Chapter 295: Chapter 55: The Stele Preserves Shadows (Third Update)
After Lu Chunsheng left, Li Hao began to wander around in the Tianji Tower.
The dazzling array of Cultivation Techniques, sorted into various categories, gave Li Hao the feeling of browsing the Listening Rain Tower.
However, there was no scent of agarwood here as in the Listening Rain Tower, and it was cleaned even more thoroughly as if it were frequently visited.
In the sunlight streaming in from outside the tower, the dust was clearly visible, drifting over the scrolls of Cultivation Techniques.
Li Hao first explored the Qi Circulation Skills.
Searching for the Meridian Opening Skills and Qi Circulation Skills.
The layout of the Cultivation Techniques in Tianji Tower was similar to that of the Listening Rain Tower; the Peerless Techniques were all placed on the top floor, and Li Hao found seven Peerless Qi Circulation Skills and five Peerless Meridian Opening Skills.
There were only three Peerless Meridian Opening Skills recorded in the Listening Rain Tower.
Considering that Tianji Tower specializes in intelligence, it was understandable that they had such a foundation.
Li Hao included all the Techniques in his panel, and with the insight of the Sixth Stage of Control Path, once these Techniques were included, the panel immediately showed they had reached perfection.
The details of the five Meridian Opening Skills flooded into his mind.
Li Hao closed his eyes quietly, as though he had cultivated all five Peerless Meridian Opening Skills for decades, gradually integrating the insights into his memory.
Li Hao also gradually understood the meridian locations these Meridian Opening Skills could open, and which meridians they were.
There were many overlaps with the meridians of some Cultivation Techniques he had practiced before.
As more meridians were opened, the number of overlapping meridians opened by these Skills also increased.
Nevertheless, within the five Peerless Meridian Opening Skills, each had its unique route, adding seven new meridians for Li Hao!
From the original 98 meridians, now there were 105!
Only three meridians short of perfection!
“What a pity, there are too many overlaps,” Li Hao felt regretful. Each of the five Peerless Meridian Clearing Skills could open more than 50 meridians, but after mastering all of them, the overlapping only resulted in seven additional meridians.
No wonder it’s so difficult to open all the body’s meridians. The Dayu Divine Dynasty has almost no records of such feats over thousands of years.
The difficulty is too high.
Too time-consuming, cultivating another Peerless Meridian Opening Skill to perfection could take decades of hard work.
Even for a genius, it would still take eight to ten years.
Ordinary people don’t have an understanding of the Tao Realm like he does, enabling them to master skills easily with the Control Path.
Unless one relies on a long lifespan and slowly powers through, but that also requires connections and resources.
“If I could master that royal family’s Meridian Opening Skill, I should be able to complete the last three meridians!” Li Hao thought to himself.
Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking.
Practicing the royal family’s Meridian Opening Skill was a capital offense.
It was one of the fundamental secrets of the royal family, not to be trifled with.
Li Hao shook off the thought and turned to go downstairs.
On the lower floor, there were numerous High Grade Meridian Opening Skills.
Li Hao looked them over one by one, included them, and as he included more and more Meridian Opening Skills, more information flooded his mind.
Each Meridian Opening Skill added to the panel reached perfection, but unfortunately, they all overlapped with the many Meridian Opening Skills he had already mastered.
Although the routes of the different Skills were unique, the meridians they opened were not much different.
Li Hao continued to descend floor by floor.
After recording more than twenty High Grade Meridian Opening Skills, one of them finally opened up a new meridian for Li Hao.
Li Hao was somewhat delighted and continued downward.
Before long, he included three more, and among them, there was another Meridian Opening Skill that could open up another new meridian.
Now he had 107 meridians, only one meridian short.
Li Hao kept going down, having included all High Grade Meridian Opening Skills, he then looked at the Mid Grade ones, but after going through dozens of the Mid Grade skills, they were all overlapping.
Li Hao could only hope for the best and check the Low Grade skills. If there were none, then he would have to find a chance later to visit various famous schools and seek them out individually.
Just when Li Hao was not holding much hope, after including thirty-two Low Grade Meridian Opening Skills, suddenly, the information from one of them made him stupefied.
This Low Grade Meridian Opening Skill was extremely peculiar, taking an unconventional route that precisely opened the last meridian he needed.
All 108 meridians had corresponding Techniques to open them!
After his moment of stunned silence, Li Hao was overjoyed and could hardly wait to start cultivation right away.
But this was the Tianji Tower, so he restrained himself and refrained from practicing there.
Otherwise, once all meridians were connected, along with the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse, Li Hao couldn’t be sure of what kind of phenomena might occur.
His previous Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation and Divine Power states had caused considerable disturbance, and since this also involved his martial arts secrets, he preferred to keep them hidden if possible.
Swords and knives have sheaths for the very purpose of concealing the blade.
Now, with Meridian Opening Perfection, Li Hao went back to the top floor to start searching for Body Refining Skills.
In the same manner, he included and searched his way down, finding hundreds of them, with a deluge of information flooding in.
Although he had yet to practice them, Li Hao knew that many of these Techniques would refine parts of his physical body that he had previously been unable to reach.
Once he practiced them later, his Physical Strength would surely improve again.
Next were swordsmanship, boxing, and the like.
Li Hao mastered and recorded each one by one.
As he was going up and down including them, suddenly, the sound of a qin drifted down from the rooftop.
“Young General, although there are many secret scrolls, be careful not to be dazzled by them. How about I play a piece on my qin to help you calm your mind?” the voice of Lu Chunsheng reached his ears.
Though it took the form of a question, the qin music had already begun.
“…⚆_⚆?”
Li Hao: 눈_눈
You just want to play the qin for your own sake… Li Hao criticized in his mind but responded through a voice transmission, “Many thanks, Master Lu.”
Maintaining social etiquette, ☜ with finesse.
With the sound of qin music coming from the rooftop, Li Hao continued to immerse himself in the selection of secret scrolls.
Although in Li Hao’s view, Master Lu’s qin skills still needed improvement, listening to his Second Stage qin music as background music was indeed quite pleasant.
