The only body part that still had Qi flowing through it here was his hands. And the single needle lying in front of him was enough for him to block the Qi in both of his hands.
Ye Tian Yun stared at the long needle with his eyebrows slightly creased in a frown.�
In his opinion, the needle which was hardest to put in place was this one, not the ones on the heart.
In the case of the meridians on the heart, it was hard not because there was a single meridian, but because there were a lot of them, this increased the chances of creating a mistake and putting the life at risk.
However, when it was the case of hands, there was only a single meridian, but the main problem was that he had to use this one needle to block meridian on both of his hands.
And if this was not worrying enough, the position of the meridian was also at quite a unique place.
The meridian was in between his index and middle finger.
This meant he had to put the needle in the right place, but the troublesome part was that he was not able to hold it properly at this position.
Also, since a single needle was going to be used to block the meridian of both hands, it meant that the needle was pointed from both of its ends.
Ye Tian Yun blinked his eyes as he stared at the needle. Then he let out a deep breath. This was the last needle. Gathering his concentration on the final piece of needle, he slowly pressed it in between the index and middle fingers of his left hand.
After holding it tightly in between those two fingers, he then let go of the needle from his other hand. Next, he put the index and middle fingers of that hand on the other end of the needle.
Now the needle was balanced between the index and middle fingers of both hands.
And slowly, Ye Tian Yun pressured his hands, and in the next instant, the needle had pierced through the skin between the fingers, on both of his hands.
Ye Tian Yun flinched at the sensation of acute pain. He could barely control his hands from trembling as the needles passed through the flesh and soon were pressing on the meridians.
After a few seconds, Ye Tian Yun's hands become numb. This meant the meridians of his both hands were now successfully blocked, similar to the rest of his body meridians.�
And just like earlier instances, his hands too began to bulge and bloat like a balloon. However, he didn't feel any pain this time, even though the adrenaline rush had almost entirely died out.
Within a few minutes, his hands returned back to normal, and now, Ye Tian Yun had successfully become a mortal with no cultivation.
He remained leaning with his back on the wall of the hall as he waited for his body to stabilize.
Now that he had temporarily crippled himself, he needed to wait for the body to adapt and remain steady without the presence of Qi.
Ye Tian Yun stayed still as he thought about the next steps that he needed to follow.
He did this acupuncture so that he could follow the method to Cultivate Sword in the presence of Chaos Qi and stabilize his Sword Domain.
For this, first, he needed to cripple his body and stop the flow of Qi temporarily. This would help him to put a new Qi through his body, the Chaos Qi, without getting it mixed with the normal Qi.
Even though the meridians through which both of Qi flow are different, there are certain intersections, like the heart, where these two kinds of Qi become mixed with each other.
And after getting mixed, both of the Qi treat each other as impurities, which makes the Qi flow unstable because of the reaction due to them mixing for the first time.
However, there were still some problems that needed to be addressed when using this method. For example, how was it possible for the Chaos Qi to flow through his body if there were going to be intersections between the normal Qi and Chaos Qi meridians? And we know that normal Qi meridians are now blocked, so that also meant that Chaos Qi was going to face trouble in its flow, especially when flowing in the heart.
And at the heart region, the meridians of both Qi's are not just intersection, but, in fact, they become a common meridian, and the first needle that Ye Tian Yun had put in, was actually one of such intersections, that is, the common meridian for both Qi.
This problem was also the main reason why Chaos Qi just couldn't be cultivated by anyone.�
However, Ye Tian Yun didn't need to worry about this - he was not going to cultivate Chaos Qi, but rather, he made himself temporarily crippled so that he could work on his sword cultivation and Sword Domain.
He just needed a slight flow of Chaos Qi through his meridians, and then he would start practicing by releasing his Sword Intent and stabilize his Sword Domain.
Before doing all this, he needed to make sure that his body was now getting accustomed to the absence of Qi flow. And for that, he only needed the numbness throughout his body to leave.
Since this method of acupuncture gave him the ability to remove the temporary blockage over Qi at his will, he now just needed to focus on his sword cultivation. As soon as he reached a level where he could say that his Sword Domain was stable enough for him not to go berserk and crazy, he could then reopen his meridians and focus on increasing his cultivation realm.
Soon as Ye Tian Yun was guessing how much time it would require him to stabilize his Sword Domain, his legs suddenly twitched.
This made him put a smile on his face because now, he had finally become a mortal.
