Chapter 183: Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong

Action followed the decision immediately. After exiting his meditative state, Du Qianjue first notified Xue Linglong and Bi Ji that he was about to create a new technique. He then settled down on the shore of the Lake of Life, where the life force was richest, to begin his work.

Du Qianjue's goal was clear: to cultivate a world within his body, nurture the power of this inner world with his own strength, and then have the world's power feed back into his own. The main challenge was how to integrate the technique with the body's acupoints.

When you have a task at hand, it's easy to become engrossed and lose track of time. Half a year quickly passed in the blink of an eye. During these six months, rather than actively creating the technique, Du Qianjue and Electrolux were in a continuous phase of theorizing and experimenting.

Electrolux had some experience in creating worlds, having once initiated a half-realm of the undead. Though it wasn't a complete world, it had the basic structure of one. For Electrolux, initiating a world was easy; the challenge was in connecting that world to Du Qianjue himself.

Du Qianjue tried using his body as a seed—evolving yin and yang in his lower dantian, transforming his internal organs into the five elements, and using his limbs to stretch out heaven and earth while his spine served as the divine dragon entering the realm of immortals. But...

It was futile.

It seemed that the fundamental structure of this world rejected most paths, appearing to lock out any techniques other than Xuan Tian Gong, which assisted in cultivation.

After six months, Du Qianjue and Electrolux had virtually nothing to show for their efforts. Frustrated by the wasted time, Du Qianjue abandoned his lofty idea of evolving his own world. While creating worlds was feasible for the future, using his body to derive world power simply wasn't viable in this realm.

However, the method of condensing vital energy within acupoints was accidentally discovered by them. This method had nine stages: The first six stages involved condensing the vital energy of 360 acupoints located in the limbs, torso, and head. Each stage significantly strengthened the body. The seventh stage involved condensing the vital energy in the five core acupoints and using them to connect all 360 acupoints, forming a major circulatory cycle.

The eighth stage involved further developing other minor acupoints based on the 365 major circulatory acupoints. Theoretically, the eighth stage had no limit because the exact number of acupoints in the human body is unknown.

The ninth and theoretical stage, as estimated by Electrolux, involved saturating all acupoints with vital energy and then merging the energies from all acupoints to form a perfect and flawless body.

Du Qianjue named this elaborate method Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong—a grandiose title indeed, reflecting his ambition not to be deterred by the world's shortcomings. This technique for deeply harnessing the body's potential would remain useful even after advancing to a god-king level. According to Electrolux, reaching the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong would allow one to match Di Tian in strength.

Di Tian was a demi-god. This implied that completing the seventh revolution would elevate one's physical strength to a divine level. The power of the eighth and ninth revolutions was unknown to Electrolux, who now saw Du Qianjue as an experimental subject, waiting for him to succeed in his cultivation.

"Let's pause for now, teacher," Du Qianjue suggested, lying on the grassy shores of the Lake of Life, his bare feet dipped in the water, one hand behind his head, the other shielding his eyes from the sun, gazing through his fingers at the blue sky.

His expression was weary. The continuous trials over the half-year had left both Du Qianjue and Electrolux exhausted. In his most desperate attempt to create an inner world, Du Qianjue had even tried using his two soul cores as the foundation, hoping to forcibly create an internal space by linking the space-based properties of the soul cores. But it failed, nearly causing his soul cores to explode.

Thanks to Bi Ji healing skills and Di Tian's mastery of spatial power, they managed to stabilize Du Qianjue. After that incident, Xue Linglong gave him a thorough scolding and held him as she cried for a long time—the first time Du Qianjue had seen her cry.

Afterward, Du Qianjue no longer dared to recklessly experiment. His cautious approach meant that all his efforts remained theoretical.

"Maybe I should aim to break through to the Soul Douluo level first," Du Qianjue suggested tiredly, massaging his temples. He had reached level 80 a month ago but had been so focused on developing the technique that he hadn't had time to find a suitable soul beast to integrate a soul ring.

"Yes, let's take a break. Too intense a focus on research can hinder finding the right path. I need a good sleep," Electrolux agreed, his voice also weary. Even with the Life Jewel as a support, Electrolux 's current state was just a fragment of his former self.

After Electrolux drifted off to sleep, Du Qianjue sat up, called out loudly, "Bi Ji!"

A stream of verdant light immediately appeared beside him, and Bi Ji graceful figure blocked his view.

"Wow! No, wait... what am I thinking?" Du Qianjue inwardly chastised himself.

Unaware of his turmoil, Bi Ji looked down at him and asked, "What's up?"

"I'm planning to advance to Soul Douluo. I need a light-attribute soul beast. Bi Ji, do you know any such soul beast that's nearing its end of life?" Du Qianjue stood up and addressed her. While Di Tian was the Beast God of Star Dou, Bi Ji had much better connections.

"Let me think..." Bi Ji pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "There might be one. It's from the Light Unicorn species and specializes in healing. Would that work?"

"Healing? That's perfect! I'm actually lacking in healing abilities," Du Qianjue replied, overjoyed.

"That's settled then. Let's go together and talk to this Light Unicorn," Bi Ji nodded, her wings fluttering as she took to the sky.

Du Qianjue quickly spread his Dark Demon God Tiger Wings and followed after her.
