Time went by and very soon, a hundred and eighty years passed on the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
On this particular day, Ye Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with multicoloured light that shot out and spread everywhere on the First Floor, illuminating the entire floor with multicoloured light.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
"Roar!" "Roar!"
It was at this moment, nine continuous dragon roars echoed and suddenly, the entire Nine Story Pagoda shook heavily. It was as if a terrifying earthquake was occurring, not only the Nine Story Pagoda but the entire floating island shrouded by the veil of darkness where Nine Story Pagoda was shaking heavily.
A very mysterious energy rose in the air and swept over, causing a sensational scene.
One after another, nine huge dragons flew out of Ye Xiao's body and roared at the sky.
The First Ancestral Dragon: Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, Devouring the Heaven and Earth.
The Second Ancestral Dragon: Divine Soul Emperor Dragon; King of all souls.
The Third Ancestral Dragon: Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon; Ruler of Poisons.
The Fourth Ancestral Dragon: World Exterminating Demon Dragon; Worlds Destroyer.
The Fifth Ancestral Dragon: Blood Slaughter Abyssal Dragon, Blood Manipulator.
The Sixth Ancestral Dragon: Nine Hell Serenity Dragon; Sovereign of Hell.
The Seventh Ancestral Dragon: Absolute Life Phantom Dragon; Patron to the Way of Life.
The Eighth Ancestral Dragon: Extreme Void Cosmic Dragon; Monarch of Space.
The Ninth Ancestral Dragon: Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon; Creator of all beginnings.
All nine ancestral dragons flew in the sky. Other than the first floor, no other floor of the Nine Story Pagoda could be seen now. In fact, even the ceiling of the First Floor has disappeared for some reason, revealing the beautiful sky above.
The nine ancestral dragons were roaring and flying at an extremely fast speed.
Looking at them, it seemed as if a metaphor was occurring. These nine ancestral dragons seemed to be going through some sort of transformation with each passing second, however, those passing seconds were also causing huge changes in Ye Xiao's body.
The nine ancestral dragons' aura was growing stronger and stronger. On the other hand, Ye Xiao's aura was growing weaker and weaker. With each passing second, Ye Xiao was losing a portion of his cultivation. His cultivation kept regressing bit by bit.
But Ye Xiao knew the changes happening currently is not as simple as they seemed to be on the surface. In fact, his every bit of cultivation base was actually being used to nourish the Nine Ancestral Dragons, supporting their transformation. And the medium was none other than the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique itself.
Yes, the old man who appeared on the 99th Pillar on the Ninth Floor of Heavenly Demon Palace was speaking the truth, his words were absolutely true.
His words were: all cultivation techniques leave their own mark on the cultivator's body. And upon complete cultivation, that mark will manifest in the cultivator's soul.
But Ye Xiao's story is different.
Ye Xiao can see the mark of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique with Eyes of Insight. He did this only after coming to know about this matter.
However, instead of the mark of cultivation technique in his soul, the mark of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique started sucking his cultivation base and became a medium to nourish the Nine Ancestral Dragons.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao already knew the truth about Nine Ancestral Dragons and the Second Universe, otherwise, he would have panicked currently and wouldn't have known what to do.
Ye Xiao already wanted to break all his connections with the Second Universe and the Nine Ancestral Dragons. Thus, he didn't try to stop, instead, he began assisting the mark of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
With his help, his cultivation started regressing even faster, and the speed at which the Nine Ancestral Dragons were being nourished sped up.
.....
The Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon was the ninth Ancestral Dragon that Ye Xiao awakened after cultivating the Ninth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
The Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon is also known as the creator of all beginnings. As the name itself says, the Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon was born with a 100% understanding of the Profound Meaning of Creation Law.
Because Ye Xiao has already comprehended the 1% Law of creation, after he became one with the Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon, his comprehension of Creation Law skyrocketed and reached 20%, far surpassing the comprehension of the Law of Destruction and the Law of Space.
He also obtained a few creation-related abilities upon the awakening of the Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon, and after he cultivated the Ninth Layer to perfection and became with the Ninth Ancestral Dragon, he obtained many other abilities.
But now, as Ye Xiao was losing his cultivation base, the mark of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was becoming fainter and fainter. His connection with the Nine Ancestral Dragons was also becoming weaker and weaker, and at the same time, Ye Xiao also started losing the abilities he has obtained from the Nine Ancestral Dragons.
It was at this time the Domineering God Crystal reacted.
Many years ago, Domineering God Crystal promised Ye Xiao that it will help Ye Xiao keep one ability from each Ancestral Dragon. The ability that the Domineering God Crystal will help Ye Xiao keep is dependent entirely on Ye Xiao's choice.
Ye Xiao has already thought of what abilities he will keep, thus he told Domineering God Crystal about his choices. And the Domineering God Crystal started helping Ye Xiao keep those abilities.
Ye Xiao could feel something being sucked out of the Nine Ancestral Dragons' bodies without them noticing. It was not harmful to the Nine Ancestral Dragons, and they will recover whatever the Domineering God Crystal has sucked out of their bodies very soon. Thus, it doesn't really matter.
Very soon, Ye Xiao successfully kept his choice of abilities from the Nine Ancestral Dragons. These abilities were deeply integrated with the Domineering god Crystal itself. And the Domineering God Crystal is the core of his Small Universe.
It means, as long as his Small Universe is there, he could use these nine abilities as he wishes.
The abilities Ye Xiao chose to keep are; Devouring Ability from Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, Soul Destruction from Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, Immunity from all poisons from the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon, World Extermination Claw from World Extermination Demon Dragon, Slaughtering Abyssal Claw from Blood Slaughter Abyssal Dragon, Nine Hell Transformation from Nine Hell Serenity Dragon, Life Recovery from Absolute Life Phantom Dragon, Teleportation from Extreme Void Cosmic Dragon, and Creation Force Universe Tree from the Primordial Beginning Creation Dragon.
Among these nine abilities, the Creation Force Universe Tree is the most mysterious. It was actually not an ability, instead, Creation Force Universe Tree is really a tree.
To make the tree sprout, Ye Xiao needs a 100% understanding of the Profound Meaning of the Creation Law. Currently, Ye Xiao's understanding of the Law of Creation was only at 20%. He was far, very far away from comprehending the 100% Profound Meaning of Creation Law.
But exactly this subject made Ye Xiao very interested in this Creation Force Universe Tree. Ye Xiao wanted to see what kind of ability or specialty this tree would have when it'll grow.
Ye Xiao chose to keep the Devouring Ability from Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon because of Domineering God Crystal's suggestion. According to the Domineering God Crystal, Ye Xiao could devour anything in the Heavens with the help of Devouring Law and its Profound Meaning. But this will not work in Chaos. It is because the rules of the Heavens are completely different and far weaker than the rules of Chaos.
No, comparing the rules of the Heavens to the rules of Chaos in itself is a wrong subject to talk about. The rules of the Heavens are so weak in front of the rules of Chaos that comparing them in itself is dishonouring the rules of Chaos.
Thus, only his Devouring Ability that will transcend the Heavens along with him and his Small Universe will work in Chaos.
And Devouring Ability can be proved to be a very strong trump card in Ye Xiao's sleeve.
Soul Destruction was of course a very trump card as well, and there is no need to mention anything about the Immunity to all Poisons.
World Extermination Claw and Slaughtering Abyssal Claw are one of the strongest abilities of World Extermination Demon Dragon and Blood Slaughter Abyssal Dragon.
Nine Hell Transformation is rather a very mysterious ability of Nine Hell Serenity Dragon. Ye Xiao has never used this ability ever before. It is because he never needed to use this ability.
Maybe, in the coming calamity, he might display the Nine Hell Transformation.
Again, there is no need to mention anything about Life Recovery. It can all injuries and deep wounds very quickly. It can help one recover their vitality and even help recover the injured soul.
As for Teleportation, Ye Xiao could teleport to a certain distance using this ability. And if he used the Space Law to execute this technique, he can even teleport from one world to a different world.
