Chapter 82: Profound Yin Holy Body

The Heaven Continent has five great sects: Star Cliff, Heaven Derivation Sect, Soaring Cloud Sect, Spiritual Heavens Sect, and Purple Imperial Palace.

The five great sects form a distribution trend of four corners and a center.

Among them, the Purple Imperial Palace lies in the northwest of the Heaven Continent, and its actual controlled area includes the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Star Cliff is in the northeast of the Heaven Continent, Soaring Cloud Sect in the southwest, and Spiritual Heavens Sect in the southeast.

Heaven Derivation Sect is located in the central part of the Heaven Continent.

Among the orthodox factions of the Heaven Continent, one of the two Dao-comprehending cultivators is the patriarch of Heaven Derivation Sect.

This information was gathered by Lu Chen and a few others over the past few days.

By coincidence, Gu Xiangxiang's hometown, Lingxi Town, lies within the territory controlled by Star Cliff.

However, Lingxi Town suffered heavy damage back then and now hardly exists.

I don't know what will happen after Gu Xiangxiang and the others return..." Qin Yan wanted to say more but hesitated.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, obviously catching her meaning.

Gu Xiangxiang had already discussed the past events with him.

Similar to what Lin Qingxi experienced half a month ago, they too lost their families and homes due to demonic cultivator invasions.

The two sisters watched their clansmen die horribly, but were powerless due to insufficient strength.

I never expected demonic cultivators to have fully infiltrated the Heaven Continent within twenty years.

No wonder Mo Xuan was backstabbed by his wife.

Lu Chen thought, took out a recently updated map, and checked the approximate location of Lingxi Town.

As for Star Cliff, it's best not to approach it for the time being.

With my current abilities, I cannot be too reckless.

Perhaps, when we go to Lingxi Town, we can temporarily hide and cultivate.

As a top-tier sect on par with the Heavenly Demon Sect, Star Cliff houses several Cave Heaven realm elders; forcing entry would likely be a one-way trip.

After roughly planning the route, Lu Chen stored Wang Cai in the pre-sale space and brought Qin Yan to Chu Lian's alchemy room.

Inside, foul miasma filled the air, and discarded pills littered the ground.

Lu Chen could tell at a glance that this woman was trying a new pill again.

Opening the door and dispelling the black smoke inside, the two saw a disheveled Chu Lian.

Her face was covered in dust, and her expression was slightly angry.

Seeing she was still refining pills, Lu Chen did not disturb her, walked to the side, and picked up all the discarded pills on the ground.

Qin Yan saw his action and didn't quite understand, but she respected Lu Chen.

In her view, as a reincarnated great demonic cultivator, Lu Chen's every move has meaning; she doesn't understand only because her cultivation level is insufficient.

After storing the discarded pills in his storage bag, only a 'boom' was heard as Chu Lian's refining failed again.

Alright, Chu Lian, stop refining for now.

Lu Chen came behind Chu Lian and put one arm around her waist.

What are you doing?! Don't disturb my pill refining! I'm about to succeed!

Because of repeated refining failures, Chu Lian's temper is fierce.

But the next moment, Lu Chen gently pulled her into his embrace, and her tone instantly softened considerably.

What do you want to do?

She suddenly blushed and glanced at Qin Yan nearby.

Having known Lu Chen for a while, she believed she already understood him well.

Since that time she accidentally took the Beast Joy Pill, Lu Chen has become increasingly excessive toward her.

Not only did he have her cultivate dual cultivation techniques, but he also wanted her to take the initiative.

What's more excessive is that these days, Lu Chen often brings Qin Yan to see her, intentionally or not.

Although there is no explicit hint, in her view this clearly means he wants her to join Qin Yan in dual cultivation with him.

Nothing much, just pack up; we're getting ready to leave.

Leave? Going to Younger Sister Xiangxiang's hometown?

Mm.

Hearing Lu Chen nod, Chu Lian bit her lip, glanced at the various medicinal ingredients piled up nearby, and finally sighed:

Alright.

She quickly tidied up those medicinal ingredients and followed Lu Chen out of the room.

Returning to their lodgings, they woke Gu Xiangxiang and the others, then sent a sound transmission for Su Qian, who was out gathering information, to come back.

Let's go.

Perhaps due to Lin Yunxue's deliberate arrangement, Lu Chen hasn't seen Lin Qingxi's figure these past few days.

He mounted Wang Cai with the five women and flew into the skies above the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Just as he was about to flee toward Lingxi Town, he suddenly saw Lin Qingxi's figure appear below.

Lin Qingxi looked somewhat dejected.

Beside her stood her mother, Lin Yunxue.

Lu Chen! Will you come back?

Lin Qingxi down below shouted at him.

Lu Chen did not respond.

Can you take me with you? If possible, I'm willing to be a concubine!

I don't know why, but Lin Qingxi blurted out those words under some compulsion.

Lu Chen's appearance was of extraordinary significance to her.

She had spent her entire life in the imperial household, until Lu Chen's appearance changed that situation.

This wonderful feeling made her deeply infatuated, to the point of becoming somewhat irrational.

What she didn't know was that a strange energy was gradually brewing in her heart.

Huh?

The Empress's soul flew out from within Lu Chen's body, and she keenly sensed the sudden change in Lin Qingxi.

Profound Yin Holy Body? Such a remote place actually has such a physique?

How strange, why hadn't I sensed the existence of her physique before?

She muttered to herself, suddenly thinking of something.

Right, the awakening of the Profound Yin Holy Body requires conditions; only after suffering a major mental trauma will it slowly awaken.

Could it be, again because of Lu Chen?

The Empress suddenly glanced at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen wanted to ask her what had happened, but she refused to answer.

The awakening of the Profound Yin Holy Body still needs time; letting her stay away from Lu Chen is the best choice...

This physique is extremely compatible with my Grand Yin Divine Body; once I recover my physical body, perhaps I could consider taking her as a disciple...

Actually, when the Empress noticed Lin Qingxi's physique, her first reaction was to seize her body.

Since Lu Chen had taken the Soul-Nourishing Pill a while ago, her soul power had also recovered considerably.

Although not enough to return to her peak, she already possessed the ability to seize a body.

But, being naturally proud, unless it was an unparalleled physique, she would absolutely not seize a body.

After all, physique affects cultivation speed; wanting to return to the Emperor Realm after recovering her physical body, she must obtain a physique of the same level as the Grand Yin Divine Body that was shattered in her past life.

Empress Sister, do you have something?

Lu Chen saw her constantly looking downwards and couldn't help but send a mental message asking.

Nothing much, just discovered that she actually hides an extraordinary physique within her body.

"Physique?" Lu Chen had naturally heard of such things.

Generally, people with special physiques either cannot cultivate their whole lives, or have talents surpassing ordinary people.

Seeing his curiosity, the Empress did not conceal it and told him about the Profound Yin Holy Body within Lin Qingxi's body.

The Empress thought that after he listened, he would ask some questions about the physique, but she never expected Lu Chen's first words to be:

"This physique, is the speed of dual cultivation faster than that of ordinary people?"
