Improving the Nine Revolutions Cultivation Technique

Late at night.

A long and condensed breath sounded in Chu Nan and Dong Fang's dormitory.

Chu Nan sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to concentrate. As he breathed, wisps of Internal Breath in his dantian continuously flowed into his meridians. After circulating through all the meridians in his body, they flowed out again and entered his meridians.

After repeating this for nine times, this trace of Internal Breath that was clearly much thicker was finally absorbed into his meridians again.

This was the internal cultivation method that Chu Nan had started cultivating since he was four years old—the Nine Revolutions Cultivation Technique.

This Nine Revolutions Cultivation Technique was created by a martial arts genius from the Earth Federation more than 400 years ago. This cultivation method was divided into nine levels, and each successive level had far greater power than the previous.

It was said that after cultivating to the ninth level, it might even be comparable to the Exterminating Heart Technique unique to the royal family of the Declan Empire that was famous in the galaxy.

Unfortunately, even the martial arts genius who created this cultivation method had only reached the seventh level. However, relying on the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Technique, this martial arts genius had already become a Star-Grade Martial Artist whose name shook the Milky Way.

Before this martial arts prodigy died, he had completely publicized this cultivation method through the Earth's Federation network. According to his last wish, he hoped that there would be a martial arts prodigy who could surpass him in the future and cultivate this cultivation method to the eighth or even ninth level.

Unfortunately, more than 400 years had passed. There were countless martial artists who cultivated this cultivation method in the Earth Federation, but the strongest person had only reached the sixth level. He had not even reached the seventh level, let alone the eighth and ninth levels.

At first, there were many martial artists who continuously tried. After a long time, this internal cultivation method was gradually labeled by most martial artists as trash. Very few martial artists would cultivate it anymore.

Why did Chu Nan cultivate the Nine Revolutions Technique?

In fact, this was only because of a squabble when he was young.

When he chose this cultivation method, many of his companions scoffed at it. At that time, Chu Nan was very unwilling to accept their mockery and decisively chose it.

However, the truth was that it had been 13 years since he started cultivating this cultivation method, but he had only just cultivated to the second level.

In fact, Chu Nan's martial arts talent was not bad. However, he had always insisted on cultivating this Nine Revolutions Technique, causing his progress to be extremely slow. This was why he was much worse than ordinary students.

Chu Nan's personality was extremely stubborn. Although he was mocked by many people, he had always persisted and did not want to learn other cultivation methods.

Moreover, this was not without benefits. Although he had only cultivated to the second level, causing his Internal Breath to grow extremely slowly, the thirteen years of persistence had made his foundation extremely solid, and the toughness of his Internal Breath far exceeded ordinary martial artists.

Every night, when it was quiet, Chu Nan would cultivate the Nine Revolutions Technique.

Other than special circumstances like last night, Chu Nan had never stopped.

A trace of Internal Breath emerged from his lower abdomen and transformed into a thin warm current that flowed through all the meridians in his body. In the end, it entered his dantian and circled around before transforming into a trace of Internal Breath…

After a few cycles, Chu Nan suddenly stopped and frowned as he pondered.

When his Internal Breath was circulating in his meridians just now, he was surprised to discover that he could obtain the corresponding accurate numbers for all aspects of his body.

For example, after circulating his Internal Breath for a cycle, he could clearly tell that the strength of this Internal Breath was 0.036473% higher than when it came out of his dantian. This represented the effect of circulating it for a cycle.

What was even more exaggerated was that he could even know every change in this trace of Internal Breath when it flowed through his meridians.

In other words, he could clearly tell which meridian his Internal Breath had strengthened the most.

This, in fact, was the core of a cultivation method!

After figuring this out, Chu Nan felt excited.

Since he could precisely grasp the situation when Internal Breath flowed in his body, did this mean that he could completely combine his meridians and physical condition to improve this cultivation method?

At the thought of this, Chu Nan's heart started to beat faster.

Improving the cultivation method? This was something that only those rare martial arts geniuses could do!

Of course, this was also an extremely dangerous action. If one was not careful, it might cause their meridians to be messed up. In the best case, they would be crippled, and in the worst case, they would die!

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Nan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes again.

If he could not obtain a breakthrough in his Internal Breath, then no matter how outstanding his martial techniques were or how powerful his combat awareness was, he would still be stuck at the Overlord Body Realm.

For the sake of breaking through, it was worth taking some risks!

A trace of Internal Breath was born in his dantian again. However, this time, Chu Nan was not in a hurry to control it to flow along the meridians that had flowed through every cultivation session for the past 13 years. Instead, he changed to another meridian that was connected to his dantian.

"An increase of 0.003691%? If I go through that meridian just now, the increase should be 0.008734%. It seems that this one won't do."

This trace of Internal Breath circulated through different meridians and returned to his dantian. In the end, the number Chu Nan obtained was 0.031474%. In other words, the effect was not as good as before.

Chu Nan did not lose heart. His mind calmed down and he circulated his Internal Breath again.

This time, it was a new meridian.

"Increase by 0.002731%. It's even worse than the previous one…"

"Increase by 0.005736%. It's still not enough…"

"Increase…"

...

Pew!

Chu Nan's body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, when he was experimenting with the last meridian, the moment his Internal Breath entered it, it caused his blood qi to surge and his meridians were almost messed up.

"It seems that the original meridian was the most effective." Chu Nan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and confirmed the result of the first meridian's flow test.

After calming down and adjusting his breathing, Chu Nan continued his experiment.

This time, he started from the second meridian.

This time, he was delighted to discover that after changing his Internal Breath to another meridian, the increase in his Internal Breath was slightly stronger than before.

Although it had only increased slightly, Chu Nan knew very well that if he accumulated such an increment every cycle, the final effect would be extremely obvious!

In his excitement, Chu Nan continued to test the third meridian.

No.

No.

Pew!

No.

No…

...

He had failed countless times and vomited blood countless times. There was even one time when Chu Nan's meridians were messed up and his body nearly exploded.

However, even so, every time Chu Nan adjusted his breathing, he would immediately start experimenting again.

After an unknown period of time, Chu Nan finally finished testing the last meridian.

Compared to the meridians that Chu Nan had flowed through when he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Technique in the past 13 years, the modifications he made this time were not much. He had only modified less than 10% of the meridians.

From this point, the senior who created this Nine Revolutions Technique was indeed a martial arts genius. Even if Chu Nan could perfectly master all the relevant data, including his body and internal breath, he could only make such a small change.

However, this change was extremely obvious to Chu Nan.

When Chu Nan condensed another trace of Internal Breath and circulated it through his modified meridians for a cycle, he discovered that the increase in his Internal Breath had reached 0.136485%!

Compared to the previous 0.036473%, it was actually more than three times higher!
