Times continue to fly, the treatment also continued but Ye Xiao remained unconscious. He did not wake up.
Soon one month passed away and on this day, Ye Xiao finally gave a reaction when he was fed a recovery pill.
Not long after that, he opened his eyes and found himself on a large bed in a very luxurious room. Spirit energy here was also abundant.
He tried to move his body but immediately felt immense pain coming from every pore of his body.
"What happened?" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and tried to think why he became like this. But he failed to remember anything.
"At that time, that guy Ma Bao wanted to humiliate me but suddenly many scenes from my past started to appear in my mind and suddenly my mind went blank."
"Ahh! I don't remember anything that happened after that. Who took me here?"
Ye Xiao could not help but think about the person who took him here.
Eh!
This...?
When he subconsciously tried to enter into the Heavenly Pearl, he was surprised to see that he directly appeared in the Grassland without any warning.
"Didn't it mean that I was unconscious for at least one whole month?"
"What exactly happened?"
Ye Xiao could not help but again think about everything that happened previously but to his disappointment, he was unable to remember anything.
His whole body was still in pain so he immediately walked in front of Jade Lotuses and swallowed one of them to recover.
Soon the medicinal properties of the Jade Lotus took effect and the pain vanished from his body as if it was never there.
Since Ye Xiao could not remember anything, he did not try to force himself. With only one thought, he took out the root of the Spirit Stealing Fruit and planted it in the Grassland, exactly opposite to the Jade Lotuses.
After planting the root of the Spirit Stealing Fruit which has less than one percent chance to bloom again, he arrived on the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda. He came here this time for the memories of the Ancient Formation God.
He was already an Origin Core Realm martial artist, so he was qualified to merge with memories of the Ancient Formation God.
"What?"
"What happened with me?"
When he thought about the qualification of merging with the memories, he was surprised to see that his cultivation fell down from the Fourth Stage of the Origin Core Realm to the First Stage of the Origin Core Realm.
"Why? Why my cultivation fell down, why?"
Ye Xiao could not help but shout loudly. Even though for him, cultivation was very easy. He just needed to devour and his cultivation will increase but still, he needed to fight to gain the chance to devour and increase his cultivation.
He could not accept the fact his cultivation fell down by three stages.
Ahh!
Suddenly, he held his head and shouted loudly. He felt something appearing in his mind.
When the pain subsided, he checked what appeared in his mind and was surprised to see that there was some information.
He checked it and was shocked!
He actually gained a new ability!
But the question is, how?
He went through the full information and finally understood the reason for the appearance of this new ability.
There was not much information.
He only understood that, somehow, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon devoured a very vast amount of energy and this energy was something that was filled with the aura of destruction.
This energy was something that did not belong to any of the energies in this world. It was something different, different from everything!
Since the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon Devoured it somehow when he was still unconscious, it means that he can use that destructive energy as he wishes.
After all, as it is said, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, Devour the Heaven and Earth and use it as its own!
It means that whatever it devoured, it can use that thing as if it is its own ability. And since the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was a dragon which he formed in his sea of consciousness and he can use its ability to devour, he can also use everything that the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon devoured.
He wanted to know how the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon devoured this extremely destructive energy but he was again disappointed as he was unable to understand the reason, why?
Leave it!
Ye Xiao shook off this thought and started to see what that destructive energy was but again a stream of energy appeared in his mind. This stream of energy was sent by the Heavenly Pearl.
The Heavenly Pearl was communicating with him.
Next, he was told by the Heavenly Pearl that he does not has the qualification to use that energy right now.
"Whatever that destructive energy is, it is mine now! Why can I not use it?" Ye Xiao shouted as he felt some anger toward the Heavenly Pearl.
But no reply came! He was just told that he does not has the qualification to use come in contact with that destructive energy.
Since he could not do anything to the Heavenly Pearl, he endured it.
Ye Xiao walked in front of the Dragon Coiling Cauldron and opened its lid. There he once again saw two familiar small balls of light.
One ball of light was blue in colour while the other ball of light was purple in colour.
The blue ball of light was the one containing the memories of the Ancient Formation God while the Purple Ball of light was the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement.
He took extended his hand and took out the blue ball of light then he closed the lid of the Dragon Coiling Cauldron.
After taking it out, he looked at the blue ball of light which was covered by a protective barrier.
Bang!
Ka-cha!
Ka-cha!
Ye Xiao punched it with all of his strength and the protective barrier started to crumble under his attack.
BOOM!
With a loud sound, the protective barrier, that protected this blue ball of light for who knows how many years, was finally shattered into countless pieces and disappeared in the thin air.
Just as the protective barrier shattered, that blue ball of light flew out from his hand and directly entered in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows.
"Ahhhhhh!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda the moment that blue ball of light entered in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows.
Ye Xiao directly sat down on the place he was standing while holding his head.
Pain! So much pain!
Ye Xiao experienced the process of gaining new information in his mind and merging with memories many times, but still, he was unable to bear the pain every time.
Merging with the memories of the Ancient God was a painful process and no matter how Ye Xiao tried to relieve the pain, he was unable to.
One after another, many new information and knowledge started to appear and forcefully imprint in his mind.
Ahhh!
He was groaning in pain while merging with the memories of the Ancient Formation God.
After who knows how much time passed, the pain finally started to subside and he finally started to feel slightly comfortable.
Not long after, the pain completely disappeared from his head. Ye Xiao was drenched in sweat because of the pain.
"Finally the pain has ended. I am still not used to the pain that appears when I am merging with the memories of the Ancient Gods." Ye Xiao trembled in fear as he thought about the unbearable pain.
Merging with the memories of an Ancient God was no small matter.
He was still not out of the feeling of that terrifying pain, so he sat down and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
Eh!
Ye Xiao was again shocked when he started to circulate his cultivation technique because only at this moment, he noticed that his cultivation of the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique is about to be completed.
He has already comprehended and cultivated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique somehow.
But the question is, when?
He suddenly felt that when his mind went blank in the Cloudsmoke Forest, something major and important definitely would have happened at that time. Otherwise, how can he explain the appearance of the destructive energy? How can he explain why his cultivation of the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique skyrocket.
He has unknowingly cultivated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to almost its peak.
What does it mean?
It means that after cultivating the First Layer of his cultivation technique to its peak, he can form a second dragon and start cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
