Chapter 31 - Meridian opening (1)

Something strange happened when he finished the trait fusion process, he expected the trait which was present on his soul would directly assimilate the phenomena like it did relics back on earth, instead it flew into the slit made of miniature golden runes on his forehead. 

What he didn't know was that, what happened was exactly perfect for him, the phenomena which was a physical object was exactly what the trait needed in order to physically manifest. 

Back in eternal heaven members of Heaven's Eye clan had to go into a slumber period that lasted for years in order to physically manifest. Horo's situation was special since his bloodline had evolved due to the perfect fusion with his mother's bloodline, his slumber had lasted much longer than others. 

His situation was even more special as he didn't have the complete bloodline he used to have and only had the eye related to his bloodline. He didn't even know if it still had all of its abilities because he didn't know how to actively use it yet, He still didn't even after making it a trait. He thought that maybe he needed to awaken it somehow, like he had to awaken his old bloodline, the eye also came with a trace of his old bloodline that resonated with his new one. 

"Well that was different" said Horo 

"Everything you do from this point forward will be different from the norm you previously knew on any world. Now let's continue before your family gets concerned father." Replied Alma 

She continued, "Use the meridian opening segment of your energy cultivation technique, and open as many meridians as you can before the sun goes down so you can get back to your family for dinner. 

Horo then began to cultivate the bright lightning technique again, but only the meridian opening part which wasn't exclusive to this technique, every energy cultivation technique came with a meridian opening part. It is used solely to condense spiritual energy potent enough to open meridians. The amount of meridians one can open depends on their talent and cultivation technique. 

Back in the world of cultivation It is proven that there are 16 main meridians, and 96 sub meridians. It is said there are hidden meridians as well , there has been claims of some experts  unlocking hidden meridians but none ever came forward to show proof. Also while there have been some experts who unlocked all 16 main meridians or all 96 sub meridians, it is known that no one has ever been able to unlock all of both. 

The most meridians any one has been able to open with the bright lightning technique is 13 main meridians and 65 sub meridians. 

Horo wondered would he be able to achieve what others have not been able to since he was cultivating a different energy that should be more miraculous than spiritual energy. 

As he circulated the meridian opening portion of the bright lightning technique, Horo could feel the new energy spirit mana condensing in a smooth form and passing through the bodily pathways know as meridians. 

The special, one of a kind energy easily maneuvered through the paths, starting with the ones in the upper body (torso) that led to the rest of his body, those were the 16 main meridians. 

This didn't mean the meridians were unlocked yet though. Meridians were like regular arteries and vessels until they were cleansed, reformed, and reinforced with spiritual energy, but in this case spirit mana, until they became akin to miniature worlds that could hold and allow massive amounts of energy to pass through. With each breakthrough the meridians would grow and advance as well, and in some cases they could become special meridians depending on opportunities, some people are gifted with special meridians from birth back in the cultivation world. 

Since Horo was using this new energy to cultivate he wasn't sure if the entire process would be the same, but he soon released it definitely wasn't. 

The spirit mana within the first couple of circulations began to act as if it was alive and began to actively restructure the pathways. 

First the energy quickly washed the pathways of all impurities, and then it pushed opened the ethereal walls and boundaries, that shackled the meridians and made them seem as casual parts of the body, which they normally were if cultivators or ancients hadn't discovered otherwise. 

As the ethereal boundaries were being opened , they were also being made more compatible with two kinds of elements, which were lightning and light due to the cultivation technique being used to open them. Extremely miniature runes, that are related to the technique, were being engraved in the meridians, but something else that had nothing to due with the technique was also happening.
