Chu Luo rubbed his chin and decided to look at the special physiques in the system shop.
He opened the special physiques tab.
Chu Luo was utterly stunned.
The system shop offered a dazzling array of special physiques.
Any one of them would be insanely powerful in the outside world.
But the Apprentice-Protection Points required were exceptionally high, too.
With his current 35,000 Apprentice-Protection Points, he could only buy the lowest-grade spirit physique!
Suddenly, Chu Luo noticed the ten most prominent physiques listed in the tab!
These were also the legendary, heaven-defying physiques of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
Chaos Divine Body [5,000,000 Apprentice-Protection Points] Void Divine Body [4,000,000 Apprentice-Protection Points] Desolate Ancient Sacred Body [3,000,000 Apprentice-Protection Points] Longevity Body [2,000,000 Apprentice-Protection Points]
After browsing the list, Chu Luo had never expected the system to offer even the ten legendary physiques!
That's my system for you!
Chu Luo's gaze settled on the Longevity Body, drawn to it.
Could someone with this physique really live forever without aging?
He clicked on the Longevity Body and read its description.
He instantly grew excited.
[Longevity Body: Those who possess this physique have an endless lifespan, an imperishable fleshly body, and an indestructible soul. They live forever without aging!]
Those few words were enough for Chu Luo to make up his mind.
No matter what, he had to save up enough Apprentice-Protection Points to redeem the Longevity Body!
Once he had the Longevity Body, wouldn't he be able to unleash forbidden ultimate moves without limit?
The drawback of forbidden ultimate moves consuming his lifespan would have no effect on him whatsoever!
The terrifying power of the Forbidden Secret Arts fascinated Chu Luo.
Ordinary martial techniques no longer interested him.
Not even emperor-grade martial techniques caught his eye.
Forbidden ultimate moves were the true aesthetics of violence!
There were even some forbidden ultimate moves that Great Emperors couldn't counter...
"Looks like I'll have to raise my cultivation through my own efforts from now on..."
Having made up his mind, Chu Luo exited the system and sighed.
From now on, he would work hard to save up Apprentice-Protection Points!
Two million Apprentice-Protection Points only meant getting his master to stand up for him two hundred times. That wasn't much...
With that thought, Chu Luo sat cross-legged, circulated the Forbidden Primal Chaos Art, and began cultivating...
Meanwhile.
At Crimson Flame Valley, one of the top powers.
Deep within Crimson Flame Valley's grounds.
Two figures stood respectfully before a moss-covered stone door.
Had Chu Luo been there and seen one of them, he would undoubtedly have been astonished.
Because one of them was Han Wujie, who had been struck by the Soul-Devouring Evil God Eye.
At that moment, Han Wujie's face was deathly pale, his aura somewhat feeble, and hatred flickered in his eyes.
He swore that if he ever got the chance.
He would slaughter Chu Luo!
"Junior, we have already removed eighty percent of that strange power within you."
"The power of this move is exceedingly strange. We have never seen anything like it, either, but your life is no longer in danger. We have sealed the remaining strange power within you. Come back after some time..."
A voice brimming with supreme majesty came from behind the stone door before Han Wujie.
"Thank you for saving my life, Ancestor!"
Han Wujie bowed and cupped his hands in gratitude.
"Ancestor, the Forbidden Sect has gone too far!"
"Had you not intervened, Wujie would likely have been doomed today!"
"Please secure justice for us, master and disciple!"
Beside Han Wujie, Flame Lord Ancient Sage wore a dark expression, anger surging in his heart at the thought of the Forbidden Sect.
A moment later, the same voice sounded from behind the stone door again:
"Now is not the time to tear away all pretense with the Forbidden Sect..."
"But that Forbidden Sect disciple who used such a strange move cannot be allowed to live!"
"To have mastered such a formidable move at so young an age... if we let him grow, the Forbidden Sect will become even harder to deal with..."
Whoosh...
No sooner had the voice faded than, from behind the moss-covered stone door.
A streak of light suddenly shot out and entered Han Wujie's mind.
Han Wujie froze, then excitement spread across his face!
An emperor-grade combat technique had appeared in his mind!
"I bestow this emperor technique upon you. The next time you encounter that brat from the Forbidden Sect, make certain you kill him!"
The aged voice rang out again.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
"This disciple will personally slay Chu Luo!"
Han Wujie cupped his hands and said coldly.
No further response came from behind the stone door...
Then Flame Lord Ancient Sage left with Han Wujie...
Meanwhile.
At some unknown point.
A piece of news sent shock waves through the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
A Great Emperor Secret Realm was about to emerge in Desolate Heaven Province of the Northern Plains Realm.
That night, across the skies of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Strange phenomena manifested, radiant streams of color drawing the attention of countless powers.
For a time, numerous powers immediately dispatched experts, rushing overnight to the Northern Plains Realm...
At dawn, when the first golden sunlight shone upon the earth.
Within the Forbidden Sect.
Chu Luo was already waiting beside an enormous void ship.
Soon, over a dozen core disciples gathered, each cupping their hands toward Chu Luo:
"Senior Brother Chu!"
They no longer called Chu Luo a menace.
Their attitude toward him was now full of respect!
"Junior brothers!"
Chu Luo smiled faintly as well and cupped his hands in return.
These core disciples would follow him into the Great Emperor Secret Realm to compete for opportunities!
"By the way, junior brothers, have any of you seen my master?"
Chu Luo suddenly remembered that his master hadn't returned at all last night.
He hadn't seen him this morning either, and had no idea where his master had gone.
The time to depart was fast approaching...
The core disciples at the front exchanged glances, shook their heads, and cupped their hands:
"Senior Brother Chu, we haven't seen the Third Elder either..."
Chu Luo was speechless.
His master was already a Great Emperor, yet he was still so unreliable...
Just then, everyone saw two streaks of light fly out from the depths of the sect and land before them.
Upon seeing the two arrivals, the core disciples all cupped their hands in greeting:
"Second Elder!"
"Fourth Elder!"
The Second Elder, Zhao Sheng, nodded slightly and glanced at Chu Luo, his expression cold:
"Let's go!"
"The Fourth Elder and I will lead this trip to the Northern Plains Realm..."
"Yes!"
The dozen or so disciples leaped aboard the void warship.
Only then did Chu Luo come to his senses. His mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he felt utterly miserable.
Chu Luo stepped forward and addressed the Fourth Elder:
"Fourth Elder, where's my master?"
"Where did he go?"
The Fourth Elder, named Qin Yi, was a kindly-looking old man.
"Heh..."
"Little fellow, something came up for your master, and he left the sect some time ago.
"Before leaving, the Third Elder specifically asked the Second Elder and me to protect you!"
"It's getting late. Let's set off!"
With that, Qin Yi and Zhao Sheng boarded the warship, leaving Chu Luo standing there in a daze.
His Great Emperor master had stood him up again!
He wasn't reliable in the slightest!
Zhao Sheng dislikes me so much. What if he makes things difficult for me?
The Fourth Elder is the only one I can count on now!
"Boy, are you coming or not?!"
"If you're not, we're leaving without you!"
Seeing Chu Luo standing motionless in a daze, Zhao Sheng prompted him irritably.
"Coming!"
Chu Luo replied just as irritably.
He had been waiting here for them since early morning.
Yet they had only shown up at the very last moment.
After Chu Luo boarded the void ship.
The void ship rose into the sky, broke through the void, and vanished into a spatial rift...
