The cultivation methods developed at the Base have always been named pragmatically. We do not use flashy names; we have always been realistic. The more direct and clear, the better.
But now, Li Dingyuan was having trouble holding it together over the name of Kong Ji’s new cultivation method.
He tried to organize his words. “Little Kong, I can understand young people wanting to show off and flaunt themselves, but we are scientific researchers, after all. Wouldn’t it be better to give the cultivation method a simple and clear name?”
“It would also make it easier for readers to understand.”
“Professor, I understand.” Kong Ji nodded. “Actually, the name I chose is also very straightforward. I did not deliberately pile on flowery wording or choose some name that merely sounds impressive.”
“Really?”
Li Dingyuan glanced once more at the name 《Minor Heavenly Cycle Pure Yang Ren and Du Three Hundred and Sixty Aperture Divine Skill》 and decided it was better not to dwell on the topic any longer.
“Fine. Since you insist, I will not say anything more. After all, it is only a name, so it does not have much impact.”
“What matters about a cultivation method is its content.”
“Let me see what kind of content could make even Zhaoyang unable to understand it.”
Li Dingyuan opened the cultivation method with interest.
At this point, he was still very confident.
With his experience and knowledge, there might be some parts he did not understand, but there should not be many. Moreover, with Kong Ji explaining things beside him, he believed he would soon figure them out.
But that confidence completely collapsed ten minutes later.
“Little Kong, to be honest, this Minor Heavenly Cycle...” Li Dingyuan began haltingly.
Kong Ji nodded sympathetically from the side. “Professor, just call it the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong.”
“All right.” Li Dingyuan was briefly left speechless and could not say anything else, so he continued, “Has everything in this Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong been verified?”
Kong Ji replied, “Most of it has been verified, but some parts are difficult to say for certain. However, according to my deductions, they should exist.”
“...”
Li Dingyuan fell silent.
Only after reading the entire thing did he realize that Kong Ji had not chosen the name at random.
Every term related to the content of the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong could be found in its name.
The heavenly cycle, Pure Yang, the Ren and Du Meridians, and three hundred and sixty Acupoints—every part was there!
Kong Ji really was a pragmatist!
The problem was, how should he describe this Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong?
It was not that he could not understand it at all. At least he understood some of the parts concerning Acupoints and Meridians.
But that portion was only a tiny fraction, roughly one-tenth of the entire text.
He could not understand the rest either!
Clear above and turbid below, Pure Yang True Qi, qi gathering in the Dantian, heavenly cycle circulation, breaking through the Innate, calming the mind through Visualization, the Ren and Du Meridians, Yin Yang complementing each other... All kinds of terms he had never encountered before filled the entire text. He had absolutely no Method of understanding them!
Even the Acupoints and Meridians were beyond his comprehension. He had no idea whether the Acupoints and Meridians described in the text actually existed.
Ultimately, he only recognized a few dozen Acupoints, and as for Meridians, he knew only one route.
Did the things written in the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong really exist?
Did the Human body truly contain so many Meridians and Acupoints?
He did not know.
Li Dingyuan shook his head inwardly.
He had originally thought that his research into the White Mist had already placed him ahead of everyone else. Now, it seemed the road ahead was long, and there was still a great deal of work to be done.
If this Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong was real, then Little Kong was the one who had truly kept his abilities hidden!
“Professor Li, can you not understand it either?”
Seeing Li Dingyuan remain silent, Zhang Zhaoyang looked dejected. He spoke from the side at an inopportune moment. “To be honest, I do not understand it very well either. I have never even heard of many things in this Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong. Researcher Kong, can this Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong really be Cultivated to completion?”
Li Dingyuan’s expression darkened.
Seeing this, Kong Ji hurriedly began to explain.
“There should be no problem.”
“It may seem obscure and difficult to understand, but the content involved and many of the Cultivation concepts do exist. It may simply require a little Comprehension to practice.”
“To ordinary people, it may be just a tiny bit difficult to understand.”
This Minor Heavenly Cycle Pure Yang Ren and Du Three Hundred and Sixty Aperture Divine Skill incorporated much of the Cultivation-related knowledge from Kong Ji’s memories.
Compared with the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique currently popular at the Base, the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong involved far more.
It included not only Visualization, Yin Yang, principles, and Incantations, but also more Acupoints and Meridians along the route of circulating energy. Cultivating it placed many requirements on one’s State of mind and sitting posture.
A Cultivator had to focus their mind, silently recite the Incantation, calmly comprehend its principles, and assume the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture. At the same time, they had to precisely control the White Mist as it circulated through the Human body, pass through three hundred and sixty Acupoints, and open the Ren and Du Meridians. Only then could they Cultivate to completion and reach a new Realm.
Strictly speaking, judging solely by its content, the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong already resembled the kind of Top Grade internal energy technique found in novels from his Previous Life.
As for whether it could be Cultivated to completion, even Kong Ji could not say.
He had invented it, and he had practiced it before as well. However, because he was afraid of Having an Accident, he had not dared to delve too deeply.
Regardless, it could certainly be practiced. Its Effect seemed fairly good so far, but whether it could ultimately be Cultivated to completion was difficult to say.
He did not dare act rashly and use his own body for research. He felt that someone else should practice it first; if any problems arose, it would be possible to improve it in time.
“If it is Cultivated strictly according to the cultivation method, there should definitely be no problem. As for the specific Effect after completion, there is currently no Method of predicting it.”
“According to my design of the cultivation method, if it can truly be Cultivated to completion, open the Ren and Du Meridians, circulate qi through the Minor Heavenly Cycle, and achieve a Realm where it flows freely and encounters no obstruction, then it should be somewhat stronger than the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique.”
“However, Zhaoyang, you will have to try it first.”
Kong Ji made a fingertip universe gesture.
“All right.”
Zhang Zhaoyang said helplessly, “Then I will have to trouble you to explain it to me carefully again. Otherwise, I will not understand it at all, and I will not be able to get anywhere with my practice.”
“Certainly.”
Kong Ji agreed, then looked at Li Dingyuan. “Professor, what do you think?”
At this point, Li Dingyuan had no choice. It was entirely unfamiliar, and he truly did not know what to say. He could only ask seriously, “Little Kong, can you confirm that the content of the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong really exists? Can you confirm that it will not threaten Life safety?”
“The lesson of Zhou Bo’s experience is right before us. We absolutely must not repeat the same mistake.”
Kong Ji hesitated for several seconds. Remembering that he had tried practicing it earlier without encountering any problems and had instead felt warmth throughout his body in an especially comfortable state, he said, “There should not be any danger.”
“But to be safe, we should still take thorough safety precautions.”
“After so many experiments, we can currently confirm that the White Mist will not cause negative problems for the Human body. Moreover, Cultivating Techniques cannot be separated from the White Mist. Once separated, the White Mist within the Human body becomes like duckweed without roots and will rapidly undergo Consumption.”
“The White Mist’s range of Dissipation at the Base is currently only about two hundred meters. My suggestion is to practice at the edge. If a problem truly appears, sound an alarm immediately, and the personnel stationed outside can Cooperate to quickly pull Zhaoyang out of the White Mist’s range of influence.”
“At the same time, the Medical team and Equipment must be Prepared. If a problem occurs, they must rush over to provide rescue immediately.”
“Only then can we ensure complete safety.”
