|---|---|
| Name | Guidance Technique (导引术) 34 |
| Alias(es) | Guiding Art; Wu Ming calls his combined Xingyi stances the Xingyi Guiding Art 37 |
| Occupation/Role | Cultivation methods that improve the body’s capacity to absorb Cosmic Energy or the efficiency of Spiritual Force cultivation 34 49 |
| First Appearance | Discussed as a possible aid to Spirit Reader cultivation 21; first identified in practice through the Three-Body Stance 34 |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Three-Body Stance | 34 | Wu Ming identifies the stance as a Guidance Technique with an approximately twofold effect. After practicing it, he absorbs Cosmic Energy for over an hour rather than five or six minutes; his strength rises by 107 kilograms. |
| Expanded Xingyi stance practice | 37 | Adding the Hunyuan and Dragon-Surrendering Stances raises Wu Ming’s absorption limit from roughly twice normal to about 2.6 times. He names the combined stance practice the Xingyi Guiding Art. |
| Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula support | 40 | Sealing 30% of his pores raises the effective guidance boost to 3.3 times. After further mastery, Wu Ming’s Guidance Technique reaches a fivefold effect, with daily strength gains exceeding 260 kilograms. |
| Spiritual Guidance Technique discovered | 48 49 | Following microscopic observation and mental exhaustion, Wu Ming finds that his Spiritual Force training efficiency has tripled, though he initially cannot establish the precise cause. |
| Microscopic Guidance Technique revised | 76 | Wu Ming develops a safer version that avoids overdrawing mental strength and teaches it to Ruan Qingzhu. It supports Spiritual Force, Force of Will Amplitude, and Hidden Strength training together. |
Background / History
Wu Ming initially finds that absorbing Cosmic Energy without proper guidance is slow: over eight days, both his physical strength and Psychic Power rise by less than 100 kilograms. He looks to Internal Martial Arts for a way to improve Genetic Energy cultivation 21 26.
At Jia Qingshan’s martial arts hall, Wu Ming notices that Three-Body Stance practice extends the time his cells can absorb energy before saturation. He distinguishes this increased cellular “appetite” from a simple increase in absorption speed, then tests additional Xingyi stances and combines their effects 34 37.
Wu Ming later pursues a separate technique for Spirit Readers, whose Cosmic Energy absorption through the brain had been inefficient. After discovering a threefold improvement in his own training, he eventually revises the method into the safer Microscopic Guidance Technique 21 49 76.
Abilities & Skills
Physical cultivation guidance
- Xingyi stance work increases how much Cosmic Energy Wu Ming’s cells can absorb before becoming saturated 34 37.
- The Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula further strengthens the effect by sealing pores and acupoints; Wu Ming retains the Baihui acupoint as a pressure-release outlet while practicing it 40.
- Wu Ming credits advanced Guidance Techniques with allowing his Genetic Energy cultivation to overtake his previously stronger Spiritual Force progress 41.
Spiritual cultivation guidance
- Wu Ming’s initial Spiritual Guidance Technique triples training efficiency without shortening the time needed to convert Spiritual Force 49.
- The revised Microscopic Guidance Technique lets Ruan Qingzhu train Hidden Strength and Force of Will Amplitude alongside Spiritual Force, without the original method’s dangerous mental overdraw 76.
