Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

189: ”Taiyi Yuanzhen Changsheng Sutra”, Qizhou War DangerTu Shan Yueer’s expression subtly changed upon hearing this. ”Then do I have a chance to completely seize control of the Love Fate Giant Tree?”

Qin Jiang was not surprised by her question. ”The Love Fate Giant Tree, in a sense, can be seen as a living Immortal Artifact. Theoretically, there’s a chance to completely refine it.”

”No!” Tu Shan Suer exclaimed, her silver eyes sharp.

After centuries of wandering, she finally had a chance for reunion. How could she destroy it with her own hands?

”Big Sister!”

Tu Shan Yueer looked at Tu Shan Suer. ”You are about to enter dormancy; Qingqiu cannot be without True Immortal Rank power to protect it! I believe that in a hundred years, Big Sister, you will definitely achieve the True Immortal Realm! By then, you can come back and rescue me!”

”Theoretically, that’s possible, but in reality, perhaps only if your Big Sister becomes a Late-Stage True Immortal would there be a chance,” Qin Jiang interjected at the right moment.

Tu Shan Yueer’s expression subtly changed. ”Then there’s still a possibility. I believe in Big Sister.”

Qin Jiang shook his head, pulled Xu Yanran closer, and casually tore open space. ”You all decide for yourselves.”

After leaving the Love Fate Giant Tree, not much time had passed, and many Great Demons and Demon Kings had already emerged from the Immortal Realm.

Upon seeing Qin Jiang, the Demon Kings all bowed. Qin Jiang nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Yanran. ”See which one you’d like to eat; I’ll roast it later.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but all the Demon Kings, including the Great Demons, heard it clearly, swallowing nervously, yet not daring to make the slightest move.

If they accidentally caught the eye of this Devil Head’s wife by moving around, they would truly be digging their own graves.

”Husband, Yanran isn’t hungry yet.” Xu Yanran smiled, knowing that her husband didn’t actually intend to roast any Demon King, but merely felt there were too many demons, making him uncomfortable.

Qin Jiang nodded with a hint of regret. ”Indeed, you need nourishment now. It’s a pity no Demon God Rank ones came this time.”

After speaking, he looked at the demons. ”There’s no need to be so polite with me; I’ll feel guilty killing you. Since Yanran isn’t hungry yet, you may all return.”

”By King Qin’s command, we shall take our leave.”

The Demon Kings fled as if for their lives, some not even bothering to return to their dwellings to gather their things, heading directly for the valley exit.

Tu Shan Weier approached, looking somewhat nervous. ”King Qin, my Big Sister...”

She didn’t dare to ask too much, as she knew failure was a possibility.

”Your Big Sister is fine now. As for your Third Sister, it’s still uncertain,” Qin Jiang said.

”Third Sister? What does King Qin mean? Did my Third Sister do something?” Tu Shan Weier asked.

Third Sister was deep within the Love Affinity Immortal Realm; King Qin shouldn’t have encountered her, right?

”Oh, and one more thing: your Immortal Ancestor is dead,” Qin Jiang said.

Tu Shan Weier froze upon hearing this, her eyes filled with confusion and blankness.

The Immortal Ancestor is dead? If he’s dead, he’s dead.

No, no, how could the Immortal Ancestor be dead?! Then Third Sister, she...

Just as she was lost in thought, Tu Shan Suer emerged, carrying Tu Shan Yueer.

At this moment, Tu Shan Yueer’s green hair had mostly returned to white, though it still faintly shimmered with a greenish hue.

”Yue’er! Big Sister! What exactly happened?” Tu Shan Weier hurried forward to take Tu Shan Yueer.

”The Immortal Ancestor is dead, and the Love Fate Giant Tree is also withering,” Tu Shan Suer said.

She looked back at the Love Fate Giant Tree; its once verdant leaves were visibly turning yellow, drying up, and falling.

After a few breaths, a black aura of decay emanated from the trunk of the Love Fate Giant Tree. She raised her hand and conjured a silver light, confining the decaying Qi within it.

A moment later, the Love Fate Giant Tree trembled slightly, then exploded with a boom. A violent burst of black Qi erupted, instantly breaking through the silver light barrier.

Qin Jiang subtly raised his hand, and a dark light enveloped and compressed the black Qi, ultimately transforming it into a black jade bead, within which smoke seemed to swirl.

The dark light shone, reinforcing hundreds of Seals before it was safely stored away.

The power contained within the Love Fate Giant Tree was no less than that of a Middle Stage True Immortal. The Death Qi it transformed into after its demise would be unbearable even for an Initial Stage True Immortal.

After completing all this, he looked at Li Baiyun. ”Physician, will you stay in Qingqiu, or return to Great Xia?”

Li Baiyun pondered for a moment. ”I won’t go back for now. If I have time in the future, I’ll return then.”

There was nothing left in Black Mountain City worth lingering over, and after regaining memories from several lifetimes, he also needed to properly digest them.

He was already somewhat confused about who he truly was.

”Oh, and please look after my two apprentices,” he said.

”Alright.”

After Qin Jiang and Xu Yanran departed, Tu Shan Yueer slowly awoke, her eyes still a bit hazy.

Then she felt that some kind of restraint on her body seemed to have vanished.

”You’re awake?” A joyful voice sounded beside her; Tu Shan Jiuer was squatting next to her.

”The Love Fate Giant Tree is gone,” Tu Shan Jiuer said.

”Big Sister? No, you’re Jiuer.” Tu Shan Yueer got up and looked at where the Love Fate Giant Tree had been; it was now empty.

Her head was still a bit muddled, but she guessed what had happened, and her eyes couldn’t help but dim.

Looking at Tu Shan Weier nearby, she said with a bitter smile, ”Second Sister, for now, we’ll have to rely on ourselves.”

Tu Shan Weier smiled upon hearing this. ”It’s alright, as long as you’re back.”

Half a month later, Yuanzhou Prefecture City.

Qin Jiang’s figure landed on the city wall. In the distance, the rumbling sound of the Canglang River could be heard.

Unbeknownst to him, the end of the year was approaching, and boats of all sizes were fishing on the Canglang River.

He looked at his panel:

【Current Martial arts】

King Ming’s Heaven-Shaking Staff (Perfection) [93%]

Overlord Subduing Cauldron Art (Perfection) [98%]

Demon Ancestor Sweeping Heaven Record (Perfection) [98%]

Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (Perfection) [94%]

Vajra Indestructible Body (Perfection) [93%]

Azure Emperor Longevity Record (Perfection) [94%]

High Grade Flying Immortal Art (Perfection) [91%]

【Potential Points: 3056.4】

In the past half month, he had traveled to various places, collected some potential points, and learned two Divine Martial arts.

Among them, King Ming’s Heaven-Shaking Staff was a Divine Martial art left behind by King Ming, one of the four founding Divine Generals, which no one had ever mastered until he learned it.

What was rare was that its compatibility was also very high, reaching 93%, which caused the trait Fusion deduction to change from the original four arts to five, leading to the death probability soaring to 36%.

However, fortunately, he found three more Divine-Grade health preservation techniques, and after deducing and fusing them, they evolved into the High Grade Flying Immortal Art, which brought the death probability back down to 27%.

Indeed, if he hadn’t learned new Divine Martial arts but instead deduced the Overlord Subduing Cauldron Art, he would have already entered the True Immortal Realm by now.

But that wasn’t what he wanted.

On the land of Shenzhou, there were many Initial Stage True Immortals, but Middle Stage True Immortals were already uncommon. Among the seventeen countries, apart from Huai Country, only three other countries had Immortal Ancestors who were Middle Stage True Immortals.

As for Late-Stage True Immortals, the First Ancestor of the Xia Emperor back then was one, the Dragon Ancestor and the Dragon Emperor of his era were two, and it was said that a peerless Demon Emperor once appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains, suspected to have achieved the Late-Stage True Immortal Realm.

Apart from these four, there were no other Late-Stage True Immortals.

And he wanted to become the fifth, or even become the elusive Immortal King.

To achieve such a feat, relying solely on the Overlord Subduing Cauldron Art was absolutely not enough.

What he wanted to do was to surpass all ancient figures in every Realm, only then could he pave the way to the Immortal King Dao.

Standing still for a moment, he slightly closed his eyes.

’Potential, Fusion deduction, Azure Emperor Longevity Record, High Grade Flying Immortal Art.’

【Deducing... Deduction complete.】

【Taiyi Yuanzhen Longevity Sutra (First Layer) (1000/50000) [95%]】

【Potential Points: 2256.4】

In an instant, the world changed color; the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, and stars dotted the sky.

Roar—!

Vaguely, it was as if nine lions roared through the star sea, displaying their might in eight directions.

However, in just a blink of an eye, all the anomalies disappeared, as if they had never happened.

Qin Jiang opened his eyes, calm and composed, and looked at the panel; the death probability had already dropped to 21%.

”King Qin! King Qin! Qi Province battle report! Marshal Ye is ambushed!”

”King Huai and the Great Savage King of Rong Country jointly set a trap; Marshal Ye is trapped! Please, King Qin, go to his rescue!”

I made a mistake with the scheduled time last night; I’ll make it up this afternoon.
