’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he reached out, took the pill, and slowly placed it into his mouth!

Boom!!

In an instant, the pill exploded inside Qin Zheng’s body!

It felt as if an endless cool breeze rushed through his entire body in a flash.

Is this what spiritual energy is?!

No!

Looking inward, Qin Zheng immediately sensed a wisp of blue Qi among the endless cool air.

This wisp of blue Qi, as if possessing its own consciousness, seemed eager to burst out of Qin Zheng’s body.

This is spiritual energy!

Although Qin Zheng had never seen spiritual energy before, at this moment, the thought instantly came to him, and he was extremely certain!

No wonder those without a Spirit Root cannot ascend to Martial Saint.

Without a Spirit Root, one cannot sense spiritual energy!

The wisp of spiritual energy, like a small snake, was about to burst out of Qin Zheng’s physical body.

As if an invisible giant hand appeared, it instantly clenched around it, making it unable to move at all!

Qin Zheng activated the Seal Method, and immediately captured it into his body!

Under the "Tai Chi Primordial Seal," this wisp of spiritual energy instantly lost its ability to resist and then erupted forth.

A more profound and powerful force suddenly surged within Qin Zheng’s body!

"Drink!"

Qin Zheng immediately seized the opportunity. With the support of this profound force, he began to try fusing the Essence Qi Spirit!

With the support of this force, the endless Qi within his three channels and the inner core formed from condensed Essence Qi in his Dantian, began to slowly move upward towards his forehead.

This process was continued and slow.

After a moment, under Qin Zheng’s introspective view, both the inner core and the Qi in the three channels had entered into his forehead.

Boom boom!

Instantly, within his consciousness, it was as if the heavens and earth were booming!

And the power generated by the spiritual energy gathered around the forehead, enveloping it like a furnace.

Glitters of light flickered, like layers of flames.

In the forehead, the Essence Qi Spirit completely converged and began to fuse and transform massively!

...

Boom boom!

At the moment of Qin Zheng’s breakthrough.

Outside, a thunderous boom resounded as well.

This sound instantly captured everyone’s attention.

Wei Wuji stepped forward and looked up at the sky.

He saw the sky was clear; there were no clouds gathering for thunder.

"Thunder out of a clear sky..."

He murmured softly.

Then he sensed a strong change in the Qi mechanism.

He immediately turned his gaze toward the direction of the courtyard where Qin Zheng was, his eyes full of shock.

"The change in Qi mechanism, thunder out of a clear sky, it’s the kid breaking through."

At this moment, Wang Qingquan’s figure appeared beside him, slowly starting to speak.

His tone also carried shock, but more than that, it was filled with relief and anticipation.

"His aptitude is even better than Qingfeng’s."

Wang Qingquan continued.

Hearing this, even Wei Wuji was inwardly shocked.

Wang Qingfeng!

The eighteenth National Martial Saint of Great Jin who had ascended a hundred years ago!

He was also the Direct Disciple of the old man standing before him!

"After a hundred years, my Great Jin is finally about to witness the birth of the nineteenth National Martial Saint."

Wang Qingquan sighed softly, then relaxed his gaze, looking towards Wei Wuji with the corners of his mouth slightly curling up.

"You too are about to become a teacher of a Martial Saint."

There was a hint of teasing in the old man’s eyes.

Wei Wuji was momentarily stunned by these words, then his face began to turn slightly red, clearly too excited to control his circulating blood and Qi!

Indeed!

Qin Zheng was his Direct Disciple!

As long as Qin Zheng successfully broke through to Martial Saint, his status would be transformed, making him a teacher of a Martial Saint!

Such an exalted honor!

With this status, within Great Jin, no matter which power, they would treat him as a distinguished guest!

Even the Martial Saint clans would do the same!

The Great Jin royal family would also have to show him deference!

And the crisis Qingzhou was currently facing could be resolved overnight!

"Report!!!"

Just at that moment, an urgent voice rang out.

An approaching Minor General ran swiftly, simultaneously yelling, "Reporting to the Commander-in-chief! There is movement in the Mo Xu Mountain Range!"
