Chapter 133 Savage Cultivation Method
When he broke through to the third level of the Nine Revolutions Technique in the second level, Chu Nan had already tried to modify the cultivation method left behind by Su Xuansheng back then. In the end, he relied on his powerful data ability to find the most important method to increase his Internal Breath circulation and successfully broke through to the third level.
It was through that attempt that Chu Nan understood a principle.
No matter how powerful the cultivation method left behind by his predecessors was, it was not necessarily completely suitable for him.
The condition of the meridians in every martial artist was different. The increase in Internal Breath obtained from circulating the same Internal Breath cultivation method was naturally different.
This was the reason why different martial artists had different effects when cultivating the same cultivation method.
Chu Nan had previously used his data ability to modify the second and third level of the Nine Revolutions Technique to make it more suitable for him. This was why his Internal Breath could increase extremely quickly, and in a short period of time, the strength of his Internal Breath had increased from the initial-stage Overlord Body Realm to the extent that it was close to the fourth-stage Overlord Body Realm.
With these two improvements, Chu Nan was naturally more skilled in modifying the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.
However, this time, Chu Nan did not change the route of his Internal Breath as soon as he improved the second and third levels. Instead, he focused his attention on the newly opened meridians.
The greatest difference between the fourth level and the first three levels was that one had to open up seven of the main meridians and 26 of the secondary meridians. From there, one’s Internal Breath could circulate in more meridians and obtain the increase brought about by more meridians.
However, Chu Nan discovered that after his Internal Breath flowed into those newly opened meridians, it often did not increase his Internal Breath. Sometimes, it would even weaken slightly.
The reason was very simple. Because these meridians had recently been opened, they were different from the meridians that were already used to the circulation of Internal Breath. When Internal Breath circulated in them, it would always seem slightly astringent, or even slow, so it was naturally very difficult to obtain a normal strengthening.
This was actually a normal phenomenon. In the classroom of the West Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch, the teacher who taught Internal Breath cultivation methods had even specially mentioned this.
Generally speaking, martial artists only needed to continue cultivating cultivation methods and continuously let their Internal Breath circulate in these meridians. Through accumulation over time, they could slowly improve these newly opened meridians, allowing them to gradually adapt to the flow of their Internal Breath. From there, they could strengthen their Internal Breath like the previous meridians.
This process was actually a part of the body refinement process of the Overlord Body.
To ordinary martial artists, the duration of this process varied according to talent.
The higher one’s talent was, the shorter the time it took to refine their meridians, the faster their Internal Breath would naturally increase. Therefore, the earlier they could become a stronger martial artist.
The worse one’s talent was, the longer the meridians were tempered, the slower their Internal Breath would naturally increase. There were even some who could not completely refine their meridians for years or even decades. Of course, one could not hope to become a powerful martial artist.
Most Overlord Body Martial Artists had basically fallen at this obstacle.
As for Chu Nan’s talent… it should not be considered especially good or bad.
The reason why he had not been able to break through after cultivating the second level of the Nine Revolutions Technique for 13 years was completely because the Nine Revolutions Technique was too special.
In fact, there was no problem with his meridians being tempered. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to barely hold on after using high-level Internal Breath a few times.
However, this was still not enough. Chu Nan wanted to quickly improve himself and reach the Perfect Overlord Body before his body completely matured and his body completely settled. Of course, he could not continue to cultivate slowly.
“Ordinary martial artists can only take it slow, but I… just happen to not be an ordinary martial artist!”
With a thought, a trace of Internal Breath flowed out of his dantian and quickly circulated to a new main meridian.
After entering this meridian, he indeed felt that the flow of his Internal Breath had clearly slowed down greatly.
Although it was not as difficult as walking on a muddy path when he opened it, compared to the other meridians that could withstand the normal circulation of Chu Nan’s Fourth Revolution Internal Breath, it was still the huge difference between the bumpy dirt road in the countryside and the incomparably flat highway.
After controlling this trace of Internal Breath to pass through this meridian, Chu Nan controlled it to circulate in his body for a cycle before setting off from his dantian.
Second Revolution Internal Breath.
This trace of enhanced Second Revolution Internal Breath quickly flowed into this meridian under Chu Nan’s control.
As soon as he entered, Chu Nan immediately felt a slight vibration in his meridians.
“It’s indeed incomparable to those mature meridians. My Second Revolution Internal Breath actually can’t endure it.”
This was the first time Chu Nan had mobilized his Second Revolution Internal Breath to enter these newly opened meridians. He immediately discovered that it was much weaker than those mature meridians.
However, this was the goal of Chu Nan’s experiment.
After controlling this trace of Second Revolution Internal Breath to flow into his body, Chu Nan continued to maintain the Second Revolution. However, he increased the strength of his Internal Breath slightly and it flowed into his meridians again.
This time, the vibration of this meridian was even stronger, but it could still endure.
Chu Nan strengthened his Internal Breath again.
…
Chu Nan’s body suddenly shook and a trace of blood suddenly seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
“Heh, it still succeeded in the end.”
There was no panic on Chu Nan’s face. Instead, he revealed a smile.
After many repeated experiments, after he raised this strand of Second Revolution Internal Breath to a certain extent, it finally exceeded the upper limit that this meridian could endure, causing his meridians to be damaged and he naturally spat out a mouthful of blood.
If it was any other martial artist, they would definitely obediently stop and treat their injuries if they suffered internal injuries and spat out blood while cultivating their Internal Breath cultivation method.
However, to Chu Nan, the damage to his meridians was his goal.
After recording the strength of the Internal Breath that had caused that meridian to be damaged in his mind, Chu Nan mobilized a trace of much weaker Internal Breath to surge into that meridian.
This time, it was Internal Breath that maintained a high-frequency vibration state. Not only would it not cause more serious damage to the meridians, but it could also repair this damaged meridian. After adjusting the different frequency experiments a few times, Chu Nan found the frequency and strength of the Internal Breath vibration that was most suitable to repair the damage to his meridians.
Soon, under his control, this damaged meridian healed at an astonishing speed.
After confirming that his meridians had mostly recovered, Chu Nan mobilized a trace of Internal Breath to flow in and discovered that the circulation of his Internal Breath in this meridian was indeed smoother than before.
“Very good, that’s it.”
Chu Nan took a deep breath and temporarily let go of this meridian. He mobilized a trace of Internal Breath and transferred it to another newly opened main meridian.
After repeated experiments, Chu Nan mobilized a Second Revolution Internal Breath that was slightly stronger than before and surged into this main meridian.
Pew!
This time, the situation of his meridians being damaged was slightly stronger than he had expected. In the end, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Nan reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth in a slightly sorry state. After calming down, he mobilized a trace of high-frequency vibrating Internal Breath to flow into this main meridian and begin to repair it.
Feeling that this meridian had clearly become much stronger after being repaired, Chu Nan smiled.
Compared to gradually tempering his meridians bit by bit through cultivating an Internal Breath cultivation method and using his Internal Breath to repair his meridians through the damage to them, the toughness of his meridians was undoubtedly countless times faster.
Of course, it was undoubtedly much more barbaric and dangerous…
