Chapter 139: Moon-Devouring Yin-Swallowing Body — Long Xinyue!

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she had just recalled certain events that took place in the Weiyang Immortal Realm before she was sealed.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji revealed to you that she came from the Weiyang Immortal Realm.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that, back then, something extremely serious had happened in the Great Thousand Worlds, and the Human Emperor had summoned all the great experts to gather in the Weiyang Immortal Realm.】

【“I don’t know exactly what that matter was. I only know that if it hadn’t been handled properly, the entire Great Thousand Worlds would have fallen into destruction.”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she was sealed inside the Immortal Source before the Human Emperor set out to resolve that matter, and that when she next awoke, she was already inside the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Bizarre Immortal Race now appearing in the Canglan Realm was very likely a result of that incident from back then.】

【“As for what the Weiyang Immortal Realm is like now, I don’t know whether it has become like the Canglan Realm...”】

【You comforted Xuanyuan Tianji and told her not to think too much about it for now, and to focus on cultivation first.】

【The next day!】

【You bought a small courtyard in the Qin Kingdom. You and Xuanyuan Tianji settled down there and began cultivating in earnest.】

【Year Three!】

【After only a year of cultivation, you discovered that your cultivation was progressing at a rate visible to the naked eye. You believed it would not be long before you broke through to the Mahayana Realm.】

【During that year, you discovered that cultivators in the Canglan Realm were under strict control.】

【You found that there were no independent cultivators in the Qin Kingdom.】

【Here, all cultivation techniques and resources were controlled by the imperial family. Anyone who wished to cultivate had to join an academy. Only by joining an academy could one cultivate.】

【Naturally, you knew why things were like this, but those humans who knew nothing of the truth were stepping into the abyss one step at a time.】

【Year Four!】

【Beginning that year, you resumed cultivating the Divine Power—Heavenslaying.】

【Before this, you had already completed the first layer of Heavenslaying, and now you began the second phase of cultivation.】

【You knew that to complete the second step of refining the sword and fusing the spirit, you needed to use your own Primordial Spirit as the furnace and Sword Essence as the fire, tempering the Heavenslaying Sword Embryo without ceasing.】

【Year Five!】

【After a year of cultivation, your Heavenslaying Sword Embryo had taken initial shape, but it was still not complete.】

【Year Six!】

【After continuous tempering, your Heavenslaying Sword Embryo finally took form.】

【You could not help but sigh inwardly. The Canglan Realm truly was different. Its laws were far more complete than those of the Dead Land, making it much easier to sense Sword Dao and Sword Intent.】

【At present, although your Heavenslaying Sword Embryo had taken shape, there was still one final step missing before the second phase of Heavenslaying could be completed—and it was also the most important step in the entire cultivation of Heavenslaying.】

【You needed to find a land of destruction and draw a thread of the Law of Destruction into the Heavenslaying Sword Embryo. Only then could your Heavenslaying Sword Embryo reach completion.】

【But this was also what gave you the greatest headache. You knew absolutely nothing about the Canglan Realm, and the map Yue Liuli had given you contained no information at all about the various forbidden lands.】

【Left with no other choice, you went to find Xuanyuan Tianji and brought her with you, planning to listen to performances in the Qin Kingdom and see whether you could learn more about the Canglan Realm.】

【The next day!】

【You brought Xuanyuan Tianji to the largest Rainbow Bridge in the Qin Kingdom and began listening to storytellers there.】

【But to your disappointment, most of what was told there was merely gossip related to the Qin Kingdom.】

【So from then on, every day afterward, you brought Xuanyuan Tianji there for one shichen.】

【One month later!】

【On that day, Xuanyuan Tianji suddenly spoke.】

【“Do you see that boy over there? I’ve been watching him for a month, and I’ve found him a little unusual!”】

【Following Xuanyuan Tianji’s gaze, you looked over and saw that the other party was an ordinary mortal with no cultivation at all, and you turned to Xuanyuan Tianji in puzzlement.】

【“What’s unusual about him?”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the little boy’s soul was incomplete, but his physique was rather special, to the point that even she could not tell what kind of physique he had.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that someone with a special physique should not possibly have no cultivation whatsoever.】

【Upon hearing that, you no longer underestimated the boy before you and directly used the True Eye to inspect him.】

【Long Xinyue: Human Race】

【Physique: Moon-Devouring Yin-Swallowing Body】

【Note: A rare special physique. On nights of the full moon, he can devour moonlight and yin qi, converting them into his own power and greatly increasing his strength for a short time.】

【Special: Void Nether Dao Fruit (Fragment)】

【Cultivation: None】

【Spiritual Root: None】

【Primordial Spirit: Fragmented (Moon)】

【You had not expected that this ordinary-looking mortal was actually the reincarnation of a mighty expert.】

【You knew that to possess a Dao Fruit, one had to complete the Ninth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage, and only at the very moment of becoming an Immortal would a Dao Fruit condense.】

【Now, seeing Long Xinyue’s condition, you could roughly guess that he was a reincarnated being, though you had no idea why his Primordial Spirit was incomplete.】

【You told Xuanyuan Tianji what you had seen.】

【“Moon-Devouring Yin-Swallowing Body?”】

【“No Spiritual Root?”】

【“An incomplete Primordial Spirit?”】

【After hearing the series of things you described, Xuanyuan Tianji nodded thoughtfully.】

【“No wonder...”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the reason Long Xinyue could not cultivate was because his Primordial Spirit was incomplete. As long as his missing soul could be found, then even without a Spiritual Root, he would still be able to cultivate rapidly through the Moon-Devouring Yin-Swallowing Body.】

【Looking at Long Xinyue in the distance, you did not know why, but you could sense a faint sadness coming from him.】

【Suddenly, a thought arose in your heart. You wanted to take Long Xinyue away, and you found yourself wondering whether, in the future, you might be able to help him recover his complete Primordial Spirit.】

【“Forget it. If it comes to worst, using the Heavenly Secrets Art to search for his Primordial Spirit isn’t impossible either.”】

【You did not wish to see Long Xinyue spend his entire life in the Qin Kingdom, living in obscurity like this.】

【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you intended to take Long Xinyue with you and let him cultivate alongside you.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji had no objection to your idea.】

【You walked over to Long Xinyue and told him that your household currently lacked a steward, and that if he followed you, he would no longer need to beg on the streets every day.】

【After looking at you several times with his pure, clear eyes, Long Xinyue nodded and agreed to go with you.】

【And just like that, you brought Long Xinyue back to your residence.】

【After returning there, Long Xinyue suddenly spoke.】

【“Big Brother, I can see that there’s something sinister inside your body.”】

【“Big Brother, you’re a good person. I don’t want that sinister thing to harm you!”】

【The moment those words were spoken, you abruptly turned to look at Long Xinyue.】

【At the same time, Xuanyuan Tianji also looked at Long Xinyue with curiosity on her face.】

【Naturally, you knew what the sinister thing Long Xinyue was referring to was. Other than the Bizarre Insect, you could think of no other possibility.】

【“You can see the Bizarre Insect inside my body?”】
