True Lord Xiaxuan stared at Ye Bufan again and again.
"Golden Meridians, veins like Divine Iron!"
"Golden Blood Qi, blood like a Golden Ocean, surging like Sky-Shaking Waves!"
"Primordial Sacred Body!"
Though True Lord Xiaxuan was already several hundred years old, such an age was nothing to a cultivator. She looked only thirty.
Her skin was fair, her features beautiful, and her figure slightly plump—full and charming. Her hair was pinned up with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a Daoist robe, giving her a unique flavor.
But at this moment, she had completely lost her composure.
She had heard of the might of the Primordial Sacred Body ever since childhood.
It was an existence capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with a Human Great Emperor!
The woman beside her also rose to her feet upon hearing this. Shock covered her face, and her beautiful features were filled with astonishment as she stared fixedly at Ye Bufan.
"Slurp..."
Hua Yunfei calmly took a sip of tea, looking relaxed and wholly unconcerned.
When Dao Yi Immortal Sect had discovered Ye Bufan back then, it must have been the same scene.
Unfortunately, their abilities had been lacking. They believed that the Primordial Sacred Body's glory had faded, that its path had already been severed, and that it could not cultivate.
They had missed out on a monstrous Heavenly Prodigy for nothing!
Fortunately, Ye Bufan possessed Golden Destiny and had encountered him!
Otherwise, even if he had encountered a Supreme Dao Holy Land level force, without the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, all their efforts would have been in vain.
In this world, only Hua Yunfei could rebuild the severed path of the Primordial Sacred Body!
True Lord Xiaxuan voiced the doubt in her heart. "Nephew, wasn't the Primordial Sacred Body unable to cultivate? Why...?"
Ye Bufan had already reached the Meridian Opening Realm Ninth Layer. He was in the Meridian Opening Realm Late Stage and was about to reach the Perfection Realm!
Moreover, from her observations, Ye Bufan's cultivation was still rising. At this moment, he had entered a state of enlightenment!
He looked nothing like someone unable to cultivate.
"Hehe, just a minor trick."
Hua Yunfei smiled faintly and said, "In truth, the Primordial Sacred Body is not unable to cultivate. It simply needs the right medicine for the right ailment."
"Master, this Dao Origin Peak Master is so mysterious—and so young and accomplished too."
The young woman beside True Lord Xiaxuan spoke softly.
True Lord Xiaxuan composed herself and sat back down. "This is my youngest disciple, Mu Qiuxue. You have not met her before. She has cultivated at Lower Profound Peak all these years and rarely goes out."
A Peak Master's disciple was a true disciple!
The core of the sect.
Hua Yunfei sized her up.
Mu Qiuxue had sweet looks and exquisite features. She wore a white dress, her hair tied in a ponytail, youthful and radiant.
[Name: Mu Qiuxue] [Age: Twenty-Four] [Realm: Core Formation Realm Second Layer (surface) Core Formation Realm Fourth Layer (actual)] [Identity: Kaoshan Sect Lower Profound Peak True Disciple] [Cultivation Aptitude: Dao Tier Low Grade Aptitude] [Other Talents: Dao Tier Top Grade Dark Talent, Heaven Tier Top Grade Sword Dao Talent, Heaven Tier Mid Grade Talisman Dao Aptitude] [Physique: Dark Night Immortal Body (Extremely Incomplete) (Unawakened)] [Technique: Life-Forgetting Art (No Grade, Kaoshan Sect inherited technique) Unseen Breath Concealment Technique (Sect inherited concealment technique) Vast Sword Art (Heaven Tier Top Grade)] [Divine Ability: None] [Artifact: Vast Sea Sword (Core Formation Realm artifact)] [Destiny: Green]
Dark Night Immortal Body?
Hua Yunfei was startled inwardly.
This was also a top-tier physique.
Legend had it that the First Generation Holy Lord of the Big Dipper Star's greatest Assassin Dynasty possessed the Dark Night Immortal Body!
A physique born solely for hunting and killing!
However, Mu Qiuxue's physique was extremely incomplete and nowhere near so terrifying.
Even so incomplete, the Dark Night Talent that came with it had reached the astonishing Dao Tier Top Grade!
Even the Holy Sons of those Holy Land Level Forces had talents no better than this.
Mu Qiuxue seemingly had not discovered that she possessed the Dark Night Immortal Body.
She had noticed even less that her dark talent was far more powerful than the Sword Dao Talent she currently cultivated!
"Senior Aunt, your little disciple has quite good aptitude!"
Hua Yunfei praised her sincerely.
"I originally thought her talent was quite good, but after seeing your disciple..."
True Lord Xiaxuan had originally been extremely proud of Mu Qiuxue's talent and had nurtured her as a precious treasure.
But after seeing Ye Bufan, she had suffered a heavy blow.
The gap was far too great!
In the future, Kaoshan Sect's Ancestral Tomb would likely gain another powerful foundation.
"Senior Aunt, there is no need to be like this."
Hua Yunfei chuckled. "Dao Tier Low Grade Aptitude can be considered the talent of a Heavenly Prodigy throughout the entire Big Dipper Star!"
He was speaking the truth.
The Heavenly Dao had now entered the Age of Dharma's End.
Perhaps Dao Tier Qualification had been nothing more than a younger brother in the past, but now it was absolutely a rare and powerful aptitude.
Many Holy Sons and Saintesses of Holy Land Level Forces possessed no more than Dao Tier Top Grade Aptitude.
"Nephew, you could actually see Qiuxue's aptitude at a glance?"
True Lord Xiaxuan was somewhat surprised. She had not mentioned Mu Qiuxue's aptitude, yet Hua Yunfei had seen through it.
Hua Yunfei's expression remained unchanged as he smiled. "I merely know a little eye technique divine ability. It allows me to see the rough talents of others. Just a petty trick."
"Oh?"
True Lord Xiaxuan did not pursue the matter further and simply nodded.
"I wonder..."
Hua Yunfei asked, "Why has Senior Aunt brought Qiuxue here today?"
True Lord Xiaxuan also got straight to the point. "Dao Origin Peak has rich Spiritual Energy, and Qiuxue possesses great talent. I cannot bear to let her most golden years of cultivation be delayed."
"Therefore, your senior aunt wishes for her to cultivate here for a period of time. I wonder whether nephew could make an exception?"
There was a note of pleading in her voice.
Hua Yunfei was taken aback.
Stay at Dao Origin Peak to cultivate?
He hesitated. Dao Origin Peak had too many heavenly treasures and too many secrets.
It was not that he feared treasures being stolen. It was simply that compared to Dao Origin Peak, Lower Profound Peak was no more than a village.
Once Mu Qiuxue grew accustomed to the cultivation environment here, she would probably find it difficult to adapt after returning to Lower Profound Peak.
Besides, having a woman living at Dao Origin Peak was a little...
Hua Yunfei found himself in a difficult position, yet it was not easy to refuse.
The various peaks of Kaoshan Sect were as close as one family. If he refused, it would seem somewhat cold and heartless.
Moreover, True Lord Xiaxuan had treated him well since childhood and had a good relationship with his father.
If he refused, his father's side would likely be unable to save face as well.
As a junior, no matter what, he had to give face in such a minor matter.
"Then let Qiuxue remain at Dao Origin Peak and cultivate for a while."
Hua Yunfei ultimately agreed.
Yet inwardly, he still hoped Mu Qiuxue would go home sooner.
With a woman around, he would feel very uncomfortable.
True Lord Xiaxuan rose and smiled. "Then I thank you."
Mu Qiuxue bent slightly in a salute. "Thank you, Dao Origin Peak Master."
"No need for this. We are family; it is only a small matter."
Hua Yunfei waved his hand carelessly.
After True Lord Xiaxuan left, Hua Yunfei found Mu Qiuxue a place to stay near Ye Bufan.
Night fell.
Ye Bufan was still in meditation. Golden blood qi rolled around him like a vast ocean, surging upward and rushing toward the sky.
At this moment, his realm had already broken through to the Core Formation Realm First Layer!
An Origin Core Realm had condensed within his body, and Spiritual Energy had transformed into Spiritual Power!
"Worthy of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture!"
Hua Yunfei clicked his tongue in wonder. A technique created by a Great Emperor-level sacred body was indeed powerful.
He sat not far away, savoring tea as he watched with great satisfaction.
Having an outstanding disciple truly made one feel proud and honored as a master.
This feeling was quite nice.
He even somewhat wanted to take in another disciple to show off... ahem... to nurture one.
