"Unexpectedly, a divine bloodline has appeared in this remote mountain region."

Su Yu was somewhat lost in thought. This Lifetime was indeed a blessing for the Ruthless One Lineage. Many Divine Body and King Physique were hidden in the mortal world, striving their whole lives without being able to shine as they should.

Like the myriad beings on Earth, it's impossible for there to be only one Sacred Body. The other special constitutions have all silently disappeared into the River of Time, leaving no trace.

This girl had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, and her divine power was not apparent. However, Su Yu had absorbed the essence of the Light King Physique and was very familiar with this essence of light, which was why he was able to sense the light bloodline within her.

Watching the two children run towards the Daoist temple, the Saint Qingxuan's gaze was deep, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"Won't Elder Xuan accept them?" Su Yu asked softly.

The old Daoist priest remained calm, his eyes swirling with profound mystery. He explained, "They are not destined for me, nor are they suitable for my lineage. This visit is merely to sever their worldly ties."

" In this Lifetime numerous kings rising up, even the Azure Moon Divine Physique is nothing special and cannot dominate."

Gai Jiuyou sighed with emotion. He had lived for nine thousand years and had seen countless outstanding people.

What does it matter if one has Divine Body, King Physique, or a battle body? In the end, they all become a pile of bones on the road to becoming an emperor. How many people are as amazing as the Central Emperor? Only a few make it to the end.

The competition for the Emperor's Path in this Lifetime is too fierce. With the Ruthless One Lineage shining example, the Azure Moon Divine Physique is really nothing special.

"Are all cultivators who follow the Dao of Nature like this?" Su Yu chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing.

If there's no affinity, why would you give someone cultivation methods and Dao Artifact? Isn't that redundant?

"Buzz!"

A beam of crystalline divine thought burst forth from his forehead, and in an instant, he understood the cause and effect of the two children's past.

They are all orphans, how kind!

"This woman is destined to be with me!" Su Yu chuckled, his eyes fixed on the Azure Moon Divine Physique.

His greatest passion in life was to grant opportunities and rescue orphaned sisters—who else but him could do it!

Chapter 415 Taisu, Tai Shi, Taichu – The Three Realms of Chaos

At this moment, the Jin Yang shifted, casting its rays, and the mountain air rose in a misty haze, accompanied by the shadows of trees and scattered clouds, painting the landscape with a picturesque scene.

In the deep forest and overgrown grass, a lithe figure swiftly leaped over various obstacles, rushing forward.

The girl's hair was loose and her body was slender. She carried her younger sister on her back. Her light blue eyes reflected a strange light, and she exuded a confident and radiant glow.

In her eyes, this was her path to changing her fate. The immortal master, who had previously ignored her pleas, had finally responded this time...

"Sister, this white-haired creature looks like it belongs to that Daoist priest from the back mountain."

The little girl with pigtails lay comfortably on her older sister, her thin little hands playing with a snow-white whisk, clearly very interested in the object.

"That's an immortal, Nannan."

The rushing river water surged in; recent rains had caused the water level of nearby rivers to rise significantly. What was once a narrow stream, barely wide enough for one person, had now become a large river, running north to south and cutting off the connection between the jungle and the villages.

This has been a tradition for many years. During the summer rains, a large river forms around this time every year. The disciples of the Qin Sect in the village built a stone bridge for the villagers, but it is several miles away from here.

Looking at the steaming river before her, the slender girl bit her lip and adjusted her breathing technique. She leaped from the mountain, crossing the more than ten-meter-wide river and landed safely on the other side. She then ran briskly towards the Daoist temple, her feet sinking into the mud.

"This footwork is already comparable to low-level martial arts techniques in the mortal realm."

In the space, a graceful fairy emerged, her beautiful eyes gleaming with an unusual light as she stared intently at the girl in front of her.

This was the first time she had heard of the Azure Moon Divine Physique, a special physique, and she was very curious about it, especially since the previous owner of this physique was a Quasi-Emperor, which added a touch of brilliance to this young girl.

Through the thin mist, Su Yu's eyes flickered as he softly said, "To create a martial art from basic breathing techniques—that shows some talent."

He gazed at the girl carrying her younger sister on her back, his mind racing with thoughts.

The next moment, a purple light shot out from Su Yu's eyes, and in an instant, demonic energy surged, and the purple light transformed into a ferocious-looking purple-armored demon general, riding the demonic wind and rushing towards the girl.

"Is this feeling... like a giant worm?"

The girl, who was running through the mountains, trembled and had a bad feeling.

The beast she spoke of was not a tiger from the mortal realm, but a tiger spirit from this place, whose roars echoed through the mountains and forests, wreaking havoc in the region, and even the disciples of the Qin Sect could not subdue it.

However, that tiger spirit was very cunning and never left the deep mountains. Moreover, it voluntarily released the Qin Sect disciples who came to hunt it.

"Sister... it doesn't seem to be the Great Insect." The little girl behind the girl was trembling, stammering, "This feeling is very similar to that Ninth Grandfather from back then, no, much stronger than Ninth Grandfather."

The "Ninth Grandfather" she mentioned was an elderly man in his sixties from a nearby village. He was sickly and looked like he was about to pass away; he was truly powerless.

The last time the Qin Sect accepted disciples, to everyone's surprise, the sick old man was chosen and successfully embarked on the path of cultivation. He sometimes wanders around and will offer help to those in need...

They were orphans from a young age, and the older sister always took care of the younger one. Just like their names, the older sister's shadow will always protect the younger sister's flower.

"Even stronger than Ninth Grandfather, it's a demonic creature at the Life Spring Realm!"

The thin girl frowned deeply, her face deathly pale. Her soul power was immense, almost comparable to that of a cultivator from the Bitter Sea, and she could sense the power of this demonic aura.

"Howl!"

Black winds blew in gusts, and mist surged. An eerie purple light covered the plains, and a dense demonic aura permeated the air, dyeing the mountains and streams purple.

Hehehehe...

A chilling laugh rang out, and it came from a creature clad in purple armor, nine feet tall, with a ferocious and menacing appearance. Its body was covered in purple-gold scales, and its pair of scarlet eyes were fixed on the child in front of it.

"Its attention is on its sister!"

Looking into the demon's eyes, Lin Ying gripped his snow-white whisk tightly, his gaze cold and sharp, facing the demon without moving.

A few breaths later, the monster opposite roared, its murderous aura chilling to the bone, causing the black-haired girl's soul to freeze, and cold sweat poured down her back.

The little girl curled up even more, burying her head in her sister's groin, trembling all over, unable to look at the evil monster in front of her.

Seeing the purple-armored demon's gaze gradually turn fierce, the girl's heart sank. She knew that the demon was about to charge at her, and that she was no match for it. Her only hope lay in the whisk in her hand.

That Daoist priest was definitely a great cultivator. She had once seen him swallow a whole sea of lightning in one gulp on the back mountain. In her worldview, that Daoist priest was a true immortal, far surpassing even the elders of the Qin Sect.

At this moment, this celestial artifact is her only hope!

However, the next moment, her hand was empty; the whisk that had been in her hand had vanished as if it had never been there.

"How is that possible...?"

Looking at the tattered white feather in the purple-armored demon's hand, a look of despair appeared in the thin girl's eyes; she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Bang!"

The purple-armored demon general roared, shaking the river. Its eyes gleamed with bloodlust. It struck out with a palm, carrying the power of dim Dao patterns, directly knocking Lin Ying into the mud. Then it grabbed Lin Ying and let out another chilling laugh.

It is a demon general of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, powerful enough to suppress everything!

"Elder sister..."

In the sharp, purple hand, the little girl struggled in pain, tears welling in her eyes, utterly helpless, unconsciously calling out for her loved ones.

"There's no way we can win. Their momentum is even stronger than that of Elder Qin Sect."

The girl, dressed in simple clothes, was trembling all over, blood trickling from her mouth, and she looked quite disheveled.

She felt as if her internal organs were shifting, but she endured the pain, got up, grabbed her wood-chopping knife, and charged forward without hesitation...

In the dim light, a dust-covered girl, with her unique footwork, like a light butterfly, launched an attack on the purple-armored demon general. However, even as she got close to the demon, she was unable to break through its defenses.

The purple-gold demon general smiled cruelly, tightening his grip on the girl's hand, making the bloodshot veins in her eyes even more crimson...

In a misty place, a little girl happily gnawed on a roast chicken. Her little mouth was wide open as she swallowed a whole chicken leg, savoring the exquisite taste of the chicken from the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Her eyes were glazed over, and a dreamy smile appeared on her face.

This little foodie had no idea what was happening on her sister's side.

Su Yu glanced at the little girl, chuckled, and didn't pay her much attention. She didn't have any special physique; her soul was simply stronger than that of ordinary people.

Only those who have touched the Taisu essence, the very bloodline of the Saint's laws, are qualified to be called King Physique.

This is also the evolution of the Chaos laws of this world. From the beginning of Hun Yuan, it has undergone the evolution from the inside out through Taiyi, Taichu, Tai Shi, Taisu, and Taiji, thus creating this great world.

Cultivators who practice against adversity delve into the laws of heaven and earth from the outside, cultivating and mastering the laws from the outside in, in the order of Taiji, Taisu, Tai Shi, Taichu, and Taiyi.

Taiji manifests in all things in heaven and earth, and the two streams of Yin and Yang flow throughout the universe. Among all living beings, countless people have entered the path of Yin and Yang, but very few have truly mastered the power of Taiji.

The power of Taisu resides within the stars, and can only be mastered by those who have reached the Saint Realm.

The power of the Tai Shi roamed freely in the starry sky and was taken into the hands of the Saint King.

The power of the Taichu resides in Qi, and often only Great Saint can control it.

These three represent different stages of Chaos, which can represent the three realms of Saint, or the power of bloodline.

As for the Quasi-Emperor Realm, apart from the gifts of fragments of the ultimate path from their fathers, there is little influence on their physique, unless they possess rare treasures of heaven and earth such as the Demon God Flower or the Source of the Dao.

A special physique is like the Heavens opening Gate of Potential within your body, giving the possessor a very high lower limit. However, the upper limit of bloodline power is limited to the Great Saint Realm. If you want to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, a special physique won't play a significant role, unless you are a descendant of an imperial being.

This is also one of the reasons why, in the original timeline, individuals with special physiques such as the Jade Green King, Twin Kings, Void Heaven Body, Nether King Physique, Yuhua King, and Brahma Battle Body were unable to advance beyond the Great Saint Realm.

The so-called special constitution and ordinary body are merely differences in the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

Like the Ruthless Great Emperor who devoured all the kings and took control of all the paths, she proved the Heavenly Heart through the Chaos Dao. When she mastered the Chaos Great Dao, she naturally transformed into Chaos Body.

If someone in the future possesses extraordinary talent and comprehends the Chaos Great Dao, they will naturally attain the Chaos Body.

All paths lead to the same destination; the Great Way is there, and it will not change or move.

As for the Sacred Body and the Heavenly Tyrant Blood, it's because their ancestors reached the Supreme Realm, unlocking the full Gate of Potential of their physical bodies and leaving behind their blood-tempering methods. This is why they were able to touch upon the Imperial Dao Laws with their perfected forms, earning them the title of Supreme Beings from all living beings...

Above the celestial clouds, Daoist Qingxuan paid no attention to the incident below. Celestial light flowed between his fingers and palms, and tens of thousands of Heavenly God meridians swirled, circulating the energy of the supreme Dao, constantly demonstrating the changes in the meridians of the "Zhe" character secret.

The ailing old man was also comprehending the Great Emperor's state of mind in Hengyu's Notes. His body was surrounded by Dao light, emitting a hazy glow, while wisps of pure white divine radiance shot out, turning and changing in the clouds and mist, gathering into the shape of a Dao lotus.

Auspicious colors filled the air, Immortal Qi abounded. Wisps of Taichu celestial light emanated from the sky, only to quickly shatter, repeating this cycle endlessly.

Hundreds of breaths later, the Saint Qingxuan moved, and crimson clouds surrounded him. Crystalline Immortal Phoenix coiled around his body, radiating magnificent light.

Order Divine Chains danced, as brilliant as Phoenix Blood Red Gold, while wisps of Chaos mist flowed, and strands of Immortal Qi surged forth—the transformation of Life essence.

"Inverse!"

A sacred and peaceful aura permeated the air, enveloping the area. The Daoist in blue robes shone with divine light in his eyes, and with a soft shout, his voice reverberated through the Void, as if reversing the River of Time, leading him from old age to his prime. The wrinkles on his face began to fade, and the white hair on his head began to turn black.

At this moment, he was no longer the old and emaciated man he once was. He stood tall and straight, with thick strands of blood energy shooting out and soaring into the sky. Chaos Immortal Light pierced through the Void around him, shimmering with a gray luster. He exuded an otherworldly and lofty aura, just like an immortal.

However, everything came to an end. In an instant, the immortal light dimmed, the Chaos dissipated, and those crimson-gold divine chains could no longer restrain his blood essence. Although the rate at which his essence dissipated slowed down considerably, it was still constantly disappearing.

He clenched his fist, holding the Tai Shi Dao Diagram True Phoenix Mark patterns within it, sighing, "Indeed, although it's touted as Longevity Immortality Technique, it can't affect one's lifespan!"

In the blink of an eye, this peak Saint King returned to his original appearance, with gray hair and a face covered in wrinkles, looking extremely old.
