Chapter 1160: Work and Rest Must Be Balanced (Two Chapters Combined)

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Er Gouzi snapped out of his daze. Looking at the two crooked characters for "Saint Body" that had been twisted out of gold thread on Xu Que's chest, he shook his head in admiration and began to applaud, exclaiming, "Classy, awesome, these two characters have a lot of style!"

"Eh, keep it low-key. It's just a Saint Body, nothing to get excited about. It's just stronger than those flashy, cheap goods like the Hegemon Body or Divine Body. No need to be so shocked!" Xu Que waved his hand with a humble expression, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Beside him, Mo Junchen's mouth twitched. He truly doubted the aesthetic sense of both Xu Que and Er Gouzi; he didn't see anything classy about those crooked characters at all.

Xu Que swept a calm glance at Mo Junchen. In truth, he had already guessed that his physical body had likely advanced, but he hadn't been certain. That was why he had woken Er Gouzi and had Er Gouzi wake Mo Junchen, just to get a definitive answer from him.

Yet, at that moment, Xu Que was still shocked. His Hegemon Body had actually sublimated into a Saint Body; this was clearly related to the Golden Branch Jade Liquid Pool.

Previously, the Hegemon Body he inherited had already been made more powerful by the Underworld King's own modifications. Later, because of the Chaos Green Lotus, the Hegemon Body had been infused with Chaos Qi during its reconstruction, becoming even more formidable. Now, with his physical body soaked in the Golden Branch Jade Liquid, he had thoroughly broken through his limits and stepped into a level of physical strength that no one had ever reached before—the Saint Body!

According to Mo Junchen, in the era of the gods, the Divine Body was the most powerful. Later, the Underworld King's Hegemon Body emerged, which was the only thing that could rival the Divine Body. As for those so-called Dao Fetus Divine Bodies, anything with two extra characters before "Divine Body" was just a defective version of a Divine Body, far lower in level than the true Divine Body.

Later, someone proposed a concept: if one were to surpass the Divine Body or Hegemon Body, what kind of physique would that be?

Thus, the term "Saint Body" was discussed.

They believed that there was no upper limit to the strength of the physical body. Even the Underworld King or the Divine Bodies of that year had nodded in agreement. They felt that the Divine Body and Hegemon Body were not the limit; the level above them would be a more terrifying physique, but no one had ever been able to achieve that degree.

Even throughout the long river of history, as cultivators gradually went downhill, the Divine Bodies disappeared, leaving only some impure physiques that inherited the bloodline of the Divine Body, which were called Dao Fetus Divine Bodies or other such Divine Bodies.

And the Underworld King's Hegemon Body was completely lost after the fall of the Underworld King. Even though countless people went to the Underworld King's Realm to search for it, there were never any clues, or they simply disappeared inside.

Therefore, everyone had long since considered the term "Saint Body" to be a mere conjecture that could never be realized.

It was like the early days of technological development. When computers first came out, someone proposed that computers could change from huge desktops into thin tablets that could be held in the hand and operated at will. Most people would acknowledge this conjecture, but they didn't believe it could be realized.

And now, Xu Que had reached that step.

From the Hegemon Body sublimating into the Saint Body—this was the most powerful and top-tier physique!

On the surface, he remained calm, acting cool in front of Er Gouzi and Mo Junchen, but inside, he couldn't suppress his excitement. He even anticipated hanging and beating all the so-called Divine Body prodigies in the future, such as that Dao Fetus Divine Body from the Saint Sect!

Luck is something you can't explain, but sometimes when luck arrives and the opportunity comes, you must have the ability to seize it in order to possess more.

When he first entered the Underworld King's inheritance site, Xu Que was far from the only one. Countless predecessors had fallen before him. Xu Que relied on various means to fight for that opportunity, and in the end, he risked his life to forcibly seize the Hegemon Body inheritance.

If there hadn't been that firm determination to grit his teeth back then, how could there be the Saint Body of today?

If there hadn't been that Chaos Green Lotus that almost killed Xu Que several times, how could there be the Saint Body of today?

All of this could be described in four words: "This is fate!"

"Congratulations, Gang Leader!"

Finally, Mo Junchen smiled bitterly and cupped his hands toward Xu Que.

Although he couldn't understand why Xu Que's fortune was so strong, nor could he understand how this Saint Body was created, he didn't ask much, nor was he jealous, because the only jealousy he had was already conquered by Xu Que back at the Underworld King's inheritance site!

"Kid, this God Venerable thinks your physique is quite good, but you spent a whole year in closed-door cultivation, so why are you still at the peak of the Human Immortal Stage?" At this moment, Er Gouzi said with a look of disgust.

It had originally thought that since Xu Que had spent a year in closed-door cultivation here, which was comparable to decades in the outside world, based on its understanding of Xu Que's monstrous talent, Xu Que should have at least reached the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Stage, or even broken through to the peak perfection, and then he would have the ability to rub that Dao Fetus Divine Body of the Saint Sect into the ground.

But now, Xu Que had only advanced his physical body. Although this was very formidable, it only meant that his potential had become greater; the improvement in his strength was not as obvious as a breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

Everyone's mouth twitched instantly. When you were young? How many years ago was that?

At this time, Xu Que continued: "In fact, it's not difficult to find him. I have a way to contact him. No matter where we are, we can communicate at any time, but this method is a bit difficult, and it's not always successful!"

"Oh? Elder Xu, why don't you tell us about it." Bai Cailing immediately became spirited.

She was now anxious to find Xu Que and teach that guy a lesson, so that he could cancel the marriage contract.

Xu Que put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and said unfathomably: "This method is the legendary Father-Son Heart-to-Heart Possession Technique!"

Father-Son Heart-to-Heart Possession Technique? What kind of technique is this? I've never even heard of it!

Everyone was confused, while Yi Zhong of the Shennong Clan was already gloomy to the extreme, but didn't open his mouth to speak, just staring coldly at Xu Que, wishing he could slap him to death. But this was Yaochi, no matter how angry Yi Zhong was, he didn't dare to really kill Xu Que. After all, the Pantao Garden of Yaochi still needed him to govern.

So, hearing Xu Que's so-called Great Method, he could only sneer mockingly: "Pretending to be a ghost!"

Xu Que immediately nodded: "Right, this little brother has an eye. In fact, this method is similar to what the folk call pretending to be a ghost. It requires finding a young man whose appearance is about the same as my son's, and letting my son's divine soul possess him, so that he can contact him. My son and I are father and son heart-to-heart, he will definitely be able to hear my call, and the divine soul will definitely descend, because we have succeeded before!"

Divine soul possession?

Everyone was still confused, never having heard of such a method, really hard to understand.

"This is a secret technique, which requires me to treat a young man as my son, and then call him with a father's heart. My son and I are father and son heart-to-heart, he will definitely be able to hear my call, and the divine soul will definitely descend, because we have succeeded before!" At this time, Xu Que began to explain seriously.

"I understand, this is a kind of emotional bond between father and son, which can only be done if the bloodline is connected. It should be similar to the divine soul protection the Holy Mother has for me." Bai Cailing immediately opened her mouth.

She successfully understood this as divine soul protection. After all, as a Saintess, besides having guardians following her when she went out, the Yaochi Holy Mother would also leave a divine soul consciousness on her. Once Bai Cailing encountered a huge crisis, the Yaochi Holy Mother's divine soul would appear, condensing into an avatar to save her.

And when everyone heard Bai Cailing say this, they also immediately understood and nodded one after another.

Yi Zhong also possessed divine soul protection from his elders, understanding this kind of method Xu Que mentioned, and it was indeed feasible.

"Not bad, that's it!" Xu Que also smiled and nodded, feeling happy in his heart. He was completely bluffing just now, but he didn't expect Bai Cailing to send a perfect assist.

"Since there is a way, then please Elder Xu try it. If you can bring Xu Que here, this matter can be solved!" Deacon Lin pondered for a while and said.

Xu Que shook his head: "No, this old man just said that this method is very difficult. It must be a young man whose appearance is about the same as my son's. My son is so handsome, it's very difficult to find someone in this world who can be compared to him!"

"..." Everyone had black lines on their heads.

After all, except for Bai Cailing, no one present had ever seen Xu Que. Just by Xu Que saying so, it was really hard to convince people, and no matter how handsome or good-looking a person was, there was a degree. How could it be said that there was no one in the world who could be compared to him?

"Elder Xu, how about me?" At this time, Yi Zhong suddenly walked out and asked with a smile.

He had great confidence in his appearance.

Xu Que looked at him faintly and shook his head: "Ugly!"

"You..." The smile on Yi Zhong's face froze instantly, turning into anger.

Bai Cailing hurriedly opened her mouth: "Elder Xu, Fellow Daoist Yi is an excellent prodigy of the Shennong Clan. Even in our Tianxiang Immortal Domain, it is very difficult to find someone who can compare to him. Why not let Fellow Daoist Yi try it."

A wisp of light smoke surged from the ice coffin, followed by Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice: "If you want to live, you must leave within today!"

And now the situation was urgent, and Yaochi didn't have the heart to spend a lot of effort in the Tianxiang Immortal Domain to find someone good-looking. After all, Yi Zhong was a candidate for the God Son, and his foundation was not bad. It was estimated that the best-looking man in the Tianxiang Immortal Domain was about the same as Yi Zhong. Not to mention that Yi Zhong had volunteered now, how could the people of Yaochi refuse?

"Sigh, alright!" Xu Que also nodded with a look of difficulty: "Can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

"..." Yi Zhong's mouth twitched fiercely, his fists clenched, very annoyed.

If it weren't for scamming Xu Que, he wouldn't have endured such humiliation.

In fact, he had already thought of a way. Since it was divine soul possession, he could just go with the flow, pretend that Xu Que's divine soul had possessed him, and then say that the marriage contract was just a joke, taking the opportunity to cancel the marriage contract, and everything would be solved.

"Come on!" Yi Zhong stared fiercely at Xu Que, stood on the spot, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, then I'm starting!" Xu Que also nodded in cooperation, walked to Yi Zhong

"It really is 'finding nowhere to look for it after breaking through iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it.' We came to the Tianzhou Continent just to find trouble with the Saint Sect, I didn't expect them to deliver themselves to our door!" A smile appeared on Xu Que's face.

Duan Jiude and Er Gouzi's mouths twitched: "Kid, you're wrong. According to the current situation, it seems like we delivered ourselves to their door!"

Xu Que was startled, then swept a look of disdain at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude: "Look at your cowardly appearance, you have no ambition or courage at all. Didn't you hear Wanrong say that the Sect Master is coming alone? Even if he is powerful, how powerful can he be? When the time comes, I will set up a trapping and killing array here and definitely kill him!"

"He is a Great Luo Golden Immortal!" Duan Jiude replied lightly.

"A Great Luo Golden Immortal is just a... eh, I think that since we rarely come to the Tianzhou Continent, we shouldn't be eager for revenge, but should go to other places to stroll around first, take a good look at this beautiful world, understand the local customs and habits, and promote cultural development. This is the correct way for tourists to travel. Work and rest must be balanced, we can't just think about destruction!" Xu Que said righteously.

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude didn't use this to despise Xu Que, after all, they knew very well how terrifying a Great Luo Golden Immortal was in the Tianzhou Continent. They completely belonged to the peak-level big shots, and they really couldn't be easily trapped by them now.

"Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

At this time, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice came from the ice coffin, with a playful sneer: "What you are talking about is probably just that person's offspring. The person who comes here every fifty years already stepped into the Immortal King Realm a hundred years ago. Perhaps he is no longer the Sect Master of that force, but the Supreme Sect Master!"

"Damn!" Er Gouzi immediately cursed, turned his head, and wanted to run away directly.

Duan Jiude was also full of shock, too lazy to even dry his clothes, wanting to leave first.

Even Mo Junchen was horrified at this moment.

Immortal King!

There is actually an Immortal King in the Tianzhou Continent!

That must be an old monster who has lived for countless tens of thousands of years!

"Hehe, interesting! Suddenly I feel like I've become an ant!" Xu Que, however, had a cold smile on his face, and his fists clenched tightly.

This gap was indeed very large. Originally, he already had the qualifications to touch the circle of peak experts in the Earth Continent, even if he was only at the Human Immortal Stage, but his strength was enough to crush the Heaven Immortal Stage.

But who could have imagined that after coming to the Tianzhou Continent, his strength would fall so far behind others again.

However, this wasn't the first time, and he had already become a Saint Body. Walking down this path was destined to be invincible. Although it was also very difficult to walk, it was bright and full of hope and challenges!

Swoosh!

At this time, the ice coffin fell into silence again.

This time, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's remnant soul completely fell into a deep sleep, continuing to wait for her main body to return.

Xu Que noticed this and didn't care.

To be honest, he had no affection for Xuan Yuan Wanrong at all. This woman looked like a ruthless and heartless existence, not worth provoking.

Even if she had just reminded them to leave quickly, in reality, she was just afraid that Xu Que would be destroyed, leading to the destruction of her main body. After all, both of their lives were already on the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, with a causal fate of living and dying together!

"Kid, don't waste time, run quickly. If that Immortal King comes a day early, we're done for!" At this time, Er Gouzi urged.

Duan Jiude also nodded repeatedly. If they wanted to leave, they still had to rely on Xu Que's Space-Breaking Talisman. After all, this mountain top was completely isolated by restrictions, and with their strength, they couldn't force their way through!

"Just leave like this? Just go?" Xu Que smiled, his eyes sweeping around, including the Golden Branch Jade Liquid Pool next to him.

Duan Jiude understood, smiling: "How about we stroll around before we leave?"

"Stroll my ass, this God Venerable has already searched this place, there's nothing, the only valuable thing is this pool of Golden Branch Jade Liquid!" Er Gouzi was quick-tongued and shouted out.

Xu Que's eyes widened. Er Gouzi actually searched this place?

Damn, this idiot's hands were too fast, and he did it without anyone knowing, even they didn't notice.

It seems that during this year, Er Gouzi actually did a lot of dirty deeds!

"Forget it, then let's take this pool of Golden Branch Jade Liquid away first!" Xu Que was too lazy to care whether Er Gouzi really didn't find anything good, but he couldn't miss this pool of Golden Branch Jade Liquid!

Mo Junchen was astonished: "Gang Leader, this... can you move this Golden Branch Jade Liquid Pool? As far as I know, this requires at least a container at the level of a Lower Grade Immortal Artifact to carry it!"

Although he knew Xu Que had many Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts that were containers were not easy to find, and could even be said to be extremely rare!

"Protector Mo, you're overthinking it. My meaning isn't to really take away this Golden Branch Jade Liquid Pool, that doesn't conform to our gang rules!" Xu Que immediately waved his hand and smiled slightly.

Mo Junchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly. Indeed, this was someone else's property, and it was occupied by an Immortal King. It wouldn't be good to rob it directly, not to mention that this thing couldn't be moved just like that!

At this time, Xu Que continued: "Alright, don't waste time, let's all go out first. Give me half an hour to take this palace away, and then we will leave!"

Mo Junchen: "???"
