The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 4 Body Tempering Level 4

"you!"

The empress was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

But she just didn't dare to gamble!

The emperor didn't investigate further this time, but he was clearly angered.

If they were to incur the emperor's displeasure through underhanded means, even the powerful Lin family would not be able to withstand the consequences.

"Good! Very good!"

"Third brother, we'll see!"

The Empress gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words.

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and stormed off in a fit of rage.

The smile in Lu Xuan's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by icy coldness.

We'll see.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see.

This is just the beginning of the story!

……

Wang Cong was clearly terrified by Lu Xuan's ruthless methods. In less than half an hour, he personally led two obsequious and honest farmers to the courtyard where Lu Xuan lived.

Upon seeing her parents, Lin Wan'er, who had been anxiously waiting, burst into tears, and the three of them embraced and wept bitterly.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back before the steps, glancing indifferently at Wang Cong, who looked as if he had lost his parents, and coldly uttered a single word.

"roll."

Wang Cong felt as if he had been granted a pardon and fled in a panic.

He is now terrified of this once cowardly third prince!

Lu Xuan did not disturb the family's reunion. He simply instructed the servants to prepare a clean side room for them, and then returned to his bedroom alone, closing the door behind him.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and, by the dim candlelight, began to examine this brand-new body.

"Weak, really...too weak."

If I possessed even a fraction of the cultivation I had gained in my past life, I wouldn't need to rely on the emperor's influence today.

The Holy Lord must not be insulted.

Kill anyone who gets in your way.

Anyone who gets in the way will be killed.

Forget about the empress or the prime minister, just kill them all.

but……

After a long while, Lu Xuan opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

The physical condition of this body is simply appalling; the meridians are narrow and severely congested, and the qi and blood are severely depleted.

The Great Yan Dynasty values ​​martial arts, and the path of martial arts begins with body tempering.

The Body Tempering Realm is divided into nine levels, with each level leading to a heavenly ascent.

Then, moving upwards, the realms are Spirit Sea Realm, Soul Platform Realm, Heavenly Origin Realm, Returning to Origin Realm, Dharma Aspect Realm, Cave Heaven Realm, Nirvana Realm, and King-Sealing Realm. Reaching the King-Sealing Realm is the pinnacle of the Tianlan World where he is currently located.

After breaking through to the Immortal Realm, one can ascend to the Upper Realm.

After that come the Celestial Realm, Divine Fire Realm, Creation Realm, Emperor Realm, Saint Lord, and so on.

In her previous life, the Queen of Yaochi was at the peak of the Emperor Realm.

There are only nine Holy Lords in total. Under the Heavenly Dao, only nine Holy Lords are allowed to exist. This is why the Queen of Yaochi in her previous life conspired with the Netherworld Holy Lord to plot against her!

Only if I die and a vacancy arises for the Holy Lord can Yaochi possibly be filled.

This third prince was already eighteen years old, but he only had the third level of Body Tempering cultivation, which was even weaker than some of the slightly stronger guards in the palace. No wonder he was bullied and regarded as a piece of trash.

"I have experience from my past life. Even if this body is completely useless, there are countless secret techniques to transform my tendons and marrow. But... what kind of power could protect my true spirit and allow me to live another life under the combined attack of Yaochi and Youming?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Lu Xuan's mind.

In his previous life, he suffered the fate of having his physical body destroyed and his soul annihilated. Logically speaking, he should have long since vanished into nothingness.

But he was reborn in an incredibly bizarre way.

There must be something fishy about this.

Immediately, Lu Xuan calmed his mind and controlled his divine sense to explore the depths of his brain and even the origin of his soul.

Shortly afterward, his body jolted violently.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, a bead was quietly floating.

This is a completely black, perfectly round bead, about the size of a longan, with no patterns on its surface.

Like a deep, boundless black hole, just one glance makes you feel as if your soul is being sucked in.

The moment Lu Xuan saw it, a hint of shock finally appeared on his usually calm face.

"It was it!"

This bead was obtained by him in his previous life in a forbidden place called the Primordial Divine Ruins.

At the time, the struggle for this item sparked a chaotic battle among several Saint Lord-level experts, shattering several small worlds. Lu Xuan overpowered the crowd to seize it.

However, after he took it back and studied it for a whole century, the bead showed no reaction whatsoever, no matter how it was forged with real fire, bombarded with lightning, or refined with divine soul.

Over time, he simply left it to gather dust in a corner of his storage space, treating it as nothing more than an ordinary object made of special material.

Unexpectedly, at the moment of his death, it was this stubborn bead that protected a trace of his true spirit and led him to be reborn!

Moreover, at this moment, the bead was no longer as lifeless as before, but exuded a vast, ancient, and terrifying aura!

"What kind of treasure is it?"

Lu Xuan took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.

The magical treasures of the world are divided into the following categories from low to high: mortal artifacts, spiritual artifacts, mystical artifacts, earth artifacts, heaven artifacts, and the legendary holy artifacts that only a holy lord can control and that possess the power to destroy the world.

In his previous life, his natal divine weapon, the Haotian Sword, was a top-grade sacred artifact, powerful enough to cleave through the boundary.

But the aura emanating from this bead at this moment was far more profound and unfathomable than any sacred artifact he had ever seen in his previous life.

There is an aura that transcends the laws of heaven and earth.

"An existence surpassing even the sacred artifacts..."

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his breathing became a little rapid.

"Could it be that this thing... is related to that legendary divine realm?"

The nine holy lords have been trapped for many years, unable to break through the Heavenly Dao and take that final step, because it seems that some kind of rule is missing in the world.

Now that this opportunity has presented itself, Lu Xuan was so excited that he simply extended his divine sense slowly closer to it.

This time, unlike in the previous life, it was not directly bounced away.

His consciousness entered the bead without any hindrance.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into my mind, and a sharp, throbbing pain struck, as if my brain was about to be torn apart.

But Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and persevered, his eyes filled with wild joy.

It's a cultivation technique!

As one obscure and incomprehensible golden character after another appeared in his mind, Lu Xuan became increasingly alarmed.

This bead is called the Primordial Bead, but its specific effects are unknown.

The technique is called the "Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture," and its profound mysteries are unheard of.

It does not cultivate spiritual energy, but directly plunders the essence of heaven and earth and transforms it into the most primordial primordial power.

Its domineering nature far surpassed any cultivation technique he had ever seen in his previous life.

Lu Xuan immediately calmed his mind, stopped thinking about it, and began to operate according to the trajectory of the technique.

In an instant, a gust of wind rose from the ground in the previously deathly silent room.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred meters was instantly drawn in and frantically converged towards this bedroom, forming a visible vortex of spiritual energy.

Then, a series of popping sounds, like popping beans, came from inside Lu Xuan's body.

Click, click.

His originally congested and narrow meridians were forcibly opened and widened under the cleansing of this spiritual energy.

Wherever the energy passes, the barriers of the meridians are brutally torn apart, then reassembled, becoming even more resilient and expansive.

The excruciating pain caused Lu Xuan to be soaked in sweat from head to toe.

But he didn't even flinch.

Compared to the pain of being annihilated in my previous life, what is this little bit?

Shortly afterward, a soft sound came from the body.

Four stages of body tempering.
