Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

247: Tai Yin Xian JunThe voice of the figure in the silk skirt carried a hint of confusion.

A while ago, after Qin Jiang left Lingxuan Immortal City, she was no longer able to observe the traces of his fate.

She had originally thought the other party would go to the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty first to study the Immortal King Scripture before coming to the Exquisite Dao Land.

“I have been here all along; that Nematode was brought over by me,” Qin Jiang spoke up.

“You brought it!” Holy Master Yuanyang followed behind Immortal Lord Linglong.

She looked around, “Wait, why is the insect tide gone?”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, recounted the situation from just now, and shared his conjecture.

Immortal Lord Linglong fell into deep thought after hearing this. A moment later, she looked toward the sky, immortal light swirling in her eyes, and vaguely saw a corpse with dense, swarming skeletal insects.

Qin Jiang looked at Immortal Lord Linglong with some surprise; the power released from her eyes just now was extremely similar to that deathly vitality.

After observing for a moment, Immortal Lord Linglong withdrew her gaze. “So that’s how it is. Deathly vitality... no wonder I didn’t notice the existence of this corpse before.”

She looked at Qin Jiang, “Immortal Lord Qin, this special vitality doesn’t seem to be naturally born. Do you have that feeling?”

Qin Jiang was somewhat surprised to hear this. “You can feel it? Have you already condensed an Immortal King Body?”

As those words fell, it was Immortal Lord Linglong’s turn to be surprised. She hadn’t expected the secret she had hidden for so long to be exposed by a single sentence.

To the side, Holy Master Yuanyang was stunned. What was going on? How did one thing lead to another? How did an Immortal King Body get involved?

Who didn’t know how difficult it was to forge an Immortal King Body?

Even the few extreme Immortal Lords in history, not a single one had condensed an Immortal King Body.

“Immortal Lord Qin has a good eye. In that case, has Immortal Lord Qin also achieved an Immortal King Physique?”

Immortal Lord Linglong asked with a smile. An existence that had condensed an Immortal King Body, even if they hadn’t reached the Immortal Lord Realm themselves, carried an entirely different weight.

Holy Master Yuanyang froze upon hearing this, staring blankly at her Revered Master. She... she just admitted it? Revered Master really condensed an Immortal King Body?

And from the looks of it, it seemed this Immortal Lord Qin was the same?

Suddenly, she felt she was still too green. Every day, she couldn’t wait for others to know she was about to step into the Peak of the Saint Lord Level.

“I haven’t. My situation is rather special. However, although I currently have a Body of Law, it is not necessarily inferior to a so-called Immortal King Body,” Qin Jiang stated.

Admittedly, an Immortal King Body condensed by an Immortal Lord and the Immortal King Physique of an actual Immortal King were essentially no different.

However, the energy levels would differ by quite a lot.

Without undergoing the baptism of the Immortal King Tribulation, it cannot be compared to a true Immortal King Physique.

His situation was the opposite; in terms of the energy contained within his Immortal Body, it was already not weaker than a true Immortal King Physique.

But because he hadn’t achieved fleshly Rebirth, he was still a step behind an Immortal King Body in essence.

However, if compared to an Immortal Lord-level Immortal King Body, his massive total volume was enough to bridge the gap in essence.

To put it simply, the gap between his Immortal Body and an Immortal Lord-level Immortal King Body was a positive tenfold in total energy level and a negative tenfold in essence; the two exactly canceled each other out.

Immortal Lord Linglong naturally understood this point as well.

“I see. Immortal Lord Qin truly has extraordinary talent.”

Although the gap between the two didn’t seem large now, Qin Jiang would eventually achieve fleshly Rebirth one day in the future.

When that time came, the gap between the two would increase several-fold or even dozens of times over.

However, she did not feel dejected by this; instead, she was very happy.

She finally saw the possibility of someone below the Immortal King level striking down an Immortal King, even if that person wasn’t her.

Beside them, Holy Master Yuanyang felt completely lost listening to their conversation. When she first embarked on the path of cultivation, most of her energy was spent suppressing the restless Yang Qi in her body.

Therefore, her development in other areas was slightly inferior. Especially in the Late Stage after suppressing her Yang Qi, her long-standing habits told her that the so-called Profound Truth of combat was simply using one’s superior power to defeat the opponent.

This was also one of the reasons restricting her cultivation. Over the years, although she had been trying hard to change this, the results were not as good as she expected.

She even had a bad premonition that her intelligence had slipped to the same level as Holy Master Yuegui.

“Dao Master is too kind. To be able to open up the Exquisite Dao Land from a mortal body and even become the number one person in the current world is the true legend,” Qin Jiang smiled.

“The Immortal Lord is too polite. I have yet to ask how the Immortal Lord thinks this deathly vitality was born,” Immortal Lord Linglong said.

Since Qin Jiang could think of bringing the Nematode Creatures from the Black Tortoise River Bottom here, he likely had very deep research in this area.

Knowledge in this regard might also be helpful for her to cross the Immortal King Tribulation.

Qin Jiang shook his head. “I don’t know. I can only vaguely feel it was tainted by some kind of external power, but its source cannot be traced, as if it was wiped away by some power in heaven and earth.”

Immortal Lord Linglong nodded slightly. Although she didn’t get the answer she wanted, it wasn’t a total lack of gain.

At least she knew that there existed a power in this world capable of polluting an Immortal King’s corpse.

“So that’s how it is. Immortal Lord, why not come to the Dao Land for a chat? I have heard that the Immortal Lord enjoys collecting antiques and old items, and I have prepared some in the Dao Land for the Immortal Lord to view.”

She had taken the initiative to invite Qin Jiang to be a guest at the Exquisite Dao Land. Now that Qin Jiang had set aside the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and arrived at the Exquisite Dao Land first, she naturally had to show some hospitality.

“Then I thank the Dao Master.”

After Qin Jiang and Immortal Lord Linglong left, Holy Master Yuanyang and Holy Master Yuegui remained stationed here.

Not long after, a streak of icy blue appeared in the northern horizon, spreading rapidly toward them.

Arriving along with it was a snowstorm that could be called a tempest, freezing everything within ten thousand miles around the vortex passage.

A tall figure appeared in mid-air, dressed in an icy blue skirt, releasing an immeasurable cold aura.

Holy Master Yuegui held up a wine flask and waved her hand. “You only just got here? Everyone’s already gone.”

As soon as she spoke, Holy Master Yuanyang sensed something was wrong and hurriedly retreated hundreds of meters.

Holy Master Yuegui was startled and looked back. “Eh? Why are you so far away from me—”

Before she could finish, an extremely freezing breeze blew past the back of her neck, causing her somewhat dazed eyes to snap awake instantly.

“Ah, Dao Master! Wh-why are you here? This little one... this little one was just about to go pick you up!”

Holy Master Yuegui swallowed hard and began to laugh somewhat subserviently.

“What did you call me?” Immortal Lord Taiyin leaned down slightly, bringing her ear close to Holy Master Yuegui’s; the cold air made the fine hairs on her ear stand up.

“Lo-Lord! I... I was wrong! Please don’t make me go grind medicine again!”

Holy Master Yuegui had a mournful Face. Every time she did something wrong, her Lord would lock her in a small dark room to grind medicine, and it would last for a hundred years.

A hundred years! That was a full hundred years!

She was already a Holy Revered Master, yet her Lord didn’t consider her Face at all!

Immortal Lord Taiyin gave a light huff, rubbed Holy Master Yuegui’s hair vigorously, and looked resentfully toward the direction of the Exquisite Dao Land in the east.

“One step too late! That fellow Linglong snatched him away again!”

If she hadn’t been busy refining the nine luminaries star nucleus, she would have arrived long ago!

“I’m leaving. If you dare speak to me like that again next time, I’ll lock you up for five hundred years!”
