12: You won't walk, you want me to carry you?

Shen Nian showed a trace of surprise. A wisp of Chaos silver light appeared within his Bloodline, and dense black Impurities seeped out from his skin, subsequently turning into ash, leaving only skin as smooth as jade.

He hadn't expected that his accidental deduction would actually upgrade the grade of his Cultivation Technique!

Dao Integration...! This was already at the pinnacle of this world. A Body Refining Cultivation Technique of this grade was unthinkable...

And in his mind, the simulation's voice had not yet stopped.

【100 years later, you spent 50 years using chaos essence blood to temper your body's acupoints, blood, bones, and flesh, all achieving a leap in improvement. After your Physical Body reached a flawless state, you gained a wisp of Innate Chaos Qi. You feel you are terrifyingly strong!】

【110 years later, Chaos Indestructible Body Refining Method — Entry Level】

【120 years later, you continued to temper your Physical Body, but found it had little effect. The progress was so slow it was maddening. Knowing you must possess more chaos essence blood or something that can truly temper the Physical Body to improve, you chose to end the simulation. Simulation ended.】

Boom!

In an instant!

Shen Nian's pupils contracted, and silver light directly filled them. His upper garment was shattered, revealing a perfectly sculpted Physique. The ground where he sat began to crack rapidly, spreading for several miles, terrifying and shocking!

Gradually, the silver light in Shen Nian's eyes faded. His entire temperament changed greatly, and he seemed to have grown a bit taller.

He could feel the terrifying power contained within his Physical Body, but he didn't know what level it had reached.

Immediately, a flash of madness crossed his eyes. He drew his Spirit Sword, extended his arm, and slashed with all his might without the slightest hesitation.

Crack!

The Spirit Sword, which could easily pierce mysterious gold, shattered directly on the ground. Only a sword mark was left on his arm, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This terrifying resilience, and this is only just Entry Level..." Shen Nian looked at his arm with some shock, not feeling any heartache for the Spirit Sword named "Ninth".

He finally understood why Body Cultivators never needed any Magic Treasure or spiritual items; their own Physical Body was the strongest Magic Treasure, indestructible!

If it were now, even if he stood there and let that Sparrow Demon hack at him, the other party wouldn't be able to cut him.

The next second!

"Hiss!"

Shen Nian suddenly felt his chest burning. Looking closely, he saw an incomparably profound silver-white rune flowing there, then merging into his Physical Body.

"What is this..."

Shen Nian was somewhat puzzled. The rune didn't look like a character; instead, it looked a bit like a... star.

"Forget it, at least I can be sure it's beneficial and harmless. For now, I must get to Yunzhou as soon as possible to make full preparations..." Thinking this, Shen Nian suddenly sensed something. He immediately took a set of white clothes from his Storage Pouch, put them on, and cast his gaze into the distance.

Xiao Qinger suppressed the surprise in her heart and walked over quickly. At this moment, she was exuding the aura of Peak Qi Condensation. Her white dress fluttered, and at the center of her brow was a golden flame rune that looked lifelike, constantly exuding an Innate pressure.

After the Awakening of her Divine Body, her entire temperament had changed.

"After your Divine Body has just awakened, although you cannot exert one ten-thousandth of its power, your Physical Body is not something that Cultivators of the same Realm can compare to. In terms of physical strength, you have already surpassed your Senior Brother." The Female Yan Emperor said softly, with a trace of the previous surprise still in her golden eyes.

It must be said!

This girl's Luck is really good. At first, she didn't say it, but actually, even possessing that drop of impure Phoenix descendant essence blood, it was extremely difficult to awaken the Divine Phoenix Sacred Body, after all, that is a powerful Physique capable of ranking in the top hundred of the three thousand Physiques.

But I didn't expect Xiao Qinger to be able to do it so easily, and even so quickly...

Is it because her Senior Brother's pressure was too great...

That's good too...

Xiao Qinger heard this, clenched her jade fist, and had a little excitement in her heart.

Physical Body surpassed Senior Brother, huh...

Senior Brother gifted me such precious essence blood; I definitely cannot let him down. I must kill the Golden Core Yao Race...

The Female Yan Emperor sensed her emotions. Thinking that she was afraid Xiao Qinger would become complacent, she spoke to discourage her: "Don't be happy just yet. Your Senior Brother's sword Dao talent is enough to rank in the top three among all the sword Dao Prodigies I have seen in my previous life. Not to mention his bizarre cultivation speed, no matter how strong your Physical Body is, you are not a match for him with one sword strike."

"Yes, Qinger understands," Xiao Qinger replied in her mind.

She knew there was still a big gap between her and Senior Brother, but for now, at least she could see an opportunity.

Actually, even she didn't know when she had begun to secretly treat Senior Brother as her goal.

"Next, you only need to find the ten thousand fires of heaven and earth to swallow and temper your body, then use the Flame God Technique to condense the Divine Phoenix fire, and your Divine Body will reach Major Achievement!"

"At that time, perhaps even your Senior Brother will only be able to look up to you..." The Female Yan Emperor spoke again. After discouraging her, giving her hope would make Xiao Qinger's motivation stronger, right.

"Strange fire!" A flash of brilliance crossed Xiao Qinger's beautiful eyes.

Soon, she arrived in front of Shen Nian. With some expectation in her eyes, she called out: "Senior Brother."

I wonder if Senior Brother will praise me a few times seeing that I have broken through again. As for wanting to surprise Senior Brother, after witnessing that terrifying Breakthrough speed, she had given up on that.

"Hmm." Shen Nian nodded slightly without saying much, turned, and walked away.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Qinger's eyes, but it was quickly attracted by the spiderweb-like cracks on the ground.

Huh?

How did it become like this here?

She fell into deep thought.

"What are you spacing out for? Not leaving? Do you want me to carry you?" Shen Nian's voice came faintly. Xiao Qinger immediately showed an embarrassed expression and followed him immediately.

After Xiao Qinger's Realm improved to Peak Qi Condensation, Shen Nian's speed could also be increased by a few points.

It wasn't far from Yunzhou to begin with, so in just a quarter of an hour, they could already see that magnificent city wall. Above the arched city gate, the two characters "Yunzhou" were written with iron-drawn silver hooks, exuding a majestic aura.

"Yunzhou, I didn't expect to return so soon..." Xiao Qinger looked at the bustling traffic outside the city, stunned.

She had originally decided that if she didn't have the ability to solve all problems before heading to the Heavenly Sword Sect, she would not return, but who would have thought...

However, she was no longer the waste who could be looked down upon by others!

Walking in white, Xiao Qinger immediately followed.

Outside the Yunzhou city gate, whether it was the commoners or the city guards, their gazes were instantly attracted by the young man and woman who had suddenly appeared. Mainly, their temperament was too ethereal; they were either rich or noble!

The woman was like a celestial being descending to earth. That young man in white was unbelievably handsome!

For a time, the originally noisy city gate became quiet. It was only after a loud shout from the city guard captain that they gradually resumed their actions, though their gazes still swept over from time to time.

"What are you all looking at? Are you entering the city or not!"

At the city gate, Shen Nian's voice reached Xiao Qinger's ears.

"Can you put away that thing on your forehead? Can you be a little more low-key?"

"Yes!" Xiao Qinger immediately retracted the rune. Then, thinking about it, she took out the black mask she had been keeping, put it on, and looked at her Senior Brother, as if asking, Senior Brother, is this low-key enough?

Shen Nian was silent. In those eyes, he saw a trace of pure stupidity.

Wearing a black mask in broad daylight like a thief? Isn't this just pure brain damage? When did the intelligence-lowering halo affect the heroine too!!!

Xiao Qinger immediately reacted, took off the mask, showed an awkward smile, and cursed herself in her heart.

What am I doing!

What's wrong with me lately!

Why am I doing things without any brain at all!!!

It's over, it's over, Senior Brother must think I'm stupid!

Shen Nian was speechless and walked directly into the city. Those city guards just stood straight in place, their eyes lingering on Shen Nian a few more times.
