Chapter 359: Chapter 229: Barbarian Clan Invasion

Yellow Sand World, Oasis Camp.

Inside a wooden hut, Li Qian slowly opened his eyes and looked at the piece of roasted meat hanging in front of him. He first cut off a small slice with a Bone Knife and began chewing it in his mouth.

After eating quite a few slices and feeling a warmth course through his stomach, Li Qian immediately used his Spiritual Sense to sense the acupoints within his body.

It’s still a bit hazy; he could only vaguely sense the Divine Aperture Treasure concealed within the acupoints.

A long while later, he exhaled deeply, immediately stood up, and assumed a stance to begin practicing the Sword Stabbing Fist.

It had been over a hundred years since he had practiced the Sword Stabbing Fist. However, this martial art had already reached perfection, as if it were ingrained in his very marrow, and he simply could not forget it.

Therefore, the fist technique he executed was effortlessly masterful, naturally flawless.

As he practiced the martial art, he also divided his attention to sense with his Spiritual Sense...

Suddenly, in the middle of practising the technique, Li Qian stopped because he felt a very distinct movement within the Divine Aperture of one acupoint under this move.

He quickly resumed practicing that specific move.

After repeating it multiple times, he was sure this move could stimulate that Divine Aperture.

"How can the Sword Stabbing Fist, such an ordinary martial art, stimulate the Divine Aperture?" Li Qian stroked his chin, forming a certain conjecture in his mind.

Perhaps some specific movements can influence the Divine Apertures. If he could correlate different movements with each Divine Aperture, maybe he could create his own Cultivation Technique to develop the Divine Apertures.

Thinking this, he continued practicing the Sword Stabbing Fist and eventually found another move that could stimulate another Divine Aperture.

"The entire Sword Stabbing Fist can ultimately stimulate two Divine Apertures." Li Qian muttered to himself.

Next, he simplified the Sword Stabbing Fist, leaving only the two moves that could still stimulate these two Divine Apertures.

So he repeatedly practiced these two moves, aiming to stimulate the Divine Apertures and train them.

Moreover, with his Spiritual Sense, he kept an eye on the absorption of Spiritual Energy by these two Divine Apertures...

"It seems these two Divine Apertures are absorbing more Spiritual Energy than others..." Li Qian pondered silently.

However, he couldn’t be sure whether exercising the Divine Apertures had increased the efficiency of absorbing Spiritual Energy.

He would have to observe for a while longer. If the rate of Spiritual Energy absorption by these two Divine Apertures continues to increase, then it would confirm the effectiveness of the two Divine Aperture training moves.

He could sense hundreds of Divine Apertures within his body, albeit vaguely with his Spiritual Sense. Although he had only found two moves related to the Divine Apertures, as long as he diligently researched, he was sure he could discover more movements that could exercise the Divine Apertures.

Following that, Li Qian attempted to cultivate the Heartless Sword Skill and the Pure Sword Body... both Cultivation Techniques had corresponding moves for practice.

Yet, after practising them one by one, he was inexplicably unable to stimulate any Divine Aperture.

"How strange, even the basics of the Sword Stabbing Fist can stimulate a Divine Aperture; why can’t more advanced Cultivation Technique moves do it?" Li Qian stroked his chin, falling into thought.

After the Return to Void period, he would have to find some basic martial arts techniques to study thoroughly; they might be useful.

...

Longevity Realm.

Yiling Town.

After arriving in the Longevity Realm, Yang Fan and Wen Wan heeded Li Qian’s advice and did not leave Yiling Town, instead choosing to live there in seclusion.

However, after trying for some time, they found it impossible to enter the Dream Realm...

The reason they returned to the Longevity Realm was that it was very difficult to enter the Dream Realm from the Human World... For Yang Fan, it was only an occasional occurrence.

Wen Wan, having used special methods in the Human World over the years, gradually eliminated the damage caused by the Black Demon Needle to the Primordial Spirit, but she still couldn’t enter the Dream Realm from the Human World.

"Husband, there is something peculiar about Yiling Town... I feel like we must leave this place for us to possibly enter the Dream Realm," said Wen Wan.

As a Supreme Saint, she was highly sensitive to the essence of the world.

When she first fled and arrived in Yiling Town, she already felt something amiss.

"Wan’er... Master said we must not leave Yiling Town, or the people from the Spiritual King Mansion will definitely find us..." said Yang Fan.

He took his master’s words to heart.

Moreover, the two of them had also picked up some news during their time in Yiling Town. A major upheaval had occurred a few years ago that almost led to the complete destruction of Yiling Town. Fortunately, a powerful individual from the Longevity Secret Realm intervened and saved the town from catastrophe.

The couple suspected that the savior from the Longevity Secret Realm might very well be their master.

Initially, Yang Fan did not believe that his master was a powerful figure from the Longevity Secret Realm... After all, in his perception, although the master was formidable, he seemed to be at most a Martial Saint, right?

If it were the legendary ancestor from the Divine Sword Sect, there might be a possibility.

But after Wen Wan told him some things, he came to a sudden realization. No wonder the master never took action all these years?

He had a conjecture... The so-called ancestor was actually his master. Otherwise, why was there only legend of the ancestor all these years, yet the ancestor never appeared?

If the master was the ancestor, then everything would make sense.

"Husband, if we stay in Yiling Town indefinitely and can’t enter the Dream Realm, then wouldn’t our return to the Longevity Realm be in vain?" Wen Wan proposed, "We can head to Tianyuan City, a place of unpredictability. The forces of the Eternal Dynasty, the Great Moon Empire, and the Golden Demon Court cannot penetrate it... As long as we can reach there, we will definitely be safe."

Originally, when she escaped from the Eternal Dynasty, her destination was Tianyuan City.

However, because she met Yang Fan’s master, she ultimately chose to go to the Human World.
