Chapter 279: and translation of title

Upon hearing this, Gu Huiyan's expression changed slightly; it seemed Hu Meiniang might be telling the truth, for she had originally not taken Hu Meiniang's words seriously.

Who is her junior fellow disciple, and how could she possibly not know?

In her youth, her parents lost their lives at the hands of a monster; a wandering Daoist happened upon her and saved her, she learned a full set of skills from that wandering Daoist, and was recommended to study at Ziyang Palace.

Later.

The wandering Daoist who had adopted her junior fellow disciple was killed by a monster; her junior fellow disciple went mad, seeking that monster for revenge, taking three to five years to find it, and afterward paid a heavy price.

Only then did he slay the monster to avenge the wandering Daoist who had adopted him!

It can be said.

Her junior fellow disciple bears a blood-deep grudge against the monster; upon seeing Hu Meiniang forcibly break into a civilian home, regardless of the child's situation, her junior fellow disciple would go mad and come to protect that household.

It is impossible for her junior fellow disciple to risk his life to protect that household merely because the family's child is different.

I never expected……

Her junior fellow disciple actually had her shield the surroundings with magical power; evidently he had some words he did not want others to overhear!

Not long after.

A mighty surge of magical power emanated from Gu Huiyan, enveloping the entire Wang Family, before she said: "Junior fellow disciple, you may speak now!"

"Senior sister, to be frank, that child of the Wang Family possesses an Innate Dao Body and an Acquired Sword Body..."

Before Xuanqing Daozhang could finish his sentence, Gu Huiyan furrowed her brows and interrupted: "Junior fellow disciple, if you don't want to speak, you need not; I will not force you!"

Xuanqing Daozhang said solemnly: "Senior sister, do you not believe what I say?"

"Junior fellow disciple, it's not that I don't want to believe you; rather, you yourself listen to what you're saying—claiming both an Innate Dao Body and an Acquired Sword Body!"

Gu Huiyan said in a displeased tone: "You are also a cultivator; don't tell me you don't know what an Innate Dao Body and an Acquired Sword Body are, and moreover, when could a person have two constitutions?"

An Innate Dao Body is the finest seedling for a cultivator, able to quickly master various Dao arts and integrate them; it is said to be a constitution capable of becoming an immortal, and once it appears in the world, who knows how many sects would vie for it.

Of course.

Although the Innate Dao Body is rare, it is not nonexistent!

Merely.

Possessing both an Innate Dao Body and an Acquired Sword Body is impossible; she has never heard of a person having two constitutions.

The Acquired Sword Body cannot compare to the Innate Dao Body, yet among precious constitutions it is also considered a very strong one.

"Senior sister, after years of friendship, and now you have traveled a thousand miles to save my life—do you think I would deceive you?"

Xuanqing Daozhang gave a bitter laugh; this matter, not to mention his senior sister, even he himself would not dare believe it unless he had seen it with his own eyes, and he explained:

"Senior sister, hear me out: the child's Acquired Sword Body is like this..."

After a lengthy explanation, Gu Huiyan roughly understood how a person could have two constitutions, yet she still found it hard to believe, furrowing her brows as she said:

"Are you saying that because the great swordsman Dong Qing made a move, injecting a strand of sword qi into the child's body, and that sword qi, due to an anomaly in the child's Innate Dao Body, gradually affected the child, thereby giving the child an additional constitution—the Acquired Sword Body?"

Xuanqing Daozhang opened his mouth, wanting to say more to dispel his senior sister's doubts, but seeing her expression, he feared that no matter what he said, she would not believe him, and he said:

"Senior sister, once you see that child yourself, you will know whether I have deceived you!"

"Fine, I will examine that child closely later, and then I will know whether you are deceiving me!"

Gu Huiyan snorted coldly and inquired: "By the way, where is that child?"

"That child——" Before Xuanqing Daozhang could finish, his face changed drastically, and he hastily said: "Not good; senior sister, please make a trip—the family likely fled toward the county seat with the child; you must absolutely not let that child fall into Hu Jianbo's hands!"

Don't be fooled by Hu Jianbo's meek demeanor before your senior sister, not caring even for his little sister's life; he knows all this is merely an act put on by Hu Jianbo.

Hu Jianbo is the chieftain of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan—how could he be a weak Fox Demon?

"I'm going now!"

Gu Huiyan also said no more, turned and prepared to leave; if her junior fellow disciple's words are not false, that child falling into Hu Jianbo's hands would be a tremendous loss to humanity.

An Innate Dao Body plus an Acquired Sword Body is a seedling for immortality, one that could augment the human foundation; once it falls into the hands of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan,

To put it bluntly…

Hu Jianbo harming that child's life is still a minor matter; what is feared is that Hu Jianbo would lead the child astray.

Practicing the demon clan's methods, turning into something neither human nor ghost!

Of course.

Hu Jianbo lacks the ability, unable to find a demon clan technique that could unleash the child's Innate Dao Body plus Acquired Sword Body, but behind him, the Green Hill Fox Clan possesses such methods.

You have reached this novel.

Before Gu Hui could take a few steps, Yan leapt forward and suddenly halted.

Xuanqing Daozhang said worriedly: "Senior sister, why aren't you leaving? Could it be that your divine sense detected that Ping'an was abducted by Hu Jianbo?"

"Someone has returned this family!"

Gu Huiyan looked up, and after a while, on a distant road, a group of people appeared: namely, the Wang Family entourage, and the Immortal Official Luo Liang of Qingyang County, saying: "Is the child you spoke of the infant in that woman's arms?"

Although.

Although this place is far from Liu Dongzhu, Gu Huiyan's eyesight is excellent, able to clearly see Liu Dongzhu holding Wang Ping'an in her arms.

"Exactly!"

Seeing the Wang Family members return, Xuanqing Daozhang also breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Senior sister, how is it? I didn't deceive you about that child, did I?"

"I cannot tell whether that child possesses an Innate Dao Body!"

Gu Huiyan sighed slightly, saying: "However, that child's body contains a mighty sword qi; perhaps it is not yet an Acquired Sword Body, but I believe that giving the child some time, under the nourishment of this mighty sword qi, is enough for the child to become an Acquired Sword Body."

Of course.

If there are further opportunities, transforming from an Acquired Sword Body into a Primordial Sword Body is not impossible.

Xuanqing Daozhang said in astonishment: "Senior sister, why can't you see that Ping'an is an Innate Dao Body?"

He actually does not know either whether Wang Ping'an possesses an Innate Dao Body; he claimed Wang Ping'an has an Innate Dao Body based on his inference from some of Wang Ping'an's manifestations.

He originally hoped his senior sister could help determine whether Wang Ping'an possesses an Innate Dao Body.

"The description of the Innate Dao Body in books is merely a few words!"

"Gu Huayan's expression was complex as she said: 'This world isn't devoid of Innate Dao Body births, but most are taken away by major sects or some old monsters; before they have cultivated any skill, they remain unknown, like a hidden dragon in the abyss—where would there be an opportunity to observe them? How could I tell whether someone is an Innate Dao Body?'"
