Nine Palaces Eight Trigram Furnace
At this point, Bu Yi and the other Seven Sisters also settled down in Holy Soul Village.
Zhou Qing's house was naturally too small to accommodate so many people.
However, there were quite a few empty rooms at the Workers and Peasants Council, so Zhou Qing discussed with Old Jack and the other village chiefs and made room for the seven of them.
How could Old Jack and the others possibly disagree?
Not to mention, the Seven Sisters, including Bu Yi, were much kinder than any Soul Master they had ever met before, and they would call them "Grandpa".
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina also returned to their original cultivation and work lives.
While Zhou Qing was guiding, arranging, and improving the affairs of the Workers and Peasants Council and teaching villagers and children more profound knowledge, he also Tang San to repair the Artificial Soul Palace in his spare time, so that he could personally experience the "Soul Palace" built based on the human body's meridians.
Or rather—
A bronze furnace!
Tang San didn't hesitate either. Based on Zhou Qing's physical condition, he spent half a month recreating an Artificial Soul Palace.
The Artificial Soul Palace that Bu Yi used was actually a bit too large, so the one that Tang San created was only a little over one meter in diameter.
Zhou Qing sat cross-legged naturally, his feet touching the bottom sides, his back straight, and the top of his head touching the top of his head. It could be described as: reaching the highest heavens and the deepest hells!
This day.
Zhou Qing adjusted his mindset and entered the Artificial Soul Palace. He initially felt stuffy and hot, but quickly calmed down, circulated the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, and activated his Martial Soul to sense the changes within.
Perhaps because Zhou Qing was in the Artificial Soul Palace, the Innate Internal Scripture Chart and the Blood Circulation System resonated with each other. The Three Passes and Nine Apertures vibrated, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians trembled, and the Twelve Primary Meridians pulsed. His Spiritual Power, Soul Power, Qi and Blood were all activated.
Outside world.
The Artificial Soul Palace shimmered with black and white light.
Internal.
Zhou Qing's body was enveloped in wisps of cloud-like energy. He first inhaled through his mouth and nose, and the energy descended below his navel, to the Lower Dantian. It then passed through the Weilu Pass and along the Du Meridian to the coccyx, then ascended through the Jiaji Pass, then to the Yuzhen Pass, and finally to the Baihui point on the top of his head. The Baihui entered the Minwan, which is the Upper Dantian. Afterward, it traveled down his face to his tongue, where it connected with the Ren Meridian, and then down to the middle Middle Dantian his chest. Finally, it returned to the Lower Dantian and followed the same path.
In this way, a Lesser Zhou Circulation is completed.
As Zhou Qing's breathing became more even, and he no longer breathed through his mouth and nose, the hairs on his body stood on end and his pores opened and closed.
It doesn't breathe through its mouth and nose, but through its skin!
"Innate Fetal Respiration!"
Tang San was horrified.
The book "Baopuzi: Shizhi" states. "Those who attain Fetal Respiration can breathe without using their mouth and nose, as if they were in the womb."
The Mysterious Heaven Skill is Daoist Cultivation Technique. Tang San has his own understanding of the Daoism Qi Cultivation of cultivating Qi. When the Mysterious Heaven Skill is mastered, the Three Flowers Converging on the Crown can also have the effect of Fetal Respiration.
But to reach the Innate Fetal Respiration at the Soul Grandmaster level, like Zhou Qing, is simply unheard of!
What is Fetal Respiration?
Romantina, Xiao Wu, and Bu Yi were all hearing about this concept for the first time.
"The fetus also breathes when it is in the mother's body, which is called Fetal Respiration. However, at that time, the fetus does not need to use its mouth and nose as breathing organs."
Tang San said, "And now, Qing Ge is cultivating in the Artificial Soul Palace, using his skin as a breathing organ, just like he has mastered the innate Fetal Respiration of an infant!"
Bu Yi pondered, "Then, was my condition like this half a month ago in the Artificial Soul Palace?"
"No the same."
Tang San denied it.
What kind of Fetal Respiration is Bu Yi?
The hair on his body remained still, and his pores did not open or close. At most, he had grasped the threshold of "Internal Respiration," which meant that he temporarily allowed his Soul Power to replace breathing through his mouth and nose, circulating within his body to maintain a balance of breath.
And what about Fetal Respiration?
That is to directly absorb and exhale the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy through the pores of the whole body. This absorption and exhalation has great benefits. Muscle and Marrow Cleansing is just child's play. It can also Soul Cleansing.
As Tang San had said, Zhou Qing did indeed enjoy the benefits of Muscle and Marrow Cleansing and the Soul Cleansing. Moreover, the filth around his body was actively annihilated with each breath, turning into pure primordial Primordial Energy and entering the great primordial Primordial Energy cycle of heaven and earth.
However, the key to this cultivation was finding the Soul Palace, and Zhou Qing did indeed sense its existence—an invisible and intangible power surrounding the meridian circulation, constructing a huge Human Body Cauldron using human meridians and acupoints.
The concept of Martial Soul, while not entirely accurate, actually exists within the human body. It resides within a vast "cauldron" built upon the body's meridian circulation.
Considering the cultivation method of the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, Zhou Qing was blessed with good fortune. He released his Spiritual Power, sensed the patterns on the Artificial Soul Palace, and combined it with the "cauldron" to operate his Soul Power in another way.
Daoism uses the Weaving Maid as a metaphor for the kidneys, which are true Yin and correspond to the Kan trigram; and the Cowherd as a metaphor for the heart, which is true Yang and corresponds to the Li trigram. When Yin and Yang are combined, they become a true couple. When Yin and Yang are combined, they produce the elixir. Therefore, there is also the metaphor of Kan and Li intercourse, where the essence of men and women is combined to produce the elixir.
These two items are found in the Innate Internal Scripture Chart!
Today, Zhou Qing uses Kan and Li as the basis, transfers his Soul Power to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and combines it with the nine orifices of the Three Passes. Based on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the human body, he jointly evolves the Eight Trigrams: Qian, Gen, Zhen, Kan, Li, Xun, Kun, and Dui.
The moment the Eight Trigrams was formed, Zhou Qing felt his Soul Power surge and his Qi and Blood churn throughout his body!
Although his aura had become much stronger, and he even felt that he could kill Soul King with a single punch, his Soul Power was running wild and he was quite uncomfortable, as if his whole body was about to disintegrate!
The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique?
Zhou Qing never expected that he would create such a method that could improve strength in a short period of time by sheer chance.
However, this technique clearly takes Side Gate Left Path in its cultivation.
Zhou Qing also realized that the reason why his aura was so violent was because the Human Body Eight Trigram Furnace had not settled in the Central Palace, causing the eight meridians to run wild. As a result, the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui were not settled, causing the body to be out of balance.
Where should the Central Palace be located?
Zhou Qing already had an idea:
Heart and kidneys.
Central Palace was established, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians indeed stopped trembling, and Soul Power began to circulate within them—
It can go with the flow or against it; the choice is just a matter of a single thought!
When moving in the right direction, one feels light and healthy, and one's spirit is also sharp!
When going against the current, the Eight Trigrams Furnace forges the Martial Soul!
However, Zhou Qing discovered that although he had established the Central Palace with the heart and kidneys, and used the Cowherd as Yang and the Weaving Maid as Yin to transform Yin and Yang energies for his own use, he was still lacking in controlling the Eight Trigrams.
Taiji generates Two Modes, Two Modes generate the Four Symbols, Four Symbols generate the Eight Trigrams.
Now, Zhou Qing is cultivating his Lower Dantian, and the Four Symbols of earth, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire have not yet been completed. He has already used the Artificial Soul Palace to deduce the Eight Trigrams, which naturally leads him to feel that this method is not perfect.
However, by constructing the Eight Trigrams furnace using the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, one can also deduce the Four Symbols, although it will take longer.
Click!
After finishing his cultivation, Zhou Qing stretched, instinctively got up, and then—
The Artificial Soul Palace could no longer hold on and exploded, turning into scattered sand that splashed onto Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and the Seven Sisters, including Bu Yi.
Tang San: "..."
How can this be fixed?
It's easier to rebuild.
