With that thought,
Teng Qingshan felt a sudden surge of excitement.
The Tiger Form Divine Technique was a god-tier secret technique that could double a practitioner's physical abilities for a short time!
Although he had no Internal Force now, he did have Genetic Origin Energy, which was a level higher.
He could certainly try using Genetic Origin Energy in place of Internal Force to stimulate the body's acupoints and accelerate its evolution.
He acted as soon as the idea came to him.
Teng Qingshan immediately struck the pose required by the Tiger Form Divine Technique, following the memory of its movements.
Boom!
Teng Qingshan dropped straight down onto all fours.
Thump!
His hands curled into tiger claws and pressed against the ground.
Although he looked as if he were lying on the ground, his entire body was actually supported only by his hands and feet.
"Huff!"
"Inhale!"
He paired the movements with a special breathing technique.
Teng Qingshan's spine rose and fell like a great dragon, now surging upward, now lying in wait.
The pressure on his ten fingers traveled through each joint, quickly reaching his shoulders and even his spine.
The pressure on his feet likewise traveled, joint by joint, to his spine.
In this way, the force throughout Teng Qingshan's body flowed first from his fingers to his feet, then from his feet to his fingers.
The spine was the body's main support.
Once he had these movements down, the crucial step arrived.
"Genetic Origin Energy!"
Teng Qingshan focused his entire mind and drew on the Genetic Origin Energy hidden throughout his body. Using the special breathing technique, he made his internal organs contract and expand.
This guided the Genetic Origin Energy through his body.
He quietly sensed every change in each strand of Genetic Origin Energy.
A moment later,
Teng Qingshan's face lit up.
"It works!"
"Genetic Origin Energy really can replace Internal Force!"
After confirming that it worked, Teng Qingshan intensified his movements and breathing.
At the same time, he increased the pressure on his joints, stimulating them!
Each breath, each circulation of Genetic Origin Energy, and each transfer of energy was coordinated flawlessly.
After all, he was a Grandmaster of Xingyi Fist at the Supreme Powerhouse level.
Teng Qingshan had long amassed an abundance of experience in this.
"Huff, huff!"
The joints throughout Teng Qingshan's body trembled at high speed, producing a series of deep, resonant snores, like a tiger sleeping on the ground.
A sensation entirely different from cultivating Genetic Origin Energy washed over him.
Sore! Itchy!
Every bone in his body felt sore and itchy.
But after the soreness and itching came a wave of comfort!
From the inside out, Teng Qingshan could feel minute changes taking place in his organs, bones, tendons, skin, muscles, and everything else.
The sensation was much like the way Genetic Origin Energy strengthened his body.
But it wasn't quite the same.
This strengthening seemed more comprehensive! More profound!
Sizzle!
In moments, heat billowed from Teng Qingshan's skin, rising like a thin mist.
The sounds of his muscles, bones, and tendons grew deeper and more resonant.
In this state, the energy in Teng Qingshan's body was rapidly depleted.
His cells, which had already been "full," grew hungry again under the tremendous energy drain!
They began frantically absorbing the Genetic Origin Energy hidden within his body.
Even with a Grandmaster's mastery over his body and a Supreme Powerhouse's consciousness, a considerable amount of the Genetic Origin Energy he had refined the night before remained hidden in various parts of his body.
Now,
that stored Genetic Origin Energy came into play.
It was an early-autumn morning.
There should have been a slight chill in the air.
But at that moment, Teng Qingshan felt as if his entire body were a blazing furnace!
"This sensation..."
Feeling the deeper cells being stimulated, frantically absorbing Genetic Origin Energy as they strengthened, divided, and strengthened again,
Teng Qingshan gained an even more vivid understanding of the Tiger Form Divine Technique's wonder.
"As expected of Xingyi Fist's greatest secret technique!"
"The deepest potential of the body is burning furiously, and the body's evolution is happening far faster than I imagined!"
Half an hour later,
Teng Qingshan rose, mist curling around his body. "In just half an hour, all the unabsorbed Genetic Origin Energy was used up. My punching strength has increased by at least a thousand kilograms!"
Half an hour earlier, Teng Qingshan's punching strength had been five thousand kilograms. But after practicing the Tiger Form Divine Technique for only half an hour, it had surged by a thousand kilograms!
And that was with him having to stop early because his body's Genetic Origin Energy had run out. If he had had more stored up, the improvement could have been even greater.
"After just a little while, my cells, which had been 'full,' are hungry again. I can keep using the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method to refine Genetic Origin Energy."
Teng Qingshan ran to a natural spring in the mountains, drank his fill, and immediately returned to the pavilion. He continued using the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method to absorb Cosmic Energy and refine Genetic Origin Energy.
He sat cross-legged on a boulder.
Once he had settled into position,
Teng Qingshan's mind instantly became as still as an ancient well, and he sensed the Cosmic Energy drifting through the air.
The moment he willed it to "absorb,"
the Cosmic Energy surged toward him.
Feeling strands of cool energy enter his body and get swallowed up by his hungry cells, then converted into Genetic Origin Energy, Teng Qingshan's mind was perfectly calm.
Before long, though, Teng Qingshan felt that too little Cosmic Energy was entering his body!
Even though he had concentrated his entire mind and consciousness, the amount of Cosmic Energy he could "draw in" was still insufficient!
And soon, his cells began to feel "full" again...
"Is there some way to increase the speed and efficiency of Cosmic Energy absorption, while also making each cell able to take in more?"
Teng Qingshan couldn't help thinking.
"That's right!"
"Didn't the Tiger Form Divine Technique make the cells grow hungry faster? If they got hungry faster, wouldn't that be like increasing their appetite? And the Tiger Form Divine Technique could clearly increase the speed at which they absorbed Genetic Origin Energy, too."
"If I combine the Tiger Form Divine Technique with the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method, won't I be able to improve the efficiency of refining Cosmic Energy and increase the cells' appetite at the same time?"
With that thought,
Teng Qingshan immediately stopped meditating.
Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood.
If he perfected his method of refining Cosmic Energy, he would naturally make faster progress afterward!
He acted as soon as the thought came to him.
Teng Qingshan sat back down, assumed the Five Hearts Toward Heaven posture, and applied the energy-based acupoint stimulation used in the Tiger Form Divine Technique.
After making a series of adjustments,
Teng Qingshan spent an hour finally combining the two techniques perfectly!
Then he thought of the various god-tier secret manuals he had created in his previous life. They had been created by combining the Five Elements Fist and Twelve Forms Fist, and drawing on his understanding of the perfected Three Body Posture.
Once practiced, they had allowed him to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and convert it into Internal Force at tremendous speed.
Of these, the god-tier secret canon called the Samsara Secret Canon could be said to embody the culmination of Teng Qingshan's martial arts.
Cosmic Energy was very similar to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
With his previous experience, Teng Qingshan spent another half a day incorporating the essence of the Samsara Secret Canon.
And so he thoroughly perfected the secret technique he had just created.
At that moment,
Little Cauldron in Teng Qingshan's consciousness suddenly showed him an image.
It depicted a year later.
After a special opportunity, "Hong," the disciple he had taken on, created a similar method, greatly increasing the efficiency of his Genetic Origin Energy cultivation.
"So this secret technique is called a 'Guidance Technique'?"
"In that case, I'll call this Guidance Technique the 'Samsara Guidance Technique'!"
Teng Qingshan gave the secret technique he had just created that name.
It was also a way to commemorate his first two worlds.
