110: Is Qing Youyou going to give away her Dao Body Origin?
One hundred years later.
Jiesheng Sect.
Six divine lights swirled around Shen Xuansheng: Li Fire, Flowing Silver, Darkness, Azure Blue, Gilded Gold, and Blood Red.
"The Fusion of the Karmic Fire actually took a hundred years."
Shen Xuansheng inhaled and exhaled spiritual energy, and the six divine lights vanished into his body.
The Seven-Colored Dao Body now had six colors, with only the last one remaining.
"Six types of Dao Bodies, but unfortunately, my Comprehension Ability is poor. Out of the six Dao Body divine abilities, I can't even comprehend five of them right now," Shen Xuansheng said regretfully, watching the divine light of the six Dao Bodies flow in his palm.
"This palace finally understands," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said, appearing beside Shen Xuansheng at some unknown moment. Her body was much more solid than it had been a hundred years ago, almost indistinguishable from a physical form.
"What has Senior understood?" Shen Xuansheng asked curiously.
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox gave him a flat look. "Your Aptitude is poor, and your Comprehension Ability is almost non-existent."
"It's simply incredible that you could reach your current Realm. Cultivating you could be called a waste."
Shen Xuansheng: "...!"
"Senior, you should just focus on your recovery. Stop trying to understand things!"
Shen Xuansheng suddenly asked out of curiosity, "By the way, Senior, what is your name? I can't keep calling you 'Senior' all the time, right? It's too formal."
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox gave a soft snort.
"Don't you already know?"
Shen Xuansheng was taken aback. "I know?"
"Su Daji!"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said.
Shen Xuansheng's eyes widened. "You're really called Su Daji?"
Su Daji looked at Shen Xuansheng suspiciously. "Is there a problem?"
Shen Xuansheng's eyes immediately lit up. He leaned in and asked, "Then, were you killed by the God-Beating Whip?"
Su Daji: "...!"
"How do you know that?"
Shen Xuansheng sucked in a breath of cold air. "Was the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty destroyed by the Great Zhou?"
Su Daji looked at Shen Xuansheng strangely and asked, "Does the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty have that kind of capability?"
"Besides, when the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty existed, there were only three Celestial Dynasties in the world. The fall of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty had nothing to do with other nations."
Shen Xuansheng rubbed his chin. "The names are the same, but the events are different."
"Could it just be a coincidence between different worlds?"
Shen Xuansheng looked at Su Daji and shook his head slightly. "I feel like I'm looking at an ancestor."
Su Daji's face darkened.
"Chronologically speaking, it's actually reasonable for you to call me an ancestor."
As Su Daji spoke, she flicked her finger and said to Shen Xuansheng, "Inside this are the things I'll need next. Find them for me."
"Oh, right. When you went into seclusion a hundred years ago, you said you'd find me a body with the Bloodline of my Fox Clan. It's time to prepare for that."
Su Daji stood up and stretched her waist, and Shen Xuansheng watched her without blinking.
A smile curled on Su Daji's lips. "Do I look good?"
"Peerless!" Shen Xuansheng exclaimed.
Su Daji's figure blurred, and she appeared behind Shen Xuansheng, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Then hurry up and find me a suitable body. When the time comes, I'll not only let you look your fill, but also..."
A pink light entered Shen Xuansheng's ear, dazing his mind. Waves surged in Shen Xuansheng's Sea of Consciousness, but the bronze sarcophagus directly shattered the pink light.
"Whew!"
Shen Xuansheng's eyes regained their clarity. He turned to look at Su Daji, who was close at hand. "This Shen is not fond of feminine charms!"
Su Daji chuckled, her body dissipating as she returned to Shen Xuansheng's Sea of Consciousness.
"You thing, you've followed this palace for countless years, yet now you're helping this kid!" Su Daji scolded the bronze sarcophagus.
*Swoosh!*
Suddenly.
The Life-Slaying Sword flew in and said to Shen Xuansheng, "Your Revered Master told me to tell you that once you finish your seclusion, you should head to the Red River. He said Qing Youyou came looking for you thirty years ago."
Hearing this, Shen Xuansheng thought back to their time in the Heavenly Palace.
"Qing Youyou is looking for me?"
The Life-Slaying Sword said, "She said that once you go, she will separate her own Dao Body Origin Essence and give it to you."
"Whether you go or not is up to you."
Clouds formed beneath Shen Xuansheng's feet. "I'm going!"
The Life-Slaying Sword followed beside Shen Xuansheng and said, "Aren't you afraid that woman is plotting against you? I've heard that in these hundred years, quite a few people have died at her hands."
"And they all died there at the Red River."
Sitting on the cloud, Shen Xuansheng said to the Life-Slaying Sword, "Brother Sheng, since Revered Master had you pass on the message, what does that indicate?"
Life-Slaying Sword: "What does it indicate?"
"Only benefits, no drawbacks!"
"My Seven-Colored Dao Body is only missing the last element. I have no reason to refuse."
"I've seen the list of those with Innate Dao Bodies in the Eastern Region. Their Dao Bodies can't match the strength of my other six paths. There's no reason for me to refuse Qing Youyou's Dao Body now that she's offering it."
Su Daji's figure appeared again, and she asked, "Aren't you afraid of exposing the Seven-Colored Dao Body?"
Shen Xuansheng said speechlessly, "Senior, do you think I can hide it from Experts who are on the same level as my Revered Master?"
"And besides, I don't plan on hiding it."
The rulers of various Imperial Dynasties and the leaders of Great Sects have all set their sights on him before. Shen Xuansheng didn't think he could escape their gaze.
If these people wanted to investigate, they might even be able to calculate his past life, let alone his Dao Body.
Hiding?
It's simply a fantasy!
"Hmm, not bad. You have some self-awareness." Su Daji lay down directly beside Shen Xuansheng and said, "The Red River has existed since ancient times. Back then, it was one of the passages leading to the Netherworld."
"It was also a passage for those from the Lower Realm to reach this world without undergoing Ascension."
"Although countless years have passed, the characteristics of the Red River haven't changed. Kid, there's no need to be overly cautious this time. If necessary, this palace will lend you a hand. I won't let the resources from this past century go to waste."
Shen Xuansheng: "Thank you, Senior!"
Su Daji waved her hand. "However, I have one condition. Let those twins of yours receive my Legacy later, how about it?"
Shen Xuansheng looked at Su Daji curiously. "Senior has taken an interest in them?"
"The Origin of your Seven-Colored Dao Body is the same as theirs. The Karma between you is predestined, unless you strip away the Seven-Colored Dao Body," Su Daji said.
"In this world, what is most feared is Karma."
"You are destined to never be able to leave them."
Shen Xuansheng also knew in his heart that with Zhong Li and Zhong Yue around, even if his Divine Soul were completely destroyed, as long as a sliver of the Dao Body Origin Essence remained, he could be resurrected. He couldn't die!
Therefore.
That was why Shen Xuansheng didn't let them go out and kept them cultivating in the Jiesheng Sect.
He was afraid too!
With his Revered Master in the Jiesheng Sect, Zhong Li and Zhong Yue would never be in any mortal danger.
"Speaking of which, you worry too much. While it's true you can't die as long as they are around, they also can't die as long as you are around," Su Daji said calmly. "You protect them so much, but are they never supposed to leave the Jiesheng Sect?"
