Dao Seed Perfection

"These people are going too far!"

In a corner on the third floor of the treasure pavilion, Yu Chi Wei angrily spoke to Yi Yun.

He was ostracized in the Heavenly Dao Alliance and was hunted down after refusing to sign Soul Contract. Now, after finally enduring the humiliation and signing the Soul Contract, he returned to the Heavenly Dao Alliance only to be ridiculed and discriminated against.

But he could only endure it and had no way to leave. One can imagine the grievances he felt.

However, Yi Yun just smiled and didn't say anything when Yu Chi Wei complained. He leisurely selected all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the treasure pavilion. He had also earned some Blood Jade before, and he spent all of it, including the Blood Jade he received as a reward for joining the Heavenly Blood Alliance. Anyway, it was a resource of the Martial Arts Alliance, so it would be a waste not to use it.

Moreover, if we don't use it now, we won't have the chance to use it later.

"You exchanged so many relics? Are you trying to improve your strength during the trial to better complete the mission? Senior Brother Jiang, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even though we joined the Heavenly Blood Alliance, we are still discriminated against. Those people look down on us, and even if we make contributions, they probably won't give us the corresponding rewards," Yu Chi Wei said resentfully.

Yi Yun didn't explain. After spending all the Blood Jade, he left the Treasure Pavilion.

At this time, with only a dozen days left before the Black Stone Trial began, Yi Yun left Absolute Sword Mountain directly. After becoming a member of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, he gained some freedom of movement, and Blood Moon was not worried that these people who had signed the Soul Contract would betray them.

Yi Yun continued flying until he reached a remote sea area where Undying Sea.

The wind howled and the waves crashed, and as far as the eye could see, there was not a single ship in sight.

Yi Yun landed on a huge reef, his eyes burning with a sharp light.

He took out a jade box, and when he opened it, it was filled with dazzling light and surging energy.

Inside this jade box are ten ancient relics taken from the God Descending Tower, and a Dao Fruit that Yi Yun obtained in the Treasure Pavilion.

The Dao Fruit obtained from this treasure pavilion is nothing special, but those ten ancient relics would make any member of the Heavenly Blood Alliance's heart race if they fell into their hands.

These ancient relics are far superior to the Emperor Sarira used by ordinary Tianyuan Realm Emperor during their cultivation. Ordinary geniuses are hardly qualified to use such relics; they might use a slightly lower-quality one when breaking through to a higher realm, which is already considered a luxury.

Looking at these rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Yi Yun activated the Purple Crystal within his body, and a purple vortex was formed out of thin air within him. The energy of the ancient relic was rapidly devoured, and the Dao Fruit was also drained in the blink of an eye.

Yi Yun planned to reach the Dao Seed Perfection in one fell swoop, in preparation for his true breakthrough to the Kaiyuan Realm.

The ancient relic quickly dimmed. The energy absorbed by the Purple Crystal was too enormous, and even though Yi Yun's foundation was ten times wider than that of an ordinary Tianyuan Realm martial artist, it was still somewhat unable to contain it.

A large amount of energy is purified by Purple Crystal, extracting its essence and discarding its dross.

In an instant, Yi Yun's entire body surged with energy, and the surrounding sea was stirred by this energy, becoming turbulent and filled with flying spray.

Even so, there was still too much energy. The excess energy was all fed by Yi Yun to the Nine-Headed Beast Seal dormant within his body.

As energy surged in, Yi Yun felt the seeds of laws buried within his primordial foundation becoming more solid and radiant, seemingly about to slowly sprout.

His Dao Seed Realm has broken through the late stage and is moving towards perfection.

Just then, Yi Yun took out a dark golden stone from his Space Ring.

This unusual stone has a restrained luster, with faint patterns of laws flowing across its surface.

Several months ago, Yi Yun bought this strange stone from the siblings A'yu A'niu in Tianwu City, which led to a conflict with the Lihuo Sect.

At that time, Yi Yun possessed the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, and he was better able to confirm the value of this strange stone than the horse-faced youth from the Lihuo Sect.

In the beginning, the universe was a state of chaos. The essence of chaos is energy. Energy transformed into Yin and Yang, then into spacetime, and then the Five Elements appeared. Heaven and earth separated, which gave rise to wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and all living things.

However, not all energy evolved into all things; some energy condensed and became Chaos Stone.

The Chaos Stone is priceless.

Because the energy at the very beginning of the universe was the most fundamental energy.

After the Five Elements were gradually formed, energy was differentiated into different types. This energy was scattered between heaven and earth, diluted and impure, and was far less pure than it was at the beginning of the universe.

Chaos Stone were recorded in Lord Qingyang's notes. Because they are extremely rare and contain primordial energy and the original laws of the universe, they are very precious.

However, the strange stone in Yi Yun's hand was not Chaos Stone.

Chaos Stone are extremely rare; you might not even find a single Chaos Stone in the entire Tianyuan Realm.

The stone in Yi Yun's hand is actually the World Stone.

It is a raw stone formed from energy at the very beginning of the formation of the world where Tianyuan Realm is located. It is somewhat inferior to the original energy and original laws of Chaos Stone, but it is still very precious.

These World Stone, which were originally quite abundant, have become increasingly rare over time. Only in some extraordinary places can one find the original stones. By sheer chance, the two sisters, A'niu and A'yu, actually found one.

In the vast universe where the Twelve Emperor Heavens reside, there are countless worlds. At the birth of each world, a World Stone is left behind.

In the Twelve Emperor Heavens, both the Savage Bone Relic and the World Stone can be used as hard currency. However, in reality, the World Stone is only used when purchasing priceless treasures, because it is extremely rare.

As for the more precious Chaos Stone, almost no one would be willing to spend them.

Yi Yun placed the World Stone between his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and let the primal energy contained within the World Stone flow into his entire body, along his meridians, and into his Yi Yun.

In an instant, Yi Yun felt light and refreshed, as if his mind and body had been purified.

This absorption lasted for two hours. Under the coordination of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun felt as if his body had completely transformed into an energy body, without any impurities.

His cultivation level has also completely broken through the late stage of the Dao Seed Realm, reaching the perfection of the Dao Seed Realm, and is only half a step away from the Kaiyuan Realm.

Just as Yi Yun was about to finish his practice, suddenly, the Nine-Headed Beast Seal within Yi Yun's body released its full power, and a black, tornado-like stream of energy burst forth from its body, shooting straight up to the dome!

It had previously absorbed a large amount of energy that Yi Yun couldn't absorb, and at this moment, it began to completely merge with it!

And during the process of the Nine-Headed Serpent merging with energy...

Boom boom boom!

Black air currents churned the sky, and thick black clouds gathered from all directions.

Within the clouds, lightning danced wildly! Huge bolts of lightning, as thick as water buckets, flashed past continuously.

Yi Yun squinted and looked at the thunderclouds in the sky.

He knew this was the tribulation of the Nine-Headed Serpent!

The heavenly tribulation has finally arrived. Originally, it had nothing to do with Yi Yun, but now that Yi Yun is the master of the Nine-Headed Serpent, he also has a share in this tribulation.

The wind grew stronger and the waves more turbulent. Under the power of heaven and earth, all the creatures in this sea hid under the rocks and lay dormant on the seabed, not daring to move.

This is the killing intent of Heaven; since Jiuying is defying Heaven's cultivation, it will annihilate him.

Hold head high--

The Nine-Headed Serpent roared, and the Dharma Aspect Totem that transformed behind Yi Yun raised its nine heads high.

Boom!

The first bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds!

The oppressive black sky and the churning black ocean seemed to merge into one, and between them, a massive bolt of lightning struck, illuminating both the sky and the sea.

The moment the lightning struck, Yi Yun immediately felt a stinging pain all over his body.

The Nine-Headed Serpent did not dodge; instead, it took the initiative to meet the lightning bolt.

Click!

The electric current entered their bodies, and Jiu Ying, along with Yi Yun, all suffered the electric shock.

Yi Yun's body was already a pure energy body, tempered by lightning. Despite the pain all over his body, it seemed that every cell had come alive, and he began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and earth, as well as the power of heavenly punishment.

This divine punishment of lightning tempered Yi Yun 'Yi Yun physical body and Divine Soul, and suppressed his thoughts and ideas. However, amidst this pain and suppression, Yi Yun felt as if something mysterious and profound was being created and destroyed within the lightning.

Lightning is Power of Destruction, but also a force of life. Legend has it that the first life was born when lightning struck the ocean.

Yi Yun closed his eyes and began to bear the divine power of heaven and earth.

Boom boom boom!

Lightning bolts struck one after another.

Even something as enormous as the Nine-Headed Serpent appears as insignificant as an ant under the terrifying might of heaven.

But it still held its head high, actively welcoming the might of heaven, and roaring angrily!

Its body was struck repeatedly, and its nine heads were covered in blood and charred marks.

Wild beasts that cultivate will suffer heavenly tribulations. Martial artists who cultivate martial arts are also defying the laws of heaven.

Yi Yun stood in front of Jiuying, while Jiuying behind him roared angrily at the sky.

Bang!

A tremendous, deafening explosion!

The lightning bolt shattered, turning into countless tiny electric currents!

Yi Yun neither drew his sword nor offered any resistance, letting the lightning pour down relentlessly!

Click!

The rocks beneath Yi Yun's feet shattered completely, and the seawater surged, enveloping Yi Yun's entire body before being instantly evaporated.

Yi Yun's clothes were reduced to ashes. His hair was disheveled, his whole body was paralyzed, and blood was flowing freely from his body.

The Nine-Headed Serpent behind Yi Yun fared even worse. After all, it was the one who triggered the tribulation lightning, and it was the main body that bore the brunt of it. Its entire body was charred, and the old skin that had been burned off peeled away, revealing large patches of bloody, red flesh...

The lightning strikes lasted for a full fifteen minutes, with a total of nine strikes, before the thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated.

The sky cleared again, Yi Yun took a deep breath. This tribulation was truly extraordinary; no wonder the Nine-Headed Serpent could not grow up in the Tianyuan Realm.

Even with so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures supporting it, the Nine-Headed Serpent I raised was still so severely injured during this tribulation.

This is only the first tribulation. Although there are nine tribulation lightning bolts, the power of each one is not much different. If the subsequent tribulations are stronger than the last, then that will be hell.

However, although the process was painful, the benefits of the tribulation were immense. Besides the Nine-Headed Serpent undergoing an evolution and becoming even more powerful, its master, Yi Yun, also tempered his physical body during the tribulation. Upon examining his body internally, he was astonished to discover that his already near-perfect Pure Yang Body had actually... undergone another slight change! (To be continued~^~)
