Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Chu Qin left the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary and entered the Holy Domain Cemetery.

The Holy Domain Cemetery was nothing like what Chu Qin had imagined.

A cemetery should have rows of grave markers and a proliferation of tombs, all shrouded in an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

Yet the scenery here was astonishingly beautiful, with the sky above the entire space awash in a kaleidoscope of colors, as if a myriad of flowers were blooming in midair.

Below lay multicolored planets of varying sizes.

Had one not known this to be a cemetery, they might have mistaken it for a vast galaxy.

"This place, this is the Holy Domain Cemetery?" Chu Qin was slightly startled.

"Indeed!" Blood Dragon Venerable nodded, "The outer areas are the cemeteries left by the various sanctuaries in recent times. If you want to go deeper, there, you will find the cemeteries from before the primordial wars."

"Alright!"

Chu Qin took a step forward.

Along the way, he encountered many such colorful planets.

Lastly, he arrived at the center, a place bathed in pitch darkness. Around him, it seemed nothing could be seen, let alone planets and tombs.

"There is nothing? No, that's not right!"

Through the Eye of the World that opened within Chu Qin's pupils, he finally detected a crack in space.

Following that crevice, Chu Qin entered the deepest part of the final cemetery.

Here, indeed, there were some traits of a cemetery, a landscape of desolation all around.

In front of him stood countless tombstones, stretching beyond what the eye could see, much like a legion of a billion soldiers.

In contrast to the fancy exteriors, this place was solemn and dignified.

The tombstones were lined up in perfect order, almost as though intentionally arranged.

"Venerable Dragon Predecessor, so many tombstones? Are these all from before the primordial wars?" Chu Qin inquired.

"Precisely, the tombstones in the middle belong to some peak powerhouses," Blood Dragon Venerable affirmed, nodding. "You might find the elements you seek there."

Heeding these words, Chu Qin teleported to the center.

Indeed, here there were tombstones as towering as mountains, nameless and without inscriptions, exuding not the slightest fluctuation of divine power.

However, the surrounding soil, the blowing wind, and the clouds in the sky were all extraordinary, imbued with the breath of the mighty.

As Blood Dragon Venerable described, these nameless powerhouse's years of death were so ancient they instilled fear.

All that was left of them had decayed, including their divine power, but it was through the refining of their divine power and souls that everything around them was imbued with exceptional power of the Dao and elemental forces.

"Indeed, such strong Earth Element." Chu Qin crouched down, touching the soil. He could clearly sense the Earth Element contained within.

"Thanks to the refinement of these formidable beings, these elemental forces of wind, water, and earth... are extremely pure, with very few impurities. Lucky for you, these elements are generally useless to most people, so no one wants them; otherwise, it wouldn't be your turn," Blood Dragon Venerable said, laughing heartily.

"Well then, let's give it a try here," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

The next moment, a golden light flashed from within his Soul-Guiding Divine Artifact, and a golden cauldron appeared in midair.

This golden cauldron, engraved with various patterns of birds and beasts, was none other than the Great Dao Cauldron!

"Contained within this cauldron are profound forces of the Dao, perhaps no less mysterious than The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique. Chu Qin, my friend, where did you obtain this?" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign inquired.

"Zhen Yuan, why are you so curious? What would you do with that knowledge? Are you planning to steal it? Better focus on researching your Supreme Secret Method," Blood Dragon Venerable's voice rang out before Chu Qin could reply.

"You old rascal, I was just curiously asking!"

"Enough, don't delay Chu Qin's refining process!"

Chu Qin chuckled softly and then immersed himself fully into the refining.

Under the operation of his divine power, the soil from atop this mysterious tomb began to enter the cauldron, bit by bit.

"Rumble!"

Unexpectedly, at the very moment when the soil entered the cauldron, a roaring explosion sounded from the already darkened sky.

There, thunder boomed, and lightning flashed furiously.

"Hmm, what's happening?" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that I've triggered the cemetery's taboo?"

"Impossible, right?" Blood Dragon Venerable was also somewhat amazed.

"Who cares, if thunder falls, let it fall; consider it a baptism," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

And thunder did indeed fall.

Like a Heavenly Tribulation, it plummeted from the heights of the ninth heaven, striking Chu Qin directly.

Natural thunder within this cemetery was not ordinary thunder.

It was a prohibition within the cemetery.

Now, Chu Qin had triggered it.

However, as Chu Qin said, this thunder was potent enough to pose a significant threat to ordinary Venerates of Heavens.

But was Chu Qin an ordinary Venerate of Heavens?

The answer is negative. He was not just an ordinary Venerate of Heavens; within his body, he possessed various powerful ancient bloodlines, in addition to the Blood Dragon Flame and the Spiritus Decem Transformation refining his soul, and the Three Transformations of Heaven's Honor fortifying his body.

Chu Qin's body, from inside out, was extraordinarily resilient at every spot.

Therefore, for him, this thunder had no effect whatsoever.

This caused a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows to show a trace of astonishment, "Damn it. How can he be so tough!"

Meanwhile, the soil that had entered the Great Dao Cauldron began to be purified by the power within the cauldron.

The process of purification was extremely slow, and only a tiny portion of impurities could be refined in one Shi Chen.

Even so, Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign and Blood Dragon Venerable were already very excited because the soil from the Heavenly Tomb was terrifyingly pure.

Ordinarily, even for strong beings like them, it could take millions or even tens of millions of years to refine the impurities within such soil.

That was because all things in the universe evolved and integrated with each other. Even the energy in their bodies was vastly complex, let alone purifying the most refined substances of heaven and earth.

Yet the Great Dao Cauldron had accomplished it, which they couldn't help but marvel at.

Soon, one day had passed.

Chu Qin had stared at the Great Dao Cauldron for an entire day.

Finally, accompanied by a blinding burst of golden light.

The purest Earth Element appeared within the Great Dao Cauldron!

"Success!" At this moment, the three of them, including Chu Qin, were overjoyed.

"Quick, quick, quick, Chu Qin, my friend, try infusing this Earth Element into your Supreme Azure Dragon Seal," Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign said happily.

"Okay!"

Chu Qin nodded and immediately summoned the long-sealed Supreme Azure Dragon Seal from his forehead.

Next, he placed the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal into the Great Dao Cauldron.

What followed was a moment of delightful surprise.

As soon as the pure Earth Element touched the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal, it was drawn to it like iron filings to a magnet, starting to converge on the seal furiously.

Quickly, all of the Earth Element fused with the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal.

In that moment, it was quite apparent that a strong force had been released from within the Azure Dragon Seal.

This force felt like a primordial fierce beast awakening; even a slight touch was enough to invoke fear in people.

Chu Qin was thrilled. This indicated that there indeed existed some strong creature within the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal!

And an even more exciting event occurred for Chu Qin.

As soon as the First Seal of the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal was unlocked, the power and realm within his body also began to soar.

Chu Qin directly advanced from being a Human Venerable to the pinnacle of Human Venerable!

"Chu Qin, how is this possible?" The soul of the Blood Dragon Venerable partially recovered again with Chu Qin's advancement, prompting him to ask in surprise.

"It's probably because I am one with the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal," Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "As the seal on the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal is lifted, my realm will also attain a boost. Just the First Seal is already so powerful; I am looking forward to seeing how much more I can improve when the subsequent seals are unlocked!"

"Quick, let's refine the next one!" Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign exclaimed with excitement.

"Okay!" Chu Qin's face showed excitement.

The next moment, he chose to refine the Wood Element, and the deadwood in the Heavenly Tomb became his first choice.

Another day passed, and under the refinement of the Great Dao Cauldron, the pure Wood Element was extracted.

The Supreme Azure Dragon Seal, with further unlocked seals, grew stronger still.

Chu Qin, too, became increasingly powerful.

Afterward, Chu Qin successively refined the wind element and Thunder element.

The moment the fourth-layer seal broke open, Chu Qin directly ascended to the realm of an Earthly Venerate!

For Human Venerables to upgrade to Earthly Venerates, even for peak talents like Blood Dragon Venerable and Zhen Yuan, it would take at least a hundred million years!

Yet, in Chu Qin's case, the ascension from Human Venerable to Earthly Venerate took merely seven days!

No wonder Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign and Blood Dragon Venerable referred to Chu Qin as a monster.

"The fluctuations within the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal are becoming stronger," Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "Good, next, I'll commence the lifting of the fifth seal and refine the Gold element!"
