The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 01: Cultivating with Destructive Meridians

Within the Nine Heavens Province, far above the sky, there were nine astral river galaxies. Each of these astral rivers consists of a combination of countless constellations intertwined together. These nine galaxies could also be collectively known as the Nine Layers of Heaven.

Humans from this cultivation-oriented world advocated the importance of meditation as a method to sense Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth. From a young age, they would practice breathing techniques, to train spiritual Qi in their bodies, and to increase their vitality – they would cultivate their martial techniques to eventually become Martial Cultivators.

Those with extremely powerful senses, through mediation, could sense the existence of the nine astral rivers. By absorbing the energy projected by the boundless array of stars, and after forming an innate relationship with any constellation, condensing the Astral Soul, and becoming a well-respected Stellar Martial Cultivator.

But there were stronger humans, who after becoming a Stellar Martial Cultivator, continued to train and condense Astral Qi which was absorbed from the constellations, endlessly strengthening the toughness of their bodies, and break away from the realm of Stellar Martial Cultivator. They forcefully opened the astral gates within their bodies, allowing them to be able to connect with even more constellations, and be able to condense even more different types of Astral Souls.

Legend has it that the strongest cultivators in the Nine Heavens Province were beings who could open astral gates whenever they advanced into new realms. Their talent in cultivation was such that they could even establish an innate relationship with the constellations that existed at the higher layers of the Nine Layers of Heaven, it eventually turned into a heaven-defying and earth-shattering power known as the God of War within the Nine Layers. Heaven.

……… ..

State Chu, Sky Harmony City, Bai Clan.

Bai Autumn Snow's forehead was filled with sweat – almost as if she was going through a great agony – as she gritted her teeth and continued to endure.

Under the curtain of darkness, the boundless radiance of stars located above the sky seemed to endlessly gather and shine onto the body of the Autumn Snow, contrasting with her soft and beautiful body, and, combined with the transparent robe that was soaked, one could see his jade-white belly revealed. However, at this moment, Qin Wentian did not have the inclination or motivation to admire that beautiful scene.

"Tell your heart, pain is just a passing thought. Relax yourself, imagine yourself now filled with beauty and vitality while soaring amidst the nine astral river galaxies – marveling at the beauty of countless stars, get lost in the alluring dream – and the pain will slowly subside when you wake up. "

His voice was soft and gentle, and drifted with the wind into Bai Autumn Snow's surnamed eardrum, causing his convulsions to decrease in intensity.

When the convulsions completely stopped, Qing Wentian took out nine silver needles, and pierced them through several acupoints located in the region of the head of the Autumn Snow.

"G …." Bai Qing, who was standing at the side as a spectator, involuntarily let out a small breath, as her hand moved to cover her mouth, after seeing the seemingly insane action of Qing Wentian targeting her sister Autumn Snow.

"Pull the energy of the constellations toward your body, circulate the energy along the meridians and energy channels, and seal it within your astral gate." Qin Wentian's mystical voice drifted into the Eardrum of Autumn Snow, guiding him methodically on the steps necessary to absorb the energy of the stars, and circulating it throughout his body.

"Back to the Nine Layers of Heaven – you are just astral projection. Now, find the constellation that resonates with you, and try to form a built-in link with it. ”

Qin Wentian's voice seemed to contain some sort of hypnotic power, and after a while, one could see it slowly, on the surface of Bai Autumn Snow's forehead, a faint shadow condensed gradually. This process was similar to when a golden peng was spreading its wings, giving off a sensation filled with a sense of beauty and beauty.

Bai Qing's eyes were wide open; this was .. Astral Soul Condensation! His elder sister, Autumn Snow, condensed an Astral Soul!

"I've done everything I can, the rest depends on you now." Qin Wentian silently said in his heart, as his slightly immature face was filled with burdens as it displayed a very serious face.

The body of Autumn Snow seemed to shine with brilliance, eventually culminating into a bird's cry, as the faint shadow spun faster and faster, as it condensed into the shape of a golden peng. Waves of terrifying astral energy radiated out as Autumn Snow opened her beautiful eyes, which seemed to shine with the luster of the stars in the sky.

"Success!" Bai Qing happily jumped up, as he rushed forward to hug Qin Wentian as he stuttered indistinctly, "Wentian gege [1], it really worked!"

After he finished speaking, as if on impulse, Bai Qing moved his head closer and gave Qin Wentian a kiss on his cheek.

The kiss was of the holy type, filled with innocence. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with laughter as he laughed out loud, his previously serious face finally relaxed.

"Which Heavenly Layer?" Qin Wentian looked at his fiancee, smiling as he asked.

"The 3rd Heavenly Layer." The Snowfall was smiling as well. Her smile was filled with luxury, as it completely gave rise to her beauty. This 16-year-old Autumn Snow, and was one of the four great beauties in Sky Harmony City, and the eldest daughter of the Bai Clan.

“The 3rd Heavenly Layer, sister can already form an innate connection with one of the constellations of the 3rd layer on her first experiment. Does this not mean that he will easily be able to condense the soul of the 2nd Astral, and even the 3rd in the future? Amazing, let me pass this news to Dad. ”Bai Qing seems to be even more excited than her older sister.

"There's no need for that," a middle-aged man walked past. This was the father of the Autumn Snow and Bai Qing, and his name was Bai Qingsong. Looking at Autumn Snow, his hands trembled slightly in excitement as he beamed, "The Snow of Autumn, you have suffered."

"Okay, Uncle Bai." Qin Wentian replied with a smile. Ever since their two clans broke off the engagement three years ago, Bai Qingsong had often invited her to stay at Bai's residence, and had treated her very well.

"Bai Qing, you brat, you are also following us, and don't disturb your Wentian's departure anymore" Bai Qingsong firmly said to Bai Qing. However, Bai Qing stuck out a tongue at him, saying, "I still want to chat with Wentian gege."

Shaking his head, Bai Qingsong snorted in agreement and left together with Autumn Snow.

“Sister Autumn Snow could actually form an innate relationship with one of the constellations of the 3rd Heavenly Layer .. based on Father's personality, she should go to tell all the elders of our clan.I, I, of course, don't want to go somewhere boring. "Bai Qing quietly whispered to Qin Wentian while giggling. "Wentian gege, I don't believe in your methods in the past, but to think that you really succeeded! In the past, you refused to let my elder sister absorb Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, and also told her not to try to condense her Astral Soul earlier. Could it be that you are planning to wait for today? "

"By absorbing the Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, the energy channels and meridians in your body will then be filled with the Yuan Qi that you absorb, he said, which in turn will cause your sensor abilities to decrease enormously, which will ultimately destroy your chance of condensing your Astral Soul. ”Jawab Qin Wentian, lying on the ground as he gazed at the vast starry sky.

"The majority of humans would simultaneously absorb Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth while trying to sense the astral river. This way, even if one failed to become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, it would still not negatively impact the progress of one's path to becoming a Martial Cultivator. However, the method Wentian gege used completely ignored the absorption of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in an attempt to increase the chances of sensing and condensing the Astral Soul. Isn't this too risky? If one failed to sense the astral river in the Nine Layers of Heaven, their path to becoming a Martial Cultivator would be hindered as well, due to the lack of Yuan Qi in their meridians. "Bai Qing curiously asked Qin Wentian.

"Qing er, how many types of Astral Souls have you heard of before?" Qin Wentian replied with another question.

"Hmm very little, there are only a few people who have managed to condense their Astral Soul in Sky Harmony City, so I don't really know much about this?

“In Nine Astral Rivers, there are a number of constellations that can form an innate relationship with Stellar Martial Cultivators. Among the many starry constellations, there were also, an infinite number and types of Astral Souls.

“Those who condensed the Astral Soul based on Leo's Constellation, would find that he possessed the tyrannical power of ferocious beasts, easily tearing apart tigers and leopards; those who condensed the Astral Soul based on the Heavenly Vision Constellation, will find that their vision and sense abilities have been greatly improved, allowing one to see further, as well as improving one's ability to predict the opponent's movements in battle; those who condense Astral Souls based on the Forger Constellation will become blacksmiths; those based on the Great Dream Constellation, will allow you to cultivate in your dreams, and it even gives you the ability to cause the enemy to hallucinate, immersed in your illusions! "

"Wow, cultivating while dreaming, and creating illusions, this is too magical." Bai Qing muttered in a low voice.

“The size of this province is huge, I have heard that many cultivators from the outside world managed to condense many kinds of unique, strange, and interesting Astral Souls; they could even fly through the sky and tunnel through the earth easily. In this world, the Stellar Martial Cultivator was a true ruler and dictator, whereas the Martial Cultivator could be considered an existence on par with ants. If you can't become one of the rulers, you might as well give up cultivation. "Qin Wentian had traces of burning intensity in his eyes. He was determined to become an outstanding Stellar Martial Cultivator, condensing different types of Astral Souls, gaining strength and soaring throughout the sky to travel the vast world.

Uncle Black once said that Sky Harmony City was too small – when compared to the world, it was just a meaningless insect.

"But, I heard that .." Bai Qing muttered doubtfully.

"you heard that I was born with crippled meridians, and was destined to never embark on the path of cultivation, right?" Qin Wentian smiled, as he stood up. "Who says that those born with crippled meridians cannot cultivate.I will become a person who defies logic, and become a very outstanding Stellar Martial Cultivator. ”

Seeing the confident expression on Qin Wentian's face, Bai Qing also chuckled before adding sincerely: "i also believe in Wentian gege, I will go first, I will go first, don't let me interfere with your cultivation to become a Stellar Martial Cultivator."

"OK, remember to rest early, and .. Don't absorb Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth!" Qin Wentian reminded him again.

"Understand." Bai Qing stuck his tongue out toward Qin Wentian, before giggling and fleeing. Seeing the graceful and graceful look behind Bai Qing, Qin Wentian froze as consciousness suddenly struck him. Unknowingly, this girl was an adult, she who was now 15 years old was no longer the 12 year old girl she had known since three years ago. Qin Wentian smiled as he lost himself in memory.

After Bai Qing left, Qin Wentian started his cultivation, and despite his limping meridians, he still went ahead and closed his eyes, entering a meditative state. He began to draw in the energy of the constellations, circulating them completely throughout his body through the broken pathways of his meridians. The explosive power of the energy from the constellations was constantly crashing and crashing into the broken path, as if they were threatening to grind his meridians into dust.

At that moment, a horrifying expression of pain and suffering appeared on Qin Wentian's face, this pain ..compared to the pain Snow Autumn felt earlier, is a spring bath in the presence of a thunderstorm! The intensity is noticeably increased by at least 10x. With no choice, he gritted his teeth and held on.

Energy channels and meridians were pathways that connected the flow of energy in the human body, but once the meridians were crippled, one could only be considered a disabled person, equivalent to having an incomplete body. Cultivators, in addition to expanding their energy channels and meridians – after Body Repair Body – have to reconstruct their energy channels, reconstitute their nine great meridians, connecting through all of the seven major holes, the, and repair their internal organs, four limbs, and even their bone structure. Only then could they fully unleash their true potential!

When Qin Wentian deliberately crippled his energy channels and meridians back then, if not for Uncle Black immersing him in various herbal medicinal solutions for treatment, he had long since turned invalid. The herbal solution was so effective that not only did Qin Wentian not become disabled, in addition to his efforts of training his body every day, soon after, he began to regain his normal human constitution.

Despite this, he is not an idiot. The crippled meridians were definitely not Qin Wentian's goal. There were records in the Stellar Meridian Transformation; only with the meridians broken would one be able to reconstruct and transform them into a perfect set of Stellar Meridians! This concept consists of the first crushing, imperfect foundation, before rebuilding the second, the perfect one!
