Heart Meridian Gives Birth to Acupoint, False Eater's First Solution

What did this result signify?

It meant that Yang An's previous judgment might have been flawed!

Before this, Yang An had always believed that since it was about purification and eliminating costs, the external object would naturally be affected by the purification.

But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

The content recorded on the scroll remained unchanged. This meant that even if someone took this scroll and cultivated according to the method described, they would still have to bear the corresponding cost.

The only reason Yang An didn't have to bear the cost was that his purification ability had erased the cost that the cultivation method required him to pay.

He himself had been changed, not the item he touched.

So, it looked like he was the one being purified?

No!

Yang An had a vague feeling that something was wrong, that it wasn't quite like that, but he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.

This was because he hadn't felt any changes in himself after using this special purification ability.

Since neither had changed, where was the real change?

Was there some invisible medium between him and these items?

The more Yang An thought about it, the more confused he became. He had intended to test if an item, after purification, could be used by others. Instead, he found himself in a state of perplexity.

After thinking for a while and not coming up with any answers, Yang An simply stopped thinking about it, pushing all these messy thoughts aside for the moment.

In any case, given the current situation, he didn't have to bear any costs after using his purification ability, which was a completely beneficial ability.

As long as this ability allowed him to become stronger faster, there was no need to overthink it.

The immediate priority was to increase his strength to survive better; future matters could be considered later.

When he possessed enough power that no one could threaten him, he could study it however he pleased.

Soon, after preparing himself mentally, Yang An officially began his first attempt at cultivation.

According to the cultivation method, after passing the Resonance Stage, one could begin cultivating in the False Eater Realm, starting with the first and simplest step.

This step involved choosing a spell, specifically a Fate Dao Technique, as the first solution for the early stage of the False Eater Realm.

Then, using the Fate Dao Technique as the core, one would condense Mana and finally integrate it into oneself, forming a unique acupoint!

After that, with each advancement in realm, this acupoint would serve as the foundation for continuously integrating new Fate Dao Techniques.

Once one successfully entered the early stage of the False Eater Realm, the Fate Dao Technique would bind with the self, forming a skill similar to a Natal Divine Ability. This would allow for direct release through Mana, achieving effortless casting and even more terrifying power.

This method of cultivation was entirely different from what Yang An understood.

Novels often mentioned cultivators using their Dantian or Qi Sea as their foundation, but that seemed impossible here. He wasn't sure if it was due to the specific cultivation method or if the fundamental cultivation systems of the two worlds were entirely different.

This world also lacked the concept of Spirit Qi. Instead, it involved condensing and absorbing an invisible force from the outside, which formed Mana within the body, serving as the cultivator's foundation.

For the first Fate Dao Technique, Yang An actually had no choice. Even if Old Man Fate Crane hadn't explained it beforehand, he would have only chosen the Lighting Method.

Perhaps it was due to his understanding of the Lighting Method, or perhaps because there was no longer a cost to bear. It was also possible that Yang An was exceptionally intelligent and gifted.

When Yang An began his formal cultivation attempt, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of failure, but the result exceeded his expectations.

With just one attempt, Yang An successfully converted the spell into a Fate Dao Technique. After attempting to condense Mana, he successfully formed the core acupoint.

The acupoint was located on his Heart. This meant that from this moment on, the acupoint in his Heart would become his most crucial vital point.

Originally, Yang An had intended to fix the acupoint in his Dantian.

However, after searching for a while, he found that his body had no Dantian at all. It was completely empty, just ordinary flesh and blood.

From this, Yang An deduced that the reason why the cultivation system in this world lacked the concept of Dantian and Qi Sea might be precisely because of this.

After the acupoint formed, it would autonomously begin to condense Mana, without Yang An needing to actively circulate the cultivation method. However, the speed would be significantly slower.

With the first solution of the Fate Dao Technique completed, it meant that Yang An had truly become an early-stage False Eater Realm cultivator from this moment on.

Once the acupoint was completely filled with Mana, he could proceed to integrate and condense the second solution of the Fate Dao Technique, which would then mark his advancement to the next minor realm.

Hum!

A cluster of flames suddenly appeared out of thin air in Yang An's hand, illuminating the dim stone chamber. The scorching heat caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.

Compared to the Lighting Method, which was released using blood, the flame from the Fate Dao Technique had changed from red to dark red, and the energy it contained had become even more terrifying.

This was the change that occurred when the Lighting Method became a Fate Dao Technique.

It could be directly controlled by Mana, its power became more terrifying, and it could be cast effortlessly without the need for incantations and hand seals.

In addition to releasing spells, Mana could also be used to enhance the physical body, making it stronger under the augmentation of Mana.

It was precisely because of the existence of Mana that cultivators could wield powers unimaginable to mortals.

Feeling the acupoint on his Heart absorbing and condensing Mana as if it were breathing, seemingly in sync with his Heart, the sensation was incredibly wonderful and intoxicating.

Even in the early stage of the False Eater Realm, Yang An felt an illusion of immense power. This showed that mastering greater strength was the greatest desire of every cultivator.

Having completed the first step, and with the Mana in the acupoint still needing some time to fill, Yang An began to consider his choices for subsequent Fate Dao Techniques.

Yang An had always considered himself a very timid person. If he could avoid direct confrontation with an enemy, he would never choose to engage head-on.

From this perspective, the Lighting Method, a spell that makes it difficult for demons to get close once released, truly suited his preferences.

Therefore, after understanding the cultivation method of the Mysterious Dao Solution Method, Yang An couldn't suppress a certain thought.

Just imagine, if in the future his cultivation reached a very high level, he could fuse ten or even more spells like the Lighting Method.

This kind of halo-like existence, once unleashed, as long as the range was wide enough and the stacked power was strong enough, would prevent enemies from even getting close.

Wouldn't this fundamentally achieve his preferred combat style of not engaging enemies head-on?

If one wasn't enough, then ten. If ten weren't enough, then twenty. At worst, besides the Fate Dao Technique, he could learn some other similar spells and release them all together.

Yang An could already picture that scene, his heart filled with longing.

After all, for other cultivators, mastering more spells meant bearing greater costs, but that didn't apply to him.

Cultivators in this world generally focused on being few and precise in their attack methods, not winning through sheer quantity.

But Yang An could do precisely that; he didn't need to worry about anything.

Although doing so would still present two problems.

First, his mana might not be enough to support the consumption of so many spells.

Second, what should he do if an enemy was powerful enough to get close?

Yang An pondered for a moment and decided these two problems were also easily solvable.

If his mana wasn't enough, he would find more ways to increase his mana until it was sufficient!

Anyway, he didn't have to bear any costs.

If enemies got close, he would learn more close-combat techniques to subdue them, or simply take elixirs until even if an enemy broke through his halo, they still couldn't defeat him.

Anyway, he didn't have to bear any costs.

In short, there was only one principle:

What others dared not learn, he would learn!

What others dared not practice more, he would practice more!

What others dared not take, he would take!

Win through quantity, subdue through quantity, suppress all invaders through quantity.

Anyway, he didn't have to bear any costs!

With this, the path of cultivation he should take was now crystal clear.

Yang An's heart surged with excitement. He put away the scroll and tossed it into the stomach of his Flesh-Buried Talisman. He immediately stood up from the ground and stretched.

Exit seclusion!
