Background / History
The Great Dao Sign-in System awarded the technique to Lin Xuan immediately after his transmigration to the foot of Buzhou Mountain. It entered his sea of consciousness as profound mantras, diagrams, Dao rhythms, and an artistic conception directed toward the origin of power 1 4.
Its general outline describes nine successive revolutions: refining Essence into Qi, Qi into Spirit, Spirit into Void, Void into Dao; breaking laws through strength; achieving sainthood through the physical body; simulating Pangu; and ultimately attaining Hunyuan 4. The System calls it the foremost body-refining technique of the Primordial Era and states that it was a secret transmission before Hongjun's sermon at Zixiao Palace 4.
Lin Xuan's early practice is agonizing. Violent Innate Spiritual Energy enters like burning needles through his pores and penetrates his muscles, blood vessels, and bones, but the refined energy steadily strengthens his minute tissues 4. Buzhou Mountain's escalating Pangu pressure and dense spiritual energy accelerate this tempering, forcing him to circulate the technique simply to continue climbing 5 6.
After being rescued by the Houtu Tribe, Lin Xuan finds that Earth Spirit Paste, Hundred Herb Soup, Earth Qi, and the settlement's Pangu legacy are unusually compatible with the technique. They reduce the pain of cultivation, assist his recovery, and allow him to stabilize the First Revolution 7 10 16. At Pangu Hall's projection, Earth Essence and Pangu's legacy flow into him with almost no pain, while Pangu's Sky-Opening Imprint greatly deepens his understanding of the technique 12.
Appearance
The technique has no physical form. Within Lin Xuan's sea of consciousness, it appears as vast, smoke-like streams of information containing ancient mantras, diagrams, Dao rhythms, and a conception of primordial power 1 4.
- Its activation can produce a restrained bronze luster beneath Lin Xuan's skin 8 15.
- Its circulation manifests through the tempering of muscles, bones, blood vessels, acupoints, bloodline, and even cells 4.
- It carries a Dao rhyme associated with Pangu, which becomes especially responsive around Pangu's legacy and descendants 12 15.
Abilities & Skills
Nine-Revolution Body Refinement
The technique refines the physical body through nine progressive revolutions, following a path toward strength-based Dao attainment and physical sainthood 1 4.
- Strengthens muscle fibers, bone density, and minute bodily tissues through absorbed and refined spiritual energy 4 5.
- Develops Lin Xuan's physical potential rather than merely increasing magical power 4.
- Grants a dense, durable physique suited to close combat and body-tempering practice 7 8.
- Its First Revolution is associated with Building the Immortal Foundation; the Second Revolution is identified as Muscle and Marrow Cleansing 7 40.
Pangu-Source Resonance
As a direct lineage technique of Pangu, it is particularly compatible with Pangu pressure, Earth Essence, Pangu legacy, and the Witch Tribe's earth-based healing resources 1 7 12.
- Buzhou Mountain's pressure functions as a tempering force and can accelerate cultivation 5 8.
- Pangu Hall's projection allows Earth Essence and Pangu legacy to enter Lin Xuan's body with almost no cultivation pain 12.
- Pangu's Sky-Opening Imprint clarifies formerly obscure portions of the technique and enhances Lin Xuan's comprehension of its Dao rhyme 12.
- Under Kuafu's trial, the technique enables Lin Xuan to endure immense earth-like pressure and triggers a response from the Sky-Opening Imprint 15.
Physical Resilience and Recovery
The technique supports Lin Xuan's recovery from injuries and his ability to withstand harsh environmental forces 7 10.
- Combined with Witch Tribe medicine, it helps heal broken bones, internal injuries, and damaged organs over several days 7 10.
- It counteracts lingering Pangu pressure during Lin Xuan's recuperation 10.
- Its solid bodily foundation allows Lin Xuan to endure the spatial strain of repeated uses of Shrink Ground into Inches 21.
- It helps offset a portion of the overwhelming pressure exerted by powerful cultivators at Zixiao Palace 41.
Combat Foundation
Though principally an internal body-refinement method, the technique provides condensed strength, agility, and a resilient frame for Lin Xuan's practical combat 7 21.
- Lin Xuan combines its strengthened physique with techniques learned through sparring with Kuafu and other Witch Tribe warriors 7 17.
- It lets him employ precise force application rather than relying only on raw strength 7 13 21.
- It is sufficient to help him exploit the Fierce Beast Zhen's injured forelimb while fighting for survival, though it does not eliminate the disparity between them 8.
- It supports rapid movement through hazardous terrain and enables Lin Xuan to endure Buzhou Mountain's gale-like spiritual erosion 20.
Yin–Yang Harmonization
The Moon Laurel Spirit Branch's Taiyin-derived Yin essence complements the technique's extremely Yang and rigid body-refinement nature 18 19.
- The Yin essence acts as a harmonizer and refiner rather than conflicting with Lin Xuan's physical cultivation 19.
- It makes his First Revolution foundation more stable and solid 19.
- It helps bring him close to First Revolution perfection before his ascent to Buzhou Mountain's peak 19 20.
Limitations
- The introductory cultivation process is intensely painful, with violent spiritual energy feeling like red-hot needles piercing the body 4.
- Progress is initially slow despite the technique's exceptional quality 4.
- Lin Xuan must rely on external conditions—such as Pangu pressure, pure spiritual energy, earth-based medicine, spirit stones, and spirit plants—to cultivate efficiently 5 7 8 19.
- Possessing the technique does not make Lin Xuan equal to naturally powerful Witch Tribe warriors or high-level Primordial beings 7 41.
- By Chapter 40, Lin Xuan has only reached the threshold of the Second Revolution 40.
Relationships
- Lin Xuan / Xuanyuanzi — current practitioner. The technique is one of his chief means of survival, recovery, body tempering, and combat growth 1 4 7.
- Great Dao Sign-in System — granted the technique as part of the Novice Gift Pack and identifies it as a Pangu-lineage, top-tier body-refining art 1 4.
- Great God Pangu — the technique is described as Pangu's direct lineage, simulating his heaven-opening power and pursuing strength-based Dao attainment 1 4.
- Houtu Tribe — its Earth Essence, healing medicine, ancestral land, and Pangu legacy substantially improve Lin Xuan's cultivation efficiency 7 12 16.
- Kuafu and Houyi — their sparring and practical knowledge of force application help Lin Xuan turn the technique's internal strength into more effective combat ability 7 13 17.
Story Role / Major Arcs
- Buzhou Mountain survival — Gives Lin Xuan a viable cultivation path after his arrival in the Primordial Era; its painful practice steadily builds the strength he needs to survive beasts and mountain pressure 1 4 6.
- Houtu Tribe integration — The technique's Pangu affinity helps establish Lin Xuan's connection with the tribe, while its body-refinement focus lets him exchange insights with Witch Tribe warriors 7 12 16.
- Eastward journey — A perfected First Revolution supports Lin Xuan's ascent of Buzhou Mountain, use of Shrink Ground into Inches, and battles during his travels 20 21.
- Jie Sect reform era — Even while focused on organizational and doctrinal reforms, Lin Xuan continues cultivating; special sign-in rewards repair latent foundation issues and bring him to the threshold of the Second Revolution 38 40.
- Zixiao Palace sermon — The technique automatically responds to the distant pressure of the Three Pure Ones and later helps Lin Xuan withstand the scrutiny of the gathered Primordial powers 21 41.
