461 Sect Leader

After breaking through the ninth step, John immediately stepped onto the tenth, which tested his dantian talent. If his dantian compressions were too low, there was a threat of his dantian shattering unless he retreated. However, the pressure on his dantian was only great enough to threaten a ten dantian compression cultivator, which he eclipsed by two times.

The pressure was almost negligible, and John immediately stepped forward onto the eleventh step, which tested meridian talents. Meridian talents tested not only the strength of the meridians themselves, but their natural pathways. Meridians were incredibly complex and intricate, and each cultivator had a difference in meridians somehow.

Some would have terminal meridians, which did not go all the way to where it needed to, resulting in a suboptimal Qi flow. Others would have thin meridians, which would only allow for a small amount of Qi flow when compared to more talented cultivators.
