144: Immaculate Sword Body
【You turned and left. As soon as you landed in Tianshu City, an old and deep voice echoed in your mind: "Boy, do you still remember your promise to me?"】
【You knew this was the voice of the candle dragons eye, and you roughly guessed its request.】
【But you still responded with your Divine Sense: "Senior, what are your instructions?"】
【"Find a way to distract Liu Jinfeng and the Protector guarding the Tianshu Pavilion, then come to the top floor to find me," the candle dragons eye said with an excited tone.】
【"No problem, but can you give me some time to prepare?" you replied without hesitation.】
【"How long?" It hastily pressed.】
【"How about three years?"】
【After a few breaths, the candle dragons eye responded: "Good. Remember, everything that happened in the Yan Imperial Capital back then..."】
【You directly interrupted it: "Senior, don't worry, we are on the same boat now."】
【Even so, you wouldn't gamble your life for its freedom at this moment.】
【However, if there was an Opportunity to release the candle dragons eye, as long as your own safety was ensured, you would be happy to see it happen.】
【Despite this, you always felt that this old fellow had ill intentions.】
【Walking on the streets of Tianshu City, you pondered the task of finding someone.】
【You secretly mused that the person the Liu Clan was looking for must not be simple.】
【Remembering that the candle dragons eye was well-informed, you immediately called out with your Divine Sense: "Senior, are you there?"】
【But after waiting for a few breaths, there was no response.】
【You looked up at the Tianshu Pavilion, starting to worry—the Tianshu Pavilion had a Formation that isolated Divine Sense. The candle dragons eye could contact you, but you didn't know how to contact it.】
【Just then, the voice of the candle dragons eye echoed in your mind again: "Are you looking for me?"】
【"Senior, do you know about the Changsun Immortal Clan?" you asked directly.】
【"Heh, of course I do."】
【"Please enlighten me, Senior."】
【"Do you know about the qingming mirror?"】
【Hearing 'qingming mirror', you stopped, your heart slightly trembling, and replied: "Of course I do."】
【"The qingming mirror was originally the supreme treasure of the Changsun Immortal Clan. The Liu Clan only took possession of it after annihilating the Changsun Immortal Clan."】
【Upon learning this news, a sense of ominous foreboding immediately surged in your heart.】
【The candle dragons eye then said with a teasing tone: "By the way, your Qin Immortal Clan also contributed to the destruction of the Changsun Immortal Clan back then."】
【You understood that if your Old Ancestor Qin Mo was a descendant of the Qin Immortal Clan, then the Qin Immortal Clan was destroyed two thousand years ago.】
【And the Changsun Immortal Clan was destroyed before that.】
【You immediately thought that Liu Jinfeng might not have sent only you to search for the descendants of the Changsun Immortal Clan.】
【But after so much time, why was Liu Jinfeng still looking for the descendants of the Changsun Immortal Clan after so many years?】
【You always felt that this matter was related to Liu Ruyan's death.】
【So much time had passed, was Liu Jinfeng still suspicious?】
【Thinking from Liu Jinfeng's perspective, you suddenly understood something—why did that old man secretly help Huang Yi back then?】
【You hastily asked the candle dragons eye: "Senior, do the direct descendants of the Changsun Immortal Clan have any special use for the qingming mirror?"】
【"Hahaha, you're quite clever, kid," it burst into laughter.】
【"The qingming mirror was originally the Lifebound Treasure of the Changsun Immortal Clan's Old Ancestor, containing his essence blood. Only direct Bloodline descendants can refine it."】
【"Once the qingming mirror is refined, it can be taken into the body, and one can also trace back everything that happened in the world within it, becoming the true Dominator of that Small World."】
【"The Liu Clan cannot fully control it and now only uses it as an ordinary grotto-heaven magical treasure."】
【"Alas," it sighed, "It is said that the qingming mirror's artifact spirit was damaged and fell into slumber during the great war. I wonder if it has recovered now."】
【Upon hearing this, you felt as if struck by lightning, and suddenly realized—no wonder this grotto-heaven magical treasure was just casually placed in the main hall.】
【You quickly continued to ask: "Senior, if that's the case, you're also my accomplice, why aren't you worried?"】
【The candle dragons eye calmly said: "Boy, the Changsun Immortal Clan was annihilated back then, so logically, no descendants should have survived."】
【"Besides, Liu Jinfeng has sent all the Black Armored Guardss to search for years, and still found nothing, didn't she?"】
【"The Immortal Realm is so vast; finding the direct descendants of the Changsun Immortal Clan is indeed not easy," you nodded.】
【"Exactly, such things entirely depend on Opportunity," its tone was calm.】
【"Opportunity? Even if they were standing right in front of us, we probably wouldn't recognize them," you chuckled.】
【"No, if they were standing in front of you, there would still be a chance to recognize them," it calmly replied.】
【"How to recognize them? It's been thousands of years, they probably don't even know who their ancestors were, do they?" you asked with a smile.】
【"No, the direct Bloodline of the Changsun Immortal Clan must possess the Spotless Sword Body," the candle dragons eye said lightly.】
【Hearing the words "Spotless Sword Body," you were stunned.】
【You had a deep impression of this Physique.】
【Because you happened to know someone who possessed this Physique—Meaty of the Heavenly Sword Sect.】
【Countless thoughts flashed through your mind instantly.】
【You absolutely cannot let Liu Jinfeng know about this.】
【The candle dragons eye seemed to detect your abnormality and asked: "What? Do you really know someone with the Spotless Sword Body?"】
【You immediately responded with a smiling Divine Sense: "How could that be! This is my first time hearing about this Physique. I'm just worried that if Liu Jinfeng really finds them, won't your help in concealing it be exposed?"】
【"Don't worry, I'll secretly deal with it once they're found," the candle dragons eye calmly replied.】
【You suddenly thought of a question, so you asked: "Senior, is there any way to transplant someone else's special Physique onto oneself?"】
【"Such secret arts for transplanting Spiritual Root, Aptitude, and Physique have long been lost. Don't think too much about it," the candle dragons eye calmly replied.】
【It paused for a moment, then added: "However, there are many methods that imitate this way of stealing others' Bloodline Origin."】
【"For example, the Liu Clan's Blood Origin Art, when combined with consuming a blood spirit pill refined from the target's essence blood, can acquire a portion of the opponent's Aptitude and Bloodline Power."】
【"But this method of the Liu Clan, like all other methods, is only similar in form but not in spirit."】
【"Even so, being able to achieve this much is already rare, and it's completely sufficient for the three-body fusion required for a Soul Transformation Breakthrough."】
【Upon hearing this, your eyes immediately lit up—if you refined a blood spirit pill using Meaty's essence blood, and then combined it with the Blood Origin Art, wouldn't you be able to possess the characteristics of the Spotless Sword Body?】
【Moreover, you had already learned the Blood Origin Art and knew how to refine blood spirit pills—sure enough, there was no suffering without reason.】
【If you possessed the Spotless Sword Body, wouldn't you be able to claim the grotto-heaven magical treasure, the qingming mirror, for yourself?】
【The more you thought about it, the more excited you became, but you quickly calmed down—this matter needed someone to experiment on first.】
【After all, you still couldn't be entirely sure—what exactly did Liu Jinfeng want with someone who possessed the Spotless Sword Body?】
【But then you thought—in the last simulation, you joined the Heavenly Sword Sect in the tenth year, and Meaty was only twelve or thirteen at the time.】
【And in the eighteenth year, Liu Jinfeng led people to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect and also killed Meaty.】
【You didn't know if Meaty had already met with misfortune this time.】
【It was already the fifty-sixth year.】
【You hoped that the Heavenly Sword Sect was safe and Meaty was still alive.】
【You no longer hesitated, immediately set off, and after several transfers through the Teleportation Formation, finally arrived at the largest city on Ziyang Star—Ziyang Immortal City.】
