After obtaining the dragon pearl, Ye Qing rose into the air. Under the envious gazes of countless people, he returned to the outer sect's palace and walked into the cultivation room.
Absorbing the dragon pearl was different from swallowing medicinal pills. It required a longer period of time.
Ye Qing's figure moved and walked into the cultivation room. Taking out the dragon pearl, he exerted force with both palms and crushed it.
In an instant, within the dragon pearl, a massive amount of energy transmitted in and entered Ye Qing's body.
Buzz!
The mysterious energy within the dragon pearl was condensed from essence energy.
Ye Qing absorbed the energy within the dragon pearl. Within his dantian, the embryonic form of the ninth Yuan Dan already condensed.
Nine Yuan Dan signified the ninth level of Yuan Dan Realm!
Within the dragon pearl, there was still more energy. For a while, it was still difficult for Ye Qing to absorb it cleanly.
However, the energy within the dragon pearl was very different from medicinal pills.
Apart from essence energy, within the dragon pearl, there was also a powerful dragon race bloodline power.
Therefore, if one was not a member of the dragon race, if they rashly absorbed the energy within the dragon pearl, it was very likely that they would explode and die.
Ye Qing's dragon race bloodline was extremely powerful. Absorbing the dragon pearl was naturally no problem.
Inside the cultivation room, a short two hours passed. Ye Qing successfully broke through to the ninth level of Yuan Dan Realm and condensed nine Yuan Dan in his dantian!
Furthermore, the ninth Yuan Dan that he condensed was extremely proficient and already reached the peak!
The peak of the ninth level of Yuan Dan, just a step away from reaching the Divine Palace Realm.
Ye Qing's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was secretly delighted in his heart. With his current peak ninth level of Yuan Dan Realm cultivation, killing a third level Divine Palace Realm powerhouse was basically no problem.
One day, if Ye Qing broke through to the Divine Palace Realm, his combat power would definitely be even more robust.
Inside the cultivation room, Ye Qing continued closed-seclusion to cultivate, further stabilizing his cultivation.
Cai Xiaofang stayed in the room beside Ye Qing's. Her cultivation also advanced steadily, reaching the ninth level of Divine Treasure Realm.
Ever since Ye Qing helped Cai Xiaofang improve her Martial Dao talent, her cultivation aspect became much smoother. She basically had no cultivation bottlenecks, advancing rapidly.
Ye Qing was very satisfied with Cai Xiaofang's situation.
As time passed, the Dragon Clan's Martial Arts Competition was already on the agenda.
Ye Qing thought about it. He would definitely participate in the Dragon Clan Martial Meeting, but Cai Xiaofang's strength was still relatively weak. If Ye Qing left, he wouldn't feel at ease leaving Cai Xiaofang alone in the practice room.
With a flash, Ye Qing arrived at Cai Xiaofang's cultivation room with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Fang, come with me to the martial arts arena and watch the competition."
"Sure, I was just worried that I would be bored in the cultivation room."
Cai Xiaofang smiled gently. She was alone in the cultivation room. Other than cultivating seriously, she had nothing else to do.
Although her cultivation was very smooth, and Ye Qing had given her a lot of cultivation resources, it was still very difficult for her to cultivate.
However, after cultivating in seclusion for such a long time, she still felt a little bored and wanted to go out and take a look.
"Okay, let's go to the Dragon Clan's martial arts arena together."
Ye Qing's face rippled with a bright smile. He took the initiative to take Cai Xiaofang's small hand. With a flash, they rushed out of the main hall and headed for the Dragon Clan's martial arts arena.
The Dragon Clan's Martial Arts Competition this time was a competition between the outer and inner disciples of the Dragon Clan.
Among the disciples of the Dragon Clan, they were divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.
Among them, the true disciples could live in the Sacred Palace and enjoy the highest treatment of the Dragon Clan.
In a flash, Ye Qing seemed to have turned into a gust of wind.
Two minutes later, Ye Qing arrived at the Dragon Clan's martial arts arena.
The Dragon Clan's martial arts arena was extremely luxurious and spectacular. There were already hundreds of geniuses gathered in the arena.
In the sky, there were constantly experts flying in and landing in the arena.
Among them, there were many powerful existences in the Divine Palace realm.
In the Divine Palace, the first level of the Divine Palace realm was nothing at all.
In the Dragon Clan's Martial Arts Competition, even those at the third level of the Divine Palace realm could not achieve outstanding results.
In the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 geniuses had gathered in the Dragon Clan's martial arts arena. More than 80% of them had reached the Divine Palace realm.
Of course, most of the disciples' cultivation was only at the first level of the Divine Palace realm.
Ye Qing stood in the crowd and was inconspicuous. However, there were many gazes directed at him from all around.
In the past, in the preliminaries, Ye Qing defeated Ao Jing, the genius, and shocked all the outer disciples.
Therefore, Ye Qing's reputation was extremely resounding in the Dragon Clan's outer sect.
In the outer sect, almost all the disciples' eyes were focused on Ye Qing.
However, among the inner disciples of the Dragon Clan, there were not many who knew Ye Qing.
In the crowd, two viper-like eyes looked over. It was Ao Jing.
After a few days of recuperation, Ao Jing's injuries had recovered. However, his eyes were still very cold, as if he wanted to kill Ye Qing with his gaze alone.
"Ye Qing, you will die in my hands sooner or later!"
Ao Jing sneered and released a cold murderous intent.
He knew that Ye Qing was very strong. However, after being defeated by Ye Qing, he felt deeply ashamed and further increased his strength. The power of the Black Dragon Sky-ripping Claw that he had mastered had increased by a lot!
Moreover, in this year's Dragon Clan Martial Arts Competition, there were many geniuses. Ao Jing did not believe that Ye Qing could defeat those outstanding inner disciples.
Feeling the cold gaze behind him, Ye Qing smiled faintly and did not care at all. He did not care about the so-called genius of the outer sect, Ao Jing.
"Xiaofang, you watch the battle from the spectator stand. When I'm done, I'll take you out to play."
Ye Qing's lips curled into a bright smile.
Cai Xiaofang nodded her head obediently and went to the spectator stand.
Around the martial arts competition field, a large spectator stand was built. It was large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 spectators. It could be said to be very luxurious.
In reality, the Dragon Clan's martial arts competition field was in another small world. It did not occupy the area of the Giant Dragon's Nest at all.
Whoosh!
In the distant sky, a gray figure flew over. It was the outer sect elder of the Dragon Clan, Ao Jun.
When Ao Jun saw Ye Qing, he immediately landed beside Ye Qing with a face full of joy.
"Little Ye Qing, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Realm. You're simply a monster!"
Ao Jun was shocked. One had to know that it usually took a very long time to advance from the eighth level of the Origin Core Realm to the ninth level of the Origin Core Realm.
Ye Qing's cultivation level increased in a short period of time. It was undoubtedly due to the Dragon Pearl.
Except, the energy contained in the Dragon Pearl was a lot. Ao Jing even thought that Ye Qing still needed less than half a month's time before he could completely absorb it.
He did not expect that just a short few days passed and Ye Qing already absorbed the energy in the Dragon Pearl and reached the ninth level of the Origin Core Realm.
Ao Jun patted Ye Qing's shoulder with an expectant look on his face and continued, "Little Ye Qing, with your strength, becoming an inner-sect disciple is definitely not an issue. Fight for it a little. Maybe you have hopes of becoming a legacy disciple. Work hard."
Ao Jun thought highly of Ye Qing's talent.
Around Ao Jun, there were still some inner-sect elders. When they heard Ao Jun's remarks, they could not help scoffing.
One had to know, for a mere outer-sect disciple to want to directly advance to become a legacy disciple, the difficulty was too great.
In the history of the Dragon Clan, those who could directly jump ranks to become a legacy disciple could be counted on one's fingers.
In recent years, there was only one Huangfu Lan who appeared. Furthermore, in the legends, Huangfu Lan's bloodline power was extremely horrifying. It had a trace of ancient aura!
