Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Fortunately, my cultivation is still weak. Otherwise, I would have lost opportunity to forge the best foundation for my body", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.

Zhan Chen felt he had received blessing in the disguise of disaster. It was true that he had suffered for the last four years but it also meant that he couldn't cultivate to any higher levels in these past years.

He was still at the first stage of Meridian opening realm as he was unable to progress any further in these past four years. The profound path of dual cultivation emphasized that one must built his foundation from the entry stage of meridian opening realm.

There were total seven stages in meridian opening realm. Every stage was like a natural chasm in itself. Every human had fifty six meridian in their body and they were hidden in every corner of human body. One can open up a set of meridians in each stage of Meridian opening realm.

Every stage of Meridian opening realm had a mystical connection with each other. One could only open up the same number of meridians in each stage of Meridian opening realm. The true meaning was if one opened up three meridians in first stage, then he could only open three meridians in further stages. Only if one could open up eight meridians in first stage of Meridian opening realm, then only he could open up eight meridians in all seven stages and open up all the fifty six meridians at the completion of Meridian opening realm.

But opening up all the fifty six meridian was a dream which had never become true. Even with Zhan Chen's past experience, he had never heard of anyone who could open up all the fifty six meridians.

A ordinary cultivator could open up three to four meridians in the first stage of Meridian opening realm. It was true for most of the cultivator in this world. As for the ones who could open up more than four meridians were considered as geniuses. In his past life, Zhan Chen managed to open up seven meridians in the first stage of Meridian opening realm. It managed to send ripples across the world.

In this life Zhan Chen managed to open up four meridians which would have limited his progress in later stages of cultivation. But the Profound path of dual cultivation book claimed that it could forge a supreme body with which one could open up all the eight meridians. A look of anticipation appeared in the eyes of Zhan Chen as he thought to start his cultivation.

Zhan Chen asked a maid to send Little Tao to his room. Little Tao came over quickly as soon as she learned about Zhan Chen's order. Zhan Chen ordered her to send every men away from his courtyard. He didn't want anyone to find out about his recovery. So, he could only send everyone away.

Zhan Chen walked over as soon as he saw the departure of everyone. He pushed open his door and walked towards courtyard. The morning sun bathed him with it's golden rays and a smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face.

"Young master, you can walk finally", Little Tao shouted with excitement. Zhan Chen smiled at her and asked her to not let anyone come closer.

He stretched his body a bit and then sat dawn cross legged. Golden sun rays fell on him as he sat under the open roof of the courtyard.

He recalled the divine technique written in the book of Profound path of dual cultivation.

'Creation is made of Yin and Yang. Moon is Yin, sun is Yang. Absorb the tyranny of sun and make the celestial body of Yang.

Nature made the man as Yang. Cultivate the celestial body of Yang and nourish it with the gentle yin. The sacred path will show you the way towards the divine.'

Zhan Chen recalled the introductory technique written in the book of Profound path of dual cultivation which was named as 'Celestial Yin Yang sutra'.

He tried to guide the energy of sun into his body and circulate it in the described manner. The pathway described was complex and it took some time for him to identify the pathway.

Energy of sun entered his body and Zhan Chen felt hot all over his body. The temperature inside his body gradually grew and Zhan Chen found it unbearable to tolerate.

He greeted his teeth and persisted in his attempt. The morning sun gradually shed it's all gentleness and glowed more fiercely as time passed. Bead of sweat pored down from the head of Zhan Chen as he got drenched in sweat.

Little Tao was clenching her skirt as he saw the cultivating Zhan Chen. The idea of wiping the sweat of his young master came to her mind but he quickly suppressed her impulse as she knew that one should never disturb a person while he was cultivating.

Zhan Chen constantly attracted the energy of sun and circulated it in the described illusory path. He found the heat unbearable but he still persisted. When he felt like he couldn't tolerate it more, a change appeared inside his body.

A indistinct symbol which was engraved on his upper chaste glowed faintly. Zhan Chen recognized it as the same symbol which was inside his mind.

It absorbed the excess amount of energy from his body and the made the heat less unbearable to him. Zhan Chen felt surprised but he quickly calmed his wandering mind and cultivated.

The energy from sun circulated all over his body and it concentrated towards his dantian region. It left him astonished as energy concentration in dantian was the characteristics of True essence realm which was the third stage of cultivation.

Zhan Chen still cultivated as he had no doubt about the techniques of Evil emperor. The energy inside his body gradually concentrated and the symbol in his chest region glowed. A faint shape of a illusory symbol appeared on his dantian.
