Spiritual Power surged around his body, battering against the Aperture Barrier.
With a soft crack, the barrier broke, and trickling Spiritual Power flowed into the newly opened spiritual aperture.
It had been exactly thirty days since Lu Ye returned from the Inner Circle, and he had finally opened two hundred and forty apertures.
He could switch cultivation techniques now.
At a thought, the Minor Heavenly Circulations flowing through his body slowly settled, and the moving Spiritual Power also began to fall silent.
Every Minor Heavenly Circulation that stagnated caused Lu Ye's cultivation to drop by one tier.
Starting from Tier Nine, he fell to Tier Eight, Tier Seven, until there was not a single circulation left among the spiritual apertures in his body.
Cultivators were very vulnerable when switching cultivation techniques, just like Lu Ye was right now. Though he had opened two hundred and forty apertures, because these spiritual apertures were not connected to one another and did not form a system, the strength Lu Ye could bring to bear was far weaker than before. If someone ambushed him at a time like this, nine times out of ten, he would be finished.
So when cultivators switched cultivation techniques, they generally chose a stable, safe place.
After checking the circulation route of the Great Sun Glazed Art one last time, Lu Ye drove his Spiritual Power, starting from the Source Spirit Aperture, and linked eighteen spiritual apertures in sequence, forming a Minor Heavenly Circulation.
His cultivation recovered to Tier One.
He urged his Spiritual Power again, starting from the Nineteenth Aperture, linking through to the 45 Apertures in sequence.
His cultivation recovered to Tier Two.
Then from the forty-sixth aperture to the seventy-second aperture, Tier Three.
From the seventy-third aperture to the one hundred and eighth aperture, Tier Four.
