Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 5

The Jade Orchid, a fourth-grade heavenly treasure in the mortal realm, was not even worth mentioning in the eyes of Yan Chutian in the past. But now, he had not even stepped on the path of cultivation. If he had a Jade Orchid, he could use it to become a true cultivator!

But now is not the time to think about it. Quickly getting rid of the Jade Orchid, Yan Chutian packed up and returned to the cave. As for the Purple-Eyed Bear, Yan Chutian could not let him follow him, so he could only leave him. After all, he couldn't control it for long. If it suddenly lost control, it would be a disaster for him.

As he rushed into the cave, Zhang Chen was still unconscious, leaning against the corner of the cave. Yan Chutian advanced and carefully removed the tattered bandage on his forehead. He squeezed out the juice from the Blood Overflowing Grass and picked out some softer Blood Overflowing Grass leaves to cover his wound.

After bandaging his wound again, Yan Chutian finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then he sat quietly beside Zhang Chen, waiting for him to wake up.

While waiting, Yan Chutian also pondered in his heart. He had not expected the Heaven Realm to extend their hands to this mortal world. And the reason for this, without thinking, was to revive that ancient ferocious beast.

One of the conditions for the resurrection of the Ancient Corpse Beast was a large amount of human flesh, and a large number of humans or weak cultivators in the mortal world were definitely excellent choices.

But the situation is very bad. The lackeys of the Heaven Realm roamed the mortal world, and he did not possess the strength he had when he was alive. If they knew, the situation would become extremely dangerous!

So he understood that his name Yan Chutian could only be buried deeply for now. At least before he had sufficient strength, he could only act on behalf of Yan Chu. But this is not entirely bad news. At least the Heaven Realm could send their minions down from the Heaven Realm, so he could naturally use that path to return to the Heaven Realm.

As long as he could uncover the conspiracy of the Heaven Realm before the Ancient Beast was revived, it was still not too late!

Making up his mind, Yan Chutian's originally rather empty state of mind quickly became resolute. At this moment, Zhang Chen, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly coughed violently. A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and splattered in the corner of the cave.

The blood he coughed out was deep red in color. Clearly, it was blood that had accumulated for a long time. After coughing up blood, Zhang Chen's skin looked much better. He turned his head slightly and opened his eyes slightly to look at Yan Chutian in front of him.

"Little Chu ... uhuk uhuk, Uncle Chen apologizes for involving you ..."

Zhang Chen coughed as he spoke intermittently. This caused Yan Chutian to hurriedly shake his head repeatedly, and then he took out a shiitake mushroom from his chest and gave it to Zhang Chen.

"Uncle Chen, you must eat. With your current condition, you need more food."

"But ..." Zhang Chen hesitated. He understood that he needed to eat, but what about Yan Chu?

Yan Chutian, who knew what Zhang Chen was thinking, smiled gently. He then took out a jade box from Qiankun's bag and opened the corner. He smiled at Zhang Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, you don't have to worry about me. I have this spiritual medicine. Not only can it overcome my hunger problem, but it can also open up spiritual veins and step into cultivation. "

"Enter to cultivate?"

Zhang Chen was stunned. He then thought of something and could not help but shake his head. "Little Chu, back then, Old Master found so many spiritual medicines and used so many methods, but he still cannot help you become a cultivator. It's better if you don't push yourself. Don't hurt yourself!"

Yan Chutian could not explain clearly. After all, he could not say that he was not Yan Chu, but Yan Chutian. Otherwise, not to mention whether Uncle Chen would believe it, if he trusted him, how would he interact with him? After all, due to his rebirth, the real Yan Chu was already dead.

"Then ... fine."

Zhang Chen looked at Yan Chu's persistence and did not want to refute Yan Chu's wishes, so he could only nod helplessly. According to him, as long as Yan Chu failed again, he should be able to wake up completely, right?

After which, when Zhang Chen started eating the mushrooms, Yan Chutian sat cross-legged in front of the cave. He held the half-foot-long Jade Orchid in his hand and sat cross-legged in meditation.

In his previous life, his talent was extremely high, and he was born with the Spiritual Constitution. Furthermore, he was born in the Heaven Realm, which was an excellent environment. Thus, he did not need any external items to enter cultivation.

But now, all the conditions of his previous life were gone. The only thing he had was an experience he remembered in his mind.

With the experience in his previous life, it was not difficult for him to feel the dantian within his body. But even if he could sense it, with his usual physique, it was too difficult for him to open his first spiritual meridians. He could only rely on spiritual medicine, the Jade Orchid.

Dantian was the beginning of cultivation, and also its foundation. The so-called Realm Opening Channel was the opening of spiritual meridians in the Dantian. Spiritual meridians can absorb and store heaven and earth spiritual energy. That's very important.

The Nature Opening Channel was not accurately divided into small realms. This was because a Channel Opening Realm cultivator had to continuously open spiritual meridians in his body. If he could open 99 spiritual meridians and then open his main meridians, he would surpass the Channel Opening Realm and step into the next realm, Spirit Transformation.

If one had to compare who was stronger or weaker in the Channel Opening Realm, one could only compare based on the number of spiritual meridians opened. After all, the more spiritual meridians were opened, the more spiritual energy could be absorbed and stored. The more spiritual energy one's body receives, the stronger it becomes.

Walking on the path of cultivation again, Yan Chutian knew that the difficulty of the Channel Opening Realm was the opening of the first spiritual meridians, as well as the thirty-three, sixty-six, and ninety-nine spiritual meridians. So, there were some people who used this to reluctantly divide the Realm of the Channel Openers into realms.

Returning to the main topic, after sensing the dantian on his body, Yan Chutian did not hesitate and directly bit the Jade Orchid in his hand. When he swallowed the Jade Orchid, a familiar stream of heat once again appeared on his body. It was a hot stream of Spirit Energy formed by an elixir. Faintly, this stream of heat flowed towards his dantian.

At this moment, Yan Chutian became even more serious. He was constantly using his mind to direct the flow of heat towards a certain location in his dantian. It was the location where he wanted to open the first spiritual meridian. He was unable to open the first spiritual meridians and could only rely on the continuous impact of the heat flow of spiritual energy.

However, when he actually opened it, Yan Chutian realized how hindered his body was. The hot stream of spiritual energy from this part of the Jade Orchid was only able to open up a third of the first spiritual meridians!

From the looks of it, even if he were to use this part of the Jade Orchid, he could barely open three spiritual meridians.

When Yan Chutian swallowed the last part of the Jade Orchid and directed a hot stream of spiritual energy into his dantian, he only managed to open three spiritual meridians. With the opening of the three spiritual meridians, he could finally be considered a cultivator. However, this cultivation level was very close to zero. He could only sigh at the strength of his body in his previous life. Even if he had a Heavenly Treasure right now, it was still much inferior.
