Chapter 311 - 167: Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill (Part 2)
Boom!
It was as if the sound of a tiger or leopard’s roar emanated from within, like the first thunderclap of creation that shook the world, with the pure Qi rising and the impure Qi sinking. Zheng Yi’s body emitted a massive bell-like vibration.
At this moment, his face was calm, but a ray of divine light shot out from his eyes.
In the final moment, after more than three months, the Holy Armor Technique and the Gathering and Scattering Divine Light finally overlapped and intersected, signifying the complete opening of the seventy-second body acupoint.
A flash of white light instantly enveloped everything, and the massive blood-red lotus beneath Zheng Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, flickered with faint light.
The blood-red lotus petals blossomed one by one, displaying extremely mysterious spiritual trajectories, with seventy-two light spots appearing on them. The faint white light shone upon them, yet gave a feeling of extraordinary harmony and perfection.
In an instant, the seventy-two body acupoints finally fused successfully, and the pattern formed was like a starry sky, dazzling and brilliant, symbolizing a mysterious aura that nearly enveloped his entire body.
A burst of white light blazed, the dazzling white engulfing Zheng Yi’s body, like a light veil covering every part of him.
As if attracted to each other, two streams of white light alternately erupted. The mysterious space created by his opened acupoints transformed into a radiant white light, quickly filling with mysterious trajectories of alternating red and white.
When everything settled, the divine light in Zheng Yi’s eyes gradually faded, and he remained calmly seated there. The seventy-two collections of light intertwined on his flesh also completely retracted into his flesh and blood, leaving no magical imagery.
At first glance, it seemed as if he had changed, yet it also looked as though nothing had changed.
He appeared unchanged, his body not becoming more robust, but just sitting there cross-legged suddenly gave an impression of vast stability, as if he bore great density, making even the slightest movement exude a sense of immense pressure and oppression.
The thirty-six acupoints of the ’Holy Armor Divine Refining Technique’ were completely integrated by Zheng Yi into the Formless Innate Qi Gathering and Scattering Divine Light’s operating system, assisted by the Super Brain Main God. The two merged yet remained distinct from others, creating a harmonious feeling.
But this was only a portion of the entire system deduced by Zheng Yi through the massive computational ability of the Super Brain Main God and the wisdom amplification of the Incense Fire Dharma Realm.
The refinement of seventy-two body acupoints served only as foundational groundwork, establishing the base for body refining. The core of the acupoints was the most critical aspect.
This tied into the rune refining technique of the Formless Innate Qi Gathering and Scattering Divine Light and the artifact refining technique of the Xin Family’s Holy Armor Divine Refining Technique.
Though they seemed vastly different, their internal cores tended toward unity.
Whether refining the body through artifacts or runes, the key ultimately lay in the talisman seed.
The Talisman Dao is the master of all techniques.
Among the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, whether it’s an array, artifact, or puppetry, these are merely extensions of the rune operating system.
A single talisman enlightens all techniques, harmonizing the mind naturally.
Legends say that the ancient Qi Cultivators comprehended the principles of heaven and earth, and runes are the manifestations of all Spiritual Qi operations.
The predecessors of the Cultivation Realm sensed the naturally formed runes of heaven and earth, using them as entry-level, gradually perfecting today’s cultivation system.
It can be said that talisman seeds, the Rune Dao, are the foundation of the cultivation system.
Over the past three months, Zheng Yi spent a large amount of time using the immense computational ability of the Super Brain Main God to deduce, treating countless pieces of cultivation information in his mind as big data for calculation, which he ultimately infused into the body refining system, with the Holy Armor Technique and Gathering Spirit Technique as the core, forming a new operating system.
The most crucial aspect was these seventy-two acupoints opened on his body, the ultimate carriers.
Based on big data calculations, Zheng Yi selected the strong points to offset the weak ones, finally integrating the advantages of talismans, artifacts, and arrays, and determined the Talisman Beetle system.
This was to store the core runes, using the Original Treasure Qi of the Xin Family for nourishment, with the body as the talisman paper and artifact refining as the technique, carving runes on it, using the seventy-two body acupoints as the base points to form a complete system of body acupoint array.
Ultimately, with the Talisman Beetle as the refining material, it was fused and refined into the acupoints, thus using artifacts to refine runes into the body, completing the integration of the Gathering Spirit Technique and Holy Armor Technique, achieving a powerful physique.
"Using artifacts to refine the body, using talismans to enter the Dao, and merging arrays, though such secret techniques are challenging, they have been seen repeatedly in the Cultivation Realm throughout history, with successful precedents."
"I have the backing of the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, leveraging the immense computational system of the Super Brain Main God, precisely measuring every step to the smallest detail, making the probability of success much higher than others, making it definitely worth attempting..."
Zheng Yi contemplated the gains and losses in his heart, refraining from hasty changes.
Before beginning the fusion, Zheng Yi had prepared for the worst possible outcomes; even in failure, he had contingency plans.
Unexpectedly, not only did no significant issues arise, but the entire process was exceptionally smooth.
Throughout the operational calculations of the body refining system, Zheng Yi didn’t act without basis or grope blindly; everything he did was calculated from results within the existing cultivation system.
The rune body refining technique wasn’t something he originated. Both the Gathering Spirit Technique and Holy Armor Technique inherently had this advantage, allowing him to achieve a commanding height, combining the two into one, maximizing Zheng Yi’s early advantage.
Thus, Zheng Yi also referenced various methods of previous predecessors, performing calculations and drills, enduring countless failures before making some changes.
Within Zheng Yi’s body, seventy-two body acupoints were opened, so choosing the Talisman Beetle’s rune refining method became crucial.
It was necessary to fully integrate them within, avoiding conflicts with his own Magical Power while leveraging the profound advantages to fuse the seventy-two Talisman Beetles into a complete system. The options available to Zheng Yi, given his current realm and cultivation, weren’t diverse.
Finally, through the deductions of the Super Brain Main God, Zheng Yi determined the seventy-two runes to suppress the body acupoints, drawing from the Seventy-Two Transformations, coagulating the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Runes.
The Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits Skill, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Skill, these are renowned skills in the Cultivation Realm.
Compared to the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Skill, which is a Celestial Immortal Technique, a Great Divine Technique capable of changing the heavens and days, operating on a macro level, top-tier immortal technique.
The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Skill, reputed as the skill of the unorthodox path, though it possesses profound mysteries, is accessible to Zheng Yi at this stage.
As they say, "Eighty-Nine and Seventy-Two", the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Skill is a collective term for seventy-two skills.
If categorized by runes, it includes the Tongyou Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Mountain-Bearing Talisman, Strength Talisman, Divine Movement Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, Demon-Slaying Talisman, Light-Birth Talisman, Sword Technique Talisman, Beast Gathering Talisman...
Seventy-two skills, also known as the Eight-Nine Profound Gate Skill.
The seventy-two runes can represent the total of the Earthly Fiend Runes; if the complete Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Runes are fully integrated into the body and succeed, it enhances all sorts of magical transformations, with unlimited possibilities and considerable power.
The seventy-two acupoints represent seventy-two runes, each rune signifying a skill, and when all seventy-two are combined, they form a complete cycle map of the Earthly Fiend Skill system.
Simply put, the seventy-two acupoints link together within the cultivator’s body to form the so-called Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Talisman Array, constructed from Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Skill runes.
If purely refined, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Rune System might not be the strongest, but it is the most accessible to Foundation Establishment Cultivators seeking a mystical skill system.
Because its potential is very high, reaching a different tier entirely, even relevant to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul, which is why Zheng Yi chose the Earth Demon Array, facilitating rapid progress in body refining, making it the most suitable skill talisman acupoint system for him right now.
And this integration system, Zheng Yi termed it the ’Eight-Nine Profound Rune System,’ created through the framework of the Gathering Spirit Technique and Holy Armor Technique as body refining techniques, synthesizing an entirely new body refining talisman acupoint system using the terrifying computational ability of the Super Brain Main God, merging arrays, artifacts, and body refining.
Through this, Zheng Yi could upgrade his personal system, laying the foundation for post-Celestial Reincarnation, advancing his level.
