Chapter 1122: Master Shangguan, the Transaction of the Ethereal Immortal Body

That is a realm one level higher than the Hunyuan Divine Emperor. No one in the entire Zhongzhou can reach that realm!

Ancestor Situ is undoubtedly the strongest person in Zhongzhou who is closest to the Chaos Saint Emperor realm!

Even Patriarch Baiyu said so. Could it be that the reason why Patriarch Situ didn't show up was because he was in seclusion in some secret place, trying to break through to the Chaos Saint Emperor realm?

Is that why you don't have time to care about the family crisis?

"I really doubt that he is in seclusion for a breakthrough!"

Ancestor Bai Yu stopped, his tone becoming increasingly serious, a hint of worry in his eyes, "If this is true, then it would explain why he never showed up even though the Situ family encountered such a big problem!!!"

If Patriarch Situ were to break through to the Chaos Saint Emperor realm, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if the entire Situ family is really gone, so what?

With a Chaos Saint Emperor here, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to rebuild the Situ family?

At that time, with just one word from him, countless forces will voluntarily surrender to him, and even the entire Zhongzhou will be under his control.

At that time, the Situ family will be even more powerful than before!

"Ancestor, what should we do now?" A trace of cold sweat broke out on Bai Yu Sect Master's forehead. He asked hurriedly, "How about we hold off for now and see what happens next?"

Patriarch Baiyu nodded slowly, his tone firm: "That's right, let's wait and see, there's no rush. Before confirming Patriarch Situ's whereabouts, any rash actions could bring disaster to our Baiyu Sect!"

..................

The Shenfeng Sect, like the Baiyu Sect, is a top sect in Zhongzhou, second only to the Situ family in strength.

Among the forces in Zhongzhou, it is one of the best.

After receiving the shocking information that the Situ family was wiped out, the people of the Shinfeng Sect were shocked at first.

The sect leader immediately summoned the top leaders to discuss sending troops to seize the resources of the Situ family to prevent them from being overtaken by forces such as the Baiyu Sect.

"The Situ family's 'Liuyun City' is right near our Shenfeng Sect. There are many shops and workshops in that city. We must seize it first!" An elder said excitedly, his fists clenched tightly.

"Yes! There is also the Situ family's 'Wind-Sounding Mine' in the east. The ore produced there is most suitable for us to practice wind magic. We must not give it to others!" Another elder also echoed, and everyone's emotions were very high.

However, just as they were about to give the order to mobilize troops, the ancestor of the Kamikaze Sect, Kamikaze Patriarch, suddenly appeared.

He was dressed in a black robe, his face stern, and he carried a sharp aura of wind. As soon as he entered the room, he interrupted everyone's discussion and said in a serious tone, "That old man, Patriarch Situ, will definitely not disappear so easily! If he really enters the Chaos Saint Emperor realm, what we are doing now is seeking death! Don't act rashly!!!"

Although Patriarch Shenfeng is not as powerful as Patriarch Baiyu and Patriarch Situ, he is also considered one of the top strong men in Zhongzhou, and his words carry a lot of weight.

With these words from Patriarch Shenfeng, the entire Shenfeng Sect's top leaders calmed down. No one clamored to attack the Situ family anymore, but chose to remain in place and observe the situation.

..................

At this time, the Situ family had long lost its former dignity, and Situ City, where the entire family lived, was filled with panic and fear.

On the streets, the once arrogant members of the Situ family were now wearing ordinary clothes, with pale faces and panicked eyes as they fled everywhere.

In the family mansion, maids and servants were packing their things, wanting to escape from this clan that was about to collapse.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion and fear.

They have always been high and mighty, and have been carrying the halo of "Situ family" since birth, enjoying the awe and flattery of others.

He has a strong sense of superiority towards outsiders.

They are used to others bowing and scraping when they see them, used to the protection of their family's power, and used to the perception that "the Situ family will never fall."

They never thought that their family would be destroyed.

After all, the Situ family has been standing in Zhongzhou for so many years. They are powerful and have a deep foundation. Who can be the opponent of the Situ family?

Look at other forces. Top sects like Baiyu Sect and Shenfeng Sect have to show courtesy when they see the Situ family.

Those medium-sized forces are even more obedient to the Situ family.

As for the small forces, they don’t even have the courage to get close to the Situ family.

But who could have imagined that everything would change in just one day.

Today, in order to kill the madman who was said to have dared to challenge the dignity of the family, the elite of the entire family, including all the senior leaders including the patriarch, went out with the strongest equipment.

This is a lineup that is enough to launch a war of genocide. Which force in Zhongzhou would not be afraid of it?

But the result?

None of the people who went out came back, and all that came was the news that the entire army was annihilated!

..................

Deep in the outer space, the dark sky is dotted with billions of cold stars, and the Milky Way stretches across the sky like a silk thread.

A flying warship with dark purple-gold patterns all over its body cut through the void.

The warship's hull was covered with mysterious runes, stirring up light blue space ripples as it sailed, cutting through the star mist like a sharp blade.

Rushing towards the world below that was enveloped in a light blue aura of spiritual energy.

The moment it passed through the boundary barrier, the runes around the warship suddenly lit up, dispersing all the strong winds and spatial turbulence that were blowing in its face.

Then it adjusted its direction and flew towards the Central Plains, the land with the most vast terrain and the richest fairyland in the center of the world.

The warship flew silently, with only the ferocious beast head carved on the bow reflecting a cold light as it passed through the clouds.

No one knew that the ancestor Situ, who was being sought by all forces in Zhongzhou, was on this foreign warship!

In the main hall inside the warship, light and dark intertwined, the floor was covered with a dark golden carpet with flowing cloud patterns, and the pillars on both sides were carved with fairy beasts flying in the clouds.

An old man in a gray robe stood solemnly with his hands hanging down. The dark patterns embroidered on the corners of his robe were stretched tight as he leaned forward slightly.

His wrinkled face was full of caution, and when he looked at the person opposite him, his eyes were filled with unconcealable respect.

The person he was looking at was a young man in a moon-white brocade robe.

The brocade robe was embroidered with intricate cloud patterns in silver thread, and the collar and cuffs were trimmed with a circle of dark purple mink velvet.

There was a crystal clear warm jade pendant tied around his waist, which swayed gently with his slight movements.

He stood tall and straight, with his chin slightly raised and an innate nobility between his brows.

Even if he was just sitting casually, the aristocratic temperament of a long-time superior was emanating like a substance, and anyone who saw him could guess that he did not come from an ordinary wealthy family.

If someone were to investigate his cultivation level, they would surely be secretly surprised.

This young man's aura is only at the middle stage of the God King, and his strength is not really top-notch.

But it was such a cultivator who made the Situ Patriarch, who was famous in Zhongzhou and feared by countless forces, willing to lower his posture and even flatter him in a humble manner.

"Master Shangguan, the place ahead is where my family resides. Once we arrive, my descendant will be at your disposal."

Patriarch Situ spoke slowly, trying hard to force a smile on his face.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together, but there was no sincerity in that smile, only deliberate flattery, and even the tone of his voice was filled with cautious flattery.

Beside Young Master Shangguan stood four guards in dark uniforms.

They have pine-like postures, expressionless faces, and exude a condensed and rich aura.

Even if they were just standing quietly, they were like four unshakable mountains, with eyes as sharp as hawks, secretly scanning everything in the hall. They were obviously powerful guards who followed him all year round.

Hearing what Patriarch Situ said, Master Shangguan slowly raised his eyes, with a hint of nonchalant arrogance in his narrow eyes.

He simply glanced at him indifferently, his voice carrying the clearness of a young man, yet revealing an undeniable arrogance: "I hope your offspring will satisfy this young master. Otherwise, the 'Sun Returning Pill' I gave you earlier will be wasted."

As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Situ hurriedly bowed, his smile widening until it reached the corners of his eyes. "Don't worry, Master Shangguan! This old servant's offspring has a mutated ethereal immortal body! This old servant had never noticed it before, but only recently discovered that her physique had undergone a strange transformation during her cultivation!"

He took a half step forward, his tone becoming increasingly enthusiastic, with a hint of eagerness to take credit: "You also know that a female cultivator with this kind of physique will be of great benefit to your cultivation. I can guarantee that she will never dare to let you down!"

Patriarch Situ was secretly pleased with himself.

There actually was a member of his family with an ethereal immortal body.

Her physique was not innate, but rather a result of a chance mutation during her training.

Although the acquired ethereal immortal body may be slightly inferior to the innate constitution in purity, it is ultimately a special constitution that is one in a million.

The cultivator with this ethereal immortal body has a cultivation speed far beyond that of ordinary people, but his greatest use is to assist others in their cultivation.

Especially for cultivators of the opposite sex, it can be called a "weapon for cultivation."

This is because this physique can accept the power input from the outside world without any rejection, even the huge spiritual power infused by other cultivators can be fully accommodated.

If an ordinary cultivator were to suddenly endure a force far beyond his own limit, he would have exploded and died long ago, but the ethereal immortal body was different.

Due to the special nature of his physique, the enormous power injected into his body would not backfire, but would only quietly settle in the meridians and dantian. After the transformation power of his physique, it would become "ownerless power" without any attributes and without any mark.

By then, Master Shangguan only needs to guide this ethereal immortal body to infuse the "ownerless power" in its body into his own body again.

The power that has been "purified" by the ethereal immortal body is pure and uncontaminated. Young Master Shangguan does not need to worry about backlash or rejection when absorbing it, and can directly convert it into his own cultivation.

In this way, his strength will increase rapidly in a short period of time.

To put it bluntly, this ethereal immortal body is like a natural "power transfer station". Master Shangguan does not need to spend time practicing on his own. He only needs to receive power through this "transit station" to greatly shorten the practice cycle.

In addition, the ethereal immortal body is also an extremely high-quality physique for dual cultivation.

Practicing dual cultivation with a cultivator who possesses this physique will not only rapidly improve one's cultivation, but one's own physique will also be subtly transformed, gradually approaching the characteristics of an ethereal immortal body, forming a state of "pseudo-ethereal immortal body".

Even if this state is not a true ethereal immortal body, it is an opportunity that can only be encountered once for any cultivator.

What's more, Young Master Shangguan himself possesses a rare and special physique. If he can practice dual cultivation with the Ethereal Immortal Body, he can not only retain the advantages of his own physique, but also superimpose the characteristics of the "pseudo-Ethereal Immortal Body".

This improvement in cultivation qualifications is a world of difference!

The birth of this descendant with an ethereal immortal body was a huge help to the Situ family.

Patriarch Situ originally wanted to train the descendant of this ethereal immortal body well, so that he would be able to use him when he was ready to break through to the Chaos Saint Emperor.

But by chance, he met Mr. Shangguan.

This Young Master Shangguan has an extraordinary identity. He is the son of a high-ranking official in the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom.

This means that this Master Shangguan can destroy the entire Situ family just by talking!

Patriarch Situ suddenly had an idea and introduced his own ethereal immortal body to Young Master Shangguan, although it was indeed a big loss for him.

However, he can use this opportunity to deepen his relationship with Master Shangguan and become Master Shangguan's follower. Then, through this relationship, he can enter the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, and the status of the entire Situ family will be improved!

Ancestor Situ knew very well how to choose between an uncertain opportunity to break through to the Chaos Saint Emperor and a relatively certain opportunity to rise step by step!

After expressing his intention to give his descendant of the ethereal immortal body to Young Master Shangguan, he also received an unexpected surprise. That is, Young Master Shangguan actually asked his elders for a Sun Returning Origin Pill!

The value of this pill is immeasurable. Even if he used up all the resources of the Situ family, he still couldn't refine even one!

He couldn't believe even in his dreams that one day he would be able to obtain a Sun Returning Pill?

This kind of elixir is very useful for a peak God Emperor like him. It can increase his understanding of the world during the breakthrough and deepen his immersion in the laws of the Tao!

In this way, you can increase your success rate of breakthrough!

Of course, if you want to break through from the peak Divine Emperor to the Chaos Saint Emperor realm, it is naturally not something that can be accomplished with just one pill.

It mainly depends on your own fate.

If a Sun Returning Origin Pill could create a Chaos Saint Emperor, then wouldn't the Shangguan family be full of Chaos Saint Emperors?

Isn't the Chaos Holy Emperor just a worthless thing like cabbages in the market?

He didn't expect that a single Sun Returning Origin Pill would necessarily help him ascend to the Chaos Saint Emperor realm. However, for him, the effect of a Sun Returning Origin Pill was actually the same as that of an Ethereal Immortal Body.

Anyway, there is no 100% chance of breaking through!

That’s why I say it’s a pleasant surprise.

Not only did he gain the appreciation of Master Shangguan, but he also received an extra Sun Returning Pill. This was a huge win for Patriarch Situ.

As for Master Shangguan, he didn't suffer any loss either.

The Sun Returning Origin Pill is indeed precious, but for him, this pill does not have much effect. The effect of the Ethereal Immortal Body is much greater.

Helping him to speed up his cultivation was only secondary. The most important thing was that it could significantly improve his cultivation aptitude. This would increase his chances of achieving a breakthrough to Chaos Saint Emperor in the future!

Otherwise, he would not have asked his family elders for a Sun Returning Pill.

That kind of elixir is not so easily available to his Shangguan family.
