Martial Peak: Origin Chaos Emperor

Wang Feng, Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang were sitting around a table. Wang Feng had just finished explaining what a cultivator needs to do to change their Cultivation System.

Meng Wu Ya looked to be in deep thought, with his eyes closed and his right hand stroking his beard. Xia Ning Chang too had a wandering look on her face, that much Wang Feng could tell.

A few minutes passed before Meng Wu Ya sighed and stopped stroking his beard. He first eyed Wang Feng and looked as if he wanted to say something but ultimately shook his head before he looked towards Xia Ning Chang.

"Little Xia.... What are you thinking?", Meng Wu Ya asked as he saw Xia Ning Chang in deep thought. Xia Ning Chang looked startled when she was called out, obviously immersed in her thoughts.

"Oh... Umm ... Mas.. *Fue* master, I ... I want to cultivate the system, Junior Brother explained." Xia Ning Chang spoke after calming down. Meng Wu Ya looked a bit surprised but asked in a calm but curious tone, "Why did you decide on that?"

Xia Ning Chang answered with a resolved expression, "I .. I just have this overwhelming feeling that.. if I don't do so, I will miss out on a huge opportunity.... It's... I don't know how to explain this feeling."

Meng Wu Ya went silent hearing this, he had felt the same feeling right now and was thinking if he should follow through. Now that his disciple has decided to follow this new path, he will do so as well.

"Alright. But the process of conversion will be done in my presence.", Meng Wu Ya agreed before telling his own demand. He said this because although Wang Feng told them the conversion method nonchalantly, it was anything but easy. Any wrong move and you could suffer a backlash or lose control.

Wang Feng who was observing the two spoke, "Although I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm. You'll probably need many healing pills for the body and soul, along with a way to condense your Qi and Soul to the required level. Otherwise It would not result well."

Meng Wu Ya nodded, "I already thought of that when you told me about it. So I have been thinking of ways to increase the chances of getting those resources."

Wang Feng nodded. Wang Feng didn't say that he had all the resources needed for these step as those were his own, plus he wouldn't have a way to tell Old Meng how he got those stuff in the first place.

He also had a technique to compress the Qi, but there were several limitation on it, placed by the Heavenly DAO. The restrictions were that this technique could only be used by those who are converting their cultivation system from the old one to this new one.

The second restriction was that this technique couldn't be used continuously, even by those people, and will only work till they reach the level of Qi concentration needed for their intended Realm before it stops working all together.

Wang Feng grabbed the herbs he came to get and advised Xia Ning Chang, "Senior Sister, you should be able to convert your Tempering Body Realm to Body Forging Realm with ease as you already have Qi in your body. What you need to do is cleanse your meridians and use your own Qi to form the pulses by connecting your meridians. If you need to ask me something, I will be at the Coiling Dragon Stream."

With that, he bid the two farewell before returning to the Coiling Dragon Stream. He sat down on his spot near the crater after arriving at the stream.

"Since I have reached the Peak 9th Stage Body Forging Realm. I need to prepare for 'those' steps." I spoke as I sat down and looked at the stream.

[Divine Meridian Foundation Technique]

[Description: A technique that is used to open the 3 hidden Divine Meridians in a human body. The technique is divided into '3 stages' and '486 stances'. The First Stage consists of 81 stances. The Second Stage consists of 162 stances and the Third Stage consists of 243 stances.

This technique is restricted to those who have great talent. It is also not compulsory for the partitioner to practice all 3 stages as the upper limit of this technique is determined by a person's talent, so a person can practice this technique till he reaches the limit of his talent.]

———————————————————

Wang Feng looked at the technique's description, "*sigh* from 81 stances in 9 stages to 6 times that in 3 stages.'

Although, now Wang Feng had reached the peak of 9th stage Body Forging Realm, he was still far away from the True Peak of the realm. During his enlightenment, he had discovered that humans don't have just the 9 Main Meridians, but also had 3 Extra Meridians called the Divine Meridians as well.

These Divine Meridians are blocked in the start of cultivation, but they eventually open as the cultivator reaches Transcendent, Saint and Saint King Realms, Though by then, these Meridians don't provide extra benefits.

Each of these 3 Meridians works in regulating, the Physical Body, the Qi circulation and density, and the the Spiritual Energy and Emotions. The combination of these three meridians is actually what allows the Transcendents, Saints and Saint Kings to gain a quantative leap in Body Strength, Qi density and Spiritual Energy.

But, Wang Feng had discovered that these meridians can be opened before the said Realms and can provide a great boost to the strength of a cultivator in the early stages as well.

Not just that, when these meridians are opened early on, they will continue to develop with the 9 main meridians, so later on, the boost they provide will not disappear, but instead grow stronger.

So, there was a restriction on these Divine Meridians and only those with exceptional talent and drive can open them.

{A-Note: Not to make it too complicated. You all can take it like this; only those who have potential to reach Origin Returning Realm in the Star Field (and Emperor Realm in the Star Boundary) on their own talent, can open these Meridians.}

For that purpose, he had deviced this technique to open these meridians in advance which will give him an edge in the earlier realms. As for worrying about not being able to open them? He had faith in himself ... And he had a guess, a guess that would lead him to reach these stages.

He sighed and lit the herbs before placing them in the insence burner. 'too bad I don't have any Body Refining Pills nor can I make them right now.', Wang Feng sighed while thinking.

He then started to practice the 1st stage of Divine Meridian Foundation Technique. Halfway through the 81 stances, Wang Feng felt that his body had become too heavy.

He felt like he was carrying more than a few tons of weight with his body. Even the Blood Qi in his system seems to slow down it's circulation under this weight.

When he was at the 73 stance, his body was incapable of even moving and he fell to the ground. "Ughhhh. *Haah* What... *Haah* The.... Why is... *Haah* this... So hard?"

At his current stage, he can effortlessly continue doing the 81 stances of Basic Body Tempering Technique for hours.

But, he was unable to even complete the first stage of Divine Meridian Foundation Technique. The difference of difficultly was staggering.

'If I continue with this speed... It might take months to reach the 12th stage.', Wang Feng thought gloomily after resting for an hour while laying on the ground. 'I must find a way to get Body Refining Pills.'

After recovering fully, Wang Feng again started to practice. He practiced two more times before night fell and he went back to his room and directly fell asleep.

The next day, Wang Feng went outside and challenged another person, reaching 2/3 of his monthly requirement. He then went to the Coiling Dragon Stream and started practicing again.

For the next twenty days, he was undisturbed and continued to practice from sunrise to sunfall. Until...

....

"It's been 20 days since I started practicing Divine Meridian Foundation Technique.", Wang Feng muttered to himself and looked at his hand. "I feel like I am close to opening the 10th meridian. *Haah* with each practice, I am feeling that whatever blockage is on that meridian is slowly disappearing."

After continuous practice during these 20 days, Wang Feng was now able to complete the 1st stage three times before utterly exhausting himself, under the effect of the insence burner that is.

He also noticed that as he practiced the technique, along with the special effect of the insence burner, His Blood Qi had increased and it now flowed much more easily in his body.

"*Nnhh* well let's... Huh?", Just as Wang Feng was about to continue his practice, he saw a figure approaching him from behind. "Oh, Senior Sister Xia! How are you doing."

Wang Feng saw the figure was Xia Ning Chang. Xia Ning Chang smiled under her veil while softly blushing, looking at Wang Feng's ripped upper body. "Uh.. ah .. umm.. Junior Brother... Um.. I just came to see what you were doing after coming out of cultivating."

Wang Feng felt joy bubble inside 'she came to check up on me?.... Wait, cultivating..', Wang Feng asked her while trying to sense her aura, unfortunately he was too weak at the moment, "Sister Xia, weren't you undergoing the conversion process?.."

Xia Ning Chang blinked and answered with a sweet smile, "yeah, with your and master's help I was able to do it within 10 days.". Wang Feng thought with a strange expression, '10 days? She's too modest, It's only because of her talent that she could so it so quickly. Otherwise, the old man might have to gave her some precious resources to cleanse her meridians or something.'

Xia Ning Chang's voice entered Wang Feng's ear, "So, was Junior Brother... Practicing?". Wang Feng shook his head to dismiss the thoughts before answering, "Yes. I can't just stop right now. I have to increase my strength quickly."

Xia Ning Chang tilted her head, "I was wondering... Why didn't Junior Brother breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm. You should have been able to do that till now right?"

That's right. Although Wang Feng had told Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang about the new Cultivation System, he hadn't told them about the hidden stages yet, which was because of his own selfishness.

Wang Feng looked at her curious and concerned eyes and smiled while rubbing the back of his head. 'should I tell her?...', his mind thinking about the pros and cons of it.

Wand Feng thought concentratingly about it. Xia Ning Chang saw his look and thought, 'does junior brother not want to tell me? Does he not believe me?'. She smiled lightly and told Wang Feng, "You don't have to if you don't want to."

Wang Feng looked at her slightly downcasted look and felt slightly panicked. "*Sigh* No, it's nothing serious. I was just thinking about how to explain it to you..."

He comforted himself, 'Either way, the knowledge of this will become common later on as I intended to spread this system out'. "The thing is...". Wang Feng then told her about the Hidden Stages and his problem right now.

"Oh, Junior Brother should have told me about the Pills problem." Xia Ning Chang said. Wang Feng blinked before remembering who the woman in front of him was, making him want to bang his head against the tree.

But he maintained a curious look outside. "Huh? Why ....oh, Is senior sister an alchemist?". Xia Ning Chang smiled shyly and puffed her proud chest, making Wang Feng look there for longer than a few seconds, "yes, I am..... Here see this."

Wang Feng then saw as she took out three herbs from a pouch against her hips. Wang Feng looked at the herbs but only recognize one of them {he hasn't accessed his Profession related knowledge so he doesn't know much about these stuff.}

The one he recognized was Tiger Blood Flower. A herb containing properties of enhancing the consumers body and blood flow.

Wang Feng knew what she was about to do and was excited to see it for himself in real life. He than saw as Xia Ning Chang closed her eyes and covered the herbs with her Qi.
