After a moment of disorientation, Ren Xiaoyao found himself lying in a vast desert, surrounded by nothing but yellow sand and the howling wind.

Despite the desolate scenery, Ren Xiaoyao's breath quickened with excitement because he realized that the Stone Pearl was a Divine Artifact.

A Divine Artifact, the weapon of the gods, was rumored not only to possess its own world but also to create the laws of a realm, making it the supreme existence among weapons.

In his previous life, as a Martial Emperor, he had seen countless weapons but never a Divine Artifact, even believing it to be a mere legend.

Now, looking at this independent world before him, Ren Xiaoyao knew the rumors were true. Divine Artifacts not only existed but had been obtained by his predecessor.

"I'm just a cripple now, even having a Divine Artifact is useless!"

Ren Xiaoyao's joy was short-lived, quickly overshadowed by reality.

However, before he could finish speaking, a chaotic light mass shot down from the void and entered his body.

"This..."

As the chaotic light mass entered his body, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the sky in disbelief.

At this moment, he discovered a mysterious technique called the Yin-Yang Canon in his mind, and at the same time, an immense energy mass within his body.

Ren Xiaoyao's thoughts raced. Although he didn't understand why this was happening, he attempted to cultivate the Yin-Yang Canon in his mind.

As the Yin-Yang Canon operated, Ren Xiaoyao found that the energy mass seemed guided, gradually healing his injuries and meridians.

This discovery gave Ren Xiaoyao a glimmer of hope. He immediately cleared his mind of distractions and focused entirely on cultivating the Yin-Yang Canon.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

With the help of the energy within, Ren Xiaoyao not only fully recovered his meridians and injuries but also developed a pair of Yin-Yang Twin Cores within his body through the Yin-Yang Canon.

Thus, Ren Xiaoyao's once crippled body regained the conditions for cultivation, becoming a martial artist, and moreover, a super genius with a Nine-attribute Divine Vein.

Seeing that two-thirds of the energy remained, Ren Xiaoyao continued his cultivation, and three days later, he broke through to the 3rd-level Martial Apprentice Realm.

In the Divine Martial Realm, martial arts are divided into ten realms, from lowest to highest: Martial Apprentice, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Martial King, Martial Grandmaster, Martial Monarch, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor, and Martial God.

Within these ten major realms, each major realm has nine sub-levels.

However, although the Divine Martial Realm has the Martial God realm, Ren Xiaoyao, after many years of cultivation, had never seen a Martial God. The Martial Emperor was the pinnacle of martial arts in the Divine Martial Realm.

Though his current strength was weak, breaking through to the 3rd-level Martial Apprentice Realm in just three days left Ren Xiaoyao quite satisfied.

Looking at the desert before him, Ren Xiaoyao was filled with hope for the future. He believed that with his martial insights from his previous life, returning to the peak was just a matter of time.

"Something seems off; this world seems different from before."

Focusing back on the world before him, Ren Xiaoyao noticed something unusual. The desert seemed much more expansive than when he first entered.

"Could it be that the boundaries of this world expand with my martial progress?" A bold hypothesis suddenly popped into Ren Xiaoyao's mind as he gazed at the world before him.

"Let's test it!"

With that, Ren Xiaoyao resumed his cultivation.

"Brother Chen, breakfast is ready."

Just then, a voice came from outside the room.

Recalling the memories of his predecessor, Ren Xiaoyao immediately ended his cultivation. With a thought, he returned to the outside world, concealing his martial aura and lying down on the bed.

Then, the Stone Bead dimmed and entered Ren Xiaoyao's mind. At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a young boy walked in carrying breakfast.
