The Strongest Divine Body!

After finishing their training, the little brats each went home to find their mothers.

Taishu Family.

Located on the edge of the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream and backed against the outskirts of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, this family was neither large nor small, with around two hundred members.

The clan head was Taishu Feng, the father of Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing. His cultivation had reached the second realm after the Blood Bone Realm—the Spirit Vein Realm.

Aside from the clan head, there were three elders, all of whom had also reached the Spirit Vein Realm.

The rest were family guards and ordinary people unsuited for cultivation.

Besides the Taishu Family, there were three other neighboring great families: the Lan Family, the Shen Family, and the Wang Family. The four families had formed a small town in this wild, desolate land.

Among the Four Great Families, the Taishu Family and the Lan Family were on good terms, while the Shen Family and the Wang Family were closer. The younger generation often clashed as well; nobody could stand the sight of the others.

Still, surviving within the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream, no matter how deep the conflicts between the families ran, they would not openly draw blades or fight to the death.

A Beast Tide could emerge from the Cloud Dream Mountain Range at any time, threatening the lives of everyone in the town. Only by joining forces could the Four Great Families preserve themselves.

The brothers Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing returned home.

The moment they stepped through the gate, before they could even react, a fragrant breeze swept past, and Taishu Jing vanished from sight.

The two brothers had been swept into the arms of a graceful woman.

She wore flowing, multicolored sleeves. Her features were delicate and beautiful, her skin crystalline as snow, her eyes soft as water. Her hair was arranged in a high bun, and she possessed a deep, gentle elegance—though her behavior was rather out of place.

Seeing their mother acting like a mischievous sprite, Taishu Yun spoke up. "Mother, Jing is about to suffocate. Let him go already."

Only then did the woman realize what she had done, embarrassment appearing on her face. "Sorry, my babies. Mother didn't mean to."

Huff!

After taking a breath, Taishu Jing glanced at his mother and said disdainfully, "Mother, can you be a little more composed? Learn from Father, will you?"

"My baby actually said that about Mother. Mother is so heartbroken," the woman said, pretending to wipe away tears with a wronged expression.

Taishu Jing rolled his eyes. How many times has she done this already? She's still at it. Who's the child here, exactly?

"Mother, Jing didn't mean it that way," Taishu Yun said. He knew she was pretending, but he still patiently offered a word of comfort.

Hearing her eldest son's words, the woman immediately broke into a smile, as though the skies had cleared.

"Cough, cough, Jingyun," Taishu Feng coughed twice behind them, reminding his wife to mind herself.

Taishu Feng had a rugged face, with a touch of authority between his brows. His gaze was deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Tall and straight-backed, he looked heroic and still quite young.

Ignoring her husband's hint, Jingyun asked, "Babies, how did your first day of cultivation feel?"

"Reporting to Mother, everything went smoothly. Jing and I both already have five hundred jin of strength," Taishu Yun said happily.

"Really?" Before Jingyun could speak, Taishu Feng strode quickly over, staring excitedly at the two brothers as though he had heard something extraordinary.

Jingyun, on the other hand, was nowhere near as excited as Taishu Feng. She seemed quite calm about it.

"Of course it's true," Taishu Jing said, shooting his father a dissatisfied look. This was no great matter. What was there to lie about?

After being scorned by his younger son, Taishu Feng's old face showed a trace of embarrassment. "That's good, then. Father is simply too happy."

"Worthy of being Mother's babies, you're amazing. Come, let Mother give you a kiss," Jingyun said, planting a kiss on Taishu Yun's cheek.

Seeing that his mother wanted to kiss him too, Taishu Jing took two steps back and avoided her kiss. Even though his body was still that of a child, his mind was not. Instinctively, he refused.

Seeing her younger son avoid her, Jingyun wore an aggrieved expression, like a little girl who had been bullied. Taishu Yun comforted her a few more times, and she soon cheered up.

"Father, Mother, I heard Uncle Taishu Yong say that our Taishu Family once had a prodigy who reached eighty thousand jin of immense strength in the Blood Bone Realm. Is that true?" Taishu Yun asked his father for confirmation.

Taishu Feng looked at his eldest son in surprise, then nodded. "That is true. However, that prodigy eventually fell outside. It was truly a pity."

After receiving confirmation, Taishu Yun declared loudly, "Father, Mother, I promise that I will surpass that prodigy."

Taishu Feng and Jingyun were both stunned for a moment by their eldest son's declaration, then they laughed.

"Yun'er, Father is greatly pleased that you have such lofty ambitions. Go for it boldly. You can do it," Taishu Feng said, laughing heartily at his eldest son's grand words.

Jingyun, however, took Taishu Yun's hand and said gently to them, "Yun'er, Mother only hopes that you and Jing'er will be safe and well. Mother asks for nothing else."

Taishu Jing folded his arms, raised a thumb, and said to his mother with an air far beyond his years, "Mother, my brother is this good. The Great Marsh of Cloud Dream can't hold the two of us brothers."

Hearing her younger son, Jingyun froze for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Fine. If the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream truly can't hold you two brothers, Mother won't stop you."

"That's more like it. Don't worry, Mother. Big Brother and I will soon sweep through the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream without a rival," Taishu Jing said, his confidence bursting through the roof and his swagger soaring to the heavens.

"Hehe, such a little man with such big talk. Mother will wait for that day to come," Jingyun said, amused by her younger son.

Taishu Feng looked at his two sons, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Listening to his younger brother, Taishu Yun also felt boundless ambition rise in his heart. Sweep through the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream without a rival. So Little Brother's ambitions are this great. As his elder brother, I can't fall behind either.

Without realizing it, Taishu Yun took Taishu Jing's words to heart and set himself a small goal: sweep through the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream without a rival!

Watching the brothers Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing leave, Taishu Feng remained silent for a long while before looking at Jingyun.

"Jingyun, neither Yun'er nor Jing'er is willing to remain ordinary. Both long for the world outside. Perhaps before long, the Taishu Family will no longer be able to keep them."

"Yes, I know. The Taishu Family is still too small for them," Jingyun agreed.

After a pause, Taishu Feng continued, "Jingyun, don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Jingyun shook her head. "No. Let the children go back and take a look for me someday."

Hearing his wife's words, Taishu Feng said nothing more. He only hoped that the brothers Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing could fulfill her wish soon.

After returning to their own courtyard, Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing stopped in the yard.

"Jing, I'm going to cultivate a little longer. What about you?" Taishu Yun asked.

"I'll rest for a while," Taishu Jing said, waving a hand as he sat down to one side.

Taishu Yun nodded and began practicing the Ascending Dragon Fist alone. Slowly, Heaven and Earth Essence gathered around him and entered his body, helping him temper his bones and blood and purge the impurities from within.

While his elder brother cultivated diligently nearby, Taishu Jing called out to System Master in his mind.

"Master, since my brother is the protagonist, aside from possessing great fortune, doesn't he have anything special about him?"

Taishu Jing questioned System Master.

After a while, a mechanical voice rang out.

"There is. The host's elder brother possesses the strongest physique beneath Heaven and Earth: the Divine Body."

"Divine Body? What's so impressive about it?"

Hearing this news, Taishu Jing became incredibly excited. The strongest physique beneath Heaven and Earth—how awesome would that be? Wouldn't cultivating and leveling up be as easy as drinking water and eating?

Since Big Brother had a Divine Body, then he should have one too. Just thinking about it thrilled Taishu Jing.

"The Divine Body is a divine physique blessed by Heaven and Earth. Its body is immensely powerful, and its comprehension is peerless beneath the heavens. However, every advancement in cultivation requires enduring the test of a Thunder Tribulation. Those who pass the Thunder Tribulation gain endless benefits. Those who fail perish, body and soul extinguished."

Hiss!

As expected of a physique possessed by the protagonist, getting struck by lightning was unavoidable. Taishu Jing sucked in a breath of cold air.

Still, there was nothing to worry about. His elder brother Taishu Yun was the protagonist. He absolutely refused to believe that lightning could strike him to death. The Thunder Tribulation could only be there to deliver benefits to him.

"It possesses a Divine Body phenomenon, Heavenly God's Descent, which can suppress other phenomena. It also comes with a Divine Body Inheritance."

"What inheritance?" Taishu Jing asked curiously.

"It varies from person to person. The host must uncover it himself," the mechanical voice replied.

"Fine, then why does my brother have a Divine Body, yet nothing about him looks different?" Taishu Jing glanced at his elder brother.

"The Divine Body has yet to awaken," came the concise reply.

"Am I the same?"

"Yes, host."

So the Divine Body had to awaken first. As expected of a Divine Body, its prestige was on another level.

Taishu Jing continued asking, "Master, then how does it awaken?"

"Consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Let their vast energy wash over the body and stimulate the Divine Body, thereby awakening it."

Listening to System Master's explanation, Taishu Jing's heart itched with anticipation. He could not wait to consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, awaken this strongest Divine Body, and then start crushing the entire world.
