516: Chapter 516 The Temptation of a Top-Tier Immortal Body!

Opposite Yingxian Restaurant, deep within a dark alley soaked in the smell of fishy water and mildew.

A temporary secret room, shrouded by several layers of Concealment Immortal Formations, completely swallowed all light and sound.

"Pfft!"

Lin Wan suddenly arched her body and spat out another mouthful of stale blood churning with black electric arcs.

The blood splattered on the ground, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

She sat cross-legged as Zhao Qingyi channeled streams of pure immortal essence into her body, her expression solemn as she helped her disperse the destructive Purple-Gold Lightning Power within her Meridians.

Zhang Ningshuang paced back and forth anxiously to the side, her face whiter than plaster, having completely lost her composure.

"Junior Sister Lin, you... how are you doing?"

"That lightning... what on earth was that lightning? That little girl... she's not human at all, she's a monster!"

Zhang Ningshuang's voice was sharp and trembling, filled with a sob.

That Purple-Gold Divine Lightning that descended from the void—just a sliver of its leaked aura had almost frozen her Divine Soul.

She couldn't even imagine what kind of terrifying destruction Lin Wan, who was struck head-on, was enduring.

However, Lin Wan's reaction caused the temperature in the secret room to suddenly drop to the freezing point.

She didn't answer, only slowly opening her eyes.

In those eye sockets scorched black by the lightning, not a single trace of pain or fear could be seen; instead, two morbid, twisted flames were burning!

She reached out a still-trembling, nearly roasted hand and gently stroked her equally charred cheek.

The sensation was like touching a piece of cold charcoal.

Then, she laughed.

"Hehe... hehehehe..."

The laughter was hoarse, like a broken bellows being pulled; in this deathly silent secret room, it made Zhang Ningshuang's and Zhao Qingyi's scalps tingle.

"Junior Sister Lin, you... don't be like this! Don't scare me!" Zhang Ningshuang was truly on the verge of tears.

"I'm fine."

Lin Wan's laughter stopped abruptly.

She pushed away Zhao Qingyi's hand which was healing her and suddenly raised her head, those two morbidly fiery eyes locking onto the two of them.

She spoke word by word, her voice raspy yet filled with startling power.

"Not only am I fine."

"I've also... struck it rich!"

"Struck it rich?"

Zhang Ningshuang and Zhao Qingyi looked at each other, wondering if Lin Wan's brain had been fried by the lightning.

She had been blasted onto the wall like a hanging painting in public, and she struck it rich?

Struck a body full of the scent of Heavenly Tribulation?

Lin Wan ignored their shock entirely. She struggled to stand up, seemingly unable to feel the agonizing pain on her body, falling into a state of excited self-muttering.

Those eyes were terrifyingly bright.

"That wasn't ordinary heavenly lightning, much less some protective Magic Treasure!"

"That was a Bloodline Restriction!"

"An absolute protection originating from ancient times, inscribed into the very source of one's Bloodline and Divine Soul!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. On that charred face, her once sweet dimples now appeared hideous and distorted.

"I've consulted the most ancient secret scrolls of the Sect; only one kind of existence could possibly possess such unreasonable Bloodline Restrictions during their childhood!"

"An Immortal Physique!"

"And it's definitely not an ordinary Grade 1 Immortal Physique like mine!"

Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a madness-like shrillness!

"My Hundred Flowers Heart-Eroding Gu, driven by my Divine Soul at the Heavenly Immortal Seventh Heaven, would leave even a Peak Heavenly Immortal expert with no hope of survival if I so much as touched their Divine Soul! But before that lightning, my Divine Soul Gu didn't even make a ripple before being incinerated into nothingness!"

"What does this mean?"

Lin Wan suddenly extended two charred fingers, her eyes filled with nothing but naked greed, burning through all pretenses.

"This means that little girl's Immortal Physique grade is far above mine!"

"At least Grade 2! And among Second-Rank Immortal Bodys, it belongs to the most top-tier category!"

"A living! Little girl with a Second-Rank Immortal Body!"

Second-Rank Immortal Body!

These four words were like two Primordial Divine Mountains, crashing heavily onto the Divine Souls of Zhang Ningshuang and Zhao Qingyi!

Their breath was completely sucked out at this moment!

Immortal Physique! The path to heaven that every Cultivator in the Immortal Realm dreams of!

A Grade 1 Immortal Physique is the Foundation for a Cultivator's rise; even without the support of massive Opportunities, it's enough to easily reach the Golden Immortal realm!

And a Second-Rank Immortal Body... that is a talent only possessed by the top Prodigies within the great immortal Sects!

In the entire Xuantian Immortal Sect, with its million Disciples over hundreds of thousands of years, only Sect Master Sect Master Xiao Qianjue has ever possessed a Second-Rank Immortal Body!

That is the pillar that holds up the Sect!

Now, a little girl suspected of having a Second-Rank Immortal Body, a living one, has appeared right before them?

"No... that's impossible..." Zhao Qingyi's voice was trembling. "How could a mere ant who just ascended from the Lower Realm possess a Second-Rank Immortal Body?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Lin Wan gave a cold laugh. The weakness from her injuries was swept away by her feverish ambition, and her thinking was clearer than ever before.

She forcibly connected all the seemingly unrelated fragments in her mind with a blood-colored thread.

"First, they come from the Xuanyuan Continent, which is the 'Leek Field' our Xuantian Immortal Sect has managed for millions of years."

"Second, at the exact same time they ascended, all the Lower Planes under our Sect's jurisdiction and all Spatial Channels were severed by a mysterious force."

"Third, and just before that, the soul tablets of my son Lin Yu and my brother Lin Batian shattered!"

"Now, here's the fourth point."

"Among this group of ants from the 'Leek Field,' a mysterious girl with at least a Second-Rank Immortal Body has appeared."

Lin Wan paced back and forth in the small secret room, each step seeming to land on the heartbeats of the other two, wisdom and madness intertwining in her eyes.

"Don't you think all of this is too coincidental?"

"One coincidence is an accident, but when all coincidences point in the same direction, it's not a coincidence!"

"It's the truth!"

She suddenly turned around and stared intently at the two who were already dumbfounded, shouting out that bold conclusion in a tone that made even her own blood boil!

"These people are definitely not some bullshit ordinary ascenders!"

"They are hiding an earth-shattering secret! This secret must be directly related to the destruction of our Sect's Foundation and the deaths of my son and brother!"

Although she guessed the cause and effect incorrectly, in a way, she had inadvertently touched the edge of the truth.

Zhao Qingyi gasped.

If Lin Wan's deduction was true, then the horror of this matter had already far exceeded the limits of their imagination!

"Then... then what... do we do now?" Zhang Ningshuang was completely flustered.

"What do we do?"

On Lin Wan's charred face, those sweet dimples appeared once more, so sweet it made one's heart turn cold.

"Naturally..."

"We must firmly grasp this immense credit that can allow us to rise to the top in a single step!"

The fire of ambition in her eyes burned fiercely!

"A Second-Rank Immortal Body is enough to make the Sect Master go mad! A clue concerning the survival of the Sect's Foundation is enough to make those Old Ancestors in death seclusion break out of their seclusion!"

"As long as we capture them, seize the Immortal Physique, and find out the secret... let alone seeking revenge, I, Lin Wan, could even use this to soar to the heavens and become a true existence in the Sect who is below only one person and above ten thousand!"

A gentle voice spoke such chilling ambitions.

She staggered to a corner of the secret room and took out an ancient jade talisman carved with complex spatial runes from a Storage Ring.

"Senior Sister Zhao, heal me as quickly as possible!"

"Senior Sister Zhang, guard the door; don't let even a fly in!"

She clenched the jade talisman tightly in her palm, a flash of resolute madness in her eyes.

"I am going to... call for reinforcements."
