The stream of Aether Energy soon reached the first acupoint Sol had ever opened in his right leg.
Overall, there were 2360 acupoints in the human body. They were all distributed throughout the body unevenly, but most were in the four limbs and the torso, more so the torso.
After the stream of Aether Energy entered the first open acupoint and circulated, it was like a well being filled to the brim before overflowing. The overflowed Aether Energy then moved along the four hundred and sixty-two ridians to the second acupoint, and the sa thing repeated.
This continued until the stream of Aether Energy left Sol’s right leg and moved onto his left leg. There, it encountered its latest obstacle in its path.
Like a miner working hard day and night to excavate a cave, this stream of Aether Energy circulated clockwise as it worked to open this closed acupoint.
This circulation continued for a few breaths’ worth of ti before the stream of Aether Energy was expended.
However, right behind it was another stream that picked up where it left off.
But after this second stream was expended, Sol decided to stop here as he had recovered his exhausted Aether Energy.
As of now, he had to work on a schedule basis to maximize his ti in seclusion.
Firstly, he wanted to work on his Martial Arts. After that was his Master’s Runic Techniques, and then his actual cultivation. In between his cultivation sessions, he planned to concoct dicinal pills that could supplent his cultivation.
The main reason he wanted to start with his Martial Arts was because of the enlightennt he had just received due to Mar-Du’s words.
Sol suddenly stood up and took a step forward.
The Aether Energy inside his open acupoints moved through his four hundred and sixty-two ridians and entered his twelve main ridians.
Following a certain circulation thod, this torrential stream of Aether Energy circulated towards Sol’s feet as he took the step.
Everything took ti to explain, but the execution of this Movent Skill was instantaneous.
Sol’s figure disappeared from his position and appeared eight ters away.
He had just used his Heavenly Steps, formally known as Heavenly Stride.
After performing his Heavenly Steps once, Sol paused, and a contemplative look appeared on his face. So ti later, he said.
"I knew it, my enlightennt wasn’t wrong. I was always subconsciously viewing the circulation of Aether Energy during the execution of my Heavenly Steps and the exertion of my physical body as separate movents."
Mar-Du’s words had created a distinct line between Aether Energy cultivation and Fleshly Body cultivation, when placed in the context of this Movent Skill, Sol was able to realize that he was also separating the two.
However, they should be combined into one.
Sol abruptly took another step, and his figure vanished from view only to reappear sixteen ters away instead of eight ters.
A wide grin spread across Sol’s face.
"I made a breakthrough."
Beginner Mastery Realm, Mastery Realm, Greater Mastery Realm, Completion Realm, Perfection Realm.
These were the levels of mastery for any Martial Art, Skill, or Martial Skill, and Sol had made a breakthrough from the Beginner Mastery Realm to the Mastery Realm.
However, Sol suddenly sighed dejectedly.
"If only I had made this progress earlier, I would have been able to dodge Elder Hyun-Joo’s sword slash, and I wouldn’t have gotten so injured. I would have also been able to use my Movent Skill in the sand and dodge the Sand King’s attacks."
Sol clenched his fists. This just increased his determination to focus on his Immortal Cultivation more.
The results he achieved while using his two bloodlines, he was going to make it so he could achieve them with his Immortal Cultivation only.
Sol was about to take a step forward and use his Heavenly Steps once more; however, his foot suddenly paused just inches from the ground.
His eyes flickered incessantly, and Sol decided to slow down his activation of his Movent Skill to a snail’s pace.
Afterward, Sol placed his foot on the ground and started walking.
However, a blurry afterimage was left where he had been standing.
In truth, Sol wasn’t walking at a normal speed. If a normal person were here, they would beco baffled while watching Sol zoom around the cave.
To them, he seed to be running, leaving blurs in his wake, but in actuality, he was simply walking at a frightening speed.
Sol had used his Movent Skill to the extre, but now he was compressing it as low as he could.
This was what was causing this strange afterimage effect. He wasn’t as fast as if he were to use it to its extre, but the level of control he would need to do this was absurdly difficult for any other Mortal Realm cultivator.
Little Abdu opened his eyes and glanced at Sol with a strange look in his eyes.
’This brat hasn’t even started his seclusion, but here he is making breakthrough after breakthrough.’
In reality, Sol performing this feat wasn’t sothing soone in the Mastery Realm of this Movent Skill could accomplish.
Sol suddenly stopped using his Heavenly Steps, and a skeptical look erged on his face. He then blurted out.
"Did I just make another breakthrough?"
Sol suddenly took a step forward, and he traveled twenty ters in one go.
A dumbfounded look appeared on Sol’s face as he couldn’t believe what was happening.
"Is this even possible? How did I manage to make a breakthrough back-to-back?"
What’s even more, this Movent Skill was made for cultivators in the Spiritual Realm, but the delicate control of Aether Energy and its thod of creation could rank it as a Heavenly Realm Movent Skill!
After being in a daze for a mont, Sol recovered, and he rubbed his nose.
"Ha-ha, perhaps I might be more of a genius than I thought!"
Little Abdu rolled his eyes at that and then turned away to go back to his nap. anwhile, Sol’s shaless laughter continued to echo out in the cave.
"Sol?"
Sol’s laughter got stuck in his throat as he heard a familiar voice outside.
With a step, Sol appeared at the cave entrance next to Little Abdu, and his eyes lit up when he saw that it was indeed who he thought it was.
"Brother Yoon-Jae!"
Yoon-Jae was internally taken aback by Sol’s speed, but he looked at him weirdly and asked.
"Why are you yelling all of a sudden?"
