Ghost Nether Mansion Visits, Ghost Nether Son Arrives in Person

Mu Qiuxue naturally wanted to know.

Every night, the ink-black world appeared as bright as day in her eyes.

Only the moon in the sky told her that it was nighttime!

Before entering the Cultivation World, this question had troubled her for a long time.

Mortals needed sleep, after all. If everywhere was daytime, it greatly affected her rest.

Over time, her body had grown increasingly frail.

In the end, she decided to embark upon the immortal path!

After countless hardships, she arrived at Kaoshan Sect and participated in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

She had ultimately become a disciple under True Lord Xiaxuan!

After becoming a cultivator, although the problem remained unresolved, she had become less dependent on sleep.

She could cultivate instead of sleeping, resolving this vexation.

Mu Qiuxue had discussed this strange matter with True Lord Xiaxuan.

Yet True Lord Xiaxuan had not found its cause.

Afterward, Mu Qiuxue gradually forgot about it.

Only when Hua Yunfei suddenly mentioned it did she recall that such a thing seemed to have happened.

"Of course I want to know, but... even Master does not understand what is going on."

Mu Qiuxue said.

"The Dark Night Immortal Body."

Hua Yunfei smiled. "Have you heard of it?"

"The Dark Night Immortal Body?"

Mu Qiuxue shook her head. She had never heard of it.

Ye Bufan asked, "Master, could this Dark Night Immortal Body be some special physique, like mine? But why have I never heard of it?"

"It is perfectly normal that you have not."

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 complete.

Mu Qiuxue's, on the other hand, was extremely incomplete.

This was a secret tale, merely a legend. Hua Yunfei had only learned of it by chance, so it was normal for True Lord Xiaxuan not to know.

Hua Yunfei himself had initially believed it was only a legend.

After all, a million years had passed. It was difficult to verify whether Eternal Night Great Emperor's story was true or false.

Those who truly knew the facts might have been only the Imperial Court itself.

Yet they rarely showed themselves.

Even Supreme Dao Holy Lands feared them!

Because they were true assassins!

Rumor had it that they had assassinated experts at the level of Ancient Great Emperors!

Though no one believed it, it still made countless people quake 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. Its origin is not whole, making it difficult for you to truly unleash the Dark Night Immortal Body's power."

Then he changed the subject. "However, in Arid State, even an incomplete Dark Night Immortal Body is enough."

Mu Qiuxue became somewhat excited, her little face flushing red. "Then how can I use the Dark Night Immortal Body?"

Even if it was far inferior to Eternal Night Great Emperor's Dark Night Immortal Body, she was still tremendously excited.

Special physiques were what all cultivators dreamed of.

They offered a tremendous boost in battle power, made one's future cultivation path clearer, and made cultivation easier.

"It is simple. Just activate it."

"How do I activate it?"

Mu Qiuxue looked at Hua Yunfei expectantly.

Master often said that her martial nephew, True Lord Dao Origin, was the most mysterious person in Kaoshan Sect—possessing countless treasures, unique insight, astonishing talent, and formidable cultivation.

Now that she saw him, her Master had understated it. By quite a lot.

At a glance, he had seen that she possessed a special physique and even identified it precisely. Such insight was rare beneath the heavens!

"Hehe."

Hua Yunfei said, "Stand still. It will be over soon."

He raised two fingers and guided a streak of light into Mu Qiuxue's navel.

"Mm..."

Mu Qiuxue let out a muffled groan. Her willow brows furrowed slightly, and her expression showed some pain.

But she knew Hua Yunfei was helping her, so she could not resist.

Very soon, Ye Bufan, who stood to the side, noticed that Mu Qiuxue seemed to have gained something.

It was... something like his own.

It existed within 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 and amounted to only a tiny trace.

A special aura enveloped Mu Qiuxue's entire body. Though she stood right there, if one did not look carefully, it was as though she could not be seen at all!

And this was in daylight. At night, she could likely merge completely 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 no more difficult for him than lifting a finger.

But for the entire sect, gaining another disciple with a Dark Night Immortal Body carried great significance!

Once Mu Qiuxue grew stronger in the future, 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!"

Mu Qiuxue sensed the Immortal Body Origin within her and was utterly stunned.

She felt that her strength had doubled, making her far more powerful than before!

And this was with the Immortal Body Origin being so extremely incomplete. If one day she could make up for the missing origin...

"Thank you, Peak Master True Person!"

Mu Qiuxue hurriedly bowed and spoke excitedly.

"No need to be so polite."

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 no worse yourself. The Primordial Sacred Body can battle a Great Emperor!"

Mu Qiuxue patted Ye Bufan's shoulder, delighted beyond measure.

She had truly come to Dao Origin Peak at the right time.

"Hehe, Senior Sister flatters me." Ye Bufan was not quite accustomed to speaking with Mu Qiuxue, and his words carried a hint 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 etched it into her heart.

Kaoshan Sect's mountain gate.

A man suddenly appeared. He wore Black Chainmail, had a tall build, a stern and imposing face, and eyes that commanded awe without anger.

Ghost Nether Son, Mansion Lord of Ghost Nether Mansion!

Elder Shi, who had been punished by True Lord Tianji, was still miserably standing guard.

It was his big mouth that had let slip the matter of True Lord Tianji getting his chrysanthemum blasted.

The matter had spread throughout Kaoshan Sect, causing True Lord Tianji to lose all face.

Before leaving, True Lord Tianji had punished him by making him guard the sect for a year, so that he could repent and reflect!

Still, it was only gatekeeping, so life was rather comfortable.

But upon seeing Ghost Nether Son—

Elder Shi's expression abruptly changed. He swiftly rose to his feet and said nervously, "May I ask why Senior Ghost Nether Son has come personally to Kaoshan Sect?"

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, certainly."

The sect was currently at its weakest, and Elder Shi did not dare be careless.

Ghost Nether Son was sinister and ruthless, no righteous figure. Inviting him into Kaoshan Sect without even asking his purpose would be no different from inviting a wolf into the house!

"But since you have come so suddenly, you should at least give us 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 an ugly smile onto his face. "Indeed, Ghost Nether Mansion and Kaoshan Sect have not gotten along for more than a day or two..."

"So... today, there should be an end to it!"

The hand behind his back suddenly shot forward, seizing Elder Shi by the throat and lifting him into the air. He gave a cold chuckle.

"A mere cultivator at the early Divine Infant Realm dares block This Seat's path!"
