8: Stubborn Li Qingyue: This kid is just average.

Three Thousand Dao Provinces, more than a dozen Dao Provinces away from Taiyi Holy Land.

Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, there were endless towering mountains and primeval forests that blotted out the sky.

Ancient trees reached to the heavens, miasma permeated the air, and every inch of land exuded a primitive and wild aura, intertwined with an lingering bloody malevolence.

Yet, the spiritual energy here was incredibly dense, with countless spiritual veins converging, making it a place of excellent geomancy and spiritual beauty, the most top-tier blessed land in the entire Dao Province.

Above the void, a divine palace loomed, giant mountains floated, and countless blood rivers surged upwards, reaching the nine heavens and flowing into the depths of the firmament, becoming nourishment for the divine palace and blessed land beyond the heavens.

This was the main camp of the Blood God Palace, which had a ten-thousand-year-old enmity with the Taiyi Holy Land.

The two forces had been enemies for generations, with constant skirmishes, and in every era, countless disciples lost their lives in their mutual slaughter, hating each other to the bone.

Outside the heavens, deep within an ancient, bloody, gigantic cave inside a floating mountain, a boiling blood pool gurgled, its crimson blood churning and steaming, emitting a pungent, fishy smell and a chilling malevolence.

In the center of the blood pool, a terrifying figure suddenly opened its eyes, scarlet pupils revealing a murderous intent.

It was Blood Master, one of the Grand Elders of the Blood God Palace.

"Ten Caverns, talent unrivaled through the ages?"

The news from Jiang Lianshan echoed in his mind, making Blood Master's already grim face even uglier, his aura raging to the extreme.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Why can the Taiyi Holy Land always produce top-tier prodigies, while my Blood God Palace has been struggling for hundreds of years, with no one to succeed the old generation?"

Blood Master roared unwillingly, his heart burning with anxiety.

It wasn't scary that the Taiyi Holy Land had many talents; what was scary was that for hundreds of years, the Blood God Palace had no prodigies who could rival them, completely suppressed by the other side.

In less than a thousand years, the power of the Blood God Palace had already shown signs of decline. If this ten-cavern prodigy was allowed to grow, in less than a thousand years, the Blood God Palace would surely be completely annihilated by the Taiyi Holy Land!

As thoughts surged, the blood pool around Blood Master suddenly boiled violently, countless streams of blood detaching from the surface, surging and leaping in the air, transforming into twisted ghost faces, like countless evil spirits crawling out of hell, dancing wildly, a terrifying sight.

Finally, Blood Master made up his mind, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"He must not be allowed to grow up!"

"What if he has Ten Caverns? What if he's a Supreme Prodigy? Without growth, he's just an ant!"

His hand, devoid of skin and with exposed muscles and veins, lifted and gently pointed. A skull with ghostly flames burning in its eye sockets floated over from nearby.

His hand, where blood flow was clearly visible, rested on the skull, and a thought was injected into it.

"Thousand Illusions Demoness, come here. I have a task for you."

...On Eastern Emperor Mountain,

Auspicious clouds swirled, thousands of auspicious mists gathered, and amidst the rising purple qi, the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao faintly resonated.

Xu Jinhuan sat cross-legged on a warm white jade bed, spiritual energy furiously converging around him, forming a spiritual energy vortex that blotted out the sky, drawing all the spiritual energy within a ten-thousand-mile radius into his body.

The bottleneck of the Spirit Sea Realm shattered before him.

Above the firmament, a vast and boundless ocean of spiritual energy was rapidly being opened up.

Three thousand miles, four thousand miles, five thousand miles... almost every breath, the spiritual energy ocean would expand by hundreds of feet, a speed that was astounding.

In just half a quarter of an hour, Xu Jinhuan's Spirit Sea diameter had already reached nine thousand miles, almost catching up to Li Qingyue.

Beside him, Li Qingyue, dressed in moon-white light gauze, sat cross-legged.

Even though she had seen countless prodigies and geniuses from all the myriad worlds, at this moment, looking at Xu Jinhuan, her eyes were filled with unconcealed shock.

Although she knew Xu Jinhuan had a Ten Caverns foundation and a physique surpassing the Chaos Body.

She had never imagined that this disciple's talent could be so exaggerated, and his foundation in the Spirit Sea Realm so profound.

"Huaner's physique is far superior to mine, even more terrifying than I imagined!"

Thinking of this, Li Qingyue's mind raced with thoughts about her disciple's physique.

"Such a physique, if it had appeared in the history of the Endless Immortal Domain, would definitely not have gone unnoticed!

Could it be that he is a mutated Chaos Body?"

As expected of a Master of unknown origin, she knew Xu Jinhuan inside and out, and quickly guessed a hint of the truth.

"But he lacks none of the characteristics a Chaos Body should have, and its shortcomings have all been compensated. Moreover, he hasn't even cultivated a dual cultivation technique, and I'm already finding it hard to cope.

Does such a mutation truly exist?"

Physique mutation is actually not uncommon.

The Immortal Domain is boundless, and time is infinite; never have two identical flowers appeared.

Every Sacred Body and Divine Body will have subtle differences, more or less.

But Xu Jinhuan's case, rather than a mutation, is more like an ultimate, all-encompassing upgrade.

The excellent become even more excellent, shortcomings are filled, he is unparalleled in all aspects, and even comes with the ability to be indefatigable and have endless energy.

It's truly terrifying!

Recalling the experiences of those seven days and seven nights, especially the last three days, Li Qingyue felt a little weak in the knees.

Addictive Master felt for the first time that her disciple showed signs of being out of control.

But even if Li Qingyue racked her brain, she couldn't guess that Xu Jinhuan's physique was the Eternal Chaos Body, the ultimate enhanced version of the Chaos Body.

In the Endless Immortal Domain, the Chaos Body was already the foremost of the Three Thousand Divine Bodies. Even the Innate Dao Embryo and Desolate Ancient Sacred Body were only slightly inferior, barely able to catch up, unable to completely surpass it.

And the Eternal Chaos Body, as the ultimate evolutionary form of the Chaos Body, had already exceeded the cognitive limits of this Heavenly Daughter of the Immortal Domain!

After much thought, Li Qingyue still shook her head.

"Forget it, what's wrong with my man having a few secrets?"

"Besides, I don't believe this kid can turn the tables? No matter how powerful his physique, beneath me, he'll still have to surrender!"

Overly confident in herself, Li Qingyue even made a boast on the spot.

"Hmph, if this kid can make me beg for mercy,

I'll immediately kidnap all the top ten beauties from the Chaotic Realm Sea's peerless beauty ranking,

and let him sleep to his heart's content!"

Xu Jinhuan didn't know about his Master's poisonous vow; he only knew that his Spirit Sea was already perfect and could not advance further.

A ten-thousand-mile Spirit Sea!

Throughout history, only the most astonishing prodigies and Immortal Emperors could open up such a perfect Spirit Sea!

Those who once possessed a perfect Spirit Sea all swept away all enemies in the Supreme Immortal Domain, shook eras, astonished the ages, and their legends still live on.

And now, Xu Jinhuan could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Almost the instant the perfect Spirit Sea was opened, Xu Jinhuan's cultivation also surged dramatically.

The nine bottlenecks of the Spirit Sea Realm were like paper before him, easily shattering, unable to obstruct him in the slightest.

The Spirit Sea's Ninth Heaven was instantly perfected!

In fact, if Xu Jinhuan wished, he could immediately condense a Golden Core and break through to the next realm!

But he stopped.

"No, there isn't enough spiritual energy in my body to condense a perfect Golden Core yet."

Xu Jinhuan sighed inwardly and suppressed the urge to break through.

Beside him, seeing her disciple's actions, Li Qingyue also nodded in satisfaction.

She wasn't worried about her disciple's talent; her only concern was that he might become arrogant, eager for quick success, and squander a good hand.

As it now appeared, Xu Jinhuan was confident but not conceited, sharp but steady and reserved, down-to-earth, and humble.

Completely unlike some young prodigies who were arrogant and self-important.

A promising young man worth befriending.

Oh, they've already had deep exchanges? Then never mind.

My man, Li Qingyue's man, is just that outstanding!

She swayed her waist, her graceful white dress rising sharply, creating a beautiful, surging wave.

Just as she was about to take a step, her foot slipped, and she nearly fell.

"Hiss—"

"Hmph, that kid is just average..."

The beautiful Master said so, leaning against the wall as she walked.
