Chapter 37: Birth of a Genius

Dao Wei stood before the Nine Heavens Cauldron. The artifact's ethereal glow bathed the chamber in a soft, celestial light.

The Nine Heavens Cauldron is a legendary artifact in the ancient world. Revered by all across the realms, it is said to be crafted by the ancient gods, embodying the essence of the nine heavens. The cauldron is a large, intricately designed vessel made from celestial jade and adorned with mystical runes and symbols.

It emanates an ethereal glow, its surface depicting scenes of the cosmos, mythical beasts, and divine landscapes.

The cauldron was more magnificent than he had ever imagined. Made from celestial jade, it stood majestically on three dragon-shaped legs, each dragon seemingly alive with intricate detail. The nine concentric rings of runes on its surface pulsed with different colors, representing the nine heavens. Dao Wei could feel the powerful, calming energy radiating from it, an aura that spoke of ancient wisdom and divine craftsmanship.

The cauldron was approximately six feet tall with a diameter of about four feet wide. It was engraved with nine concentric rings, each representing one of the nine heavens. These rings are covered in runes that pulse with different colors, depending on the heaven they represent. The base is supported by three dragon-shaped legs, each one sculpted with meticulous detail. It radiated a powerful, calming energy that feels both ancient and sacred.

Dao Wei slowly walked toward the cauldron and just as he was about to touch the cauldron, a large amount of information once again flashed in his mind.

Through the information, Dao Wei found out that on the first floor of the Tower, time flowed slowly compared to outside. Here, A year is equal to a day outside. In other words here time flows in a 33:1 ratio compared to outside.

After learning this he was overjoyed. With the help of this tower, he can cultivate many times faster than the outside world. And spirit energy here is much denser than outside.

Through the information he gains from here, Dao Wei finds out that in the cauldron present in the middle of the floor, there are five types of memory stored and he can use these memories as his own.

He hurriedly opened the lid of the cauldron and saw three types of bright light inside three different barriers.

From the information he gained, he knew that red colored bright light surrounded by a barrier has the memory of alchemy by an Ancient Pill God, a blue colored bright light surrounded by a barrier has the memories of Formations by an Ancient Formation God, and lastly, a purple colored bright light surrounded by a barrier has the memories about the weapon refining of an Ancient God of weapon refinement. The other two he couldn't tell who they belonged to, but one had a pure divine light and the other was completely pure darkness.

And other than memories of Ancient Gods there was one more thing present there and that was a small ball of light floating in the space of the dragon cauldron.

Dao Wei did not get any information about that small ball of light floating in the space of the cauldron. So, he was a little confused about this small ball of light. After thinking for a bit, he carefully extended his hand toward the small ball of light.

The moment his fingers touched the ball of light, Dao Wei felt as if his head was going to split open as a huge amount of information rushed into his mind.

"Ah!"

Even with Dao Wei's willpower, he could not help but hold onto his head with both of his hands. The pain lasted for quite a long time, and then something extra appeared in his mind.

After reading carefully, Dao Wei realizes that the thing that appeared in his mind was a cultivation method, called the Nine Heavens Creation Technique.

This world also known as the Mortal World was a world of cultivation where everyone practiced martial arts and relied on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to make themselves stronger.

The way to absorb the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use was called the cultivation method. A technique that uses the spirit energy in one's body as the power to unleash a powerful attack is called martial arts technique or combat skills.

No matter if it was the cultivation technique or the battle skills, they were all separated into four levels: Yellow, Orange, Purple/Earth, and Heaven, being Yellow ranked as the lowest and Heaven ranked as the highest. Each level was further divided into three levels: low, medium, and high rank.

When all cultivation methods on the continent reach a certain level of cultivation, and the spiritual energy in the body is fully accumulated, they can circulate and break through the shackles of the spirit energy, and then they can level up.

Dao Wei did not know what level the Nine Heavens Creation Technique could be considered to be, nor was anything written on it. All it mentioned was the method and how it could be used.

There was a total of nine layers in the Nine Heavens Creation Technique. When one cultivates the first layer of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique one can form a true dragon in his sea of consciousness and even can use the dragon's abilities as its own. When one cultivates the first layer of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique to completion, one can breakthrough and form the true phoenix in his sea of consciousness and then will be able to cultivate the second layer of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique.

Cultivating the Nine Heavens Creation Technique, what kind of a dragon that can be formed depends on one's luck. It can be a powerful one, and it can also be a trash dragon.

The Nine Heavens Creation Technique did not have any bottlenecks in cultivation, which also meant that no matter what caused his cultivation to stagnate, everything was fine with this cultivation method.

After reading about this cultivation method, Dao Wei was immediately ecstatic. He never knew that the Primordial Chaos Scripture could advance and become the Heaven-Defying Scripture. It had merged with the silver tome the mysterious old man gave him, and now it absorbed the Nine Heavens Creation Technique, enhancing it to the extreme.

He even thought that the Nine Heavens Creation Technique is a rumored legendary Supreme or Emperor level technique that is one or two levels higher than the heaven level techniques respectively.

Taking a deep breath, Dao Wei tried to suppress his excitement. After he almost dies, he finally understands the importance of strength.

When his thoughts had completely calmed down, Dao Wei sat cross-legged on the first floor of the SkyTower. His hands slowly formed seals according to the instructions of the Nine Heavens Creation Technique.

After his body was rebuilt, he was only at the First Stage Golden Core Realm.

Following the formation of that seal, the spirit energy of the surrounding area started to fluctuate. His body was like a magnet as it absorbed the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth.

When the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth entered his body, it followed his meridians and flowed to his dantian like a river that had been swallowed by the ocean.

Inside his dantian, there was already a cloud of Spirit Energy. Following the Heavens Creation Technique, the cloud gradually grew bigger and bigger. Just like a jar, when there was too much Spirit Energy inside, the jar cracked and shattered.

Following the shattering of the cloud of energy, the Spirit Energy in his dantian started to surge out, flowing backward quickly along Dao's meridians. As the spirit energy in his dantian poured back into his body, Dao Wei's meridians actually started to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. As his meridians expanded, Dao Wei's body continuously got strengthened.

After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, all the Spirit Energy returned to his dantian, and this cloud of Spirit Energy was several times larger than before.

Dao Wei slowly opened his eyes and looked at his dantian in disbelief. He felt the surging power in his body, and his eyes filled with excitement.

"Peak Stage of Golden Core Realm"

He directly jumped to the Peak Stage From the First Stage of the Golden Core Realm.

"Phew!"

"Boom!"

With a punch, an explosion rang out throughout the entire first floor of the Tower.

"It is simply unimaginable that someone who had just broken through to the Peak Stage of the Golden Core Realm would possess such great power. It is not difficult for me to contend against those at late Nascent Realm.

After calming down, Dao Wei began to circulate the Nine Heavens Creation Technique. This time he wanted to form a true dragon in his sea of consciousness, because only after forming the true dragon can he become even stronger and would have a few life-saving abilities and also can cultivate even faster.
