Chapter 1587: Sixth Form of Split the Heavens

“Bend your front leg.”

Whack!

“More weight on your back leg.”

Whack!

“Lean forward more.”

Whack!

“Keep your abdomen tight.”

With each critique, the old man’s staff whacked Long Chen somewhere, making the latter clench his teeth. The old man was definitely getting his revenge.

“The sixth form is different from the first five forms. Before, you only had to rely on your acupuncture points to unleash the power of Split the Heavens. However, the sixth form uses one’s aura to draw out the energy of heaven and earth. So if you want to use the sixth form, you must have a powerful enough physical body to endure that energy. Remember, this movement must be done perfectly, or the energy flowing through your body will become stuck. If that happens, let alone unleas.h.i.+ng your attack, you won’t even be able to move,” shouted the old man to the side as he fixed Long Chen’s posture. “Alright, continue according to what I just taught you. Slowly circulate your aura. Remember, don’t touch the fifty-four acupuncture points in your body.”

Long Chen complied. This wasn’t difficult for him. The only difficult thing was this strange posture. When he had attacked before, it had always been natural. He had never been forced to follow through with a prescribed form.

s.p.a.ce shook as energy began to surge toward Long Chen. The old man kept his face stern, but he was surprised. Long Chen really was a monster. His control over his spiritual yuan was perfect.

He sighed inside. This level of skill could only have come from being forced to reach this level. Long Chen had forced himself to draw out all his potential. No one knew how much he had suffered to reach this level of skill.

Originally, the old man had been in the mood to continue beating him; however, with Long Chen’s current display, he felt too bad to do so.

“Not bad. Stabilize your aura and don’t touch your spiritual yuan. Have your will enter the first acupuncture point and activate it. Remember, just activate one,” said the old man.

Long Chen followed the old man’s instructions. His spiritual yuan was still calm as using one’s will to activate an acupuncture point was very difficult. Before this, he would connect all the corresponding acupuncture points at once. And now, not only did he need to do it one by one, but he also had to make sure not to touch his spiritual yuan.

Activating Split the Heavens had almost become a reflex. As soon as he activated the first acupuncture point, his spiritual yuan wanted to rush forward. However, his control was still great enough that he only had to struggle for a moment to suppress that spiritual yuan.

The instant he activated his first acupuncture point, Long Chen looked into the sky, surprised. There was nothing there, but he felt something there connected to his mind. It was like his senses had extended outside his body.

“Little fellow, you’ve actually found your spiritual eye,” exclaimed the old man.

“What is this?” asked Long Chen.

“Foolish brat, the Xuantian Dao Sect has its myriad techniques revolving around the Dao, while the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect has its endless magical arts. However, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect only has the Battle G.o.d Sacred Canon and the nine forms of Split the Heavens. Do you know why despite only having these two things, we were the leader of the three great heavenly sects?”

“I really don’t.” Long Chen shook his head. He didn’t know that much about the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect or its past. He had never asked either.

“You’ve already broken the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s divine spring, removing them from this world. But you should know that back in the day, their name was enough to shake the Martial Heaven Continent. As for the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, we were even above them. Although I wouldn’t dare to say that we were the rulers of the continent, there was definitely no one who dared to provoke us. Then we declined because the upper half of the divine tablet was lost, causing us to lose the inheritance of the nine forms of Split the Heavens. Before you went into Devil Spirit Mountain, our strongest technique was the sixth form of Split the Heavens. However, even the sixth form is incredibly powerful, far more so than the fifth form. The thing that you’re sensing right now, it is a complementing place to your acupuncture points. It is like another eye that allows you to see everything around you clearly. Now, continue activating the next eight acupuncture points.”

Long Chen nodded and continued according to his previous experience. Activating the second acupuncture point was even easier than activating the first.

The feeling he had up above him increased. From there, he was able to see himself clearly. The angle was completely different.

He continued, activating the first nine acupuncture points. These were the acupuncture points required for the first form of Split the Heavens. However, now that he was activating them with the technique of the sixth form, something was different about them.

He felt like there were nine eyes in the sky, giving him nine angles to survey the world. This was an extremely strange state.

“This way, when I fight, I’ll be able to track my enemies easier and find openings to attack!” exclaimed Long Chen.
