Tong Nian was so fast that he could only see a blur flickering in front of his eyes and the next moment, Tong Nian was on the deck of the Flying Ship.

"So she really is much stronger than me and because of this, I was unable to see through her cultivation. But right now, even if there is a Ninth Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist in front of me, I can see through their strength with just one look. Then this means... Big sis Tong Nian is at least a Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist."

As Ye Xiao thought this, his mouth once again opened wide. He could not believe what he just thought in his mind. But there was no other possible explanation that can explain why he could not see through Tong Nian's cultivation.

"If big sis Tong Nian is already a Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist then what about her grandfather?" When Ye Xiao once again thought about it, he could not help but take a look at Tong Nian who was also looking at him from the deck of the Flying Ship.

He once again felt suspicious about his master's background. Tong Nian's grandfather was his master's friend then his master should have at least the same strength as her grandfather. But again, Ye Xiao clearly remembered that his master was only at the Martial Emperor Realm. He was easily able to see through his master's cultivation.

When he thought about it, he suddenly remembers that when he was giving his master a stalk of newly evolved Jade Lotus, his master said him at that time that the Jade Lotus will help him much.

"Is my master injured and because of his injuries, his cultivation also dropped down by a large margin?" Ye Xiao thought in his heart and when he thought about the mystery that was revolving around his master, he felt that this might be the real case.

"Hey, why are you not coming up?" While he was still deep in his thought, he suddenly heard Tong Nian's voice and forced to come back to himself.

He again rubbed his head and laughed then said, "I'm coming!"

With this, he also flew up in the air toward the Flying Ship. But this time, he flew in the air without the Wings of the Divine Dragon.

He was now a Martial King Realm martial artist and can fly in the sky without the help of wings.

When he flew toward the Flying Ship, he felt that he was not as fast as he could be with the Wings of the Divine Dragon.

After about ten breaths of time, he also descended on the deck of the Flying Ship, in front of Tong Nian.

Tong Nian led him to a room and said with a smile, "You can rest here. With this flying ship, it will only take us around fifteen or sixteen days to reach the Grand Xia Empire. Even though you are already five days late, with this ship, you can reach the Grand Xia Empire even before your master and the candidates with him!"

"Ok!" Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "Big sis Nian, I will be cultivating during our journey so when our destination will arrive, please wake me up!"

Ye Xiao wanted to find out more about those two types of destructive power that he felt within him when he tried to feel the existence of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon while circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

Previously, he didn't feel the flow of time and because of this, he thought that it will be good to inform Tong Nian first so that when they will arrive at the Grand Xia Empire, she can wake him up.

"Seriously? Are you a cultivation freak or what?" Tong Nian looked at Ye Xiao and said in a frustrated tone. She wanted Ye Xiao to enjoy the scenery together with her on the Flying Ship but now, Ye Xiao told her to wake him up after arriving at the Grand Xia Empire because he was again going to cultivate.

Ye Xiao did not answer Tong Nian. He just continued to look at her.

Seeing him like this, Tong Nian sighed and said, "Huh! Ok, go and cultivate. I will wake you up after arriving at the Grand Xia Empire!"

"Thank you big sis Nian!" Ye Xiao thanked her and immediately went into his room and closed the door.

Tong Nian shook her head when she saw Ye Xiao's excited face, and left.

Ye Xiao immediately entered the World of the Heavenly Pearl as he did not want to attract the attention of the pair of grandfather and granddaughter. Although he did not see Tong Nian's grandfather at the moment, he knew that her grandfather was on the flying ship.

Ye Xiao directly went to the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. Soon, he once again felt the existence of those two extremely destructive energy within his body.

"This time, I will definitely find you!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and started to work on it more diligently.

After who knows how much time has passed, Ye Xiao finally discovered one of the two destructive energy within him.

"Isn't this..." Ye Xiao was speechless when he saw that destructive energy because the destructive energy that he discovered was none other than the heavenly lightning that he devoured when he was going through the Heavenly Tribulation.

At that time, he devoured the third bolt of the lightning strike which was also the final attack of his heavenly tribulation at that time.

He once again was surprised by the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

"Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon: Devour the Heaven and Earth and use them for its own!"

"So that's what it meant when it says 'use them for its own'!"

When Ye Xiao created the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon for the first time in his sea of consciousness, he gained the information about it in his mind. At that time, he did not understand what 'use them for its own' mean, and he also did not dwell in this much as he thought that this was not important.

but now that he saw the heavenly lightning inside his body which aggressive and destructive, but still, it was not doing any harm to his body. He finally understood what that sentence meant.

"Then, I will refine you and make you mine first!" Ye Xiao muttered as he started to refine the Heavenly Lightning within his body.

"Ahhh!"

The moment Ye Xiao started refining, the heavenly lightning that was still silent in his body started to rack havoc. He groaned in pain as he felt lightning burning his body bit by bit.

What was terrifying was that this was happening inside his body. The lightning was very strong, but it was not as powerful as it was before while it was still a part of the Heavenly Tribulation. Although this was the case, its power was still very destructive and Ye Xiao felt that his internal organs were going to be destroyed at any time.

He began to circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Technique with all his might and finally felt the pain lessen. But still, it was very terrifying.

Even though the pain that Ye Xiao was currently feeling was less than what he felt when he was merging with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and the energy dragon but still, it was not something that he could easily handle.

Moments turned into minutes and minute turned into hours as time continues to pass. Ye Xiao continues to endure the pain as he refined the Heavenly Thunder.

The more pain and burnt he felt, the more crazily he refined the Heavenly Thunder. He had already decided to completely refine the Heavenly Thunder and make it his own.

After who knows how much time passed, Ye Xiao finally completely refined the Heavenly Thunder.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's entire body was powerless as he let out a helpless sigh. After refining the Heavenly Thunder, although he gained a powerful trump card for himself, he also suffered a very heavy injury as almost all of his internal organs were burnt because of the lightning wreaking havoc within his body.

Ye Xiao arrived at the Grassland, plucked out two Jade Lotuses, and swallowed them. Immediately, he felt a cold and sweet feeling going down from his neck to his abdomen. His pain relieved a little as he felt slightly comfortable.

He once again plucked out two more Jade Lotuses and swallowed them. Only after he swallowed another two Jade Lotuses did his pain completely vanished and he felt that his internal organs also healed more than 75%.

"Only two more Jade Lotuses and I can heal completely!" Ye Xiao thought in his heart.
