He ordered seven flying swords to take to the air to patrol and keep watch, and then Lu Li opened the manual to read it.
The Six Meridian Divine Sword requires the practice of "Sitting Forget Blood Change" to cultivate, which has high requirements and its content is obscure and difficult to understand.
They started with classical Chinese rhymes, like "Concentrate your spirit and activate your true energy, regulate your breath to the ten points."
Fortunately, each page includes annotations in plain language, explaining the principles of the martial art.
[Using the meridians as "cannon barrels," firing "cannonballs" formed by the entanglement of Internal Breath and mind]
[Ordinary artillery shells are powered by gunpowder combustion, while the power of the Six Meridian Divine Sword comes from—acupoints.]
"Acupoints?"
The cultivation of the Blood Exchange realm is closely related to "acupoints"! Lu Li quickly read on carefully:
[Acupoints are functional nodes located along the meridians, where nerves and blood vessels converge. Massaging these points can help strengthen the body, even for ordinary people.]
[Martial artists use Internal Breath energy to refine their bodies, which can further stimulate beneficial mutations. This is also the main cultivation method of the Blood Exchange realm.]
"A benign mutation... that makes sense."
Lu Li was watching with great interest, but as he continued reading, the explanation of how to execute the moves started to feel a little off...
[Acupoints are also the places in the human body with the highest bioelectric potential energy.]
[By refining the "acupoints" with Internal Breath and activating and strengthening them, the organ can generate "bioelectric pulses," thereby turning the meridians into "magnetic tracks."]
[Mind and Internal Breath are also different forms of bioelectricity]
[By utilizing the force of a magnetic field on an electric current, one can propel one's mind and Internal Breath at several times the speed of sound.]
[Lightning-fast and unstoppable, this is the first level of Divine Art]
Upon seeing this, Lu Li looked puzzled. "This is... Electromagnetic Cannon?"
The magnetic rails and the force of a magnetic field on an electric current mentioned in the book... are clearly Electromagnetic Cannon.
"And this is only the first level?"
Continuing to turn the pages, the book reaches its end, with only a brief introduction to the second layer remaining:
[Mind and Internal Breath, accelerating to half the speed of light, unleashing thunderous force, utterly devastating]
"This is... a particle weapon!"
Upon seeing this description, Lu Li roughly knew what it was.
This is also a weapon that countries Blue Star are striving to develop in order to intercept and destroy "intercontinental Ballistic Missile".
Fan Chengxun's move of blowing up the helicopter should be the "beggar's version" of the second level of the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
"The power of cultivation in another world at its peak would likely be considerable."
After a moment of reflection, Lu Li noticed a line of small print at the end of the manual— Xu Shou's annotation.
It turns out that these easy-to-understand vernacular texts were all translated by this person.
On my first trip to the Jiu Shan Sect, I heard several people from the Xiantian realm mention this person; he seemed to be a very talented scientist.
To be able to translate profound and complex knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way truly demonstrates considerable skill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having noted this person down, Lu Li began to focus on his current cultivation—using his Internal Breath to refine his "acupoints".
The Six Meridian Divine Sword technique can be performed through the six meridians of the hand (three Yin and three Yang meridians).
Lu Li planned to first try the "Zhongchong Sword" activated by the "Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian".
This meridian only has 9 acupoints, making it easier to practice.
The process of refining acupoints is no different from the previous process of refining bone marrow and spinal cord; both emphasize "just the right amount."
The force applied should not be too great to avoid damage; nor should it be too little, lest the refining effect be lost.
The "Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian" extends from the chest to the middle finger.
Lu Li unleashed his Internal Breath, stimulating and refining it starting from the "Tianchi" acupoint on his right chest.
With the near-cheating [Internal Vision] at play, and the "spiritual mechanism" helping to activate all cellular functions, it was completed in less than half an hour.
Aside from feeling a bit better at breathing, Lu Li didn't feel anything else, so he continued to refine the next spot, the "Tianquan" acupoint located in his armpit.
Internal Vision and spiritual insight made what should have been a tedious and arduous practice somewhat boring.
Not only is it fast, but the spiritual energy also stimulates the body to generate a continuous Internal Breath, making cultivation feel like it's divinely aided.
Lu Li refined the acupoints along the entire meridian, one after another.
After half a day, with the "Zhongchong acupoint" on the middle finger having been cleansed, the task was finally completed.
At this moment, Lu Li could clearly feel that his right arm was different.
He punched the wall hard, and it produced a loud "boom" that shattered the air and punched a hole in the brick wall!
Lu Li stared blankly at his fist, realizing that he had become a tough guy who could withstand bullets with his bare hands and punch through walls.
He shook his head to come to his senses, and nodded in satisfaction:
"The refinement of the nine acupoints triggered a qualitative change, greatly strengthening the muscles, bones, and meridians of my right arm, resulting in a dramatic increase in explosive power! Refining the acupoints truly can significantly enhance physical fitness!"
Next, we'll have to try the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
According to the annotation of that "Xu Shou", the first step is to circulate Internal Breath and infuse it into the nine acupoints of the "Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian".
Similarly, within the same meridian, one uses mental focus to entangle and compress Internal Breath, shaping it into a cannonball.
Finally, manipulate the nine acupoints to release electrical pulse fluctuations in a regular manner, thus transforming the meridians into a stable closed-loop magnetic track.
Meridians are natural energy channels, making them perfect for this purpose.
In an instant, the shell accelerated along the acupoints in the meridians, like a maglev train, and was suddenly blasted out from the "Zhongchong" acupoint on the middle finger.
With a loud bang, a pale blue lightsaber pierced through the wall at Mach, shattering a bookshelf before dissipating.
"Its power is about the same as a 20mm machine gun. No wonder it requires a blood transfusion to maintain its physical condition; ordinary meridians really can't serve as a cannon barrel."
Lu Li shook his arms to relieve the soreness and numbness, and continued to summarize:
"After all, it's not a real Electromagnetic Cannon; its kinetic energy decays too much, so its range is only three to five hundred meters."
"But the Six Meridian Divine Sword can unleash all six swords simultaneously, sweeping away opponents like Gatling Gun."
"Huge energy consumption, extremely powerful burst damage, invincible among its peers!"
Lu Li gave this unique skill a very high rating, and its greatest advantage is not its power!
Just then, the two girls heard the commotion and came over.
Lu Li handed the manual to them, instructing them, "Study this carefully."
The two women flipped through it and Xiao Cha immediately gasped. "A unique skill that combines fighting and training!"
Simple killing techniques are not very valuable because they require a lot of energy and Internal Breath strength to practice.
But the Six Meridian Divine Sword is different!
Cultivating at the Blood Exchange realm also requires refining the acupoints, so it's a two-way process that can be done simultaneously.
Especially since it's so powerful! It can further strengthen your meridians!
The two women quickly realized the value of the secret manual. Xiao Cha carefully put it into her bosom and said:
"You learned it in such a short time?"
"I chose the easiest meridian, which only has 9 acupoints."
Lu Li clicked his tongue and said, "But the human body has a total of 720 acupoints, including various fatal points, and the acupoints on the head... this is still a long way to go."
Xiao Cha nodded and added:
"After cleansing the acupoints, you still need to open the bridge between heaven and earth; one wrong move and your head will explode."
"Cultivation is extremely difficult."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "I'll go check how much the Spiritual Vein have recovered."
"Hey... we checked when we came out, and nothing has changed."
"Ah?"
