Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 240 Hand Shaoyang 3 Jiao Meridian

The melodious chimes echoed in the air, and everyone tensed up, staring intently in the direction from which the sound came, gripping their weapons tightly and circulating spiritual energy around them. However, the chimes gradually faded until they disappeared, and the surroundings returned to calm, but an unsettling silence permeated the air.

Jasmine took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and looked at her disciples with a firm gaze: "No matter how many unknown dangers lie ahead, our current cultivation must not be interrupted. Next, we will begin the cultivation of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian."

Jasmine's voice was calm yet powerful as she began to explain: "The Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian originates at the Guanchong acupoint on the ulnar side of the ring finger, ascends along the ulnar side of the ring finger to the back of the wrist, ascends between the ulna and radius, passes through the elbow, ascends along the outer side of the upper arm to the shoulder, intersects with the Foot Shaoyang Meridian, enters the supraclavicular fossa, distributes in the chest, disperses to the pericardium, passes through the diaphragm, and successively belongs to the upper, middle, and lower jiao. It corresponds to the body's qi transformation and water metabolism functions, just like the balancing force in the universe, regulating various bodily functions. It is a key meridian for maintaining the balance of yin and yang and the smooth flow of qi and blood in our body."

The disciples sat around Jasmine, listening intently and occasionally asking questions, engaging in lively discussions with her. As Yichen listened, he traced the pathways of the meridians on the ground with his fingers, silently reciting the names of the acupoints; Mengli closed her eyes, focusing her mind on her body, trying to sense the subtle energy fluctuations of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.

Zi Ling hid to the side, watching the others diligently cultivating, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Her repeated failed schemes had caused her to lose face in front of everyone. More importantly, she witnessed the growth and unity of her disciples under Jasmine's guidance, and felt the emptiness and loneliness within herself. Reflecting on her actions these past few days, she was filled with remorse.

"How could I have become like this..." Zi Ling murmured softly, her eyes filled with self-blame and confusion.

After a painful internal struggle, Zi Ling finally mustered her courage and slowly walked towards Jasmine. She stood before Jasmine, lowered her head, and said with a choked voice, "Jasmine, I was wrong. I was blinded by jealousy and desire, and did so many foolish things. I apologize to you, and to all the disciples. If you are willing, I hope to assist you in completing the teaching of the Twelve Meridians."

Jasmine looked at Ziling, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a relieved smile: "Ziling, I'm so glad you can recognize your mistakes. Let bygones be bygones. What we need now is to unite and explore the mysteries of the meridians together."

Jasmine's forgiveness brought tears to Ziling's eyes. She nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Jasmine. I will do my best to make up for my mistake."

So, Jasmine and Ziling joined forces to teach their disciples the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Ziling, drawing on her years of cultivation experience, explained meridian knowledge to the disciples from a different perspective, complementing Jasmine's teachings.

“Everyone, please pay attention. When practicing the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, you should focus on coordinating your breathing with your spiritual energy,” Zi Ling said earnestly. “When you inhale, imagine the pure energy in the universe flowing into your body along the Sanjiao Meridian, nourishing your internal organs; when you exhale, expel the turbid air and impurities from your body along the meridians.”

Following Zi Ling's guidance, the disciples tried it out and soon gained new insights. Yi Chen discovered that when he focused on coordinating his breathing with the energy of the Triple Burner Meridian, the flow of spiritual energy within his body became smoother, and the previously blocked energy nodes gradually opened up.

"It really works!" Yi Chen said excitedly. "I feel like I've taken another step forward in my control over the Triple Burner Meridian."

Jasmine smiled and nodded: "That's right, Elder Ziling is absolutely right. The Triple Burner Meridian is the channel for the body's energy and fluid metabolism. With proper breathing and spiritual guidance, its function can be better utilized."

Thanks to the combined efforts of Jasmine and Ziling, the disciples made rapid progress in their understanding and practice of the Triple Energizer Meridian. They not only mastered the pathways and mechanisms of the meridians, but also learned how to utilize the energy of the Triple Energizer Meridian to regulate bodily functions and enhance the efficiency of their practice.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of cultivation, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and huge cracks spread from the earth, emanating a pungent sulfurous smell and an eerie light. Immediately afterward, a deep roar came from underground, as if an ancient behemoth was about to awaken.

"What's going on?" Xiaofeng shouted in terror, his weapon trembling slightly.

Jasmine and Ziling exchanged a glance, their expressions turning grave. Jasmine quickly made a judgment: "Everyone, don't panic! Immediately circulate your spiritual energy to protect yourselves! There seems to be a powerful force about to erupt underground; we must be prepared to deal with it."

The disciples circulated their spiritual energy, forming a protective barrier around their bodies. Yi Chen and Meng Li stood together, nodding to each other in encouragement, their eyes revealing unwavering determination.
