Of course Mu Qiuxue wanted to know.
Every night, the heavens and earth, black as ink, appeared as bright as day in her eyes.
Only the moon in the sky told her that it was nighttime!
Before stepping into the Cultivation World, this question had troubled her for a long time.
Mortals needed sleep, after all. If it was daytime everywhere, it greatly affected her sleep.
As time passed, her body grew increasingly frail.
In the end, she decided to embark on the immortal path!
After countless hardships, she arrived at Kaoshan Sect and took part in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.
In the end, she successfully became True Lord Xiaxuan's disciple!
After becoming a cultivator, although the problem still had not been resolved, she relied less on sleep.
She could replace sleep with cultivation to solve this annoyance.
Mu Qiuxue had discussed this strange matter with True Lord Xiaxuan.
Yet True Lord Xiaxuan had failed to find the cause.
Afterward, Mu Qiuxue gradually forgot about it.
Only when Hua Yunfei suddenly mentioned it did she remember that such a thing seemed to have happened.
"Of course I want to know, but... even Master doesn't understand what is going on."
Mu Qiuxue said.
"Dark Night Immortal Body."
Hua Yunfei smiled. "Have you heard of it?"
"Dark Night Immortal Body?"
Mu Qiuxue shook her head. She had never heard of it.
Ye Bufan asked, "Peak Master, could this Dark Night Immortal Body be some special physique, like mine? But why have I never heard of it?"
"It is normal that you haven't heard of it."
The Dark Night Immortal Body had only appeared once.
The Assassin Dynasty—Imperial Court's First Generation Holy Lord, Eternal Night Great Emperor!
His physique had been the Dark Night Immortal Body!
Of course, Eternal Night Great Emperor's Dark Night Immortal Body had been flawless and perfect.
Mu Qiuxue's, however, was extremely incomplete.
This was a secret tale, merely a legend. Hua Yunfei had only learned of it by chance, so it was perfectly normal that True Lord Xiaxuan did not know.
Originally, Hua Yunfei had also thought it was only a legend.
After all, a million years had passed, and it was difficult to verify whether Eternal Night Great Emperor's story was true or false.
The ones who truly knew the facts were perhaps only the Imperial Court itself.
Yet they rarely showed themselves.
Even Supreme Dao Holy Lands feared them!
Because they were true assassins!
Legend had it that they had assassinated Ancient Great Emperor-level experts!
Though no one believed it, it still made countless people tremble at the mere mention of them!
Hua Yunfei roughly explained it to the two of them, then said:
"Qiuxue, although your physique is very powerful, it is incomplete. Your origin is imperfect, making it difficult for you to truly unleash the Dark Night Immortal Body's strength."
Then he changed the subject. "However, in Arid State, even an incomplete Dark Night Immortal Body is enough."
Mu Qiuxue was a little excited, her small face flushed red. "Then how can I use the Dark Night Immortal Body?"
Even though it was far inferior to Eternal Night Great Emperor's Dark Night Immortal Body, she was still thrilled.
Special physiques were something every cultivator dreamed of.
They greatly enhanced combat power, gave one a clearer direction for future cultivation, and made cultivation easier.
"It is simple. Just activate it."
"How do I activate it?"
Mu Qiuxue looked at Hua Yunfei expectantly.
Her master often said that her martial nephew, True Lord Dao Origin, was Kaoshan Sect's most mysterious person, possessing countless treasures, unique insight, astonishing talent, and powerful cultivation.
Now that she saw it for herself, that praise had been too modest—far too modest.
With one glance, he had seen that she possessed a special physique and even named it precisely. Such insight was rare in this world!
"Hehe."
Hua Yunfei said, "Stand still. It will be over soon."
He brought two fingers together and pointed. A streak of light struck Mu Qiuxue's navel.
"Mm..."
Mu Qiuxue let out a muffled groan. Her willow brows furrowed slightly, and pain appeared on her face.
But she knew Hua Yunfei was helping her, so she could not resist.
Very soon, Ye Bufan, who stood nearby, noticed that Mu Qiuxue seemed to have gained something.
It was... something like what he had.
It existed in her abdomen, profound and unfathomable, a kind of Dao law.
His was the Sacred Body Origin.
Mu Qiuxue's was the Dark Night Immortal Body Origin, though it was extremely incomplete, with only a tiny trace remaining.
A special aura enveloped Mu Qiuxue's entire body. She was clearly standing there, yet if one did not look carefully, it was as though she could not be seen at all!
And this was still daytime. If it were nighttime, she would likely be able to completely blend into the darkness.
A born assassin!
Hua Yunfei withdrew his hand and stood with his hands behind his back. Activating the Dark Night Immortal Body Origin within Mu Qiuxue was, to him, merely the lift of a hand, effortless as blowing away dust.
But for the entire sect, having one more disciple with the Dark Night Immortal Body carried great significance!
Once Mu Qiuxue grew up, the sect's Ancestral Tomb would gain another powerful foundation.
The stronger the sect became, the safer and more secure his life in Kaoshan Sect would be.
His sense of security was overflowing.
"So this is the Dark Night Immortal Body!"
Feeling the Immortal Body Origin within her, Mu Qiuxue was utterly shocked.
She felt that her strength had doubled, making her far stronger than before!
And this was under the condition that her Immortal Body Origin was extremely incomplete. If one day she could make up for the missing origin...
"Thank you, Peak Master True Person!"
Mu Qiuxue hurriedly bowed, speaking excitedly.
"No need to be so courteous."
Hua Yunfei waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
To him, it had merely been a matter of moving a finger.
Ye Bufan said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Mu, on awakening the Dark Night Immortal Body. In the future, you will surely become one of Arid State's top experts!"
"Hehe, you are not bad either. The Primordial Sacred Body can battle Great Emperors!"
Mu Qiuxue patted Ye Bufan on the shoulder, delighted beyond measure.
She had truly come to Dao Origin Peak this time.
"Hehe, Senior Sister, you flatter me." Ye Bufan was not quite used to speaking with Mu Qiuxue, and his words carried a trace of awkwardness.
"Qiuxue."
Hua Yunfei said, "The Dark Night Immortal Body's Dark Aptitude is exceptionally powerful. Although your origin is incomplete, you still possess Dao Tier Top Grade dark aptitude. In the future, you must cultivate Dark Attribute Arts."
"Yes, Qiuxue will remember it well."
"You possess the Dark Night Immortal Body. You are a top-tier assassin! Remember that at all times!"
"I am an assassin!"
Mu Qiuxue firmly engraved it in her heart.
Kaoshan Sect's mountain gate.
A person suddenly appeared. He wore Black Chainmail, had a towering build, a stern and imposing face, and eyes that radiated authority even without anger.
Ghost Nether Mansion's Mansion Lord, Ghost Nether Son!
Elder Shi, who had been punished by True Lord Tianji, was still miserably standing guard.
He had been the blabbermouth who leaked the matter of True Lord Tianji having his chrysanthemum blasted.
It had spread throughout Kaoshan Sect, causing True Lord Tianji to lose all face.
Before leaving, True Lord Tianji had punished him to guard the sect for a year, reflect, and repent!
Still, merely guarding the gate made for a rather comfortable life.
But the moment he saw Ghost Nether Son.
Elder Shi's expression suddenly changed. He swiftly rose to his feet and asked nervously, "May I ask why Senior Ghost Nether Son has come to Kaoshan Sect in person?"
Ghost Nether Son clasped his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and said, "Is this how Kaoshan Sect treats its guests? Is This Seat's status not enough to enter and have a cup of tea?"
"It is enough."
The sect was at its most vulnerable now, so Elder Shi did not dare let down his guard.
Ghost Nether Son was sinister and vicious, no righteous figure. To invite him into Kaoshan Sect without asking his purpose would be no different from inviting a wolf into the house!
"But since you have suddenly arrived, you should at least give a reason, should you not? After all, you know the relationship between Kaoshan Sect and Ghost Nether Mansion." Elder Shi said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Then he said to a disciple beside him, "Go invite True Lord Xiaxuan and True Lord Dao Origin. Tell them Ghost Nether Son has suddenly arrived."
Ghost Nether Son ignored the disciple who went to deliver the message and forced out an ugly smile. "Indeed, Ghost Nether Mansion and Kaoshan Sect have not gotten along for more than a day or two..."
"So... today, there should be a final reckoning!"
The hand behind his back suddenly shot forward, seizing Elder Shi by the throat and lifting him up. He gave a cold chuckle and said:
"A mere Divine Infant Realm early-stage cultivator dares block This Seat's path!"
