“Alright, that’s about enough.” Outside the lava lake, Yaoyao observed the fully formed lava cauldron for a moment before lightly clapping once. She gave a little upward jerk of her chin and said, “Mm, go in.”

Zhou Yuan gazed at the lava cauldron, which seemed to contain a vast sea of lava. Lava heaved within it, creating giant waves as extremely terrifying undulations pulsed.

He could not help but gulp repeatedly.

His body was tough enough that he would not be harmed by the lava. However, this lava cauldron was clearly not so simple. Yaoyao had inscribed numerous ancient cryptic Genesis Runes on it, and they surely served to amplify the lava’s power.

Although his life should not be threatened, there would be a lot of suffering if he entered.

Yaoyao said, “This Earth Core Thousand Flame Cauldron can refine and purify your Heavenly Dragon Qi. It will also deepen your connection with the Heavenly Dragon Qi, and when that happens, it will be your best chance to dig out the Genesis arts within.

“Tuntun’s current capabilities should be pretty good. If even it is forced to seek you out for help, the problems waiting for you should not be trivial. Hence, you need to improve your combat capabilities.

“With me around, Saint stage existences will maintain our unspoken agreement of not interfering. However, it will not be appropriate for me to interfere below that level.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. The big bosses should stick to their roles and intimidate each other, while the fights should be left to the underlings.

Yaoyao reminded, “The Ancestral Dragon Scripture is filled with endless profound wonders, which naturally includes Genesis arts. However, these arts are also categorized into different ranks. How strong or weak the Genesis art you manage to dig out will still depend on you.

“These Genesis arts from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture have another advantage: they will have a high affinity with you. You will be able to understand them in the fastest possible time, and there will be no need to continuously try to comprehend and polish them like other Saint Genesis arts.”

Zhou Yuan’s heart shook a little. Saint Genesis arts had insane power but were also famously difficult to master. From what Yaoyao had said, the Saint Genesis arts he dug out from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture would be much easier for him to learn.

“I’ll be going in, then.” Zhou Yuan composed himself as he cast his gaze at the lava cauldron. He moved, turning into a blur as he shot directly into it.

He entered the cauldron and found another separate domain inside it. A sea of endless lava roared ferociously, thousands of waves rising and falling.

Zhou Yuan could not help but wet his lips. He had personally watched Yaoyao create the cauldron. From this cauldron, one could see how terrifying Yaoyao had become.

If she wanted to, it would not be a problem to exchange blows with a Saint expert.

“It seems that I’ll have to work hard.” Zhou Yuan sighed. He had originally believed he could at least relax a little after stepping into the Nascent Source stage. However, Yaoyao’s current strength made him feel a growing pressure.

Moreover, Yaoyao’s divinity was still a thorn in his heart. Zhou Yuan understood that he currently did not have the qualifications to probe about it because he wasn’t strong enough yet.

He would perhaps need at least the power to challenge the Saint stage before he could begin to influence the future a little.

Various thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s head, but he ultimately pushed them aside. He cast away his hesitation and jumped down, creating a big splash of magma with a loud plop.

When Zhou Yuan entered the lava, ancient Genesis Runes began to emerge on the cauldron’s walls. Countless runes spread, reaching into the lava sea.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan felt an endless heat surge towards him from every direction. The intensity made even his Saint Glass Body turn red-hot. Pain washed over him, making him grimace a little.

However, he was no longer some ignorant greenhorn. He immediately suppressed the pain and seated himself as he began to circulate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.

Roar!

Boundless platinum Genesis Qi, accompanied by a unique pressure, rushed in his body like a raging river as a faint dragon roar echoed.

This was the World Subduing Heavenly Dragon Qi he currently cultivated.

The Heavenly Dragon Qi was a grade-8 Genesis Qi. Just one more level, and it would become the grade-9 Galaxy Sacred Dragon Qi!

A grade-9 Genesis Qi was extremely rare even in all nine heavens. Only great factions with Saint experts would be able to pass down such powerful Genesis Qi cultivation methods.

However, it was exceedingly difficult to raise the grade of one’s Genesis Qi. Zhou Yuan had a feeling that the only way to reach grade 9 was to retrieve the sacred dragon blessing in Wu Yao’s body.

Zhou Yuan slowly closed his eyes, allowing the lava to invade his body. He was like a statue, completely still and unmoving.

The Heavenly Dragon Qi circulated in his body, gradually transforming into a dragon silhouette around him.

Outside the cauldron, Yaoyao, watching him, suddenly extended a hand. A strand of mysterious matter flowed out.

When it appeared, the entire forest fell deathly silent.

It was as if an indescribable pressure had enveloped the land.

It was divine matter, something that even Saints desired.

In the Tianyuan World, Yaoyao was the only other person who possessed it besides the Sacred Race’s god.

Yaoyao stared at the mysterious divine matter as her eyes flickered faintly. She turned towards the cauldron and softly said, “Zhou Yuan, I know your thoughts. Don’t worry, I won’t easily give up either.

“But before all that, I will do everything possible to make you stronger.

“Whatever the future holds, we will face it together.”

As her voice sounded, the mysterious matter in her hand disappeared into space. It penetrated the cauldron domain and landed in the lava.

The lava sea seemed to gain a life of its own. As it breathed, it created a torrential wave of heavenly fire.

Tiny ancient runes swiftly zipped through the lava. They reached Zhou Yuan and slowly climbed onto his body.

Zhou Yuan’s entire being violently shuddered.

He sensed the world changing around him and found himself in what appeared to be a formless domain.

Deep within the primal chaos, a pair of giant eyes opened, eyes that could encompass the world.

It appeared to be an ancient dragon enormous beyond imagination. Countless light beams suddenly shot towards Zhou Yuan like a meteor shower.

As the meteor shower approached, Zhou Yuan discovered that each streak of light contained an ancient dragon scale.

The scales glowed with a wondrous light. At closer inspection, one would see numerous characters appear on the scales and sense an indescribable feeling of mystery and profoundness.

His heart shook, and his pupils widened.

He realized that there was a Genesis art record on each scale!

Moreover, all of them were Saint Genesis arts!
