Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 234 Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian

The competition in the martial arts arena had just ended, and the disciples were still immersed in the joy of victory when the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently. The pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, and a muffled roar came from afar, instantly putting everyone's nerves on edge. Jasmine's expression was grave as she quickly made a judgment: "Don't panic. Concentrate your spiritual energy to protect yourselves and be ready to deal with any unexpected situations." The disciples did as she was told, circulating their spiritual energy to form a protective barrier.

As the tremors gradually subsided, the unknown threat seemed to have temporarily lay dormant. Seeing that the crisis had eased somewhat, Jasmine drew everyone's attention back to their cultivation: "Classmates, although dangers lurk everywhere, cultivation cannot be interrupted. Next, we will explore the mysteries of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian."

Jasmine's gaze was firm as she spoke eloquently: "The Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian are internally and externally related. It begins at the Yinbai acupoint on the inner side of the big toe, ascends along the inner side of the lower leg, passes through the inner thigh, and finally reaches the abdomen. The spleen governs transportation and transformation, playing a coordinating role in the human body, much like the coordinating force in the universe. It balances the various functions of the body, transforming food and water into subtle substances, and transporting them to all parts of the body to nourish our life and the foundation of our spiritual practice."

The disciples sat around Jasmine, listening intently, afraid of missing a single detail. As Yichen listened, he used a twig to trace the pathways of the meridians on the ground, muttering incantations to try and deepen his memory; Mengli gently closed her eyes, placed her hands on her abdomen, and tried to feel the energy fluctuations of the spleen meridian within her body, her expression focused and devout.

Zi Ling watched all this, her heart filled with jealousy and resentment. Her schemes had all failed, infuriating her and driving her to madness. She gritted her teeth, muttering to herself, "Jasmine, don't be so smug. I won't let you get away with this so easily." Deciding to go all in, Zi Ling decided to take a desperate gamble. She secretly colluded with an evil force outside, offering a hefty reward, intending to create chaos and completely disrupt the disciples' cultivation of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian at a crucial moment.

Days passed, and under Jasmine's meticulous guidance, the disciples' understanding of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian deepened. One day, as everyone entered a crucial stage of cultivation, suddenly, shadowy figures swiftly attacked from all directions, instantly surrounding them. It turned out that the mysterious figures conspired with Zi Ling had arrived; they wore black robes, their faces concealed in shadow, and exuded an eerie aura.

"Oh no, enemies!" Xiaofeng shouted, quickly drawing his weapon and assuming a defensive stance.

Without a word, the mysterious figure rapidly formed hand seals, releasing a powerful disruptive energy. This energy, like a black torrent, assaulted the disciples' spiritual defenses, disrupting the energy flow in their spleen meridians and instantly plunging their cultivation into chaos. Many disciples, unable to withstand the pressure, turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Jasmine immediately channeled all her spiritual energy, creating a golden shield around everyone to temporarily block the mysterious man's attack. While defending, she shouted, "Don't panic! Calm your minds and focus on the energy of your spleen meridian! Don't be disturbed by external factors! The spleen meridian governs transformation and can harmonize the yin and yang balance within the body. We need to use it to stabilize our spiritual energy!"

At the same time, Jasmine sent a distress signal to the loyal elders of the sect. Soon, several elders arrived to provide support, joining the battle and fighting alongside Jasmine. In an instant, golden and black spiritual energy intertwined and collided fiercely, accompanied by continuous booming sounds.

"Ziling, you actually colluded with outsiders and committed such a treacherous act against the sect!" an elder angrily accused.

Zi Ling sneered, "Enough nonsense, today is the day Jasmine steps down, and none of you can stop her!"

The battle reached a fever pitch, with the mysterious figure's attacks becoming increasingly fierce, putting more and more pressure on Jasmine and the others. However, Jasmine remained calm, directing the elders' defense and counterattacks while keeping an eye on the disciples' cultivation progress.

"Listen up, everyone. Recall the method of cultivating the Spleen Meridian that I taught you. Focus your attention on the Yinbai acupoint, and then slowly guide the energy upwards along the meridian," Jasmine loudly instructed her disciples.

Yi Chen took a deep breath and, following Jasmine's instructions, focused his spiritual energy on the Yinbai acupoint on the inside of his big toe. He felt a warm power gathering there, then slowly ascending along the spleen meridian. As the energy flowed, the chaotic spiritual energy within his body gradually stabilized, and his originally pale face regained some color.

Mengli was also trying hard. She closed her eyes and integrated her connection with the elements of nature into the cultivation of her spleen meridian. She found that when she guided the harmonizing power of nature to resonate with the energy of her spleen meridian, the influence of interfering energy on her was significantly reduced.

Under Jasmine's guidance and the disciples' efforts, more and more people gradually stabilized their spiritual energy. They were no longer swayed by the mysterious person's interfering energy and began to focus on cultivating the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.

Seeing her disciples gradually recover, Jasmine felt somewhat relieved and decided to take the initiative. "Elders, we can no longer remain on the defensive. Let's launch a joint attack and repel these mysterious figures!"

The elders nodded in agreement, and together with Jasmine, they unleashed a powerful combined attack. Golden light converged, forming a massive beam of energy that shot towards the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure hastily tried to defend, but under this overwhelming attack, their defenses gradually crumbled.

"Retreat!" Seeing the situation was dire, the mysterious leader decisively ordered a retreat. The mysterious figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield.

The crisis was temporarily averted, and the disciples collapsed wearily to the ground, but their faces showed relieved smiles. They had not only successfully repelled the mysterious man's attack, but also gained a deeper understanding and insight into the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian during this crisis.

"Is everyone alright?" Jasmine asked each of her disciples with concern.

"Elder Jasmine, we are alright. Thanks to your guidance, we were able to overcome this crisis," the disciples replied one after another.

Jasmine smiled and nodded: "This crisis has made us realize that the path of cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles, but as long as we are united and focused on our cultivation, nothing can stop us. Next, we will continue to study the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian in depth to consolidate our cultivation results."

However, before everyone could recover, a strange bell sound came from afar, ethereal yet carrying a hint of chill, as if it came from another world. Everyone stood up and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

"What is that sound again?" Xiaofeng gripped his weapon tightly with tension.

Jasmine's expression turned serious: "I don't know, but it's definitely not good news. Everyone, get ready, it seems our troubles aren't over yet."

The disciples once again channeled their spiritual energy, standing ready for battle. What kind of danger lurked behind that mysterious bell sound?
