Ye Xiao touched the Heavenly Pearl with his spirit energy and entered a vast grassland world inside it, featuring jade paths in four directions. He followed the straight path to a Nine Story Pagoda, placed his hand on a stone pillar to claim his inheritance as the destined ruler defying even the heavens, and entered the first floor. There, he discovered a dragon-guarded cauldron containing memories of alchemy, formations, and weapon refining from ancient gods, plus a mysterious small ball of light.

Ye Xiao obtained no clues about the tiny orb of light hovering within the cauldron's inner space. This left him somewhat baffled by the mysterious glowing sphere. After pondering for a moment, he cautiously stretched his hand toward the small ball of light.

Instantly upon his fingers brushing the light ball, Ye Xiao experienced a splitting headache as an enormous torrent of information surged into his mind.

Even with Ye Xiao's formidable willpower, he couldn't resist clutching his head with both hands. The excruciating pain endured for a prolonged period before something new emerged in his mind.

After scrutinizing it closely, Ye Xiao realized the new presence in his mind was a cultivation technique named the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

The realm, referred to as Azure Sky Continent, stood as a cultivation world where martial arts practitioners abounded, all drawing strength by absorbing heaven and earth's energy.

Cultivation methods defined the process of harnessing heaven and earth's energy for personal power. Battle skills or martial arts techniques channeled the body's spirit energy into devastating strikes. Whether cultivation techniques or battle skills, they divided into four ranks—Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven—with Yellow lowest and Heaven supreme. Each rank split further into inferior, medial, and high.

Once cultivation methods on the continent hit a particular realm and body spirit energy filled to capacity, circulating it would shatter the restraints, allowing advancement to higher levels.

Ye Xiao remained unaware of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique's rank, as no such detail was recorded. It solely outlined the practice method and usage instructions.

The Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique consisted of nine layers in total. Mastering the first layer formed a true dragon in the sea of consciousness, bestowing its abilities upon the cultivator. At the first layer's peak, a breakthrough summoned a second dragon there, permitting cultivation of the second layer.

In cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, the dragon's quality relied purely on luck—it might prove mighty or pathetically weak.

This cultivation technique boasted no bottlenecks, meaning stagnation from any source posed no issue.

Having studied this cultivation method, Ye Xiao brimmed with instant ecstasy. He never dreamed of obtaining such a technique. He even suspected the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was a legendary immortal-level art, transcending Heaven rank.

He drew a deep breath to quell his surging excitement. After Zhou Yan's humiliation and expulsion from the Silver Moon Sect, strength's vital importance dawned on him fully.

With emotions fully steadied, Ye Xiao settled cross-legged on the Nine Story Pagoda's first floor. His hands methodically formed seals per the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique's guidance.

Since his dantian mended, his level stayed at the Body Tempering Realm's First Stage.

As the seal took shape, surrounding spirit energy rippled wildly. His body magnetized the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, drawing it in voraciously.

Entering his frame, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth raced along his meridians straight to the dantian, like rivers plunging into the boundless ocean.

His dantian already held a cloud of Spirit Energy. Under the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique's direction, the cloud swelled larger and larger. Overfilled like a jar, it finally cracked and exploded apart.

With the energy cloud's rupture, Spirit Energy erupted from the dantian, surging back through Ye Xiao's meridians in reverse. Pouring into his body, it caused meridians to visibly widen. This stretching relentlessly tempered and strengthened Ye Xiao's physique.

After about half an incense stick's burning time, the Spirit Energy fully returned to his dantian, forming a cloud several times vaster than before.

Ye Xiao gradually opened his eyes, staring in disbelief at his dantian. Overwhelming power surged through his body, igniting excitement in his gaze.

"Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm"

From the First Stage of Body Tempering Realm, he had leaped straight into the Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm.

"Phew!"

"Boom!"

A mighty punch unleashed an explosive sound that reverberated across the entire first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

"It is simply unimaginable that someone who had just broken through to the Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm would possess such great power. It is not difficult for me to contend against the Sixth even Seventh Stage of Body Tempering".

Having steadied his emotions, he started circulating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. His aim now was to manifest a true dragon in his sea of consciousness, as only then could he grow even stronger, acquire several life-saving abilities, and cultivate at a much faster pace.

Every layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique provides its own unique benefit.
