Chapter 106 The Secrets of the Ten Absolute Physiques

Having participated in many "Battles of Red Cliffs," how could Pei Qinghan not hear the hidden meaning in Lin Xiao's words? She immediately gave him an annoyed glare.

This glance seemed cold as frost, but in reality, it was filled with a thousand charms.

"It is good that the Saint is unharmed."

The Great Supreme Elder stepped forward slowly, his Suanni Staff lightly tapping the ground, as he asked with a kind expression:

"What exactly happened in the Dragon Palace? Is that old loach Cang Ming truly dead?"

Holy Master Liu Xuanyi and the various Peak Revered Masters also pricked up their ears.

Slaying a Mahayana Late Stage Flood Dragon King in the East Sea was truly too inconceivable.

"To answer the Grand Elder, it's a long story..."

Lin Xiao's expression remained calm as he briefly explained Ao Tian's deathbed entrustment in the Kunlong Abyss, his own capture by the Flood Dragon King and being taken to the East Sea, and finally, the Flood Dragon King being killed by Cang Lan.

Seeing such a thrilling series of events being described so nonchalantly by Lin Xiao, everyone was shocked.

The Grand Elder stroked his beard, inwardly sighing:

"The Saint is young, yet his Heart-Nature is already as steady as an abyss. His future achievements will certainly be limitless!"

Lin Xiao did not know what everyone was thinking and remained indifferent:

"The Flood Dragon King has been executed for his many crimes. Now, the East Sea is overseen by his sister, Cang Lan."

"Cang Lan has long admired our Primordial Holy Land. She has voluntarily offered her Life Divine Soul and will lead the entire East Sea to become a subsidiary force of our Primordial Holy Land."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

The East Sea had deep foundations, a million Yao soldiers, and countless rare treasures.

In the Eastern Region, it was a colossus that could stand on equal footing with the Primordial Holy Land.

For tens of thousands of years, the Primordial Holy Land had considered subjugating it, but the East Sea Yao Race held the geographical advantage, and the Dragon Palace was protected by an Immortal Array; a forced attack would only result in more loss than gain.

Holy Master Liu Xuanyi's red lips parted slightly. Something that generations of Holy Revered Masters had failed to do was now... achieved?

Furthermore, it had absolutely nothing to do with her, the Holy Revered Master!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Great Supreme Elder's voice trembled as he said "good" three times.

Even with his Mahayana stage state of mind, having lived for countless years, he couldn't help but be a little excited at this moment.

With the East Sea submitting to the Primordial Holy Land, the Primordial Holy Land was bound to become the strongest power among the Four Regions.

The Central Continent was vast and rich in Spiritual Qi, occupied by ancient Immortal Clans and various top Sects, so it did not participate in the secret rivalries of the Four Regions.

For countless years, although the East, West, South, and North regions had been fighting secretly, they had always been evenly matched, maintaining a delicate balance.

Now that the East Sea had submitted, one could foresee how significant the Primordial Holy Land's influence would be in these Four Regions in the future!

...

Primordial Holy Land.

Misty Peak, the rear hall of the Peak Revered Master's palace.

On the surface of the Spiritual Pool, mist steamed and rolled.

In the haze, a graceful figure could be vaguely seen soaking within.

Pei Qinghan had her arms wrapped around herself, her proud figure partially hidden by the ripples and mist.

Water droplets slowly slid down her long, fair swan-like neck, passing over her delicate collarbones, and finally disappearing into the deep, alluring cleavage.

Her snow-white silver hair had now turned back into three thousand black tresses, spread across the water's surface.

Her eyelashes and pretty face were covered in white frost, and her originally rosy lips were now bloodless, showing a sickly paleness.

Pei Qinghan's eyes were tightly closed, her breathing erratic. Each breath she exhaled condensed into a cloud of ice mist in the air.

Her jade hand reached out from the water and took a Mutton-fat Jade Bottle from her Storage Pouch from a distance.

The mouth of the bottle tilted.

A few drops of crimson, viscous liquid dripped into the pool.

The pool water churned, and the chill subsided slightly.

Pei Qinghan bit her red lip lightly, a trace of resentment flashing across her beautiful face as she murmured:

"Rebellious Disciple, didn't you say you were coming to face... coming to receive your punishment..."

"Why haven't you come yet..."

At this moment, Lin Xiao was still immersed in the joy of looting the treasury, unaware that his Revered Master had forcibly used the power of the Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body to save him this time.

The Northern Underworld Ice Soul Body is known as one of the Ten Absolute Physiques of the Immortal Realm.

Unlike the Pure Yang Sacred Body, Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and other uniquely blessed Physiques.

The Ten Absolute Physiques are a double-edged sword. While they bring combat power and cultivation gains to the Cultivator, they are also a huge hidden danger.

The more a Cultivator relies on the power of a Ten Extreme Physique, the deeper the hidden danger within their body becomes. A slight oversight could lead to self-destruction, resulting in a miserable end of death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Even more terrifying is that once a Ten Extreme Physique loses control and erupts, it's not just the Cultivator themselves who dies.

From a modern perspective, a Ten Extreme Physique is a walking human bomb. If not controlled, even the people around them will suffer.

In the long history of the Cultivation World, the Ten Absolute Physiques were once regarded as ominous omens, human-shaped natural disasters, like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone.

Every Sect would turn pale at the mere mention of them.

The reason why the Sects were so wary was because tens of thousands of years ago, a tragic incident involving a Ten Extreme Physique occurred in the Central Continent, shocking the world.

Years ago, there was a first-class power in the Central Continent that acted overbearingly and possessed several Mahayana Old Ancestors, called the Jiba Sect.

During an outing for experience, the Jiba Sect's Young Lord, Yuwen Chengdu, was driven by lust and led people to violate a woman of exceptional beauty who was pregnant.

Afterward, the woman felt she could not face her husband and ultimately passed away, taking her unborn child with her.

What the Jiba Sect did not know was that the woman's husband possessed one of the Ten Absolute Physiques, the Calamity Poison Physique.

After his wife's death, the man went completely mad and no longer restricted his Calamity Poison Physique.

With the Heaven-Defying Aptitude of the Calamity Poison Physique, he eventually stormed the Jiba Sect alone with a Body Integration stage cultivation.

After leaving behind the words, "My wife is dead, I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong," he abruptly detonated his Calamity Poison Physique.

In an instant, poison gas blotted out the sun.

The Jiba Sect instantly turned into a dead land. Everyone, from the Mahayana Old Ancestors to the Qi Refining handymen, perished.

Facing such potent poison, the various major powers of the Central Continent could only join forces to Seal the Jiba Sect.

Even now, within the ruins of the Jiba Sect, not a single blade of grass grows, and all life is extinct.

Since then, once any major power discovers a Ten Extreme Physique, they either strangle it while it is weak or imprison it for research, never allowing such an uncontrollable "human bomb" to plague the Cultivation World again.
