Chapter 17 Emperor-Level Sword Art! Chu Tian Strikes! The Source of the Sacred Body!
Even that Reincarnation Emperor Sutra—he didn’t think it was a big deal. As he opened it, it was just as Shi Hao had expected. This Taiqing Profound Sword Art was created by an ancient imperial descendant of the Taiyi lineage—an emperor-level sword technique!
Such a technique was nearly impossible to find across the entire Yanhuang Realm. Yet his master had casually handed it over, even insisting that it was nothing special.
At that moment, Xiao Yushuang walked over. Seeing Shi Hao had awakened, she curiously leaned forward and smiled as she spoke.
“Hi there, I’m Xiao Yushuang.”
Her smile was sweet, and she had a face that reminded people of their first love. Her high ponytail gave off a refreshing and approachable vibe. Faced with this sudden greeting from a beautiful girl, Shi Hao also smiled slightly and responded:
“My name is Shi Hao, a disciple of the Palace of Freedom.”
After speaking, he tucked the Taiqing Profound Sword Art into his sleeve. Since it was given by his master, he would never display it in front of outsiders without permission. An emperor-level sword art could stir up a storm no matter where it appeared. He didn’t want to cause any trouble for his master.
Chu Tian smiled slightly.
“Yushuang is the youngest core disciple of Wangyue Peak—her talent is extraordinary.”
“Yesterday, the head of Wangyue Palace personally sent her here to the Palace of Freedom for further cultivation. I hope you two get along well.”
Shi Hao quickly nodded.
“I understand, Master.”
Chu Tian nodded, then turned to Xiao Yushuang. After a moment of thought, he asked, “Yushuang, is it true that you can see as clearly in the dark as in broad daylight?”
“How did you know, Palace Master? Only my master knows about that!”
Xiao Yushuang had been about to continue chatting with Shi Hao, but upon hearing this, she was startled and turned to look at Chu Tian.
“I’ve trained in eye techniques. I once discussed it with your master,” Chu Tian explained.
Xiao Yushuang suddenly tugged her clothes tighter and asked, “Palace Master, why did you “Do you want to know why you’re different from everyone else?”
Of course, Xiao Yushuang wanted to know. To her, every night was as bright as day in what should have been a pitch-black world. Only the moon in the sky reminded her that it was actually nighttime.
Before entering the world of cultivation, this had troubled her for a long time. Because ordinary people need sleep. If the surroundings were always as bright as day, sleep would be severely affected. Over time, her body grew increasingly weak. Eventually, she decided to embark on the path of immortality.
After enduring countless hardships, she arrived at the Sacred Demon Mountain to attend the grand ceremony for recruiting disciples. She successfully became a disciple under the Moonwatching Palace Master.
After becoming a cultivator, although the problem wasn’t solved, her dependence on sleep decreased. She could substitute sleep with cultivation to ease the burden.
Xiao Yushuang had once discussed this strange phenomenon with the Moonwatching Palace Master. However, even her master couldn’t find the reason. Gradually, Xiao Yushuang had forgotten about it.
It wasn’t until Chu Tian brought it up that she suddenly remembered it had once been a concern.
“Of course I want to know. But… my master didn’t understand it either,” Xiao Yushuang said.
“The Lingxu Immortal Physique,” Chu Tian said with a smile. “Ever heard of it?”
“Lingxu Immortal Physique?”
Xiao Yushuang shook her head. She had never heard of it before.
Shi Hao asked, “Master, is the Lingxu Immortal Physique also a special constitution?”
“Like mine? But why have I never heard of it?”
“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it,” Chu Tian replied.
The Lingxu Immortal Physique had only ever appeared once. In a distant imperial dynasty… in the imperial palace, the very first Holy Lord—Eternal Night Emperor. His physique was the Lingxu Immortal Physique!
Of course, the Eternal Night Emperor’s Lingxu Immortal Physique was flawless and perfect. But Xiao Yushuang’s was an extremely incomplete version.
This was a secret, only passed down in whispers. Chu Tian also learned about it by chance, so it was quite normal that the Moon Viewing Palace master was unaware.
Originally, Chu Tian thought it was just a legend.
After all, a million years had passed, and the truth about the Eternal Night Sovereign’s deeds was hard to verify.
Perhaps only the royal family themselves knew the truth. But they rarely showed themselves. Even the supreme sacred grounds feared them! Because they were the true Night Walkers!
Legend said they even assassinated ancient emperor-level strong figures. Though no one believed it, it caused countless people to be filled with fear!
Chu Tian roughly explained, saying, “Yushuang, although your physique is strong, it is incomplete. The source is not whole, so it’s difficult to fully unleash the power of the Lingxu Immortal Body.”
Then he shifted tone.
“However, in Guluozhou, even an incomplete Lingxu Immortal Body is enough.”
Xiao Yushuang became a bit excited, her face flushed red.
“Then how can I activate the Lingxu Immortal Body?”
Even though it was far from the Eternal Night Sovereign’s Lingxu Immortal Body, she still felt very thrilled. A special physique was the dream of all cultivators.
It could greatly enhance combat power, clarify the future cultivation path, and make cultivation easier.
“It’s simple, just activate it.”
“How to activate it?”
Xiao Yushuang looked at Chu Tian full of expectation. Her master often said her junior nephew, the Free Palace master, was the most mysterious in the Holy Demon Mountain.
He possessed countless rare treasures, a unique vision, exceptional talent, and unfathomable cultivation. Now seeing him, her master’s modesty was evident.
He could tell at a glance she had a special physique. And could describe it accurately — such insight was rare in the world!
Chu Tian said, “Stand still, it’ll be done soon.”
He flicked his finger, sending a beam of light to strike Xiao Yushuang’s navel.
Xiao Yushuang groaned softly, her brows furrowed slightly, showing some pain. But she understood Chu Tian was helping her, so she could not resist. Soon, Shi Hao beside them noticed Xiao Yushuang seemed to have gained something. That was the same as what he had.
Existing in the abdomen, profound and unfathomable, it was a manifestation of a kind of law. He possessed the source of the Holy Body. While Xiao Yushuang had the source of the Lingxu Immortal Body, though very incomplete, only a tiny bit.
Xiao Yushuang’s whole being seemed to be covered with a unique aura. Though standing there, if one wasn’t paying close attention, it was almost impossible to notice her presence!
And this was during the daytime, if it were night, she probably could completely blend into the darkness.
