Chapter 96: Ascended as Sect Heir, Impacting Acupoints

"The Sect Heir Candidate of our sect, Chen Feng, has shattered limitations, forged a Supreme Body Forging Foundation, and ascended to the top of the Strongest Body Forging Ranking. By decree, he is hereby promoted to Sect Heir."

Tuoba Wuxiang's majestic voice resounded once more, echoing throughout the Huntian Sect.

Instantly, the entire sect erupted in cheers.

Han Daoling also heard the news, his heart filled with indescribable bitterness and confusion.

First place!

Ascended as Sect Heir!

Wasn't he supposed to be the hope of the Huntian Sect?

Why did it now feel completely different?

The repeated blows had already begun to make Han Daoling doubt himself.

"No, I, Han Daoling, am the strongest. I possess a God-Grade Divine Trait, while Chen Feng is merely a Mortal Body. His current superiority is temporary. My potential surpasses his. Once I advance to the Aperture Opening Realm, I will absolutely suppress him!"

Muttering to himself, Han Daoling immediately entered seclusion.

He would impact his acupoints, break through to the Aperture Opening Realm, and utterly suppress Chen Feng.

Meanwhile, at Juejian Peak, Chen Feng, having finished consulting his master, also began his seclusion.

...

"The Aperture Opening Realm consists of 180 Visible Acupoints and 180 Hidden Acupoints."

"Opening all 180 Visible Acupoints is considered Minor Completion, while opening both the 180 Visible and 180 Hidden Acupoints is Major Completion. However, ordinary martial artists can only open the Visible Acupoints."

"The Huntian Dao Scripture of the Huntian Sect is an exceptionally profound cultivation method. Its Aperture Opening Chapter records a total of 270 acupoints—180 Visible and 90 Hidden..."

"Unfortunately, it does not cover all Hidden Acupoints."

"Still, I will first open all the acupoints recorded in the Huntian Dao Scripture before seeking further opportunities."

According to his master Wang Yuandao, even the three great holy lands lacked a method to achieve Major Completion in acupoint opening.

The thought flickered through Chen Feng's mind, but he did not dwell on it.

Clearing his mind and focusing his spirit, he carefully attuned himself to his body.

His formidable mental strength and his Sword Unity Realm allowed him to perceive and control his body with unparalleled precision.

The Huntian Dao Scripture's Aperture Opening Chapter even provided the exact locations of the 180 Visible Acupoints and 90 Hidden Acupoints.

"Acupoints are distributed across the head, torso, and limbs. There is no strict rule on which acupoint to open first, but opening acupoints in different areas will enhance the corresponding body parts."

For example, opening acupoints in the arms would strengthen them, as the internal energy stored within the acupoints could be channeled more swiftly through the arms, enabling faster strikes.

Similarly, opening acupoints in the legs would enhance their power.

Regardless, all acupoints needed to be opened eventually.

However, there was one universally acknowledged rule: the acupoints in the head should not be rashly opened.

The head was far too critical.

Opening acupoints was not guaranteed to succeed. Failure could damage the acupoint, rendering it practically useless. Though recovery was possible, it would consume additional resources and waste unnecessary time.

If an acupoint in the head was damaged during the process, the consequences would be even more severe.

Caution was paramount!

Precisely because of this, damaging a head acupoint could even affect one's mental will, making it far more perilous.

"I practice the sword, so I should first open the acupoints in my arms. Additionally, opening the acupoints in my legs will also aid in the execution of movement and footwork techniques," Chen Feng silently declared without hesitation, immediately deciding to prioritize opening the acupoints in his arms—especially his right arm, which he habitually used for swordplay. Conversely, opening the acupoints in his left arm first would not benefit him as much as focusing on his right arm.

Chen Feng carefully sensed the acupoints along his arms. The human body's Visible Acupoints and Hidden Acupoints are distributed throughout. Naturally, the arms have them as well. The head contains 20 Visible Acupoints, the torso's front has 30, the back also has 30, each arm has 20, and each leg has 30, totaling 180 Visible Acupoints. The same applies to the Hidden Acupoints.

With the Huntian Dao Scripture's Aperture Opening Chapter, Chen Feng quickly pinpointed the exact locations of the 20 acupoints in his right arm. While the number of acupoints is generally consistent among individuals, their specific positions vary. After all, people differ in height, build, and other aspects—even those with similar physiques have subtle internal differences, leading to variations in acupoint locations. Thus, locating acupoints is not a replicable process.

However, the purpose of the Aperture Opening Chapter's techniques lies in enabling one to accurately sense and locate their own acupoints. With Chen Feng's comprehension and the aid of the Divine Talisman Of Creation, he effortlessly mastered the Aperture Opening Chapter.

Locking onto the first acupoint in his right arm, Chen Feng immediately mobilized his overwhelmingly domineering Huntian Sword Force. Like a peerless sword light, sharp and unstoppable, it pierced through everything, smashing into that acupoint with unstoppable momentum.

The acupoints in the human body are sealed, and the strength of this seal is closely tied to one's foundation. The stronger the foundation, the more robust the seal. This is why ordinary martial artists require Meridian Opening Pills to assist in breaking through—their own force is simply not strong enough.

Chen Feng's foundation was astonishingly formidable, and his force had undergone repeated transformations, surpassing all limits to an incredible degree. With a single strike, the first acupoint cracked. A second strike shattered its seal completely.

An immense surge of force poured into the acupoint, swirling within it and transforming into internal energy through the unique method described in the Aperture Opening Chapter. Force is born from qi and blood, and internal energy is born from force. This is a transformation—of form and nature.

Before long, the acupoint was completely filled with internal energy—energy so vast and pure that it radiated an astonishingly sharp sword-like aura.

With unstoppable momentum, Chen Feng continued his assault. The second, third, fourth... one after another, the acupoints were opened, filled with force, and converted into internal energy, brimming to the limit.

He pressed forward without pause. Chen Feng's power was like an elite army conquering cities—utterly unstoppable.

Ordinary practitioners at the Ninth Level of the Body Forging Realm would open one acupoint, spend time filling it with internal energy, prepare again, and then proceed to the next, slowly opening and filling them one by one.

But Chen Feng was different.

In less than an hour, he had already opened nine acupoints, each filled to the brim with internal energy—energy so vast and pure that it far surpassed the ordinary.

For example, force can be divided into ordinary force, Lesser Hunyuan Force, Hunyuan Force, and Huntian Force. Chen Feng's Huntian Sword Force, after undergoing repeated transformations and enhancements, had long surpassed Huntian Force by a significant margin.

Different forces naturally convert into different types of internal energy.

Chen Feng's internal energy was undoubtedly of the highest tier, far more formidable than the Huntian internal energy derived from Huntian Force.

The tenth acupoint!

Opened!

When the tenth acupoint was filled with internal energy, Chen Feng immediately sensed a peculiar feeling.

"The Aperture Opening Realm—ten acupoints form one layer. Right now, I have reached the first layer of the Aperture Opening Realm..."

Yet, Chen Feng still felt he had strength to spare, a testament to his unparalleled and peerless foundation. Since that was the case, he continued opening more.

The eleventh acupoint, the twelfth acupoint...

By the time he opened and filled the twentieth acupoint, Chen Feng finally felt his strength nearing its limit. It seemed unlikely he could open a twenty-first.

"Destiny Power!"

With a faint smile, Chen Feng immediately activated the Destiny Power hidden deep within his body.

This time, he focused on opening the acupoints in his left arm.

Before long, all twenty acupoints in his left arm were opened and filled with internal energy.

Only then did Chen Feng cease his efforts.

This was roughly his current limit. While he could push further, doing so would strain him and potentially harm his foundation.

"Forty acupoints opened—completion of the fourth layer of the Aperture Opening Realm."

Feeling the unprecedented power surging through his arms, Chen Feng couldn't help but let out a triumphant roar.

His internal energy surged as the roar echoed through Juejian Peak, reverberating far and wide.

At the same time, from the direction of Huntian Palace, another joyous roar rang out in response.
