Xiang Yun had been stunned for a moment, but he hadn't hesitated. He had chosen [Heavenly Tyrant Body] right away.
From the few things his adoptive father had let slip, he had learned that Xiang Huang's sect specialized in body-refining martial arts.
Naturally, he would follow his adoptive father's cultivation path. Why strike out on his own when he had connections and resources at his disposal?
He had spent so many years struggling in his previous life. What was wrong with enjoying himself in this one?
And among the three physiques,
[Heavenly Tyrant Body] was the strongest combat physique. It was an existence that could contend with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, that "Great Emperor churn,"
for supremacy.
The Divine King Body and Heavenly Demon Physique were good too, but the former relied mainly on divine abilities, while he felt the latter would turn him into a member of the demon race.
On the Tianxuan Continent, relations between the demon race and the human race weren't very good.
Besides, this was the Heavenly Tyrant Body, not the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
If it had been the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, he might have hesitated over whether to choose it.
After all, that physique was a bit of a resource hog.
The instant he made his choice, purple light filled heaven and earth. The Tyrant Body Nine Forms appeared in the sky, then descended into his body.
His adoptive father was so alarmed that he hurriedly examined his body. Soon, his eyes lit up, and he rushed Xiang Yun off to find an even bulkier giant of a man.
Only then did he learn that his adoptive father, Xiang Huang, was a peak master of the Primordial Hall, at the Advanced Life Profound Realm.
And the man Xiang Huang had brought him to meet was the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall.
Hong Wuji.
Only then did Xiang Yun realize that he had likely come to the world of Martial Universe.
Afterward, he became the disciple of the Primordial Hall's Hall Master.
He had cultivated ever since. He had originally thought the choice of three was just his newbie gift pack, but he hadn't expected that when he broke through to the Earth Yuan Realm,
the choice of three would appear again.
This time, the choices were [Thunder Emperor Precious Technique], [Grass Character Sword Art], and [Heavenly Horned Ant Precious Technique].
Seeing those three choices, did he even need to think?
Since he had joined the Primordial Hall and intended to walk the path of the physical body to its end, the Heavenly Horned Ant Precious Technique was naturally the best choice.
After mastering the Heavenly Horned Ant Precious Technique, he had no equal in the Primordial Hall among those at the same realm. At the Earth Yuan Realm, he fought those at the Heavenly Yuan Realm head-on, and even some ordinary Yuan Dan Realm cultivators fell to him.
He advanced triumphantly all the way, and after breaking through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, the choice of three appeared again.
[Great Devouring Technique], [Great Slaughter Technique], [Great Defense Technique].
Information flooded his mind.
These three arts came from the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Eternal Life World.
By the time Xiang Yun reached the Earth Yuan Realm, he had realized that his Tyrant Body required considerable resources. He had previously wondered whether to obtain the Devouring Ancestral Symbol ahead of time.
Now that he had the Great Devouring Technique, it was naturally better than the Devouring Ancestral Symbol by who knew how much.
Of the three, the Great Devouring Technique was naturally the best choice. After he chose it, a divine ability talisman appeared in his dantian.
With the aid of the Great Devouring Technique, he entered the Yuan Dan Realm at only twelve, and the three choices appeared.
[Innate Dao Embryo], [Desolate Ancient Sacred Body], [Origin Spirit Body].
This left Xiang Yun in a quandary. Honestly, according to his plans, he should have chosen the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
But the question was, could the Heavenly Tyrant Body merge with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?
It would be a joke if it made his body explode and killed him.
After all, both were supremely overbearing physiques.
And both were bottomless stomachs. Could the Primordial Hall afford to support him?
As for the Origin Spirit Body, it could absorb the Origin Qi of heaven and earth and even help others recover, but that was of no use to Xiang Yun.
It wasn't as though he was an altruistic person.
In the end, Xiang Yun chose the Innate Dao Embryo. It could make up for what he lacked in comprehension.
Besides, the Innate Dao Embryo had a strong capacity to accommodate other things.
This physique did more to enhance comprehension than to transform the body.
After choosing the Innate Dao Embryo, his terrifying comprehension allowed him to quickly grasp the Primordial Hall's many martial arts.
He even comprehended all of the Primordial Hall's Heavenly Martial Art, the Three Heaven-Breaking Forms. Whether he could use it in full was another matter.
Once he could fight those at the Creation Realm,
he was also made the Young Hall Master of the Primordial Hall. When he reached the Form Creation Realm, however, the choice of three that appeared surprised him somewhat.
[World Tree Sapling], [Seed of the Nascent Universe], [Myriad Dao Tree Seed].
All were Dao Seeds from Perfect World, Dao Seeds that could even allow one to become an immortal.
Did he even need to choose?
It had to be the World Tree Sapling. Once he chose it, the sapling took root directly in his dantian.
Just when he thought he would get another choice at the Qi Creation Realm, he discovered that, unexpectedly, no choice of three appeared.
Even at the Creation Realm, no choices appeared. It seemed that the choice of three treated the Form Creation Realm, Qi Creation Realm, and Creation Realm as a single realm.
Now he had reached the peak of the Creation Realm.
He had long ago ordered people to keep constant watch on the Great Yan Dynasty and report to him as soon as news of the Ancient Tomb Mansion appeared.
So he had hurried over. After all, there was a supreme opportunity here.
Ling Qingzhu.
Ling Qingzhu, who could allow him to comprehend Supreme Power, was a great opportunity. After all, if he wanted the Plane Embryo,
he had to start with the Supreme Induction Art.
Besides, he was just about to break through to the Nirvana Realm, so an extra Nirvana Heart was quite welcome.
Honestly, he did lust after Ling Qingzhu.
He was honest, and therefore upright!
Ling Qingzhu gave Xiang Yun a long look, her voice cool and distant.
"This is the Great Yan Dynasty's territory, after all, and they are all people of the Great Yan Dynasty. They have the right to enter this place too!"
Xiang Yun, however, gave a somewhat speechless smile. Had Ling Qingzhu been protected too well by the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?
Since when did a direct disciple of a super sect have to compete with people from a low-rank dynasty?
He shook his head, and Origin Energy instantly carried his voice outward, filled with an overbearing certainty that this was only natural.
"I'll give you three breaths. Get as far away as you can!"
At once,
silence fell over everyone present.
So overbearing, so direct. Was he really driving everyone away and claiming the Ancient Tomb Mansion for himself?
Everyone held their breath and looked to Lin Langtian and Qin Shi at the front, hoping they would speak up for them.
After all, those two were representatives of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Now that an outsider had come knocking, shouldn't the Great Yan Dynasty's favored sons of heaven speak up?
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when an aged voice rang out.
"Do not confront him. That presence belongs to one of those barbarians from the Primordial Hall. His attack just now wasn't made at full strength. I can sense an extremely terrifying power hidden within him."
Hearing Master Mu speak so cautiously, Lin Langtian couldn't help asking inwardly, Master Mu, even if I let you take over my body for a while, you still couldn't deal with him?
"There's someone at the Life Profound Realm nearby, probably this fellow's protector. If I appear, I'll likely be discovered."
The Life Profound Realm!!
Lin Langtian's pupils constricted. He knew what kind of existence that was.
An existence capable of destroying the entire Great Yan Dynasty with a single thought was actually this fellow's protector?
Lin Langtian, who had just been about to speak, fell silent. Then he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Xiang, I was rash. I'll take my people and leave at once!"
With that, he looked down at the Lin Family members below and said, "Everyone, leave!"
For his own safety, even the Lin Family members couldn't remain here. Otherwise, what if the anger was taken out on him?
Among the Lin Family group, Lin Dong clenched his teeth. This was a great opportunity. Was he really going to retreat just like that?
But Little Marten's voice sounded in his ear. There was a Life Profound Realm presence nearby, and even he didn't dare show himself carelessly.
Otherwise, someone might very well discover something unusual about the Mysterious Stone Talisman.
Compared with the Ancient Tomb Mansion, the Mysterious Stone Talisman was more important.
He could only leave with Lin Ke'er. Before leaving, he took a long look at Xiang Yun in the sky.
Was this the overbearingness of the strong?
Qin Shi saw that Lin Langtian, the strongest among them, didn't even have the slightest thought of trying.
Though he wasn't very strong, he was smart. If even Lin Langtian didn't dare provoke Xiang Yun, neither did he.
Better to leave those two dragons and tigers to fight it out.
Qin Shi felt somewhat helpless. This was just a small place, yet two big crocodiles had shown up.
"People of the Qin Family, let's go!"
As the Qin Family withdrew, the Wang Clan also hurried away, not even bothering with Wang Yan's corpse.
In the end, only a few independent cultivators remained, lingering nearby. Xiang Yun glanced at them; the strongest was only at the Body Tempering Ninth Level, so he couldn't be bothered with them.
