Great Bamboo Peak's back mountain.
"Buyi."
"Seventh... he won't go into qi deviation, will he?"
Su Ru asked anxiously.
Could his meridians withstand absorbing qi like this?
"Look at his face."
Tian Buyi pointed below.
Su Ru focused her gaze.
Ye Xuan was at the center of the spiritual-qi storm, his face ruddy and his expression peaceful. How could he look even remotely pained?
In fact...
There was even the faintest hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He was enjoying it.
He was enjoying the infusion of this power.
"Monster."
After holding it in for a long while, Tian Buyi squeezed the word out through his teeth.
But his beady eyes were alight with pride and delight that he couldn't hide.
No matter how strange this cultivation technique was.
This was his, Tian Buyi's, disciple!
Great Bamboo Peak was truly going to produce a dragon this time!
Ye Xuan wasn't completely unaware of everything happening around him.
But right now, he simply couldn't stop.
While in his state of sudden insight, his deductions about the Heavenly Cycle Qi Cultivation Technique had reached a new height.
Qi Transformation to Spirit.
What was spirit?
Spirit was intent, soul, and sovereign will.
He used to think Qi Transformation to Spirit simply meant strengthening one's spiritual sense.
Wrong!
Completely wrong!
True Qi Transformation to Spirit meant harmonizing one's vital essence, qi, and spirit with the intent of the stars in the heavenly cycle.
Each acupoint lit up within the body marked the awakening of a "spirit."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as if a ceaseless series of explosions resounded within his body.
Those were the sounds of acupoint barriers being shattered.
If he didn't suppress them, the sounds would carry like thunder.
Ye Xuan guided the immense spiritual qi.
