"I was just dreaming. I'm definitely not dreaming!"
A flame flickered in Ye Qingxuan's eyes. This miraculous scene had ignited his hopes. He was both afraid and curious, but no matter what, he would always step into the Gate of Creation.
This was his only hope!
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and stepped in.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Suddenly, the world seemed to spin around him. When he opened his eyes again, Ye Qingxuan saw a bronze pagoda within his line of sight. This pagoda had a total of 21 floors.
Above the bronze pagoda, the stars were shining brightly, as if it was a vast star map. The hazy starlight shone upon the bronze pagoda, causing it to look extremely mysterious.
At this time, a blue light swept out like a divine chain, enveloping Ye Qingxuan's body. The next moment, Ye Qingxuan discovered that he had entered a bronze shrine.
Within the shrine, a lifelike statue of a dragon and qilin stood in the center.
"Is this the first level of the bronze pagoda?"
Ye Qingxuan's brows furrowed slightly as he raised his head. The image of the stars in the sky gave him an intense visual impact. He swept his gaze in every direction, only to see Divine Inscriptions appearing on the walls in all directions, causing him to be dazzled. However, his mind was extremely clear, and he quickly organized the runic outlines of the divine inscriptions.
"Dragon Elephant Heaven Technique?" This is a body tempering cultivation technique? "
Ye Qingxuan was extremely happy. His meridians were blocked, and he was unable to absorb spiritual energy. However, it didn't stop him from cultivating his body. From his sinful meridians, he couldn't obtain a cultivation method. But here, he obtained a body tempering cultivation method!
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a huge boom resounded through the sky.
Ye Qingxuan lifted his head and saw that the constellations were in a disarray, constantly rearranging themselves. After which, a Heavenly Star Pillar descended from the skies, blasting down towards Ye Qingxuan.
This power was unfathomable. He only felt himself to be an ant. Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes, focusing his attention.
The Heavenly Star Pillar blasted into Ye Qingxuan's body, transforming into boundless strength. Ye Qingxuan's mind also started to stir. At this moment, he actually 'saw' his own body.
Under the impact of the starlight, countless tiny runes had appeared on his meridians. The runes connected into a huge cage and locked Ye Qingxuan's body up.
"My meridians were not blocked by nature at all. They have been sealed by someone." The runes within his body were completely different from the runes on the Gate of Creation.
Didn't this mean that once he was born, he was sealed by the humans?
Whoosh …
Astral light surged within Ye Qingxuan's body, as though it was a raging ocean. Wherever it went, runes and symbols would be submerged within, and the seal would soon be melted.
Soon after, Ye Qingxuan noticed the nine dragon meridians in his body.
Martial arts cultivation had a total of nine realms: Dragon Elephant, Rebirth, Space Abyss, Primordius, Heavenly Passage, Yin Yang, Nirvana, Sky Realm, and Cosmic Ray.
The cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Stage was to open up nine dragon veins in the human body, and from there on, break through the profound entrances of heaven and earth, and be reborn. These nine dragon meridians were the foundation of a martial practitioner. It could be said that they were of utmost importance.
Starlight flooded over like a tide, and Ye Qingxuan could only feel his strength gradually increasing. He immediately activated the Dragon Elephant Sky Technique and started to attack the first dragon vein.
BOOM!
In a split-second, the first dragon vein was broken, followed by the second and the third.
After half an incense stick of time, the starlight dissipated. In the end, Ye Qingxuan still hadn't broken through his fourth dragon meridian. After all, his physical body was too weak. The starlight helped him temper his body, and he had to use up more than half of his strength.
However, Ye Qingxuan was already satisfied with being able to break through to the third level of the Dragon Elephant Realm in one go.
"My meridians have been opened and I can practice qi refinement techniques. I wonder if there are any mystical arts in this hall?" Ye Qingxuan's thoughts moved as he began to walk in the great hall.
The shrine was empty. Only the stars were shining down from the sky.
"This dragon qilin seems to be different?" Ye Qingxuan's gaze landed on the Dragon Kylin. This stone statue was shrouded by strands of Astral Light. He remembered that this wasn't the case when he first entered.
Roar!
A roar suddenly exploded in Ye Qingxuan's ears.
The Dragon Kylin had actually opened its eyes. It was shaking its body, causing pieces of rubble to fall to the ground. Very quickly, this dragon qilin came to life. Its scales shone with splendor, and it was awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.
Ye Qingxuan was surprised, but immediately calmed down. Compared to the miraculous Gate of Destiny, the recovery of the stone statue was not something he needed to be surprised about.
"Greetings, senior." Ye Qingxuan quickly bowed and respectfully asked, "Could it be that Senior is the artifact spirit of the Gate of Destiny?"
Although he was unable to cultivate, in order to find a way to open his meridians, he had read countless ancient texts and knew that there were many divine weapons in this world that possessed an artifact spirit.
The dragon qilin was a hybrid between a qilin and a dragon. It was a natural born divine beast. In Ye Qingxuan's opinion, it should be the artifact spirit of the Gate of Destiny.
The Dragon Kylin shook its head, looked at Ye Qingxuan, and said in a muffled voice, "I am only a divine beast guarding the bronze shrine, and not an artifact spirit." For you to step into the Gate of Destiny, you must be the fated one that the artifact spirit spoke of. I presume that you have already acquired the Dragon Elephant's Heaven Technique? "
Ye Qingxuan nodded.
"This bronze shrine has a total of twenty-one floors. Every single floor holds the treasures that each realm requires. " The dragon qilin indifferently said.
"I will guard the bronze shrine. As long as you can defeat me at the same level, you will be able to acquire cultivation methods and treasures."
Ye Qingxuan suddenly understood. He looked at the dragon Qilin and asked, "Senior, right now, I only have body transformation techniques and I don't have any. Could it be that I have to defeat senior to obtain them?"
The Dragon Kylin nodded and said, "The cultivation of the Dragon and Elephant Realms is to temper the body. When you go back, you should spend some time to comprehend it." Once you reach the ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Realm and refine a Dragon Elephant's Spirit Body, you will be able to surpass me.
"Heavenly Creation Art?"
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
"Let's go."
The dragon qilin blew a breath of air towards Ye Qingxuan. Ye Qingxuan could only feel his body becoming further and further away, until he finally floated out of the Gate of Destiny. The divine beast's body trembled as it stared at the heavens. A look of puzzlement appeared in its bell-like eyes as it replied, "This kid only has an ordinary body. Why did you choose him?"
"It's almost impossible for a mortal's physique to surpass me in the same realm."
"You only need to follow my instructions and ignore everything else." In the sky, a faint and indistinct voice resounded. "Don't forget that my master possesses an ordinary body!"
The Dragon Kylin's mind went cold.
Thirty thousand years ago, that person had fought with his mortal body throughout the heavens. He was a rarely seen rival of the same realm, and had even created a Mysterious Creation Art; he was the supreme existence, worthy of respect.
The sound disappeared and the dragon qilin turned into a stone statue once again.
It was already the break of dawn when Ye Qingxuan's spirit returned to her body. He pinched his cheek and felt the wound. He gasped in pain.
He calmed himself down and the dense text appeared in his mind once again. It was the Dragon Elephant Heaven Technique.
"It really isn't a dream!"
Ye Qingxuan's gaze turned cold and detached. "From today onwards, no one can bully me, not even the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Sister, with me here, no one can take you away!"
He had to protect his only family!
"I don't want to be a mortal!"
Ye Qingxuan stood up, took the remaining silver and walked out of the garden towards the medicine store.
