Cultivating Three Paths, Theory of Aperture Refinement (5.2K-word Chapter, Seeking monthly subscriptions)_3

Translator: 549690339

After cultivating the aperture refinement technique, your stagnant physical cultivation began to rise again.

At forty-two: While corporeal refinement strategy can enhance your strength, it is dangerous and protracted. It took you a year to refine the first aperture, but while refining the second, a small miscalculation led to the destruction of your body and death.

[Life simulation ended.]

Pei Xuanjing remained silent for a long time after seeing these simulation results.

Although the life simulation ended in death as usual, it offered significant gains.

No matter what had happened before, for Pei Xuanjing, the most important thing was the events of the last few years of the life simulation.

At least he found a path of cultivation and didn’t feel like a headless fly crashing into everything, as before.

“An aperture refining technique?” He repeated the term silently.

Actually, after reviewing countless manuals and techniques, he already had some ideas about his future cultivation path.

Based on the information he’d gathered, martial arts cultivation can be divided into two routes: refining essence and refining Qi.

The so-called refining essence is physical cultivation, which focuses on a martial artist’s body; Qi refers to a martial artist’s inner Qi, essence Qi.

All martial artists, regardless of their methods of cultivation, generally follow these two paths.

If we divide humans into essence, Qi, and spirit, there should be a third cultivation route: refining the spirit. But for Pei Xuanjing, this route surpasses his current level, so he has no precise grasp of it yet.

He hypothesized that the way of refining spirit might be related to the true intent of martial arts.

Following this speculation, there should be three routes after breaking through the first-grade realm: rafinina                   rafinincr          ant-I rafinincr tha cnirif

So, the aperture-refining technique should be the way of refining essence that Pei Xuanjing conjectured, which is the way of the body.

In his opinion, any of the three paths could lead to a breakthrough into the first-grade realm if one reaches a certain threshold.

“I wonder how far Master Sanfeng got?” Pei Xuanjing thought curiously.

Even now, he regretted that the illusion vanished too quickly, so he didn’t have the chance to explore and seek enlightenment.

[Simulation ended, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]

[First: Martial arts realm at age forty-two.] [Second: Fighting experience at age forty-two.]

[Third: Shenxiao Jade Clear Secret Scroll.]

Although Pei Xuanjing really wanted to get the Shenxiao Jade Clear Secret Scroll, when the scroll appeared before him this time, he decisively chose the first option, temporarily setting aside his longing for this skill.

Because, as seen from this life simulation, the value of the secret scroll for the current Pei Xuanjing was actually not high.

On the contrary, the first reward was the most suitable choice for Pei Xuanjing, because at the age of forty-two in the life simulation, he had already successfully refined the aperture.

After making his choice, a lot of information appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s mind.

At the same time, the true Qi in his body began to operate quickly. Relying on the information in his mind, he carefully manipulated the true Qi in his body and began refining the first aperture.

With the additional experience in his mind, Pei Xuanjing’s refining process was smoothly completed without danger. After spending several two-hour periods, he finally successfully refined the aperture.

However, the true Qi in his body was tremendously consumed. Even after consuming heavenly elemental elixirs several times, he still didn’t have much left.

Still, the satisfying result was worth it.

When Pei Xuanjing threw a punch, the true Qi in front of him stagnated. With numerous sounds of air exploding, the massive force seemed to have blanked the space in front of him.

“This punch was ten percent stronger than before,” Pei Xuanjing exclaimed.

At his level, every bit of increase in physical strength requires enormous effort. The result of just refining the first aperture was this extraordinary, filling him with joy.

After half a month of rest, with his spirit restored, Pei Xuanjing seized the opportunity to launch the second life simulation while the iron was still hot.

[Taoyun: 136,123 points.]

[Do you wish to use the Life Simulator? Using once consumes 100,000 Taoyun points.]

“Yes!”

[Life Simulation Starting:]

At thirty-two: Zhao Baiyang climbed the mountain… you defeated him but failed to kill him…

At thirty-three: You entered the palace… Secured the supreme skill “Innate Gang Qi”, then left.

At thirty-four: After leaving the Zhenwu Sect, you encountered the attack of the Emperor of Fengdu… you defeated him… but he managed to escape…

At thirty-five: You… widely disseminated hero invites… Obtaining Shenxiao Jade Clear Secret Scroll…

At thirty-six: You… then integrated the supreme skill “Innate Gang Qi” into Shenxiao Thunder Gang Qi, transforming it into Innate Thunder Gang Qi.

At thirty-seven: You went to Dragon Tiger Mountain and fought with the Elder Taoist, ending in a draw…

At forty-two: You perfected your Innate Thunder Gang Qi, but you misstepped during aperture refinement and your body collapsed and died.

[Your life in this simulation has ended.]

” …” Pei Xuanjing was silent for a while after reviewing this life simulation. He was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

All he could do was sigh in admiration that those hailed as the best of the martial world by Bai Xiaosheng were indeed extraordinary and possessed formidable strength and techniques.

He initially thought that with his successful aperture refinement leading to significantly improved strength, he could easily defeat Zhao Baiyang of the Mire Sect, the Emperor of Fengdu, or the Elder Taoist of the Dragon Tiger Mountain in the life simulation.

Unfortunately, the results were completely different; he only managed to defeat Zhao Baiyang and the Emperor of Fengdu but couldn’t kill them, allowing them to escape unharmed.

He was very curious about the strength of the Mire Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang. He even doubted the authenticity of defeating Zhao Baiyang in the life simulation.

And regarding the Elder Taoist with profound strength, Pei Xuanjing had faced him as an equal in several simulations and still faced the same result. He was speculation about the extent of the Taoist’s martial arts, wondering if they would still be on par in the next life simulation.

“The world of martial arts is really profound! Bai Xiaosheng•s supreme rankings in the martial world aren’t simple at all!” Pei Xuanjing thought..
