Half a month later, inside a separate chamber.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yang Yunhai drew in a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes. He urged his spiritual power inward, guiding his soul power along his body's natural circulation path, gradually accelerating the cycles. After several rotations, he suddenly forced the flow into another meridian. At first nothing happened, everything seemed normal. But after passing through several major meridian junctions, he clearly felt his body heating up, his blood bubbling faintly, pulled along faster by the diverted soul power.
His heart pounded heavily, then was suddenly washed by a refreshing coolness. His temperature and heartbeat quickly stabilized.
Time slipped by. The redirected soul power circled through half his body, finally reaching the Baihui point. Under the pull of spiritual power, it curved down toward the upper dantian on the other side, forming an arc that circled around it. Immediately, a faint suction force appeared at the center of the upper dantian, drawing the surrounding soul power into a thin vortex. It gradually thickened.
Outside his body, heaven and earth energy seemed faintly attracted, converging toward Yang Yunhai's upper dantian faster than before.
He continued channeling the soul power. Soon, it reached another junction above the middle dantian. Another diversion—soul power rushed into a new meridian, circling around the middle dantian, linking with the upper dantian to form a figure-eight.
Another vortex swirled into being at the middle dantian's core.
Later, a second figure-eight was formed around the lower dantian, pulling a vortex there as well.
The soul power flowed onward, down to the soles of his feet, before ascending the opposite side of his body to the very first diverted meridian. Thus, a full great circulation was completed.
Half an hour had passed.
Without pause, Yang Yunhai ran the circuit again. Before, he had relied on brute force to guide the power, forcing the flow against its natural path, making it slow and unstable. Now he needed to repeat the cycle many times, carving it into instinct until it became self-sustaining—so that no accident would cause soul power backlash.
He had no desire to wake up in the middle of the night with his meridians rebelling, falling into qi deviation.
'As expected of the Child of Nature.' Inside the spiritual sea, Yao Ling was shocked by Yang Yunhai's feat.
Forcing soul power into new routes, this complex… and yet he had succeeded in forming three separate vortexes in the three dantians.
If they solidified, wouldn't this be equivalent to possessing three complementary soul cores?
Yao Ling could clearly sense it—Yang Yunhai's absorption rate of heaven and earth energy had increased. Moreover, the process of soul power converging toward the vortexes continuously washed and tempered his body.
'His body will only keep strengthening during this cultivation… slowly, but without limit. He has near-infinite lifespan as the Child of Nature. Over time, the growth will be terrifying. All he needs is… time.'
Yao Ling's heart trembled with excitement. With this new method, he was now certain Yang Yunhai could step past that barrier—if he survived to see the day. And ensuring that survival was his own responsibility.
'This… is actually a body-refining method?!' As hours passed and he cycled more power, Yang Yunhai felt it more clearly. The technique accelerated absorption, hastened recovery, and tempered his body with each cycle.
The effect was faint for now, but he could foresee that once his vortexes condensed into solid soul cores, the effect would amplify drastically.
For an ordinary person, this method would be priceless—it could purge impurities, improve innate aptitude, and create a chance to rise to greatness.
But the requirement—opening all eight extraordinary meridians—was impossibly difficult. And the complex circulation route consumed vast spiritual power. Without high cultivation, no one could even attempt it. Unless a powerhouse guided them step by step.
'This method might be used selectively. Spread Mysterious Heaven Technique for broad cultivation, then grant this advanced one only to the elite who can gather by my side… strengthen the top powerhouses around me.' Yang Yunhai silently plotted.
But what should he name it?
It accelerated soul core condensation, hastened cultivation and recovery, and refined the body. The greatest value might not be the speed, but the tempering. Still, its limit depended on external energy—without heaven and earth essence, it was useless.
His musings ended as he opened his eyes.
"How was it?" Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo asked nearby.
"It's an excellent cultivation method, but the entry threshold is extremely high," Yang Yunhai explained, describing the effects and drawbacks.
"This sounds incredible," Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed. The drawbacks hardly mattered to them—they had long surpassed such bottlenecks.
"Hehe, finally worth the effort. Honestly, it's stronger than Mysterious Heaven Technique. Why not call it Seizing Heaven Technique?" Chrysanthemum Douluo grinned.
Dugu Bo shrugged. "Name doesn't matter. Call it 'Grow Stronger the More You Fight' for all I care."
Yang Yunhai rolled his eyes inwardly. 'It could also be called Tempering Body Technique… or something ridiculous like 'Unstoppable in Bed' Technique. Forget it. Seizing Heaven Technique works fine.'
"Alright, Seizing Heaven Technique it is."
The two elders left excited to practice.
Yang Yunhai sighed. 'So I really am the tool man here…' Still, he went on to guide Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan through their first cycles. With him acting as safety net, the process went smoothly. Both quickly adapted to the new route.
'Next step will be soul core condensation,' he thought, leaving them to cultivate while he prepared himself.
That evening, he ate with the others, then returned alone to focus. Activating his evolved Blue Silver Domain, he linked with the plants around the house. Golden motes of life energy shimmered into being.
He asked Yao Ling and Yiner to stand by—ready to support him if his spiritual power faltered. Yiner activated her domain to amplify him.
In moments, soul power vortexes spun within all three dantians. Guided by his will, the one in the upper dantian condensed rapidly, glowing gold. Above his head, a faint golden spiral shimmered in the sky.
"???" In the other rooms, everyone noticed at once. Even outside, a suction force was palpable.
"Is soul core condensation supposed to cause this much commotion?!" Dugu Bo burst out, leaping outside to guard the perimeter. He saw the golden glow spreading through the forest.
Within, Yang Yunhai's brows were knit tight, his teeth clenched. The vortex in his upper dantian spun wildly, its center forming a black core, like a growing void. The suction terrified him—it felt like it might consume his whole being.
Yao Ling's voice echoed: "Respected one, hold on! It's nearly formed!"
Yiner, panicked but determined, poured more life force into spiritual power to sustain him. Yao Ling, seeing the strain, added his own essence to stabilize the process.
Minutes dragged like years, but at last the black orb stabilized within his upper dantian, ringed by condensed golden arcs.
'It's done.' Yang Yunhai exhaled in relief.
The vortexes in his middle and lower dantians accelerated as well. His entire system was now in balance.
"Congratulations, respected one," Yao Ling's weak but joyful voice reached him.
Yang Yunhai sensed how drained Yao Ling's spirit tree had become inside his spiritual sea. He bowed gratefully. "Thank you."
Then he activated his fifth soul skill. Golden light spread across the forest. Every blade of Blue Silver Grass lit up, channeling heaven and earth essence into life force. The forest revived, leaves swelling lushly once more. That life force replenished Yao Ling, restoring his dim aura bit by bit.
Hours later, Yang Yunhai finally opened his eyes, exhausted but triumphant. He had succeeded in condensing his spiritual soul core.
The next day, cultivation resumed as normal—yet now his perception was sharper, his spiritual power denser, his very senses heightened.
Undeniably, it was a great leap forward.
