Zang Xin led Wang Dong'er through a metal corridor filled with a deep blue technological glow, finally stopping before a seemingly ordinary silver-grey metal door.
With a gentle tap of Zang Xin's finger on the sensor beside the door.
Buzz—!
The metal doors slid open silently to both sides.
"Come in, Donger."
Zang Xin, with a gentle smile on his face, took the lead and stepped inside.
Wang Dong'er followed obediently behind him. However, the moment she stepped into the room, she couldn't help but freeze, her pinkish-blue eyes widening instantly in complete disbelief!
Hiss—!
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but suck in a cold breath in her heart.
Such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
Wang Dong'er felt the pores all over her body stretch open, and the Spirit Power within her body began to cheer and jump uncontrollably!
The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was at least ten times higher than outside!
Is this the Tang Sect's cultivation site?
Zang Xin walked to a prayer mat in the center of the room, turned around to look at Wang Dong'er, and spoke slowly.
"Donger, since you have officially joined our Tang Sect, as your substitute teacher for this stage, the first ultimate technique I will teach you is also the foundation and core of all our Tang Sect Cultivation Techniques—"
"It is called the Mysterious Heaven Skill!"
"Mysterious Heaven Skill?"
Wang Dong'er blinked her eyes and listened intently.
Zang Xin stood with his hands behind his back and began to introduce the effects of this peerless Cultivation Technique to Wang Dong'er in detail.
"This Mysterious Heaven Skill is the most superior and orthodox Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Tang Sect! Its greatest characteristic is being upright and peaceful! The Spirit Power cultivated from it is flexible, powerful, and endless!"
"In battle, as long as the Mysterious Heaven Skill is not broken, your Qi recovery speed will reach a terrifying level! Even in a war of attrition, it can allow you to remain invincible!"
"Each Realm of the Mysterious Heaven Skill corresponds exactly to a Rank of a Spirit Master."
"In addition, the Mysterious Heaven Skill is the foundation for all our other Tang Sect ultimate techniques, such as the Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon."
"Of course, it can also be used for rapid healing, forcing out various toxins from the body, and even using its upright and peaceful Internal Energy to clear damaged Meridians for others!"
"And in battle, once you operate the Mysterious Heaven Skill with full force, it can enhance your strength and speed in all aspects! Even after your cultivation reaches high levels..."
"It can even spontaneously form an endless cycle within your body, automatically absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at all times! Once you have connected the Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the human body, you can even form an extremely tough 'Protective Aura' on the surface of your body! Furthermore, it can forcibly filter and assimilate any external heterogeneous energy, making you immune to all evils!" (In the original work, the Mysterious Heaven Skill passed down by Tang San had the most critical content about connecting the Eight Extraordinary Meridians removed.)
Wang Dong'er's eyes sparkled with disbelief as she listened to Zang Xin describe the functions of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
If she had learned this kind of Cultivation Technique before the New Student Grand Competition, she might not have been so miserable.
However, before Wang Dong'er could recover from her shock.
Zang Xin continued.
"If one Cultivates the Mysterious Heaven Skill before their Spirit Awakening, they can increase their Innate Spirit Power, reaching up to Rank 20 at most." (This is an enhanced version)
"What?!!"
As Zang Xin's words fell, Wang Dong'er was completely dumbfounded!
Innate Spirit Power... can actually be forcibly increased through Acquired Cultivation Techniques?! And it can even reach the legendary Innate Rank 20 that only Divine Rank Spirits possess?!
Isn't this too Heaven-Defying? Although the Mystic Water Pill can also change it, that's a Medicinal Pill... Now this Cultivation Technique can do it too?
Wang Dong'er's pinkish-blue eyes were filled with shock.
If this Mysterious Heaven Skill were to spread to the outside world, even if only a tiny hint of it leaked, the entire continent would definitely be plunged into a bloodbath instantly! All Sects and Empires, even if they fought until their heads were broken and their Sects and nations were destroyed, would definitely go crazy to snatch this divine skill!
But... wait, if the Mysterious Heaven Skill was so powerful, how did the other branch of the Tang Sect reach the point of being wiped out?
"The Mysterious Heaven Skill does not end here; it can continue to be deduced and upgraded. After all, Cultivation Techniques, like people, are not unchanging; they just need time to be deduced."
Gulp...
Wang Dong'er swallowed her saliva, feeling her heart thumping wildly.
She nodded heavily. With such a Heaven-Defying divine skill, her future was bright!
"Teacher Zang Xin! Please teach me!"
Wang Dong'er bowed respectfully.
"Good, sit cross-legged and Maintain Focus."
Zang Xin nodded with satisfaction and gestured for Wang Dong'er to sit on the prayer mat.
Afterward, Zang Xin also sat cross-legged opposite Wang Dong'er, extending a slender finger to gently tap the center of her brow.
"Close your eyes and carefully feel this current of air I'm injecting into your body. Remember every route it takes through your Meridians and every acupoint it passes. There must not be the slightest mistake!"
Zang Xin's voice became serious.
As Zang Xin's words fell, Wang Dong'er only felt a gentle Spirit Power slowly flow in through her brow, beginning to wander through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in her body.
Wang Dong'er held her breath and concentrated, listening seriously to Zang Xin's explanation and memorizing the complex Cultivation Technique's circulation route with her heart.
The route of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was tedious, passing through almost all the main Meridians and hundreds of hidden Acupoints in the human body!
A slight mistake would result in all previous efforts being wasted!
About an hour passed.
Zang Xin withdrew his finger, looked at the sweat-drenched Wang Dong'er, and spoke.
"You have memorized the route clearly. Now, try for yourself to mobilize the Spirit Power in your body to circulate the first cycle of the Mysterious Heaven Skill."
"Yes!"
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness, and began to cautiously mobilize the Spirit Power in her body, slowly advancing according to the route she had just memorized.
At first, everything went quite smoothly.
However, when the Spirit Power circulated to a narrow and remote meridian intersection, because it was Wang Dong'er's first attempt, her control over the Spirit Power was not yet as precise as she wished.
Suddenly!
Wang Dong'er let out a muffled groan, feeling the Spirit Power in her body suddenly stall. The originally steady flow of Spirit Power was like a runaway horse, losing control instantly!
A meridian blockage! A sign of Qi Deviation!
"Oh no!"
Wang Dong'er was greatly alarmed, her face turning pale instantly.
At this critical moment!
Swish—!
Just then, Zang Xin acted, directly controlling Wang Dong'er's rampaging Spirit Power and guiding it back onto the correct route.
"Phew—"
Wang Dong'er let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zang Xin, who was sitting opposite her, with a face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Teacher Zang Xin, for saving me! I almost had a mishap just now."
Zang Xin smiled gently and waved his hand dismissively.
"It's nothing. When cultivating this kind of top-tier Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique for the first time, it's normal for the Meridians to be unfamiliar and for the Spirit Power in the body to riot."
"Come, don't be afraid. Next, open up your mind and don't try to deliberately control the Spirit Power. Let my Spirit Power lead you; you just need to follow my guidance."
Hearing Zang Xin's patient guidance, a warm current surged in Wang Dong'er's heart, and she nodded heavily.
"Mm!"
Wang Dong'er successfully circulated the skill following Zang Xin. After the circulation ended, Wang Dong'er felt as if her Spirit Power had solidified slightly. Even a tiny bit was quite terrifying, considering she had only completed one cycle. The results were unexpectedly fast.
This Cultivation Technique was truly quite powerful.
If she continued to Cultivate it year after year, what kind of terrifying purity and explosive power would her Spirit Power reach?!
"Great!"
Wang Dong'er's small face was flushed with excitement, her small fists clenched tightly together.
"Alright, since you've found the feeling, strike while the iron is hot. Independently circulate five Major Cycles yourself; I will be here as your Protector."
"Yes!"
Wang Dong'er was full of energy and immediately closed her eyes again, throwing herself wholeheartedly into cultivation.
With the successful experience from just now, this time, Wang Dong'er's circulation appeared extremely smooth.
Once... twice... five times!
A full five Major Cycles, smooth as flowing water, without any problems or obstacles!
"Very good."
Zang Xin praised her without hesitation, then stood up and spoke to Wang Dong'er.
"Alright, you have mastered the route of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. The rest is just a matter of time and effort. Stop for now and follow me."
Wang Dong'er stood up obediently and followed Zang Xin out of the room rich in Spiritual Qi.
Zang Xin led her to another dark-gold door at the end of the corridor.
Zang Xin stopped, pointed at the door, and said to Wang Dong'er.
"For the next period of time, you will stay in this cultivation room for closed-door cultivation, operating the Mysterious Heaven Skill."
Hearing this arrangement, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She looked at the dark-gold door with some doubt, then turned to look at Zang Xin.
"Teacher Zang Xin, is there... any difference between this cultivation room and the room outside? Is the Spiritual Qi inside even denser than the room just now?"
Wang Dong'er tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
"The concentration of Spiritual Qi is the same, but..."
"In this cultivation room, you Cultivate for twenty-four hours... while outside, only one hour will pass."
"What?!"
Wang Dong'er was stunned again. So Heaven-Defying?
Without entering the Tang Sect, one would not know its abnormal nature!
...
Meanwhile.
In the Dean's office.
