Chapter 295: The Sacred Body Confirmed, Supreme Elder Alarmed!

The Sacred Body Confirmed, Supreme Elder Alarmed!

Several days later, Gu Changge lay on his bed, gazing absent-mindedly at the ceiling.

This was far more tiring than battling a Ninth Grade opponent.

Wang Yue and Liu Qingqing, each clinging to one of his arms, were equally exhausted.

However, he had not forgotten his responsibilities.

With a thought, he summoned the Daoist Couple panel:

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]

[Root Bone: 215]

[Comprehension: 215]

[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Cold Technique (Heavenly Rank Lower)]

[Realm: Ruins Realm・Perfection]

…

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue]

[Root Bone: 230]

[Comprehension: 250]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret (Heavenly Rank Lower)]

[Realm: Ruins Realm・Perfection]

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

Previously in Duanbei City, he had fed both Wang Yue and Yuan Youbai some elixirs, causing both their Root Bone and Comprehension to surpass that of Liu Qingqing.

After calculating through the panel,

He silently thought to exchange the elixirs:

[Exchange: Third Grade Root Bone Pill (+84) one, Third Grade Comprehension Pill (+84) one, elixirs have been issued to System Space!]

[Exchange: Third Grade Root Bone Pill (+69) two, Third Grade Comprehension Pill (+49) two, elixirs have been issued to System Space!]

[Exchange: Fourth Grade Root Bone Pill (+1) three, Fourth Grade Comprehension Pill (+1) three, elixirs have been issued to System Space!]

[Total Attribute Points Spent: 928,000, host remaining Attribute Points: 8,722,000!]

Just one exchange had directly consumed almost a million Attribute Points.

Yet these over nine hundred thousand Attribute Points meant nothing to Gu Changge at this point.

It was all thanks to that top-ranked Great Power from the Wu Family, a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“What is husband thinking about?”

Wang Yue ran her finger across his neck and seeing him still staring at the ceiling, asked out of curiosity.

“Nothing much,”

“Just thinking that in a little over a month we’ll head to the Central State Sword Sect, and I’m somewhat reluctant to leave my wives.”

Gu Changge smiled lightly and casually answered.

“Well then,”

“During this time, my lord husband should really work hard,”

“To accomplish the tasks for the next few years ahead of time.”

Wang Yue smirked charmingly, narrowing her eyes as she spoke.

“Cough, let’s slow down.”

“I still have some elixirs here.”

“Before leaving, I at least need to further enhance my wives’ talents,”

“So that they don’t fall too far behind in their realms.”

Gu Changge, nearly out of resources, hastily changed the subject upon hearing this.

During the conversation, he had already taken out the wooden box containing the elixirs and handed them to both women.

“Husband, how long will you be at the Sword Sect before you return?”

Liu Qingqing took the wooden box, knowing they would part soon, and couldn’t help feeling reluctant as she asked.

“It won’t be too long.”

“At most two to three years, at least three to five years.”

“However, should my wife encounter any trouble, I will rush back to Northern Domain at once.”

Gu Changge stroked her hair gently and spoke softly.

With his current Cultivation speed, in three to five years, he should have broken through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!

“Uh-huh…”

Without saying much more, Liu Qingqing also knew, husband was planning to improve her qualifications and Root Bone before heading to Central State.

Helped by the two, Gu Changge was now neatly dressed.

He stepped out the door, and as the two entered the Seclusion Room, Yuan Youbai also heard the noise and popped her head out from her room.

“Here, this is yours.”

Gu Changge just reached the door and saw the little one, directly handing out the elixirs he had prepared for her.

“Thank you, Lord Husband!”

Yuan Youbai politely took the wooden box containing the elixirs, came out of the room, tiptoed, and pecked his cheek.

Then, sniffing gently, apart from her husband’s pleasant scent, she detected the scents of her two sisters.

Only after her husband stroked her head did she obediently return to her room, took out the elixirs, and swallowed them in one gulp.

After taking the elixirs, she fell asleep directly, not even closing the door.

Watching this scene, Gu Changge couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

Little Hanhan was now completely unguarded, but that was perhaps for the best.

After closing her room door, Gu Changge began his own Cultivation.

This time his own Root Bone and Comprehension were about to receive a terrifying enhancement!

…

[Central State・Immortal Ascension Sect]

In the cave, Li Fei looked helpless.

“Elder Li, did you not fully inform Saint Jiang of the situation?”

Sage Zhang frowned, somewhat puzzled as he looked at him.

“No, I noticed that Saint Jiang’s mood was off. If I continued, I’m afraid he might not cope, and his Tao Heart would collapse.”

Li Fei shook his head, showing further helplessness.

“Then… how should we handle this?” Sage Zhang sighed after hearing this.

Since returning to the Immortal Ascension Sect, he had been deeply worried every day.

The talent and strength displayed by that young man from the Gu Family were simply too heaven-defying.

Now that the plan had failed, he would certainly bear a grudge.

Once he arrived at the Sword Sect, what should they do?

“We should report to the Sect Master.”

“This young man is far too special, not merely an Extreme Dao Body.”

“Only by informing the Sect Master of everything, might we two stand a chance at survival.”

Li Fei sighed deeply, his expression complex as he spoke.

He had lived nearly two thousand years and had never encountered such a heaven-defying being; a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm killing a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, and he used four or five Innate Divine Abilities.

After returning to the Immortal Ascension Sect, he even went to the Book Collection Pavilion and flipped through all the records about the Extreme Dao Body in Central State.

Yet, he never found anyone who simultaneously wielded two Innate Divine Abilities.

This young man… he was truly too extraordinary!

“This…”

Hearing that they needed to report to the Sect Master, Sage Zhang hesitated, his expression uncertain.

They had gone to the Northern Domain to harm that Sword Sect’s Saint who had not yet entered the Mountain Gate for the sake of the Fifth Peak’s Saint.

Sect Master might be punished if he were to find out,

especially…

since they had failed, that was the most unbearable part!

It’s embarrassing…

“Could it be, Elder Zhang plans to wait until later, when that Gu Family lad grows up and reaches a realm beyond the Ninth Grade, and then personally kills the two of us like those from the Wu Family at the Ninth Grade to his satisfaction?”

Seeing his hesitation, Li Fei gave a bitter smile.

He shook his head and had already stood up, walking out of the cave.

“Forget it…”

“Let’s do as Daoist Fellow Li said.”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Zhang no longer said anything, and directly followed.

But before they went to report to the Sect Master, they took a trip to Saint Peak, wanting to see if Saint Jiang Li had calmed down.

However, the result was not as they hoped…

Saint Jiang Li appeared to be in very bad shape.

Upon seeing the two Elders, his first reaction was to ask, “Has that surnamed Gu arrived in Central State yet?”

“I haven’t heard of his move to Central State yet.”

“Saint need not worry too much…”

Sage Li Fei saw a hint of fear in his eyes as he spoke.

He could only softly console him.

Elder Zhang, upon seeing this, also sighed. Daoist Fellow Li was right; if they were to tell Saint Jiang Li everything, he feared his Tao Heart wouldn’t be able to bear it.

“It’s good he hasn’t come yet… there’s still a chance.”

“I shall continue my seclusion!”

“If I can break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm before his arrival, I will definitely crush him underfoot!”

“Elders, please go ahead with your tasks; I must cultivate!”

Jiang Li, hearing that Gu Changge had not yet arrived in Central State, breathed a sigh of relief.

He promptly issued a dismissal order, then took out a Jade Bottle, consumed the Inner Elixir within, and continued his cultivation!

Although it was said that the opponent could kill a Ninth Grade from the Sixth Grade realm, that was ultimately just a Ninth Grade of the Wu Family, and his own strength would be much stronger if he could break through to the Ninth Grade!

Even now, at the Eighth Grade Perfection, facing that Ninth Grade of the Wu Family, he also had a great chance of winning.

Just by breaking through to the Ninth Grade, he would definitely be able to suppress him, definitely…

“Let’s go…”

Sage Li Fei took one deep look at Saint Jiang Li and then left with True Monarch Zhang.

The thoughts of Saint Jiang Li, in their eyes, seemed somewhat laughable.

The strength displayed by Gu Changge was simply beyond human reach.

Even if Saint Jiang Li could break through to the Ninth Grade, he could probably only suppress the Sixth Grade Gu Changge.

When the opponent arrives in Central State, his realm would definitely have broken through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm.

By then, Jiang Li still had no chance of victory!

Moreover, the same leap from Perfection to the next Small Realm, Gu Changge’s increase in strength might be even more apparent!

The better the talent, the greater each realm’s improvement, naturally!

After not much time, the two appeared before Immortal Ascension Sect’s Sect Master, True Monarch Bai.

He was seated on the mountain summit, clad in a white Daoist Robe which added an air of immortality to him, with a True Realm Immortal Crane lying beside him.

“Sect Master…”

The two exchanged glances, bowed and saluted.

“What’s the matter?”

True Monarch Bai did not open his eyes and casually asked.

He continued his cultivation and casually stroked the Immortal Crane beside him.

“We have caused a disaster, and ask the Sect Master’s punishment!”

After receiving the Sect Master’s response, the two deeply bowed, their heads not lifting.”

“Hmm?”

This statement also made True Monarch Bai frown and look up.

He signaled for them to elaborate.

After listening to the entire account of their actions in the Northern Domain,

True Monarch Bai fell silent for a moment.

“You’re saying, that Northern Domain Gu lad killed a Ninth Grade from the Sixth Grade and remained unscathed?”

“And mastered more than four Innate Divine Skills!?”

After a while, True Monarch Bai incredulously asked.

“Yes!”

“We witnessed it with our own eyes, there’s not a shred of falsehood!”

The two hurriedly nodded.

“Impossible…”

“Not even the Extreme Dao Body is possible.”

“He…”

“He must be not just an Extreme Dao Body, but a never-before-seen Saint Body Talent!”

“Only such could accomplish this feat!”

True Monarch Bai murmured to himself, his face full of astonishment.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that what Immortal Ascension Sect had lost might not just be a Dao Body.

Nor was it the drastic reduction of Disciples entering Immortal Ascension Sect’s Mountain Gate for the next few thousand years.

But rather, they had missed out on a Heavenly Pride Son that the world had never seen before!

But now, it was too late…

“Sect Master, should we take some measures…”

True Monarch Zhang, hearing Sect Master’s words, hesitantly asked.

“What measures should we take?”

“You only just reported the news from the Northern Domain a few days ago.”

“Sword Sect must have already prepared!”

“Now… Sword Sect has probably dispatched at least a True Monarch Realm to secretly guard.”

“There’s no chance now.”

True Monarch Bai sighed deeply.

Yet, he did not continue to punish the two, but instead, dismissed them.

He sat alone on the mountain summit, looking up at the sky.

This time, Immortal Ascension Sect might have lost completely, but it doesn’t matter.

The Four Great Sacred Lands are still the Four Great Sacred Lands, and they wouldn’t go to the extent of paying a heavy price to target a Heavenly Pride Son.

How could his immensely powerful abilities matter in the long run when the day comes for one to prove as a Human Immortal and ascend?

The position of the Four Great Sacred Lands isn’t something one individual can shake.

It’s merely a matter of earlier or later, and this time it seems Sword Sect is likely to become the undisputed leader of the Sacred Lands.

But this result, True Monarch Bai also couldn’t change, only regretting that during the initial persuasion, he hadn’t offered higher treatments, more chips!

As for the death of the Ninth Saint Son Wu Jiang…

He got what he deserved!

Had it not been for Wu Jiang, perhaps Gu Changge might not have chosen Sword Sect.

…

[Sword Sect]

Just as True Monarch Bai said, at this moment the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Wu Hen Monarch, was respectfully standing before the barrier of a vital area on an Immortal Mountain.

“You want me, a Supreme Elder, to go to the Northern Domain and protect a junior?”

“Wu Hen, have you lost your mind?”

In the restricted area, the Supreme Elders burst into an exasperated laugh upon hearing Wu Hen Monarch’s request.

They almost couldn’t help kicking him right off the peak they were standing on.

He, a being of the Land Immortal Realm Great Power, was one of the mightiest in this world.

For him to travel all the way to the Northern Domain just to secretly guard a junior, wasn’t that a colossal joke?

“Supreme Elder, you’re unaware; this child is extraordinary!”

“It’s very possible… he possesses the Saint Body Talent!”

“I’ve already sent an Honorary Supreme of the True Monarch Realm to the Northern Domain, but I fear it might not be secure enough.”

“This child must not suffer any harm!”

“If he really has the Saint Body Talent, our Sword Sect could completely overshadow the other three of the Four Great Sacred Lands within a thousand years, becoming the undisputed leader of the Holy Lands and blessing countless generations!”

Wu Hen Monarch, chastised, didn’t dare to show the slightest displeasure.

Instead, he hurriedly began to explain.

As soon as Elder Jian Chen relayed the news, and he had confirmed repeatedly that Jian Chen was not fabricating it,

he immediately arranged for an Honorary Supreme of the True Monarch Realm to head to the Northern Domain to secretly act as a guardian!

The Saint Body Talent, these four words, only existed in rumors, and in the history of the Central State, it had never appeared!

“Saint Body Talent?”

“I think you’ve truly gone mad.”

“Get lost, don’t disturb me.”

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words about the Northern Domain junior having the Saint Body Talent, the Supreme Elder became furious, wasn’t this making a fool out of him?

In his nearly ten thousand years of life, he had never seen a Saint Body Talent. Was it so simply because you said so?

As he spoke, his shadow kicked over through the air, Wu Hen Monarch didn’t put up the slightest resistance and was sent flying out of the bounds of the Immortal Mountain.

“…”

Wu Hen Monarch rubbed his chest, somewhat helplessly, but still climbed up the Immortal Mountain again.

“Supreme Elder, how could I dare to deceive you?”

“That junior, of Sixth Grade, slew a Ninth Grade without a scratch, an overwhelming victory!”

Hearing this, the Supreme Elder simply said, “So what? That has nothing to do with the Sacred Body. With a magical treasure, it’s not surprising.”

“He has also mastered five Innate Divine Abilities!”

Seeing a shadow cross through layers of restrictions and kick towards him again, Wu Hen Monarch had to quickly bow and speak once more.

The shadow dissipated immediately.

A figure suddenly appeared, right in front of him, their eyes meeting as the bystander frowned and asked, “Are you sure?”

“Certain!”

“The two Elders have seen it with their own eyes, there’s no falsehood.” Wu Hen Monarch sighed with relief, seeing that the Supreme Elder seemed to have understood.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The Supreme Elder couldn’t help but kick him again.

Although this time he didn’t use much force, just making Wu Hen Monarch take a couple of steps back, smiling bitterly as he bowed his hands.

He had always been speaking; it was the Supreme Elder who didn’t give the chance.

“Five Innate Divine Abilities, if he’s not of the Sacred Body… he must be a Demon Beast!”

“I shall see for myself whether he is a Demon Beast or possesses the Sacred Body…”

The Supreme Elder’s voice ended, and he vanished in front of Sage Wu Hen.

It was clear he had set off for the Northern Domain.

At his level of existence, there were few things left in this world that could pique his interest.

But the Saint Body Talent was indeed something he hadn’t seen before.

“Even if he were a Demon Beast, I’ve never heard of one with five Innate Divine Abilities…”

After his departure, as the voice of the Supreme Elder echoed, Wu Hen Monarch’s eyelids twitched and he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

An ordinary Demon Beast, possessing one Innate Divine Ability, was considered to have a decent bloodline heritage.

Breaking through to the True Realm, they might comprehend another Innate Divine Ability.

But that was it.

Even with more precious bloodlines like the Dragon Clan’s, they were born with two Innate Divine Abilities, and only at the breakthrough to the True Realm might they have a chance to understand a third.

But five? That’s unheard of!

Not to mention he was of the Human Clan?

If this wasn’t the Saint Body Talent, what else could it be!

“Finally, I can be completely at ease.”

Wu Hen Monarch straightened his Daoist robe, which had been marked by the kick to his chest.

He was used to the Supreme Elder.

This elder had even taught Wu Hen Monarch in the past; it’s just a shame he hadn’t looked favorably upon his talents, denying him the opportunity to become a disciple.

Compared to the other Supreme Elders, this one was already the most reasonable.

The others were mostly detached from world affairs, having closed their doors to death in an attempt to transcend to become a Human Immortal!

…

Even Wan Hua Valley, somehow, had obtained the news.

A group of Valley Masters gathered, each dressed comfortably—fortunately, there were no men present.

“This child might possess the Saint Body Talent; we were all mistaken before…”

“I never thought there truly existed a Sacred Body in this world.”

“I thought it was only a legendary qualification…”

“If we had known earlier, we couldn’t have let the Sword Sect have him so easily, to establish good relations, perhaps he would have joined Wan Hua Valley!”

The Sage Realm female cultivators chatted back and forth, some regretful, some curious.

“He should be on his way to join the Sword Sect soon.”

“In a few days, this monarch will send an invitation to the Sword Sect for a youth exchange between the two sects.”

“Do any of you have objections?”

The Master of Wan Hua Valley raised her hand, signaling for silence before speaking softly.

“Exchange?”

“But our Wan Hua Valley has always not…”

“Do you mean to suggest, have Mei’er meet and get to know that Saint Gu?”

Hearing her words, the people present were first stunned. Some instinctively raised objections, but halfway through, they understood her real intention.

Their faces lit up.

“With the Sword Sect taking in the Sacred Body, it’s probably a done deal that they will become the leader of the Four Great Sacred Lands.”

“But Wan Hua Valley can still catch this ride…”

“Within the Sacred Lands, being second isn’t so bad.”

The Master of Wan Hua Valley smiled slightly, her finger trailing over her fair leg.

“We have no objections.”

The many Valley Masters present then held their peace.

If he was indeed with the Saint Body Talent, if he could be united with Mei’er, that would be a marvelous thing!

Both for the Sword Sect and for Wan Hua Valley, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
