C1 Garbage Technique

Taixuan Sect, rear mountain, a quiet place, tree-lined shade, luscious flowers, birds chirping. Beside a stone path, there was a stone about the height of a person. On the stone, a young man in a long white robe was cultivating with his legs crossed.

Spiritual Qi rippled around the youth's body. With a single breath, the gathered Spiritual Qi also expanded and shrunk. It then gathered towards the youth's Dantian in accordance to a profound pattern.

The young man's name was Gu Fei, and was a disciple of Taixuan Sect young generation.

Taixuan Sect, was one of the Three Great Dao Sects above, and had a long history, it was an ancient sect. Gu Fei was an orphan. When his master, Wan Xiancheng, was eight years old, when he was travelling around the mountain, he brought him back to the Taixuan Sect and accepted him as a concubine.

Although he was in the Dao, Gu Fei was not cultivating the Dao Art, but a technique called the "Ancient Body Refining Art".

Body refining technique, as its name implied, was a technique that used one's own body as its foundation to defy the heavens. The martial arts described in the mantra were sufficient for the body to become a saint, and the ancient battle skills were enough to slay immortals and kill gods.

However, once he started cultivating this ancient technique, it would be extremely difficult. Even if he failed, he wouldn't be able to transfer to another technique.

Gu Fei who was sitting on a rock with his eyes closed channeled an ancient body tempering technique and absorbed the heaven and earth spirit energy from all around into his dantian, gathering it all up. When the spirit energy in his dantian had been compressed to a certain extent, it would guide the spirit energy in his dantian to rush into his meridians.

As waves of spirit energy gathered, regardless of whether it was the surrounding essence of the plants or the Sun Essence Moon Flower that was floating in the air, Gu Fei did not refuse them all as he absorbed them into his Dantian like a sea of 100 rivers.

Faintly, one could see tiny rays of light that resembled black hair curling around his body. As time passed, Gu Fei's dantian began to emit a rainbow-coloured light. It was the spirit multicolored light that was condensed from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Spirit Qi that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak started to spread out from Gu Fei's body. As the cycle went on, waves after waves of rainbow-coloured spirit essence started to surge out from Gu Fei's Dantian like a dam bursting, at the same time, the meridians in his body that had not been opened yet.

With every impact, it was as if a thousand kilogram hammer was ruthlessly smashing Gu Fei's body. With every impact, his face would reveal a hint of pain.

Powerful spirit energy gushed through his meridians, bringing about a tearing pain. The spirit energy of heaven and earth that erupted from his dantian was extremely violent, causing his meridians to feel as if countless sharp daggers were cutting through them.

He clenched his teeth tightly and started sweating profusely. His hair was stuck to his face and his white shirt was soaked through with sweat and stuck to his body.

He was experiencing the second bottleneck of the ancient body tempering technique — Invigorated Meridian.

Later, it would attack the acupoints on the meridian channels, allowing the meridian channels to be unobstructed. This way, the heaven and earth spiritual energy would be able to flow along the meridian channels in the entire body, reaching every inch of the muscles, every bone, thus achieving the goal of refining the muscles, bones, flesh, and blood, and causing the body to evolve.

The ancient body refining technique was a cultivation art that defied the heavens. Without a will that was like a boulder and endless cultivation, one wouldn't even be able to step past the first Qi gathering threshold.

The Soaring Dragon Continent cultivation system is innumerable, but the realms of cultivators in the world can be divided into five levels: Awakening Me, Mortal Separating, Void Resisting, SemiGod Resisting, Holy Orchid. Every realm is further divided into nine levels of heaven, which is in harmony with the Nine Five Sovereign's Will.

The Ancient Body Refining Art has four stages in the Awakening Realm, the first step is Qi Gathering. Only by mastering the ability of Qi Gathering can Gu Fei start the next step of his Invigorated Meridian.

After opening his meridians, it would be Muscle Altering, and upon reaching Large Success of Muscle Altering, he would enter the realm of Bone Forging, and upon reaching Large Success of Bone Forging, he would be able to transform his body, and upon successfully transform, Gu Fei would be able to break through the shackles of cultivation, and advance into the Mortal Separating realm.

"The gathered Spiritual Qi is still not strong enough!" Fail after failure, bringing about excruciating pain like death. Gu Fei had even bit his lips to the point that blood was leaking out, but he continued to persevere.

"The Twelve Channels of the human body have only opened two of my meridians. In addition to the Twelve Channels, there are also eight other meridians. When will I be able to open all of my meridians and enter the Altering Muscle stage?"

Most of them had practiced this name, but for those who had practiced this extremely slow cultivation technique, there seemed to only be one ending. That was, these people had already passed on before they had even successfully practiced the ancient body tempering technique.

In the late morning, when the time for early cultivation was about to pass, Gu Fei sat on the ground for an entire morning. Since he had opened up his second meridian two years ago, he had not been able to progress an inch!

The training screen was like an insurmountable chasm, spanning out in front of him.

Gu Fei was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. His personality was a little similar to his master Wan Xiancheng. They were all as stubborn as a cow, people who would never be able to turn their heads back.

"Let's go all out!" Gu Fei raised his head to look at the sky, there was still enough time for him to break through another acupoint. Thus, he clenched his teeth, a resolute look appeared on his face, and his gaze became extremely resolute.

Circulating his incantation, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth that had yet to disperse gathered once again. Inside his Dantian, the Spiritual Energy slowly rotated as it absorbed the Spiritual Energy that had converged from all directions.

A strong wave of Yuan Power rippled out from within his body as various colored lights emerged from within his Dantian. It was the highly compressed Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, it did not undergo any form of transformation.

The nature's spirit energy quickly gathered in Gu Fei's dantian. When Gu Fei felt a swelling pain come from his dantian, he suddenly steeled his heart and desperately poured the highly compressed spirit energy in his dantian towards the twelve main meridians.

The powerful and explosive spiritual energy surged within Gu Fei's meridians, like a small stream suddenly surging with a monstrous flood. Wherever the spiritual energy went, his meridians would quickly expand, almost bursting from the pressure.

Boom!" An explosion seemed to have resounded beside Gu Fei's ears. The surging current in his dantian, ruthlessly struck the walls of his meridians.

Gu Fei's body shook violently. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Beneath the huge rock and amidst the grass, Gu Fei lay with his back facing the sky. The corners of his mouth was a scarlet color, which was especially striking. He raised his head to the sky and looked through the gaps between the leaves. He saw wisps of smoky clouds drifting leisurely in the sky. Occasionally, a few spirit creatures would fly across the sky.

There was no discouragement in his eyes, no depression. There was only a resolute and somewhat terrifying look in his eyes.

He slowly climbed up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking towards the front of the mountain, he could see that there were already scattered figures heading up the mountain.

That was a Taixuan Sect disciple like him, who had come to the rear mountains early to cultivate.

Taixuan Mountain were towering into the clouds, the mountain peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and numerous palaces were faintly discernible on the mountain. The terrain was extraordinary, and they were one of the few Sacred Grounds of the spiritual mountain in the continent.

High level cultivators were all cultivating on the mountain, while young disciples like Gu Fei, who had not even been in the sect for ten years and had low cultivation, could only train at the foot of the mountain.

"Hm!" I still haven't broken through! " Gu Fei looked at his body's condition. He realized that the third meridian's screen wall had only loosened a little, and was still far from breaking through the screen wall.

"It's been eight years. The ancient body tempering technique has only reached the Invigorated Meridian realm, but it has only awakened my third heaven cultivation. Sigh!" Gu Fei laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even Wang Yuanzhi, who has the lowest cultivation level among the disciples from the other branches, has a cultivation base that can wake me up!"

Thinking about Wang Yuanzhi, who often came to find trouble with him, a look of disgust appeared on Gu Fei's face. The disciples of the other branches all cultivated Dao Art, so their progress was incredibly fast. However, the arts he cultivated were slow like snails.

Cultivation Realm only respected the strong. In terms of cultivation base, he could only become a target to be bullied.

Gu Fei tidied his clothes, and then followed the mountain path to circle around the mountain. On both sides of the quiet mountain path, flowers of unknown origin bloomed.

A faint smell of grass and faintly discernible fragrance of flowers would drift into Gu Fei's nose from time to time.

Just now, he failed when he tried to break through the meridian barrier. Gu Fei's body received a large impact, so it was natural that he would be injured. However, he didn't think much of injuries because after cultivating the Ancient Body Refinement Art, he didn't have any other abilities, but his body's self-recovery rate was astonishing.

When Gu Fei arrived at the front mountain, he met more and more disciples, but no one greeted him, as if they didn't notice him. Or else, they would look at him with disdain before leaving.

Gu Fei's face was expressionless and his expression indifferent. In the face of the looks of contempt that some of his fellow sect members shot at him, he was completely indifferent.

"Aiyo, isn't this our cultivation genius Gu Fei? Ah no, it should be our cultivation trash, haha …" Suddenly, a wanton laughter was heard.

On the small path in front of them, three young men wearing the same white long sleeves and white belts walked towards them. The leader laughed out loud, while the two youths behind him also laughed in a low voice.

Seeing these three youths, a look of disgust flashed past Gu Fei's eyes. He then ignored the three youths and directly turned into a small alley to the side.

This path led to a forest of pine trees.

"Oi, Junior Trash, where are you going?" The three youngsters also laughed as they followed Gu Fei onto the small path. On the small path, there were still seven or eight other young disciples.

However, when these disciples saw the three youths who were jeering at Gu Fei, their footsteps couldn't help but speed up a little, as if they wanted to force the three youths away.

"Who did you say is trash!" Gu Fei suddenly stopped and turned, shouting to the three youths. His roar, however, attracted the attention of all the nearby people from the same sect.

What, what's wrong with calling you a good-for-nothing? Not only are you a good-for-nothing, your master is also a good-for-nothing. Hmph!" It's just a garbage cultivation technique. No one would be able to pick it up even if it was thrown onto the ground. Yet, you two master and your disciple treat this trash as a treasure, truly stupid to be kicked in the head by a donkey.

The young man leading the group was suddenly startled by Gu Fei's roar, but immediately after, he pointed at Gu Fei's nose and scolded him with his saliva flying everywhere!

"Ha!" Wang Yuanzhi, don't go too far! " Gu Fei clenched his fist tightly. Because he had used too much strength, every knuckle of his fist had turned white. The anger in his chest suddenly exploded like a volcano.
