Chapter 143

The Longevity Sect Master's eyes were excited; he had been biased! He had overlooked this point!

After all, no one would have thought that a Secret Martial Artist could actually possess power comparable to a Fifth-tier Divine Martial Artist.

Let alone Yuan Prefecture, even looking at the Great Xia, looking at the entire seventeen kingdoms of Shenzhou, even adding the demon clans in the Tianduan Mountains, there might not be such a monster! If a True God were like this, what would he be afraid of regarding perishing together with the Golden Jade Pavilion Master?

Even if he died, the Longevity Sect and Yuan Prefecture would still have someone capable of protecting them!

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect to meet a junior brother in my final years; this is truly a great blessing for me, Shusheng!

Let's go! First, go to the Eastern Wood Divine Hall to learn the Eastern Wood Longevity Body. Although the qualification requirements are relatively high, it is nothing for junior brother's Innate Dao Body!"

After saying that, he pulled Qin Jiang out of Tongtian Hall and headed straight for Dongmu Feng.

The stream of light landed on the grass. Qin Jiang looked at the Eastern Wood Divine Hall in front of him; it was a verdant palace built of unknown materials, emitting a faint, pale green glow.

"Pay respects to the Sect Master, pay respects to the Uncle-Master."

"Pay respects to the Sect Master, pay respects to the Grand-Uncle-Master."

The woman in green and the young girl in green from earlier walked out to welcome them. At this time, the eight-sided Vajra hammer in the green-robed girl's hand was gone.

"No need for formalities; there is no need to introduce this person. Junior brother, this is the Hall Master of the Eastern Wood Divine Hall, Bai Qiuyue, who specializes in the Eastern Wood Longevity Body and also cultivates the Vajra Indestructible Body.

As for this one beside her, she is one of the sect's five great personal disciples, Hall Master Bai's daughter, Bai Lingyun. This little girl cultivates only the Vajra Indestructible Body; don't be deceived by her appearance, hehe," the Longevity Sect Master smiled.

"Oh, Grandpa Wood! We just met, why are you exposing my secrets!" Bai Lingyun shouted unhappily.

"Hehe, it's a matter of time, it's fine, it's fine," the Longevity Sect Master smiled.

Bai Lingyun curled her lips and looked at Qin Jiang. "Little Grand-Uncle-Master, since you're new here, do you want to spar?"

She was eager to try; she had heard from Yuan Anyi earlier that this person was an existence comparable to a Fifth-tier Divine Martial Artist.

But, since it was said to be comparable, the realm certainly wasn't, right? With her current strength as a Third-tier Divine Martial Artist, plus having the eight-sided Vajra hammer in hand, it wasn't certain who would win!

She really wanted to know what was so extraordinary about this person! "Lingyun, do not be rude. If you dare to do this again, I will punish you by copying the Qingjing Heart Sutra one hundred times," Bai Qiuyue said.

Bai Lingyun immediately shut her mouth; she didn't want to copy that stuff. A strong woman should play with hammers! Why copy the Heart Sutra!

Bai Qiuyue turned to look at Qin Jiang. "Uncle-Master, the child is ignorant, I hope you will forgive her. I assume you came here for the Eastern Wood Longevity Body? Please enter the hall."

Several people entered the hall; it was similar to Tongtian Hall, with very simple furnishings. Apart from a few beams and pillars, there was only a thick, black wooden stick enshrined at the very top of the hall.

"This is the Divine Martial Artifact of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body; it is transformed from a section of the Sect Master's body," Bai Qiuyue explained.

Qin Jiang looked at the wooden stick with some surprise; it was pure black throughout, not like wood, but more like a piece of black iron.

"Junior brother, go ahead," the Longevity Sect Master said.

Qin Jiang nodded, walked forward, and after flipping through the "Eastern Wood Longevity Body," he touched the wooden stick gently with his palm.

Immediately, a rich green light was released from the wooden stick, and a huge pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

Outside the hall, on the various major peaks, numerous disciples looked toward Dongmu Feng.

"That is... Eastern Wood Divine Light! Someone is receiving the Divine Martial inheritance of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!"

"When did such a genius appear in the sect again? To actually have such high qualifications to learn the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!"

"Do you think it could be our Grand-Uncle-Master?"

"How is that possible? Don't you know how harsh the requirements for cultivating multiple Divine Martial Arts are? Let alone the Eastern Wood Longevity Body!" "It doesn't matter; we'll see who becomes the sixth personal disciple soon enough. It's just that I don't know who has hidden themselves so deeply."

The discussion continued. Just as they were guessing which old man had received the inheritance of the Eastern Wood Longevity Body, the green pillar of light suddenly dissipated.

"Huh? Why is it gone?"

"That's not right! It should take at least half an hour! Could it be that he failed?"

"Failed? It's possible! Even if he didn't fail, how much Divine Martial power could he absorb in such a short time? It definitely can't compare to Personal Disciple Jiang and Personal Disciple Ning!"

Inside the hall, Qin Jiang withdrew his hand. The massive Eastern Wood Divine Power in his body made him feel a bit overwhelmed, so he sat cross-legged to refine it.

Below, Bai Qiuyue looked at the Divine Martial Artifact blankly; its original oily luster appeared somewhat rough.

"It's fine, after junior brother finishes refining, I will replenish it."

The Longevity Sect Master waved his hand, his heart also inevitably shocked; he knew very well how much Divine Martial power was in this Source Artifact.

Over the past hundred years, knowing that his time was running out, he would occasionally pour the Divine Power that naturally overflowed from himself into this Divine Martial Artifact.

Even if the amount each time wasn't much, over time, it was enough for at least twenty people to undergo Divine Martial inheritance.

And now, Qin Jiang had absorbed at least seventy percent! And in such a short time!

It seems that junior brother's compatibility with the Eastern Wood Longevity Body is very high!

Bai Qiuyue nodded slightly; in fact, she could also replenish the Divine Martial power in it, but the speed was much slower than the Sect Master's.

"The Sect Master has a discerning eye for talent; for Uncle-Master to absorb so much Eastern Wood Divine Power in such a short time is truly extraordinary."

She still remembered that when she received the Eastern Wood inheritance back then, it took her nearly an hour to complete the inheritance.

And she had only absorbed less than two portions of Eastern Wood Divine Power; even so, she was hailed by her master as a peerless genius not seen in a hundred years.

But now, compared to this Uncle-Master, the difference was more than just a little bit.

"Hehe, this is normal. With his Innate Dao Body constitution, and since it is his first time receiving a Divine Martial inheritance, his physical body will naturally absorb Divine Power greedily like a sponge. It won't be like this when he receives the inheritance of the Vajra Indestructible Body later."

The Longevity Sect Master stroked his beard and smiled.

Bai Qiuyue nodded in agreement. So it was an Innate Dao Body; no wonder he was such a monster. Then, the more she nodded, the more she felt something was wrong.

First time receiving a Divine Martial inheritance? She turned to look at the Longevity Sect Master, and Bai Lingyun beside her also reacted, blinking her eyes as she looked at the Longevity Sect Master.

"What do you mean by 'first time receiving a Divine Martial inheritance'?" Bai Lingyun asked.

The Longevity Sect Master smiled. "Naturally, it means exactly what it says; it is what you think it means."

Bai Lingyun couldn't help but open her mouth wide. "He is not a Divine Martial Artist?! Grandpa Wood, I am slow-witted, don't lie to me!"

"Hehe, he wasn't just now, but he is now," the Longevity Sect Master smiled.

As the words fell, a dazzling green light was suddenly released from Qin Jiang's body. Green grass grew from the cracks in the places illuminated by it, and even the beams and pillars that had been used for many years sprouted new buds.

Qin Jiang opened his eyes slowly, his pair of eyes like two small green suns.

A moment later, the green light gradually converged.
