Coiling Dragon Stream—the mostforbiddenplace inHigh Heaven!

This was not merely a place of danger; it wasa death sentence.

💨The winds howled fiercely, strong enough torip a man from his feetand send him plummeting into the endless abyss below. The stream's depths were an eternal mystery—no one who had ever fallenhad lived to tell the tale.

And yet, it was here thatexiled discipleswere sent.

A fate worse than death.

Why not simplyexecute themoutright? Why cast them into this abyss with a fewmeager rations?

Yang Kaicouldn't understand it.

Perhaps it was meant to be a cruel joke—giving a false hope of survival before the inevitable came to claim them.

But this place wasn'tjusta prison.

💔It was also a graveyard for lovers.

Many stories whispered throughHigh Heaven 's halls, tales ofstar-crossed pairswho had lost their partners to fate. Overcome with grief, theyleapt togetherinto the abyss, choosingeternal unity in deathover a lifetime of loneliness.

The male disciples knew these tales well.

They wouldrecount them to their sweethearts, weaving heart-wrenching tragedies that left the young womenweeping in their arms. It was a tried-and-true technique, stirringpityandaffection, melting even the coldest hearts.

"But those are just stories."

Yang Kaishook his head, pushing away the distractions. Hisfocus remained sharpas he took a slow step forward, his gaze locked onto the abyss.

❓Why was there Yang Qi here?❓

Hischest tingled, hisOrigin of Yang pulsing faintly.

This wasn't like the weak, scattered traces of Yang Qi he had sensed before—this was something else entirely.

🔥A dense, concentrated source… and it was rising from within the abyss!🔥

Even while standing at the edge, Yang Kai could already feel itspure warmthflowing through the air.

This wasdifferent from sunlight—it was morepotent, richer, as if it had been distilled to its purest essence.

Yang Kaihesitatedfor only a moment.

Then, he sat downright there, cross-legged, and began tocultivate.

☀True Yang Tactics thrived in Yang energy.

And here, at theCoiling Dragon Stream, Yang Kai had stumbled upon anunimaginably rich source.

Hisbreath steadied, hismind cleared, and heguided his World Qialong the meridians of his body.

Slowly.

Carefully.

As theYang energy seeped into him, the sluggish flow of his Qiaccelerated.

🔸The difference was staggering.🔸

Even under the direct sun, it had taken himthree full daystogather a tiny sliver of World Qi.

But now?

One night.Just one night.

And he had already gained as much as he had in those three days.

"Unbelievable…"

Yang Kaiopened his eyesat dawn, inspecting himself in quiet amazement.

HisWorld Qi had grown stronger, no longer flickering like a weak flame in a storm.

It burnedbrighternow.Steadier.

And along with it, hiscontrol over Qihad improved.

As thefirst rays of morning lightbroke across the sky, Yang Kaistood up.

Even after a full night of cultivation, he feltno exhaustion—onlyvigorous energysurging through his body.

But cultivation alone wasn't enough.

👊Discipline was everything.

He immediately began hisdaily tempered body training, hisfists hammering the air, sweatdripping down his skinas hepushed himself to the limit.

Thewinds howledaround him, yet he remainedrootedin place, unwavering.

🔥He rushed back to the Coiling Dragon Stream.🔥

🌊 Devouring the Yang Qi 🌊

💨The gales howled, strong enough topush lesser men away.

But Yang Kaiignored them.

🔥The only thing that mattered was the Yang Qi.🔥

He sat down again, closed his eyes, and began.

The moment he started circulating hisWorld Qi, amysterious sensationsurged through him—

Hispores openedwide, hungrilyabsorbing the Yang Qiaround him like a starving beast.

🔥It was intoxicating.🔥

A warmthrushed through his veins, filling his limbs withenergy.

The days blurred together.

🔸One day.🔸Two days.

By the time he opened his eyes again, hisprogress was undeniable.

HisWorld Qi had nearly doubled.

But more importantly—

At thecenter of his dantian, asmall fiery orbhad formed.

🔥A ball of pure Yang energy!🔥

This wasa distinct characteristic of the True Yang Tactics—as it absorbed Yang Qi, it converted World Qi intoa flame-like essence.

"This… this is incredible!"

Hours passed.

His meridiansstrainedunder the rapid influx of energy.

Hisdantian pulsed, swelling likean overfilled vessel.

It felt like…

🥵Like he had eaten too much.

A heavy, bloated sensation—his body screaming at him tostop.

🔥But Yang Kai refused.🔥

"I'm not at my limit yet!"

He pushed forward,ignoring the discomfort.

Half an hour passed.

Then—

💥His body suddenly felt light.

The pressurevanished, his Qi flowingeffortlesslythrough his dantian.

Then—

💧Drip.

A faint sound echoed in his mind.

Yang Kai'seyes snapped open, his heartbeatthunderingin his chest.

Inside hisdantian, something new had appeared.

Asingle dropof liquid.

🔥Yang Liquid!🔥

"I… I did it!"

This was thefirst step to unlocking the true power of the True Yang Tactics.

This single drop—though small—was the key tounimaginable strength.

Yang Kai clenched his fists, feeling anew surge of energyrace through his veins.

.............................

In these past few days, he had constantly skipped his meals and gone without sleep. Although this had brought about great results in regards to his cultivation, it had placed a great strain on his body. In order to cultivate well, you must do all things in moderation in order to avoid long term dangers.

Standing up, he patted his bottom clean of dirt and walked lightly back to his wooden hut.
