Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two months quietly passed by.

Inside the Ye family's house, in a quiet little yard, Ye Hao was sitting cross-legged on a blue rock with his eyes closed.

As he breathed in and out, the air started to echo. The spiritual energy in the air seemed to be attracted by some unknown force. It formed a small whirlpool around Ye Hao and entered the teenager's body in an orderly manner.

This continued for a long time before the silent Ye Hao suddenly took a deep breath. His ten fingers were in a daze as they flew about. His hands suddenly formed an extremely complicated and strange hand seal.

"Dragon Elephant Seal!"

The instant the two hand seals were formed, Ye Hao suddenly opened his eyes. With a low shout, three phantoms appeared behind him, two of them were like a dragon, majestic and agile, emitting a vivid and lifelike aura and a strong pressure. The atmosphere in the yard suddenly darkened, and an invisible air current howled and pressured, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere.

When the shadow appeared, Ye Hao's calm face could not help but reveal a hint of joy. He changed his hand seals and the dragon elephant shadow suddenly disappeared. The air in the yard also calmed down with it.

For the past two months, Ye Hao didn't leave the small courtyard, nor did he leave the small courtyard.

Finally, after consuming two Scarlet Blood Fruits, he stepped into the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage a few days ago.

Along with the breakthrough of his realm, Ye Hao continued to practice his sacred art day and night. It was also because of his crazy training that he was able to reach the third seal within these two months.

The Dragon Elephant Seal was divided into nine dragons and nine elephants. Each time a seal was formed, its power could be said to increase exponentially. Currently, after ten days of continuous study, Ye Hao was finally able to condense a third seal with the foundation of one dragon and one elephant.

"This Dragon Elephant Seal is truly worthy of being a spirit rank sacred art. Although it is incomplete, to have such power after just three seals, it is truly frightening." Letting out a light breath, Ye Hao couldn't help but grin. He believed that if he hadn't erased his shadow at the last moment, this entire courtyard would have been razed to the ground.

However, along with his cultivation, Ye Hao also discovered that practicing the Dragon Elephant Seal had an unimaginably harsh requirement on a practitioner's physique.

One must know that the strength of his current body was comparable to a cultivator at the eighth level of the Body Tempering stage. However, after condensing three seals, he felt a faint swelling pain in his body.

Based on Ye Hao's estimation, with his current physique, he would have already reached his limit when he condensed the fourth seal. If he forcefully condensed the fifth seal, his body would probably not be able to withstand the pressure and would completely shatter.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao was also a little shocked. A body at the eighth level of the Body Tempering stage could only condense four seals. If he wanted to condense the Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants, even a Life Sea Realm cultivator would find it hard to withstand.

If a damaged spirit rank skill was already so astonishing, then how frightening would a complete spirit rank skill be?

Thinking of this, he could not help but shake his head and smile, "You are being overly ambitious."

Stretching his body lazily, Ye Hao stood up. The Spiritual Energy under his feet flashed as he took a step forward. His body was like a ghost as he instantly appeared within the house.

As for the speed of the Cloud Pursuing Steps, even though he tried many times, he was still very satisfied with it. In these two months, not only did he manage to learn three seals from the Dragon Elephant Seal, he even managed to learn the Cloud Pursuing Steps.

With his current speed, Ye Hao believed that he was no slower than that eighth layer Body Tempering assassin.

More importantly, the Cloud Pursuing Steps was specially selected by his grandfather. It could be said to be the top movement technique in the entire Ye family. Even with his current cultivation level, there wouldn't be any side effects.

Moreover, the Cloud Pursuing Steps were divided into three levels, 'Shadow', 'Accompanying Path' and 'Cloud Chasing'. Right now, he had only just entered the first level. If he mastered it, his speed would definitely increase once again.

Ye Hao was confident that the current him, if he were to confront that eighth level Body Tempering killer again, he would definitely be able to kill him.

However, although his strength had improved greatly, Ye Hao was clear that he was still far from being able to contend against Ye Tianlin.

After all, the latter had been accumulating strength at the peak of the Body Tempering stage for a long time. His hidden trump card had already far exceeded the imagination of an ordinary person.

"I still can't slack off." After casually washing his face, Ye Hao sat in his room with his legs crossed. He was frowning in thought.

During these two months, while he was cultivating his soul power, he had always wanted to try to refine the large amount of blood essence left behind in his body. However, in the end, not to mention refining a strand of blood essence, he couldn't even move it.

It seemed as if the divine and resplendent power deep within his flesh had completely died down after the day it helped him resist the spiritual pressure from the Black Abyss Ghost Mist and Ye Tianlin.

There were still four months until the recruitment period of Tianxuan Academy. He wanted to contend against Ye Tianlin for a short period of time, and this ocean-like, dormant power within his flesh and blood was his only hope.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Hao suddenly clenched his teeth. He seemed to have made up his mind. He closed his eyes and his mind.

In this period of time, he had been trying everything he could to refine the power left behind by the blood essence in his body. At the same time, he had already guessed that even though the drop of blood essence was mysterious, it was definitely related to the grey pearl in his body.

However, although he had some speculations, he was still very afraid of the space inside the grey bead. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to enter again.

As time was running out, if he wanted to compete with Ye Tianlin for a placing in Tianxuan Academy, he would have to give it a try. Perhaps because of this, he would be able to find out the origin and refining method of that drop of blood essence within the mysterious space of the grey pearl.

With this thought in mind, Ye Hao's mind slowly approached the ancient grey bead. After a series of spinning sounds, in front of his eyes was a dark and quiet mysterious space.

The second time he had entered this place, the fear in his heart had lessened a lot. However, looking at the boundless space in front of him, he was still filled with shock. The rank of this mysterious bead must have far exceeded his imagination.

The last time he was hit by that unknown golden rainbow, a strange seed like golden light appeared in his sea of consciousness. Even now, he still couldn't get close to it, so he didn't know what it was.

He really did not want to go through this experience again, in case something strange appeared in his body.

After waiting in place for a while, he realized that the space was as quiet as it used to be. Ye Hao then felt slightly more relieved. He then fixed his eyes on a direction and a halo of light floated in his mind.

After his previous experience, Ye Hao knew that this space was unimaginably vast, but even so, after walking for a long time, he still didn't discover anything. Even the scenery in front of his eyes didn't seem to have changed.

Even though this space was vast, it was empty. Other than the rolling gray fog above, it could be said that there was nothing here. How could he figure out the origin of the drop of blood essence?

"I don't believe that you really have no end." He grumbled to himself as he kept moving forward at full speed.

"..."

"F * ck!" "Play with me!"

No one knew how much time had passed. At least Ye Hao felt that a few days and nights had passed, but the scene in front of him did not change at all. Even with his personality, he could not help but curse.

If he couldn't get anything out of this mysterious space and was trapped here, then it would be a lot of fun.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao became even more ruthless. He rushed forward once again, and just as he was running at full speed, a faint angry curse suddenly came from afar. It broke the silence of this place, causing Ye Hao to be greatly shocked.

"You motherf * cker, let go of Master Shen!"

Listening to this angry curse, Ye Hao was stunned for a moment. His mind felt like it had been struck by lightning. An unprecedented shock filled the air. In this mysterious space of the grey pearl, there was actually someone else?

"This... I guess I'm hallucinating. "

Laughing dryly, Ye Hao tried his best to hold back the fear in his heart. He stayed where he was and listened attentively for a while. From afar, the faint sounds of cursing could still be heard.

"There's really someone here?"

At this moment, Ye Hao's heart was in turmoil. It has to be said that this mysterious bead was in his body.

If that was the case, then why was there a second person?

As he thought of this, an intense discomfort arose in his heart. This was too strange.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally suppressed the fear in his heart and bravely rushed towards the direction of the curse.

After walking for who knows how far, the faint cursing sounds became clearer and clearer. As for Ye Hao, after seeing the scene that was slowly becoming clearer, his heart suddenly shook.

In front of him, thick black clouds roiled about like a torrential downpour. They spanned out in front of him, forming a world without end. It was like a barrier between heaven and earth, an extremely spectacular sight.

In front of the barrier, an illusory figure dressed in white floated in mid-air, cursing at the rolling black cloud. Upon closer inspection, the figure's four limbs were entwined with chains formed from the black cloud.

Clearly, this mysterious creature was bound here by the chains of the black clouds.

As Ye Hao approached, the figure that was locked in mid-air sensed something. He turned his head to look at the weak light ball that Ye Hao had condensed in his mind. After a slight pause, he exclaimed in surprise: "Eh, it's you brat.

The man in white was a middle-aged man with a slender and illusory figure, sharp eyebrows, a handsome face, and eyes as deep as the abyss. He looked elegant, but his aura was unfathomable and unfathomable.

Especially when those eyes looked over, Ye Hao felt as if two lightning bolts were descending from the sky, causing his mind to almost collapse.

Forcefully concentrating his mind, Ye Hao quickly took a few steps back. He looked at the man with caution and said: "You know me?"

"Nonsense, Master Shen has been trapped in this broken bead for four whole years, it would be hard for me not to know you." The man sneered. He pulled the chain on his arm and shouted at Ye Hao, "Brat, come over here. Hurry up and untie this broken chain for Master Shen!"
