Chapter 156: Innate Breakthrough (1/2)
"The mind sinks into the Dantian, and the spirit senses the mysterious spirit."
In the [Five Elements and Five Directions Samsara Technique] that Li Yan practices, there are only these eight words of hints at the beginning for the first step of breaking through the innate.
Fortunately, there are thousands of words of explanations under these eight words.
They are all obtained by the ancestors of the Su family through their own experience and conversations with those innate warriors who have practiced [Five Elements and Five Directions Samsara Technique].
It can be said that these eight words are explained in great detail.
This is the advantage of being a child of aristocratic family. When you get a book of skills, it already has a detailed explanation of the previous generation of ancestors who have poured their heart and soul into it, and you can practice it directly.
For those with poor family backgrounds, it is not easy to find a book of skills. After carefully confirming the authenticity, they have to check the information word by word, and even pay someone to explain some difficult sentences.
It may be a few years later when you fully understand the entire content of the skills, and your cultivation will be delayed.
In the cave, Li Yan followed the description of [Five Elements and Five Directions Reincarnation Gong] and began to condense the first strand of five elements in his life step by step.
"Mind sinking into Dantian", to put it simply, is to let your consciousness sink to Dantian.
At this time, people will lose their sense of the outside world. Once someone sneak attacks at this time, basically no one can react.
Therefore, people with power behind them will ask masters in the power to protect them when they break through the innate.
People without power behind them will either find a very remote place to break through like Li Yan, or find a trustworthy person to help protect them.
However, you can't know a person's heart by knowing his face. Some people who make the latter choice will always be killed by their companions with bad intentions and robbed of everything.
After "mind sinking into Dantian", it is "sense of the mysterious spirit". This step requires an important power, mental power.
When "mind sinking into Dantian", you can no longer observe everything in the outside world with your naked eyes. At this time, mental power will be particularly active.
At this time, while his mental power was active, Li Yan followed the method written in the explanation of the technique and began to use his mental power to feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The "Shen" in "Shen Sen Xuan Ling" refers to the mental power, and Xuan Ling is the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
When you can "see" the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with your mental power, you have completed "Shen Sen Xuan Ling".
"I see it."
Li Yan's powerful mental power allowed him to "see" the ubiquitous spiritual energy of heaven and earth with his mental power after just a tentative attempt.
This made Li Yan happy, and then his eyes went dark, and he withdrew from that strange visual world.
He couldn't even "sink the mind into the dantian", and his tightly closed eyes opened.
Li Yan didn't panic because of this, because this situation was described in the explanation of [Five Elements and Five Directions Reincarnation Technique].
The reason for this was that his emotions fluctuated greatly.
After spending some time to calm down, Li Yan completed the "Mind Sinking into Dantian" again, and observed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth with his spiritual power again.
In his spiritual power, these spiritual energy are in the form of strands of lines, emitting light of various colors.
Among them, the spiritual energy that emits blue light is water spiritual energy, the spiritual energy that emits green light is wood spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy that emits yellow light is earth spiritual energy.
Because Li Yan is in an underground cave, the earth and water spiritual energy here are the most abundant, followed by wood spiritual energy.
According to what Li Yan learned, different people see the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with spiritual power.
Some people see round particles, some see tadpoles, and even more, in his eyes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is human-like.
Why is this so, no one has given a reasonable explanation so far.
However, this incident has aroused human exploration of the nature of spiritual energy.
Thus, various schools and sects have been born.
Of course, these schools and sects rarely preach and develop in a small country like Da Zhou.
Even if there are, they will only be active in the capital of a country.
Li Yan has seen some of these sects in Xuanfeng King City.
After being able to observe the spiritual energy, the next step is to use mental power to try to touch these spiritual energy.
After touching the spiritual energy, you need to wrap the spiritual energy with mental power, and then use the connection between people and mental power to pull these spiritual energy into the dantian.
The first attempt is always awkward and difficult.
Li Yan's mental power is huge, but correspondingly, his control over mental power is relatively poor.
Therefore, Li Yan tried seven or eight times just to separate a trace of mental power from the huge mental power to contact the spiritual energy.
After finally separating a strand of mental power, the next thing to face is how to capture these spiritual energy threads that are moving irregularly.
The spiritual energy is not fixed, but is moving irregularly all the time.
Moreover, in the vision of spiritual power, the speed of this movement is not slow.
In order to capture a trace of spiritual energy, Li Yan tried more than ten times. Relying on the ability of multitasking, he finally captured that ray of spiritual energy by surrounding it with two strands of spiritual power.
Then, he only needed to move his mind and retract his spiritual power.
The spiritual energy wrapped by the spiritual power would enter the human body together with the spiritual power.
The spiritual energy that Li Yan captured in his body was emitting yellow light, which was obviously the most earth spiritual energy here.
At this time, you can't leave the spiritual energy in your body, anywhere except the Dantian.
Otherwise, the spiritual energy will dissipate immediately, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Only when the spiritual energy is placed in the Dantian can it be preserved.
The general innate skills only require the practitioner to capture five strands of spiritual energy with the same attributes, and then you can start to condense the true energy rune imprint.
However, Li Yan's [Five Elements Five Directions Samsara Gong] requires a full 100 strands of spiritual energy.
Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, each of the five elements of spiritual energy is 20 strands, and according to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, the five elements of true energy rune imprint are finally condensed.
It should be noted that the more spiritual energy there is, the more difficult it is to synthesize the innate true energy.
It is normal for many people who practice [Five Elements Five Directions Samsara Gong] to fail dozens of times in this step, and there are also many people who fail hundreds of times.
This has led to many people's retreat time for breakthroughs being calculated in months.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to practice the [Five Elements and Five Directions Samsara Technique]. Just getting started is a hurdle.
"Fortunately, I don't need to go through so much trouble."
Li Yan looked at the ball of pure spiritual energy in the corner of his Dantian.
It is unknown whether it was because Li Yan's mental power had been exposed to the spiritual energy from the outside world that some magical reaction occurred.
As a result, when he used his mental power to look at the ball of spiritual energy at this time, he saw a group of compressed lines, like a colorful ball of wool.
When Li Yan used his mental power to contact this ball of wool, he easily peeled off a strand of earth spiritual energy from it.
Then, when Li Yan compared this strand of spiritual energy with the spiritual energy taken in from the outside world, he was surprised to find that the strand of spiritual energy in the spiritual energy group was obviously much larger, and the brightness of the yellow light emitted was also much brighter.
"It seems that my previous idea was indeed correct. The spiritual energy in the spiritual energy group is indeed more pure."
Li Yan was secretly happy.
According to the data, the brighter the spiritual energy observed by the mental power, the purer the spiritual energy.
The bigger the body, the more spiritual energy it contains.
Li Yan roughly estimated according to the calculation formula in the book that the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy group was equivalent to ten strands of ordinary spiritual energy in the outside world.
So, Li Yan quickly stripped out a hundred strands of spiritual energy from the spiritual energy group to condense his first strand of five-element true energy.
After being stripped of twenty strands of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy group did not show any changes in the vision of mental power. Obviously, the spiritual energy stored in it was quite considerable.
This was normal, after all, this was the result of Li Yan's clone eating raw snake meat for several months.
Since the amount of spiritual energy was sufficient, Li Yan began to condense the five-element true energy rune imprint.
According to the [Five Elements Five Directions Reincarnation Gong], one hundred strands of spiritual energy should condense ten sets of five-element mutual generation runes and ten sets of five-element mutual restraint runes.
Then ten sets of the same runes devoured each other to obtain runes with more refined spiritual energy.
This step of spiritual energy devouring each other is not the original part of [Five Elements Five Directions Samsara Technique], but was added by the Ji family masters.
The purity of spiritual energy in today's world is far less than that in ancient times. When the Ji family practiced [Five Elements Five Directions Samsara Technique], they were stuck at this step and could not condense the five elements true energy rune imprint.
So, a master of the Ji family took action and designed such a step to purify the spiritual energy by devouring each other.
After the spiritual energy was purified, the remaining two groups of five elements mutual generation runes and five elements mutual restraint runes began to combine with each other.
After getting a rune imprint similar to the Tai Chi pattern, it is the five elements spiritual energy rune.
Finally, use the qi and blood in the body to nourish the five elements spiritual energy rune, let the qi and blood and spiritual energy combine, and then stamp yourself.
You can turn the five elements spiritual energy rune into the five elements true energy rune imprint.
With this five-element true qi rune imprint, all the spiritual energy that enters the Dantian later will no longer need such trouble to form the five-element true qi.

As long as it comes into contact with the five-element true qi rune imprint, it can be transformed into the five-element true qi.
Therefore, this first step is very important.
After failing twice, Li Yan finally succeeded in condensing his own five-element true qi rune imprint on the third time.
Such a fast speed, if known by other people who also practice [Five Elements Five Directions Reincarnation Gong], they would probably say it is impossible.
Which of them was not tortured to the point of almost giving up, and then condensed by luck, how come it was so easy for Li Yan?
In fact, it is very simple. Most of them failed because they let the five elements runes devour each other. If they fail to control it well, all their efforts will be wasted.
Li Yan skipped this step directly, so he was naturally much smaller than them.
"Okay, the most important step of the five elements true qi is completed."
Li Yan couldn't suppress his joy, and he opened his eyes and stood up from the ground covered with the futon.
After moving his hands and feet for a while, he found that his body's strength had not increased.
This made Li Yan slap his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm too excited. There is only one strand of five elements of true qi. I need to condense more five elements of true qi."
After some time, Li Yan calmed down the excitement and excitement in his heart, and sat cross-legged on the futon again.
This time, Li Yan wanted to transform all the spiritual energy in Dantian into five elements of true qi at once.
Strip the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy group, and then put the five strands of five elements of spiritual energy that were stripped off into contact with the five elements of true qi rune imprint, consuming a little blood and qi to form a strand of five elements of true qi.
If ordinary spiritual energy from the outside world is required, it will take fifty strands of five elements of spiritual energy to transform into one strand of five elements of true qi.
At this point, the five elements of true qi in Li Yan's body began to grow rapidly.
Time in cultivation always passes quickly.
When Li Yan found that the spiritual energy group in his body had disappeared, he stopped his somewhat numb behavior of condensing true qi.
At this time, there was only one kind of energy left in Li Yan's Dantian.
Colorful five-element true qi.
After reaching the peak of the Yunzang realm, because the whole body has been tempered by qi and blood, all qi and blood can leave the Dantian and be stored in various parts of the body.
In this way, the qi and blood will not occupy the space in the Dantian, thereby compressing the stock of true qi.
Speaking of qi and blood, because of the [Five Elements, Five Gods, Five Zangs Nurturing Method] that Li Yan practiced, his qi and blood also contain five elements of spiritual energy.
This reduces his demand for spiritual energy.
Originally, fifty strands of five elements of spiritual energy were needed to condense one strand of five elements of true qi, but for him, only forty strands were needed.
Li Yan did not expect that this stolen Yunzang realm technique could actually have such benefits.
Sensing the five elements of true qi in his Dantian, which occupied one-fiftieth of the entire Dantian, he could not help but nod with satisfaction.
This amount of five elements of true qi is already amazing for someone who has just condensed true qi.
Taking the Fire Element Innate Technique as an example, if you want to condense such a quantity of Fire Element Qi, it will take at least half a year without taking elixirs.
And those who practice the [Five Elements Five Directions Reincarnation Technique] may not be able to condense it even after five years.
From this, we can see why the meat of spirit beasts is a great tonic for innate warriors.
Fortunately, Li Yan practiced the Five Elements Qi. If he only practiced the spiritual energy of a single attribute, most of the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy group would be wasted.
Of course, the spiritual energy group is not all five elements of spiritual energy, there are also spiritual energy of other attributes, about one-tenth.
Because it cannot be used by Li Yan, it is expelled from the Dantian to the outside of the body by Li Yan and dissipated in nature.
After practicing for such a long time, Li Yan has felt that his soul is exhausted.
After all, in the process of condensing true qi, the role of mental power is indispensable, and the consumption is naturally large.
If it weren't for Li Yan's huge mental power, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on halfway.
There was no other way, Li Yan could only let his main body fall into a deep sleep and recover his mental strength.
The remaining mental strength was injected into the clone in front of him, so that he could stay alert and protect the main body.
When Li Yan woke up slowly, he found that a day and a night had passed through the clone in the outside world.
He called up the attribute panel and found that he could extract the experience of the clone twice.
Yes, the experience of the clone can be retained, but Li Yan had never slept for a day and a night like this before, so he had never used this function.
"Extract."
As this thought appeared, a wave of energy mixed with pure spiritual energy suddenly appeared in Li Yan's Dantian.
The energy and blood ran out of the Dantian to make up for the energy and blood consumed by condensing the true energy.
The spiritual energy was filtered by Li Yan's mental power, eliminating other spiritual energy, leaving the five elements of spiritual energy, and condensing new true energy.
"After passing the true energy level, it's time for the [Six Senses Acupoints]."
After taking some dried meat of exotic beasts that he carried with him, Li Yan began to look for the [Six Senses Acupoints].
Different people have different locations of the [Six Senses] points.
How to determine the location of the [Six Senses] points in your body, the methods in each innate skill are similar.
In the [Five Elements Five Directions Reincarnation Skill], the method of locating the [Six Senses] points is very simple, just let the five elements of true qi rotate in the dantian according to a specific pattern.
When the five elements of true qi rotate according to this rhythm, the part of the body that feels hot is the location of the [Six Senses] points.
After Li Yan did it, he soon found that the [Six Senses] points in his body were in the chest.
Following the burning sensation, Li Yan quickly locked an area.
At this point, everything depends on himself.
Li Yan launched a huge mental power and scanned this area bit by bit.
It took a lot of time to finally lock the exact location of the [Six Senses] points.
It was an invisible object that was moving regularly.
Even if Li Yan used mental power, he could not observe the appearance of this [Six Senses] points.
That is, this [Six Senses Acupoint] is constantly transmitting the burning sensation. Otherwise, even if Li Yan's mental power is ten times greater, he still cannot find this thing.
Now that he has found it, Li Yan immediately puts a mental mark on the [Six Senses Acupoint] so that he can always locate it.
After stopping the rotation of the true qi in the Dantian, the burning sensation of the [Six Senses Acupoint] disappears, and Li Yan begins to enter this [Six Senses Acupoint].
As soon as Li Yan touched the [Six Senses] with his mental power, he felt a strong resistance that prevented his mental power from entering.
"Let me see, is your defense strong, or is my mental power stronger."
For the first time, Li Yan's mental power was fully mobilized and gathered at the [Six Senses] here.
The attack began, and Li Yan directed his mental power to rush towards the [Six Senses].
Waves of surging mental power hit the [Six Senses], as if to destroy it.
With every collision, Li Yan could feel the layer of resistance on the surface of the [Six Senses] being weakened.
After consuming nearly 70% of Li Yan's mental power, the resistance disappeared.
The remaining mental power swarmed into the [Six Senses].
In an instant, the [Six Senses], which could not be observed with mental power, was as bright as stars in Li Yan's mental power field of vision.
"Finally got in," Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
When half of his mental power was consumed, Li Yan's heart was already lifted.
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.
The first thing Li Yan did after opening the [Six Senses] was to open the unique inner vision function of the [Six Senses].
When Li Yan used his mental power to observe his body again, he saw three intersecting shadows distributed in his body.
Their intersection was the Dantian, which was as bright as the sun.
"This is inner vision, and that is the meridian hidden in the body!"
The moment he saw the three intersecting shadows, Li Yan understood a little.
"I can actually see three meridians at once. It turns out that strong mental power has many benefits."
A feeling of surprise filled his chest.
"I've decided to open a meridian first and become a true innate master before coming out of retreat."
Li Yan decided to continue retreating.
When Li Yan came out of retreat, it would be the time to truly achieve innateness.
