After choosing my weapon I went back to my room and finally sat down to fully read and comprehend Astral Transcendence.
I have to open my twelve meridians at the start followed by the eight hidden meridians and finally the twelve divergent meridians. Before I unlock the first twelve meridians are unlocked, I then have to open all seven of my chakras.
When I finish the rest I would be done with body tempering and enter Arcana Condensation.
I finished looking at the manual and sat in the lotus position in the middle of the room and started following the breathing technique required for me to open all my chakras in one go.
The astral plane knew all about the soul and chakras and I knew that the best time to open them was when you were a kid since the pineal gland, which was where the third eye chakra was located was naturally unblocked. Normally you had to open them one by one but the astral plane had the answers for everything when it came to things like this, I don't know who this manual was reserved for but I had a good idea.
"I need to visit the astral realm in the future, the place is just far too interesting. 'He' did say that if I was born in the astral plane I could have been a big figure. Well, I bet he expected me to be reincarnated but it's not like he will know."
Pushing those thoughts into the back of my mind I focused on the 7 signs of red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo, and violet. These were the 7 chakras of the body.
Root Chakra: located at the base of the spine gives me security and stability, making me fearless
Sacral Chakra: located below the navel where the dantian would be would govern how I experience sexuality, creativity, expressions, and emotions allowing one to discover the power of choice and create intimate relationships.
Solar Plexus Chakra: located in the abdomen and said to be the strongest by some while others say the root is responsible for confidence, and self-esteem and helps one feel in control of their life. This would also give me a boost to my strength and boost my already insane learning and comprehension.
Heart Chakra: located in the center of the chest and allows one to feel who they truly are and never let one falter.
Throat Chakra: located in the center of the neck and sets one free from fear of judgment and need for approval from others. If only the conceited and attention-seeking people could unlock this then they would take a major step in life and realize how dumb they were acting before but, oh well sucks to be them.
Third Eye Chakra: located in the middle of the eyebrows and boost one's perception, and awareness and allows one to connect to the soul. It gives one wisdom and insight. But the best ability in my opinion about this chakra is that it allows one to see the big picture and gives one the ability to see your blind spots huh...well that explains why assassinating those from the astral plane was impossible. I remember people setting up assassins for them to target people from the astral plane but they would omit them being from there from the report. I bet those fools died with endless regret.
Crown Chakra: located at the top of the head and gives one expectancy of one's true self, this along with the heart chakra would give me immunity from heart demons. Devil Heart Dao users are now completely useless against me lol.
After finishing the breathing technique I felt everything around me change. I could not explain the feeling but everything felt better. My senses, perception, and thinking ability were all boosted to the pinnacle and it would only increase as I increased my cultivation. I don't know how to explain it but I felt complete.
"Wow, I see why those at the peak put so much importance on the Seven Chakras, a shame that most of those never unlocked them and those that did took cycles to unlock all of them. How this ended up here still baffles me. Well, it's not like anyone in the family knows what it is so I'm not worried."
Standing up I started doing the movements of Astral Transcendence and doing them with the chakras open made the experience so profound that it almost couldn't be described in words. I felt the air breezing past my skin and my vision went slow motions and I practiced the arte, I had a complete understanding of what I was doing so I knew I was doing moves to perfection and I speeded up the movements.
Later on, my skin was heating up and I could feel the steam that was rising from my body, I ignored it and continued training when all of a sudden a pain stuck me. The pain was so sudden I fell midway in practice and felt an energy rush through me.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~" I screamed a howl of pain without restraint inwardly thanking myself for my cautiousness and foresight of activating the soundproof runes before I started otherwise my parents would be rushing in here right now.
After who knows how long I finally stopped the screaming and thought it was over when I felt something being opened inside my body, I looked inwardly and saw one of my twelve meridians finally opened. I looked at my body only to find myself covered in impurities but before I could even move my vision got blurry and I slipped into unconsciousness.

Opening my eyes I sat up and looked around only to find myself still in my room and on the floor. I don't know how much time had passed but it couldn't have been long since my position hadn't changed my door hadn't been broken down by my parents due to me being unresponsive.
"Guess I got a bit too ahead of myself." Laughing at myself for my stupidity, but not long since I took the steps necessary for this not to be ruined or disturbed as I sat up in pride and joy. I unlocked my first meridian!!!
Standing up I walked to the bathroom to take a shower. The impurities were still there and as for the mess on the floor, I can get the maids to clean it up.
After finishing my shower I went to the mirror to look at myself and I couldn't help but be impressed by the work of art in the mirror. My bone structure had changed making me look handsome with a hint of demonic charm and my skin was glowing and my slit scarlet eyes shines like rubies and my obsidian hair gained a shine to it. Looks like I'll be getting all the bitches. I wonder if grandfather will send me on a mission to set him up with the empress in the future? Nah he can get Everen for that while my father has potential in the dao of booty uncle has the most comprehension in that.
Shaking my head I walked to the bed and laid down to go to sleep. I was mentally tired from that training and from what I've seen from the arte it will be a while before I enter the next realm.
"The evolution should begin when I complete body tempering. I felt my blood surge when I opened my first meridian." I said as I closed my eyes and drifted into sleep.
