With a single thought, Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate. A drop of his essence blood fell directly into the Observation Scripture (The Scripture of Seeing Through).
Swoosh!
In an instant, a mystical "All Beings Myriad Phenomena Diagram" appeared before his eyes.
Vivid images unfolded—bustling human scenes with merchants, porters, farmers, officials, and nobles. It was as though he had suddenly been placed into a real, living world.
Each moment pulsed with countless events and stories, so real that one could easily be immersed, unable to pull away.
The greatest mystery of the Observation Scripture lay in this very visualization—the All Beings Myriad Phenomena Diagram. Without it, the scripture would be ordinary. With it, it became a supreme treasure. It allowed one to enter a marvelous state of mind.
Immediately, countless profound insights poured into Yi Tianxing's mind.
"The path of body refinement lies in undying, indestructible flesh—in eternal immortality. Heaven cannot destroy me, Earth cannot bury me.The sun and moon are my eyes, my hair like dragons, my blood like the Milky Way, my bones like celestial pillars.All things decay, but I remain. Even if heaven and earth collapse, I will endure. In the Sea of Bitterness, my body is the divine vessel."
"My Dao is to seek the eternal and indestructible, to exist forever."
"Body refinement encompasses skin, flesh, bones, meridians, marrow, blood, organs—every part must be flawless. A single flaw becomes a weakness, a crack in perfection."
"Body refinement is strength. With blood and power, crush all. Shatter the void. Will becomes truth. The stronger the will, the stronger the power it unleashes."
One emperor after another appeared in dragon robes, roaring as they performed various body refinement techniques—each one different, each direction unique.
Unknowingly, Yi Tianxing's mind seemed to traverse millions of years. Again and again, within the Myriad Phenomena Diagram, he incarnated into countless body cultivators, experiencing countless reincarnations—repeatedly polishing the path of body refinement from the ground up.
It was as though his soul had split into thousands of incarnations, each cultivating a different body refinement art.
Many of these techniques even originated from the Martial Ancestor's Legacy Monuments, martial arts from the previous era.
Of course, his focus remained on the eight major body refinement techniques he had cultivated himself.
This time, he wasn't just training bits and pieces—he practiced each technique from the lowest stage to the peak, extracting its essence, comprehending its transformations, and integrating it into his foundation. Even the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art evolved continuously throughout this process.
"My body refinement path ultimately revolves around perfect synergy with my bloodline—unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Body.This body contains my Dao, my imperial destiny. It is rooted in my bloodline and links everything together.I can merge body refinement and qi cultivation into one—both serving to forge my supreme imperial foundation."
Body refinement techniques must align with one's bloodline. Only by complementing each other can they reach the ultimate form.
In the previous epoch, the Bloodline Martial Path was pushed to its extreme—even the Martial Ancestor followed this path: awakening one's bloodline, evolving it, returning to ancestral roots, and then transcending even that.
Martial arts themselves were a form of body cultivation—excavating the potential of the flesh, the blood, and every hidden treasure within the body.
With his Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Body, the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, and his eight body refinement methods, Yi Tianxing advanced further.
Under the radiance of the Bodhi Seed, his wisdom reached its peak. He was in a state of constant insight, as if soaring through the Grand Dao itself—perfect in every way. Insights gathered naturally.
And then, a unique new cultivation technique began to form.
The moment this technique crystallized—
In the skies above Xuanhuang Immortal City, countless tribulation clouds suddenly surged into existence, covering the heavens. Lightning danced, ghosts wailed, the sun and moon inverted—day and night switching back and forth in chaos. It felt like doomsday.
"What's going on?! Why did the sky suddenly change? This phenomenon is terrifying!"
"Ghostly wails and flipped heavens—clearly, something defying the natural order has emerged. In our city—could it be… the Holy King again?!"
"This momentum is unreal. It's a true change in heaven. Whatever it is, it challenges the very laws of existence!"
Hidden cultivators and powerful experts sensed it too. Some watched silently, others revealed complicated emotions. Many showed envy or even suppressed rage.
Great Yi was becoming stronger every day, and many powerhouses from other forces were deeply concerned.
None of them wanted another heaven-defying treasure or miracle to emerge from Great Yi.
Great Yi was already strong—not just in military or supernatural strength, but in its civil foundation. Its livelihood, prosperity, and public well-being far surpassed most Destiny Dynasties. This civil strength was the root of its rise.
Great Yi possessed all the ingredients for explosive growth.
"It's Husband!"
All the imperial consorts instinctively turned to look toward Emperor Heart Palace.
"It's Father!"
Even Yi Xianhuang and the children sensed it, inexplicably feeling a surge of heat from their blood—as if something within them wanted to awaken, yet a formless barrier held it back.
It was the call of bloodline resonance.
Yet the terrifying celestial phenomenon didn't last long. A colossal Destiny True Dragon appeared and roared, tearing through the tribulation clouds with ease. All heavenly wills within Great Yi had been weakened to the extreme.
Had this happened outside Great Yi, it would have triggered divine lightning and world-ending tribulations. Everything might have been obliterated. That's the price for birthing a heaven-defying cultivation art.
The more complete the Heavenly Dao, the stronger the punishment. Today's Eternal Heavenly Dao had grown very powerful.
"The Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Scripture is finally complete—merging the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, unifying all body cultivation paths,and centered around the ultimate visualization: the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Diagram—with nine distinct emperor diagrams,each corresponding to a body refinement realm."
"This scripture is no less than the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Scripture. In fact, they stem from the same source—one trains qi, the other body.Combined, they form my ultimate root—the true Eternal Heavenly Emperor Scripture."
Yi Tianxing was filled with boundless joy. Body and qi cultivation—unified, balanced—now formed the ultimate foundation of his Dao.
At the core of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Scripture were nine visualization diagrams:
Heavenly Emperor – Prison Suppressing Diagram
Devil Emperor – Earth Subjugation Diagram
Nether Emperor – Blood Sea Diagram
Immortal Emperor – Sky Turning Diagram
Dragon Emperor – Ocean Anchoring Diagram
Divine Emperor – Heavenly Thunder Diagram
Demon Emperor – Sun Diagram
Star Emperor – Moon Diagram
Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Diagram
The final diagram was a fusion and evolution of the first eight. With Heavenly Emperor Will, it ruled over all emperors—one Emperor, eight Sovereigns.
The diagrams merged with the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, sharing the same source. Each diagram represented the ultimate body refinement path for its realm—and for Yi Tianxing, they were a perfect match, allowing him to unleash two, three, even several times his usual combat power.
"Visualize the Heavenly Emperor – Prison Suppressing Diagram!"
Yi Tianxing began cultivating anew, reshaping his foundation through this visualization. This wasn't difficult—it was an evolution from his previous cultivation methods.
The image appeared naturally in his mind.
A majestic figure in emperor robes stood tall, exuding overwhelming authority—it was Yi Tianxing himself. Beneath his feet stretched an endless hell, filled with ghosts and demons, all crushed under his will. Evil itself was suppressed beneath his gaze.
This entire scene manifested within his Prison Suppressing Seal, which now contained a world of hell—a miniature realm evolving within the seal.
The seal now functioned like a cave-heaven treasure, much like the Buddhist Palm World. The stronger the hell realm inside, the stronger the seal became. When activated, it was like an entire world smashing down.
This transformation was one of the many marvels of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Scripture. His bloodline's origin power continuously refined the seal, pushing it further.
He could see it—the hell world inside the seal had reached the level of a minor world, and now seven stars had appeared on its surface.
This meant it could unleash sevenfold power instantly.
"Visualize the Devil Emperor – Earth Subjugation Diagram!"
With the Prison Suppressing Seal transformed, Yi Tianxing began the next visualization. Soon, another vast earth realm emerged—this time within the Subjugation Seal...
