Capítulo 2445: Chapter 39: Innate Saintess Wang Licui! Meeting the Taoist Master

Hearing this, Wang Licui almost started drooling.

Along the way, she had seen many immortal beasts and divine birds…

Clearly, Hongzhen Taoist Master thought that the way Lici seemed to want to take everything home that she saw was definitely due to “the examples” Sea of Clouds set daily.

“Your Excellency!” Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds hurriedly spoke to intervene, “Lici and I share a deep master-disciple bond, please don’t separate us.”

Thinking about one of the purposes of this trip, he quickly changed the topic and winked at Wang Licui: “Lici, didn’t you obtain a treasure and want to ask the Sacred Supreme to appraise it?”

“Oh, right.” Wang Licui slapped her forehead, then took out the slab she obtained from Gui Ling Cave Ruins, “Taoist Master Grandpa, could you please take a look at what this is?”

Taoist Master Grandpa?

Hongzhen Taoist Master couldn’t help but chuckle.

With a simple gesture, he took the slab, examined it briefly, and said, “This is a fragment of an ancient Sacred Image. If you gather all the fragments, you might discover a path to the Sacred Supreme.”

As he spoke, Hongzhen Taoist Master returned the slab fragment to Wang Licui.

“Taoist Master Grandpa, my master said there’s a similar fragment in our Dao Palace’s treasury.” Under her master’s hint, Wang Licui blinked and asked, “If they match, could you give it to me?”

“Sea of Clouds!” Hongzhen Taoist Master glared at Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds disapprovingly, “It’s quite surprising you remember the contents of the Dao Palace’s treasury so well.”

“Ahem.” Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds coughed awkwardly and explained, “I just happened to catch a glimpse and remembered by chance.”

“…”

Hongzhen Taoist Master was speechless.

The treasures in the treasury are too numerous for even him to remember completely; he didn’t believe a casual glance could suffice.

But seeing the current situation, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with Sea of Clouds. He promptly sent someone with the Taoist Master’s Order to the treasury. After some searching, they indeed found a fragment that matched Lici’s piece perfectly.

“Since there’s such a connection, I’ll give this piece to Lici. This way, half of the Sacred Image is complete,” Hongzhen Taoist Master explained. “These ancient Sacred Images were mostly created by sages imitating fierce beasts’ cultivation, hunting, and battling. They’re less complex than modern Sacred Images, but incredibly powerful, and suit Lici’s bloodline well. You can meditate on the slab frequently in your usual cultivation, and sense the will of the human sages who established the Sacred Path.”

“In addition, I will also order someone to look through historical texts to seek the whereabouts of the other two pieces.”

“Thank you, Taoist Master Grandpa.” Wang Licui joyfully bowed in thanks.

“Go ahead, stay in the Dao Palace a bit longer. If you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me anytime,” Hongzhen Taoist Master, pleased to find such an outstanding child of the human race, couldn’t help but secretly feel that Sea of Clouds was quite lucky to have found such a gem.

A child like her is already somewhat qualified to compete for the position of Taozi. Even if she might not become a Taoist Master in the future, she can go very far on the path of the Sacred Supreme, surpassing typical Sacred Supremes by quite a margin.

“Hold on!” Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds suddenly interjected, “Your Excellency, our dear Lici is at least considered a top-tier talent at the Innate Sacred Body level. On your first meeting, aren’t you going to give her a little something special?”

The so-called Innate Sacred Body refers to a level of aptitude, equivalent to the bloodline talent of the Saint or Saintess level.

Take Wang Licui as an example, now in the Divine Power Territory, her bloodline has awakened to the tenth layer, qualifying her as Saintess material. Retrospectively, it equates to having awakened to the Sixth-tier Saint Body even during the Vital Energy Refining Realm, hence the talent being referred to as an Innate Sacred Body.

Spirit Platform Realm with seven-tier bloodline, Heavenly Human Realm with eight-tier bloodline, Purple Abode Realm with nine-tier bloodline, Divine Power Territory with ten-tier bloodline, and Void Realm with eleven-tier bloodline—all are referred to as Innate Sacred Body.

However, a true Innate Sacred Body from birth is extremely rare; most Saints and Saintesses enhance their aptitude postnatally.

But, if indeed an Innate Sacred Body emerged in the true sense, upon birth, the six-fold Bloodline Power in their body would resonate with the laws of heaven and earth, thereby naturally manifesting phenomena of heaven and earth trembling in unison and the universe resonating together.

Throughout history, such cases are exceedingly rare.

Unless a Taoist Master suffers a calamity and reincarnates, it’s almost impossible for nature alone to produce such a being.

Hongzhen Taoist Master, hearing this, glanced at Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds with a displeased expression: “The quarter of the Sacred Image just gifted doesn’t count as a gift?”

“Your Excellency, without Lici unearthing the Sacred Image fragment, the piece in the Dao Palace would just be garbage collecting dust for unknown years,” Sacred Supreme of Sea of Clouds argued confidently. “Moreover, that’s the Dao Palace’s asset. Surely, you can’t just use the Dao Palace’s assets to mentor the younger generation as your own grants?”

Hongzhen Taoist Master nearly slapped Sea of Clouds away.

Having lived over a hundred thousand years, he hadn’t encountered many as shameless as Sea of Clouds. It’s fortunate that this rascal didn’t frequent the Dao Palace; otherwise, no matter how good his demeanor was, he might not have resisted the urge to hit him.
