Chapter 1159
Holy crap!
Xu Que almost cried out in disbelief.
After a year of closed-door cultivation, not only him, but Duan Jiude and the others nearby also saw their cultivation skyrocket. However, they had almost no conversation during this year, always immersed in the comprehension of Dao essence.
Xu Que was the same, so he didn't pay too much attention to how his cultivation had grown. It wasn't until now that he observed his cultivation in hindsight, only to discover that he hadn't stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm.
For him, this was a very unexpected thing because it was too unreasonable. According to his aptitude, soaking in the Golden Branch Jade Liquid pool for a year was comparable to decades of cultivation. How could he not have broken through?
Yet this was the fact. He was still at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, just a tiny bit away from the Earth Immortal Realm. But it was this tiny bit that had been slow to cross. All the Immortal Yuan was constantly settling and compressing in his Dantian Mansion, becoming increasingly vast and pure, extraordinarily vast.
So Xu Que subconsciously thought about whether there was a problem with his flesh body. With no other choice, he exited the state of Dao essence comprehension to check his flesh body.
But when he looked down, he was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this situation?
His perfectly fine "little brother" had actually turned golden and was standing there. The brilliant golden light looked exceptionally dazzling in the Golden Branch Jade Liquid pool, almost blinding Xu Que!
"Golden... Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg?"
Xu Que felt like crying at this moment and was incredibly puzzled. He really couldn't understand why this situation had occurred, but he could clearly feel that it contained a very terrifying power, all condensed within it.
But what the hell is the use of this?
How will he be able to face people after taking off his pants in the future?
Is he supposed to use this treasure as a weapon when fighting?
Although Xu Que was shameless, he hadn't reached that bottom line yet. He found it hard to accept!
"Wanrong, Wanrong, take a look quickly, what has happened to me?" Xu Que immediately looked toward the ice coffin and called out with his divine sense to ask.
His first reaction was that this might be Xuan Yuan Wanrong playing tricks.
But no matter how he called out with his divine sense, the ice coffin remained completely motionless, empty. Clearly, Xuan Yuan Wanrong was unwilling to pay attention to him, or was unable to. After all, when it came down to it, that was just a remnant soul.
"Eh, wait a minute, it feels like I can control it..."
Suddenly, Xu Que noticed that his divine sense seemed to be able to control the power inside.
He tried to probe his divine sense into himself, and then guided that power to be released from within.
Boom!
As his divine sense moved, Xu Que's body was like a toppled domino. The terrifying power within the "Golden Rooster" instantly surged like a dam being breached. The fierce flood crazily poured into his body, injecting into his meridians, injecting into his bones, and even merging into his blood and flesh.
"Hiss!"
Xu Que gasped on the spot, feeling his entire body being bitten by countless mosquitoes and ants, followed by a refreshing feeling of his body being liberated, and then being bitten again, repeating in a cycle.
"Hmm?"
Almost simultaneously, a wisp of white smoke manifested again in the ice coffin that should have been silent.
But this time, Xuan Yuan Wanrong didn't manifest a physical form; only a wisp of light smoke drifted in the ice coffin, conveying a trace of shock.
"The aura of the Pluto Dominating Body... No, this has already surpassed the Pluto Dominating Body, it even surpassed it from the beginning, and now it is undergoing a transformation!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice murmured, appearing very abrupt in the silent palace.
But the three people and one dog in the palace didn't hear this voice.
Xu Que was the only conscious person, but he was currently being tortured by the changes in his flesh body; he had no mind to listen to the surrounding sounds.
He felt as if he had returned to the underground of the Pluto Realm, experiencing the pain and torture of flesh body reshaping once again, and this time it was clearly more terrifying than the last.
One day,
Two days,
Three days,
Ten days...
Until finally, forty-nine days passed. Xu Que didn't become numb from enduring the torture for a long time; instead, he felt his flesh body becoming increasingly sensitive, and those pains became even clearer.
Fortunately, on this day, he finally felt that the torture was gradually decreasing.
He slowly calmed down.
His mood was calming down.
His divine soul was calming down.
His tense flesh body was also calming down.
Finally, he fell into a very comfortable state, as if a person had been sprinting desperately and staying up late for several days without sleep, and finally had the chance to sleep, so he just fell asleep peacefully.
"Whoosh!"
At the same time, a wisp of white smoke surged out of the ice coffin, and Xuan Yuan Wanrong's figure appeared again.
Her remnant soul finally manifested a physical form again. With just one step, she appeared outside the side hall, her gaze fixed on Xu Que's body.
"The Dominating Body and the Divine Body were once existences that could contend with each other. The only thing that could surpass those two physiques is the Saint Body, but the Saint Body has always been just a guess and a concept; no one has ever been able to achieve it..."
Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression was solemn as she whispered to herself: "What kind of fortune did this kid experience? First, he obtained the Dominating Body physique that surpassed the Pluto, and now, because of this Golden Branch Jade Liquid, he has undergone a transformation, raising the Dominating Body to a higher level. Could it be... is this the Saint Body that only exists in conjectures and concepts?"
After a long silence, she stood in place, thoughtful, and finally her figure slowly dissipated, returning to the ice coffin once again!
The next day, Xu Que's eyelids finally trembled slightly, and he woke up.
He noticed that his body had become incredibly refreshed and was full of explosive power, even stronger than the Dominating Body. He had the feeling that he could reach the sky with a single jump.
"Eh? This is..."
Xu Que looked at his flesh body again. The "Golden Rooster" no longer existed, and that proud part had returned to normal, but there was still a thin golden line on his body, extending from his chest to his lower body.
When his divine sense probed into it, Xu Que saw a golden river flowing down from his chest, containing powerful energy, constantly nourishing his body, and even replacing his blood, bones, and so on.
Golden bones, golden blood, what species does he belong to now?
Xu Que was a bit puzzled. He raised his head, looked at Er Gouzi beside him, and raised his hand to slap Er Gouzi on the forehead.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Xu Que immediately closed his eyes, and Er Gouzi also suddenly opened its eyes.
"Ouch, damn it, who hit this God Venerable?" Er Gouzi looked annoyed. It was quietly comprehending the Dao, only to be slapped awake by someone.
Its first reaction was to look at Duan Jiude, but Duan Jiude was currently on the verge of a breakthrough and would soon enter the Earth Immortal Realm; it was impossible for him to have the leisure to ambush it.
Xu Que looked solemn, his brows furrowing from time to time, as if he were experiencing some important turning point.
Only Mo Junchen looked completely indifferent and peaceful, appearing very leisurely.
When Er Gouzi saw this, it didn't even think; without a word, it pounced toward Mo Junchen's head.
"Whoosh!"
Mo Junchen seemed to sense something. Even in the state of cultivation and comprehending Dao essence, sensing someone ambushing him, he was able to wake up immediately and dodge Er Gouzi's palm in time.
"Damn it, it really was you ambushing this God Venerable!" Er Gouzi immediately cursed angrily and pounced toward Mo Junchen.
Mo Junchen was actually also very annoyed. He was in closed-door cultivation, yet this dog was causing trouble and even accusing him first.
But just as he was about to make a move and have a fight with Er Gouzi, his gaze suddenly fell on Xu Que, and his expression changed instantly.
"Wait a minute, something's not right. Look at the Gang Leader's flesh body..." Mo Junchen immediately stopped Er Gouzi and pointed at Xu Que.
Er Gouzi turned its head to look, only then discovering that there was a thin golden line on Xu Que's chest, and his entire flesh body was far stronger than it had been a year ago. This strength wasn't just simple strength, but a strength that made people feel he was clearly a level higher!
"Saint Body, this is the Saint Body. I never thought that the Saint Body, which countless ancients have conjectured about for so long, would actually appear today!" Mo Junchen was incredibly excited, very pleasantly surprised to witness this scene.
"Holy crap, it really seems to be the Saint Body. Golden bones, golden blood, and what's even more deadly is that there's a huge golden river inside. This kid is going to defy the heavens!" Er Gouzi was also full of shock.
At this moment, Xu Que's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyelids slowly opened, as if waking from a big dream. His hazy eyes looked at Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen, and he asked: "Eh, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"Kid, you... look at your chest quickly!" Er Gouzi waved its claws, pointing at Xu Que's chest and shouting.
"Oh?" Xu Que looked down calmly and said lightly: "Hmm, this golden line, right? This is actually nothing special, just a symbol of the Saint Body, nothing to make a fuss about."
Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude both widened their eyes upon hearing this.
Nothing special?
Nothing to make a fuss about?
Holy crap, this is the Saint Body, and you're not even a little bit excited?
"Uh, you guys don't know about the Saint Body, do you?" Xu Que asked with a curious look.
Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen were still staring, unable to speak, truly unable to understand why Xu Que could be so calm.
At this moment, Xu Que stretched out his hand, and a wisp of divine soul power emerged from his fingertips, directly flicking the golden line on his chest, suddenly scattering it.
The next moment, to the astonishment of Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen, that golden line was forcibly changed by Xu Que's fingers, turning into the two golden characters "Saint Body" hanging on his chest.
Only then did Xu Que lift his eyelids slightly, glance at Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen, and say lightly: "Should be clear enough now, right? I am the Saint Body! The Saint Body of the King of Pretension!"
