Ye Wushuang had obtained the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda, a divine artifact that had merged with him and was sealed within the forbidden Burial God Mountain along with him. During the million years of his imprisonment, he had activated the pagoda and discovered a divine technique within it: the Nine-Transmutations Immortal Technique. This technique allowed him, as a Heavenly Emperor, to continuously peel away his divine spirit into nine separate entities, thereby escaping the seal. The divine spirit is not the soul, but the very essence of a Heavenly Emperor’s doctrine, the foundation of all his power.
Over the course of a million years, he diligently practiced this technique, dividing his divine spirit into nine parts. Each time a part was separated, it would leave the sealed area and see the light of day once more. However, a divine spirit cannot exist independently of a physical body for long. Thus, each part of the spirit would undergo a transformation, reshape its soul, and be reborn as a human. Despite this, the divine spirit was too powerful to be contained by an ordinary human body. As a result, each reborn spirit would eventually fall into a deep slumber to preserve itself.
Over the million years, his nine parts of the divine spirit had successively left his body, scattered across the Canghuang Heavenly Realm, each experiencing its own journey and eventually falling into slumber. It was only when all nine parts had left his body and the Nine-Transmutations Immortal Technique was fully perfected that his soul, under the divine influence of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda, was reborn as Ye Wushuang of the Ye family in Liuyue City in this life. His divine spirit and soul had thus escaped the seal, while only his physical body remained imprisoned within the Burial God Mountain.
Due to the overwhelming power of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Taming Pagoda, Ye Wushuang’s soul in this life had lost its memories, his talents were limited, and he was unable to absorb spiritual energy. It was not until his blood awakened the ninth part of the divine spirit sealed within the Ye clan’s statue and merged it with his body, lifting the restrictions of the pagoda, that his memories were restored.
The founder of the Ye clan, Ye Wentian, was none other than the manifestation of Ye Wushuang’s ninth part of the divine spirit. Betrayed and sealed in his previous life, he had been humiliated and killed in this one.
“The Nine Heavenly Emperors, I treated you as my own flesh and blood, as close as family, and yet this is how you repay me!” he thought. “Yun Qingyue, you have taken away my chance of life and defiled my honor. The grudge of this life has only just begun!”
For a moment, Ye Wushuang’s heart was consumed by raging fury. But as he gradually calmed down, he realized that the integration of the ninth part of his divine spirit had not only unlocked his memories but also healed all his fatal injuries. Moreover, a powerful spiritual energy was now circulating within him, refining his internal organs.
There are four major realms in the path of a martial cultivator:
1. Refining the Body and Meridians.
2. Condensing the Meridians.
3. Establishing the Spiritual Mansion.
4. The Heavenly Gang Realm.
The first realm, Refining the Body and Meridians, is the initial stage where cultivators draw spiritual energy into their bodies to temper their skin, flesh, bones, and organs. It is divided into nine levels, each of which enhances the cultivator’s physical strength and explosive power.
The second realm, Condensing the Meridians, is also divided into nine levels. Cultivators gather spiritual energy in their meridians, refining them to the point where they can control the energy at will.
The top cultivators of the major families in Liuyue City were at the Condensing Meridians level. Cultivators in the third realm, Establishing the Spiritual Mansion, create a spiritual mansion within themselves to gather and store spiritual energy, allowing them to perform extraordinary feats.
Cultivators in the fourth and highest realm, the Heavenly Gang Realm, condense heavenly gang energy, making them nearly invulnerable and capable of delivering strikes powerful enough to split mountains and rivers.
Before, Ye Wushuang had been unable to absorb spiritual energy for three years of cultivation. But now, he could clearly sense the spiritual energy from the surrounding world pouring into his body, refining his physical form.
Though he was in this dark world, Ye Wushuang could distinctly feel his power surging at an alarming rate. He swiftly advanced through the levels of the Refining the Body and Meridians realm:
Level one.
Level two.
…
Level five!
In an instant, Ye Wushuang had achieved what he had failed to do in three years. Moreover, each level of the Refining the Body and Meridians realm grants a cultivator the strength of an ox. Level two grants the strength of three oxen, level three grants the strength of nine oxen, and level five should normally grant the strength of thirty-six oxen. But Ye Wushuang could clearly feel that the power within him was far greater than that.
Opening his eyes and returning his consciousness to his body, Ye Wushuang looked at the statue before him.
“Once I return to the Canghuang Heavenly Realm, I will make the Heavenly Emperors descend to the underworld,” he vowed. “And the Yun family will be the beginning of my lifelong campaign of vengeance!”
Suppressing the fury in his heart, Ye Wushuang focused on the immediate task at hand: taking care of the few remaining members of his family.
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, Liu Yuemei’s voice, filled with terror, echoed from the front courtyard. Frowning, Ye Wushuang quickly dressed and strode towards the front courtyard…
