Di Tian Reveals His Identity, Immaculate Body

Looking at Uncle Tian and Aunt Bi before him, Su Yu understood that the two of them were likely about to come clean with him.

Sure enough, Uncle Tian spoke. "Yu'er, we have never told you our true identities."

"Actually, neither Aunt Bi nor I are human. I am the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King with more than eight hundred thousand years of cultivation. Humans generally call me—the Beast God Di Tian."

"And your Aunt Bi is named Bi Ji. Her true form is a five-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year-old Jade Celestial Swan, the most powerful healing-type Soul Beast and one of the rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"We never told you because we had been living in the human world and feared causing unnecessary trouble."

"And although you are human, you are actually the reincarnation of the Dragon God, the oldest and greatest being of our Soul Beast race."

"That is also why we have always cared for you."

"Now that we have come to the Star Dou Great Forest, there is no need to hide it from you anymore."

Uncle Tian poured it all out in one breath, his golden pupils fixed on Su Yu.

Su Yu displayed just the right amount of shock, his pupils widening slightly.

"So this is Uncle Tian and Aunt Bi's true identity."

Su Yu murmured distractedly, as if the news had dealt him quite a blow.

"We know that after hearing this, you may find it difficult to accept for a while, but—"

"Uncle Tian, Aunt Bi, I don't find it hard to accept. I'm just a little surprised."

Su Yu raised his head, his little face solemn and earnest. "No matter what identities Uncle Tian and Aunt Bi have, you are my family."

Su Yu's voice was firm and resolute, filled with an undeniable conviction.

Perhaps those words were partly driven by the circumstances. After all, one had to say what the situation called for.

But they also contained Su Yu's sincere feelings.

Their six years of care had been real, and they had never treated him poorly in the slightest.

If not for them raising him, Su Yu might have died long ago.

No matter who they were, they were his family.

There was no question about it!

Hearing Su Yu's words, both Di Tian and Bi Ji smiled. Bi Ji's gaze was especially gentle, soft as water.

Su Yu had not disappointed them after all.

Di Tian even reached out and patted Su Yu on the shoulder. "Yu'er, if you have any more questions, just ask. Uncle Tian will tell you everything he knows."

"Uncle Tian, I do have a question."

Su Yu looked up at Di Tian and asked, "Uncle Tian, since you say I am the Dragon God Reincarnation, why didn't you keep me in the Star Dou Great Forest? Why did you take me to the human world to raise me?"

If he had grown up in the Star Dou Great Forest from childhood, wouldn't his sense of belonging have been stronger?

He did not believe these kings among Soul Beasts could have failed to consider something so simple.

"Although you are the Dragon God Reincarnation, after reincarnating, you are still human in the end."

"The environment of the Star Dou Great Forest is not suitable for a human infant to survive in."

"Besides, we have no experience raising children."

"That is why we took you to the human world."

Di Tian explained each point in turn.

"I see."

Su Yu understood.

Even newborn Soul Beast cubs in the Star Dou Great Forest could quickly gain combat strength within a month or two. All one could say was that they matured quickly.

But he was human. Human children grew slowly and were fragile, and this primitive land of the Star Dou Great Forest was not suited to his growth.

Di Tian and the others had also been afraid that he would die young.

Only after undergoing Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six would he possess the ability to protect himself.

That was why they had brought him back after he awakened his Martial Soul at six.

First, at six years old, he was easier to care for and less likely to die young.

Second, it would make teaching him more convenient. Third, it was likely to cultivate his feelings toward the Soul Beast race.

After all, at six, he was still young, and his values had yet to mature. It would not be difficult to shape them.

All that could be said was that they had truly thought everything through.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Di Tian asked.

Su Yu shook his head.

"Very well. Then get some proper rest. Bi Ji, take good care of him."

Di Tian nodded to Bi Ji.

Bi Ji understood and reached out to ruffle Su Yu's hair.

Su Yu lowered his head, looking as though he were deep in thought.

By then, Di Tian had already left. Bi Ji crouched down, rubbing Su Yu's head with eyes as gentle as water.

"Yu'er, are you still concerned about your identity?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"Then are you worried about living in the Star Dou Great Forest from now on?"

Su Yu neither confirmed nor denied it.

Bi Ji smiled gently and said softly, "Yu'er, there is no need to worry. You are the Dragon God's reincarnation. No one here would dare bully you."

"You are the hope of the Soul Beast race. Every Soul Beast here will only respect you. If anyone dares disrespect you, Di Tian will punish them."

"Trust Aunt Bi. You will be very happy here."

"Mm!"

Su Yu gave a soft hum.

Seeing this, Bi Ji smiled faintly and pulled Su Yu into her embrace.

Soon, afternoon arrived.

Su Yu sat beside the Lake of Life, meditating with his eyes closed.

A faint glow emanated from his body, carrying a trace of chill.

Within him, the inner force of the Supreme God Art was circulating rapidly.

After obtaining his first Soul Ring, Su Yu's level had broken through to the thirteenth rank of Soul Master.

At that moment, the Soul Power circulating within him was clearly much faster than before he had obtained his Soul Ring.

At the same time, having broken through to Soul Master, the Supreme God Art had naturally advanced to its first level as well.

Every time the Supreme God Art advanced by one level, it would produce a unique ability.

The ability of its first level was called the Immaculate Body.

The so-called Immaculate Body did not mean that there was truly not a speck of dirt on one's body.

As long as a person still ate food, they could not claim that there was not the slightest impurity within their body.

The Immaculate Body referred to a state.

One had to know that while a person was still in the womb, their physique was theoretically at its purest.

But once they were born and tainted by acquired impurities, the innate qi within their body would gradually dissipate.

The so-called Immaculate Body was the ability to avoid the disturbance of acquired impurities, allowing one to restore the state of innate fetal breathing from within the womb.

In this state of fetal breathing, cultivation would yield twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, all manner of spiritual senses would also be enhanced.

That was the true meaning of the Immaculate Body of the Supreme God Art.

This Immaculate Body trait of the Supreme God Art was actually extremely useful.

Its effects might not be apparent in the short term, but as time passed—

Su Yu would open up an enormous gap between himself and everyone else.

As long as he continued cultivating, Su Yu's strength would naturally surpass geniuses of the same rank over time.

It could be said that he had truly won at the starting line from the very beginning.
