Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, Gu Chen's eyes were filled with endless light, which, although intense, was not blinding but extremely sacred. Gu Chen bathed in the holy light, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease.

The moment Gu Chen's fingertips touched the heavenly seed, it suddenly shrank into a speck of light and merged into his skin.

Boom!

It was as if he had been struck by a bolt of thunder, shaking his body violently. At this moment, rays of dawn light burst forth from the countless pores all over his body.

At this moment, Gu Chen was like the embodiment of the sun itself!

As the heavenly seed entered his body and merged with him, in an instant, it illuminated his entire form so thoroughly that his flesh, bones, and organs were all clearly visible, as if he had become transparent.

Then, the heavenly seed sank downward, traveling through his body, with the surging holy light illuminating every part of him, giving Gu Chen the sensation of being set ablaze.

Eventually, the heavenly seed came to rest at a particular spot just below Gu Chen's abdomen.

This place was about three inches below his navel, located on the golden ratio of the human body.

"Is this... the Dan Tian?!"

Through internal observation, Gu Chen noticed where the heavenly seed had settled and felt a surge of amazement.

In the martial arts of the Nine Regions, there was no mention of a Dan Tian. The power of a martial artist was stored in their meridians and flesh.

However, with his experience from a previous life, Gu Chen recognized that the heavenly seed had settled right in the Dan Tian, three inches below the navel.

This place was also known as "the ancestor of life," "the source of vitality," "the foundation of the five organs and six viscera," "the meeting of yin and yang," "the gate of breath," and "the land of water and fire intermingling," among other names, bearing various appellations.

In short, this position was of vital importance to the human body.

But since arriving in the Nine Regions, Gu Chen had never heard anyone mention the Dan Tian, and it was never utilized in the practice of martial arts. Yet, to his surprise, today, the heavenly seed had come to rest there. For a moment, Gu Chen was lost in thought, considering many possibilities.

Buzz!

At that moment, the mysterious fist guard deep within the flesh of Gu Chen's left hand seemed to sense the presence of the heavenly seed; it vibrated incessantly, jolting Gu Chen awake.

Faintly, Gu Chen felt a terrifying force emerging, as if with a single thought, it could change the color of wind and clouds.

Gu Chen frowned. At this time, he hoped the mysterious fist guard wouldn't cause any trouble.

But then, the heavenly seed inside Gu Chen trembled gently, as if it could suppress the Eight Desolations and all under heaven, sending an imperceptible wave through his flesh, reaching the mysterious fist guard, and instantly calming it.

Seeing this, Gu Chen's anxiety eased. It seemed that the seed within him was indeed extraordinary, even capable of subduing the mysterious fist guard from the ancient Pure Yang Martial Sect.

After all, none of the relics handed down from the ancient and primordial eras were ordinary; each had an exceptionally remarkable origin.

Boom!

The heavenly seed floated in the Dan Tian below Gu Chen's abdomen, giving a slight tremor, as if a space had been opened there. The enigmatic heavenly seed seemed to have chosen this spot to settle down.

Immediately afterward, under his internal gaze, Gu Chen saw the heavenly seed contract slightly. With this contraction, it felt as if the whole world might be drawn into it.

Boom!

The next moment, the heavenly seed vibrated and expanded back to its original size, releasing a tide of extremely pure Heavenly Earth Essence Qi that surged out, washing over Gu Chen's entire body and spreading to his limbs and bones.

At that moment, Gu Chen's body shimmered with multicolored lights, and his formerly stagnant cultivation level suddenly surged once more.

With the help of this incredibly pure Heavenly Earth Essence Qi, the remaining six orifices were almost instantly penetrated!

Thus, Gu Chen reached the limit of the Hundred Orifices Stage, opening all one hundred and eight apertures within his body! Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

One by one, points of light shone from Gu Chen's body, exactly one hundred and eight orifices, like one hundred and eight stars, with their starlight spreading across the surface of his body, seemingly forming an array.

Not only that, but faintly, within each of the one hundred and eight orifices surrounding Gu Chen, sacred light circulated, and each seemed to contain a holy spirit from the heavens seated within, appearing exceedingly extraordinary.

"One hundred and eight orifices, just like that..." Gu Chen murmured. He too had not expected that the barrier that had troubled him for so long would be so easily shattered.

But this was merely the beginning.

Thump thump!

Two more sounds like the bursting of spring thunder echoed in Gu Chen's ears; above his head and below his feet, two barriers were broken through — these were the heavenly and earthly mysterious passages within his body!

From then on, there was no longer any barrier between the internal heaven and earth within Gu Chen and the vast heaven and earth of the outside world.

As Gu Chen practiced the Refining Spirit Secret and had ingested the Spiritual Cultivation Flower, his spirit was very strong. After the heavenly and earthly passages were connected, his mind naturally linked with the universe.

Rumble!

In just an instant, the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic, an Earth Grade technique within him, operated subconsciously, and the endless Heavenly Earth Essence Qi poured into his body through the one hundred and eight apertures on his body.

At the final moment, Gu Chen, now clearly aware, saw that after opening the heavenly and earthly mysterious passages, his cultivation level had reached as much as 1,600 years!
