As Tie Zhu listened to Wang Yazhu's narration, his heart pounded faster in his chest. "This has a lot in common with the cultivation novels I read when I was younger," he thought. "The first people who wrote these novels must have been cultivators themselves." He imagined himself as the protagonist of his own world and thought, "Hahahaha, the heavens really do have eyes. Things might finally start turning my way."
"W-w-what! This black rock is that valuable?!" he exclaimed, his eyes filled with fear and greed. Although he wasn't a greedy person, the temptation of so much wealth was simply too much, especially considering his background. He knew that the black rock had to be special, but he had no idea it would be worth so much. This however this is exactly what caused fear to seep into his heart. If someone knew that he carried something so valuable they would not hesitate to kill him over it, going to any lengths possible to extort it from him! 'I cannot let anybody know this secret' He resolutely said to himself.
Knowing that Tie Zhu would eventually ask these questions, the Tentacle god replied "Accessing the Spatial stone is simple. All you have to do is direct some of your spiritual essence into it. This will enable you to see the contents inside with your mind and materialize them at will. But first, you have to establish a blood connection with it, making it so that only you can access the contents inside. If someone else takes the stone, they will only see it as an ordinary object. This connection will only disappear upon your death or if you purposely sever the link by removing your imprint. But before you do any of that, you must first step into the world of cultivation and reach the Qi Condensation stage to be able to input your spiritual essence."
"As for what to call me," the Tentacle God continued, "my name is Wang Yazhu, but you should call me master."
Upon hearing that only he would be able to access the contents inside the stone, Tie Zhu breathed a huge sigh of relief, and the pressure of someone discovering his secret slowly dissipated. "How can I begin cultivating?" he asked eagerly.
Upon hearing Tie Zhu's eagerness, Wang Yazhu explained "In fact there are countless roads that you can take to step on the road to cultivation. Most of which begin with breathing exercises that require you to absorb the natural Qi from the environment and channel it through your meridians and into your Dantian. These breathing techniques however are not all created equal, with some infinitely more advanced than others! By choosing the techniques suited to you will you be able to progress with your full potential. Although you can choose to later change your technique in the future, it is best not to do so too late as you may be required to destroy your cultivation base and start again from nothing! To even break in to the Qi Gathering stage you must first understand the basics of spiritual energy and how it flows within your body. This is the foundation of all cultivation, and without it, you will not be able to progress further."
"Since you possess a pure Yang body, it is only natural for you to choose a more advanced technique, or you would be squandering your talent. However, I have a different suggestion. Since you have yet to commence your cultivation, I suggest that you use the quickest technique to first attain the stage of Qi Condensation. Upon reaching the Qi Condensation stage, you will then have access to the spatial rock where I have stored a drop of the Blood Essence of a primordial dragon, which will result in significant advancements in your physical body. After that, you can restart your cultivation using one of the most advanced techniques, the Primordial Heavenly Devouring Technique, developed by the Primordial Dragon God himself. The reason that this technique is considered so legendary is due to the fact that the Primordial Dragon God was the only living being ever known to have reached the Pinnacle of Ascended Gods not once, but twice! When he recommenced his cultivation, he utilized all his wisdom and experience to develop this technique, allowing him to reclimb the ranks from Qi Gathering to re-enter the stage of Ascended God in just 5000 years, which is unparalleled throughout the entire universe as it usually takes at least 100000 years."
"!!! Primordial Heavenly Devouring... What an imposing name," Tie Zhu thought to himself, excitement coursing through his veins as he envisioned himself at the height of power.
"Ever since the Primordial Dragon God ascended twice, the Primordial Dragon race has stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realms, despite the fact that their race only numbers a few hundred! This is only possible due to the technique that only those with the bloodline of a Primordial dragon can practice. In fact, because of that technique, as long as a Primordial Dragon is born, it will inevitably reach the stage of Ascended Gods, assuming their talent is not too poor. This shows just how formidable the technique is," Wang Yazhu continued.
"Since it is so formidable, how did you manage to obtain it? And speaking of which, how did you come across the blood essence of that dragon?" Tie Zhu replied, sounding somewhat skeptical.
'This seems too good to be true. Why would he give something that valuable to me?' he secretly thought.
"To answer your first question, since only Primordial Dragons can practice that technique, its methods were not kept a closely guarded secret and were well known throughout the Ascended Gods, who tried to gain enlightenment from it. However, the cost was extremely high as countless treasures were exchanged for it with those greedy dragons as payment," Wang Yazhu scowled. However, when it came to the blood essence, Wang Yazhu paused for a moment.
"To answer your first question, since only Primordial Dragons can practice that technique, its method was not kept too much under secrecy and pretty well known throughout the Ascended Gods as they tried to gain enlightenment from it. The cost of this however was extremely high, as countless treasures were exchanged to those greedy dragons as payment!" He scowled. However on the topic of the blood essence Wang Yazhu paused for a second.
The reason for this was because he was embarrassed, and if he had a face it would be dyed red. This was because a long time a go, when he was just a Tentacle monster at a Divine Warrior rank he himself was raped by a female Primordial Dragon that desperately wanted children of her own! That dragon didn't even bother transforming into her human form and mounted him continuously for 10 years nonstop without giving him a chance to rest! It was the only time in his life that he had been defeated in that way and one that was deeply embedded in his mind. Since then, he instinctively shuddered at any mention of the words female dragon! "Well.. you see.. Lets just say that I'm a father of a half primordial dragon... And as repayment I was rewarded with it.."ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ He replied solemnly, as memories rushed back to him.
"You might be wondering why I am giving you the blood essence. There are actually two reasons for this. The first is that the quicker you progress, the quicker I can be free, and the second is that even if I was in my original body I wouldn't dare try taking it that way. Primordial Dragons blood is extremely overbearing and those without special constitutions would explode upon fusing themselves with it. You however are special, your Pure Yang body will allow you to assimilate with other races! Now then, what are your thoughts?" He finished.
