Chen Nan gradually sped up his movement of Qi.
The inner strength, which was originally flowing like a small stream in his meridians, gradually turned into a surging river.
According to the Qi cultivation diagram, the inner strength passed through a total of nine acupoints, but after reaching this point, Chen Nan could no longer continue cultivating because the carving on the broken stele only showed this part and was incomplete, preventing a genuine circulation within the meridians.
If an average person encountered such a situation and stopped halfway, the inner strength wouldn't return to the dantian, leading to a backlash of inner strength, or even a deviation.
However, Chen Nan was an exception. He no longer had a dantian, as all his inner strength was stored in his body's cells, so when he couldn't continue halfway, he decisively dispersed the inner strength, allowing it to merge with his flesh through the meridians, avoiding the danger of deviation.
