Taiyin Sacred Physique, Invaded by Frost Poison? Fusing the Immortal Bone!

The reddening sun slowly sank, and night shrouded the earth like a pitch-black abyss.

Once the matter was settled, Ye Linglong curled her lips into a smile. Looking at her utterly adorable little cousin, she planted several more smacking kisses on him, then carried him back to her Sleeping Palace.

"Little brother, time for bed!"

Ye Linglong held nothing back as she gathered Ye Tian into her arms.

Normally, cultivators fed on rosy clouds and morning dew, no longer needing to eat or sleep like mortals.

But this cousin of his... was simply different. She wanted both to satisfy her appetite and to maintain a regular sleep schedule.

Meanwhile, the other prodigies of her generation cultivated day and night, practically turning into cultivation machines.

Ye Tian thought to himself, I have to lie flat and slack off. Eating well and sleeping well—isn't that the good life? Why bother cultivating hard and becoming an emotionless cultivation machine?

"Phew!"

Ye Tian felt utterly stifled. His cousin's ample bosom, those towering peaks, was far more than his infant body could bear.

The problem was... Ye Linglong adored him so much that she wanted to hold him tight.

Ye Tian wanted to cry but had no tears. Still, he wriggled cautiously, kicking this way and that until he escaped her embrace.

One careless move nearly sent him tumbling off the bed, but a gentle force caught him and slowly lowered him onto the jade floor.

"Phew, thank goodness for the system."

Ye Tian's eyes darted around. Ever since his birth, he had always been in someone else's arms.

He was also extremely curious about the world outside. After all, it was perfectly normal for a little troublemaker to have an abundance of curiosity.

So he wriggled his stubby limbs and crept cautiously toward the door.

An incense stick's worth of time passed, and Ye Tian had crawled a distance of roughly two or three adult steps.

Even the system seemed unable to bear watching anymore.

"Ding! In view of the host's embarrassing display, the system has decided to upgrade."

"Ding! System upgrade successful. Infinite Traversal Mode unlocked."

"Infinite Traversal Mode: regardless of age, movement speed is one hundred times faster than normal. You can also ignore spatial obstructions and pass through all obstacles!"

Ye Tian's chubby little face nearly turned red with anger.

He had only been born two days ago. What more did it want, a plane? Being able to crawl was already good enough!

Damn system... it actually thinks I'm slow? And it called me an embarrassment!!!

I'll settle this score sooner or later!

For now, I'll take a look around outside first.

Ye Tian began crawling on his stubby limbs again, only... his speed had increased more than a hundredfold, and he could pass straight through obstacles as though they were not there.

In an instant, he crawled out of Ye Linglong's Sleeping Palace.

Seeing this, Ye Tian marveled inwardly. This damn system does have its uses.

Just provide more convenient services like this in the future.

Stop upgrading this and that all the time. Otherwise, I'll stand out too much, and lying flat won't be easy.

Then he continued creeping cautiously along, exploring his surroundings.

Half an incense stick later, Ye Tian stopped outside a palace on a treasure island.

"Why is it so hot in there? Could there be some fortuitous encounter? Let's take a look."

Ye Tian passed straight through the wall and entered the palace.

Yet... the sight before him left him utterly dumbfounded.

The palace interior was scorching hot, filled everywhere with heat-generating Fire Spirit Stones.

At its center sat a sixteen-year-old young woman in an ice-blue tasseled dress. She was exceptionally tall and slender, with long, snow-white legs folded beneath her, faintly visible under her skirt.

An ice-blue jade sash cinched her slender waist, so narrow that a single hand could scarcely fill its grasp.

Her face was stunning, her red lips tender, and her skin fairer than snow. Yet her cool gaze carried an extreme chill that made others afraid to approach.

But... at that moment, the young woman was breathing rapidly, her face twisted in pain. Her clothes were disheveled, and fragrant sweat drenched her body. Between the folds of her garments, her jade-white arms, pale legs, shapely hips, and soft breasts showed through.

"No, don't come closer."

When the beautiful young woman saw Ye Tian, she did not even have time to wonder how an infant had appeared in such a sealed space.

Instead, she spoke softly, warning Ye Tian not to approach.

She was Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land. She possessed the Taiyin Sacred Physique, ranked among the foremost of the three thousand physiques and rarely seen even across several eras.

She should have been able to ride unhindered across the world and sweep through her peers, with a brilliant future ahead of her.

But the Taiyin Sacred Physique had a drawback: an innate Cold Poison within the body. Ordinarily, those who possessed it did not live past eighteen.

During previous outbreaks, the Saint Lord of Jade Pool and the ancestors of the Jade Pool Holy Land had suppressed the Cold Poison for her.

This outbreak, however, was so severe that even the ancestors of the Jade Pool Holy Land were helpless.

Saint Lord Yue Liuli returned to the holy land and, after learning what had happened, immediately brought Yao Xi to the Eternal Ye Family, hoping to find a cure.

The Holy Lord had first placed her in this sealed chamber made of fire spirit stones, then gone to seek out the Ye Family's many elders and ancestors.

Unexpectedly, instead of the Holy Lord, an infant had arrived first.

"Holy shit, system, why is she suffering so much? Is there anything we can do?"

Ye Tian hurriedly questioned the system.

"Ding! This woman is the Jade Pool Holy Maiden. She possesses the Taiyin Sacred Physique, and the Cold Poison within her body is too potent."

"Without a heaven-defying method, she will likely not survive the night."

"The Jade Pool Holy Maiden? Doesn't that make her my mother's disciple? No, I can't just stand by and watch!"

"Ding! The host is advised to fuse the Immortal Bone and use its power to absorb the Cold Poison."

"This will eradicate the Jade Pool Holy Maiden's Cold Poison and convert it into frost power for the host's use."

Ye Tian was somewhat speechless at the system's words.

This damn system is doing it on purpose, isn't it?!

If I fuse the Immortal Bone, won't my aptitude soar into the heavens?

How am I supposed to lie flat and slack off after that?!

Forget it. Let's fuse it. A life is at stake. At worst, I'll keep a low profile afterward and hide my mountains and waters.

Then he sighed inwardly. Ah, the road to slacking off is a heavy burden and a long journey.

"Ding! Please lie in the Jade Pool Holy Maiden's arms. Skin-to-skin contact is required to absorb the Cold Poison."

Using his chubby little hands, Ye Tian crawled slowly toward the Jade Pool Holy Maiden.

Yao Xi's consciousness was hazy, but when she saw such a tiny infant crawling toward her, panic rose in her heart.

At this distance, he would definitely be afflicted by the Cold Poison!

She wanted to stop him, but her entire body was limp and powerless.

Yet the infant seemed completely unaffected and actually crawled into her arms.

Yao Xi smiled bleakly. She had never expected that, in the final moments of her life, the whole world would keep its distance.

Only this little infant was still willing to come close to her.

She gathered the infant into her arms and smiled softly.

Before long, her eyes, more lustrous than colored glaze, slowly closed.

The chill around her surged ever more fiercely, as though it would encase the Holy Maiden in ice.

Before Yao Xi lost consciousness, she smiled and said to Ye Tian, "Little brother, thank you."

Ye Tian urged frantically in his mind, Damn system, hurry up and fuse the Immortal Bone.

"Ding! Beginning Immortal Bone fusion and Cold Poison absorption."
