Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

143: The East Wood Temple, Bai Qiuyue, Bai LingyunThe Sect Leader of Changshou’s eyes gleamed with excitement; he had been too quick to judge! He had overlooked this crucial point!

After all, no one would have imagined that a Secret Martial Artist could possess power comparable to a fifth-tier Divine Warrior.

Let alone Yuan Province, even looking across Xia Kingdom, across the entire Seventeen Kingdoms of Shenzhou, and even including the demon tribes in the Heaven’s End Mountain Range, there might not be such a Prodigy!

If he were a True God, what would he fear about perishing together with the Master of Jinyu Pavilion?

Even if he died, the Longevity Sect and Yuan Province would still have someone to protect them!

”Good, good, good! I never expected to meet a Junior Brother in my twilight years; it’s truly a great fortune in this old man’s life!

Let’s go! First, to the Eastern Wood Shrine to learn the Eastern Wood Longevity Body. Although the Aptitude requirements are quite high, for Junior Brother’s Innate Dao Embryo, it’s nothing at all!”

With that, he pulled Qin Jiang out of the Tongtian Hall and headed straight for Dongmu Peak.

The stream of light landed on the grass. Qin Jiang looked at the Eastern Wood Shrine before him, a verdant palace crafted from unknown Materials, emitting a faint green glow.

”Greetings, Sect Master, greetings, Junior Martial Uncle.”

”Greetings, Sect Master, greetings, Martial Grand Uncle.”

The blue-clad woman and the blue-clad girl from before walked out to greet them. The eight-sided Vajra Indestructible Body hammer in the blue-clad girl’s hand was now gone.

”No need for formalities. There’s no need to introduce this one. Junior Brother, this is Bai Qiuyue, the Hall Master of the Eastern Wood Shrine. She primarily cultivates the Eastern Wood Longevity Body and also cultivates the Vajra Indestructible Body.

As for the one beside her, she is one of the Sect’s five Personal Disciples, Bai Lingyun, Hall Master Bai’s daughter. This little girl solely cultivates the Vajra Indestructible Body. Don’t be deceived by her appearance, haha,” the Sect Leader of Changshou laughed.

”Oh, Grandpa Mu! We just met, why are you exposing my secrets!” Bai Lingyun exclaimed, annoyed.

”Hehe, it’s bound to happen sooner or later, no harm, no harm,” the Sect Leader of Changshou chuckled.

Bai Lingyun pouted and looked at Qin Jiang, ”Little Martial Grand Uncle, since you’re new here, want to spar a bit?”

She was a bit eager to try. She had heard from that Yuan Anyi kid earlier that this one was an existence comparable to a fifth-tier Divine Warrior.

But, since it was said to be ’comparable,’ then his Realm certainly wasn’t, right?

With her current strength as a third-tier Divine Warrior, and with the eight-sided Vajra Indestructible Body hammer in hand, it was still uncertain who would win!

She really wanted to know what made this person so extraordinary!

”Lingyun, don’t be rude. If you dare to do so again, I’ll punish you to copy the ’Scripture of Tranquil Mind’ a hundred times,” Bai Qiuyue said.

Bai Lingyun immediately shut her mouth. She didn’t want to copy that stuff. A strong woman should play with hammers! Why copy scriptures!

Bai Qiuyue turned to look at Qin Jiang, ”Junior Martial Uncle, the child is ignorant, please forgive her. I presume you are here for the Eastern Wood Longevity Body? Please, come into the hall.”

The group entered the hall. It was similar to the Tongtian Hall, with simple furnishings. Apart from a few pillars, only a thick, black wooden staff was enshrined at the very top of the main hall.

”This is the Divine Artifact of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body, transformed from a section of the Sect Master’s Physical Body,” Bai Qiuyue explained.

Qin Jiang looked at the wooden staff with some surprise. It was pure black throughout, not like wood, but rather like a piece of black iron.

”Junior Brother, go ahead,” the Sect Leader of Changshou said.

Qin Jiang nodded, walked forward, and after reviewing the ”Eastern Wood Longevity Body,” he gently touched the wooden staff with his palm.

Immediately, a dense green light burst forth from the wooden staff, a colossal pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

Outside the hall, on the various peaks, numerous Disciples all looked towards Dongmu Peak.

”That’s... the Eastern Wood Divine Light! Someone is receiving the Divine Martial Legacy of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!”

”When did such a Prodigy appear in the Sect again? To have such high Aptitude to learn the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!”

”Do you think it could be our Martial Grand Uncle?”

”How is that possible? Don’t you know how demanding the requirements are for cultivating Divine Martial arts concurrently? Even more so for the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!”

”It doesn’t matter. We’ll find out who becomes the sixth Personal Disciple then, won’t we? I just wonder which one has been hiding so deeply.”

The discussions were incessant. Just as they were guessing which old geezer had received the Legacy of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body, the verdant pillar of light suddenly dissipated.

”Hmm? Why is it gone?”

”That’s not right. It should last at least half an hour! Could it be a failure?”

”Failure? Possible! Even if it didn’t fail, how much Divine Martial Divine Power could be absorbed in such a short time? It definitely can’t compare to Personal Disciple Jiang and Personal Disciple Ning!”

Inside the hall, Qin Jiang withdrew his hand. The immense Eastern Wood Divine Power within him made him feel a bit bloated, so he immediately sat down cross-legged to refine it.

Below, Bai Qiuyue looked blankly at the Divine Martial Divine Artifact. Its formerly lustrous sheen now appeared somewhat coarse.

”It’s nothing. Once Junior Brother finishes refining, I will replenish it,” the Sect Leader of Changshou waved his hand, his heart also filled with shock. He was very clear about how much Divine Martial Divine Power was in this source artifact.

For nearly a hundred years, knowing his end was near, he would periodically infuse his naturally overflowing Divine Power into this Divine Martial Divine Artifact.

Even if the amount each time wasn’t much, accumulated over time, it was enough for at least twenty people to undergo the Divine Martial Legacy.

And now, Qin Jiang had absorbed at least seventy percent! And in such a short amount of time!

It seems Junior Brother has a very high compatibility with the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!

Bai Qiuyue nodded slightly. In fact, she could also replenish the Divine Martial Divine Power within it, but her speed was far slower than the Sect Master’s.

”The Sect Master has a Wisdom Eye for talent. Junior Martial Uncle’s ability to absorb so much Eastern Wood Divine Power in such a short time is truly extraordinary.”

She still remembered that when she received the Eastern Wood Legacy back then, it took her nearly an hour to complete the Legacy.

And she only absorbed less than two portions of Eastern Wood Divine Power. Even so, her Master had praised her as a peerless Prodigy unseen in a hundred years.

But now, compared to this Junior Martial Uncle, the difference was more than just a little.

”Hehe, this is normal. With his Physique of an Innate Dao Embryo, plus it being his first time receiving a Divine Martial Legacy, his Physical Body will naturally absorb Divine Power like a sponge, greedily. It won’t be like this when he receives the Legacy of the Vajra Indestructible Body later,” the Sect Leader of Changshou stroked his beard and chuckled.

Bai Qiuyue nodded in agreement, realizing it was an Innate Dao Embryo, no wonder he was such a Prodigy. Then, the more she nodded, the more she felt something was off.

His first time receiving a Divine Martial Legacy?

She turned to look at the Sect Leader of Changshou. Bai Lingyun, beside her, also reacted, blinking at the Sect Leader of Changshou.

”What do you mean, ’first time receiving a Divine Martial Legacy’?” Bai Lingyun asked.

The Sect Leader of Changshou smiled, ”Naturally, it’s the literal meaning, exactly what you’re thinking.”

Bai Lingyun couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, ”He’s not a Divine Warrior?! Grandpa Mu, my brain is slow, don’t lie to me!”

”Hehe, he wasn’t just now, but he is now,” the Sect Leader of Changshou chuckled.

As his words fell, a dazzling green light suddenly burst forth from Qin Jiang’s body. Where the light shone, green grass sprouted from cracks, and even the old pillars that had been there for years grew new shoots.

Qin Jiang slowly opened his eyes, his pupils like two small, verdant suns.

A moment later, the green light gradually receded.
