Mo Yun focused his gaze on the plus sign beside the Demon-Subduing Scripture.
* Add points! *
The instant he willed it, the Black Point count in the available points field flickered, dropping from 5 to 0.
Immediately afterward, a vast, surging torrent of memories and insights flooded Mo Yun's mind like waters bursting through a dam.
He saw himself sitting cross-legged at the foot of North Mountain, facing the morning dew and evening glow as he practiced the Inner Nurturing section of the Demon-Subduing Scripture, day after day.
Within his Dantian Sea of Qi, that newborn wisp of dark force was like a sleeping young snake, slowly stretching and growing under his guidance.
Spring gave way to autumn, cold yielded to heat.
He could clearly feel the dark force within his sea of qi gradually condensing from a slender thread into a trickling stream, then gathering from a stream into a surging river.
With every breath, dark force flowed through his meridians, scouring and tempering them.
Every inch of flesh grew tougher and denser under its nourishment.
Those obscure, profound methods, those crucial principles that would normally take years or even decades to grasp, became clear in that instant, as though an invisible hand had swept away the fog.
At the same time, the dark force within his sea of qi began resonating with the meridians throughout his body.
It was an utterly wondrous sensation, as though countless invisible threads tightly connected his dantian to his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
Dark force extended outward along those threads, tentatively striking the barriers of meridians that had yet to be opened.
So this is Middle Dark Force, the Meridian Opening realm... Understanding dawned within Mo Yun.
At the same time, the Virtual Panel automatically lit up.
His attributes quietly changed.
