Chapter 587 - 586: Nine Yin Body, Heavenly Emperor’s Fake Death

Yuan Hai had not been gone for long, before he found the man who was previously sent flying by Li Jing.

Li Jing had indeed shown mercy.

The man was only incapacitated, and now he was barely back to his senses.

In the end, he was indeed at the peak of the Latter Venerable Realm.

Their vitality was relatively tenacious.

Confronting Li Jing who nearly cost him half his life with a casual attack, the man didn’t dare to breathe, readily kneeling on the ground to apologize to Xiang Yunxian.

This unexpectedly made Xiang Yunxian uncomfortable.

A peak master of the Latter Venerable Realm, apologizing to her, a person in the middle stage of the Venerable Realm by kneeling...

After apologizing to Xiang Yunxian, Yuan Hai and the man who was previously sent flying enthusiastically joined the grave-digging operation.

That scene.

It was truly bustling, even more than when a construction project commenced.

All sorts of pupil techniques, mathematical methods, treasure-finding methods, the nine of them were showing off their skills.

Not only were their divine abilities distinct, but the nine of them were also extremely efficient at digging graves.

In a short while, one after another high-value objects were dug out from the destroyed tomb group by the nine of them.

It must be said.

The Emperor of Heaven and the Nalan family were indeed quite something.

Arranging such a large burial, and having so many valuable things as burial objects.

This symbolized their past glorious days.

If these burial objects were to be used by the living, who knows how many people could live a worry-free life because of them.

Using them as burial objects for the dead, it seemed somewhat wasteful.

Nalan Longao watched as his ancestral tombs were turned upside down by Fusheng and the others, his expression changing continuously.

Of course, Li Jing paid no mind to this.

Xiang Yunxian felt somewhat sorry, but she did not say anything.

Both being "women".

She saw many "bright spots" worth learning from Li Jing.

Dominating, strong, and knowing how to control people’s hearts....

On the other hand, she was herself.

Soft-hearted, weak, and even after being deceived, she still foolishly wanted to have ten children for the person...

Comparing the two, Xiang Yunxian couldn’t help but start to reflect deeply on her life.

Although she didn’t have the Emperor level strength like Li Jing, she was at least a Venerable.

Why could she be so unsuccessful?

Just as she was thinking, there was suddenly a cheer of surprise from below.

"I found the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy!"

Nalan Longao trembled at the news.

Li Jing, who was eating snacks, was also stunned and looked surprised.

He didn’t have any expectations for the legacy, nor did he think there would be any remarkable hidden legacy here.

First of all, only Nalan Longao knew what he was aiming for.

Secondly, the Nalan family, as direct descendants of the Emperor of Heaven, lived so poorly that their ancestors probably didn’t leave anything behind.

If the Emperor of Heaven was so prestigious, he would surely have left something better for his descendants than what he brought to the grave.

Unexpectedly, someone really found it, and so easily at that.

What was even more surprising was that the person who claimed to have found the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy was the hawk-nosed man he had sent flying earlier.

As he was wondering, the man flew over, respectfully presenting a jade scroll that was almost broken but still usable.

"Master Jiu, this jade scroll contains the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy, please take a look."

Li Jing blinked upon hearing this and waved his hand.

"I’ve said it before, I’m not interested in the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy. Now that you’ve found it, just keep it."

"Ah..."

The man was taken aback.

Upon finding something, his immediate thought was to offer it.

It’s not that he didn’t believe Li Jing could be so generous, but as the only one who had "offended" someone, he should have stronger survival instincts.

To his surprise, when he came to offer his find, Li Jing didn’t even bother to glance at it.

At this moment, Fusheng and the others had also flown over.

Seeing that Li Jing did not even bother to glance at the jade scroll when his companion made an offering, they were amazed at the disdain of Master Jiu for the legacy and looked suspiciously at the hawk-nosed man.

This young man.

Could he be planning to hoard the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy for himself?

The hawk-nosed man was indeed cunning.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, he put away the jade scroll and said.

"We all entered here together in search of opportunities, so the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy rightfully belongs to all of us. I, Lu Daoqing, will not try to keep it all to myself. However, now is not the time for us to study the legacy, let’s first complete Master Jiu’s task."

Listening to his words, Fusheng and the others were much more relaxed and agreed wholeheartedly.

And so.

The nine of them went back to digging graves in earnest.

Li Jing watched the nine of them leave, his gaze unintentionally landing on Nalan Longao, as he said with a laugh.

"You’re quite good at keeping your cool. The Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy that belongs to the Nalan family has been found by someone else, and you don’t even have a word to say?"

"What’s the point in me speaking when you, Master Jiu, are here?"

Nalan Longao responded with a cold smile.

Li Jing shrugged noncommittally at his words, popped a Spirit Fruit into his mouth, and said.

"If I’m not mistaken, this so-called Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy has always been with the Nalan family, hasn’t it? You’re not here for the inheritance, are you?"

Meeting these words, Nalan Longao’s face slightly stiffened, but he quickly concealed it and replied,

"I have no idea what you’re talking about, Master Jiu."

Li Jing simply smiled without saying anything at the change in his color.

As his name suggests, Nalan Longao is quite proud.

Too bad that he can’t hide anything.

When Lu Daoqing found the Heavenly Emperor’s Legacy, there was a change in his expression, albeit briefly. It was evident that he didn’t consider it too significant.

What he cared about was something else.

As for what it was, Li Jing wasn’t too interested.

What intrigued him at the moment was-

Nalan Longao’s whole plan was disrupted by him. Now he can only stand aside, powerless.

Why is he so calm, not showing the slightest urgency or embarrassment because he cannot achieve his own goal?

Is it because this youngster can endure?

Or does he have no fear?

Li Jing felt that it should be the latter.

So the question is-

What made him so fearless?

Just as he was speculating, Xiang Yunxian, who was on the side, suddenly stood up and drew out a jade-colored flying sword.

"Longao, what are you really planning?"

Not only was Nalan Longao startled by this remark, even Li Jing was taken aback for a moment.

Xiang Yunxian obviously sensed something because of his words and actions.

But even the one who openly expressed his thoughts wasn’t in a rush, so why did she suddenly draw her sword?

On the other side,

handling the flying sword pointing at his neck, Nalan Longao regained his composed expression after the initial shock, saying,

"Junior sister, you shouldn’t point your sword at me."

?

Li Jing slowly draw out an interrogation mark and took out a large spirit fruit that looked like a watermelon and took a few bites with an odd look on his face.

This guy’s style has suddenly changed. Is he going to stop pretending?

Oh, that’s great!

Quickly show us what you have, so you won’t delay the nine minions digging below.

But Xiang Yunxian was a little confused by Nalan Longao’s words.

The key point was that she didn’t expect that merely pointing her sword at him would cause him to reveal almost everything.

This...

Li Jing was obviously sitting here eating melon seeds, what could he rely on to reveal such a confrontational stance?

Just as she was puzzled, Nalan Longao opened his mouth faintly.

"Junior sister, I wasn’t planning on killing you initially. After all, your Nine Yin Body is something I haven’t had the chance to enjoy yet. It would be a pity to kill you."

Nine Yin Body?

Does Xiang Yunxian really have such a subtle special physique?

Li Jing was surprised.

The so-called Nine Yin Body.

Is an extremely special pure Yin physique.

As everyone knows,

Women with a pure Yin physique are all first-class furnace dings.

The Nine Yin Body, unlike other pure Yin physiques, does not bring all kinds of benefits to the owner.

For example, Liu Sisi’s Cold Heart Physique and Jiang Yini’s Night Body, which greatly increase cultivation efficiency in specific environments or time points, do not have these effects.

But its usefulness as a furnace ding can be described as top-notch.

No need for any dual cultivation techniques, nor methods of Yin absorption and Yang replenishment.

Just making love with the Nine Yin Body can nourish one’s origin.

The origin is the root of all cultivation.

Usually, to strengthen it, you need to cultivate and breakthrough in a step-by-step manner. Only when the realm is broken, the origin will further strengthen, making the cultivator stronger.

Having a furnace ding with a Nine Yin Body easily breaks this pattern.

Even without breakthroughs, the origin can continually benefit from the nourishment of the Nine Yin Body.

Although this kind of growth isn’t as substantial as breaking through the realm limit, someone who can long-term control a Nine Yin Body can easily become the top powerhouse in the same realm, and even become invincible at the same level.

That’s not all.

If one is lucky enough to get the first red yin of the Nine Yin Body, the expansion of the origin would be immediate!

Upon hearing this, Li Jing now understood why Xiang Yunxian was so conservative.

It is generally the case,

Although cultivators may not be promiscuous, if they truly have a partner, very few are reserved enough not to touch until they are married. When it’s time to feed, they will feed.

To put it bluntly,

This is an agreement of mutual benefit between men and women.

But for top-grade furnace dings like Xiang Yunxian, they can’t be so open.

Generally, special physiques are hard for others to detect. But for someone with a Nine Yin Body, anyone who touches it would definitely know.

Xiang Yunxian’s conservative personality is appropriate.

If anyone tasted that kind of joy that nourished the origin, the secret of the Nine Yin Body would definitely be exposed, and some unclear people or things would definitely change.

On this side,

When Xiang Yunxian’s physique, a secret that should never be known to anyone, was revealed by Nalan Longao, her face changed again and again.

"You...how did you..."

"How did I know?"

Nalan Longao gave an evil smile and said,

"Our ancestor had a Body of Nine Suns."

?

Li Jing.

Xiang Yunxian was curious about the reason behind Nalan Longao’s knowledge of her well-kept secret.

So, why has an ancestor suddenly appeared?

Xiang Yunxian herself was a bit stunned.

The Body of Nine Suns is a pure Yang physique that corresponds to the Nine Yin Body.

The effects of the two corresponding physiques are entirely different.

The uniqueness of the Body of Nine Suns is that it can draw Yin nourishment from any female to nourish its origin, and when practicing pure Yang attribute techniques, it achieves twice the result with half the effort.

Some things in the world are just so unfair.

For ordinary female cultivators, the Nine Yin Body is a total disaster, they even have to be careful in choosing a man, otherwise, they may become a plaything for others their entire life.

However, for male cultivators, the Body of Nine Suns is a top-tier physique, having it alone is enough to assure a meteoric rise.

These two physiques correspond to each other, and when they meet, they resonate.

So the question arises.

Xiang Yunxian did not remember sensing the presence of the Body of Nine Suns, which corresponds to her own physique. What did the ancestor of Nalan Longao, who had this physique, have to do with him?

At this point, Li Jing speaks up.

"So, are you hiding an old man in your body or somewhere in your belongings?"

???

Xiang Yunxian.

What does it mean to be harboring an old man in one’s body or belongings?

Meeting her puzzled gaze, Li Jing kindly explains.

"What I mean is that the ancestor of the Nalan family, the Emperor of Heaven, is not completely dead, and his remnant soul is in this kid’s body or housed in some object."

!!!

Xiang Yunxian.

On the other side.

Nalan Longao showed a slightly strange expression at Li Jing’s words and said.

"Monster Emperor Jiu Li, I seem to have underestimated you. You managed to guess this so easily?"

Li Jing laughed in response.

"These are all leftovers from other people’s novels, is it surprising?"

Novels?

Nalan Longao was taken aback.

Clearly, as a native of the Zhong Shen Zhou in the Immortal Realm, he had no idea what a novel was.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to it. He moved his body back slightly and said to himself.

"Ancestor, this fox demon is not easy to deal with."

Before his words fell, a plain voice rang out.

"Don’t worry, leave everything to me."

Then.

A handsome young phantom appeared beside Nalan Longao, squinting at Li Jing who was sitting in front of the blood Qi table.

"How dare this insignificant fox demon blaspheme the place where this emperor sleeps. He must be killed."

As he spoke, he pointed out with one finger.

The seemingly ordinary finger caused the entire space to vibrate and a giant finger shadow appeared in the sky, pressing down with tremendous force.

Xiang Yunxian was sitting next to Li Jing.

Seeing the finger shadow appear, her face instantly turned pale.

The sudden turn of events and the startling strength of the young phantom left her without the slightest desire to resist.

Emperor!

This was undoubtedly a top-tier Emperor!

Xiang Yunxian did not understand.

Why did a being who was clearly dead have such power with a single finger?

The nine people, including Fusheng, who were digging graves below, looked up when they noticed the anomaly, all with question marks over their heads.

This...

What’s going on?

Why is there such a terrifying phantom in the sky!?

Li Jing looked at the Emperor of Heaven’s finger with an indifferent expression on his face.

This Emperor of Heaven.

Indeed impressive.

Just this finger of his.

Encountering this finger, a normal Emperor could only open up an independent world to avoid it, otherwise it would be hard to protect themselves.

But to deal with him, this was nowhere near enough.

"For a remnant soul barely clinging to life, you do have some skills."

Indifferent to the situation, Li Jing also pointed out a finger.

"Boom!"

The sky above was shattered and the void sank, swallowing the finger shadow.

Seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven looked solemn and warned.

"The rules of space, this control... you are not in the Venerable Realm but in the Return to Origin Realm!?"

"Good observation, why didn’t you figure it out earlier?"

Li Jing laughed.

Both Xiang Yunxian and Nalan Longao were taken aback by their conversation.

Return to Origin?

What kind of realm is this?

It sounds...

As if they were above the Venerable, whom countless people from the Immortal Realm had been unable to touch for millions of years?!

Li Jing...

Is he in the Return to Origin Realm?!

On receiving a confirmation, the expression of the Emperor of Heaven gradually turned grave. He took a closer look at Li Jing before shaking his head.

"No, you haven’t reached the Return to Origin, and it’s impossible for you to reach it."

"Should that be enough to take care of you?"

Li Jing stood up and waved his hand to disperse the table made of Blood Qi. He casually handed half-eaten melon in his hand to Xiang Yunxian.

"Sister Yunxian, please step aside. I’ll deal with this remnant soul first."

Before his words fell, the phantom of the Emperor of Heaven, like a foam shadow, melted and seeped into Nalan Longao’s body.

?

Li Jing was baffled.

Is he trying to escape?

That’s not right!

Nalan Longao was also puzzled with the dispersal of the Emperor of Heaven’s phantom. But he soon sensed something wrong and his expression turned into one of horror.

"Ancestor! What are you trying to do...."

Before he could finish his sentence, Nalan Longao’s speech faltered, his eyes lost their light, and life faded from him. He turned into a corpse and fell from the sky.

The disaster struck so suddenly that Xiang Yunxian was dumbfounded on the spot.

After all, Nalan Longao was her past lover.

She was not cruel enough to wish for his death just because her heart had turned cold.

The sudden departure of a person was indeed shocking to her....

At this sudden turn of events, Li Jing furrowed his brows slightly.

"Possession?"

"It’s just a temporary measure, this frail body of my descendant can’t bear the majesty of me, the Emperor."

The voice of the Emperor of Heaven resounded.

At the same time.

Nalan Longao, whose body was already cold and almost fell to the ground, opened his eyes, hovering in the air, and then slowly floated up.

"You do indeed have some abilities. In the past, the path to the Upper Three Realms was forcefully severed by a Human Saint who was willing to suffer from the Taoist backlash. The rule for the beings of the Big World to strive for the Return to Origin was also severed. The fundamental reason why no one in the Immortal Realm has stepped into the Return to Origin Realm after so many years of development is that the rule was broken."

The Emperor of Heaven calmly spoke, looking directly at him.

"The path forward was cut off, but you managed to take this step. Although you did not succeed, it was something ordinary people couldn’t do. You are stronger than I was back then."

"Thank you for the compliment, please proceed."

Li Jing responded, taking back the melon he had just given to Xiang Yunxian.

"..."

Xiang Yunxian.

Li Jing’s behaviour...

He was truly carefree!

Such a terrifying opponent was right in front of him, and he still had the mood to continue eating his melon.

But you know what?

This melon was really sweet!

The Emperor of Heaven’s words had directly uncovered the fundamental reason why no one in the Immortal Realm had broken through the Return to Origin for millions of years, which even involved a Human Saint!

Saint...

For the people in the Immortal Realm, it was nothing more than a legend that nobody dared to confirm.

Below.

Fusheng and the other eight people had already stopped their grave-digging.

They were not stupid.

Through the Emperor of Heaven’s words, they were sure that the real tomb owner had risen from the dead.

Now the man was up in the sky, how dare they continue to rob his grave?

At this moment, after hearing the Emperor’s words, Fusheng and the other eight people were all ears.

So, the reason no one in the Immortal Realm had stepped beyond the Venerable was because the rule was broken!

No wonder!

When the rule was broken.

It didn’t mean there were restrictions or fetters; the corresponding realm could be sensed clearly.

Let’s take Blue Star as an example.

The limit of Blue Star was the Ninth Realm.

As soon as one reached the threshold of a breakthrough in the late stage of the Eighth Realm, they naturally felt the constraints and limitations of the Heavenly Path.

If someone exceeds the Ninth Realm on the Blue Star territory, they will instinctively sense that they shouldn’t stay there.

However, a broken rule was a different matter.

The path leading to the Return to Origin was essentially still there.

It was just blocked.

So, those who had reached the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm, or the Alien Species, could still see the higher constellation, and could see the hope of the further step, but no one could take that step.

This revelation was nothing short of explosive.

Fusheng and the others looked forward to what the Emperor of Heaven would say next.

Seeing that Li Jing in front of him started eating the melon, while Xiang Yunxian and Fusheng and the other eight people below were staring eagerly at him, the Emperor of Heaven was somewhat at a loss.

These people.

What did they mean?

He had risen from the dead and possessed a body, but they weren’t joining forces to fight the powerful enemy?

The most outrageous one.

Without a doubt, was Li Jing.

Asking him to continue talking...

They were in a battle, weren’t they?
