Chapter 350: Seven Orifices
After many years of cultivation, Su Zimo had already made it a habit to only cultivate the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness at night.
He had already attained greater mastery of the Organs Refinement section and had been cultivating the Orifice Clearing section for some time now.
The orifices referred to the seven on a person’s head!
For the majority of races, their heads were the most mysterious, important and sensitive part of their bodies. Most beings would die instantly if their heads suffered immense damage.
Legend has it that the Purple Residence, Heavenly Palace and Immortal Stage acupoints were located on the head…
Even the Essence Spirit of the immortal Dao and the Yin Spirit of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness were located in the depths of the head.
However, that was a point Su Zimo had not reached given his current cultivation realm.
In the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, the cultivation of the head came after cultivation of the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow and five organs – it was also a clear indication of the importance of the head.
The cultivators grabbed some food casually and hurried to make good use of time to cultivate.
It was the same for Su Zimo as well.
The moment he entered the ancient battlefield yesterday, he felt his fourth meridian surfacing vaguely. Coupled with that massive battle, it would probably take a few more days at most for him to unlock his fourth spirit meridian completely!
During this period of time, Si Yutang took a walk outside and upon returning, said with a serious tone, “This cave is really well hidden. Even after last night, there are no signs of birds or beasts nearby.”
Most people did not have any reaction when they heard that. However, some of them looked at Su Zimo thoughtfully.
For the next few days, Su Zimo continued to head out at night and cultivated his mouth orifice. In the day, he would be in the cave, absorbing spirit qi to unlock his fourth spirit meridian.
On the seventh day, a loud bang echoed from Su Zimo’s body.
Boom!
Beneath his green robes, the fourth spirit meridian shone brightly and was crystal clear. Within it, spirit energy gushed, producing the sound of a tsunami wave.
He was now a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the seventh day!
On the eighth day, Su Xiaoning reached late-stage Foundation Establishment.
On the ninth day, Leng Rou and little fatty unlocked their fourth spirit meridian as well.
The few of them had the lowest cultivation realm. After entering the ancient battlefield, they benefited the most from the immensely rich spirit qi and were the first ones to break through.
On the tenth day, someone else broke through.
Ji Chengtian of Ethereal Peak unlocked his sixth spirit meridian!
Starting from the fourth spirit meridian, it was increasingly difficult to unlock further meridians. In fact, many cultivators were stuck at three meridian Foundation Establishment for their entire lives without being able to advance.
There were a few reasons why Ji Chengtian was the first among the five meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators to break through.
In part, it was because he had accumulated enough resources and built up a strong foundation.
Next, it was thanks to the secret skill of Ethereal Peak, Ethereal Foundation Establishment.
Most importantly, he had a close brush with death in that battle 10 days ago. That triggered the potential of life from deep within his body, allowing him to have his current breakthrough.
After 10 days, Su Zimo’s group’s strength had increased.
As such, everyone’s confidence in the expedition towards the ancient ruins increased as well.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Su Zimo waved and dispersed the array formation of the cave, declaring in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”
