Chapter 164 - Inside The Body Of The Godly Spirit (2/2)

The old man then pointed at the Wan Xiang secret realm and said, "Yuan Shens have no bones, which is why they need the Wan Xiang secret realm to provide form and structure. Look at how the Wan Xiang secret realms are connected to the four limbs, and how it function as the bones."

Zhong Yue looked closely and he saw that the limbs of the godly spirit were linked to the Wan Xiang secret realm and that the secret realm did indeed form the skeleton of the Yuan Shen.

"Why are the Yuan Shens of all Awakening Qi Practitioners referred to as the Combat Yuan Shen? This is mainly because each opening of the five secret realms would gift the Yuan Shen with immense combat power. The Wan Xiang secret realm replaced the bones and the Shen Cai secret realm replaced the Yuan Shen's Qi, blood, and flesh."

The old man continued saying, "The Qi comes from the throat, the blood is engendered by the bones, and the flesh is in turn begotten from the blood. The Shen Cai secret realm supplies the Yuan Shen with Qi, blood and flesh, adding another layer of power to the Yuan Shen."

Zhong Yue immediately looked around and saw that the Shen Cai Wheel was connected to the throat, umbilical region, and the heart of the godly spirit.

"The Yin Yang secret realm is where the eyes are located while the Dao Yi Wheel is located on the head."

Zhong Yue listened silently as the old man spoke.

The Wu Xing Wheels are formed with the five elements, gold, wood, earth, fire and water and they correspond to the five internal organs – the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

The Wan Xiang Wheel formed the bones of the human body with the four limbs as its pillars. The four pillars were carved with various totem carvings, forming into all sorts of totem pictures. It was also the largest wheel among the others.

The Shen Cai Wheel was the throat, heart and umbilical – corresponding to the heaven, life and earth respectively.

The Yin Yang Wheel was the eyes and because of that, it had a slightly smaller secret realm. On the other hand, the Dao Yi Wheel was even smaller than the Yin Yang Wheel, being the smallest one of them all.

Zhong Yue then thought,  The Wan Xiang Wheel is the biggest, then the Shen Cai Wheel, Wu Xing Wheel, Yin Yang Wheel, and the Dao Yi Wheel. It seems like the five secret realms were arranged in their own way instead of by sizes.

"Come, I'll take you to have a look at the Dao Yi Wheel."

The old man walked in front and they slowly walked towards the top. As Zhong Yue passed by the Wu Xing secret realms, he measured them carefully and he saw that the five secret realms kept spinning in repetition.

Then, he looked at the Wan Xiang secret realm and he saw four pillars supported the space around it and when he looked at the Shen Cai secret realm, he saw the heaven and earth split apart. He felt the essence of life being gathered in between of the heaven and earth. He looked at the Yin Yang secret realm and he saw the sun and moon hung in the sky, generating energy and nourishing one another.

"Qi Practitioners first open the Wu Xing secret realm because the power of the five elements is easier to obtained. Once they managed to obtain the power of the five elements, they could use this power to reduce the difficulty of opening the Wu Xing secret realm."

The old man then said, "The Wan Xiang secret realm is built around the Wu Xing secret realm and the Wan Xiang secret realm start by building the bones. After that, the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney will be formed and then the breathing system, blood and flesh. Only with that, would the Shen Cai secret realm be opened to produce Qi and blood. After the opening of Shen Cai secret realm, the Qi and blood would conflict with each other to generate the requisite power to open the Yin Yang that grants the Yuan Shen with sight. But it is hardest to open the Dao Yi secret realm. This secret realm requires the unification of the other secret realms to be opened and it is analogous to the human brain where the Yuan Shen resides!"

Finally, they arrived at the Dao Yi secret realm.

Zhong Yue looked around and saw only a light wheel and loud noises could be heard as the wheel spun. In the light wheel, a god could faintly be seen. As the light wheel spun, the god within it would also spin along with it.

The Wu Xing secret realms were not the real flesh and bones of the Yuan Shen and the Dao Yi secret realm was also not the real brain. They were merely there to enable the Yuan Shen to fight like a real body.

"This is the hardest part. Unlike opening the secret realms from the basic to the highest level; the Wu Xing secret realm to the Dao Yi secret realm, the reverse opening method is considerably more dangerous. Reverse opening of the secret realms, starting from the Dao Yi secret realm is very dangerous as the Dao Yi secret realm is equivalent to the Yuan Shen's brain. Any mistake and the Yuan Shen would suffer irreversible damage as it inevitably gets destroyed!"

The old man sighed and said, "I too was once a rash and brazen youth who had a thirst for adventure, constantly tempering myself in moments of life and death. Yet I did not dare open the five secret realms in reverse; therefore, I opted for the conventional method like the others. Now, all you have to do is awaken this god and he will tell you they ways on how to reverse open the secret realms."

He tidied up himself and started praying to the God in the light wheel as he said, "The ancestor of the Feng Clan, your unfilial descendant, Feng Shang, beg your pardon for the disturbance. I am here to help my disciple seek the way of reverse opening the wheels. Please enlighten us."

The light wheel stopped spinning and the five secret realms trembled slowly before they suddenly stopped and closed.

Hong long——

A huge vibration could be sensed and the Dao Yi secret realm and the Dao Yi Wheel closed and disappeared and the godly spirit's Yuan Shen showed only a void space bereft of color, light, and sound.

Zhong Yue had no idea what to do and he suddenly saw light rays shooting out from and lighting up the void.

More light rays shot out as they formed Dao Yi secret realm and the Dao Yi Wheel before gathering to condense the spirit in the Dao Yi Wheel.

Then, the Yin Yang secret realm was lit and the Shen Cai secret realm opened up along with the Wan Xiang secret realm. Finally, the Wu Xing secret realm was opened as well!

Zhong Yue's heart tightened as the light was the thunder light formed by the psyche, something that required one's psyche to at least reach the level of the thunder blighted pool.

The thunder blighted pool then exploded in the void of the godly spirit's brain!

It was equivalent to cracking one's own head with thunder. That person would have died and even if by some miracle, the person had managed to survived, they would invariably be condemned to a crippled life for eternity!

And if the brain of the Yuan Shen suffered irreversible damage, it would mean the complete destruction of their own Yuan Shen forever!
