In the room, Xiao Ming's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a slow breath escaped from his throat as he murmured to himself, "Saint Zhao Hua..."
As the murmurs faded, Xiao Ming fully regained clarity after a moment. His gaze immediately fell upon his right palm, where a faint golden glow emanated, resembling metal.
Concentrating his mind inward, he explored the interior of his hand and soon discovered several hidden and delicate meridians that seemed to have been newly opened.
These meridians were interconnected in a peculiar cycle, appearing incredibly mystical.
Observing these intricate meridians, Xiao Ming pondered for a moment, recalling the routes of meridian circulation in his mind. These looping meridians occupied the most crucial positions.
In other words, without the guidance of these looping meridians, forcibly executing the Great Heaven Creation Palm would only result in the accumulation of vast energy in his palm, unable to break through and manifest.
The intense pain Xiao Ming had previously experienced was caused by the so-called Golden Spirit Saliva refining and transforming his palm, effectively connecting the meridians within. If he skipped this refining process, even if he had mastered the Great Heaven Creation Palm, he would likely hesitate to display it.
Forcing the execution would be akin to the gas in an increasingly expanding container, eventually causing the container to explode. At that point, the entire arm of the cultivator would likely be completely shattered!
'Impressive indeed, to think that a powerhouse like Saint Zhao Hua could create such a unique technique. Within the human body, there are thousands upon thousands of meridians, with some hidden meridians being endless. It is not a simple task to explore and open up useful meridians from among them,' Xiao Ming marveled, followed by a smile. He leaped off the bed and stood upright in the room.
'Let's see how powerful it is.'
The Dou Qi within his body began to circulate slowly along the memorized meridian route in his mind.
In the beginning, due to the complexity of the route, Xiao Ming took cautious measures and circulated his Dou Qi at a relatively slow pace.
Thanks to his careful approach, he completed the meridian circulation on his first attempt.
And in that instant of completing the circulation, Xiao Ming's arm trembled, and a brilliant golden glow suddenly burst forth from his right palm.
Soon after, the Dou Qi within his body began to flow away like a tidal wave, and the direction of this outflow was precisely onto his right palm!
'What terrifying Dou Qi consumption!'
As Xiao Ming noticed the speed at which his Dou Qi was being depleted, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. The Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, when executed by Venerable Tian Huo, could rival a Tian Class Dou Technique, but the Dou Qi consumption was not as terrifying as that of the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Indeed, there seemed to be a difference between true Tian Class Dou Techniques and those that merely approached their level.
As more and more Dou Qi gathered in his palm, the dark golden glow grew stronger. After a moment, when the dark golden glow reached its peak, a drop of black light quietly emerged within the center of the golden glow.
With the appearance of the black light, a terrifying suction force surged forth, swiftly devouring all the surrounding dark golden glow, and the black light gradually expanded at that moment.
'This energy... If I continue to execute it, I might end up sleeping on the streets tonight...'
Sensing the increasingly massive energy in his hand, Xiao Ming chuckled and forcibly stopped the depletion of Dou Qi within his body. Then, he gently closed his palm.
As his palm closed, the walnut-sized black light trembled for a moment, gradually fading, and ultimately transforming back into Dou Qi, surging back into his body.
Feeling the immense Dou Qi restoring within him, his face revealed a satisfied expression.
Because the necessary preparations for cultivating the Great Heaven Creation Palm had been thoroughly laid out by the creator of this technique, Xiao Ming's mastery of this Tian Class Dou Technique far surpassed that of other techniques.
Moreover, the process of opening up useful meridians within the meridian system was a matter of creation from scratch. Although it was challenging, Xiao Ming now knew the location of these meridians, and creating a liquid similar to the Golden Spirit Saliva was not difficult.
Once the liquid was prepared, he could teach this technique to others, and as long as they understood the circulation of the meridians, they would be able to grasp it quickly as well.
The fact that the creator of the Great Heavenly Creation Palm, Saint Zhao Hua, was able to create a Tian Class Dou Technique that could be rapidly mastered truly lived up to the title of a Saint!
Taking a moment to reflect, Xiao Ming didn't immediately leave seclusion or prepare the liquid. Instead, he returned to his bed.
This was because a mechanical voice resounded in his mind.
[Ding! The simulator has been activated. It has detected that the host has one simulation opportunity. Would you like to start the simulation?]
'It's time for another simulation?'
Speaking of simulations, Xiao Ming missed out on many opportunities during his five months on Eastern Dragon Island, which was truly regrettable.
Although the chances of obtaining substantial improvements through the simulator were now low due to his increased strength, it didn't mean that simulations were unimportant. Even with a low probability, there was still a chance of obtaining something good.
[Ding! Would you like to start the simulation?]
'Start the simulation.'
