Initial Physique Unsealing, Innate Gold Element

The system actually understood his preferences quite well. The two sword techniques it had given him were both extremely cool.

"Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens" was an exquisitely beautiful sword technique. When used, it made one seem like a Banished Immortal descending upon the mortal world.

"Sword Separating Worlds" possessed another kind of coolness. Its appeal lay in its decisiveness and clean efficiency. It was a true instant-kill technique, immensely powerful, carrying the essence of breaking through ten thousand techniques with a single sword strike.

"Sword Separating Worlds" came from the world of Demonic Sword Life-Death Chess. That world could be considered a high-martial world, already somewhat fantastical in nature.

"Sword Separating Worlds" was one of the three great extraordinary arts of that world. Every time it appeared, it almost always slew its enemy with a single strike. Its power was extraordinarily great.

In the system's classification, "Sword Separating Worlds" was an Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, and even among Earth-tier Low-grade techniques, its power was absolutely outstanding. If not for its fatal flaw, its rating might have been even higher.

Lu Yunxiao had obtained this sword technique when he first completed an achievement.

At that time, he had killed a first-tier Magical Beast and completed the achievement of killing an opponent above his level. Becoming a Dou Zhe counted as his second completed achievement.

His system did not have much flashy nonsense. It had only two functions.

The first was the achievement module. This module had no missions and no prompts. The only thing one could rely on was the Host himself. Whatever achievement he completed, he would receive the corresponding reward.

The second was the check-in function. The system would issue some Check-in Missions, and completing them would earn rewards. But despite saying that, over all these years, the system had never issued a single Check-in Mission. He had no idea when it would finally release one.

After stretching his limbs, Lu Yunxiao withdrew his mind from his thoughts and looked at the sheathed longsword in his hand.

The Flying Rainbow Sword—this was Ye Gucheng's personal sword. In his world, it had been an unquestionable divine weapon. Even in the Dou Qi Continent, while it was not top-tier, its Fourth Grade Initial quality still showed that it had a place of its own.

At the very least, within the Jia Ma Empire, it could be considered quite a fine weapon.

With a ringing shing, Lu Yunxiao drew his sword. The sound of the blade's cry resounded as the Flying Rainbow Sword stood proudly in the air.

Lu Yunxiao looked it over and saw that the Flying Rainbow Sword's body was elegant and handsome, its sword qi icy and piercing. Upon its beautiful, autumn-water-like blade lingered a faint shadow of rosy clouds, which was also the origin of the name Flying Rainbow.

Its edge was incomparably sharp. As its cold light flickered, it could cut gold and jade, slice through iron like mud.

Lu Yunxiao casually swung it, and sword shadows fluttered through the air. Streams of sword qi burst forth, leaving shallow marks across the ground. Though exceedingly faint, they were still visible to the naked eye.

This was the charm of a divine weapon. Even though Lu Yunxiao had barely used any Dou Qi, it could still release threads of sword qi. This was the enhancement effect inherent to the weapon itself.

"What a fine sword. It is far stronger than my Fine Steel Sword. Using it will greatly enhance my strength. As expected, a good weapon is immensely useful to a martial artist."

Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly and praised it. After examining the Flying Rainbow Sword once more, he sheathed it and put it away.

Breaking through to Dou Zhe was only the first step. There was still something important he needed to do next.

"System, begin. Prepare to break the seal."

Lu Yunxiao spoke in his mind.

Ever since learning that his physique had been sealed, he had waited far too long for this moment.

His physique was called the Innate Elemental Physique, also known as the Innate Elemental Dao Body or the Innate Elemental Supreme Body. According to the system, it was one of the most supreme physiques of the human race.

The Innate Elemental Physique encompassed all elements. It was born with unparalleled affinity for the elements, capable of controlling all kinds of Elemental Power, and possessed numerous innate divine abilities of boundless power.

Moreover, the Innate Elemental Physique was naturally close to the Dao and possessed exceptional talent in comprehending it.

If cultivated step by step, its future would be incomparably vast.

However, because his previous life had been born in an age of spiritual decline, where spiritual qi had vanished and the path of cultivation had been severed, the Innate Elemental Physique had become a pearl covered in dust, bound beneath a firmly placed seal.

Only by gradually breaking these seals could the divine might of the Innate Elemental Physique be restored.

The system's current seal-breaking would only remove a small portion. Once it was broken, he would be able to free one element and cultivate it.

That element could be light, lightning, wood, or earth. Everything depended on fate, because the system's breaking of the seal this time was entirely random.

"Host, before the seal is broken, can you tell me which element you want to unseal?"

The system's voice sounded in Lu Yunxiao's mind.

"Didn't you say it was random?" Lu Yunxiao asked.

"It is random. I'm just asking out of curiosity." The system laughed in a soft voice.

"I thought you were about to tell me that you could control which one got unsealed. What a wasted burst of joy."

Lu Yunxiao rolled his eyes, then his expression turned serious. "Any element would do, really. But if I had to choose one, it would definitely be fire. After all, the Heavenly Flames of the Dou Qi Continent are famous far and wide. If I unseal the Fire Element first, perhaps I can grow faster."

"The Fire Element, huh? Just as I expected. Hehe, then we'll see how your luck turns out, Host."

The system chuckled, and then an icy voice rang out.

"The unsealing of the Innate Elemental Physique has begun!"

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have successfully unsealed the Gold Element."

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

It hadn't unsealed the Fire Element again, so what the hell was there to congratulate him for?

But that thought had only just crossed his mind before he could voice it, when a powerful force suddenly surged from the depths of Lu Yunxiao's body.

Golden light rose from within Lu Yunxiao's body, then swiftly enveloped him from head to toe. The brilliant golden radiance illuminated the somewhat dim secret chamber until it was bright as day.

Golden energy flowed through every meridian in Lu Yunxiao's body. His bones and organs were all stained with a rich golden hue.

Every strand of milky-white Dou Qi within his body rapidly transformed into golden Gold-attribute Dou Qi. Even the originally milky-white Dou Qi Cyclone was dyed gold at this moment.

"Interesting. This Gold-attribute Dou Qi really is tyrannical. No, it shouldn't be called Gold-attribute Dou Qi. Innate Gold Qi would perhaps be more appropriate."

Feeling the golden Dou Qi coursing wildly through his body, Lu Yunxiao could not help muttering to himself. The power of this Innate Gold Element Dou Qi was indeed astonishing, especially the terrifying sharpness contained within it.

If this Dou Qi did not belong to him and thus have very little effect on him, and if he had not tempered his meridians over five years until they were incomparably tough, then he truly might not have been able to withstand this suddenly surging Innate Gold Qi.

There would be another chapter later today!
