Beginning Cultivation, 1 year till Yun Che's wedding

Ao Rai walked through the gates and entered into Floating Cloud City.

"Hmm, so this is Floating Cloud City, where the Xiao Clan and Xia Family are located, as well as Yun Che himself. The first thing I should do is find out roughly what year this is in relation to the start of the original story, and from there I can get to work absorbing DNA from Xia Yuanba and the Evil God's blood to begin upgrading my World Dao Profound Veins."

Ao Rai inspected his body internally as he walked into the city, all 54 of his profound entrances were open as he possessed incredible natural talent due to the World Dao Profound Veins, however aside from the internal world and incredible natural talent of the World Dao Profound Veins, they did not possess any factors which could directly help within battle, or if they did he had not yet become strong enough to gain knowledge of them, hence Ao Rai thought it was a good idea to find Xia Yuanba and replicate his DNA to add the effects of the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins, and if possible to find Jasmine and take the Evil God Blood in order to replicate those effects too, however that would only be possible if the time was right as she might not have landed on the planet yet, and could still be in the Realm of the Gods.

"Life is already starting to blossom inside my internal world thats good, but only single cell organisms so far, however the time flow within that world is 1000 times that of the outside world, so hopefully evolution will occur faster, especially when I introduce some outside organisms into the ecosystem."

As Ao Rai stopped looking at his current body and capabilities, he finally stepped into the city. The city itself was bustling and filled with people, going about their daily business. Ao Rai was assaulted by a multitude of smells, and vibrant sights as he walked along the street. Ao Rai decided to ask someone when Xia Qingyue's wedding was since that would give him a good idea of the time he had to work with before Jasmine arrived with the Evil God's blood, or if she already had. Grabbing a drunk man off the side of the road, Ao Rai asked,"Excuse me, when is Xia Qingyue's wedding?"

Shocked by the sudden question the drunk man slurred angrily,"Why do you care, its in 1 year punk, now get lost."

Too lazy to care about such a slight, having seen many similar occurrences throughout his past lives, Ao Rai simply turned and walked away, a well hidden light flashing through his eyes.

"A year till I can get my hands on the Evil God's blood eh, I will begin cultivating without the Evil God's veins then, so be it. I will simply replicate the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins to begin with, which will allow my cultivation to skyrocket, allowing me to unlock more capabilities for my World Dao Physique, and have no issues when I find Jasmine in a year's time for that Evil God's blood."

Ao Rai walked around the city, before he found the residence of the Xia Family, but he decided to sit and wait outside the manor, and begin cultivation since the chances of him being admitted into the manor with zero cultivation, were minuscule, it would be easier for him to wait for Xia Yuanba to exit the manor himself.

As Ao Rai began to cultivate for the first time, even with his many years of experience he still felt a rush of excitement. He wasn't some unfeeling old monster, however most of the time he was apathetic and uncaring, having gone through 80,000 years worth of lives, meaning it was rare for him to feel this giddy. The World Dao Profound Veins had incredible potential, but Ao Rai had not yet tapped into this potential, not yet having the opportunity to absorb and refine strands of DNA from special physiques such as the Evil God's Veins, or the blood of the various True God legacies located on the planet such as those of the phoenix or Azure Dragon, however despite this the World Dao Profound Veins still gave the possessor incredible natural talent, as well as natural Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins, meaning that their cultivation would increase like lightning at lower realms.

1st Rank Elementary Profound Realm...

4th Rank Elementary Profound Realm...

7th Rank Elementary Profound Realm

Within 2 hours, Ao Rai's cultivation had increased to the 7th rank of the elementary profound realm, which was a large increase from his original negligible cultivation base. It would have been higher however Ao Rai possessed no prior knowledge of how to cultivate, having lived on Earth even in all his past lives, which allowed him to have incredible knowledge of people and how they work, as well as multiple professions, but not yet vast knowledge of cultivation, although that was slowly changing as he got more used to the feeling of absorbing natural energy in the air and feeling his power rise.

As Ao Rai stood up to take a break, a large, 2 meter tall, giant of a man walked out of the Xia Manor, however this man actually possessed a youthful appearance... Xia Yunba!
