Vortex Meditation Method

"I never expected the Vortex Meditation Method to be so difficult to master!"

Time continued to pass, and bead-sized drops of sweat streamed rapidly down Mu Tianchen's face as if they cost nothing.

Mu Tianchen felt as though intense pain were tearing his body apart. His entire body trembled. He had never imagined that cultivating the Vortex Meditation Method would be so agonizing.

The Vortex Meditation Method was divided into nine layers, each representing a realm. The first realm, Vortex Origin Initial Formation, condensed a gaseous vortex within the body and increased Soul Power circulation speed by thirty percent.

This realm did not seem difficult, but actually putting it into practice was incredibly troublesome.

A Soul Master's Soul Power was stored in the dantian, specifically the lower dantian, which everyone possessed. When one's Soul Power Level was not high, the Soul Power within the body existed in a gaseous state.

Although Soul Power at this stage could still nourish the entire body, be mobilized, and unleash soul skills, gaseous Soul Power was the hardest to control, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

Trying to steadily condense gaseous Soul Power into a vortex was practically an impossible task.

According to the method's description, only through repeated simulations—controlling the Soul Power within one's body to move in a vortex pattern tens of thousands of times—could it form an instinctive momentum and eventually become a gaseous vortex.

Every attempt to control his Soul Power consumed a great deal of physical and mental strength. After half an hour, he had only just completed one vortex-like circulation of Soul Power.

Yet that single circulation left him feeling as though his entire body were in unbearable pain.

"The Vortex Meditation Method truly deserves to be the Spirit Pagoda's highest-grade cultivation method, said to be something only real monsters can master."

Mu Tianchen sighed inwardly. As he controlled the Soul Power in his body to revolve in a vortex, he recalled the scene when he had chosen his meditation method.

When he had first chosen a cultivation method, Yan Qingling had given him three options.

One was an ordinary meditation method, one was a low-grade version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill created by imitating the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the last was the Vortex Meditation Method.

The first was the ordinary meditation method. Though it had the word "ordinary" in its name, it was not ordinary at all.

This ordinary meditation method of the Spirit Pagoda had been continuously refined by generations of predecessors over tens of thousands of years. It was the meditation method best suited for everyone's cultivation.

The Spirit Pagoda's meditation method cultivated about ten percent faster than the most common meditation methods on the market. That ten percent should not be underestimated.

Over time, that ten percent would become tremendously significant.

Yan Qingling's reason for having him choose the ordinary meditation method was simple: she wanted him to become familiar with Soul Power cultivation as soon as possible and get his training on the right track.

The ordinary meditation method was not difficult to cultivate. Its difficulty was not even one percent of the Vortex Meditation Method's.

As for the second choice, the low-grade Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was an utterly incomplete version of the real Mysterious Heaven Skill. The Spirit Pagoda's upper ranks had spent enormous resources to exchange for it from the Tang Sect back then.

The low-grade Mysterious Heaven Skill could also display the functions of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but its effects were several times worse than the genuine version.

Even so, many people still studied this low-grade Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Finally, there was the Vortex Meditation Method, created ten thousand years ago by Huo Yuhao, a legendary great power of the Spirit Pagoda and a peerless expert of his generation, based on the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill and his own cultivation methods.

The Vortex Meditation Method was a supreme meditation method that imitated the movement of cosmic nebulae and constructed energy vortices within one's body.

Basically, all of the Spirit Pagoda's Title Douluo-level executives, along with its most talented individuals, cultivated the Vortex Meditation Method.

Mu Tianchen had naturally chosen the Vortex Meditation Method because he was aiming to become the strongest!

If he could not become the strongest, he might as well smash his head into a block of tofu and die.

Outside, time flowed on.

Before he knew it, most of the day had passed.

Mu Tianchen endured the agony of his body being torn apart while controlling the Soul Power within him to circulate in a vortex.

After three hours of attempts, his skill at controlling his Soul Power in a vortex pattern was no longer so obscure. Though each circulation still took two or three hours to complete, everything was moving in a better direction.

"According to Sister Qingling, as long as I complete ten thousand Soul Power circulations during the first stage, I can initially condense a Soul Power vortex."

"And as the number of Soul Power circulations increases, this gaseous vortex will become more stable and more solid."

Mu Tianchen was full of confidence in himself.

Innate rank-twenty Soul Power, the powerful Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul—these were all the foundations that would allow him to become a top-tier powerhouse.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Over those seven days, Mu Tianchen rarely went out. Aside from calling his parents and three-year-old Wulin, he spent all his time cultivating.

By now, after seven days of exploration, he had completely mastered the Soul Power circulation method of the Vortex Meditation Method.

At this pace, he would be able to fully master the first layer of the Vortex Meditation Method in another three years.

In truth, before the first layer of the Vortex Meditation Method was mastered, its cultivation speed was about ten percent slower than that of the ordinary meditation method, roughly equivalent to the most common meditation methods on the market.

However, Mu Tianchen did not regret it at all.

Once he successfully cultivated the Vortex Meditation Method, he would possess the fastest Soul Power cultivation speed in the world. Other than those who relied on devouring to increase their Soul Power, he would basically be among the fastest cultivators.

Mu Tianchen was extremely happy today.

According to his teacher Leng Yaozhu and Yan Qingling, he now met the requirements to absorb two hundred-year yellow Soul Spirits, or one thousand-year purple Soul Spirit.

In other words, only eleven days had passed since he awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul, and he could finally obtain a Soul Spirit of his own and officially become a Soul Master with soul skills!

How could he not be excited?

Click—

With a sound, Mu Tianchen's door opened, and a tall figure with a face as warm as sunlight walked in.

That person was none other than Yan Qingling, who was responsible for Mu Tianchen's daily cultivation.

When she saw Mu Tianchen, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.

"Wait, do you train this desperately every day?"

Seeing the panda-like dark circles beneath Mu Tianchen's eyes, Yan Qingling was startled.

She had not expected Mu Tianchen to cultivate so desperately, pushing himself to the point where he could no longer continue every day.

Though this method of cultivation had brought him considerable improvement, in the long run, it would pose irreversible dangers to him. She had already warned this guy before, but she had not expected him to ignore her completely.

Seeing this, she immediately ran to Mu Tianchen, took out a bottle of spray, and sprayed it toward him. In an instant, mist brimming with rich energy enveloped Mu Tianchen.

As the mist was absorbed into Mu Tianchen's body, he instantly felt as though he had come back to life, his entire body filled with vigor.

"Thank you, Sister Qingling."

Feeling all this, Mu Tianchen sincerely thanked Yan Qingling. His gratitude was genuine, without the slightest hint of pretense.

Throughout this past week, Sister Qingling had been the one taking care of him, attending to every detail and leaving nothing overlooked. He was deeply moved.

Thus, this transmigrator, who had already been a twenty-five-year-old young man before transmigrating, truly acknowledged eighteen-year-old Yan Qingling as his older sister. This sister really knew how to take care of people.

Yan Qingling said irritably, "Keep tormenting yourself like this. Once the Pagoda Master finds out, she'll skin you alive!"

Mu Tianchen chuckled. "I know Sister Qingling won't tell my teacher."

His teacher, Leng Yaozhu, actually had a very good personality—gentle and intelligent. However, after serving as the Spirit Pagoda's vice pagoda master for decades, she had naturally acquired a trace of authority.

When teaching him, his teacher was clearly not as gentle as Yan Qingling.

At this moment, seeing that Mu Tianchen had recovered, Yan Qingling could only roll her eyes helplessly and say, "The Pagoda Master sent me to find you. I'm taking you to the Soul Spirit storage room to choose your Soul Spirit."

"Starting today, you can officially become a Soul Master with a Soul Spirit. So, are you excited?"

Mu Tianchen nodded gently, a smile appearing on his face. "I really am."

At that moment, a ray of golden sunlight shone in through the window. The brilliant golden light fell upon Mu Tianchen, illuminating his smile and his platinum-white hair.

At that instant, the aura of light around Mu Tianchen seemed to grow even richer.
