Greater Celestial Circuit Lotus Platform Body-Forging Method!
The moment the White Ape Lord's corpse was thrown into the Fourth Equipment Slot.
Yang Xiao then felt a strange fluctuation surging within his body.
It was an indescribable sense of harmony, as if the last missing piece of the puzzle had finally been put back in place.
The Lotus Platform in the dantian circulated on its own within the body, drawing out countless strands of Spiritual Power as fine as gossamer, which flowed through the meridians to all parts of the body.
Yang Xiao closed his eyes and focused his mind, letting his consciousness sink into his body.
After the corpse of the White Ape Lord was put into the "Lotus Platform Mystic Body Method", two new points were added to the original 258 acupoints of the diagram: one at the center of the eyebrows on the central axis of the human body, and the other at the center of the spine.
These are two extremely dangerous locations. Opening Apertures between the eyebrows will cause a large amount of Spiritual Power to gather. If it fails, it will explode, with a power no less than being hit by a Spiritual Power attack in the head.
The central part of the spine is also quite dangerous; the impact of a failed Apertures opening is enough to break the spine, and the person would probably be crippled.
It now seems there's a reason why some Apertures haven't been discovered.
Even with the help of Aperture Opening techniques, how many people would dare to try them casually?
Yang Xiao pursed his lips and silently watched the Lotus Platform Mystic Body Method gradually evolve.
A moment later, a notification appeared.
[Analysis complete.]

Yang Xiao moved it directly from the Fourth Equipment Slot to the first three.
With each breath, the 258 Apertures on his body seemed to light up as if they had been ignited.
"Call!"
Yang Xiao gasped for breath, his physical body swelling wildly as his Apertures circulated. At this moment, the pressure of a perfected Aperture-Opening Realm overflowed uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, an Apertures in the center of the spine lit up, as a massive amount of Spiritual Power surged in.
Boom!
The first Apertures has been successfully opened!
After a few breaths, guided by the Greater Celestial Circuit Lotus Platform Body-Forging Method, an Apertures appeared between the eyebrows.
With the activation of Apertures throughout the body and the cleansing of Spiritual Power, spiritual Spiritual Qi from all directions surged in rapidly, instantly turning into liquid droplets and transforming into fragrant saliva.
Yang Xiao also felt the influx of a large amount of Spiritual Qi from the outside world. His 360 acupoints were faintly forming a perfect cycle, which was now running involuntarily.
At that very moment, the Apertures the eyebrows was fully opened!
Boom!
Another deafening bang echoed in my mind!
At this moment, all 360 Apertures are activated and lit!
Yang Xiao could clearly feel his foundation being strengthened at an incredible speed.
The opening of each Apertures was accompanied by a surge of Spiritual Power, and the feeling of that power surging within his body made him almost want to roar to the sky.
But he held back.
Before he could think it through, an unprecedented change surged within him.
All 360 Apertures trembled simultaneously, and countless blood-red veins extended from the Apertures, intertwining and forming a dense net that enveloped his entire body.
Those are not real flesh and blood vessels, but traces left by the circulation of Spiritual Power, naturally formed Spiritual Power channels after the three hundred and sixty acupoints are connected throughout the body.
These passages are interconnected and resonate with each other, subtly transforming his body into a Flesh Furnace.
A scorching heat surged from deep within his body, engulfing him in a burning sensation.
Yang Xiao could feel that his efficiency in refining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was like that of a whale swallowing everything in its path!
The surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, rushing wildly into his body, where it was devoured, refined, and transformed into his own Spiritual Power by that Flesh Furnace with extremely high efficiency.
A deep rumble emanated from his body, like the breath of an ancient behemoth, audible even to the surrounding environment.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath, trying to suppress this strange phenomenon.
But he soon discovered that this was no easy task.
With so many Apertures, the echoes generated when Spiritual Power circulated were too intense. Even if he tried to suppress them, it was difficult to completely eliminate the roaring sound.
Ordinary martial artists at the Aperture-Opening Realm have only 108 acupoints, and the noise they make when circulating Spiritual Power is not significant.
He has 360 acupoints in his body, and each flow of Spiritual Power is like a surging river, producing a sound that can be perceived by the outside world.
Yang Xiao frowned slightly; this was indeed a bit troublesome.
However, the commotion caused by this body's operation is too great; if a Mysterious Core Realm cultivator were nearby, it would be difficult to conceal.
"Good."
A voice came from the side.
Yang Xiao turned his head, startled to find that Shen Jingxian had appeared beside him without his noticing.
The Deputy General stationed in Azure Mist City was looking at him with great interest, his eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and complexity.
"To be able to kill a Demon who has just entered the Mysterious Core Realm on your own, you are only the second Aperture-Opening Realm martial artist I have ever seen to do so."
Yang Xiao stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and remained calm.
"The White Ape Lord was already injured; I merely got lucky."
"Injured?" Shen Jingxian smiled. "Grazed in the chest by my arrow. For a Mysterious Core Realm Demon, that would heal in the blink of an eye."
"No need to be modest, you have the right to be proud."
He paused, his gaze falling on Yang Xiao, as if looking through his skin and flesh into his body.
"And..."
Shen Jingxian's gaze deepened.
"I can sense that the fluctuations in the Spiritual Power within you are quite unusual."
Yang Xiao didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.
Shen Jingxian continued, "That booming sound is the resonance produced when a large number of Apertures are activated simultaneously, and... the number of Apertures far exceeds that of ordinary acupoints."
He looked directly into Yang Xiao's eyes, his tone resolute:
"The Aperture Opening techniques you cultivate should be more than just the 108 passed down by the Demon Suppression Division."
Yang Xiao neither admitted nor denied it.
Shen Jingxian didn't mind Yang Xiao's avoidance, but his tone became serious, "The more Apertures, the stronger one's foundation, which is certainly a good thing."
"But you should know that the pressure you will face when you Core Condensation in the future will be even greater."
Yang Xiao's brows twitched slightly, somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't Pei Xuance tell you anything?" Shen Jingxian smiled wryly at Yang Xiao's appearance. "Ordinary Core Condensation techniques can't suppress someone with your foundation."
"The sign of successfully Core Condensation the Mysterious Core Realm is that all the Apertures in the body are connected to the Mystic Core. However, the more Apertures there are, the stronger the repulsive force between them will be, and the more difficult the process of merging the core will be."
"For your Core Condensation technique, you should choose the strongest one within the department."
"If the method of Core Condensation Method is not up to par, the day the elixir is formed will be the day the foundation collapses."
These words were extremely harsh.
After listening, Yang Xiao remained silent for a moment.
He had never thought about this question before.
In his view, the more Apertures has, the stronger one's foundation, and naturally, the greater one's strength.
However, they never imagined that when it came time to Core Condensation, these Apertures might actually become a hidden danger.
The pressure required to combine hundreds of Apertures into a single Mystic Core is unimaginable.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Shen Jingxian, saying:
"Thank you for informing me, Deputy General."
Shen Jingxian waved his hand, his expression returning to its previous calm.
"I'm just reminding you that even if I don't say anything, someone else will eventually find out."
