Ti passed like a blur. Li Yun's team and Yuan had already been fighting for more than a month in the Crystal River Region, it had now been two months since the first slaughter of the three tribes.
Li Yun's team had grown smaller as the battles beca fiercer. Many Outer Sect and Inner Sect disciples had died. Even Li Yun had been injured a few tis, and Yuan, slowly but surely, began to gain a bit of fa, at least within his small team.
Eventually, even so Squad Leaders, and the General of their entire division, ca to know of him.
He beca known as the one who survived every battlefield without a single wound on his body, a cockroach that was hard to kill.
Fa brought both good and bad.
The good was obvious: he could now be promoted to a Team Leader at any ti. But Yuan refused, simply saying he wanted to continue following his brother.
The bad? Assassination attempts.
Traitors and enemy spies had begun to target him directly, aiming for the rising star who sohow always walked away unscathed.
As for the war itself, it had beco truly fierce. More disciples died with each passing day. The Blue Family had requested support from the Yang Family. Though no Bone Forging Stage cultivators had yet joined the battle, the Yang Family had still sent several low-stage cultivators to assist.
The war was becoming a battle of quality versus quantity. The Howling Wind Sect was constantly overwheld in terms of numbers, but thanks to the generals now personally taking part in the battles, things were still manageable. The enemy was suffering casualties as well.
But at this point, the war no longer mattered much to Yuan.
He had once again been granted a period of rest to focus on cultivation. Thanks to the rits he and Li Yun's team had earned, they were currently resting on a mountain located among many others, surrounded by other resting teams and a few Squad Leaders.
Yuan now stood once again before a small cave, barely large enough to fit him. But unlike the last mountain he had cultivated on, this one contained a far richer concentration of spiritual essence, so much so that it reminded him of the cultivation cave he had once used back in the sect.
Although it wasn't quite equal in quality, it was close enough to compare.
With that thought, Yuan sealed the entrance of the cave with a large stone. He had already inford Li Yun of his intent to enter seclusion. This ti, however, he wasn't the only one, Li Yun himself had also chosen to enter seclusion.
The cave had a single glowing stone embedded within the wall, casting a soft light throughout the confined space. Unlike his previous cave, he could now see clearly, but sight wasn't what mattered.
Before him lay his three bags of holding.
Each one was stuffed with pills, including several rare ones that could accelerate his breakthrough even further. Now, Yuan was ready to go all out, to push his cultivation to 100%, to finally reach the peak layer of the Blood Purification Stage.
He had more than enough pills to consu to the limit of what his body could endure each day. With this, he could hasten his progress to the next realm.
Without hesitation, Yuan took out one hundred Burning Blood Pills, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. As he exhaled, he swallowed all one hundred pills as if they were candy.
Imdiately, the familiar sensation returned, a searing warmth spreading through his body, like a high, relentless fever. But Yuan endured it, as he always did.
He began the process of letting his spiritual blood infect his normal blood, focusing every ounce of his will on the transformation.
Ti passed in a blur. To Yuan, it felt as if only an hour had gone by.
But in truth… an entire month had already passed.
But this month of cultivation had already been enough, Yuan had finally reached the peak layer of the Blood Purification Stage.
This success was largely thanks to the Spiritual Golden Heart Fruit. When he had reached 99% of his spiritual blood refinent, the final 1% had beco incredibly difficult to progress, even with pills. Yet with the help of the Golden Heart Fruit, and the Blood Will Resisting Pills, he had broken through that final barrier.
With these two precious aids, Yuan had beco a true peak-layer Blood Purification Stage cultivator and now, he felt completely different.
Yuan could now circulate his spiritual blood freely, with no resistance or interference from his body. He could halt the flow of his blood at will. He could even stop his heartbeat entirely, either to simulate death, prevent bleeding from a wound, or, if he truly wished… end his own life with but a single thought.
This was an incredibly powerful feeling of control.
But the benefits weren't only active, there were passive ones too. With the completion of the Blood Purification Stage, his lifespan had increased slightly. It wasn't much, but it mattered.
If Yuan's estimate was correct, he could now live to around 115 years, a modest five year increase, but still an important milestone on his path to immortality.
Yet even now, Yuan's gaze was already turning forward, toward the next stage of cultivation, the ridian Awakening Stage.
Unlike the Blood Purification Stage, which focused entirely on the blood, the ridian Awakening Stage focused on the body's ridians, the channels through which spiritual energy would one day flow freely.
There existed fourteen main ridians, six standard ridians, and 108 sub ridians.
To beco a ridian Awakening Stage cultivator, one had to awaken at least three sub ridians.
The main ridians were the Conception ridian, the Governing ridian, the Penetrating ridian, the Belt ridian, the Shadow ridian, the Solar ridian, the Serene ridian and the Guardian ridian
The six standard ridians were the Lung ridian, the Heart ridian, the Liver ridian, the Kidney ridian, the Spleen ridian, the Stomach ridian
The 108 sub ridians were unnad, but each one was connected to the six standard ridians. Every standard ridian was supported by eighteen sub ridians. Without fully awakening these supporting ridians, one could not properly open the corresponding standard ridian.
As for the main ridians, they were sothing else entirely.
The main ridians are not physical structures within the body, they are ethereal concepts, not tangible or visible like the standard or sub ridians.
The fourteen main ridians are rarely awakened by ordinary ridian Awakening Stage cultivators, as the process to awaken them is both ti consuming and demanding. However, despite the difficulty, it is still possible to awaken them.
To awaken a main ridian, a cultivator must perform a ritual aligned with the concept that the desired ridian represents. For example, if one wishes to awaken the Solar ridian, they must conduct a ritual dedicated to the Solar concept, invoking its essence and seeking its blessing. Only then can the ridian be awakened.
However, these rituals are not guaranteed to succeed.
If the ritual fails, or if the ridian is not fated with the cultivator, the awakening will not occur. Even so, many cultivators attempt to awaken a main ridian regardless of the resources consud. For those who succeed, the rewards are imnse, offering powerful support throughout future cultivation.
A successfully awakened main ridian provides benefits from the Bone Forging Stage all the way through to the Body Reconstruction Stage, where the cultivator first obtains an elent, a critical step in building a strong foundation for the Body Ascension Stage.
Naturally, there are many other benefits granted by awakening a main ridian, improved energy flow, enhanced body refinent, resistance to damage, and so on, but the greatest gift is undoubtedly the foundation it builds for one's eventual rise to the Spirit Part of cultivation.
With a strong main ridian awakened, the cultivator's Heavenly tribulation during their ascent will be far easier to overco and their power in the Spirit Realm vastly greater.
With all these thoughts running through Yuan's mind, he took a deep breath. Without even opening his eyes, he began his cultivation. But unlike the previous stages of his journey, he could now finally utilize the true cultivation techniques inherited from Basilisk's mories.
He had long considered two powerful techniques that focused on his Azure Basilisk Fla, one centered purely on cultivation, the other on raw offense. And now, after all this ti, he could finally begin cultivating one of them.
The technique he chose was called the Supre Spiritual Fla Foundation Cultivation Technique.
Basilisk had obtained this rare and ancient technique after waging a brutal war against the Fla Spirit Race, eventually slaughtering his way into their ancestral grounds. There, he had discovered one of their most revered and long-lost fla cultivation thods, this very technique.
The Supre Spiritual Fla Foundation Cultivation Technique was both unique and extraordinary. It could help a cultivator forge a supre fla centered body, develop a compatible fla spirit, and strengthen the soul to terrifying levels. With this single cultivation technique, one could carve their na into the world of cultivation as a true expert.
Basilisk had once considered cultivating it himself. However, he lacked the specific main ridians required for the technique's foundation and was already far along his own path with the Azure Fla Arts. Ultimately, he chose to study the technique only to refine his primary cultivation thod, never truly practicing it.
Now, Yuan would walk the path that Basilisk could not.
He slowly summoned the Azure Basilisk Fla, absorbing it into his body and guiding it inward. With precision, he inhaled the azure fla, allowing it to flow through his body, targeting and refining one of the sub ridians connected to the Heart ridian.
The Heart ridian would be the first of the six standard ridians that he needed to fully open in order to practice the Supre Spiritual Fla Foundation Cultivation Technique.
