The instant White Ape Lord's corpse entered the Fourth Equipment Slot...
Yang Xiao felt a strange fluctuation surge within him.
It was an indescribable sense of perfect alignment, as though the final piece of a long-incomplete puzzle had finally fallen into place.
The lotus platform in his dantian began revolving on its own, drawing out countless gossamer threads of spiritual power that flowed through his meridians to every part of his body.
Yang Xiao closed his eyes and focused, sinking his consciousness inward.
After White Ape Lord's corpse was invested into the Lotus Platform Mystic Body Method, two new points appeared on its original diagram of 258 apertures: one between the eyebrows on the body's central axis, the other at the center of the spine.
Both were extremely dangerous locations. Opening an aperture between the eyebrows would gather an immense amount of spiritual power there. Failure would cause an explosion no less powerful than taking a spiritual-power blast directly inside the skull.
The center of the spine was equally perilous. The shock of a failed aperture opening could blast the spine apart, likely crippling him for life.
It seemed there was a reason some aperture locations had never been opened.
Even with an aperture-opening method to guide them, how many people would dare try so casually?
Yang Xiao pressed his lips together and silently watched the Lotus Platform Mystic Body Method evolve.
A moment later, notifications appeared.
