As Ye Yi Zheng sat down crossed legged, Hou Yuhao passed on a cultivation technique to him. "This cultivation technique requires one to have an incredibly powerful physique in order to make a breakthrough at each stage, first I will need to temper your body using a medicinal bath, however, this will cause you to be in such pain, you would wish you were dead." He said gravely

"Do you think you will be able to overcome this pain? As you progress the pain will get worse and worse. However, if you were to smoothly pass through each tribulation, you will be invincible within the same realm. Anyways the name of the technique is the Heaven Suppressing Scripture."

"Of course! With my talent no matter how much effort I put in the most I will be able to achieve in my lifetime is the Qi Condensation stage, I will do whatever it takes to be able to reach the peak. But is it really possible to be invincible within the same realm? Also since it's so great why didn't you cultivate it?" Yi Zheng asked

"Good! A Disciple of I Hou Yuhao cannot be coward! As for why I didn't cultivate it, that year when I found it in an ancient temple, I had already reached the peak of cultivation, only a step away from shattering the void. The reason I couldn't breakthrough at that point was that there was a defect in my foundation. In my earlier years, I traveled the world on my own and came from a small village, and relied on myself."

"Also if you can complete each tribulation with perfection, not only will you be invincible within the same realm, you'll even be able to kill those above your realm!" He continued

This caused Yi Zheng to be frozen in shock, it was widely known that a genius could cultivate faster than the average person whilst a great genius could battle and maybe even kill those a couple stages above them. The concept of being invincible within the same realm was almost unheard of, yet he was just told that he could even kill those above his realm!

"Now let me prepare the medicinal bath for you." Hou Yuhao said

He then disappeared into the necklace for a few moments, before returning with a large number of medicinal herbs and a large basin

"Alright kid, give me a few moments then you can jump in." he said

Alchemy God Hou then placed the large basin down and threw in all the herbs then finally added a strange liquid as Yi Zheng woke up from his daze

"It's ready, for now, I'll stay inside the ring so it won't be as noisy." He said then disappeared

As Yi Zheng jumped in the basin, he immediately felt bone piercing pain. "ARG!" he shouted then continued to endure the pain as he sweats profusely

Hou Yuhao who was within the necklace thought to himself "Hmm this kids not bad, after yelling out once, he stopped. Though now his expression looks pretty unsightly"

After enduring the pain of the medicinal bath, Yi Zheng's physique had undergone a tremendous change. He grew a bit taller becoming 180 cm tall at the age of 16 also his skin became as white as snow. His body though it wasn't thin or overly big, had become refined to the point that it seemed like it came from a paining ! The biggest change wasn't his height, skin or his body. The biggest change is to his face! His already handsome face became perfect to the point that one would faint just from looking at it!

"Now that your body's been tempered, I will now pass on the verse. Listen carefully as I recite the verse." God Yuhao said

"I am the eternal sovereign,

My name shall shake the heavens,

Even the gods and devils will cry,

Within the 9 heavens and earth, all are beneath me,

My will shall remain eternal!

....."

"This.. so domineering.." Yi Zheng said

"If it weren't domineering, how will one reach the peak and shatter the void and ascend to godhood? Anyways begin!" Hou Yuhao shouted

Yi Zheng then repeated the verse a couple times before completely memorizing it. As he begun cultivating from the scripture, the energy of the heaven and earth within a radius of 1000 li all rushed towards his location

Hou Yuhao then thought internally "What?! all the energy within 1000 li have all gathered here and is being absorbed at astonishing speed! Did the scripture change his talent? If so, at his rate he will reach the peak centuries faster than it took me! Looks like I didn't understand everything about the scripture. Such an amazing scripture, whoever created it must have reached the top even in the divine realm, or maybe it came into being during the primordial stage of the world, before even the heavens and earth was formed

The next morning, Yi Zheng awoke from his cultivation. His body was now even more vigorous than when he was at the Body Tempering stage 2 even though he just started.

He then thought to himself, "Wow after a single nights cultivation I've already reached the 1st stage of the Body tempering realm, in the past, it took me months. This scripture is great!"

As he was thinking to himself, God Yuhao came out from within the necklace and said "Hey kid, now that you've once again begun your journey of cultivation I'll teach you two martial art techniques and a movement technique"

"Great! What level are the techniques? And what kinds are they?" Yi Zheng said excitingly

"Be patient kid, first I will teach you a sword technique and a fist technique, both are low-level black techniques, the movement technique is the same, though they are pretty low level, they will provide you a solid foundation" God Yuhao said

"What! Three low-level black techniques? In my clan, only Elder's and above are allowed to learn even one, even then our clan which is one of the four strongest in the city there are only two techniques at that level! Ye Zheng shouted in shock

"Kid, the world is a vast place, your city is located in a tiny little kingdom around the edge of a larger kingdom and even then they are only a small part of an even larger kingdom that is then split into 5 territories. And that is only within this world, there are still another 8 worlds beyond this one, in my eyes, your clan is considered to be poorer than beggars in the higher worlds." the Alchemy god said whilst smirking

"Wow! The world really is vast, I can't wait to travel around the 9 heavens and earths! I didn't think they existed though. But first I need to grow strong enough to be able to protect myself." Yi Zheng said

"Well said, now I will impart you a fist technique, it's called the iron dragon fist, once you've mastered it to perfection your hands will resemble a dragon's claw and pierce through blood steel as if it were tofu." Hou Yuhao said

"Great! I'll put in all my effort into mastering it!" Yi Zheng replied
