Chapter 73
Ancient Sacred Body, Law of Power!
[Ding! Successfully intercepted a drop of the essence blood of Xiao Fan, the Chosen One of Destiny, whose golden opportunity has reached its peak and who possesses the Ancient Sacred Body. Triggered a 10000x critical hit, returning the Ancient Sacred Body (which has broken nine shackles). Reward: 10,000 Destiny Points]
[Ancient Sacred Body: A special physique from the ancient times, possessing unparalleled physical strength; upon reaching its full potential, it can rival true immortals.]
Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Yuan's breathing quickened.
Moreover, it is an ancient holy body that has already broken through nine shackles!
"Is this what it feels like to be cheating?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and, without the slightest hesitation, flashed back to the secret room prepared for him by the Gu family.
"System, extract rewards and merge!"
boom!
The voice just fell.
An indescribable, terrifying power suddenly appeared out of nowhere within Lu Yuan's body.
This power is domineering, fiery, and ancient, carrying a heavy feeling that seems capable of crushing the heavens.
Click!Click!
Lu Yuan's entire skeleton began to crackle like popping beans.
His blood began to turn golden at that moment.
The originally crimson blood quickly turned into a brilliant golden color, each drop of blood seemingly containing a deity, radiating endless life essence.
Simultaneously.
Deep within his body, it seemed as if mysterious treasures were being unlocked.
This feeling is like breaking free from some kind of shackles of life, evolving from an ordinary being into a higher level of divinity.
There was no pain whatsoever, only endless comfort and power.
This is because it's a perfect constitution returned by the system, and there are no side effects or rejection reactions.
Half a day later.
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Two golden beams of light shot out from his eyes, piercing through the walls of the secret chamber and soaring into the sky.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sky above Tianyuan City changed color.
Countless golden clouds gathered, and within those clouds, a blurry yet majestic figure emerged.
The figure sat cross-legged high in the heavens, surrounded by phantom images of divine beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin, as if he were an unparalleled celestial king looking down upon the mortal world.
It is the extraordinary phenomenon of the Ancient Sacred Body, the Immortal King descending upon the Nine Heavens!
This moment.
All the cultivators in Tianyuan City felt a sense of suppression originating from the depths of their bloodline, and involuntarily wanted to prostrate themselves in worship.
"What...is that phenomenon?"
"Celestial King... Could it be that an immortal has descended?"
Countless people looked up in awe, their faces filled with shock.
Inside the secret room.
Lu Yuan extracted the essence blood of the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body from the source stone and directly refined it using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. Since it was of the same origin as his own Ancient Sacred Body, the refining process was quite smooth.
One hour later.
Lu Yuan stood up, his whole body surrounded by golden light, his skin as clear as jade. He didn't seem particularly strong, but every inch of his flesh contained a terrifying power capable of overturning rivers and seas.
"Fifth-Order Body Refinement!"
"His physical body is comparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator!"
Lu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the golden blood and qi surging like the sea within his body.
Having merely refined a drop of the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body's essence blood, his physical cultivation level directly surpassed the Nascent Soul stage, reaching the fifth level, comparable to a Void Refinement stage demon beast!
and.
He could sense that this was far from the limit.
Most of the power of that drop of Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body essence blood is still settled in his body. With future cultivation, it will continuously nourish his physical body and make him stronger.
"Now that the physical body has reached the Void Refinement stage, then this law..."
Lu Yuan's mind stirred.
A brand new wave of law pulsed at his fingertips.
It is the purest, most primitive, yet most domineering law.
The Law of Force!
One force can overcome all laws!
The moment he reached the stage of refining his physical body, he naturally comprehended this supreme law that only those who primarily cultivate their physical body could master, and directly skipped the initial stage, reaching the fourth level of transformation!
"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art, refine it again!"
Lu Yuan was not satisfied.
He took out the essence of the Blood God's flesh and blood that he had previously sealed away and swallowed it directly.
With the bottomless pit of the Ancient Sacred Body, this amount of energy is simply not enough to fill a gap in their teeth.
Another half hour passed.
When Lu Yuan stepped out of the secret chamber again, the golden light on his body had completely subsided, making him appear as simple and natural as an ordinary person.
However, if a high-level cultivator were to use their divine sense to investigate, they would be horrified to discover that it seemed as if an ancient dragon was lurking within Lu Yuan's body, capable of causing upheaval with the slightest movement.
"My husband!"
As soon as he came out of the pass, Gu Qingxue came to greet him.
She had changed into clean clothes, but still carried a hint of murderous intent, clearly indicating that she had just finished dealing with the affairs of the three major families.
Looking at Lu Yuan in front of her, a strange light flashed in Gu Qingxue's beautiful eyes.
She keenly sensed that her husband seemed to have become stronger and more unfathomable. The subtle masculine aura he exuded made her feel weak all over, even just by getting close to him.
"Congratulations, my husband, on mastering your divine skills!"
Gu Qingxue bowed gracefully, her eyes filled with joy.
"Um."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and glanced at the storage rings behind her: "Is everything taken care of?"
"My lord, the remnants of the three great families have all been executed, and all their assets and resources have been inventoried."
As Gu Qingxue spoke, she handed over several storage rings: "These are some of the more precious resources. Please take a look, my husband."
Lu Yuan glanced at them and then waved his hand: "These things are useless to me. You can leave them to the Gu family, or you can choose some to take back to your sect yourself."
"Thank you, my husband!"
Gu Qingxue felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her husband was indirectly helping her family.
……
That night.
It's past midnight.
[Ding! Daily intelligence update!]
[Green Intelligence: In the corner of the Hundred Forging Workshop in the east of Tianyuan City, there is a broken sword covered in dust.]
This sword may appear to be scrap metal, but it is actually forged from the essence of ancient Geng metal. Although it has lost all its spiritual power, it contains extremely high-quality Geng metal essence, making it an excellent auxiliary material for cultivating metal-based techniques or forging top-grade spiritual treasures.

[Purple Intelligence: Xiao Fan, the chosen one of destiny, will go to Tingyuxuan Tea House in Tianyuan City at Chenshi today to find a jar of moldy tea cake. With the guidance of the Medicine Venerable, Xiao Fan recognizes that the mold is the Dao Rhyme Frost that has accumulated over the years, and there is a tea leaf for enlightenment hidden inside the tea cake.]
Drinking this tea can cleanse the mind and soul, leading to a state of enlightenment and significantly enhancing one's understanding of the laws. [Click to view coordinates]
[White Intelligence: The Seven Star Sword Master and the Mysterious Sword Master of the Great Luo Sword Sect have secretly reached an agreement. Unwilling to be humiliated, they plan to spread rumors throughout the cultivation world of the Great Yan Kingdom.]
The host, in order to monopolize the Blood River Ancestor's legacy in the Fallen Demon Valley, deliberately watched as righteous disciples were killed without offering any assistance, intending to tarnish the reputation of the Qingyun Sect, and joined forces with sects such as the Purple Mansion Holy Land to put pressure on the Qingyun Sect.
After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Lu Yuan's eyes gradually became playful.
"Spreading rumors? Jointly exerting pressure?"
Lu Yuan chuckled.
"It seems the lessons we learned before weren't profound enough."
"The Great Luo Sword Sect... perhaps it's time for someone else to take over one of the top ten immortal sects."
However, there's no rush.
Once we return to our clan, we'll have plenty of time to play with them.
