Chapter 606 - Transcendent Prize, Tome of Physiques, Soul Origin
The Holy Light Religion Leader was observing Chu Kuangren.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was also observing him using his Eye of Revelation, scanning through all of his information.
The cultivation level of his spiritual power was at the Top-notched Boundary Emperor Realm, but his apprehension of Dao had already attained the Perfected stage. As such, he was considered a Sovereign.
“Nice to meet you, Daoist Brother. My name is Chu Kuangren.”
Chu Kuangren smiled gently and said.
The fact that he referred to him as his Daoist Brother clearly meant that he placed themselves at equal seniority. The crowd frowned slightly but did not utter anything.
With Chu Kuangren’s powers, he did indeed have the right to claim so.
“Brother Chu, you’ve come a long way. What honor do we Holy Light Religion deserve to be graced by your presence?”
The Holy Light Religion Leader laughed and said.
“Nonsense. There’s no such thing as that. It’s because our very own Lan Yu has been duly taken care of by the Holy Light Religion, so I thought I’d pay you a visit personally.”
“Ah, Lan Yu is our Holy Light Religion Maiden Sage. Taking care of her is our duty.”
The two exchanged a few words in the temple.
“Religion Leader, why did you call me here this time?”
“Well, we, the Holy Light Religion, have a Sovereign who has just woken up two days ago. He wishes to see you,” the Holy Light Religion Leader said.
“I see.”
Lan Yu nodded gently.
The Holy Light Religion Leader seemed to be quite fond of Chu Kuangren. He even ordered his people to prepare a banquet for Chu Kuangren to have a feast.
At the banquet, the elders and sky-prides of the Holy Light Religion secretly threw curious glances at Chu Kuangren.
“Bachelor Sage, is this guy really as scary as people say?”
A sky-pride inquired Bai Tianxing curiously.
There was a complicated look in Bai Tianxing’s eyes, but he still nodded in response. “This guy’s powers are near-invincible amongst the Emperor Road’s young generation!”
These words made all the sky-prides who did not go to the Forbidden Barren Wastelands astonished. They could not help but gasp in surprise.
Near-invincible?!
Such a comment was just outright unbelievable.
Especially since it came from an outlawed sky-pride like Bai Tianxing.
Bai Tianxing stared at Chu Kuangren. When he saw Lan Yu courteously adding wine to Chu Kuangren’s cup, he could only suppress his inner frustrations.
Deep down, he still had a thing for Lan Yu.
To him, she was a goddess who came from the heavens above.
Yet now, the woman that he loved was acting so kindly and obediently to another man. His heart just could not bear with it.
The worst thing was that she only behaved like that before this man and not anybody else.
“Patience. I must have patience.”
“Soon, all of this will be mine!”
Bai Tianxing suppressed the anger in his heart, trying his best not to reveal any of his emotions.
Before long, the banquet had reached its end.
The next day.
Chu Kuangren got up and washed up. While he was at it, he took the time to draw a gacha roll.
“Congratulations, host. You’ve drawn a Transcendent prize, the Tome of Physiques!”
Chu Kuangren, who was in the midst of washing up, was stunned.
What prize was that?
A Transcendent prize?!
D*mn!
The last time he drew a Transcendent prize was almost a few years ago. During that time, he was not even an Honorable yet.
That was the first time he had drawn a Transcendent prize, the Lucky Halo, which had given him a stroke of extraordinary luck and greatly increased the frequency of him drawing good items. Now, he has drawn his second Transcendent prize!
Chu Kuangren felt himself breathing a little heavier.
Why did the Forbidden Barren Wastelands’ Opportunities of Fortune or Sovereigns even matter now?
Compared to this Transcendent prize, those things were better off thrown in the bin!
“Open the inventory.”
Chu Kuangren opened his inventory, which kept all the prizes that he had drawn all these years. There was a vast collection of items there.
He immediately shifted his gaze to the last prize inside the inventory — Tome of Physiques (Transcendent-grade).
Gaining insight from this book would allow a person to turn whichever physique that existed in this world into his own!
No further explanation was needed. This sentence alone contained enough information which plunged Chu Kuangren into deep thought.
Derive whichever physiques in the world and turn them into your own?!
He had to admit that this was an insanely powerful skill to have. However, based on what Chu Kuangren knew, of the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques on the Firmament Star, even the most overpowered Chaos Physique was only marginally stronger than the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique.
The Chaos Physique might not even be comparable to his Immortal Body or Universal Cauldron Physique. Even the three-thousand types of physiques combined might not be as useful as his Immortal Body alone.
If so, how could this Tome of Physiques be ranked at the Transcendent grade?
There could only be one answer.
There were more overpowered physiques than the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques!
Just like his Immortal Body or Universal Cauldron Physique, for example. There had to be many more mysterious physiques in this world.
It was a Transcendent grade simply because this Tome of Physiques could apply deduction techniques over those other physiques!
“Physiques that are superior to the Three-Thousand Daoist Physiques? One day, I’ll explore that vast universe outside the Firmament Star.”
Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath.
After that, he retrieved the Tome of Physiques from the inventory.
A golden light was seen whizzing out from the inventory, entering his body, and reaching the depths of his consciousness.
Then, his consciousness followed the Tome of Physiques to the mysterious depths of his consciousness, which was the legendary soul origin!
The soul origin was the place where the soul and spiritual consciousness originated!
Every creature had a soul origin, but not everyone had the ability to locate this origin. Only monks who cultivated in soul techniques could find it.
Now, with the Tome of Physiques’ guidance, Chu Kuangren’s consciousness was able to find its own soul origin.
It was a grayish mist with an uncertain size. It looked like it was made up of minute dust particles, but it also looked as vast as the universe.
Upon closer inspection, this mist consisted of a total of three strands of gray qi. After seeing that, Chu Kuangren seemed as though he had understood something.
That represented the total amount of his soul energy.
Three strands of gray qi.
Chu Kuangren gazed at that Tome of Physiques again.
It was an ancient golden tome. It let out faint glows of golden light and mysterious patterns intertwined on its surface.
It looked like patterns that were more mystical than Dao patterns.
The gold-colored Tome of Physiques entered the soul origin, and the initially grayish and foggy soul origin suddenly flashed with glitter of bright light.
Chu Kuangren mobilized his mind, and the Tome of Physique was flipped to its first page. That page had all the Daoist Physiques that Chu Kuangren currently possesses written on it.
Immortal Body, Universal Cauldron Physique, Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, Transcendent Coalescence Physique, Infallible Tormented Physique, Golden Jade Body…
Upon seeing the Golden Jade Body written at the very latter part, Chu Kuangren almost forgot that he had cultivated such a physique in the past.
This Golden Jade Body was also a Top-notch Daoist Physique. However, as he already had several Supreme Daoist Physiques, two God-tier physiques, this Top-notch Daoist Physique was definitely not that attractive compared to the rest.
Chu Kuangren concentrated his mind on the Immortal Body. Then, the Tome of Physiques flipped again to the page that wrote about it.
The Immortal Body had six states.
He was currently at the fourth state, the blood drop revival stage.
Methods to improve this state are as follows:
First, increase your cultivation realm level.
Second, refine ten types of Immortal series Dao-grade elixirs.
Third…
Chu Kuangren studied the Tome of Physiques inside his soul origin. When he eventually went back to the real world, it was already midday.
He licked his lips in excitement. “Amazing. This Tome of Physiques is truly mysterious yet marvelous. The effects that it has on me are just immense.”
From studying the tome earlier, he found that the Tome of Physiques had two functions at this stage.
The rest of its functions remained to be uncovered.
Chu Kuangren could only utilize its first function now but not the second one, mainly because he did not have the raw materials to deduce it.
