Dragon's Nest, Dragon Rearing Program

Xiao Yun couldn't help but continue to inquire after hearing Emperor Tian's words. He asked, "Master, how can I continue to enhance my strength?"

Emperor Tian explained, "By cultivating three super combat techniques, you can increase your strength by 300,000 jin. Then, by deducing these three super combat techniques to the ultimate level, you can once again gain an additional 300,000 jin of strength."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun silently calculated in his heart and then looked up at Emperor Tian, saying, "Master, even so, I can only have 700,000 jin of strength. How can I increase the remaining 300,000 jin?"

Emperor Tian fell silent for a moment and then sighed, "That is already the limit that an ordinary physique can reach. Even the Primordial Emperor could only achieve such a level in this realm. The additional 300,000 jin of strength he possessed was due to his Primordial Body."

Xiao Yun was taken aback and said, "So does that mean I have no way to reach 1,000,000 jin of strength in the Body Refining Realm?"

He didn't have any special physique!

He was just an ordinary individual!

Emperor Tian smiled slightly and said, "If you can achieve 700,000 jin of strength, that would already be sufficient. There's no need to obsess over reaching 1,000,000 jin of strength."

In fact, looking at the entire cultivation world, even those with special physiques rarely exceed 500,000 jin of strength in the Body Refining Realm, and those with 700,000 jin of strength are even rarer.

Emperor Tian was right. Not everyone could have constant epiphanies like Xiao Yun. Even those super geniuses who could cultivate super combat techniques would take several years or even more than a decade to master one.

Therefore, most of them would only cultivate one super combat technique and, coupled with their special physiques, even those rumored to rival the Primordial Body or the Hegemonic Body could only reach around 500,000 to 600,000 jin of strength in the Body Refining Realm.

However, Xiao Yun was not satisfied with just 700,000 jin of strength. He looked up at Emperor Tian with a determined gaze and asked, "Master, are there no other ways for me to continue increasing my strength?"

Emperor Tian fell silent for a while. He knew that his disciple had extraordinary talent and was surely pursuing the utmost limits of power. It would be difficult to convince him to give up at this point.

Thinking about it, Emperor Tian pondered for a moment before looking at Xiao Yun and slowly said, "There is a way. The main difference between an ordinary physique and a special physique is the innate foundation. As long as the innate foundation is supplemented, it can allow an ordinary physique to catch up with a special physique."

"How can the innate foundation be supplemented?" Xiao Yun couldn't help but ask eagerly.

Emperor Tian sighed, "It's not easy. To supplement the innate foundation, one must consume extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If you were still a Divine Child, our Chaos Holy Land would spare no expense to obtain these heavenly materials and earthly treasures for you. But now, you are no longer a Divine Child."

Saying this, Emperor Tian looked somewhat ashamed and said, "In the end, it's because of my own insufficient strength. If I had the power of a Saint, I could go to dangerous places to obtain these heavenly materials and earthly treasures for you."

"Master, please don't say that. You have already shown great kindness to your disciple by imparting the path of cultivation. It is as monumental as a mountain." Xiao Yun hurriedly replied.

However, Emperor Tian still felt somewhat guilty.

At that moment, Uncle Fu, who was beside them, suddenly remembered something and said to Emperor Tian, "Master, isn't the True Dragon's Nest going to open in a year? Maybe we can let the young master give it a try!"

Emperor Tian's eyes brightened when he heard this. "Yes, I almost forgot about the True Dragon's Nest. Previously, our Chaotic Holy Land didn't send anyone to the True Dragon's Nest because there were very few individuals in our land who could enter the forbidden domain of the Physical Refinement Realm. Entering the True Dragon's Nest would be nothing but seeking death. But you, my disciple, are different."

Emperor Tian looked at Xiao Yun with excitement and continued, "If you can possess a strength of 700,000 jin within a year, even inside the True Dragon's Nest, you will be an outstanding powerhouse. By then, you will be able to obtain those rare treasures of heaven and earth with your own strength."

Xiao Yun looked puzzled and asked, "Master, what is the True Dragon's Nest?"

Emperor Tian smiled and said, "The True Dragon's Nest is a secret realm that opens every hundred years, and only cultivators in the Physical Refinement Realm can enter it.

But precisely because of this, the treasures of heaven and earth within the True Dragon's Nest have not been completely plundered by the vast number of cultivators.

So, if you can enter the True Dragon's Nest, you will have the opportunity to obtain the treasures of heaven and earth that can help you make up for your innate foundation."

While speaking, Emperor Tian took out a book and handed it to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun looked at the cover, which had the words "True Dragon's Nest Secrets" written on it, and curiously opened it to read.

Soon, Xiao Yun realized the origins of the True Dragon's Nest from the book.

Legend has it that a true dragon once lived in the True Dragon's Nest. It ascended to the heavens before sealing the nest, allowing only cultivators in the Physical Refinement Realm to enter.

Throughout countless ages, many cultivators have tried to uncover the secrets of the True Dragon's Nest, but powerful cultivators couldn't enter due to the seal left by the true dragon.

As for those cultivators in the Physical Refinement Realm, their strength was too low to excavate much about the secrets of the True Dragon's Nest.

However, one secret was uncovered.

That secret was the "Dragon Rearing Plan"!

This "Dragon Rearing Plan" was most likely arranged by the true dragon before its ascension. It left behind many seedlings in the True Dragon's Nest, and every hundred years, ten seedlings would be reborn.

Although these seedlings were individually powerful, they still needed to evolve into true dragon bodies, which required tempering.

How to temper them?

Through battle, of course!

Only through being reborn in bloodshed, honing oneself in slaughter, surpassing limits, and elevating the essence of life, could they forge true dragon bodies.

However, there were no dangers inside the True Dragon's Nest that could allow these seedlings to battle. If they were released, without the care of the true dragon, they would still be weak and would likely be captured by skilled cultivators, forming a master-servant contract and becoming slaves to cultivators.

Therefore, the true dragon arranged the seal on the True Dragon's Nest, only allowing cultivators in the Physical Refinement Realm to enter.

As a result, these entering cultivators would be on par with the seedlings.

Their battles would rely solely on talent.

The true dragon wanted to use these geniuses from the cultivation world to temper its seedlings, and this was the "Dragon Rearing Plan."

The cultivation world also fully supported this plan. Every hundred years when the True Dragon's Nest opened, major sects would send their own geniuses to battle the seedlings.

There were many benefits to doing so.

The True Dragon's Nest contained numerous treasures of heaven and earth that could help these geniuses evolve and could be taken out and shared with the sects.

Engaging in combat with the true dragon's seedlings and bathing in their blood would allow these geniuses to evolve and surpass their own limits. The true dragon wanted to use the cultivation world's geniuses to temper its seedlings, while the major sects also wanted to use these seedlings to hone their own geniuses.

Each seedling had immense potential, no less than those super geniuses with special physiques. If they could capture a seedling, establish a master-servant contract, they would gain a super powerful assistant in the future.

...

Because of the numerous benefits, each opening of the True Dragon's Nest became a grand event in the cultivation world.

And now, there was exactly one year left until the next opening of the True Dragon's Nest.
