Chapter 376: Star Body

Wei.

Five hundred li outside Wei Du lies the Xuanyuan Sect; this was originally an ordinary sect of the Human Race, but in reality, it had long since been controlled by the Demon Race and is one of the strongholds Yan Ruyu controls in the Eastern Domain.

Behind the Xuanyuan Sect, a detached courtyard is built against a cliff.

The environment is elegant, and the scenery is beautiful.

Under the bright moonlight, clouds and mist drift between the mountains.

Yan Ruyu and Yin Qi sit opposite each other; she pours a cup of peach blossom tea for Yin Qi and says in a crisp, pleasant voice, "Yin Qi, thank you for this time, but refining the ancestor's Emperor blood takes time; I will be able to give it to you in a few days."

Yin Qi takes a sip of tea, his mouth full of fragrance, and says, "No matter. By the way, Princess, is it convenient to borrow the classics of the Xuanyuan Sect? Rest assured, I will not look at cultivation techniques, only miscellaneous books."

In the Zhetian World, a brand-new cultivation system also means a brand-new cultivation culture.

Cultivation is not just about practicing a single technique; one must also understand various cultivation knowledge and possess a systematic cultural foundation, so that it is possible to cultivate faster and more safely.

Divine Body, such as the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body, Origin Spirit Body, Supreme Immortal Body, and so on.

With Yin Qi's cultivation, he likely would not hold the Xuanyuan Sect's techniques in high regard.

Yin Qi arrives at the Scripture Depository of the Xuanyuan Sect.

"Found it!"

……

Yan Ruyu smiles slightly: "This matter is simple; later I will have Qin Yao send you a token, and you may read all the classics of the Xuanyuan Sect, including cultivation techniques, at your leisure."

Opening the book, the general outline classifies Human Race physiques into four grades, from low to high: King Body, Divine Body, Saint Body, and Immortal Body.

Immortal Body, that is, a physique capable of becoming an immortal, such as the Chaos Body or the Innate Saint Body Dao Fetus.

Yin Qi naturally says happily, "Then many thanks."

Of course, he also wants to investigate his own physique.

Although the Xuanyuan Sect is only a small sect, even stronger than the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, the Scripture Depository is not small, containing thousands of volumes of books, though there are only about a hundred true cultivation techniques.

Besides special physiques, the Mortal Body also has distinctions between high and low.

Next, the two drank flower tea for a while and chatted, then Yin Qi rose to take his leave.

The Xuanyuan Sect is but an ordinary sect, and the sect leader with the highest cultivation is only at the third level of the Dao Palace.

Saint Body, such as the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Heavenly Tyrant Body, Solar Saint Body, Lunar Saint Body, and so on.

Of course, these are all special physiques.

Most are miscellaneous books, such as Strange Tales and Oddities, travelogues of predecessors, cultivation notes, and the like.

Only by understanding what one's physique is can one better develop it.

Yin Qi quickly browses the book titles on the shelves and soon finds the book he wants to find, "Human Physique Detailed Record"; this is a book introducing the types of Human Race physiques, over a hundred pages thick.

Yin Qi wants to absorb the essence of the Zhetian civilization, so he must read extensively.

The next day.

King Body, such as the Central Plains King Body, Yu Hua King Body, and so on.

Yin Qi slowly flips through it, and not until the very end of the book does he find the physique corresponding to the characteristics of his Bitter Sea; his eyes light up: Star Body, the Bitter Sea is purple-gold, boundless upon its initial opening, with the Heavenly Stars appearing in the Bitter Sea.

"So it is the Star Body!"

Yin Qi looks at the introduction of the Star Body; it is exactly the same as his own characteristics.

A purple-gold Bitter Sea is one of the hallmarks of the Star Body.

According to the book's records, since ancient times, Star Bodies have been few and far between, and every Star Body that has appeared has been a leader of an era, all capable of proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor.

The characteristic of the Star Body is the ability to Jieyin the power of the Heavenly Stars for one's own use, to cultivate or to fight the enemy.

If one can enter the starry sky, their combat power can be multiplied.

It can be said that this is a powerful physique comparable to the Innate Saint Body Dao Fetus.

……

For the next five days, Yin Qi stays in the Scripture Depository.

With his ability to read ten lines at a glance and never forget what he sees, reading books is like flipping through them; he finishes all thousands of books, including all the techniques of the Xuanyuan Sect.

Since Yan Ruyu does not mind, he naturally will not refuse.

After finishing the cultivation techniques of the Xuanyuan Sect, Yin Qi understands the profoundness of the Sea of Bitterness Volume of the Dao Scripture even more; as for his method of opening nine Life Springs, it can simply be called an immortal method.

Although the Xuanyuan Sect's techniques are simple, they also greatly enriched Yin Qi's horizons.

This day.

Qin Yao comes to the Scripture Depository to inform him that Yan Ruyu requests his presence.

Yin Qi knows it must be that the Emperor blood is ready.

……

The detached courtyard by the cliff.

Yan Ruyu opens her right palm, and in her hand is a crystal the size of a fist; in the center of this crystal is sealed a drop of bright red blood, shimmering with a golden luster.

Although sealed by the crystal, one can still sense a majestic life force surging within.

"Yin Qi, this is a drop of the ancestor's Imperial Essence Blood."

"Good!"

Yin Qi is delighted, puts away the crystal, and says, "Princess, what are your plans next? This Wei is somewhat close to Yan; although the Xuanyuan Sect is hidden, it may still be exposed."

Yan Ruyu says, "Thank you for your concern. These days, besides refining the Imperial Essence Blood, we have also been setting up a Domain Gate, preparing to head to the Northern Region; there are several Demon Kings there who are quite close to my lineage."

Yin Qi nods.

In the original story, the Peacock King, Qingjiao Wang, and other Northern Region Demon Kings all strongly supported Yan Ruyu.

Now that she has obtained the Qing Di Weapon and the heart, she must head to the Northern Region to seek shelter; staying here will only be more dangerous.

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes are brimming with emotion as she parts her red lips slightly: "What about you? This is not a place for you to stay for long either; why not head to the Northern Region with us? That way, we can look out for each other."

Although Yin Qi killed her ancestor, she held no resentment in her heart.

When it came down to it, her ancestor was the one seeking death.

For a mysterious powerhouse like Yin Qi, whose future achievements were limitless, she was naturally willing to be on good terms with him.

Just like in the original story, regarding the restored Pang Bo, she also knew that the ancestor who had possessed Pang Bo was dead, and she likewise did not cause trouble for Pang Bo, because she was separated from her ancestor by several generations and there was not much affection between them.

Yin Qi shook his head and said, "No, I still have some matters to attend to; I will go to the Northern Region after some time. Princess, now that the business here is concluded, I should take my leave. Until we meet again."

Yan Ruyu nodded gently: "Until we meet again!"

Yin Qi cupped his hands, then took a step out, as if walking through the void, and quickly disappeared into the clouds and mist.

……

Wei Du.

Yin Qi first inquired about the news and learned that the major factions had already gathered at the Black Pool, currently discussing how to attack the Yin Tomb, among whom were many old antiques at the Saint Lord level.

For the sake of the Qingdi Tomb, the major factions had brought out all their hidden foundations.

As for the cultivators who came to join in the excitement, there were even more, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

Next, the capital of Yan would be lively.

In the suburbs, Yin Qi rented a courtyard, set up an Array Formation, and sat cross-legged in the bedroom.

He crushed the crystal, and immediately an extremely pure Blood Qi permeated the air, unimaginably vast, accompanied by rays of light filling the room and a refreshing fragrance, and even countless phantoms of green lotuses.

Yin Qi exclaimed in wonder; the energy contained in this drop of blood was dozens, or even hundreds of times more vast than the Divine Source on his person; and this was still after the passage of ten thousand years, with most of the energy in the Emperor's blood having dissipated.

One must know that a true drop of Emperor's blood could severely injure, or even Suppress and kill, a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse.

"This drop of Emperor's blood is enough for me to complete the Aperture Refining."

"It seems the trip to the Bronze Immortal Palace should be postponed for now; I will wait until I have completed the Aperture Refining before talking about it!"
