Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 3860: Unknown Physique

The assessment had revealed far too many strange things about Little Bull. His body possessed an absurd amount of vitality, enough to overload the vitality testing formation and break a record that had stood for an unknown number of years.

His skin and flesh were tough enough that even Spirit Weapons struggled to draw blood from him, while his raw strength allowed him to kill an Immortal realm beast and even a First Tribulation Stage Immortal beast within the illusory combat array.

All of this came from a mortal.

Little Bull had no cultivation base. He had never formally practiced a cultivation technique before arriving at the sect.

At least, that was what everyone believed.

High Elder Shatter Peak had spent considerable time trying to identify the physique responsible for such abnormalities. Contrary to what several Elders probably believed, he had not spent the past two days wandering around aimlessly or picking fights with random people.

He had actually been working.

Of course, his method of working was somewhat different from ordinary Elders. High Elder Shatter Peak had first gone through several records related to body cultivation physiques.

He had visited the Body Cultivation Division’s archives, questioned three old Elders who specialized in bloodlines, and even dragged an Elder from the Beast Bloodline Division out of secluded cultivation after remembering that certain beast bloodlines could manifest as abnormal human physiques.

None of them had found an answer.

High Elder Shatter Peak had compared Little Bull’s traits to dozens of known physiques. The Ancient Mountain Body possessed immense toughness from birth, though those who possessed it were usually slow and heavy.

Little Bull was neither.

The Heaven Carrying Ox Physique granted monstrous strength, though its vitality was relatively ordinary until the cultivator reached higher realms. Little Bull’s vitality had broken an assessment record while he was still a mortal.

The Hundred Flesh Furnace Physique possessed powerful recovery and resistance to heat, while the Immortal Iron Body made one’s skin naturally tough. Neither explained Little Bull’s ridiculous physical power.

High Elder Shatter Peak had even considered several ancient bloodlines but nothing matched. After exhausting the records available to him, he had finally made a decision, he went to the Core Court.

That was where Peak Head Mountain Roar had been.

As the leader of the Wild Peak, Peak Head Mountain Roar was the greatest expert of their peak. He was also possibly the strongest and most experienced body cultivator within the entire Heavenly Stream Guardian Sect.

The old man had lived for an immense period of time. He had seen countless physiques. He had encountered ancient bloodlines. He had studied body cultivation techniques from worlds that had long since fallen into ruin.

Even if Peak Head Mountain Roar could not identify Little Bull’s physique, High Elder Shatter Peak believed he would at least understand how the young man should be trained.

Peak Head Mountain Roar stroked his long beard as the hall became quiet. Little Bull stared at him curiously.

Lin Mu, however, was considerably more alert internally.

He had originally believed that High Elder Shatter Peak had gone to the Core Court for some random matter. Learning that the man had actually gone there specifically to bring Peak Head Mountain Roar back made Lin Mu realize that the High Elder was considerably more responsible than he appeared.

’He actually spent all that time investigating my physique.’ Lin Mu thought.

This was slightly troublesome as Peak Head Mountain Roar had already examined his body.Lin Mu had used the Absolute Body Control Art to carefully maintain the physical state he had created.

The Abyssal Horizon Veil Seal continued hiding his cultivation base, while the adjustments within his body made it appear as though he had recently started practicing a basic body tempering technique.

Still, the person examining him was a Transcendent level body cultivator.

Lin Mu waited for the answer.

Finally, Peak Head Mountain Roar shook his head. ”I don’t know.”

High Elder Shatter Peak blinked. ”You don’t know?”

”No.”

High Elder Palm Saber frowned. ”Even you can’t recognize it?”

Peak Head Mountain Roar looked at Little Bull again.

”I have seen physiques with similar characteristics.” The old man replied. ”Some top tier physiques possess the same degree of natural toughness. Others possess comparable vitality. There are even a few ancient physiques that grant great physical strength before cultivation begins.”

The two High Elders listened carefully.

”But none of them match him completely.” Peak Head Mountain Roar continued.

High Elder Shatter Peak crossed his arms. ”Could it be a mutated physique?”

”Possible.” Peak Head Mountain Roar replied. ”It could also be a forgotten physique. There are countless inheritances that have vanished over the ages. Entire worlds have been destroyed. Sects older than our Heavenly Stream Guardian Sect have disappeared without leaving a single complete record behind.”

High Elder Palm Saber nodded slowly as that was certainly true.

The Immortal Realm was ancient beyond comprehension. Countless civilizations had risen and fallen throughout history. Even the Immortal Court could not claim to possess complete records of everything that had ever existed.

Peak Head Mountain Roar continued stroking his beard. ”There is another possibility.”

”What?” High Elder Shatter Peak asked.

”It could be unique.”

The hall fell silent.

High Elder Palm Saber raised his brows. ”A naturally born unique physique?”

”Perhaps.” Peak Head Mountain Roar replied. ”Physiques had to originate somewhere. The first person to possess the Ancient Mountain Body did not receive it from a predecessor. The first Heaven Carrying Ox Physique appeared naturally. Some physiques are born through bloodline changes, environmental influences, unusual conception conditions, or countless other circumstances.”

Peak Head Mountain Roar looked at Little Bull. ”This child’s parents are unknown.”

High Elder Shatter Peak nodded. ”He was abandoned at a village.”

”Then we cannot determine his ancestry.” Peak Head Mountain Roar stated. ”His physique might have come from his parents. It might have awakened naturally. Perhaps some strange event occurred before his birth.”

Little Bull scratched his head. ”I don’t remember.”

The three Elders looked at him.

”I know, child.” Peak Head Mountain Roar said.
