Humanity’s Great Sage

days, he couldn’t help feeling excited now that the day of harvest was upon him.
He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.
Following the training course recorded in the Golden Liberation Technique, he first stimulated the Spiritual Power in his Source Spiritual Point and poured it into his second Spiritual Point.
Next, he gathered the Spiritual Power in his second Spiritual Point and poured it into his third Spiritual Point.
Then, he gathered the Spiritual Power in his third Spiritual Point and poured it into his fourth Spiritual Point… He repeated this process all the way until his ninth Spiritual Point!

The ninth Spiritual Point was located close to the Source Spiritual Point.
Once his Spiritual Qi poured into his ninth Spiritual Point, he guided his spiritual Qi back to his Source Spiritual Point.
His Spiritual Qi ran through his Nine Major Spiritual Points and formed a closed circle.
That was the Microcosmic Orbit!

If he compared the Spiritual Power stored in his Spiritual Points to a pool of stagnant water, then it now became a flowing stream.
The Spiritual Power in his body flowed from his Source Spiritual Point to the eight other Major Spiritual Points and back again to his Source Spiritual Point in an endless cycle.

A different feeling struck him all of a sudden.
Even so, he didn’t stop there.
He continued to guide his Spiritual Power and unceasingly executed the Microcosmic Orbit in an endless cycle.

The speed of his Spiritual Power flowing through his Nine Major Spiritual Points became faster and faster.
It kept increasing until it reached a certain limit.
At that moment, a buzzing sounded in his ears and his vision went as white as snow even though his eyes were closed.
Immediately following that, the blankness retreated.
His hearing and vision cleared up, and his entire being was filled with a sense of invigorating exhilaration.

A wave of Qi visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out in all directions with him as the center, causing sand and stone to fly about inside the cave.
He had broken through to the Spirit Creek Realm!

He did not open his eyes in a hurry.
Instead, he quietly perceived his current condition.
He was no longer guiding the flow of his Spiritual Power at this moment, but his Spiritual Power continued to flow through his Nine Major Spiritual Points.
It was gurgling happily like a little stream, unceasingly executing the Microcosmic Orbit in an endless cycle.
That was a sign that he had become a Spirit Creek Realm Master.

Unless he died, exhausted his Spiritual Power, or had his Spiritual Points destroyed, the Spiritual Power in his body would never stop flowing throughout his body from now onward.

Slowly opening his eyes, he lifted a hand and activated a little bit of his Spiritual Power.
A faint but radiant light surged from the palm of his hand.
It was the light of his Spiritual Power.
However, his Spiritual Power currently gave him a very different feeling from how it had been in the past.
His Spiritual Power reserves might not have increased from before, but it was unmistakably more destructive than before.

He was acutely aware of that fact.
His strength had more than doubled compared to before.
If he were to fight that tiger again right now, he was confident he could defeat it even without the help of a Spirit Talisman Paper.

After pondering over it for a moment, he understood the reason behind it.
He might have unlocked many Spiritual Points in the past, but he could only utilize the Spiritual Power in one of his Spiritual Points at a time.
Once the Spiritual Power in that Spiritual Point was spent, then he could only utilize the Spiritual Power in another Spiritual Point.
He was unable to activate two or more Spiritual Points at a time.

Now that his Nine Major Spiritual Points were connected and his power flowed through the Microcosmic Orbit, the Spiritual Power he could utilize was no longer limited to the Spiritual Power of one Spiritual Point.
He was now capable of utilizing the Spiritual Power of all nine Spiritual Points.

While the difference in destructive power might not be as much as nine times more powerful, there was still a two-fold increase in power at least.
As for his tenth Spiritual Point… Although he had unlocked his it, it lay within the scope of the Second Order Spirit Creek Realm.
It was temporarily not connected to the same system as the nine other Spiritual Points in the First Order Spirit Creek Realm, so it could not give him much of an increase in terms of power.
At the most, it would only increase the total reserves of his Spiritual Power in the future.

In conclusion, the Spirit Creek Realm was a process of transforming one’s cultivation from a quantitative change to a qualitative change.
Once a person unlocked enough Spiritual Points and allowed their Spiritual Power to penetrate these Spiritual Points and activate the Microcosmic Orbit, their strength would increase in huge leaps and bounds! Prior to this change, the largest effect of achieving Enlightenment was increasing their Spiritual Power reserves.
It would not directly increase their strength.

That was basic common sense in cultivation.
Every cultivator would have a Senior teaching them in the beginning stages of their cultivation.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye had been stranded in the Spirit Creek Battlefield without any support.
There was nobody who could teach him all of this.
Thus, he could only rely on himself to explore and gain insight into these matters.
