Awakening the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos

"Your rewards are stored in the system space, host. You can take them out whenever you like."

At last, the system thoughtfully reminded him.

Ling Yun, meanwhile, could not make sense of it all for a long time.

A long while passed.

A knock came from outside, cutting off Ling Yun's thoughts. Before he could react, several burly men had already squeezed inside.

"Madam Wang ordered us to take the former heir to the royal mausoleum," their leader said.

Ling Yun sighed inwardly, but on second thought, he decided it was not so bad.

He had yet to make use of the treasures the system had just given him, and he needed a quiet place where no one would disturb him. The royal mausoleum was an excellent choice.

By now, Ling Yun had made up his mind.

He would lie low!

Until he was strong enough to stand up to Madam Wang or uncover the mastermind behind it all, he would cultivate in peace inside the royal mausoleum.

So Ling Yun obediently followed the burly men. After half a day's walk, they finally reached the royal mausoleum in the back mountains-a treasured site with excellent feng shui.

It was, after all, the Royal Mausoleum of the royal manor's lineage, where the former kings and ancestors of the direct line were buried. It had been built on a grand and lavish scale.

As for Ling Yun, they claimed he was there to guard the Royal Mausoleum, but in truth, they had placed him under house arrest.

At last, Ling Yun settled in, sitting cross-legged on the bed in a small wooden hut.

He had yet to reforge his dantian. According to the system, it was best to absorb the Primordial Immortal Pill first!

This was a genuine immortal pill, a pill of the immortal Dao that did not belong to this world, made expressly to defy heaven and change one's fate!

For Ling Yun, taking it would make his body and soul flawless, raise his aptitude to the highest level, and regenerate his dantian. More importantly, it would awaken the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos!

Even Ling Yun had never imagined that he possessed the legendary, fearsome immortal physique!

The Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos was a supreme physique renowned alongside such top-tier immortal physiques as the Chaos Physique and the Five Primordials Immortal Physique!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ling Yun's mind, but in the end, he calmed his heart and swallowed the golden immortal pill in one gulp.

Almost instantly, the Primordial Immortal Pill turned into streams of warmth that surged through his limbs and bones. Under their impact, his body underwent an earth-shaking transformation!

Heaven and earth blazed with light, and myriad rays filled the blue sky. Boundless nine-colored clouds poured down, drawing in Spiritual Qi from ten thousand miles around at tremendous speed.

But the system concealed every one of these phenomena. Outsiders could neither see nor observe them; they could only sense that the Spiritual Qi in the air had suddenly grown richer for some unknown reason.

An unknown length of time passed, and Ling Yun's whole bearing had changed:

A graceful youth sat cross-legged there, his features sharp, as though he were a celestial being. His hair was like satin, his skin like jade, and his flesh and bones were like an immortal's. His posture and bearing resembled green bamboo and a sturdy pine.

At a certain moment, his eyes flew open, his gaze like lightning and his pupils like a starry abyss. A mysterious, wondrous presence spread out from him, encompassing all things in the world.

At the same time, the Great Dao resonated between heaven and earth, immortal music rang out in waves, spirit clouds turned to rain, and auspicious beasts cried out in harmony.

At the very center of it all, Ling Yun gave a clear shout, and crisp sounds of breakthroughs rang out from within him in succession!

When everything finally quieted down, Ling Yun was delighted to discover that he had reached the peak of the Essence Condensation Realm, only one step away from entering the Core Formation Realm!

Starting from the Body Tempering Realm, he had broken through two major realms in succession and reached the Essence Condensation Realm in a single leap!

He was far more powerful than he had been before.

Before his cultivation was crippled, he had only just reached the early stage of the Essence Condensation Realm. Now, his dantian had been remade, and he had awakened the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos.

Ling Yun looked within himself and found that his body had become tough and flawless, his meridians resilient, and his Spiritual Yuan circulated without end. He had no idea how much stronger he was than an ordinary Essence Condensation Realm cultivator.

He had a feeling that even if he faced a Core Formation Realm cultivator now, he would have nothing to fear!

"Ah, what a pity this Primordial Immortal Pill isn't the kind of immortal pill that increases cultivation. Otherwise, wouldn't I have become an immortal on the spot?"

The Primordial Immortal Pill was a pill that defied heaven and changed fate. It remade one's bones, reforged one's dantian, awakened the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos, and raised one's aptitude to the very top!

At that thought, Ling Yun could not help shaking his head.

He really had lost his head. Having the system remake his bones and dantian was already defying heaven. To want to ascend to heaven in a single step as well was far too greedy.

Next, Ling Yun turned his attention to the other two rewards.

One was the supreme imperial scripture, the Myriad Dao Immortal Scripture!

The emperor in its name was not a Great Emperor of this world, but an immortal emperor who transcended the mortal world and stood apart in the immortal domains of the boundless upper realms!

"It's terrifying. I've obtained an imperial scripture this formidable all at once, and it's an exclusive imperial scripture perfectly suited to the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos. I, Ling Yun, am the only one in all the heavens and myriad worlds who can cultivate it."

According to the system, only one person in an era could possess each of those top-tier immortal physiques. In other words, as long as Ling Yun lived, no second Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos would be born!

The other reward was a Great Emperor's inheritance in pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans.

This Great Emperor was indeed a Great Emperor of this world.

Although it was nowhere near as valuable as the first two gifts from the system, it was still something the original owner of this body would never have dared dream of before.

The Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos encompassed all things in the world and embraced the myriad Daos of the heavens like the sea receiving a hundred rivers. For Ling Yun, no divine ability, secret art, supreme divine technique, or heaven-reaching cultivation method could stand in his way.

In theory, as long as he wished it, every kind of Great Dao in the world could be used by him, without the slightest rejection!

At the thought, Ling Yun found the Immortal Physique of Myriad Daos even more terrifying. Not only did it mean he could achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation, but it also meant he possessed absolutely top-tier comprehension!

"Right, I haven't checked in yet!"

Suddenly, Ling Yun's eyes lit up. He remembered that checking in was the system's core function.

"System, I want to check in!"

The next moment, a synthesized electronic voice rang out once more.

"Ding-congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in at the royal mausoleum and obtained a sixth-tier supreme-grade magic artifact-the Three-Inch Flying Immortal."

Ling Yun's face lit up with joy, and he took out the magic artifact he had obtained from checking in.

"Five flying swords!"

Five small, exquisite flying swords floated in the air. Each sword blade was three inches and three feet long, and they gave off incomparably sharp Metal Qi, stirring the surrounding space into chaos.

Ling Yun tried injecting Spiritual Yuan into them. In an instant, the five flying swords seemed to come alive, flickering with pale sword light over a zhang long. They were terrifying to behold!

"How wondrous!"

At that moment, Ling Yun felt a profound connection between himself and the flying swords.

"Unfortunately, I still can't fully use the Three-Inch Flying Immortal as I am now."

After a while, Ling Yun sensed his Spiritual Yuan being depleted at a tremendous rate. Only then did he stop examining the swords, murmuring with some regret.

The Three-Inch Flying Immortal was a sixth-tier supreme-grade magic artifact, corresponding to Dao Palace Realm Perfection. That realm was still a long way off for him, far beyond his present reach.

The strongest people in the entire Ling Kingdom were in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

His father, the Spirit King, the reigning sovereign, several senior members of the imperial family, and the people in power at the other royal manors all possessed that level of cultivation.

And the Dao Palace Realm stood above the Primordial Spirit Realm!

No such figure had appeared in the Ling Kingdom for a thousand years.

"The Three-Inch Flying Immortal... I seem to have read about it in the clan's records. It was the magic artifact of the first Spirit King of my Spirit King's Manor a thousand years ago, but it was destroyed in the upheaval caused by evil cultivators back then."

A thousand years ago, the Ling Kingdom had only recently been founded and was at the height of its prosperity. Its fame had shaken the Eastern Desolation, for it had produced several Dao Palace Realm experts!

The first Spirit King had been one of them.

Unfortunately, evil cultivators emerged, and the Ling Kingdom's magnificent fortune was spent resisting them. As a result, after a period of prosperity, it gradually fell into decline.

By now, it could no longer produce Dao Palace Realm experts at all.

Ling Yun sighed at the thought, even as his resolve to grow stronger became firmer.

After all, this otherworld was still far too dangerous. His father in this world, the dignified reigning Spirit King and a Primordial Spirit Realm expert, had been bitten by an unidentified poisonous insect. Now, he could only cling to a thread of life, spending his days in a stupor.

P.S. The protagonist will keep getting stronger, so please be patient and keep reading!
