Successfully Arrived, This Is the Body Sect!

By the campfire, Liu Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to keep his expression calm and natural.

He knew that these two young women before him were the "golden keys" to entering the Body Sect.

The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family had close ties with the Body Sect. This was no secret among the upper circles of Douluo Continent.

And as a transmigrator, Liu Yuan knew even more clearly that Princess Vina was not only a member of the royal family, but also a disciple of the Body Sect!

As long as he could establish this connection, joining the Body Sect was practically guaranteed.

After all, the Body Sect had always been fiercely protective of—and eager to recruit—Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls.

Especially a genius like him with an exceptionally high-quality Body Martial Soul. The Body Sect had absolutely no reason to refuse him.

The only difficulty was simply "how to find that reclusive sect."

But now, that difficulty no longer existed.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath. He did not rush to reveal his purpose, instead chatting casually with Vina and Mu Xue. He intended to first close the distance between them, then find an opportunity to ask about the Body Sect.

But unexpectedly, Vina was the first to lose patience.

As they chatted, Vina leaned forward slightly, a trace of curiosity flashing through her eyes.

"Earlier, I saw that Young Master Liu Yuan's skills were extraordinary. Your Martial Soul also seemed rather special, and it even possessed healing abilities. May I ask... what exactly is your Martial Soul?"

Though she had only caught a fleeting glimpse earlier, as a disciple of the Body Sect, Vina possessed an innate sensitivity toward Body Martial Souls. Liu Yuan's unusual eyes gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity and... oppression.

Liu Yuan did not hide it. He pointed at his eyes and frankly said, "My Martial Soul is my eyes. It is called the 'Double Pupil.'"

"Double Pupil? A Body Martial Soul?!"

Mu Xue could not help crying out in surprise. Her originally cool gaze had become blazing hot.

Although Vina had better composure, she could not conceal the shock in her eyes either.

It really was a Body Martial Soul! And it was even the eyes, such a vital body part!

In the rankings of Body Martial Souls, the brain, torso, and eyes all stood at the absolute peak, far beyond anything else.

"That's right, it's a Body Martial Soul." Liu Yuan nodded, then revealed a bitter smile. "To be honest, the main reason I passed through here was because I was heading to the Heaven Dou Empire to search for that legendary sect—the Body Sect."

At this point, Liu Yuan sighed at just the right moment, an expression of longing and confusion appearing on his face. "I heard it is the holy land for all possessors of Body Martial Souls."

"Although I awakened my Martial Soul, I have always cultivated through my own exploration and know very little about the mysteries of Body Martial Souls. So... I wanted to go there and take a look. I hope to join the sect and systematically learn how to cultivate."

"Unfortunately, I heard that the Body Sect has remained hidden for many years, and no one knows where its mountain gate is. My trip to the Heaven Dou Empire is merely a gamble on my luck."

After hearing Liu Yuan's heartfelt words, Vina and Mu Xue exchanged a glance. Each saw a hint of amusement in the other's eyes.

What was this?

After searching everywhere in vain, it had fallen right into their laps?

Vina had originally been thinking that since they had encountered such an outstanding Body Martial Soul genius, she would drag him back to the sect even if she had to tie him up.

Who would have thought that he was delivering himself to their door?

"Ahem."

Vina coughed twice, hiding the joy in her heart as she said with feigned reserve, "Since Young Master Liu has such aspirations and traveled so far to the Heaven Dou Empire in search of knowledge, that is indeed admirable. However... to be honest, I am also a disciple of the Body Sect."

"Such a coincidence?" Liu Yuan asked with feigned delight.

"Yes!" Vina smiled. "Then why not travel with us, Young Master Liu? We can look after one another along the way. Once we reach the Heaven Dou Empire, I can personally recommend you to join our Body Sect."

"That would be wonderful! Thank you, Miss Vina!" Liu Yuan quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

The next morning.

The sky had only just begun to brighten when the group set off once more.

With Liu Yuan's powerful support, the rest of their journey became much easier.

Moreover, along the way, Liu Yuan fully displayed the social talents he had gained from living two lifetimes.

He seized the opportunity to build good relationships with them. After all, when traveling abroad, an extra friend meant an extra path.

So...

For mercenaries like Tie Feng, he would occasionally bring out some Huo Yuhao-brand grilled fish, or casually cast a healing spell whenever they were injured or exhausted. Before long, he had become one with these straightforward men, calling them brothers.

As for the two young ladies, Vina and Mu Xue, Liu Yuan was both witty and humorous, yet impeccably polite.

He told them strange tales they had never heard before, leaving them marveling again and again. He even used a few flirtation tricks from his previous life, making the two girls beam with delight.

Thus, even Mu Xue, who had a relatively aloof personality, occasionally revealed a rare smile under Liu Yuan's relentless charm.

Vina's favorable impression of Liu Yuan grew even stronger. She felt that this young man was not only powerful and extraordinarily talented, but also an exceptional conversationalist—a friend worth knowing deeply.

And so, the group traveled amid laughter and cheer. The originally dull and dangerous forest journey began to feel somewhat like an outing.

As time passed, they finally left the Star Dou Great Forest and entered the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

According to the original plan, Vina should have returned to the palace first to report in and rest for a while.

But after spending this time together, her relationship with Liu Yuan had grown very close. She had even begun to regard him as a true friend.

So, in Vina's eyes...

Since Liu Yuan so desperately wished to join the Body Sect, and he himself was such a stunningly gifted possessor of a Body Martial Soul...

Vina's heart stirred, and she made a decision.

"Liu Yuan, we're changing routes."

Inside the carriage, Vina lifted the curtain and smiled at Liu Yuan, who rode alongside on horseback. "Since you're so eager to visit the Body Sect, we won't return to Tianhun City first. We'll take you directly to the Body Sect's mountain gate!"

"Really?" Liu Yuan's eyes lit up. "Then thank you, Vina!"

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Vina blinked playfully. "Just don't forget my kindness once you make it big."

Several days later.

At the foot of a range of rolling mountains within the Heaven Dou Empire.

The terrain here was treacherous, shrouded in mist, and rarely visited by people.

Looking at the perilous peaks before him that seemed to pierce the clouds, Liu Yuan could not help sighing inwardly. As expected of a reclusive sect. This place really is hard to find.

"We're here."

Vina pointed ahead, a smile appearing on her face. "Walk a little farther, and we'll reach the Body Sect."
