Chapter Fifteen: The Ghost Underworld Manor Pays a Visit; Ghost Underworld Zi Arrives in Person

Nether Ghost Palace Pays a Visit, Nether Ghost Master Arrives in Person

Of course Mu Qiuxue wanted to know.

Every night, the world as 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 world of cultivation, this question had troubled her for a long time.

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

As time went by, her body grew increasingly weak.

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

After great hardship, she arrived at Backer Sect and participated in the disciple recruitment ceremony.

She ultimately became Xiaxuan Zhenren's disciple!

After becoming a cultivator, though the problem still remained unresolved, she no longer depended as much on sleep.

She could cultivate in place of sleeping, solving this annoyance.

Mu Qiuxue had discussed this strange matter with Xiaxuan Zhenren.

But Xiaxuan Zhenren had not found the cause.

Afterward, Mu Qiuxue gradually forgot about it.

Only when Hua Yunfei suddenly brought it up did she remember 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.

"Darknight Immortal Body."

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

"Darknight Immortal Body?"

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

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

"It is normal that you have not heard of it."

The Darknight Immortal Body had only appeared once.

The first Holy Master of the assassin dynasty—the Imperial Court—Eternal Night Great Emperor!

His physique had been the Darknight Immortal Body!

Of course, Eternal Night Great Emperor's Darknight Immortal Body had been flawless and complete.

Mu Qiuxue's, however, was exceedingly incomplete.

This was a secret tale, merely a legend. Hua Yunfei had only learned of it by chance, so it was perfectly normal that Xiaxuan Zhenren did not know.

Hua Yunfei had originally thought it was only a legend as well.

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

The ones who truly knew the facts might only be the Imperial Court itself.

But they rarely revealed themselves.

Even Ultimate Sacred Grounds feared them!

Because they were true assassins!

Rumor had it that they had assassinated Great Emperor-level powerhouses from ancient times!

Though no one believed it, the rumor still made countless people turn pale at the mere mention of it!

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 lacking, so it is difficult for you to truly unleash the strength of the Darknight Immortal Body."

Then he changed the subject. "However, in Wildlands Province, even an incomplete Darknight Immortal Body is enough."

Mu Qiuxue grew somewhat excited, her little face flushed red. "Then how can I use the Darknight Immortal Body?"

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

Special physiques were what all cultivators dreamed of.

They greatly enhanced combat power, further clarified one's future cultivation path, 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, Daoyuan Zhenren, was the most mysterious person in Backer Sect: he possessed countless treasures, had a uniquely sharp eye, astonishing talent, and formidable cultivation.

Now that she saw it, Master had understated it—by quite a bit.

He had seen at a glance that she possessed a special physique and even identified it precisely. Such insight was rare in this world!

"Heh."

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

He raised two fingers and pointed, sending a streak of flowing light into Mu Qiuxue's navel.

"Mm..."

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

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 what he possessed.

It resided within her abdomen, unfathomably profound—a kind of Dao law.

His was the Sacred Body origin.

Mu Qiuxue's was the Darknight Immortal Body origin, though it was extremely incomplete and amounted to only a tiny trace.

A special aura seemed to settle over Mu Qiuxue's entire body. Though she was clearly standing there, one might not even notice her without looking carefully!

And this was in daylight. At night, she would likely be able to blend completely into the darkness.

A born assassin!

Hua Yunfei withdrew his hand and stood with his hands behind his back. Activating the Darknight Immortal Body origin within Mu Qiuxue was merely a lift of the hand to him, effortless as blowing away dust.

But for the entire sect, gaining one more disciple with a Darknight Immortal Body held tremendous 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 Hua Yunfei would be living in Backer Sect.

His sense of security was overflowing.

"So this is the Darknight Immortal Body!"

Mu Qiuxue felt the immortal body origin within herself and was utterly shocked.

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

And this was with her immortal body origin being exceedingly incomplete. If one day she could make up for the missing origin...

"Thank you, Chief Seat True Person!"

Mu Qiuxue hurriedly saluted and spoke excitedly.

"No need for courtesy."

Hua Yunfei waved his hand, speaking indifferently.

To him, it had merely been something that required the movement of a finger.

Ye Bufan said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Mu, on awakening the Darknight Immortal Body. You will surely become a top powerhouse in Wildlands Province in the future!"

"Hehe, you are not bad either. The Ancient Sacred Body can battle Great Emperors!"

Mu Qiuxue patted Ye Bufan on the shoulder, delighted beyond measure.

She had truly come to Daoyuan Peak this time.

"Hehe, Senior Sister, you flatter me." Ye Bufan was not very accustomed to speaking with Mu Qiuxue, and his words carried a trace of awkwardness.

"Qiuxue."

Hua Yunfei said, "The darkness aptitude of the Darknight Immortal Body is extraordinarily powerful. Though your origin is incomplete, you still possess Dao Grade Supreme Darkness Aptitude. In the future, you must cultivate darkness-attribute techniques."

"Yes, Qiuxue will remember this well."

"You possess the Darknight Immortal Body. You are a top-tier assassin! Remember that at all times!"

"I am an assassin!"
