Chapter 33 - Level 10 of Meditation Plane

Chapter 33 Level 10 of Meditation Plane

After Chen Jingzhai entered the fixed state, he immediately began sensing the Essence Power around him. Even though it could not compare to the Archive Pavilion, the Essence Power here was much denser than in his own home.

Chen Jingzhai started cultivating according to the descriptions in the meditation passage of the sky scripture. The meditation passage of the sky scripture was more abstruse than the Rock Technique, and there were some differences. The Rock Technique was about comprehending the Essence Power of the earth element and then guiding it into one’s body by vibrating the spirit root. For the Reversed Yin Yang Grand Technique meditation passage, one had to first comprehend the Yin and Yang Qi in one’s body.

This might be very hard for other people. After all, the Yin and Yang Qi are hidden deep within one’s body. But this was not troublesome for Chen Jingzhai. He had a five-element divine stone from the Blessed Land in his core. This celestial stone naturally radiated the Essence Power of the five elements. It helped to organize the Essence Power within him and strengthen his perceptions.

This was also why he could utilize the Essence Power of the outside world to cast spells, even though he had not yet started cultivating. Now that he was starting to cultivate them together, Chen Jingzhai subconsciously felt for the celestial stone. But then he first sensed a warm Yang Qi on the celestial stone. Chen Jingzhai was quite surprised. He thought that this was a misperception on his part. He had thought that the celestial stone only had the five elements. He was just studying the celestial stone so he could use his perception of the five elements to comprehend Yin and Yang.

He did not expect the five-element divine stone to give him such a big surprise. It made sense, though. The five-element divine stone was what the master of the Blessed Land called it. The master of the Blessed Land himself had not refined it before, so how could he know its true powers?

Chen Jingzhai’s thoughts raced. He immediately suppressed his emotions and focused on his cultivation. He carefully compared it to the descriptions of Yin and Yang Qi in the sky scripture. Finally, he realized that there was no mistake. The five-element divine stone did not just contain the five elements. It also had Yin and Yang Qi.

Holding back the immense joy swelling within him, Chen Jingzhai directly lured this Qi to convert it according to the meditation passage. He did not want to research and guess at the background and nature of the five-element divine stone. This would be completely meaningless. Compared to the difficulties of perceiving his internal Yin and Yang Qi, the Yin and Yang Qi on the five-element divine stone were better.

Not only was it easier to perceive, but the guiding was also simpler, and more importantly, the quality of this Yin and Yang Qi was better. This stream of Yang Qi started operating with the meditation passage of the sky scripture. It helped Chen Jingzhai start his cultivation extremely easily. The Yang Qi first aroused his innate Yang essence. Then it formed a thin fire raven in his body. The fire raven used the meridians as its path and the orifices as the heaven and the earth, and started flying without stopping.

The Essence Power of the outside world above the cloud path of the Reversed Formation was affected. It started condensing without stopping. Huge clouds of Essence Power started to form vortexes above Chen Jingzhai’s head and behind his back.

Mighty Essence Power that had accumulated for who knows how many years was gathered in the formation. The strands snaked into his body. The great amount of Essence Power transformed into the spiritual power that was unique to the sky scripture and started circulating in his body.

After 36 circulations, a new white jade toad appeared in Chen Jingzhai’s body. Compared to the fire raven’s thin shadow, the white jade toad was hazier and more illusory.

But as soon as it appeared, a burst of cool Yin Qi surged from the five-element divine stone. The power of Yin aroused the innate Yin essence hidden deep within Chen Jingzhai’s body.

The white jade toad opened its mouth and swallowed. Its body materialized immediately, shooting up his throat. It started to chase after the fire raven, pursuing and fleeing back and forth, using Chen Jingzhai’s body as their world.

During the chase, the white jade toad completed 36 circulations. After that, a faint swallowing force was formed in Chen Jingzhai’s Mystery Gate.

Many vortexes had been formed originally, but in the end, they transformed into a single vortex above his head. The vortex naturally shrunk, collapsed, condensed, and finally formed a fist-sized black hole. The black hole was like a deep abyss. It had no edge or end and madly emanated the Essence Power of the world.

A great amount of Essence Power began refining in the black hole. They transformed into a liquid that dripped into Chen Jingzhai’s body. The pure liquid of Essence Power started washing over his physical body. A portion of it was swallowed by the fire raven and jade toad, making their bodies even more tangible. Every time they grew more tangible, Chen Jingzhai’s cultivation rose to the next level. After nine times, Chen Jingzhai’s cultivation had reached Level Nine of the Meditation Plane.

At that moment, the spiritual power in Chen Jingzhai’s body was extremely potent. It far surpassed his time as an aspirant cultivator. The fire raven and jade toad’s physical appearances were very lifelike. But inside, they lacked realness, making them seem like realistic puppets.

Chen Jingzhai did not sense this. He was immersed in his cultivation. The fire raven and jade toad were the physical incarnate of Yin and Yang. His understanding of them all kept surging up to his heart like waves. There was no sense of time during cultivation. One did not count the years during seclusion. Thirty-six days had passed since Chen Jingzhai started cultivating.

The magnificent Essence Power in the Reversed Formation was aroused, directly leading to a tide of Essence Power. It caused the formation to sway and cause abnormal movements of the cloud Qi in the back mountains of Hongluan Peak. Su Qinghuang, with a veil over her face, walked out of Xuanming Cave. Her body flashed brightly, and she entered the Reversed Formation.

“Master!” Pearl bowed obediently when she saw Su Qinghuang.

“The people from Daoxuan Peak might come to steal him if they realize that he can cultivate the Reversed Yin Yang Grand Technique to this level!” Then Su Qinghuang said softly, “Pearl, undo the first level of the formation.”

“Master, only cultivators in the Foundation Plane can take the might of the formation’s first level,” Pearl said hesitantly. “The lord is still cultivating. If he gets affected…”

“His celestial bone needs pressure to be stimulated,” Su Qinghuang said nonchalantly. “Plus, his physical body isn’t any weaker than Foundation Plane cultivators by nature. Just

do it!”

“Yes!” With a tense look on her face, Pearl waved her hand and sent out a spell technique.

Some changes happened abruptly to the Reversed Formation. The changes occurred in the fine details. People who were not experts in formation would not be able to discover them. Chen Jingzhai was immersed in the cultivation, but he instinctively sensed the pressure from the outside world. He subconsciously sat up straight, and his spine transformed into the celestial bone, activated by the stimulation. One could feel that the Essence Power in the formation was being pulled even faster. “Not enough!” Surprise flashed past Su Qinghuang’s eyes. “Do another level.”

Pearl did not speak. She pressed her lips together and waved her hand, unleashing another spell technique. This time, it was evident that another burst of heavy pressure had appeared in the formation.

Ordinary cultivators of the Foundation Plane would find the pressure of the formation and Essence Power hard to bear. On the other hand, Chen Jingzhai was sitting straight right now, with attractive features and a black hole above his head. There did not seem to be anything amiss. It was just that the black hole swallowed more Essence Power.

“Do another level!” Su Qinghuang said.

Pearl’s mouth was slightly open. She glanced at Chen Jingzhai, but she did not object. She sent out another spell technique with her small hands. This time, a portion of the stars inside the Reversed Formation started turning. A hole appeared in the Essence Power above the black hole and it kept surging in. Multicolored light shone from Chen Jingzhai’s back, like a rainbow. It wrapped around half of his body. Under Su Qinghuang and Pearl’s scrutiny, Chen Jingzhai’s aura shot up directly. He had broken through the Meditation Plane, but he did not enter the Foundation Plane. His body’s aura was heavy yet strange.

“Is this…” Su Qinghuang sounded troubled. “Level 10 of the Meditation Plane?”

“I’ve heard that cultivators with innate physical bodies have a certain chance of entering level 10 of the Meditation Plane.” There was joy on Pearl’s face. “This is the extreme level of the Meditation Plane and an expression of a complete foundation.”

“It’s only that the Qi is compatible with his body and he has reached the limit of his physical body’s capacity,” Su Qinghuang said. After a pause, she added, “He must reach the Foundation Plane to complete his foundation.”

“In ancient times, the world was rich with Essence Power. Cultivators only needed 100 days for their foundation,” Pearl said. “There was no Meditation Plane back then. If the lord can reach level 10, his talent is obvious.” “What use is that? He’s not the direct heir of the Hongluan Peak!” Su Qinghuang scoffed.

But at that moment, a strange chirp came from Chen Jingzhai’s body. The sound was crisp. It carried vitality and a fearful majesty.
