Hundreds of flowers contested with their fragrances in the flower park where a stone pavillion stood and a little stream flowed. It was a refreshing and serene place.
Zhou Yuan's eyes were closed as he sat inside the stone pavilion while instructions flowed in his mind. It was the Qi drawing method, 'Dragon Breathing', that Cang Yuan had imparted to him previously.
While Youwei was watching him while gently smiling, She was truly happy as Zhou Yuan could open the eight meridians.
' I knew it, how could be his highness not culltivate. his highness is the greatest genius.
One was unable to practice cultivation techniques during the Channel Opening stage, and could only utilise Qi drawing methods to draw the natural Genesis Qi of the land into the body and attack the sealed eight meridian channels to open them bit by bit.
Yaoyao placed her hands behind her back. With her clothes wrapped around her lovely figure, this posture of hers propped up her chest slightly, revealing a very enticing sight. However, Zhou Yuan did not dare to continue looking because Yaoyao's bright eyes were currently staring at him.
"I do want to see exactly how many times you will be able to attack your meridian channel."
Under the attention of Yaoyao's bright eyes, Zhou Yuan's body started to move once again as the ninety eight forms of the frolicking dragon were unhurriedly performed. It was done in a much more experienced manner this time, and felt a little more natural with his now coordinated breathing.
Roar!
As the final action was done, Zhou Yuan once again opened his mouth as a faint dragon roar echoed from within his body. His body immediately jerked while Genesis Qi converged towards him, transforming into a white stream that was swallowed by Zhou Yuan with a single gulp.
Rumble!
As Genesis Qi entered, his body felt like a burning stove. With a thought from Zhou Yuan, the Genesis Qi once again began to surge towards the first meridian channel in waves.
This lasted for another half an incense stick of time.
Zhou Yuan's body glowed with red light as a wave of heat evaporated his sweat. He could feel the slightly more loosened first meridian channel and a smile emerged from the corners of his lips. After some rest, he started to do the ninety eight forms of the frolicking dragon again under Yaoyao's watching eyes.
In the following period of time, Three faint dragon roars sounded in succession. This meant that Zhou Yuan had attacked his channels twice more.
In addition to the previous two times, the total number had reached five!
Five sets of meridian channel unblocking!
an ordinary practitioner that had yet to open his first meridian channel could only attempt to unblock his meridian channels once a day before it would become somewhat unbearable to continue. Yet, Zhou Yuan had done it four times. Just how tough were these meridian channels of his?
As she stood by the side, ripples finally emerged in Yaoyao's eyes.
However, Zhou Yuan was currently in no mood to pay any attention to Yaoyao's expression. His burning body was seated on the floor and he could feel a faint piercing pain pulsing from the meridian channels in his body. This showed that his meridian channels were about to reach their limits after five sets.
A smile involuntarily formed on his lips as he felt his first meridian channel. The originally sealed channel had clearly loosened even more after the fourth set.
After that he looked at su youwei and ask yaoyao, " can i give youwei dragon roar technique ?"
Youwei thought for while and said, "you can give her dragon roar technique but not the primal chaos visulization method. beccuse that is grandpa hei's inheritance to his diciple."
"Looks like even grandpa Hei has underestimated a second-time channel opener like you." Yaoyao's airy voice was tinged with a sliver of shock.
Zhou Yuan chuckled. "Someone as pitiful as myself is probably quite rare."
Yaoyao nodded in acknowledgement when she heard this as a faint smile started to show it self on her face. "That is true. Born with naturally open meridian channels yet having them sealed later on. Such a situation is indeed very rare."
"Ch ch." On the ground, Tuntun pointed at Zhou Yuan with mockery in its eyes.
Having been mocked by a little creature, Zhou Yuan grinded his teeth, grabbed a stone and threw it at Tuntun.
Ao!
However, Tuntun ate the stone in a single gulp before giving a provocative and menacing look to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan laughed. His eyes seemed to turn in thought as he fished out a piece of dried meat from his clothes. It was Genesis Beast meat that had been roasted with the utmost care and was used to recover his energy.
Tuntun's eyes were immediately glued to the piece of dried meat the moment it appeared. Its pink tongue peeked out while saliva dripped from the tip.
"Hehe." Zhou Yuan evilly chuckled as he stuffed the meat in his mouth and started chewing. *Little bastard, you dare to fight me.*
Ao ao!
Tuntun was infuriated upon seeing this and released a few barks.
While Yaoyao watched Zhou Yuan tease Tuntun, she suddenly said, "If it really becomes angry, it will even eat a human. Do you plan on seeing what the inside of its stomach looks like? I for one have never seen anything come out alive from Tuntun's stomach."
Zhou Yuan's chewing mouth suddenly froze. He carefully observed the now erect-tailed Tuntun that was glaring at him before looking at Yaoyao with a forced smile. "You will stop it, right?"
Yaoyao's red lips curved slightly as she seemingly smiled and replied, "Perhaps."
"You're good!" Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and immediately took out all of the Genesis Beast dried meat he had on him. With a smile plastered across his face, he offered them to Tuntun and said, "Come on, feel free to eat till you're full!"
Tuntun instantly pounced towards Zhou Yuan. It pulled all of the meat into its mouth with a single swipe of its tongue and started chewing furiously. However, it looked as if it was very satisfied with the taste as its tail was happily wagging from side to side.
After devouring the dried meat, Tuntun seemed to find Zhou Yuan a little more pleasing to the eye. It stood up and lightly patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder with a paw, as if saying 'you've done a good job'...
Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched a little. This little bastard was practically human.
The origins of this seemingly little-dog-like Tuntun were surely extraordinary.
"Big sis Yaoyao, master said before that you are pretty skilled in Genesis Runes?" Zhou Yuan pushed Tuntun's paw away from his shoulder before looking up at Yaoayo with a smile.
Yaoyao's long shapely eyebrows raised slightly as she replied, "You want to learn Genesis Runes?"
"I've always been learning Genesis Runes. After all, if I was really unable to open my meridian channels, that would have been my final hope." Zhou Yuan honestly confessed.
Yaoyao bent down slightly as her slender fingers picked up Tuntun. She held it in her arms and she gently stroked its fur while the now slightly arched Tuntun comfortably lay on her satin-like skin. This sight made the corners of Zhou Yuan's eyes twitch as he secretly cursed
the little bastard's luck.
Yaoyao lightly stepped forward, walking in to the stone pavillion and elegantly seating herself on a stone stool. She propped up her cheek with a hand as she languidly looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "It is too tiring to teach. I don't feel like it."
Zhou Yuan also sat himself on another stone stool and quoted his offer. "Although the Jadeite Brew is a fine liquor, there are plenty of things that are better than it. I will help you find them."
A beautiful smile emerged on Yaoyao's small face when she heard this. The brilliance of that moment made even the hundreds of flowers in the flower park lose their color, while also causing Zhou Yuan's heart to beat a little faster.
She faintly smiled and said, "So understanding."
Zhou Yuan also smiled. Soon after, he said, "But you may still only drink a bottle a day."
Yaoyao's smile was withdrawn as she scowled at him.
However, Zhou Yuan did not concede. After all, interest was interest and should not be without control. Cang Yuan had mentioned that Yaoyao was unable to utilise Genesis Qi. Thus too much excessive drinking would harm her body.
Yaoyao could only grind her teeth when she saw that Zhou Yuan was unwilling yield, but she could ultimately only give him a vicious glare.
"Since you've studied Genesis Runes before, you should naturally understand what is most important, right?" Yaoyao put out the embers of rage in her heart as she spoke in a flat voice.
"The spirit." Replied Zhou Yuan.
Yaoyao nodded as she slowly said, "Then do you know of how the different levels of Spirit are classified?"
"There are four levels to the Spirit, The Illusory stage, the Corporeal stage, the Transformation stage and the Godroamer."
"Only those who possess powerful Spirits will be able to draw high tier Genesis Runes. Your Spirit talent is not bad, but it is not even at the Illusory stage." A young girl's airy voice echoed in the stone pavilion. Sunlight sprinkled down on her fair and pretty face, making her appear exceptionally attractive.
"The Spirit is originally formless and only by continuously tempering it will one by able to allow the formless Spirit to gain a form. This first stage with a form is called the illusory form, also known as the Illusory stage."
"There are two ways to strengthen the Spirit. One is to wait for one's strength to rise and the Spirit will follow suit and strengthen as well. However, this method is rather slow and there is an upper limit to how strong the Spirit will grow. The second way is to practice a Spirit tempering method. However, there are such techniques are very rare in this world and only a couple of the powerful factions possess them."
At this point, Yaoyao glanced at Zhou Yuan before continuing, "The 'Primal Chaos Godly Polishing Visualisation Method' that grandpa Hei imparted to you is an extremely high grade Spirit tempering method. However, great courage to conquer great terror is needed to practice this method, something that you will eventually come to know when you practice it."
"Given the current level of your Spirit, you will not be able to draw grade 1 Genesis Runes. I advise you to start early on your practice of the 'Primal Chaos Godly Polishing Visualisation Method' and raise the level of your Spirit to the Illusory stage. When your Spirit steps into the Illusory stage, I will teach you grade 1 Genesis Runes."
Zhou Yuan nodded. He had long intended to try out the Primal Chaos Godly Polishing Visualisation Method. After taking a deep breath, he sat down cross-legged on the stone stool and slowly closed his eyes.
Darkness descended as Zhou Yuan's heartbeat gradually slowed, allowing his mind to enter a state of absolute calm.
Dong! Dong!
The chirping and wind from the outside world stealthily faded. Only the sound of a beating heart echoed in the darkness.
Within the darkness, Zhou Yuan urged his Spirit to sense the brand that had been passed to him by Cang Yuan, the brand that contained the 'Primal Chaos Godly Polishing Visualisation Method'.
As Zhou Yuan continued to reach out, a slowly spinning glimmer of light suddenly appeared within the darkness. Its depths was immeasurable, as if it hid something terrifying.
However, while Zhou Yuan's Spirit was hesitating, a powerful suction force suddenly exploded from the glimmer of light and sucked Zhou Yuan's Spirit inside.
A momentarily wave of dizziness washed over Zhou Yuan as he felt his surroundings begin to change. Darkness receded as a formless void took its place. The primal chaos here had devoured time, space and everything else, making it appear as if time had gone back to the place before everything had started.
Zhou Yuan's formless Spirit stood within this vast nothingness as a feeling of insignificance overwhelmed him.
Rumble!
While Zhou Yuan's Spirit gazed upon this endless expanse of primal chaos, a loud sound suddenly resounded from within it. Zhou Yuan's Spirit looked towards the sound and a split second later, a shuddering-like feeling madly surged over, causing his Spirit to shiver uncontrollably.
It was because he had seen an incomparably colossal shadow slowly appear. The shadow was akin to a black hole that endlessly devoured everything.
However, it was not a black hole but a giant grindstone that seemed without end.
The giant grindstone was mottled and covered all over by the scars of time. The dark splotches decorating it looked as if they were the remnant traces of the blood of pulverised gods and devils.
Rumble!
The giant grindstone loomed within the void as it slowly rotated. It could grind anything down into nothingness.
Zhou Yuan's Spirit stood before the giant grindstone like an insignificant grain of sand. It was at this very moment that a mysterious piece of information flowed into his mind.
It was the cultivation instructions for the 'Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method'.
"The divine grindstone was born within the primal chaos, a single turn capable of annihilating gods and devils..."
"Visualise the divine grindstone and feel it grind with the Spirit as your anchor..."
"Nine rotations, every rotation a new realm..."
Zhou Yuan's Spirit faintly trembled. It was at this very moment that he finally understood why Yaoyao had said that the will to overcome great terror was needed to learn the 'Primal Chaos Godly Polishing Visualisation Method'. Uncontrollable terror would swallow the Spirit of anyone who stood in an endless expanse before the world-destroying divine grindstone...
Zhou Yuan's Spirit shook as he stared at the divine grindstone within the primal chaos. Just standing here required a great amount of courage. Let alone the fact that one needed to cast one's Spirit onto the grindstone and be grinded by it...
If Zhou Yuan did not have such great mental fortitude, he would have long turned around and run for his life.
"If I die then so be it!"
Amidst his endless trembling, Zhou Yuan was ultimately able to maintain a sliver of rationality. He fiercely gritted his teeth and drifted towards the divine grindstone, directly landing upon its infinite mass.
Boom!
The instant Zhou Yuan's Spirit landed on the titanic grindstone, he could only watch helplessly as a shadow loomed towards him. Terror and pain swiftly exploded from his Spirit.
In the short span of several breaths, Zhou Yuan's Spirit turned into nothingness under the grinding of the divine grindstone.
Something faintly trembled within the primal chaos as an invisible ripple converged to a single spot. It was Zhou Yuan's Spirit. If a Spirit had a face, Zhou Yuan's would be deathly pale, eyes overflowing with terror.
In that very moment from before, the feeling of being destroyed was just too real.
Yet although he had been scared witless, between being pulverised into nothingness and the subsequent reconstruction had seemed to make his Spirit become an eensy bit more coporeal.
"What an insane Spirit tempering method!"
Zhou Yuan's heart shuddered. Anyone with a little less mettle would have long been destroyed by fear. Once fear of the divine grindstone left its mark in one's heart, Cang Yuan's primal chaos divine grindstone brand would fade and the 'Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method' would fail.
"This Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method is to continuously cast one's Spirit onto the divine grindstone. Amidst the millions and millions of times of being obliterated into nothingness, the endless destruction and reconstruction will allow one to undergo a metamorphosis and grow stronger..."
"According to the instructions, there are nine rotations to this Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method, and every rotation a new realm. This so-called nine rotations refer to the divine grindstone completing a full round nine times. As long as the Spirit is able to persevere till an entire round is complete, it will undergo a single transformation."
Zhou Yuan looked towards the divine grindstone within the primal chaos. It was split into an upper layer and a lower layer, while a vertical faint dark-gold line could be seen joining these two layers as if it was a scale of sorts.
As the divine grindstone rotated, the upper part of the golden line would move. When it once again returned to its original position and joined with the bottom part, an entire round would be completed.
However, Zhou Yuan's Spirit had only managed to endure for several breaths before being destroyed. Looks like it would not be easy to persist till an entire rotation was complete.
"The Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method is indeed extraordinary, a single attempt has made my Spirit a tiny bit stronger. As expected of the Spirit tempering method big sis Yaoyao praised as one of the highest ranked."
Zhou Yuan breathed in deeply in an effort to suppress the fear he had towards the primal chaos divine grindstone. With a clench of his teeth, his Spirit flew forward again and landed on the slowly rotating mottled divine grindstone.
Boom!
As the divine grindstone turned, Zhou Yuan's Spirit was once again pulverised into nothingness.
An invisible ripple appeared and Zhou Yuan's Spirit reformed once more. His Spirit violently shuddered, but he was evidently still able to control his emotions. A long while later, he gritted his teeth again and cast himself towards the divine grindstone.
Boom!
In the vast expense of primal chaos, the divine grindstone turned again and again, completely obliterating the speck of dust that was cast into it over and over.
Each time it was destroyed, the continuously reconstructed Spirit gradually started slowly turn from incomporeal to corporeal.
The eighty eighth time.
Zhou Yuan finally stopped after his Spirit was destroyed and reforged for the eighty eighth time. He could feel intense tiredness and pain gushing out from within his Spirit.
This allowed him to know that he had finally reached his limit today. If he forced himself any further, it would instead do more harm than good.
Although his Spirit was exhausted, Zhou Yuan's heart was overflowing with happiness. After over eighty times of being destroyed, his originally formless Spirit had now taken on an illusory color.
The Illusory stage!
When the Spirit turned from formless to illusory, it meant that he had finally reached the Illusory stage!
"A down right awesome visualisation method." Zhou Yuan praised with a sigh. The very first training session had allowed his Spirit to reach the doorstep of the Illusory stage. Although he understood that this was partly because his Spirit's foundations were pretty solid, it was still enough for him to realise how extraordinary the visualisation method was."
In the stone pavilion, Zhou Yuan's tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Although his face was as white as sheet, the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden.
"I've reached the Illusory stage!"
Yaoyao was a little taken aback by Zhou Yuan's words as she doubtfully asked, "So fast? How many times did you endure the divine grindstone?"
"Eighty eight times."
Yaoyao's eyes narrowed a little as a peculiar look flashed within them. Ordinary people were only able to endure a dozen or so times on their first attempt. Yet Zhou Yuan had endured eighty eight times, a far from ordinary result.
"As expected of the one who once possessed the sacred dragon destiny. Compared to your wounded body, your Spirit does not seem to have suffered any damage." Yaoyao softly praised before continuing, "Your Spirit is still too weak. When you recover, I will teach you a grade 1 Genesis Rune."
She stood up carrying Tuntun as she glanced at the mottled black brush hanging at Zhou Yuan's waist. "You need to properly nourish the Heavenly Yuan Brush given to you by grandpa Hei and light the first rune as quickly as possible."
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and retrieved the Heavenly Yuan Brush hanging at his waist. It nimbly twirled in his hand as he smiled and nodded his head.
Cang Yuan had said that Genesis Beast Spirits could be used to recover the Heavenly Yuan Brush's spirituality. This was not difficult for him. His status as the prince of Great Zhou allowed him to easily obtain several Genesis Beast Spirits.
Zhou Yuan really looked forward to the transformation after lighting the first rune. After all, he was very interested to find out exactly how this foot-long Heavenly Yuan Brush would change for it to become a Genesis Weapon...
