Chapter 84: Pure Yang Body

Inside the Sword Box, Chunyangzi pondered slightly, as if thinking about some problem. Zhang Nuo did not rush to urge him; since Chunyangzi's Remnant Soul had saved him because of the "Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect," he would surely tell him something about the Spirit Insect. The reason for this was simple! Zhang Nuo was the only master of the Spirit Insect in this world!

Once a Spirit Insect has acknowledged a master, it will no longer listen to others; even if the master of the Spirit Insect unfortunately dies, the Spirit Insect itself will slowly wither and die. This is exactly what Chunyangzi meant by the Spirit Insect carrier issue. To flourish together and to perish together—this is the relationship between the Spirit Insect and Zhang Nuo.

Just as Zhang Nuo expected, it was not long before Chunyangzi spoke.

"As for the origin of the Spirit Insect, I do not know either! Let alone me, even the great cultivators of the Immortal World have no way of knowing. It is just that Heavenly Sky Grade Spirit Insects are extremely rare; even in the Immortal World, they would incite countless disputes!"

Zhang Nuo did not deny this point; the Mysterious Crystal Stones produced by the Spirit Insect were already extremely precious items in the Human Realm. However, hearing Chunyangzi mention the Immortal World, Zhang Nuo's expression changed slightly. Judging by his tone, he seemed very familiar with the Immortal World.

"The Spirit Insect in your hand is named 'Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect.' I think you already know this. It can devour various metals and metal ores and then produce Mysterious Crystal Stones. Actually, this is only one of the most basic instincts of this insect. If you have enough good fortune and can let the Spirit Insect advance several times, it might be able to produce Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones. By that time... hehe! You might become the hegemon of the Human Realm, or even the Immortal World!"

Hearing this, the pupils in Zhang Nuo's eyes suddenly shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face before he could help it! He had never even thought of the word "hegemon."

"Little Zhang, you don't need to be surprised! Once your Spirit Insect can produce Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones, by that time, you will know its wonders!"

As if deliberately keeping him in suspense, Chunyangzi said mysteriously.

"Senior! Aren't there five types of Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones produced by the Spirit Insect? They are white, black, green, yellow, and purple! Only when the five types of crystals are together are they called 'Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones'! Are the stones you mentioned these five types?"

In order to confirm what Chunyangzi said, Zhang Nuo asked carefully.

"What you said is correct! But those are only what the Spirit Insect produces in its early stages. Once the Spirit Insect advances to a certain rank, it will produce the true Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones, which are a product of the five types of crystals fused into one! They are rare treasures of heaven and earth! But? To make the Spirit Insect advance to that degree, it is absolutely impossible without sufficient good fortune!"

Once he spoke of the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stones, Chunyangzi's voice became very excited, but as if he suddenly thought of something else, his voice became low again.

"Alright! Let's not talk about this for now. Just now, I used the power of my Remnant Soul to help you open up the meridians in your body and raise your 'Shangqing Sword Art' to the strength of the second level, because I didn't want you to die here!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo still wanted to ask something, Chunyangzi decisively steered the topic away!

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Discovering that the other party did not want to talk about the Spirit Insect anymore, Zhang Nuo did not dare to force the question. After all, Chunyangzi was able to raise the 'Shangqing Sword Art' by one level using the power of his Remnant Soul; his power was definitely not to be underestimated. If he really angered him, it was not impossible for him to kill Zhang Nuo!

Although the other party kept saying that he saved Zhang Nuo because of the Spirit Insect, Zhang Nuo still needed time to sort out the specific details.

"No need for thanks! However, I do have a favor to ask!"

The voice of Chunyangzi inside the Sword Box became much gentler. Hearing this, Zhang Nuo's heart stirred; it seemed this old monster was finally going to state his purpose.

"Please speak, Senior!"

With no expression on his face, Zhang Nuo listened respectfully.

"Actually, this matter is very difficult for you right now, but as long as you have my help, you will advance to become a powerhouse of the Human Realm. By that time, you might be able to accomplish the thing I am asking for!"

Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly; this Chunyangzi had a big mouth! He actually promised to let him become a powerhouse of the Human Realm. Seeing that Zhang Nuo did not speak, the voice from inside the Sword Box sounded again.

"Actually, what I can give you is only some guidance. As for what to do in the future, it still depends on you. If you achieve great success in your cultivation later, I want you to help me find a Pure Yang Body so that my Remnant Soul can borrow the body to be reborn!"

To Chunyangzi's great surprise, after hearing his request, Zhang Nuo had no expression at all. Not only that, but in the depths of his deep pupils, there was a trace of confusion!

"Senior, what is a 'Pure Yang Body'?"

"My name is Chunyangzi because the body I had while alive was a Pure Yang Body. So-called 'Pure Yang' is simply pure Yang Qi. All spirits of heaven and earth are transformed from Yin and Yang Qi. In the Human Realm, fire belongs to Pure Yang, and water belongs to Pure Yin. Saying it this way, you might understand faster!"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly; now he at least had a little understanding of the 'Pure Yang Body.'

"Back then, during the great war in the Immortal World, I was severely wounded by an opponent, and my form and spirit were destroyed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, I hid a wisp of my Remnant Soul inside the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case,' which is how I was preserved. I didn't expect that after drifting for thousands of years, the Sword Box would end up in the Human Realm. This might be a chance heaven has given me! If I can find someone with a Pure Yang Body, I can occupy his body and continue to practice my 'Pure Yang Great Art'! By that time, fighting my way back to the Immortal World will just be a matter of time!"

Once he reached this point, Chunyangzi's words became full of hatred! Although his face could not be seen, one could fully imagine his gnashing of teeth.

"Is that kind of body the Senior mentioned easy to find?"

Startled into a cold sweat by Chunyangzi's voice, Zhang Nuo hurriedly interrupted him.

"Sigh! The probability of a Pure Yang Body appearing is on par with the Spirit Insect in your hand! That is why I will wait for you to achieve great success in your cultivation and use all your power to help me find one. Moreover, anyone with a Pure Yang Body will certainly not have weak cultivation, so you will also need to subdue them so that my Remnant Soul can reside in their body!"

Zhang Nuo licked his somewhat dry lips. Just finding such a person was already not easy, and he even had to subdue the other party! It seemed that without sufficient cultivation, it would be absolutely impossible to accomplish this!
