Chen Zheng slowly woke up, not knowing how much time had passed.
A strange memory rushed into his mind, followed by a violent headache.
This sensation didn't last very long, about a few breaths, and the pain quickly disappeared.
"When I was unconscious, I seemed to hear a voice in my head. Was I hallucinating?"
Chen Zheng frowned, speaking with confusion.
Before he could continue to ponder, the extra memories instantly dominated his mind, and he had no choice but to read them.
A large number of characters, like golden tadpoles, constantly swirled in his mind, then transformed into golden chapters.
"Chaos Divine Sky Art!"
The five large characters were lifelike, as if etched into Chen Zheng's Soul Sea.
Even more terrifying, deep within his Soul Sea, a small golden cauldron appeared, constantly devouring everything around it. Chen Zheng clearly felt a large amount of Spiritual Qi in the room being swallowed by the small golden cauldron.
"Strange, isn't this small cauldron the gift my father gave me when I was very young? Later, during a play session, it went missing, and I thought I had lost it. How did it end up in my Soul Sea?"
Looking at the small golden cauldron in his Soul Sea, Chen Zheng froze in place.
His gaze continued towards the small golden cauldron, and he noticed a few drops of golden liquid inside.
Out of curiosity, Chen Zheng moved his consciousness, trying to see if he could control the small golden cauldron.
"Buzz!"
A drop of the liquid from the small golden cauldron easily poured out, instantly flowing through Chen Zheng's limbs and bones.
A violent energy exploded within his body; every Meridian greedily devoured it. Though it was only a single drop, it managed to cover his entire body.
"What kind of liquid is this? It's many times more powerful than the Body Tempering Liquid my father brought back. Even more terrifying, it minimizes damage to the Meridians, forming a protective film that keeps the Meridians within a tolerable range."
Chen Zheng said with a look of shock.
Just as he expected, the Body Tempering Liquid on the market couldn't compare to it.
The liquid in the small golden cauldron, however, protected his body. The tearing sensation was very slight as it rushed into his Meridians, dissolving the sludge bit by bit. In just a few minutes, an entire Martial Meridian was cleared and unblocked.
His Physique was originally weak, with sludge blocking his Meridians, making him a naturally disabled body type, unsuitable for Cultivation. After the Body Tempering Liquid repaired them, his Meridians were continuously widened.
His withered body was like parched land receiving sweet dew. Every cell was awakening, happily leaping, and emitting sounds of joyful stretching.
"Such exquisite golden liquid! The violent impact within it is perfectly neutralized, so even a Heavenly Cripple Physique can absorb it."
Refining one drop had such a miraculous effect.
Chen Zheng opened his eyes, astonished and disbelieving. A tiny drop of liquid could actually improve a person's Aptitude.
Three years ago, his father brought back a dozen bottles of Body Tempering Liquid, but Chen Zheng consumed them with no effect.
Each time, he was tormented to the brink of death. His Meridians were as thin as silk, clogged with Impurities and filth, and his limbs and bones were extremely weak, a Heavenly Cripple Physique!
But this drop just now was completely different. Just its rich fragrance made all his pores open up, making him feel completely comfortable. His Martial Meridians, like greedy gluttons, eagerly wanted to devour the golden liquid.
This showed the high quality of this drop of liquid, far beyond his imagination. If it were outside, its price would surely be substantial.
After his Physique improved, a faint luster covered his Meridians. These were all protective shields formed by the golden liquid. His Meridians were still very weak, but at least he could Cultivate now.
He didn't rush to refine the remaining drops, but instead delved into the golden chapter.
He spent the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to carefully read the entire Cultivation Technique.
"What a profound Cultivation Technique! It's countless times more exquisite than the Evergreen Art my father left behind."
The more he read, the more astonished he became. Although the Marquis's Mansion was in decline, the books his father left behind were all well-preserved, and Chen Zheng had read them extensively over the years.
His father had him try several Cultivation Techniques, but they never had an effect. Every time he Cultivated, the burning sensation in his Meridians made him wish for death.
Following the guidance of the Chaos Divine Sky Art, he struck a strange posture.
"No reaction?"
Chen Zheng was puzzled. The Chaos Divine Sky Art was very exquisite, but after Cultivating for a long time, there was no reaction at all. Could there be a problem with this Cultivation Technique?
He didn't give up and continued to Cultivate, this time at a faster pace.
Suddenly, a violent pain swept through his entire body, and his Meridians almost snapped.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and many cracks appeared in his Meridians.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chen Zheng looked horrified, still shaken. In that instant, he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell, his body almost exploding.
It must have been his first time Cultivating, and many areas were still unfamiliar, which caused the tearing sensation in his Meridians.
Following the Cultivation Technique's instructions, he was much more careful this time. The faint Spiritual Qi from all around was drawn in and entered his body.
Chen Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.
"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? In the Houtian Realm, it can actually draw Spiritual Qi into the body!"
Chen Zheng's eyes revealed disbelief. This Chaos Divine Sky Art far exceeded his expectations.
With ordinary Cultivation Techniques, the True Qi flowing through his Meridians caused a tearing sensation, making him wish for death every time.
His Physique couldn't withstand the impact of True Qi, and after more than ten years, his Cultivation had remained at Houtian First Layer.
The Chaos Divine Sky Art was different. It absorbed faint Spiritual Qi, like an invisible large hand gently stroking his Meridians, clearing the sludge within. Although there was pain, it was within a tolerable range.
"Could this be a Profound Rank Cultivation Technique?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Zheng's eyes, like a lone traveler in the desert, parched to the point of suffocation, suddenly offered a cup of water.
The Chaos Divine Sky Art was that cup of water, making his thirsty self drink it frantically.
Cultivation Techniques also have Ranks, divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Yellow Rank is the lowest, and Heaven Rank is the highest. Looking at the entire Great Yuan Kingdom, one cannot find a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.
The few Cultivation Techniques his father left behind had shown no progress for several years, let alone the ability to draw Spiritual Qi into the body.
Only upon reaching the Kai Mai Realm can one absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and store it in their Dantian.
The True Qi was like a strand of hair, traveling through his Meridians, making his whole body feel warm. His pores were awakened, absorbing the free-floating Spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth, nourishing his body.
"What a powerful Cultivation Technique! Using Spiritual Qi to cleanse the body, the Impurities in my body will soon be completely cleared."
His long-dormant Realm was stirring.
As the Chaos Divine Sky Art circulated, his Aura steadily climbed. After half an hour, he Broke Through to Houtian Second Layer.
Such a rapid Breakthrough speed was simply incredible. Just as he was about to continue Cultivating,
his mother knocked on the door and then pushed it open... Helpless, Chen Zheng had no choice but to give up Cultivating.
With the mysterious liquid and the Chaos Divine Sky Art, he believed it wouldn't be long before he could become a powerful expert, even making a name for himself in the Great Yuan Kingdom.
