723 Gathering of Three Flowers II —Flower of the Body (1/2)

By the time Zhou Bao had fully regained his human form, his body was covered in blood and trembling. This was because his physical instincts were still expanding as they absorbed the Mysterious Icy Divine Light. The intertwining and change of those two completely opposite forces made him feel pretty awful.

He felt as if there was someone with a blunt saber cutting every inch of his flesh, slit after slit. He could feel the pain coming from every cell so clear-unimaginably clear. But he could only bear it.

In the acute pain, he was equally aware of the fantastic changes in his body.

”Gathering the Flower of the Body, in fact, is the process of the body repeatedly undergoing ruptures and recoveries under great pressure. In the process of those recoveries, you can feel your body's constitution and ultimate mystery, and your bloodline will be refined again and again. Your body will reach its purest state, and the impurities that are hidden in the deepest part of your body, which can't be purified by the Thunder Tribulation, will be completely cleared out! Sink your spirit into your body and take a closer look inside it!”

Qing Feng's wave of divine thoughts was transmitted to Zhou Bao's spirit.

Impurities in the deepest part of his body!

At this time, Zhou Bao's spirit had fully sunk into his body. He was feeling and observing every change in his own body from the perspective of a bystander.

”Acupoints, those are acupoints! How come there are so many of them?”

After Zhou Bao's spirit sank into his body, the first thing he saw were innumerable acupoints.

All along, he thought he had a limited number of acupoints inside his body. This included the original Dantian, the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints he detected himself, and the 16 acupoints that he perceived from the Dragon Chimera.

Zhou Bao hadn't refined the 16 acupoints because it would have taken too much energy, and after they would be refined, they were likely to conflict with his Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints, resulting in his inner Dharma power being in chaos. And that would be terrible. Therefore, Zhou Bao had been practicing the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints.

But now, during his transformation where his spirit had sunk into his body, he found dense and obscure points one after another; they were as endless as the stars in the sky. But unlike the others, the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints were like nine suns in that sky.

”Remember these acupoints. Every creature has 36,500 of them. But no creature's natural acupoints have been all opened, except the first creatures born from the Primordial Origin. The acupoints' positions subtly differ between every living being and creature. Therefore, the acupoints' positions of other living beings or creatures, even of your own kind, can only be taken as a reference. The premise of opening acupoints is to sense them, but this is not necessary for Human Immortals. As you gather the Flower of the Body, you will be able to sense the location of each acupoint. The only thing you have to do then is to refine those acupoints in order to open them.”

Zhou Bao did not say a word. He was completely immersed in the uncountable, star-like acupoints.

Qing Feng did not disturb him. This was the most crucial step for a practitioner; remembering the location of his 36,500 acupoints was the foundation of his future practice.

After a period of time, Zhou Bao finally let out a long deep breath after having engraved his spirit with the positions of all 36,500 acupoints in his body.

These were all his acupoints.

Although human beings were a group, no one could understand its ethnic origins. In primitive times, the primitive ancestors were the most vulnerable group with wisdom, and humans were their descendants.

Through the course of reproduction, no one knew how many other creatures' bloodlines had been mixed into the human bloodline. It could be said that every human being had at least dozens of non-human bloodlines. The non-human bloodline of some people, so-called bloodline inheritors, was so dominant that they could exert the characteristics of the bloodline. Meanwhile, some people's non-human bloodline was recessive so that they could not exert the power of the bloodline hidden in their body.

But now that Zhou Bao saw the acupoints inside his body during the process of gathering the Flower of the Body, he could activate some of his bloodline's power. However, that power meant nothing to him and could not be put to action because he had refined Zhuyan. Technically speaking, he was no longer a human being, he was a Primordial Demonic Ape hailing from the Fierce Beast Zhuyan. The bloodline of Zhuyan was so overbearing that it would never allow other races' bloodline to awaken. The bloodline of the Fiery Eyes was a special case because it hailed from the Innate Deities, which were similar to the Primordial Fierce Beasts, so the bloodline of Zhuyan could not completely overwhelm it.

”Don't think about refining acupoints now. Carefully observe your Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints and take a look at what lies in them!” Qing Feng's divine thoughts were once again transmitted to Zhou Bao's spirit.
