Chapter 365: The Heaven-Opening Art and the Dragon’s Son

The Heaven-Opening Art was the strongest cultivation technique of the Taihuang family. Although it was the same art, it was divided into four levels based on the practitioner’s talent.

The first level was the “Foundation-Building Scroll.” This was the most basic and common part of the Heaven-Opening Art, taught to all direct descendants of the Taihuang family. If one demonstrated exceptional talent, they would be granted access to the second level.

The second level was the “Qi-Transforming Scroll.” Those who mastered this scroll were truly considered inner disciples of the Taihuang family. They received dedicated guidance and substantial resources.

The third level was the “Spirit-Refining Scroll.” This was only available to a select few, the core disciples of the Taihuang family. These individuals were groomed as future pillars of the family, potentially even as the next head.

The fourth level was the “Universe-Shaking Scroll.” This was the highest and most profound part of the Heaven-Opening Art, accessible only to the family head and a handful of elders. It was the ultimate secret of the Taihuang family, containing unimaginable power.

Taihuang Tian had only cultivated the “Spirit-Refining Scroll,” yet he had already become a top expert, capable of challenging masters from other ancient families. This was a testament to the Heaven-Opening Art’s incredible power.

The Heaven-Opening Art focused on building a strong foundation. The first three levels cultivated the “Origin of All Daos,” a unique energy source that combined spiritual energy, vital energy, and divine energy. It was a potent and versatile power, superior to ordinary spiritual energy.

The “Origin of All Daos” not only enhanced combat prowess but also purified the body, making it more robust and adaptable to various environments. This was why Taihuang Tian’s recovery ability was so astonishing, akin to that of a true dragon.

The fourth level, the “Universe-Shaking Scroll,” went beyond simply cultivating the “Origin of All Daos.” It aimed to transform the body into a “Universe Body,” allowing the practitioner to harness the power of the heavens and earth. This was an incredibly ambitious and difficult endeavor, but if successful, it granted near-invincible power.

The Taihuang family’s “Heaven-Opening Art” was undoubtedly one of the strongest cultivation techniques in the world. It was a testament to their long history and profound heritage.

In addition to the Heaven-Opening Art, there was another unique aspect of the Taihuang family: the “Dragon’s Son.” This was a secret technique that allowed certain individuals to be born with a special connection to dragons, granting them enhanced abilities and a natural affinity for dragon-related powers. Taihuang Tian was one such “Dragon’s Son,” which further amplified his formidable strength.
