Beneath the yellow earth and stone walls, the only thing that could be seen was the gentle breeze that brushed one's face.
Ao Fan sat on the land and listened to what Elder Blood Peak had said to him, every word and sentence he had memorised in his mind, not daring to forget a single thing.
Listening to what Elder Blood Peak meant, "Sea of Blood" was actually a dharma that could only be learnt at the Dao Realm, and with Ao Fan's current ability, if he were to forcefully cultivate it, he would inevitably die from the bursting of his blood veins.
However, Elder Blood Peak also had another dharma decision to teach Ao Fan to cultivate. This Dharma Decree Ao Fan had to learn, only by learning this Dharma Decree and making his own physique improve according to a certain purpose could he fulfil the conditions for cultivating the Blood Sea Heavens.
"Learning this dharma decision, you will feel extraordinary pain, are you sure you can endure it and not stop cultivating?" Elder Blood Peak finally asked, his gaze a little grave.
Ao Fan's mind flashed through the Dragon Emperor's disdainful eyes and angry face, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can endure it, please teach me Elder."
Elder Blood Peak nodded and taught this dharma to Ao Fan.
Following Elder Blood Peak's request, Ao Fan closed his eyes tightly and controlled the Yuan Qi in his body's meridians and began to flow in the reverse direction.
Just as Elder Blood Peak said, reversing the Yuan Qi, Ao Fan felt that his meridians were very painful, as if they would collapse at any time. However, his goal was precisely to prop up the meridians and crack them!
The Yuan Qi within the meridians was flowing faster and faster, while also absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the surrounding space, causing Ao Fan to also feel his meridians becoming more and more painful.
He sat there, his face pale, and his forehead with a pair of red dragon horns was still constantly dripping with fine sweat that rolled down his cheeks. His body trembled slightly, enduring pain that normal people simply couldn't endure.
"Crackle." His meridians let out a loud crunching sound, the sound was very loud, and it was evident that he was about to lose his support. His lips were about to bleed from biting, yet he still increased the speed of his Yuan Qi reversal, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the air around him was absorbed by him at a faster rate.
During this process, Elder Blood Peak's eyes were placed on Ao Fan and never left.
"Snap!" Another burst of popping sounds rang out, and a trace of blood hung down from the corner of Ao Fan's mouth, which had been bitten out by him hard.
Inside his body, because of the reverse flow of Yuan Qi, his meridians finally cracked, and a trace of Yuan Qi flowed out of his meridians as a result, and then it actually fused towards his blood.
Normally, Yuan Qi that flowed out of the meridians would immediately dissipate into the air. However, Ao Fan had learnt the Blood Peak Elder's dharma, but was able to fuse those Yuan Qi into his blood, thus starting an alternative cultivation.
After his Yuan Qi flowed into his blood veins, it continued to circulate along the blood against the current, with great difficulty, and at the same time, it caused Ao Fan torturous pain.
When the Blood Peak Elder saw that Ao Fan was actually so persistent, he couldn't help but nod his head and a trace of appreciation flashed in his gaze. Secretly, he said, ''As long as you support yourself this time, you won't have such pain in the future, and your cultivation speed will be able to grow by leaps and bounds. What exactly is it that can make you endure such pain to persevere?"
The day gradually passed, a few dark clouds floated through the air, and the sky got a little darker.
As the day would pass, Ao Fan finally finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, which were filled with unspeakable exhaustion.
"You were able to hold it together, very good!" The Blood Peak Elder rarely opened his mouth to praise.
Ao Fan moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but because of the intense fatigue, he only opened his mouth and closed it again, unable to even utter a single word.
"Rest well, you will be able to return once you have rested, remember to come over tomorrow." Elder Blood Peak instructed, after saying that, he closed his eyes and cultivated, not wasting any bit of time, no wonder with the red dragon's natural talent it was able to override all the dragons in the Dragon Domain.
After Ao Fan finished resting, he realised that Xiao Ling'er had come to Zhou's side early and was looking on worriedly. He said that he was fine and told her not to worry, and bowed to the Blood Peak Elder again, taking Little Spirit back.
Inside an unknown hall, there was a fluorescent deep blue light shining on the walls, while dozens of inlaid beads emitted a blinding white light. Under the stone walls on the east and west sides, there is also a row of candlesticks, on which burns a strange fire, with all different colours, colourful and gorgeous.
In the four corners, there are also four blue jade pillars, the pillars are engraved with double dragons playing pearls, the top of each has a huge pearl shining. The most amazing thing was the crystal dragon statue in the centre of the hall. It was a coiled dragon statue carved in crystal, lifelike, and although it was coiled, its huge mouth was wide open, roaring silently, and vaguely, it seemed as if there was also a mighty pressure coming from it.
"What, you really want to do this?" Within this beautiful temple, a voice of suppressed anger suddenly came out. Listening to its voice, it was a familiar female voice, it was actually the voice of the Dragon Race's Imperial Mother, Fang Xue.
Fang Xue was standing beside that crystal dragon statue, she was wearing a light green palace dress, tied with a fuchsia belt, her long hair was tied up in a bun with a light green hairpin. She had a beautiful face, but at the moment, she had a furious look on her face as she looked at the heroic figure opposite her.
That figure wore a golden robe with a green belt around his waist, and his long hair was bunned up with two white ribbons. Underneath the hair were two thick eyebrows, and further down were a pair of eyes full of might and a high nose, as well as a deep, thick lip.
He was none other than the Dragon Emperor!
"It is only natural for this Emperor to do so! Look at yesterday, Ao Fan even brought Ling'er to the Imperial Kitchen Hall to eat and drink without any image, greatly disgracing himself in front of those cooks, what kind of behaviour is this? If there is no more discipline, Ling'er will also be brought down by it." The Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Just because of that?" Fang Xue said unhappily, "Just because of such an insignificant matter, you're going to separate Ling'er and Fan'er and prevent them from seeing each other again? They are brother and sister, how can you prevent them from seeing each other!"
"Hmph, what this emperor has said will never be changed." The Dragon Emperor snorted coldly and continued, "Furthermore, this Emperor is only allowing Ling'er to come here to cultivate. This place is thick with Yuan Qi, it can be considered one of the thickest places within the Dragon Domain, if Ling'er cultivates here, her cultivation will surely grow by leaps and bounds in a single day, and it is possible for her to step into the Dao Realm in just a few years."
"I'm not against Ling'er coming here to cultivate." Fang Xue calmed down and said to the Dragon Emperor, "While Ling'er is in cultivation, will she be able to meet with Fan'er?"
"Can't!" The Dragon Emperor decisively refused.
"Why?" Fang Xue's gaze narrowed and said.
"Cultivation is so difficult, how can one be distracted by external matters. Ling'er is here to cultivate, it's best not to touch external things, when she cultivates to the third level of the Mortal Realm, when will she be allowed to be free." The Dragon Emperor spoke indifferently.
"You're imprisoning Ling'er!" Fang Xue coldly said.
"Hmph, as an Upper Order Divine Beast White Dragon, it is natural to cultivate hard and reach the Dao Realm the fastest. Moreover, with her qualifications, it wouldn't have taken much time to cultivate to the third level of the Mortal Realm. After cultivating here, the speed can even increase several times, and it may only take three or four years to reach the goal." The Dragon Emperor said.
"What about Fan'er, what are you going to do to him?" Fang Xue asked.
A trace of disgust flashed through the Dragon Emperor's gaze as he said, "He can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't disgrace this clan, going to sleep every day is none of this Emperor's business."
After saying that, he actually left directly.
