Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Xuan Jiuding, if you want to secure your position as the Crown Prince, you’ll have to double your efforts. From today onwards, your competitors will be incredibly powerful!”

After these thoughts passed through his mind, Yun Xiao no longer hesitated. Initially, he only intended to repair Xuan Jing’s meridians, damaged by the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, and be done with it, but now he had another idea.

”Your Majesty, please act as my protector!”

Yun Xiao turned his head and spoke, and in an instant, Xuan Haoran realized that after the night attack by Ran Xing, there might be further unexpected incidents. With him here, probably no one in the Xuanyue Empire could disturb Yun Xiao.

”Your injuries are not serious, right?”

Xuan Haoran nodded but still asked. During the day, he had personally seen Yun Xiao empty of Qi Soul and bleeding from his mouth. Could it be that he has recovered overnight?

”Hehe, when I said it would take three days, that was just to be cautious. Now, well...”

Yun Xiao didn’t finish his sentence, but Xuan Haoran already understood his meaning. He also believed that since Yun Xiao dared to take action, he must be quite confident. He, too, wished for Xuan Jing to recover sooner.

Immediately, Consort Su also walked away to sit in a distant spot, while Xuan Haoran stood still, not far from the bed. His eyes, slightly open and closed, occasionally scanned the doors and windows, clearly on guard against unwelcome guests.

Having put his mind at ease, Yun Xiao was indeed, as he said, confident in repairing the meridians damaged by the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm. In fact, such a technique was probably unknown to anyone on the Hidden Dragon Continent. Even Ran Xing could at most save Xuan Jing’s life and nothing more.

Unfortunately, in Xuan Jiuding and Ran Xing’s calculations, they had never anticipated the variable that was Yun Xiao—an Old Monster from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, whose meridian refining techniques were at least a hundred times better than those of Ran Xing, who was merely at the Earth Rank Low Level.

If not for Yun Xiao’s own limitations in Meridian Qi and Meridian Refining Level, he probably would have repaired Xuan Jing’s meridians immediately after drawing out the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm with his Xuan sound.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao did not use any of the methods he knew from his past life, for what could be more effective in repairing meridians than the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique?

When Yun Xiao was reborn, his entire meridians were destroyed, and it was precisely the miraculous Ancient Dragon Taming Technique that not only brought him back to life but also granted him a more formidable cultivation talent than others.

Although Yun Xiao had never tried using the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique to repair someone else’s meridians, he was very eager to try it now. At worst, if it didn’t work, he would switch to another method. After all, his mind was full of countless memories.

Seeing Yun Xiao place his hand on Xuan Jing’s right wrist and pulse, his thoughts moved, and the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique was rapidly activated. All of a sudden, the Heaven and Earth Energy within the room seemed to be drawn by something, rushing towards Yun Xiao.

Whoosh whoosh...

The sound of invisible wind swept by. Consort Su, who was not far away and relatively weak, did not notice anything, but King Xuan Haoran of the Xuanyue Country’s face was full of shock.

”Such momentum, could he be cultivating an Earth Rank cultivation technique?”

Xuan Jiuding sensed the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Energy in the air, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves, as there were some things he couldn’t figure out. How could a cultivator at the early stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm possibly be cultivating an Earth Rank cultivation technique?

As mentioned before, cultivation techniques are usually only practicable at certain Great Ranks corresponding to one’s Cultivation Realm. For example, if you are in the Meridian Rushing Realm, the most suitable techniques would naturally be of the Spiritual Rank Low Level.

Of course, on the Continent, there are also some astonishingly talented individuals who can cultivate higher-rank techniques at lower ranks, which greatly enhances their combat power.

But this also has limits. For instance, the current Crown Prince of the Xuanyue Empire, with his Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm cultivation, has only memorized the Earth Rank Low Level technique Xuantian Treasure Mirror by heart. He has not truly cultivated it but merely wishes to comprehend some of the technique’s concepts.

Cultivating a technique that is too advanced can lead to cultivators being unable to control it, and they might even suffer from meridian rupture or go berserk. These are the iron rules that Xuan Haoran’s predecessors had told him at the beginning of his cultivation.

Even Xuan Haoran himself only began cultivating the Xuantian Treasure Mirror after breaking through to the Spirit Vein Realm. His Xuan family’s noble bloodline allowed them to control the backlash of cultivation techniques more effectively, and at most, they could cultivate techniques that were one Great Rank higher.

However, this person named Bo Ku, with his Late Stage of Meridian Rushing Realm cultivation, was actually cultivating a technique that was suspected to be of Earth Rank, which completely overturned Xuan Haoran’s long-held views on cultivation.

Yun Xiao, however, didn’t have so many thoughts. He didn’t even know what grade the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique was. All he knew was that the technique’s ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy would increase as his strength improved.

In fact, the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique had many more amazing uses, which Yun Xiao hadn’t fully grasped yet, such as absorbing the miraculous Golden Snake Worm into his body.

Huu... Huu...

After the Heaven and Earth Energy infused into Yun Xiao’s body, under the operation of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, it was quickly transformed into streams of pure energy, which he channeled into Xuan Jing’s body through the five fingers of his right hand.

”Indeed effective!”

When Yun Xiao sensed that the Meridian Qi power transformed by the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique was indeed healing Xuan Jing’s meridians, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed to the point of madness, secretly remarking that he had indeed gambled correctly this time.

Although Yun Xiao had some other special methods from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Inheritance, due to the limits imposed by his Meridian Refining Level, deploying those methods would likely have a severe impact on his body.

Unlike now, just by operating the cultivation technique, Xuan Jing’s meridians were being repaired inch by inch. Returning to his peak condition was just a matter of time, which also greatly relieved Yun Xiao, minimizing the risks involved.

Time quickly passed, another day and night. When the shadow of the sun slanted westward the next day, Xuan Jing, who had been in a coma for several months on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, causing the nearby Su Fei to react with both shock and joy, as she abruptly stood up from her chair.

”Jing’er, you’ve finally awakened!”

The murmured voice came from Su Fei, who inwardly made a decision: if this time Xuan Jing could be safe and sound, she would definitely not provoke Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding again. In the heart of every mother, the safety and well-being of her son is the most important thing.

What Su Fei didn’t know was, as long as Xuan Jing existed, even if he didn’t provoke Xuan Jiuding, the latter would still see him as a thorn in his side, a threat to be eliminated. If one plan didn’t work, he would likely seek another, until the threat was completely eradicated.

On the other hand, King Xuan Haoran, despite not having rested over the course of a day and a night, was in better spirits than ever, because he could sense that Xuan Jing had truly recovered to his previous peak condition.

At this moment, Xuan Jing’s aura was majestic, and although his complexion was still somewhat pale, the Meridian Qi was radiating out from him. The Early Stage Meridian Union Realm cultivation level also signified the full recovery of his injuries, and once more, he returned to being that spirited and unrestrained Second Prince.

”Prince Xuan Jing, calm your mind, focus your spirit!”

Just as Xuan Jing sat up on the bed, about to greet his imperial father and mother, a low shout came from behind him, causing his heart to shiver.

”Eh? This voice sounds somewhat familiar.”

Unlike Xuan Haoran and Su Fei, who had never seen Yun Xiao, Xuan Jing had fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Yun Xiao and had traveled thousands of miles from the Northwest of the Empire back to Jade Pot Sect, so he would never forget the other’s voice and aura.

However, this thought just flashed through Xuan Jing’s mind, and the next moment, he had no time to think of anything else. A strong force suddenly touched the top of his forehead, and right after, he fell into a hazy state.

Without knowing when, Yun Xiao had leaped onto the bed. After Xuan Jing sat up cross-legged, Yun Xiao’s low shout was emitted, followed by his finger pressing on the Baihui Acupoint on the top of the Second Prince’s head.

”What is he doing?”

Seeing this scene, the nearby Xuan Haoran’s brow furrowed slightly, for he could clearly sense that Xuan Jing had already recovered to peak Meridian Qi. Logically, the process should have concluded.

Although Xuan Haoran was not a Meridian Refining Master, he was very knowledgeable about some of the major acupoints of the human body. The Baihui was the most important acupoint on top of the head, and normally, even a touch could cause dizziness, let alone a pointed press.

However, due to Yun Xiao’s extremely astounding performance these past few days, Xuan Haoran believed that it could not possibly be that Yun Xiao had just revived Xuan Jing only to harm him again. It clearly did not make sense.

As Xuan Haoran hesitated slightly, Yun Xiao’s right hand’s index and middle fingers, flowed like clouds and water, beginning from the Baihui Acupoint on Xuan Jing’s head, and successively pressing more than a dozen major acupoints on his back.

”Dazhui, Zhongshu, Life Gate, Huiyin, ...”

Xuan Haoran recognized some of the acupoints and murmured them out loud. Then, from Xuan Jing’s back, black light suddenly emerged. This black light seemed like a thin line, connecting the acupoints from the top of Xuan Jing’s head to between his legs, all strung together.

”This... This is the Du Meridian acupoints!”

The King of Xuanyue Country’s face was filled with shock because he himself had cultivated from the Meridian Union Realm, knowing that at this realm, the process involved opening the governor and conception vessels. If one could fully open these vessels, they could successfully break through to the Spirit Vein Realm.

And now, Yun Xiao’s actions aroused some peculiar thoughts in Xuan Haoran’s heart, thoughts that, once they arose, could no longer be dismissed. He now had an intense expectation.

Unbeknownst to Xuan Haoran’s thoughts, Yun Xiao was at this moment fully occupied. He had moved from behind Xuan Jing to in front of him, and from the Huiyin acupoint between the latter’s thighs, he once again began a series of pointed directions.
