Looking at the simulated data given by the golden cymbal panel in his mind, Zhou Xiaochuan stretched and breathed a sigh of relief.

So that’s how it is. From the completion of foundation building to the stage of awakening, it is necessary to break through two acupoints from nothing. And from the early stage of opening up to the middle stage of opening up, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is needed to irrigate the mouth orifices.

In the early and middle stages of awakening, if you have a large amount of true Qi, you can break through.

However, in order to reach the late stage of enlightenment from the middle stage, not only a large amount of true Qi is needed, but also the meticulous control of the true Qi is equally important.

To deliver the same amount of true Qi into the four acupoints at the same speed without any error requires a precise enough grasp of the true Qi.

Zhou Xiaochuan closed his eyes.

Although he doesn’t have such precise control over his true energy yet, he has time.

There is enough time.

[In the first year, after you discovered the method to impact the last four acupoints, you began to try to improve your control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the true qi in your body. However, sending the same amount of true qi into the four acupoints at the same speed without any error is extremely difficult to do. Your efficiency is almost five to one.

You can only succeed once out of five attempts.

This means that work that could have been completed in one year will now take five years to complete.

[Year 11, although this is difficult, after years of practice, your control of true qi has reached perfection. You can even draw out a tiny strand of the vast true qi in your body to fill the keyhole.

Now, your efficiency has reached half of the normal efficiency, that is, the work that could be completed in one year now takes you two years. Although this is not bad, you are still not satisfied, you have to reduce the loss of time to the minimum. 】

[In the twenty-fifth year, you are finally able to fully master the true energy in your body. Now, filling these four acupoints is just a matter of time for you, just like filling any other acupoint before.

However, the time it takes to fill these four acupoints will probably be longer than filling the mouth acupoint. 】

……

[In the 157th year, after a long period of time, you finally activated all nine orifices in your body. These nine filled orifices are like bright lights in your body, illuminating your entire body and providing powerful energy for your entire body.

The ear orifice among the nine orifices, after being opened, can enhance the body’s perception of true energy, spiritual energy of heaven and earth, demonic energy and strange aura.

The eye orifice among the nine orifices can improve the purity of the true qi. In other words, the eye orifice is a comprehensive improvement of the strength of the entire body of the cultivator in the opening stage. Of course, the greatest use of improving the purity of the true qi is undoubtedly to enhance the destructive power.

Now, using the ability of your ears, you discovered that in front of the northernmost mountain road, there were several huge evil spirits covering it. Next to the evil spirits, there was also an extremely cold and strange aura.

Near those big demonic auras, there were about twenty small demonic auras.

The small demonic energy corresponds to the demon beasts in the foundation-building stage. Among the large demonic energy, two are in the early stage of awakening, one is in the middle stage of awakening, and two are in the late stage of awakening.

Although the two late-stage demonic auras feel the same as yours, the true qi in their bodies is obviously not as abundant as yours. If you really compare them, you are confident that you can kill both of them at the same time! However, if that were the case, you would also lose most of your true qi and even suffer considerable damage.

The last big demonic energy is even more powerful than the two demonic energies in the late stage of enlightenment, and is even three times more powerful than the true energy in your body! That big demonic energy belongs to the realm above the late stage of enlightenment!

And that cold and strange aura is not much different from the aura of the late stage of enlightenment, and is even more terrifying. 】

Zhou Xiaochuan finished the simulation and adjusted his body. Instead of feeling relaxed, he felt that the pressure was doubled.

After he had the ability to hear and investigate this area, Zhou Xiaochuan finally understood how much pressure he was facing.

Although, in his perception, several hundred years of long life had passed, but for this copy, he only arrived for about an hour and a half.

His large-scale killing of these monsters happened too quickly and did not attract the attention of the Black Pig Clan or the God of Rivers.

Originally, these monsters were sent out to wipe out the entire Lingjiang tribe.

However, these monsters did not seem to have the ability to accurately sense true energy like himself after opening his ears.

Otherwise, when he started killing these monsters, the powerful late-stage awakening people of the Black Pig Clan would take action instead of staying in one place like they are now.

“These monsters cannot be simply understood using the realm classification of humans. They are only comparable to humans in some aspects that humans cannot match. However, correspondingly, they are also mostly unable to use many of the magic spells and magical powers of humans.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaochuan felt a lot more relaxed, but the comparison of strength on the mountain road alone made it impossible for Zhou Xiaochuan to calm down.

The Black Pig Clan that guards the passage between here and the outside world actually has more than twenty people in the Foundation Establishment stage, two in the early stage of Awakening, one in the middle stage of Awakening, two in the late stage of Awakening, and two beyond the late stage of Awakening?

This was much more terrifying than he had expected and the previous intelligence from the Lingjiang tribe.

but……

It is possible that the information is not wrong, but these extra monsters are not from the Black Pig clan, but belong to the subordinates of the River God and are existences in the river.

When I was hunting the monsters scattered in various villages, I also discovered that the ratio of the black pig clan to the monsters that were obviously aquatic creatures was about four to six, and the black pig clan was even less than these aquatic creatures.

Zhou Xiaochuan squinted his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to think.

After opening his ears, he still couldn’t detect what was in the river, which meant that it must be the power of the creatures in the river that blocked his perception.

Since ten years ago, the God of Rivers has been asking the Lingjiang Tribe to offer young boys and girls on a regular basis, and he has also sent out the Black Pig Tribe to block the mountain road to prevent the Lingjiang Tribe from interacting with the outside world. There must be some agenda behind this.

And now, the River God has sent a large number of aquatic monsters to slaughter the Lingjiang tribe, and stationed them on the mountain road. This is really abnormal… (End of this chapter)
