Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

204: The Underworld, the Human Emperor, the Goddess of Yellow SkyQin Jiang smiled at the words, ”I’m saying, I’m already no weaker than a Late-Stage True Immortal at this moment.”

Ao Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his aura surged, gradually surpassing the Middle Stage True Immortal Realm, reaching half a step into the Late-Stage.

He was still climbing, until he reached a critical point.

One more step would be the Domain of the Late-Stage, but that one step, without three to five hundred years, he wouldn’t be able to cross it again.

”Does Senior wish to test me?” Qin Jiang asked with a smile.

”Not at all, I’ve been confined for tens of thousands of years, just loosening up my muscles and bones,” Ao Yun said with a laugh.

”Drink, drink! You brat really don’t know how to Cultivate! A True God comparable to a Late-Stage True Immortal, saying it sounds like a joke!

Throughout history, even in ancient records, there has never been a Prodigy like you!

Hmph—! Drink up, drink up! Today, I must get you drunk!”

A few days later, Dahei Mountain.

Qin Jiang looked at the tombstone in front of him; he had climbed out from here originally.

He stood silently for a moment, then slightly raised his hand, and a pure white, jade-like flower appeared in his hand, which he casually placed before the tomb.

In an instant, a faint white glow appeared around them, and white flowers emerged one after another, covering the entire area in a single breath.

He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. These dark clouds were extremely peculiar. Initially, he had only thought they were a strange phenomenon formed by the special terrain near Dahei Mountain.

But now, looking at them again, it was completely different.

The surging dark clouds were clearly a convergence of extremely heavy Yin Qi energy.

Due to its extreme density, it had formed a solid entity like dark clouds.

This energy was almost comparable to a Late-Stage True Immortal. If these dark clouds were to disperse, at least within a thousand li radius, not a blade of grass would grow, and no living thing would remain.

Unless it was an Immortal Rank expert, there would be no chance of escape.

However, what puzzled him was that these dark clouds seemed to have no intention of dissipating.

With a thought, his Divine Sense probed towards the dark clouds, but as soon as his Divine Sense left his body, he abruptly retracted it.

His gaze shifted to a distant hillside, where a thick fog had inexplicably spread through the forest, with figures appearing and disappearing within it.

After a moment, the fog spread further, and a Black-haired Monkey with hollow eyes, emaciated, and covered in black fur emerged from the thick fog, with wisps of fog still clinging to its fur.

This fog was by no means ordinary strange fog; it shared the same origin as those dark clouds!

This was the Black-haired Monkey he had encountered before, its hollow eyes leaving a deep impression on him.

After standing for a moment, Qin Jiang raised his hand, just as he was about to make a move, the Black-haired Monkey tilted its head.

There were no words, but Qin Jiang could feel the Black-haired Monkey’s intention, which was to invite him to a certain place.

He nodded slightly, and the thick fog behind the Black-haired Monkey rapidly spread, engulfing his figure.

Within the fog, a strange power blocked his Divine Sense perception.

However, breaking through this barrier was also simple: just smash the thick fog with the overlord cauldron.

But he didn’t do that. He wanted to know what secrets Dahei Mountain was hiding.

The Human Emperor back then had swung a sword here, piercing through the Sea Abyss’s blockade and leaving a passage between Shenzhou and Zhongyuan Continent.

Such strength was definitely that of an Immortal King.

He really wanted to know how strong an Immortal King truly was.

Moreover, if possible, he still hoped that Black Mountain City could remain safe and sound.

The thick fog moved very quickly. In a short time, according to his calculations, he had already traveled several thousand li.

Clearly, the inner area of Dahei Mountain was laid out with a spatial Law formation, containing a mustard seed within a Sumeru.

After traveling approximately tens of thousands of li, the surrounding thick fog suddenly dispersed, and they arrived at a small hill.

Looking out, an endless dark sky met the eye, a dim world, with black mountain ranges coiling like dormant Dragons, their vastness immeasurable.

A young man dressed in a profound black robe was brewing tea on the hill, a faint fragrance refreshing the heart, as if it could cleanse the Soul.

”A talent from a later generation, sit,” the young man chuckled.

Qin Jiang nodded. After sitting down, he looked at the teacup in front of him. The young man picked up the teapot and poured in the slightly green tea liquid.

It was merely a simple act of pouring tea, yet it exuded a feeling that did not exist between heaven and earth.

As if heaven and earth were merely passersby to him.

Yes, the almost eternal heaven and earth were just passersby in his eyes.

He almost didn’t need to think much; the person in front of him must be the legendary Human Emperor.

Currently, in Shenzhou, records about this Human Emperor were almost nonexistent. Otherwise, Dahei Mountain would not be located in a remote place like Black Mountain City; a fortress would surely be built to guard it.

”Heh heh, it must be the work of Yellow Sky Divine Mother, who even went so far as to erase Yu Country for this,” the young man chuckled.

Qin Jiang’s expression changed slightly, ”Does Senior read minds?”

”No need to call me Senior. You will surely become an Immortal King in the future. My surname is Jiang; you may call me Fellow Daoist.

As for mind-reading, it’s just a small trick. It’s not that I read your thoughts, but rather deduced the result through the fluctuations of your Divine Sense.

Now that you are vigilant and your Divine Sense fluctuations are restrained, I can no longer know what you are thinking,” Human Emperor Jiang said with a smile.

Qin Jiang breathed a slight sigh of relief, ”May I inquire about this method, Fellow Daoist?”

Human Emperor Jiang’s hand, pouring tea, paused slightly, and even the tea liquid hung suspended in mid-air.

He smiled, ”Of course. I didn’t expect you, who possess the Heart of an Overlord, to be so outspoken.”

Putting down the teacup, he raised his hand and conjured an Immortal light. Qin Jiang casually accepted it, and in just an instant, he understood the principle of this method.

In essence, it was that when a sentient being produced consciousness fluctuations, corresponding Soul fluctuations would arise, and this method deduced the form of consciousness fluctuations from the Soul fluctuations, thereby knowing what the other party was thinking.

”I still don’t know why Fellow Daoist invited me here?”

Qin Jiang picked up the teacup and took a light sip. A power that nourished the Divine Soul circulated within his body, and the strength of his Divine Soul rapidly grew, instantly exceeding the extreme range of Divine Soul strength.

Human Emperor Jiang smiled, stood up, and said, ”I invite you to witness me severing the Divine Mother’s Heavenly Heart.”

He looked into the distance, where black fog surged on the horizon, and a bronze divine light flickered within the black fog, releasing terrifying aura. Wherever it passed, even time was frozen.

”Yellow Sky Divine Mother is very strong. She has been immersed in the Immortal King Realm for millions of years. Even for me, only by burning my Immortal Soul can I be confident in severing her Heavenly Heart and making her fall into a temporary slumber.

But since Yu Country has already been destroyed, it must not be long until she awakens.”

Qin Jiang’s pupils changed slightly, ”This is Hell!”

”That’s right, this is the Huangshen Hell controlled by Yellow Sky Divine Mother. Here, she is almost invincible.”

Human Emperor Jiang spread his arms, and an peerless Immortal sword appeared above him, carrying terrifying temporal and spatial turbulence. Just a glance at it was enough to harm a True God!

”Behold my sword, named Calamity of Heaven and Earth.”

As his voice fell, a bronze light also rose in the distance. In the surging black fog, a bronze divine statue, tens of thousands of feet tall, appeared like an ancient giant stepping across time and space.

”Swish!”

The peerless Immortal sword instantly struck down, involving the application of temporal and spatial Laws. What seemed like an instant was actually countless clashes.

And the final result was Human Emperor Jiang severing with this peerless sword strike.

As the sword light trembled, the surrounding space-time became unstable, like a shattered mirror with misaligned fragments, and even Qin Jiang’s figure became blurry.

At a certain moment, a sense of weightlessness came, and the surroundings were filled with the rumbling sound of water.

The next moment, the sound of water disappeared, Qin Jiang’s figure solidified, and a bronze heart fell into his palm.
