Chapter 473: Chapter 189: The Terror of the Fourth-level Killing Technique! Rapid Progress of the Top-grade Primordial Acupoints! A Thirty-Year Planetary Ambition
「The next morning.」
Before dawn, a deathly silence filled Cultivation Quiet Chamber A-73.
Qin Feng sat cross-legged in the center of the chamber, his eyes shut tight, his mind immersed in a state of tranquil clarity.
The entire space was crafted from Void Stone, isolating it from all external interference, both physical and ethereal. It provided him with a perfect environment for absolute focus on his cultivation.
The Spiritual Manipulation Technique, which he had only just begun learning yesterday, was now slowly operating at the command of his will.
A silvery stream, formed from countless motes of Mental Power, extended from his sea of consciousness. It gently and precisely probed the Acupoint Shell in his chest.
There, a Top-grade Primordial Acupoint, appearing as if compressed from billions of stars, emanated a brilliant golden light. It pulsed slowly, each beat seeming to sync with the very breath of the Cosmos.
’Shake!’
With a single thought from Qin Feng, the stream of Mental Power, like a giant, invisible hand, violently struck the massive Primordial Acupoint!
HUMMM—
A hum that seemed to originate from the depths of his soul reverberated through his inner world.
Stimulated, the Top-grade Primordial Acupoint instantly erupted with a surging torrent of golden Spiritual Energy, pure to the absolute extreme!
This Spiritual Energy was no longer the wild, untamed flood that had once required painstaking effort to guide. Now, constrained and gathered by his Mental Power, it transformed into tides that were both docile and yet contained terrifying power.
Again and again, the golden tides washed through his entire frame, penetrating every cell, every inch of fascia, and every fiber of his marrow.
On the path of the Martial Dao, once one’s life force index surpassed 30 points and the Mortal Body metamorphosed into an Extraordinary Body, there were no longer any fixed Body Refining Techniques.
The subsequent stages—opening acupoints, merging acupoints, and now the Primordial Acupoint Realm—all followed a General Outline of cultivation that invariably returned to the simplest, most efficient principle: using the higher-quality energy one generated to cleanse, temper, and push the physical body, achieving an evolutionary leap through the eternal trilogy of "limit, recovery, and improvement."
And the quality of the Primordial Acupoint was the key to it all.
The higher the quality of a Primordial Acupoint, the purer the Spiritual Energy it could store and unleash. This created greater "pressure" on the body, pushed it to a higher "limit," and naturally resulted in a faster rate of improvement.
Time flowed by quietly amidst the repeated washings of the golden tides.
When the preset alarm chimed on his personal terminal, his morning of cultivation had already come to an end.
Qin Feng slowly ended his cultivation session. As he assessed the strength of his physical body, he pulled up his personal status panel.
The next moment, he froze completely.
"???"
A series of giant question marks instantly flooded Qin Feng’s mind.
He thought he must have misread the numbers on the panel.
[Life Force Index: 7210.0 points]
He was utterly dumbfounded.
One morning!
In just a single morning of cultivation, his life force index had actually jumped by a full 10 points!
What kind of terrifying speed was this?!
Qin Feng’s breath hitched, and a massive, indescribable shock rocked his mind.
He recalled when he first set foot on the path of the Martial Dao. To raise his life force by 10 points back then, he had to sweat buckets and train arduously for an entire year.
When he was opening his acupoints, it took him nearly three months of relentless, day-and-night effort to achieve a 10-point increase.
During the acupoint merging stage, even with a massive supply of top-tier resources—guzzling Spiritual Energy Potions like water and consuming recovery potions like food, with every possible advantage maxed out—it still took a full month to gain 10 points of life force!
And now...
Now, he had just sat cross-legged for a single morning, and his efficiency had surpassed the combined results of a hundred, even a thousand times his past efforts!
’A life force index of 7210 points...’
Qin Feng muttered to himself, his mind racing. ’I need 10,790 more points to reach the first major threshold of 18,000. At this rate, that’s 20 points a day, which is 7,300 points a year. That means... it would only take me about a year and a half...’
’A year and a half! If I don’t run into any bottlenecks, I only need a year and a half to reach the first major threshold!’
’Looking even further ahead, to the second and third major thresholds... If there are no major setbacks, I might only need thirty years to complete the entire Sixth Level of Soaring Realm, qualify to ascend to a Planet-level Life Form, and graduate from Cannan Star Martial Arts University!’
Thirty years!
This number plunged Qin Feng into a long silence once again.
He finally, deeply, and personally understood why both Master Yu Han and Battle Commander Feng Zhiyu had said that after forging a Top-grade Primordial Acupoint, the road ahead would be smooth sailing.
This was more than just smooth sailing!
The decades of lonely, unchanging, arduous cultivation; the agony of carving open three hundred and sixty Great Sun Acupoints through endless pain; the unyielding resolve of tempering himself on the very edge of life and death... At this moment, all his previous hardships, all his desperate struggles, had transformed into the sweetest and most bountiful of rewards!
The feeling that all his past sacrifices were now being repaid a hundred, even a thousand times over... it was simply too wonderful.
’No, I can’t get ahead of myself.’
After the immense surprise, Qin Feng quickly composed himself. His mental fortitude had long been tempered to be as solid as a rock.
He recalled his predicament when he first entered Cannan Star Martial Arts University.
Back then, he possessed a Control Realm Killing Technique, but due to an extreme lack of a "technique material library," his actual combat prowess had stagnated for a long time.
