Opening The Meridian's P-1

Shiva begins compilatning what he should do regarding this art, and on the usage of his Qi.

"Why don't I try to find the meridian's and then guide my Qi towards that area? Yeah, that sounds like a dangerous plan. If I just first started using Qi and I don't even understand the usages of it, then I really will die!"

Shiva knows what he should do, but doesn't know how to do it!

For example, If Shiva were to circulate his "Primal Qi" towards his weak meridian's, they will break and he will completely lose his Martial Arts Talents and turn into a cripple. He understands this cause' he's read a lot of novels and has a ton of information from the Absolute Transcendent Arts" on how to circulate his Qi.

'But... Huh? The meridian's that I need to stimulate are called the "Eight Inner Hidden Gates" instead of the "Eight Great Meridian's"!? That makes sense, I took information from the "Asura Sutra", which depicts the Eight Great Meridian's as the "Eight Inner Hidden Gates'

Shiva was confused about what he was seeing, but once he understood that he merged information and ideas from the "Asura Sutra" he calmed down.

As soon as Shiva knew where he should he guide his Qi, he began.

Shiva began pulling on his "Nature Qi" and guided it towards the first of the first of the "Eight Inner Hidden Gates", "The Gate of Healing".

This gate in located in-between the two clavicles. From the text's that he's read, The "Gate of Healing" circulates the power of blood and vitality. These two energies would gather here before converging into the brain; it was the central junction point for one's blood vitality.

'Apparently, After opening this door, not only would my power greatly rise, but my restorative ability and physical strength would greatly increase, and my body would gain the ability to constantly and autonomously absorb heaven and earth Qi; The advantages towards cultivation were obvious! Wait... isn't Ki and Qi basically the same thing!? That's right, Ki and Qi is the same type of energy, but in different forms.'

Ki is the physical side of the energy in the body, and Qi is the somewhat spiritual dose of the energy. Shiva felt that he is way too short sided and couldn't see the bigger picture.

The nature Qi began to spin wildly in circles around the gate. Then Began to rub agains t the gate like a woman rubbing one out for you. Except this is inside the body instead of outside.

'So that's why I need to clear all of my meridian's as quick as possible, my meridian's are clogged and dirty'.

He noticed that, the reason he can't push his Qi into this meridian, is because they are too shallow and dirty for him to do anything. But even so, he still persisted in his endeavor.

Even though he has an extremely adaptable body, he still needs to stimulate his potential to reach the entry level of the adaptable body.

The nature Qi began to seep into the first gate, and when he kept pushing and pushing.

Crack

Crack

Crack

Boom

Silent noises were going off in his body the moment he pushed his Qi all the way into the first gate.

"Ahhh" 

"Fuck this" With the Qi entering the first gate, also came an intense pain that he's never experienced before. His organs began to hurt and his body started to foil from under him.

Minutes later

He felt like a huge burden was lifted off of him, the feeling of strength pulsating through his body! His bones, muscles, and tendons began popping and rearranging themselves according to the gates new structure.

The feeling of his blood pumping is exhilarating! "Shua" He breathed out black, turbid air. The air hit the cave wall and made a mark in the wall "Damn! This feels great"

As he got up and stretched out, and all the adjustments his body made were now showing. Instead of the new born look in his eyes he had when he first transmigrated, is not replaced with a calm, yet slightly freighting look.

His clear red eyes had gained an experienced look in them, but he is a bit upset that its mid day and he had yet to open his other 7 Gates.

You see, back when he was Jin Kisiraki, he was a perfectionist! Everything he had and wanted had to be perfect or at least slightly perfect, But now that he didn't complete his goal for today, he is quite upset with him self.

"It's fine. I can excuse myself with this. Now that I've opened the first gate, I need to eat and rest."

He was about to get up and start searching for food in the forest when he remembered something.

'How can I be so stupid? The Universal Ring that I gained from one of my perks is right on my finger and I've yet to look into it!?'

He felt that even though he used to be an adult in his past life, this was just inexcusable!

Shiva glanced down to his right index finger and saw a black and red ring with some weird inscriptions on it and began to pour his Qi into it.

'Uh... Am I inside of the ring? Let's have a look around'. The inside of the ring was absolutely beautiful, with bright green tree's and colorful flowers at every corner.

The sky was a bright blue with a tint of orange in it, he guessed it was because of the abundance of Ki that the trees and herbs have. After what seemed like 3 hours, Shiva finally found a black and gold pagoda sitting in the middle of a small lake.

"Well. this is a nice place! Now, I need to get to the center of the island and find some food"

He leapt and landed on the pagoda shore and looked directly up. 'Woah, this thing is huge' Exclaimed Shiva in his mind. Next, he started to make his way to the entrance of the pagoda and looked up at the huge golden doors. there were Two dragons and Four Phoenixes on the Huge doors of the pagoda.

"They seem like they are alive? Are they?"

He felt like the statues were staring at him. "Well, I would expect no less from primordial beasts." he understood that, even though these beasts may technically be dead, their spirits were most definitely still alive.

When he was still thinking about how beautiful the pagoda, the doors began to slowly open

"tick"

"tick"

"tick"

The doors crept open like they were inviting him in...
