Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 350: Seven Orifices

After many years of cultivation, Su Zimo had already made it a habit to only cultivate the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness at night.

He had already attained greater mastery of the Organs Refinement section and had been cultivating the Orifice Clearing section for some time now.

The orifices referred to the seven on a person’s head!

For the majority of races, their heads were the most mysterious, important and sensitive part of their bodies. Most beings would die instantly if their heads suffered immense damage.

Legend has it that the Purple Residence, Heavenly Palace and Immortal Stage acupoints were located on the head...

Even the Essence Spirit of the immortal Dao and the Yin Spirit of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness were located in the depths of the head.

However, that was a point Su Zimo had not reached given his current cultivation realm.

In the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, the cultivation of the head came after cultivation of the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow and five organs – it was also a clear indication of the importance of the head.

The seven orifices of the head referred to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and tongue.

The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness had to be cultivated one after another without any mistake in the order.

If the five organs were not in harmony, the seven orifices could not open up; one could only clear their orifices after refining their organs.

By refining their organs, one could produce the essence qi of their organs, the so-called demonic qi.

Once the five organs resonated with the seven orifices, demonic qi would naturally pass through the orifices as well.

Between the five organs and seven orifices, the liver corresponded to the eyes; the kidney to the ears; the lungs to the nose; the spleen to the mouth and the heart to the tongue.

In other words, the essence qi of the five organs would clear through their corresponding orifices.

The nurturing of demonic qi to flow through the orifices would allow one to attain lesser mastery of the Orifice Clearing section. At that point, they would be able to reach the realm of universal sight and hearing.

Prior to this, the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow would correspond to the five organs and form a minor Heavenly Cycle within the body.

After clearing the seven orifices, the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow, five organs and seven orifices will tri-correspond and form a major Heavenly Cycle within the body!

At that point, greater mastery of the Orifice Clearing section will be achieved!

By cultivating to that point, it would also mean that one would be able to form a demon Inner Core.

Orifice Clearing did not merely mean that one would be able to strengthen their vision, hearing and the five senses. More than that, it was for the seven orifices to connect through to the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow as well as the five organs, raising the strength of one’s physique.

Furthermore, after one attained greater mastery of the Orifice Clearing section, a major Heavenly Cycle would be formed in their body. That way, Su Zimo’s body would be more coordinated and harmonious!

He would be agile as a swallow while carrying the weight of a bear. His movements and stability would coexist, melding toughness and gentleness. Meek as a virgin, he could burst like a rabbit. Every single movement of his four limbs would gather his entire body’s power into a single spot, causing his strength to rise immensely!

At the end of the Orifice Clearing section, Die Yue left a sentence.

“At this point of your cultivation, you would have perfected your technique and cultivated universal sight and hearing. With the help of the spirit perception, you will be able to avoid danger without seeing or smelling it. Be it whether you’re moving, sitting, or lying down, your heart will be able to sense and you will be able to defeat your enemies within ten feet with your bare hands!”

Each time he saw the statement Die Yue left behind, Su Zimo felt his blood boil.

In other words, that sentence meant that he was invincible within ten feet!

Furthermore, Su Zimo believed that the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness truly did possess such a capability.

Although he had not attained greater mastery of the Orifice Clearing section, if he were to release his blood qi without hiding his demonic cultivation, there were truly not many cultivators who could go against him in an all-out battle within ten feet.

Su Zimo arrived at the slope above the cave and swallowed a perfect-grade Blood Flesh Elixir. Assuming a lotus position, he closed his eyes and rich demonic qi gushed out from his breathing and exhalation, gathering around his body.

Before entering the ancient battlefield, Su Zimo had already cleared four of the seven orifices – his ears, tongue and nose.

Right now, he was cultivating on clearing his mouth.

For demon beasts like the Heaven Spirit Lizard and the Essence Devouring Frog, their tongues were their greatest killing weapons. They could kill their enemies in a single breath and their strength would naturally increase immensely after clearing their tongue orifice.

However, Su Zimo was a human after all and the increase to his combat strength after clearing his ears, nose and tongue orifices was not that obvious.

But, the mouth orifice was different.

Su Zimo had cultivated a sound secret skill – Thunderclap Kill.

Even though it was an incomplete version, Su Zimo’s breathing was long and his lungs were strong. Once he cleared his mouth and nose orifices, the might of Thunderclap Kill was bound to increase further!

That was a true killing technique and it was also a trump card for Su Zimo.

On the slope, demonic qi surged into the sky, emanating a terrifying aura.

If anyone were to see this, they would be shocked to see a vaguely visible human sitting in the midst of that thick demonic qi.

At the borders of the ancient battlefield, there were almost no ancient living beings or demon beasts that could injure Night Spirit. Naturally, that also meant that only a rare few of them could hurt Su Zimo.

Most demon beasts chose to avoid the mountain when they sensed that formidable demonic qi.

A night passed and not a single demon beast showed up around the cave.

When morning arrived, Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and the rumbling demonic qi reentered his body through his nose and mouth.

He opened his eyes and rose. When he stretched, his tendons and bones echoed at the same time with a series of crisp cracks.

It was extremely bright.

By the time Su Zimo returned to the cave, Ji Yaoxue and the others were already awake.

“I told everyone else about our decision. We’ll head out 10 days from now,” Ji Yaoxue came forward and said.

“Alright.”

Su Zimo nodded.

The cultivators grabbed some food casually and hurried to make good use of time to cultivate.

It was the same for Su Zimo as well.

The moment he entered the ancient battlefield yesterday, he felt his fourth meridian surfacing vaguely. Coupled with that massive battle, it would probably take a few more days at most for him to unlock his fourth spirit meridian completely!

During this period of time, Si Yutang took a walk outside and upon returning, said with a serious tone, “This cave is really well hidden. Even after last night, there are no signs of birds or beasts nearby.”

Most people did not have any reaction when they heard that. However, some of them looked at Su Zimo thoughtfully.

For the next few days, Su Zimo continued to head out at night and cultivated his mouth orifice. In the day, he would be in the cave, absorbing spirit qi to unlock his fourth spirit meridian.

On the seventh day, a loud bang echoed from Su Zimo’s body.

Boom!

Beneath his green robes, the fourth spirit meridian shone brightly and was crystal clear. Within it, spirit energy gushed, producing the sound of a tsunami wave.

He was now a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the seventh day!

On the eighth day, Su Xiaoning reached late-stage Foundation Establishment.

On the ninth day, Leng Rou and little fatty unlocked their fourth spirit meridian as well.

The few of them had the lowest cultivation realm. After entering the ancient battlefield, they benefited the most from the immensely rich spirit qi and were the first ones to break through.

On the tenth day, someone else broke through.

Ji Chengtian of Ethereal Peak unlocked his sixth spirit meridian!

Starting from the fourth spirit meridian, it was increasingly difficult to unlock further meridians. In fact, many cultivators were stuck at three meridian Foundation Establishment for their entire lives without being able to advance.

There were a few reasons why Ji Chengtian was the first among the five meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators to break through.

In part, it was because he had accumulated enough resources and built up a strong foundation.

Next, it was thanks to the secret skill of Ethereal Peak, Ethereal Foundation Establishment.

Most importantly, he had a close brush with death in that battle 10 days ago. That triggered the potential of life from deep within his body, allowing him to have his current breakthrough.

After 10 days, Su Zimo’s group’s strength had increased.

As such, everyone’s confidence in the expedition towards the ancient ruins increased as well.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Su Zimo waved and dispersed the array formation of the cave, declaring in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”
