During the time Yang Chan was condensing the Divine Vein Seed, Black Dragon within the Mysterious Yin Hanging Beads also tried various methods to increase his strength. He had witnessed every change across the Taiyu Divine Continent.

Thus, he had spent this period cultivating this secret art, which was also his means of briefly escaping the Mysterious Yin Hanging Beads' control.
Black Dragon felt that the reviving Hengyuan Divine Vein should contain a method of escaping the Mysterious Yin Hanging Beads, which was why he acted so.
