Ye Xiao sat on the ground because he was too tired and badly injured at the moment. Not only was his entire body scorched by the lightning strike, but his internal organs were also a mess.
“You finally made it!”
Right at this moment, he heard a familiar voice. Ye Xiao looked into his sea of consciousness and saw the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon staring at him with its huge golden eyes.
The Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon once again said, “Quickly go into the Heavenly Pearl and look for the Queen of Plants. He can cure you almost instantly. You don't have much time so hurry up!”
“Trop Queen? You mean Little Yellow?”
“Dan, what do you mean when you say I don't have much ...?”
Crack down!
Before Ye Xiao could finish his sentence, he heard a cracking sound coming out of his dantian. He hurriedly looked and saw some cracks appearing in the dragon-shaped core and it was actually spreading slowly.
The Dragon-shaped Core was about to explode!
Ye Xiao was terrified again. If the dragon-shaped core exploded at this moment, he did not know if he could withstand the explosion and pain because he was already severely injured right now.
He also understood at this moment why the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon had told him to find Little Yellow quickly.
Without wasting any time, he entered the Heavenly Pearl and appeared in the Grassland. He looked around but did not see Little Yellow.
“He must have gone again to the forest here. How can I search in a short time when I don't even know how big the forest really is?” Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice as he ran towards the forest with his injured body.
He felt tremendous pain but what could he do at this moment? He'll have to look for her no matter what.
“Small Yellow! Small Yellow!”
Ye Xiao started shouting as he arrived at the outskirts of the forest. She did not know how to look for it so she started shouting and calling out the name she gave her.
“Don't I tell you to call me ‘Ratu’!”
As he was still shouting, he suddenly heard a childish but arrogant voice. He looked in the direction from which the childish voice came and saw that there was actually a beautiful and cute girl of five or six years old standing up and looking at him.
“Are you Small Yellow?” Ye Xiao was surprised to see it. He first thought about why a child had appeared here but when he thought about it, he felt it was impossible for anyone to appear here if he himself had not brought them here.
Then there was only one possible thing and that was Little Yellow somehow taking the form of a human girl.
“Huh! Call me Queen!” The little girl once again told him arrogantly to call her the Queen!
“Small Yellow, I don't have time now. Quickly heal me!” Ye Xiao did not call him ‘Ratu’ nor did he pay attention to what he said. Time was running out as the crack almost covered an area of about two-quarters of the dragon-shaped core.
Little Yellow was about to reply to him once more but at this moment he finally realized that Ye Xiao was charred black as if he was being burned by a terrifying fire. Not only that, there were also traces of blood on his lips and chin.
Seeing all this, Little Yellow did not say what he was going to say. He simply waved his hand and a drop of green liquid came out of his hand and flew towards Ye Xiao. A drop of green liquid went straight into Ye Xiao's mouth. Ye Xiao only managed to taste the sweet taste before quickly sliding down his throat and quickly spreading throughout his body. The wound began to heal quickly.
“This ..” Ye Xiao was shocked beyond measure seeing this.
“No need to wonder. She is the Queen of Plants and she can do more than just heal you.” At this moment, Ye Xiao once again heard the voice of the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon in his mind.
“Quickly and go to the First Floor of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda and circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique!” Ye Xiao was about to say something when he once again heard the voice of the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon in his mind.
“Small Yellow, see you again!” Ye Xiao looked at the five-year-old little girl in front of him and said. Then he immediately dashed towards the Nine-Tiered Pagoda.
“How do you know about my cultivation technique and Little Yellow, actually, how do you know so much about me?” While running, Ye Xiao asked this question to the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon.
“You don't need to know about that now. You will know in the future.” The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon said it emotionlessly.
“OK, at least tell me, why did I face the Heavenly Tribulation when I just broke through to the Martial King Realm?” Ye Xiao did not think about the problem before again and asked him something more important to know at this moment.
“This heavenly punishment mostly focuses on the destruction of your desires. If your wish is not strong enough, your mind and soul will be annihilated by heavenly tribulation,” said the Dragon God Eater of Heaven.
“What is this heavenly punishment?” Ye Xiao once again asked because he did not understand anything about the Heavenly Punishment.
“For others, it was just a small test from heaven to see if they deserved the new strength they gained after breaking through to a new realm or not, but for you, but for you, it was the will of the Heavenly Tao. Anyone who can threaten the Heavenly Taoist, will withdraw his punishment upon advancing.”
“Threatening the Heavenly Tao? Could it be because of the Heavenly Pearl and the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique?” Ye Xiao could not think of anything else at the moment. Only the Heavenly Pearls he had obtained by accident, were truly heaven-defying.
Not only could he join the memories of the three Ancient Gods because of the Heavenly Pearl, but he could also create nine dragons in his sea of consciousness and use their abilities as he wished because of the cultivation technique he had obtained from the Heavenly Pearl.
There are twelve mines. One of those mines was filled with Low-tier Spirit Stones. He had no idea what the other mines had in them, but he knew that those objects would definitely be more valuable than a Low-tier Spirit Stone.
“There are some things I can't tell you too much, or it won't be of benefit to you.” The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon replied to him. It paused then said again, “You just need to know that you are now an existence that can threaten Heaven in the future and annihilate you, a threat, Heaven will do anything. Just like this time, everyone faced Heavenly Tribulation as they advanced to the Ancestor Martial Realm but you faced it when you just broke through to the Martial King Realm.”
When Ye Xiao heard this, he thought of the time when he was locked in by the immense pressure. That heavenly punishment had unleashed an unstoppable aura. He had tried to escape at first, but he realized that he could not.
At the same time, he also understood how important a strong will was to martial cultivators. Cultivation was basically a path without retreating.
He took a deep breath. Thinking back on that lightning strike, Ye Xiao shivered. That lightning bolt was something he could not resist at all.
Then he once again thought in his heart, “Is it really what the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon said, and the heavenly punishment is just testing my will? If my will is destroyed, will I be destroyed under that heavenly punishment?”
Now, every time Ye Xiao recalled the time he was still facing the Heavenly Tribulation, he trembled in fear.
Ye Xiao once again arrived in front of the Nine Floors Pagoda and without stopping, he directly entered it. The cracks covered more than three-quarters of the dragon-shaped core in his dantian.
He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique. As he began to circulate his cultivation technique, the speed of the crack spread on the dragon-shaped core, suddenly increasing.
Not long after, the dragon-shaped core was filled with cracks and was about to explode.
