The moment when he opened his eyes, Ye Qingyu instantly realized that he had departed from the vast endless and boundless space of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
The things that his eyes saw was the true, real world.
But the next moment, he was able to sense a strange sensation that he had never experienced before from his own body. No matter whether it was his limbs or his body, his head or his fingers, even his eyelids, there was a weariness and weakness that could not be controlled...
It was as if this body did not belong to he himself.
He lay on the cold jade stone bed for an hour before he could move his body, and slowly sit up.
Jin Ling'er who had stood at the door of the [Light Palace] was the first person to discover that Ye Qingyu had awakened.
All the people of the City of Light began to grow excited.
Yu Junhan rushed here.
Lin Zheng, Yu Xiaoheng, Yu Feiyan and the others also hurried here.
Amidst the excited cheers and yells of everyone, Ye Qingyu had gradually gotten used to his own body.
He also discovered that there was some change that had occurred within his body.
Two days had passed by in just a flash. Ye Qingyu finally knew what had happened after he had suffered the tribulation of thunder and lightning.
Under the fire tree, and faintly moving his body, Ye Qingyu began to think about what he should do after this.
Especially when Yu Junhan did not open her mouth. He entirely did not know just how he should broach the subject, and make clear on the matter of his origins and background.
This was an extremely strange feeling. He wanted to know the truth, but at the same time wanted to avoid it. This made Ye Qingyu even more conflicted than confessing to a girl he liked.
Thinking it over, Ye Qingyu felt that perhaps he could lay this matter aside for now.
There was timid emotion in his heart.
Apart from this, there was also Song Xiaojun and Yu Xiaoxing...
Ye Qingyu was not an idiot. Ever since Wen Wan had hinted at what had happened between Song Xiaojun and Yu Xiaoxing, he understood something.
As a man...
En, Demon King Ye finally felt that he was a man. To be able to make two exceptional girls such as them like him, the vanity that was deep within his heart was satisfied slightly.
But in truth, what Ye Qingyu was more concerned about was whether the memories of Song Xiaojun had recovered or not.
As for Yu Xiaoxing...
"Could it be between girls with the character 'Xiao', it is easy for them to have feelings towards me?"
Ye Qingyu cursed at himself in his heart.
Although he had faced Yu Xiaoxing several times after he awakened, and Ye Qingyu was calm on the outside, but the atmosphere was also somewhat strange.
Thankfully, the Yu Xiaoxing who was the 'Crown Prince' was also very busy in these days. In a day, she had less than half an hour's time to come see Ye Qingyu.
Of course, he also needed to think of a way to recover his strength.
"My soul and consciousness are not even a hundredth part of what it was in the past. It's because a part of my soul was being imprisoned within the [Cloud Top Couldron] that I was able to awaken, and that I can even enter the interior of the [Cloud Top Cauldron]!"
Ye Qingyu was very clear on the reason why his soul was so fragile right now.
After suffering Heavenly Punishment, because of some sort of reason, his soul was protected by the [Cloud Top Cauldron]. The little silver dragon had managed to preserve a shred of his life force behind, and afterwards Yu Junhan used her blood essence and yuan qi essence, to aid him to restoring his body. Furthermore, the secret techniques of the [Light Palace] had called his slumbering soul to awaken...
But Ye Qingyu knew that a part of his soul was still trapped within the [Cloud Top Cauldron], with no way to escape.
In these two days of time, Ye Qingyu had tried many times, but had no way of entirely attracting the soul out of the [cloud Top Cauldron].
Since his soul was not complete, it naturally caused his inner yuan to be like an underground volcano. It could not explode, it could only gather strength, gradually growing.
Right now, this was the reason Ye Qingyu could not entirely use his yuan qi cultivation.
Right now, in terms of yuan qi cultivation, his strength was not even comparable to a martial expert at the peak of the five Spirit springs stage.
But, conversely...
"The power of my fleshly body did not descend but rapidly shot up. Although I have not entirely gotten used to it, but I am sure that it can be comparable to experts at the early Heaven Ascension stage."
Ye Qingyu moved his palms, feeling an endless and limitless power flowing between his bones and flesh.
Perhaps it was because Yu Junhan used her own blood essence to treat Ye Qingyu's injuries. The end result was that the power of this blood essence had completely immersed in Ye Qingyu's body shred by shred.
Ye Qingyu already had no way of guessing just how high Yu Junhan's cultivation was.
But he could be sure that in a drop of her blood essence, the energy it contained could be compared with the full power strike of a Heaven Ascension stage expert at the early stages. It was unknown just how many droplets of blood essence Ye Qingyu had received from her. Therefore, the energy he received was naturally like a vast ocean.
If Yu Junhan was really his own mother, then using his mother's blood to restore his body was tantamount to Ye Qingyu's body being reborn once again.
In the martial realm, such a fortuitous encounter was really too rare.
This was equal to changing one's fate and destiny, changing one's natural body after being born.
If there were any imperfections previously in Ye Qingyu's body, after this process of being reborn, along with the peerless blood essence of Yu Junhan, as well as the vast power of the [Light Palace], Ye Qingyu's fleshly body had nearly turned into a perfect substance.
This was an incomparable body type.
Of course, these were all just Ye Qingyu's guesses. It still needed time to test and experiment.
Indicating for Jin Ling'er to stand by the side, Ye Qingyu faintly moved. He warmed up slightly, then his aura changed. Move by move began to be exhibited.
What he used was what Wen Wan had taught him in the first lesson during White Deer Academy. These were arts of body refinement, the [Snake Stance] of the [Eight Divine Stances].
With Ye Qingyu's current martial understanding, to exhibit such a basic body refinement technique, every move was like an immortal dancing under the moon, as if he was one with nature.
"Golden snake traverse the land!"
Ye Qingyu loudly shouted.
His body was extremely coordinated. Every muscle on his body was like a golden snake crawling, slowly moving and twirling. From top to bottom, there was a sense of beauty that was hard to describe filling him.
Pa!Pa!Pa!
Light sounds constantly emitted from the bone marrow within various parts of Ye Qingyu's body.
It was like a rusted piece of machinery that was beginning to move once again. Only then would such noise be produced.
A short while later.
Ye Qingyu had completely finished the moves of the [Snake Stance].
A gentle warmth was moving about his limbs and body. It was enough to make him clearly feel that his ability to control his own body was slowly returning.
The moves changed.
Ye Qingyu began to train in the [Tiger Stance].
There were roars of tigers that constantly exploded out from within Ye Qingyu's body.
Training till he was intoxicated, the skeleton within Ye Qingyu's body supported his body and propped his muscles out, as if there was a mighty tiger rumbling around within his body. It was currently refining and training his tendons as well as muscles.
In the next two hours, Ye Qingyu completely demonstrated and practiced all the moves of the [Eight Divine Stances].
When the last move was finsihed, Ye Qingyu stood where he was, his aura calm.
He was already able to utterly control this body.
The him at this time was deep like an abyss, his body unmoving. It was like he was an ancient divine mountain, giving someone a sensation wherein they could not stare upon him. It was as if even though heaven collapsed and the earth broke, it would not even affect Ye Qingyu slightly.
"Master, your strength... it's recovered?"
Jin Ling'er let out a delighted gasp by the side.
From his perspective, after Ye Qingyu had completely done all the moves of the [Eight Divine Stances], his heavy and sharp aura had once again returned to him. There was perhaps even more pressure than in the past. This little fellow by the side nearly could not breathe due to such heavy pressure.
There was a faint smile that appeared on Ye Qingyu's lips. Shaking his head, "There's only some small gains. My yuan qi is still not completely recovered..."
"Oh..." Hearing this, Jin Ling'er was somewhat disappointed. But then he instantly pretended to be incomparably excited, "Master. you are so amazing. You will definitely quickly recover. Don't force yourself."
Ye Qingyu laughed loudly.
"You little fellow, you are thinking of consoling me? Don't worry, your master has experienced many life and death events ever since rising from Deer City. How could I grow impatient and flustered by such a temporary problem?"
Jin Ling'er laughingly stuck his tongue out.
"Go cultivate, there's no need to accompany me. " Ye Qingyu waved his hands. "As the saying goes, the song does not leave one's mouth, and a fist cannot leave one's hand. A martial experts cultivation is going against the flow, if you do not advance you will fall. You have already wasted significant amounts of time by accompanying me."
Seeing that Ye Qingyu's strength had recovered significantly, and his situation had stabilized, he could finally rest assured. Obediently following instructions, he turned and left.
Ye Qingyu smiled.
His little disciple, although he liked to play around, but he knew how to deal with sudden changes in emotions. He was after all a child that came from a poor background, and had a pure heart. His efforts in raising him was not wasted.
Slowly sensing the changes occurring within his own body, Ye Qingyu returned to the [Light Palace].
"The blood essence that Aunt Han left behind in my body, half of it was used for my fleshy body to recover. A little bit of it was refined into the training just now. But the large part of it still existed within my bones. But if I am able to completely refine all of it, then the power of my fleshly body would be enough to shake the heavens!" “
Sitting in a meditative position on the cold jade stone chair, Ye Qingyu was already exceedingly clear about his own state.
After all, the [Eight Divine Stances] was only a basic body refining technique. After using it completely once, Ye Qingyu knew that it no longer had much benefit in helping him refine the hidden energy within his own body.
As he thought of this, he began activating the [True Will of the Sky Dragon].
The [True Will of the Sky Dragon] belonged to the category of one's martial will. It had no relations to the power of one's soul or spirit, but rather the determination and will of a martial artist. Even with Ye Qingyu's current situation, he could easily use it.
This type of martial will was truly the ultimate body refining technique.
Ye Qingyu decided to use the [True Will of the Sky Dragon] to refine his body, and to completely refine the hiding potential energy within his body. Since he had no way of solving the problem with his inner yuan, first increasing the power of his fleshly body was also a decent option.
In the next tens of days, Ye Qingyu utilized the time well to quickly refine the hidden energy in his body.
Of course, he would also take some time out everyday to see everyone.
He would also give advice to the martial cultivation of Bai Yuanxing and the others.
Half a month later, within the Earth Fire sword pit, there was a strange change that occurred. The chaotic storm vortex within the skies completely disappeared. An ancient stone doorway and gate began to appear within the air, being born into the world.
The most central Domain Gate was finally completely opened---
