Innate Internal Scripture Chart

In the haze, Zhou Qing sensed the existence of his Martial Soul within the darkness. That Blood Circulation System formed an exceptionally clear image, directly appearing in his mind.

What kind of scene was that?

The three-dimensional diagram resembled a seated human figure, yet the organs of the human body had been replaced by various natural objects, people, and tools.

At the very bottom was a surging expanse of rivers and seas;

Above it lay shores and land, where a boy and a girl stood atop a three-wheeled cart;

Next came something resembling a cauldron, blazing with roaring flames. Above it was a chaotic sphere formed by four interconnected yin-yang Taiji symbols, spinning rapidly;

To the left of this sphere, a farmer wielded a whip to drive a green ox plowing the fields. Higher up was land covered in lush green trees, where a woman used a spinning wheel to weave cloth. The cloth wound its way up along a path on the left, reaching the very top and intertwining with clouds and rosy mists.

Above this "Weaving Maid" was a rotating mass of qi, and above it stood a child, using his hand to carve stars into the void.

Further up stood a twelve-story pagoda. A stream of air pierced through its base from the upper right side of the qi mass, rising straight upward.

At the very top seemed to be a world of its own. On the left were two broken rainbows, faintly connected. Below them, a blue-eyed monk raised both hands high, as though supporting the world above. Higher up, mountains surrounded the area, clouds and mist coiled about, and an old Daoist sat cross-legged in meditation, with something to his right.

Looking further to the right, there was a path with twenty-six sections, stretching upward.

Iron Ox Plows Fields to Plant Gold, Stone-Carving Child Threads Through.

A Grain of Millet Hides the World, Half a Cauldron Boils Mountains and Rivers.

White-Haired Old Man with Eyebrows Touching Ground, Blue-Eyed Foreign Monk Holding Up the Sky.

Should you comprehend this mystery, Beyond This Mystery, There Is No Other Mystery.

Within the boundless chaos, a majestic voice seemed to resound, engraving itself into Zhou Qing's mind.

At that moment, the Martial Soul, Blood Circulation System, also emerged and fused with the white mass of qi at the center. Its blood vessels linked together this incomparably strange diagram of a human world, while the blood filled the entire world with incomparable vitality.

I seem to have seen this in my previous life. Is this the "Internal Scripture Chart"?

After the vision faded, Zhou Qing contemplated the cultivation technique within his mind. Comparing it with the meridians and acupoints throughout the human body, he discovered that this technique actually encompassed the entirety of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. It even included many meridians and acupoints that the Mysterious Heaven Skill did not involve when circulating Soul Power.

Overall, however, this technique also required passing through the Three Passes and Nine Apertures.

The first three passes were the upper, middle, and lower three great dantians.

In the Internal Scripture Chart, they were respectively the Ancestral Aperture between the eyes—White-Haired Old Man with Eyebrows Touching Ground—the mass of qi beneath Stone-Carving Child Threads Through, and the sphere formed by the four great Taiji diagrams.

The latter three passes were the Weilu Pass, Jiaji Pass, and Yuzhen Pass.

They were the three checkpoints along the path representing the human spine in the Internal Scripture Chart. They were located respectively between the lumbar vertebrae parallel to the Lower Dantian, between the shoulder blades, and between the occipital bones at the back of the head, opposite and level with the Upper Dantian.

The middle three passes were also known as the middle three apertures: the Yin Aperture, Yang Aperture, and Central Palace Aperture.

The Yin Aperture, also known as the "Sea Bottom," was located between the two yin regions at the crotch. It was the key to unifying form and force within "emptiness."

The Yang Aperture, also called the "Spirit Terrace," lay between the Baihui Acupoint and the Fontanelle Acupoint atop the head. It was the key to unifying qi and strength within "spirit."

The Central Palace Aperture, also called the "Niwan Palace," was located between the Upper Dantian and the Yuzhen Pass. It occupied the third point along the vertical line above and below the Yang Aperture, and was the key to unifying "intent" and "spirit" within "void."

These nine apertures were distributed across the front, back, upper, lower, and center of the human body, forming the pattern of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams and containing the principles of Taiji yin and yang.

At that moment, Zhou Qing connected with his Martial Soul. The meridians throughout his body all opened, qi coursed through his entire body, and Soul Power passed through the Three Passes and Nine Apertures, causing a series of firecracker-like explosions to erupt from his limbs and bones.

Tang San was left dumbfounded. He secretly sighed, When I cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, I'm limited by the fact that this world requires Soul Rings to advance to the next level. My Internal Energy—or rather, Soul Power—is insufficient, making it difficult to circulate through other meridians. Right now, I can only complete the Lesser Zhou Circulation through the Ren and Du Meridians. Yet Zhou Qing only connected with his Martial Soul once, and all his meridians opened at once. He even passed through every acupoint in his body. This is truly unbelievable!

The human body's meridians were inherently open. So-called opening them meant allowing the cultivated Internal Energy and Soul Power to flow through those meridians, thereby increasing circulatory routes beyond the Ren and Du Meridians and completing the Great Zhou Circulation.

Without question, the Soul Power cultivated through one Great Zhou Circulation was far greater than that cultivated through a Lesser Zhou Circulation, and the benefits gained by the body were also far greater.

Tang San had heard in his previous life of masters who had all their meridians open from birth. He had never expected such a person to exist in this world as well—Zhou Qing was the proof.

Moreover, it was an effect brought about by his Martial Soul!

Sure enough! As long as people in this world possessed a good Martial Soul, it was equivalent to possessing an incomparably powerful cultivation technique. Perhaps they did not understand the principles behind it. At the beginning of cultivation, their Spiritual Power might even be too weak and their perception too hazy to obtain the full contents of their technique, possibly causing them to circulate Soul Power through the wrong meridians. Yet without doubt, as long as Soul Masters in this world had good Martial Souls, they were not much slower than me on the path of Soul Power cultivation. Some possessors of powerful Martial Souls might even cultivate far faster than I do!

At this point, Tang San was certain that the Mysterious Heaven Skill's only advantage in this world lay in its foundational theory.

As for why the Soul Masters of this world had not formed similar theories...

Tang San felt that it was probably because Martial Souls were simply too convenient. They solved most of the issues that required careful thought during cultivation. Even defensive methods did not need to be deliberately cultivated; one only needed to obtain a Soul Ring to gain skills. Under such circumstances, how many people would be willing to create their own Soul Skills?

"How was it? What kind of cultivation technique did your Martial Soul give you? It actually allowed you to open all the meridians in your body directly!" The moment Zhou Qing opened his eyes, Tang San asked impatiently.

"A very powerful cultivation technique." Zhou Qing was not stingy. He took out pen and paper and began drawing. Before long, a human-world Internal Scripture Chart appeared before Tang San.

However, Zhou Qing replaced figures steeped in Chinese style, such as White-Haired Old Man with Eyebrows Touching Ground, Blue-Eyed Foreign Monk Holding Up the Sky, Cowherd, and Weaving Maid, with several stick figures, lest his secret as a Transmigrator be exposed as well.

He just did not know whether Tang San recognized this "Internal Scripture Chart."

Tang San truly did not.

However, the Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated was a Daoist Cultivation Technique and also involved the three great dantians. Naturally, he could tell that this was a method similar to Daoist cultivation. He could find corresponding concepts for all the various images within the relevant Daoist terminology.

Just from looking at this "Internal Scripture Chart," he understood that it was definitely a cultivation technique even more complex than the Mysterious Heaven Skill. It was just a pity—

He could not cultivate it himself.

Tang San even suspected that without the support of a corresponding Martial Soul, such a complex cultivation technique, involving the exceptionally intricate blood vessels of the human body, was simply not something an ordinary human could cultivate!

In other words, without Zhou Qing's Blood Circulation System Martial Soul, he could not cultivate it at all... The main reason was that he simply did not have the mental capacity for it right now.

Once his cultivation improved in the future and he reached the level of a Titled Douluo, he estimated that he would have sufficient mental capacity. But by then, he would surely have cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to a much deeper level, making it impossible for him to switch to specializing in another cultivation technique.

Thus, for him, this technique could not be cultivated in the early stages, and could not be cultivated in the later stages either. Mainly because there would be no need to cultivate it any longer.

In the end, Tang San closed his eyes and sighed. "Martial Souls truly are miraculous!"
