Dantian

If opening of meridians was just based on qi flow and accumulation, to open the innate sea, Qi cultivators had to make use of their spirit sense to find the location of their spirit sea and force it open.

Zhan Wei focused his spirit sense as he searched his navel area for his innate sea, after a while when he felt a bit of a mental strain he stopped to rest.

When cultivators first opened their spirit sense it was still a bit weak and although the strength of cultivators spirit sense increased as the cultivation realm progressed, overusing one's spirit sense could lead to mental strain and in serious cases soul injuries.

He could only rest to recover a bit before trying again.

There were two stages that involved progressing from the meridian opening realm to the innate sea.

Locating the innate sea, and sensing the spirit door of the innate sea.

If the innate sea or dantian was an area where the qi of cultivators could be stored, the spirit door was the entrance to that area.

For cultivators they could only open their innate sea from that area, opening from any other area could lead to injuries on the daitian.

One had to be very careful when opening the innate sea, if one's meridian were injured or destroyed, although it was difficult there was still hope of repair but if the innate sea was injured or destroyed there was hardly any hope of recovery.

Unless one could find rare immortal treasures, it was almost impossible.

Even after trying for a few days, he still had not opened his innate sea, standing up from his cross-legged position, he planned to stop for a while.

Using the spirit sense strained the cultivator mental, even if he rested after every try he was still tired mentally.

For the past few days he hadn't left his room, leaving his room he planned to eat something before he continued.

there was no other way, unlike the realms before, the innate sea realm couldn't be progressed by talent or resources, one could only keep trying till they sensed the location of their innate sea and found the spirit.

Probably only luck could affect those opening their innate sea, of course there were geniuses that their spirit sense was naturally stronger than those of others, it was easier for these geniuses to locate their innate sea and the spirit door.

The inn provided both lodging and food as he walked downstairs to get something to eat, Zhan Wei had wry smile on his face.

Back then he told Zhan Xiaomei something about the Great Dao not being fair and if one was willing there was a way.

The truth was at times even he couldn't help but envy those geniuses.

Forget even those geniuses that had stronger spirit sense and could easily scale through the innate sea realm, some had even exceeded it from birth.

Zhan Wei was almost halfway down the stairs to where the inn served it's guest when he paused.

... " Stronger spirit ", how could he not have taught about it, although his spirit sense was weak, he still had another.

One that was strong enough to detect every part of his body right from birth, after obtaining his spirit sense, he had forgotten that he could also perceive with his Primordial God soul.

If the spirit sense was derived from the ability of a cultivators soul to perceive his surroundings, the ability of his Primordial God soul was extremely stronger than his human soul.

Without even considering the fact that his Primordial Chaos God Incarnation of his soul was thousands of times bigger than his human incarnation, just the fact that his human soul had it's eyes closed and had been still from birth while his Primordial God soul had been active was enough to know the difference between the two.

The only advantage his spirit sense had was it could perceive beyond his body while the ability of his Primordial God soul to perceive was restricted within his body.

Still his innate sea and the spirit door, weren't they both within his body.

Grinning widely Zhan Wei turned as he went back towards his room

Closing the door, he sat cross-legged as he used his Primordial God soul to perceive his body and this time around after checking his navel it didn't take Zhan Wei much time to find his innate sea, even the spirit door was found almost immediately.

Zhan Wei was so excited, after knowing the exact spot of his spirit door, it was very easy for him to open his innate sea.

Taking a qi condensation pill from his storage ring he threw it into his mouth, the qi condensation pill turned to a stream of qi and together with the qi in meridians Zhan Wei controlled everything to push through the spirit door.

boom, boom,boom....Boom, in just few strikes his whole body shook as qi flowed into dantian ( innate sea).

After reaching the peak of the meridian opening realm, the amount of qi Zhan Wei could store into his body had reached it's limit yet as all the qi in his meridian flowed into his dantian it only occupied a minuscule part.

As if to welcome him into the path of true cultivation, spirit qi rushed towards him from all angles and poured into him, although with his innate aptitude he could only absorb a portion of the qi it stilled help increase the qi in his innate sea.

The innate sea realm was a chasm, after cultivators reached the innate sea realm they became true qi cultivators and received the blessings of Heavens.

Spirit qi from the surroundings would rush to a cultivator entering the innate sea realm, the amount of spirit qi an innate sea realm cultivator attracted and absorbed was depended on their talent and innate aptitude.

With Zhan Wei's talent, the amount of spirit qi he attracted wasn't that much still the spirit qi entered his body , increasing the amount of qi in his innate sea and washing his body, he even felt his spirit sense increase by a bit.

Zhan Wei sighed, he had just attracted a bit of spirit qi from around and his spirit sense had benefited, what happened to those geniuses that attracted from miles or those rare talents that attracted from farther.

Their spirit sense was already stronger to begin with, how strong with it be after it was washed by a huge amount spirit qi.

And that was only their spirit sense, spirit qi would still wash their body and enter their innate sea, who knows the amount of qi those geniuses obtained.

In other to maximize the opportunity, Zhan Wei took all the qi condensation pills from his storage ring and started throwing them into his mouth.

Using his Primordial God soul Zhan Wei watched everything that happened in his innate sea, although the innate sea was just a small part of his body , the space inside it was very big.

It was like another world, even with all the qi previously in his meridians, the qi rushing towards him from around and the mouthfull of qi condensation pills he was trying to refine, it only occupied a small part of his innate sea.

Looking at it, Zhan Wei felt bad calling Bai Mu trash, if this was how difficult it was to fill up the innate sea, who knew who difficult it was to reach the peak of the qi refinement realm.

The innate sea realm was a chasm and after it cultivators had to fill up their innate sea with qi and refine it to an higher quality, after every refinement they crossed a stage of the qi refinement realm.

Looking at the height of his dantian and the little space his qi occupied, his face twitched, at this stage when was his innate sea going to be filled up, not to talk of refining it.

Another issue he discovered was he couldn't absorb most of the qi entering his body into his daitian, it wasn't that he didn't try, his innate aptitude was just too low.

Not willing to let the rest waste, he absorb the rest into his body and the cultivation of his Primordial Chaos God Physique increased.

Zhan Wei smiled in shame, the whole qi he got from the surroundings after opening his innate sea was gone , just look at what happened.

He attracted little and he only absorbed a little of that little.

As expected, those that don't know the immensity of the heavens only looked at it from shallow eyes, no wonder Bai Mu was so angry and aggreived when he called him trash, only after reaching this level did he know how difficult it was.

As someone with two souls, Zhan Wei had the arrogance, might, potential of a Primordial God but presently the other side , the human side that now understood the heights of the heavens and knew how difficult cultivation was, especially with a low talent felt like apologizing to Bai Mu.

Zhan Wei blushed in shame, if he was one of those geniuses or heaven favoured probably his taunt or disdain of Bai Mu would make sense, but looking at the pitifully part of his dantian he had filled up, he didn't think he was any better .

If this was what the Mystic Heaven Sect was going to check in the disciple recruitment test then he didn't even have any hope of entering

Sure not everyone was a genius but as a Powerful faction, the Mystic Heaven Sect would at least want good seeds.

He wasn't looking down on himself but after today his talent and innate aptitude was clear to him, even if he could lie to others he couldn't lie to himself.

Zhan Wei sighed as he lay on his bed, as for going to eat, he wasn't in the mood to eat anything today.

.... Maybe tomorrow.
