Chapter 7

It has been three days, and Sun Sheng has been enjoying the joy of growing stronger every day. His cultivation speed can be described as soaring, and he has become thoroughly familiar with the thirty-six meridians. Now, even if he does not deliberately circulate the cultivation technique, these thirty-six meridians will operate autonomously, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and refining it.

Sun Sheng was overjoyed; his talent had finally returned, and he had emerged from the low point. However, he was not foolish enough to proclaim this to everyone.

After all, his talent returning so suddenly would certainly cause many people to be suspicious, especially regarding his current golden dantian, which is extremely mysterious and bizarre. It absolutely cannot be known by outsiders, or it would attract many crazy people, who might even try to capture him for research.

The most critical thing is that mysterious Divine Wasteland Bone. This bone, with its extraordinary color, must have a significant origin. Even the Purple-robed predecessor, who was once a supreme being in the Divine Realm, was ambushed and killed by others after obtaining it. So this item is definitely extraordinary, and it might be a legendary artifact from the Divine Realm, not belonging to this world.

Over the three days, Sun Sheng not only enjoyed his rapid cultivation speed but also organized his thoughts.

Everything that happened that night was too sudden and bizarre, taking him several days to digest.

First, the blue ox spoke, and then the mysterious Divine Wasteland Bone began to transform him. During this process, Sun Sheng saw a figure that seemed to be his past life, with a significant origin, actually being a supreme being in the Divine Realm.

However, he was now unsure whether the purple-robed youth in his mind was truly his past life or if he was misled by the memories condensed in that drop of blood.

Regardless, the mysterious purple-robed predecessor would not harm him and provided him with tremendous help in cultivation. He refined the Dragon-Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique to a very exquisite level, far surpassing the cultivation techniques he had practiced before. This made Sun Sheng very satisfied, as it was like having a supreme being guiding his cultivation from behind.

To verify this, Sun Sheng specially practiced another cultivation technique, a low-level Qi Cultivation Technique he had obtained by chance in the past. Although it could also gather Qi, it was far inferior to the Dragon-Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique, only able to operate eight meridians to gather Qi.

However, after Sun Sheng's experiment, the purple-robed predecessor indeed appeared in his mind again. While practicing this low-level Qi Cultivation Technique, he evolved sixteen meridians, doubling the intricacy.

Even a low-level cultivation technique could allow someone to easily reach the Body Tempering stage.

Next, Sun Sheng tried martial arts, which are combat techniques that can greatly enhance one's offensive power in battle. He used the White Family's ancestral Iron Hand technique as an experiment. When combined with the Dragon-Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique, the Iron Hand had tremendous power.

This experiment was also successful, and the purple-robed predecessor simulated the Iron Hand, with his palms like gold and jade, clear and flawless, making his flesh palms more beautiful than gemstones.

Indeed, the Iron Hand was refined to a more exquisite level by the purple-robed predecessor. Sun Sheng had never seen such a powerful Iron Hand, not even his grandfather, Bai Huatian, had cultivated it to such a level.

Bai Huatian's mastery of the Iron Hand was at most enough to tear apart fierce tigers and elephants or melt raw iron into molten iron.

However, after being refined by the purple-robed predecessor, the Iron Hand glowed with a golden light, and Sun Sheng felt that if he cultivated this martial art to its peak, he could shatter divine weapons and magical tools that had been enchanted by rune masters with his bare hands.

For several consecutive days, Sun Sheng did not leave his room, quietly cultivating. His Qi cultivation skills advanced rapidly. As a former genius of the Bai Family, he had already understood all the cultivation methods, so re-cultivating them was easy. Moreover, with the purple-robed predecessor refining various wonders for him, his strength increased daily.

The blue ox was very quiet during this time, not disturbing Sun Sheng's cultivation. It went out to find food every day or soaked in the moat, returning to the cowshed at night to rest.

Everything seemed to be the same as before; the blue ox remained silent and did not speak a word.

Sun Sheng knew that this blue ox must have a great secret, not just a simple spirit beast. After all, no spirit beast would carry something as extraordinary as the Divine Wasteland Bone.

However, Sun Sheng did not ask more. Everyone has their secrets, and if the blue ox did not choose to tell him, there must be a reason. Or, if Sun Sheng really knew all the blue ox's secrets, their parting day might not be far off. Sun Sheng had this intuition and did not want it to happen, so he did not ask any more questions and diligently cultivated every day.

Late at night, Sun Sheng lay in bed but could not sleep. He had been engrossed in cultivation for several days, and his Qi cultivation skills had advanced rapidly. He felt that he was about to break through to the Qi Explosion stage.

He had already walked this path once, so he was familiar with it. After all, he had already figured out the tricks back then, so there was no need to explore step by step.

At this moment, in Sun Sheng's mind, the Heavenly Book appeared. This Heavenly Book was formed from the drop of essence blood inside the Divine Wasteland Bone. Sun Sheng felt that this drop of blood was likely left by the purple-robed predecessor, containing his lifetime of Daoist teachings and many cultivation techniques and divine skills.

Moreover, this Heavenly Book did not have any powerful seals, and Sun Sheng could flip through it casually. However, he soon lost confidence.

Although the Heavenly Book contained heaven-defying Daoist teachings, they were too profound. At his current level, he could not master this treasure.

It was like an old beggar facing a mountain of gold, having only fantasies but no ability to move it.

"Is there no simple cultivation method for me to practice?" Sun Sheng was speechless. If this Heavenly Book were known to outsiders, it would likely attract the supreme beings of this world to fight over it, as it contained the treasures of the Divine Realm, enough to drive people mad.

However, now, this Heavenly Book was of no use to Sun Sheng, far less helpful than the purple-robed predecessor in his mind.

However, the Heavenly Book was not entirely useless. Sun Sheng discovered that the records of rune techniques in it were something he could try to practice. The path of runes emphasizes gradual progression, and the Heavenly Book contained a complete and detailed collection of rune techniques.

However, Sun Sheng had no time to study it now. This was the path of rune masters, and although mastering powerful runes would earn him respect, Sun Sheng's current goal was to enhance his strength.

As for the path of rune masters, he would consider it later. Cultivating rune techniques required a lot of time, and this alone made Sun Sheng abandon the idea. He spent all his time cultivating Qi, with no time to practice runes, and he would consider it when he had more time.

...

For several consecutive days, Sun Sheng spent most of his time cultivating Qi. This frenzied cultivation speed was even faster than when he had his talent. Re-walking the same path also increased his speed.

The water in the moat flowed rapidly, and Sun Sheng sat in meditation by the river, while the blue ox soaked in the water, not disturbing each other.

Outside Sun Sheng's body, a faint golden Qi flowed, and these golden Qi currents vaguely formed the shapes of dragons and tigers, coiling around Sun Sheng.

This was the Qi cultivation technique refined by the Dragon-Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique. What puzzled Sun Sheng was that the Qi he usually cultivated using the Dragon-Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique was earth yellow, and other members of the Bai Family who practiced this technique also produced earth yellow Qi. Why did his Qi turn golden?
