Three Great Physiques, Undercurrents Stirring
Ding~~~
Binding successful. Suddenly, a voice appeared in Yuan Zhexian's mind.
"It's here!"
"My golden finger is here!"
"I am the Supreme System. Would the host like to bind with me?"
"System! What functions do you have?"
"Host, this system is the Supreme System of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. It can help you become the supreme existence of the myriad heavens and worlds."
"This system has check-in and mission functions. After the first mission is completed, the system shop will open."
"Complete missions to receive corresponding mission points. Mission points can be used to buy anything the host wants in the shop." (Note: that means anything!)
"Sounds pretty good. All right, bind."
"Host successfully bound. Three special binding gift packs have been awarded. Would the host like to open them?"
"Confirm. Open them."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained six Supreme Bones."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one pair of Double Pupils."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one Eternal Immortal Scripture."
"Would you like to fuse them?"
"Fuse them," Yuan Zhexian answered without even thinking.
"D-Double Pupils!" A clan elder cried out in astonishment as he looked at Yuan Zhexian's newly opened eyes. Still basking in the joy of Yuan Zhexian's Chaos Physique, everyone heard the words "Double Pupils" and looked at his eyes in disbelief. By now, some of the clan elders were trembling slightly with excitement.
"This is our Yuan Clan's era! Our clan will surely reign over the nine heavens and ten lands. This child can definitely suppress this glorious age and sweep away all before him!"
"Double Pupils are one of the top ten physiques! Legend says that those with Double Pupils are undefeated and invincible. At full mastery, they can even create a great world of their own."
"No! Look, immortal Qi is still swirling around this child, as though he's nurturing an indescribable terror."
"Supreme Bones!!!! Those are Supreme Bones!!!"
Another clan elder let out a startled shriek. His body had begun to tremble violently, and his heart pounded, thump, thump, thump, as though it might burst from his chest.
Six bones glimmered faintly with a mysterious radiance, their surfaces covered in runes. They were located in Yuan Zhexian's forehead, limbs, and chest.
"Countless epochs ago, an invincible Great Emperor had a single Supreme Bone in his body. He swept through everything in his path, crushing all manner of heavenly prodigies and monstrous geniuses, and finally claimed the position of emperor."
"That Great Emperor had only one Supreme Bone!"
"This child has six. Doesn't that mean..."
"Heaven blesses our Yuan Clan. Heaven blesses our Yuan Clan!"
By now, Yuan Changsheng's fists were clenched tight. His eyes remained fixed on Yuan Zhexian, afraid that he might disappear the next moment. His body trembled uncontrollably as he muttered, "Chaos Physique, Supreme Bones, Double Pupils."
"Chaos Physique, Supreme Bones, Double Pupils."
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
"My son has the Chaos Physique, Supreme Bones, and Double Pupils! Of the ten great physiques, my son has three! He's certain to become an immortal. My son has the makings of an immortal!"
"Hahaha!"
Beside him, Yu Lingqing's body also trembled slightly, and his face was lit with joy. Although he hadn't shouted wildly like Yuan Changsheng, he was beside himself with delight. After all, his child had the talent to become an immortal, enough to dazzle all ages, without equal through the ages.
The Yuan Clan's ancestral land!
"I must take this child as my disciple. I must!" A grand elder roared wildly.
"Oh... are you sure you want to fight me for a disciple?"
"Hehe, you can't put it like that. He's the clan head's son. How can it be called fighting for him? This old man is teaching the clan head's legitimate son for him."
"What's there to fight over? You think he'll be ours just because we fight? The Ninth Ancestor is about to come out of seclusion in the ancestral land's forbidden zone. Even if you did win him, I'm afraid you'd have more trouble than you could handle."
The ancestors all looked over in disdain. "What about the Ninth Ancestor? If the clan leader's legitimate grandson attains the Dao someday, that would be enough to leave our names in the annals of history."
Immortal's teacher! That was the title of an immortal's teacher!
"Besides, you think we don't know? We need a blockhead like you to remind us? Aren't we just pretending to be muddleheaded when we know perfectly well?"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The void trembled, and a supremely exalted presence enveloped the entire hall.
An aged elder stepped out of the space. The presence surrounding him was as deep as an abyss, like that of a true immortal from the heavens. A single glance was enough to silence the old fellows, leaving them afraid to speak rashly.
His voice rang out in the void. "I name Yuan Zhexian the divine son of the Yuan Clan. He shall have access to all the Lineage's resources."
His voice echoed throughout the nine heavens and ten lands.
Everyone answered respectfully in unison. "Yes!"
"Our clan's divine son will surely lead our clan to reign over the nine heavens and ten lands."
"Chaos Physique, Supreme Bones, Double Pupils—these are the talents of an immortal!"
"Unrivaled throughout the ages! The mandate of heaven in this life will surely belong to the divine son."
One of the clansmen spoke up.
"You're wrong. I think the divine son may be more than unrivaled throughout the ages. I'm afraid there has never been another like him in all the ages."
The Yuan Clan's ancestral land!!!
The ancestor's voice came from the void once more. After the divine son turned three, he was to be sent to the forbidden zone of the ancestral land, where the ancestor would personally teach him.
Both Yuan Changsheng and Yuan Xun were overjoyed. That was the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan, a supreme existence who had become renowned countless epochs ago and one of the Yuan Clan's deepest reserves of power. Ordinary people, let alone entering the ancestral land's forbidden zone, weren't even qualified to see an ancestor. Yuan Xun and Yuan Changsheng had only been fortunate enough to meet the ancestors when they ascended to the position of clan leader back then. This was a heaven-sent opportunity!
At that moment, the supreme existences of several ancient lineages far beyond the Yuan Clan also turned their gazes toward it.
A supreme existence from one forbidden lineage spoke. "A phenomenon of heaven and earth, a divine son, the Yuan Clan. The Yuan Clan again!"
In the previous era, Yuan Changsheng alone had already pressed down on the heavenly prodigies and monstrous geniuses of that age until they could scarcely breathe. Only a few tens of thousands of years had passed. Was his son about to follow Yuan Changsheng's example and suppress an entire era as well?
A supreme existence from another forbidden lineage also spoke. "Hmph! Only a living monstrous genius is qualified to prove his strength. The heavenly prodigies and monstrous geniuses of our clan also possess the talent to become Great Emperors."
"When the time comes, it will naturally become clear who is stronger and who is weaker."
"Exactly! A heavenly prodigy or monstrous genius who hasn't grown up is nothing to fear."
The supreme existences spoke one after another.
"A golden age of the Great Dao is also an age of chaos. As for who will rise and who will fall, only the Great Emperor of the current age is qualified to open the path to immortality. Everyone, we should make our plans early, lest we give the Yuan Clan an opportunity to exploit."
With that, the voice vanished into the space. The supreme existences of the other ancient lineages also returned to make their own preparations for this golden age of the Great Dao.
The Netherworld Land, one of the ten lands, was a place cultivators regarded as an absolute forbidden zone.
A voice broke the silence there.
"The Yuan Clan."
"That battle back then forced us to recuperate for several epochs. This time, we'll collect the debt with interest. Divine sons, divine daughters, and imperial sons are where the fortune of a clan, a land, or a dynasty resides. Kill the Yuan Clan's divine son, and the Yuan Clan's fortune will drain away. Then we'll see how much longer they can jump around."
"Ming Tian!!"
A person dressed in dark cyan robes stepped out. His face was gloomy, and a powerful, dark presence emanated from his entire body.
He knelt on one knee and said, "Netherworld Lord, you summoned me?"
The Netherworld Lord was one of the ancient emperors of the current age in the Netherworld Land.
"Ming Tian! You are the holy son of our Netherworld Land and the foremost of its younger generation. I have discussed this with the other masters of the forbidden zones. In this golden age of the Great Dao, you and the other forbidden zones' holy sons must kill the Yuan Clan's divine son. You cannot let him grow up."
"Do you understand?"
Looking at the Netherworld Lord before him, who radiated an ancient and powerful presence, Ming Tian's heart trembled. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the Netherworld Lord's eyes.
"Netherworld Lord, rest assured. I was born with the Netherworld Physique, and with the sacred Netherworld Heart, I can face any of the ten great physiques head-on, let alone a newborn divine son!!!" Ming Tian said with his head lowered.
"Hmm!"
A powerful presence slammed straight into Ming Tian as he knelt on one knee, drawing a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ming Tian hurriedly got back up and continued kneeling on one knee.
"Ming Tian, you must understand that the Dao has no end. Beyond every person stands another, and beyond every heaven lies another heaven. Don't be so arrogant. You should rein yourself in a little. Do you understand?"
"As you command, Netherworld Lord. Ming Tian understands."
"You may leave. When the Divine Source Secret Realm opens, we'll handle what comes before. You only need to join the other forbidden zones' holy sons in hunting down and killing the Yuan Clan's divine son. Once he falls, you'll have a chance to compete for the position of Great Emperor. Then we'll see who in the nine heavens can stand in our way.
"To extend our lives and become immortals, we'll stop at nothing."
The Demon Domain, the Imperial Mountain Range.
The clan leader of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan muttered to himself, "Yuan Changsheng, you nearly crippled me in that battle back then. It took me tens of thousands of years to escape the nightmare of you. In this golden age of the Great Dao, let's see how much longer you can remain so arrogant. Our clan's Little Peng King not only has eighty percent of his bloodline reverted to its ancestral state, but he was also born with the Law of Speed. Let's see how your clan's divine son can compete with our Little Peng King."
The supreme existences of several other immortal holy lands, immortal dynasties, and Demon Domain imperial clans also began communicating with one another, making preparations for the battles to come on the path to the imperial throne.
