After the war ended, the Primordial Race was already destroyed, the Supreme Platform that led people to walk on the true path of cultivation was also destroyed and disappeared, the Nine Ancestral Dragons were badly injured, the Celestial Sword Emperor had died, and the God Slaying Sword had shattered into three pieces.
The Heavens were destroyed into three realms. Countless people died tragically. Many races disappeared in the fire of that war. The loss was much more than the gains, in fact, there was no gain at all.
A few years after the war, the Second Universe finally shrank to the size of a small ball of light. The cosmic membrane around it was still there, but it had turned completely black. In fact, the universe had completely transformed into a small black pearl. This was the Heavenly Pearl.
It transformed into the Heavenly Pearl because its source had been damaged severely. If it was attacked again, it would not be able to hold on and will surely be destroyed. So, to be safe, it transformed into the Heavenly Pearl and started waiting for the opportunity to rise again.
After transforming into the Heavenly Pearl, it turned into a ray of light, used all its strength to pierce into the cosmic membrane of the Heavenly Pearl, and came inside. The Heavens was already in very bad shape at that time, it didn't notice the entrance of the Heavenly Pearl. However, the Nine Ancestral Dragons and Queen do notice this fact.
When they arrived in front of the Heavenly Pearl, a huge suction force appeared that only affected the Nine Ancestral Dragons, but didn't affect Queen in the slightest. The physical body of the Nine Ancestral Dragons was destroyed and their souls were sucked inside the Heavenly Pearl. Then their souls were sealed inside the cultivation technique.
Now, only Queen was left. Heavenly Pear told Queen a very shocking fact at this time. It told her that only a person who has no cultivation base can cultivate this cultivation technique. The name of this cultivation technique was Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. This cultivation technique was related to the source of the Second Universe as well as the laws of the Heavens. In short, this cultivation technique had the essence of both the universes, thus surpassing the grade of any cultivation technique that has ever appeared in the Heavens and the Second Universe.
It also told her that whoever will cultivate this technique can soar to the sky in one step, however, that person will also fall from the sky to the ground after taking that step.
It means that after a person cultivated the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to the Ninth Layer and successfully become one with the Nine Ancestral Dragons, it'll be the time when the dragons could return back once again. However, at that time, the dragons will no longer belong to the Heavens but to the Second Universe.
It told Queen that the cultivator of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique need to become one with the Ancestral Dragons because of two reasons.
First, only after becoming one with an Ancestral Dragon could the cultivator of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique cultivate the next layer of this cultivation technique.
Second, only after becoming one with the ancestral dragons could the dragons' cultivation will increase. In short, let's take Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon for example. When Ye Xiao become one with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he was only a Martial King Realm martial artist.
However, the benefit of becoming one with Ye Xiao was that as long as Ye Xiao's cultivation base will increase, its cultivation will also increase. It also meant that if the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon were to come out of Ye Xiao's body now, it'll have the same cultivation base as Ye Xiao, a One Marked Divine Lord.
It has to know that, just to be born, an ordinary dragon takes hundreds of years. As for an Ancestral Dragon, who knows how many years it might take. The dragon's cultivation speed is very slow. However, no one can compare to their physical strength. If a dragon wants to cultivate to the Divine Lord Realm from zero, it might take hundreds of thousands of years. However, with the help of Ye Xiao's cultivation speed, this amount of time was shortened by many times.
As long as Ye Xiao could cultivate to the Ancient God Realm, the cultivation bases of the Ancestral Dragons will also reach the Ancient God Realm. Ye Xiao's foundation was extremely solid and he never encountered any problem when it comes to his foundation. It was all because of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
When Ye Xiao get his hands on the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and became the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl, he thought that he was extremely lucky to have this cultivation technique. No matter how fast his cultivation increases or <anno data-annotation-id="5cb34b4b-cbd3-4517-b6a9-90cdad50b79a">how he increases his cultivation</anno>, his foundation will have no problem. He'll never encounter any problem when it comes to his foundation.
At that time, he thought that he has benefitted a lot from this cultivation technique. But in reality, Ye Xiao was not the one benefitting, in fact, the Ancestral Dragons were benefitting from the result of his cultivation of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. It was their foundation that became extremely strong as time passed as Ye Xiao cultivated this cultivation technique.
Well, the most shocking thing that Ye Xiao come to know made Ye Xiao go crazy for a moment. He didn't know how to behave. He himself wanted to destroy this damn Second Universe at that moment.
He came to know that... When he became one with the ancestral dragons, he thought their bodies has become one with his body. And this is the reason why he could transform into any Ancestral Dragons that have been awakened by his cultivation of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. But this was not the truth. The truth was something else. The Ancestral Dragons were in fact living inside the Second Universe all this time and were nurturing their bodies by swimming in the river of laws of the Second Universe, familiarizing themselves with that universe. And what became one with him was actually just a very small incarnation of these dragons. These incarnations were directly linked with their true bodies, and they were also the medium through which the cultivation of the Ancestral Dragons increases as long as Ye Xiao's cultivation increased.
Ye Xiao also learned that these incarnations of the Ancestral Dragon will leave his body after he'll completely cultivates the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. At that time, his cultivation base will disappear and become the cultivation of the Nine Ancestral Dragons through their incarnations. He'll return to the point from where he had started. And he'll never be able to cultivate again.
When Ye Xiao come to know all these things, for a moment, all he wanted was to throw a tantrum, curse the Second Universe, and destroy its source.
However, he was currently like a bystander, watching everything unfolding in front of him without being able to do anything.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao continues to look. After telling Queen everything, the Heavenly Pearl once again shot into the sky and disappeared somewhere far away in the distance.
As for Queen, she continued to look in the direction where the Heavenly Pearl has disappeared to. Then she took a deep breath and muttered, "It's time for me to sleep as well."
Sigh!
Then she let out a long sigh and said again, "When the person who'll cultivate the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique will appear, I shall born again!"
Muttering this, she turned into a huge tree. This tree was so huge that it covered the entire world she was on. This tree become more like a world tree whose roots were intertwining against each and were spreading throughout the entire world. This world was affected by the war and no sign of life could be seen. Only the sign of destruction could be seen in this world.
However, in less than half an hour, the entire world became nothing but forest. Only huge green and lavish trees filled with vitality could be seen in this world.
Only some places where sources of water could be seen were without any trees. Other than those places, the entire world has become the world of trees only. There was nothing in this world other than the forest.
After the entire world become the world of green trees, the huge world tree started withering slowly. The withering speed increased bit by bit and in next to no time, the World Tree withered completely and crumpled before turning into ashes without any fire and disappearing into thin air.
After the World Tree disappeared, the sky turned completely dark as it started raining heavily. It was as if the world was sad because of the death of Queen, a being that gave this world a new life after destruction.
