5: Double pupil technique, traitor within the Holy Land

Hearing the word 'sequence,' all the Saints and Saintesses fell silent instantly, their expressions becoming complex.

The sequence is an existence in the Taiyi Holy Land that stands above the Saints and Saintesses. Once selected, one becomes a candidate for the Holy Revered Master, a reserve Grand Elder, almost destined to become a Saint, become an ancestor, and hold the power of the Holy Land.

The Taiyi Holy Land has tens of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples in one generation, over ten thousand true transmission Disciples, and dozens of Saints and Saintesses.

But within every millennium, only five people can obtain a sequence position.

This means that only these five people are qualified to compete for the position of the next Holy Revered Master and become the true helmsman of the Holy Land.

The most stunning First Holy Son of this generation, Ye Lingxiao, used the power of eight grotto-heavens to suppress the Prodigies of the Ten Dao Prefectures. He cultivated bitterly for ten years, sweeping across his peers, making the generation of the Holy Land unable to catch their breath. He exhausted all means just to touch the threshold of the sequence, and that was only having hope of being selected.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Ye Lingxiao in the center of the crowd.

Everyone knew that the lifelong goal of this First Holy Son was to join the sequence and control the future of the Holy Land.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao's expression was dark and difficult to discern.

For this 'sequence' position, he had struggled for ten years, swept across many Prodigies, and made the generation of the Holy Land unable to catch their breath. It could be said that he had exhausted all means.

But now, just as he was about to succeed, a Supreme Prodigy with ten grotto-heavens suddenly appeared.

How could he not be angry at this?

But he was, after all, a Prodigy who suppressed the Ten Dao Prefectures, and his Heart-Nature was far beyond ordinary people.

Within an instant, he suppressed all the hostility and displeasure in his heart, put that gentle-as-jade smile back on his face, and said in a calm tone:

"Hehe, the sequence position is for those who are capable. If this Junior Brother Xu is stunning enough, this Saint will naturally be convinced."

The implication was that even if Xu Jinhuan's talent was unparalleled, he, Ye Lingxiao, would never easily give up the sequence position.

"Senior Brother Ye is magnanimous!"

A sycophantic Saint immediately spoke up to echo him, causing others to roll their eyes, but no one dared to refute him to his face.

Ye Lingxiao nodded lightly and added:

"The selection for the sequence does not only look at talent and strength, but also requires leading ten thousand Disciples and winning the trust of the masses. Now that Junior Brother Xu has just had his Physique Awakening, he still needs time to settle his Cultivate. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, there may still be opportunities."

"Inspired by the vision of Junior Brother Xu today, I have gained some insights into a great Divine Ability, so I will take my leave first and go back to close-door cultivation to digest it."

"Goodbye, Senior Brother Ye."

The other Saints and Saintesses looked at his departing back, their eyes flickering.

Ye Lingxiao was right; although Xu Jinhuan had Heaven-Defying talent, he had just entered the cultivation world and had not truly grown up yet. They still had a chance to compete.

Thinking of this, everyone dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Only one person remained in place.

It was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, surrounded by faint crimson mist. His aura was bloody and mysterious; just getting close to him made people shudder and feel cold.

He was the Seventeenth Holy Son, Jiang Lianshan.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Jiang Lianshan stared fixedly at the divine light filling the sky in the direction of Eastern Emperor Mountain, gnashing his teeth, his eyes full of resentment:

"Why can the Taiyi Holy Land always produce such Prodigies? Why!"

No one knew that he was not a Disciple cultivated by the Taiyi Holy Land at all, but an undercover agent sent by the Holy Land's mortal enemy, and he had hated the Taiyi Holy Land to the bone from the beginning to the end.

Previously, Ye Lingxiao's sudden emergence had already made him feel like he had a thorn in his throat. Now, another Xu Jinhuan with ten grotto-heavens had popped up, making him even more furious, almost losing his composure.

Breathing heavily for a long time, Jiang Lianshan finally managed to calm down, his eyes flashing as he looked at Eastern Emperor Mountain.

"I have already let one Ye Lingxiao grow up; I cannot let a second one."

"This Xu Jinhuan is unparalleled through the ages; he must be strangled as soon as possible. He must not be given any chance to grow!"

Thinking this, he took out a skull fragment wreathed in black resentment and injected his Divine Thought.

"Lord Blood Master, the situation has changed! A Supreme Prodigy who has opened ten grotto-heavens has appeared in the Taiyi Holy Land. His potential is Heaven-Defying, and he must be eliminated immediately!"

...

On Eastern Emperor Mountain, in a magnificent palace.

After Xu Jinhuan opened the ten grotto-heavens, his cultivation soared like a rocket, breaking through shackles all the way to the Peak of the Cave Heaven Realm, just one step away from the Divine Spirit Realm.

In his mind, the System panel had also undergone earth-shaking changes.

[Host: Xu Jinhuan]

[Realm: Grotto-heaven Tenth Layer (Perfection)]

[Aptitude: Peak Immortal King Posture]

[Cultivation Technique: Taiyi Scripture (Ninth Layer), Pure Yang Burning Art (Perfection)]

[Physique: Eternal Chaos Body (Awakening 5%)]

[Divine Ability: None]

The Taiyi Scripture is the standard Cultivation Technique of the Taiyi Holy Land, profound and mysterious, leading directly to the Saint Realm.

The originally obscure and difficult content was now incomparably simple in Xu Jinhuan's eyes, giving him the feeling of a college student looking at preschool math problems.

The previous [ * ( % * & ; # * ( & ; ) ], had now become [1+1 = 2], or even simpler!

He understood it at a glance, could draw inferences, and all the changes were clear in his mind.

In an instant, his Taiyi Scripture reached the highest level of the Ninth Layer!

As for the other Pure Yang Burning Art, it was something Xu Jinhuan had comprehended and fused together with his own Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability after looking through the three Dual Cultivation Cultivation Techniques left by his Revered Master.

Three-in-one, possessing the strengths of all three.

Now, his combat power was not what it used to be.

"A day is like three autumns" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but three days was definitely no problem!

Addictive Master?

I will definitely make her walk in standing and be carried out lying down, without even the strength to lean against the wall!

Dreaming about the future, Xu Jinhuan turned his attention back to the System panel.

"It's so strong with only 5% Awakening. I really don't know what height this Eternal Chaos Body can reach after full Awakening."

"Physical Body becoming an Emperor? No, I'm afraid this is just the starting point!"

Looking at the panel and feeling the surging Chaos Qi in his body, Xu Jinhuan was full of ambition.

He could even clearly feel that as long as he had a thought, the surging power in his body could instantly break through the Bottleneck and open the Spirit Sea!

But he forcibly suppressed this desire for a Breakthrough.

Breaking through two major Realms, Body Refining and grotto-heaven, within half an hour was simply too fast for someone who had just stepped onto the path of Cultivate.

He was worried that his Foundation was unstable and his Dao Foundation was hollow, so he wanted to stop and polish it well to consolidate his Foundation.

Little did he know, he was overthinking it.

The Eternal Chaos Body, as the strongest Physique and an upgraded version of the Chaos Body, had a very powerful ability to polish Realms, enough to ensure that every step of his cultivation path was steady and solid, without any moisture.

If it couldn't even do this small thing, this Eternal Chaos Body would be somewhat sorry for its evaluation as 'strongest Physique.'

Suppressing the trend of Breakthrough, Xu Jinhuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze bright and deep, as if he could see through eternity.

His body was surrounded by massive Dao rhymes, his skin was like jade and bones like immortals, and divine radiance intertwined with gold and silver flowed faintly on his skin.

The blood in his body had turned into pure gold, and as it surged, it emitted an extremely surging Life Qi. Such divine blood, if only one drop fell into the mortal world, could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones, which could be called a Supreme treasure.

His whole body exuded an ethereal aura that transcended the mundane and ascended to immortality, like an immortal descending into the mortal world, untainted by any worldly dust.

Now, he had been reborn.

"Nine-star Physique, Eternal Chaos Body, it's terrifying, simply fiercely powerful!"

Xu Jinhuan praised sincerely in his heart.

The memory passed to him by Li Qingyue recorded the secrets of the Endless Immortal Domain. In the vast Immortal Domain, there were three thousand sacred Physiques, among which the Chaos Body ranked first, followed by the Innate Dao Body, Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, etc., all of which were top Physiques rare through the ages.

And the Eternal Chaos Body he fused was an upgraded version of the Chaos Body, completely crushing the three thousand divine bodies, and could be called the only Supreme Physique through the ages!

"Especially these kidneys, they are excessively fierce. Now Revered Master is going to suffer..."

Feeling the infinite firepower on both sides of his waist, Xu Jinhuan was looking forward to it.

"Next, it's time to fuse the other rewards."

Xu Jinhuan thought, not forgetting the other Heaven-Defying treasures he obtained from the Sign-in.

"Extract Divine Ability, Double Pupil Technique!"

As the words fell, a vast torrent of memory instantly flooded into his mind, containing the cultivation method and mysterious operation of the Double Pupil Technique. The endless information made him slightly dazed.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again.

In his pupils, a golden Double Pupil could be faintly seen overlapping with the original brown pupils, making his eyes seem covered with a faint golden halo, mysterious and majestic.

Seven Star Divine Ability, Double Pupil Technique, successfully fused!

Unlike the earth-shaking scene when the Eternal Chaos Body awakened, as a Divine Ability, the Fusion process of the Double Pupil Technique was extremely low-key and did not trigger any heaven and earth visions.

"That's good, it can be considered a trump card. If someone comes to commit an offense, it will be just right to catch them off guard."

Xu Jinhuan thought to himself.

"The remaining immortal medicine will be left in the System for now, so as not to let it run away if I can't suppress it."

The immortal medicine is called medicine, but in fact, it already has full spirituality, no different from ordinary creatures, and it also has very magical abilities. Ordinary Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses might not be able to suppress it.

It is a major matter, so even if it is produced by the System, one must act cautiously.

After dealing with the System rewards, Xu Jinhuan felt the surging power and potential in his body, feeling heroic.

"With this invincible Physique and surging kidneys, I don't believe Revered Master will be able to walk out of bed next time!"

The departing back of the Addictive Master, who acted like nothing had happened before, made Xu Jinhuan feel very uncomfortable.

His own weak legs that couldn't walk made him feel even more humiliated.

Now with the Eternal Chaos Body, this situation will definitely not happen again!

When the youth is strong, the Revered Master will lean against the wall!

Xu Jinhuan swore secretly.
