88: The Light of Yaochi! The Regretful Phoenix Ancestor!
Rumble!
The moment Yue Lingxi swallowed the Medicinal Pill,
A terrifying force exploded within her body.
"Argh!"
Intense pain instantly swept through her Divine Soul,
As if to utterly crush her Physical Body, Dao Bones,
And even every inch of her flesh and blood.
The Origin of her Fortune Jade Soul Physique wailed.
The Acquired repaired parts were as fragile as paper before this power,
Collapsing inch by inch.
Above the Yaochi Empress's palace, the winds and clouds changed.
A cold and aloof phantom of a bright moon slowly rose from within the palace,
Its radiance was pure, yet it carried a chilling intent that could freeze all things.
However, as the Medicinal Pill's power completely dissolved,
A faint wisp of Primordial Purple Qi integrated into it.
That moon seemed to be infused with a Soul!
Within the cold moonlight,
A warm, jade-colored glow was born.
The moonlight was no longer just cold,
But full of vibrant vitality,
Like the first ray of light that nurtured all things when Chaos first opened.
"Crack... crack..."
After Yue Lingxi's Divine Body Origin collapsed,
It was reshaped by the moonlight power that fused with the Law of Creation.
The incomplete Origin was completed,
The Acquired flaws were erased,
A more perfect and noble aura emanated from her.
Outside the palace,
All the Disciples of the entire Yaochi Holy Land looked up in shock.
They saw that within the gigantic phantom of the bright moon,
A peerless Fairy seemed to be dancing gracefully, with jade-colored light scattering,
Bathing the entire Jade Pool Immortal Realm in a sacred rain of light.
"This is... Senior Sister Yue Lingxi's aura!"
"Could it be the Spirit Ascension Pill bestowed by Imperial Son Jiang? The Holy Land rewarded Senior Sister Yue?"
The Yaochi Holy Master and the Elders watched all this nervously, their palms sweating.
The Empress sat on the profound ice bed, her gaze calm, yet with a hint of inquiry.
But in her heart, she became even more certain of her conjecture.
Finally, when the last wisp of jade-colored light merged into Yue Lingxi's glabella,
All the strange phenomena suddenly receded.
Yue Lingxi slowly opened her eyes,
A cold and noble moonlight flashed in her eyes.
She felt the complete and flawless state within her body,
And the feeling of being incredibly close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
She succeeded.
She truly achieved a Saint Body!
The Moonlight Jade Soul Saint Body,
Although not a completely unrecorded Saint Body,
Its last trace could be dated back a million years ago.
Ultimately, it produced a Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven,
A female Quasi-Emperor who was half a step away from proving the Dao.
"Disciple... thanks Your Majesty the Empress!"
Yue Lingxi prostrated herself in excitement, her voice choked with emotion.
The Yaochi Empress spoke indifferently,
But her voice carried an undeniable meaning,
"No need to thank me. This is the immortal destiny bestowed by Jiang Family Imperial Son Jiang Yuan."
The Yaochi Holy Master and the Elders saw this scene,
Each of them was agitated, their bodies trembling slightly with ecstasy.
They succeeded!
The Yaochi Holy Land has given birth to a Saint Body!
"The heaven and earth golden ranking... has changed!"
An Elder exclaimed in surprise.
On the prodigy physique ranking in the sky, golden light shimmered, and a new line of characters slowly appeared.
“prodigy physique ranking 51st: Moonlight Jade Soul Saint Body, Yue Lingxi! Affiliated Power: Yaochi Holy Land!”
The Yaochi Empress's gaze pierced through the endless Void Realm,
Looking at the Divine Thought from various factions peeking at this place.
"Issue this Empress's Imperial Decree."
The Yaochi Holy Master immediately bowed:
"Please, Empress, instruct us!"
"The Yaochi Holy Land, from today onwards, will announce to the Emperor Immortal Great World."
The Empress's voice was calm, yet it contained the force of thunder,
"We sincerely thank the Jiang Family and Imperial Son Jiang Yuan for their generous gift of the Spirit Ascension Pill, helping our Jade Pool gain another Saint Body. This kindness, Jade Pool will never forget for all eternity!"
The Empress's voice transformed into a grand Dao sound, spreading in all directions.
Immediately after, the Yaochi Holy Master led all the Elders and Disciples out of the mountain gate, facing the direction of the Jiang Family's territory, and bowed in a great ceremony.
"Yaochi Holy Land, thanks Imperial Son Jiang Family for your heavenly grace!"
The sound waves rolled, shaking Jade Pool.
The Yaochi Empress looked at the devoutly bowing Disciples below,
Her gaze once again fell upon the residual aura of the Medicinal Pill that Yue Lingxi had absorbed.
"Ranked fifty-one, the lowest of Saint Bodies, a weak Saint Body... as expected."
She murmured softly,
"It seems the Jiang Family's truly good things are still hidden. The Creation Green Lotus Saint Body... the Chaos Sword Body... these cannot be created by this Spirit Ascension Pill."
Her eyes gleamed with more intense interest than anyone else's.
"Jiang Yuan... how many secrets are you still hiding?"
...At this moment, in the Emperor Immortal Great World, countless factions and powerhouses watching the golden ranking,
All noticed this scene.
"Another Saint Body?! And from the Yaochi Holy Land!"
"Yue Lingxi? I remember she is the Personal Disciple of the Jade Pool Saintess Qin Mengyao, born with a Divine Physique but with an incomplete Origin. How could she suddenly advance to a Saint Body?"
"Have you forgotten? Qin Mengyao was chosen by the Jiang Family Imperial Son at the Dao Discussion Assembly. This must be due to the Spirit Ascension Pill!"
"Ah! I'm so envious of Qin Mengyao! I also want to marry Imperial Son Jiang!"
"I wonder if Imperial Son Jiang still lacks someone to warm his feet."
"Forget about warming his feet, he probably doesn't lack anyone to warm anything, hmm, why are you looking at me? I'm talking about warming his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys!"
...Primordial Divine Mountain.
Inside the Parasol Divine Hall,
The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like ten thousand years of profound ice had solidified.
The Phoenix Ancestor sat withered in the main seat, his face like still water, not saying a word.
Below, the Elders of the Phoenix Clan were all crestfallen, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Just now,
The news announced by the Yaochi Holy Land to the world, like the sharpest dagger,
Stabbed fiercely into the heart of every Phoenix clansman.
Another Saint Body!
Because of one Spirit Ascension Pill!
Because of the marriage alliance with the Jiang Family!
Because of being chosen by that Imperial Son of the Jiang Family!
Every word was like a resounding slap,
Repeatedly striking their faces, burning with pain.
Feng Ling'er was also in the hall, her pretty face pale, bloodless, and her delicate body trembling slightly.
The humiliation on Yingxian Island that day,
Had long since shattered her pride.
And today's news from Jade Pool,
Made her deeply realize,
How ridiculous and foolish her initial confidence had been.
Her proud Physique was only ranked at the bottom of the prodigy physique ranking,
Easily crushed by a Spirit Ascension Pill casually bestowed by Jiang Yuan.
Although her Phoenix God Clan was a Royal Clan,
What did that matter?
The Sea of Death also had ancient imperial-level forces presiding over it,
But wasn't it also annihilated just like that?
Background, Aptitude, she couldn't compare to Jiang Yuan in any of them.
Her words from back then, saying he wasn't worthy of her,
Now truly sounded like a joke.
How much time had passed?
Don't Humans say, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"?
It hasn't even been three months!
The Phoenix Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with endless regret and weariness.
He regretted,
He regretted not suppressing Feng Ling'er's temperament back then.
Otherwise, with her Aptitude,
Even if she couldn't compare to the Jade Pool Saintess, or the Saintess of Saint Demon Sect with One Body Two Souls, the Sixteenth Princess of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, or Quasi-Emperor Liu Shenyin... she would at least be better than the pair of Dao Body mother and daughter Jiang Yuan brought back from the Lower Realm, right?
Those were just Dao Bodies!
Not to mention the White Tiger Royal Clan!
A mere White Tiger Clan!
If it weren't for them being members of the same Primordial Divine Mountain race,
It would only take him an instant to annihilate them!
However, just because the White Tiger Goddess was favored by Jiang Yuan,
And became his Dao Companion,
She received the Jiang Family's betrothal gifts,
And it was even rumored that the Jiang Family was willing to allocate the same resources for annihilating the Sea of Death to the White Tiger Royal Clan, equivalent to what they gave to the Yaochi Holy Land, Saint Demon Sect, and other Sects!
Those were massive resources that could allow the White Tiger Royal Clan to ascend to the heavens in one step, threatening their three great God Races!
Even that scoundrel Bai Tianxing benefited from misfortune,
Easily breaking through to the 13th realm.
Damn it, how hateful!
Sooner or later, he would take all these into his possession!
These resources should have all belonged to his Phoenix Clan!
Now, the Phoenix Ancestor looked at Feng Ling'er with increasing dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for her being the only Goddess of this generation in the Primordial Divine Mountain,
He would have wished to directly beat her to death!
Just as the Phoenix Ancestor was filled with hatred, a report came from outside the hall.
"Reporting to Old Ancestor, the Golden Lion Clan Chief and the God Clan Chief have come to visit."
