Normally, following the standard cultivation speed of Breathing and Guiding, opening all the Floating Meridians in one's body would take an incredibly long time.
The first twenty percent of the Floating Meridians would take two years to open. The next twenty percent would take four years, the following twenty percent eight years, the next sixteen, and the final twenty percent would require a staggering thirty-two years.
A total of sixty-two years were needed to reach the state of Perfection, with all the meridians throughout the body fully opened.
The reason was that as the Floating Meridians were opened, the subsequent ones became smaller and more obscure.
The flow of "Qi" within these minuscule Floating Meridians was like water flowing through pipes at different elevations; the higher the elevation, the lower the water pressure, and the more difficult the flow.
One had to rely on years of continuous circulation to slowly widen these most minuscule and obscure channels.
