The Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon finally said what Ye Xiao wanted to know the most, "When one is in perfect control of one's own body when one can comprehend the Heavenly Dao Laws and obtain the approval of Heaven and Earth, and the Heavenly Dao, one can evolve their dantian into the small world and become an Immortal."
"But your case is different. You will never be able to obtain the approval of Heaven and Earth, and the Heavenly Dao. Heavens consider you as its greatest enemy. How can it give you its approval?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao was troubled. If he can not obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, its means he will not be able to evolve his dantian into the small world. But suddenly, after thinking of something, his expression was relaxed.
He thought there might be other methods to evolve one's dantian into the small world otherwise the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon would not have told him before that after merging with it, Ye Xiao will know how to evolve his dantian into the small world.
As he expected, the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon continue to say after stopping for a while, "To become an Immortal, you have to have a small world and to have a small world within your body, you have to obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao which you certainly can't. Since you can't, why bother?"
Ye Xiao frowned his brows when he heard this. Why should not he bother?
After all, this matter will decide if he can become an Immortal or not!
He was about to say something when the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon said, "You don't need to think of other ways to evolve your dantian into the small world. You already have an entire universe within your body. You just have to let it expand and transform into its true form."
At this moment, Ye Xiao understood the hint given by the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon. If he was not wrong then the universe that the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon was talking about was the Heavenly Pearl inside his heart.
But there was still one thing bothering him. He did not know how to let the Heavenly Pearl expand and transform into its true form?
The Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon's voice again sounded into his mind. It was saying, "Exit the Heavenly Pearl and go to a place far away. Go to the place where no living beings reside. The moment you become an Immortal, you will attract a catastrophe upon you and because of you, your surroundings or even this entire world might fall in the grip of that catastrophe."
"It is best if you can find a Secret Realm before breaking through to the Immortal Realm. Just like before, even if the Secret Realm were to be destroyed, there will be no harm to any living being."
Ye Xiao nodded his head, indicating that he understood what he has to do. But there was still a question that he wanted to ask. He said, "How should I let the Heavenly Pearl expand and transform into its true form?"
The Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon replied, "You don't have to do anything. You just have to relax and leave everything to the Heavenly Pearl. Heavenly Pearl is no dead object. It is an entire universe and it has its own spirit. It is just that your level is too low to be able to communicate with it!"
Ye Xiao felt as if he was given a big blow when he heard what the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon said. With his current cultivation, he was invincible in the Lower Realm but even so, his level was too low to be able to communicate with the spirit of the Heavenly Pearl.
But there was one thing that made him very excited and filled his heart with enthusiasm. That thing was the Heavenly Pearl itself. If the Heavenly Pearl was going to replace his small world, didn't it mean that he will have an entire universe as his source of power at the place of just a small world?
"You will encounter many obstacles during this process. The biggest obstacle will be the Heavens itself. If it sensed you wanting to become an Immortal without getting its approval, it will definitely attack you to erase your existence."
The Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon again said. It continued to say, "After transforming into its true form, there might be a chance where the Heavenly Pearl will help your dantian evolve into a small world."
Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this.
If the Heavenly Pearl were to evolve his dantian into a small world, doesn't it mean, at that time, he will have two sources of power? One will be the small world while the other one will be an entire universe.
Just thinking about it made Ye Xiao feel out of the world. He could not suppress his excitement.
So what if the Heavens will not approve of him, he will still become an Immortal and his starting step will be something that would have already surpassed every Immortal of the Upper Realm.
The thing he has to do now is to find a Secret Realm.
Ye Xiao decided to cultivate the Myriad Fire Image Technique to the Ninth Level which was also the final level of this technique. He had already cultivated this technique to the sixth level.
It took him another two months of time to cultivate the Myriad Fire Image Technique to the ninth level. Now, with just a thought, he can summon 1,280 Fire clones.
These Fire clones will be like an army that will only listen to him. What is more, each of them can use 90% of his fighting prowess.
.....
Ye Xiao once again returned to the imperial city of the Grand Xia Empire to find Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er.
After meeting with them, he bid his farewell and started the journey to find a secret realm.
Time continued to pass and soon another three months went by. In these three months, Ye Xiao came across many secret realms but these secret realms were very low levelled. With his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to enter those secret realms.
In these three months, he almost travelled to every empire of the Azure Sky Continent. He also found that the Azure Sky Continent was actually three times bigger than the Holy Beast Continent.
Well, this was not that much of a surprise to Ye Xiao. After all, the Holy Beast Continent was in reality just a small world of an Immortal Emperor.
On this day, he once again arrived at the Dragon Empire.
Without wasting his time, he directly entered the Imperial Palace and went to the forbidden ground after sensing with his divine sense that the Dragon Ancestor was resting there.
Yes, there was one more thing. Ye Xiao didn't know that this was the forbidden ground otherwise he would not have directly entered. This kind of act can be considered as being disrespectful to the Dragon Ancestor and the Dragon Empire.
Anyway, Ye Xiao entered the forbidden ground and appeared in front of the Dragon Ancestor and lightly coughed.
The Dragon Ancestor's big pair of eyes flapped opened. He was surprised to see Ye Xiao's face in front of him.
He hurriedly calmed down and took the human form before showing his displeasure, saying, "Young Lord Ye Xiao, although you are the son of a powerful Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, you still can not enter our forbidden ground as you wish!"
Only now did Ye Xiao come to know that this was actually the forbidden ground of the Royal Dragons.
Although Ye Xiao was already at the peak of the Azure Sky Continent, it was still his fault to directly enter the forbidden ground without permission so he first apologized to the Dragon Ancestor, saying that he did not know that this was actually their forbidden ground.
After apologizing, he told the Dragon Ancestor about his purpose of coming here.
"So you want to find a secret realm where even a Martial Saint could enter?" Asked the Dragon Ancestor.
After swallowing the Water Spirit Herb that Ye Xiao gave him in exchange for the map where the location of the Grand Xia Empire was marked, the Dragon Ancestor's cultivation increased from the Fifth Stage of the Martial Saint Realm to the Seventh Stage of the Martial Saint Realm.
Because of this reason as well as because of Ye Xiao's own strength which he could not see through now, the Dragon Ancestor was very respectful to Ye Xiao.
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head in response, the Dragon Ancestor said, "There are very very few secret realms in the entire Azure Sky Continent where a Martial Saint could enter. But luckily, there is such a Secret Realm in my Dragon Empire and it is going to open three days later. This secret realm opens once every 3,000 years. Because of which, this secret realm is very precious to us, Golden Dragons, the ruler of the Dragon Empire."
