Chapter 333: Yuan Sovereign Physique

At the mention of Yun Suxin, Yue Qianchi’s expression immediately dimmed.

Seeing the expectation and worry in Yun Baiyu’s eyes only made it harder for her to respond.

“What are you standing there for? Say something already!”

Su Qinian, seeing Yue Qianchi frozen in place, urged her impatiently.

Yue Qianchi shot a glare at her socially-clueless master, then sighed.

She couldn’t think of any comforting words for Yun Baiyu, so she just tried to phrase things carefully:

“Valley Master Yun, originally Sister Suxin was with me. But two days ago, the Jade Pool Holy Land struck a deal with the Burning Purity Holy Land, and then Yun Suxin was sent there.”

“Please don’t blame the Ancestor. When he rescued me, he was being chased down by Immortal Yuyao, but even so, he searched every corner of the dungeon…”

“So many days have passed. All the talented disciples in the dungeon were refined into Human Pills by Immortal Yuyao. I only survived because of my special Dao Body. So maybe it’s actually a blessing that Sister Suxin was sent away—perhaps the Burning Purity Holy Land won’t be in such a hurry to refine her.”

Hearing this, all color drained from Yun Baiyu’s face. Her legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground.

Su Qinian rushed to support her and finally understood why Yue Qianchi had hesitated earlier.

At a time when everyone else was rejoicing, the news Yue Qianchi brought was undoubtedly a nightmare for Yun Baiyu.

“Valley Master Yun, please come in for a word.”

Hearing the voice from inside the room, Yun Baiyu clutched at the chance like a lifeline and rushed in, dropping to her knees beside the bed.

But she didn’t speak.

She just knelt there, biting her lip, eyes brimming with tears.

She knew the Sword Pavilion Ancestor had already pushed himself to the limit going to Jade Pool and was now heavily injured.

She also knew Zhang Mengchu had almost died trying to sabotage Immortal Yuyao.

She didn’t dare make any more requests—but she was still a mother worried sick for her daughter.

So all she could do was kneel there, head bowed like a swan waiting for the axe—one slash away from being plunged into utter despair.

“Sigh.” Chen Huaian looked at Yun Baiyu’s haggard form and couldn’t help but feel terrible.

He really had searched the dungeon from top to bottom and hadn’t found Yun Suxin.

At the time, he thought she had already been refined.

It wasn’t until Yue Qianchi mentioned it just now that he learned she’d been transferred to Burning Purity Holy Land.

As far as he knew, that old monk from the Burning Purity Holy Land was even trickier than Immortal Yuyao.

Immortal Yuyao had been caught in Zhang Mengchu and Dan Yun’s trap. Her cultivation would keep deteriorating, and she’d now focus entirely on stabilizing it. She no longer posed a major threat.

But Reverend Karma was different.

He was a legit Mahayana cultivator—Second Tribulation stage.

To defeat him head-on—without considering magical weapons—Chen Huaian would need to reach the Mid Core Formation Stage in this world.

That kind of power wasn’t something he could achieve overnight.

And by the time he did, Yun Suxin might not even have a hair left on her head.

“Valley Master Yun, no need to worry like this. I quite like that girl Suxin as well—This Venerable One will definitely find a way to bring her back.”

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

The road would appear when they reached the mountain.

Just as Chen Huaian was racking his brain for ideas, something on his quest log caught his eye.

[Main Quest 4.0: Uncover the Holy Land’s Conspiracy, Challenge the Jade Pool Holy Land, Rescue Sword Pavilion’s Senior Disciple Yue Qianchi (Completed, Reward Pending)]

He hadn’t even been paying attention to the task screen, but somehow the quest had been marked complete without him noticing.

So far, all the rewards from main quests had been pretty generous. Maybe this 4.0 reward could turn the tide of his current dilemma?

Chen Huaian glanced at Yun Baiyu’s sorrowful face and silently chose to collect the reward.

[Congratulations, Player has received: Physique Blind Box]

[Drawing reward…]

Chen Huaian’s lips twitched.

What the h*ll? He hadn’t even clicked anything!

Didn’t a draw like this deserve to be saved for an auspicious day?

What if he got some trashy reward...

[Congratulations, Player has obtained the Physique: Yuan Sovereign Dao Body]

“Just as I thought. Trash.”

His heart sank halfway. “Yuan Sovereign Dao Body”? That didn’t even sound cool!

[Yuan Sovereign Dao Body has been added to your inventory. Select to activate.]

Chen Huaian didn’t use it right away. He chose to inspect it.

[Yuan Sovereign Dao Body: Heaven and Earth as its source, Sun and Moon as its eyes, all beings converge—Supreme Dao Embodiment.]

Chen Huaian: “???”

Bro, if it’s that overpowered, why didn’t you say so earlier?

He almost tossed it in the inventory to rot!

Still… the description sounded fancy, but it was pretty vague. Couldn’t there be a more concrete explanation?

His gaze drifted toward Yun Baiyu again.

She was still overwhelmed with grief. Maybe this would lift her spirits a little.

“Ahem!” Chen Huaian cleared his throat and suddenly asked,

“Valley Master Yun, I’ve heard you’re extremely knowledgeable. This Venerable One has a question for you—perhaps it could help in rescuing your daughter.”

At the word “rescue,” Yun Baiyu’s hollow eyes flickered back to life.

She immediately crawled forward on her knees and bowed low.

“Senior, please ask! I will answer anything I know—everything, no matter what!”

“Mm.” Chen Huaian gave a profound hum.

“Have you heard of the Yuan Sovereign Dao Body?”

The room fell silent.

Sword Pavilion disciples looked at each other in confusion—only those of Su Qinian’s level showed any signs of deep thought.

“I have,” Yun Baiyu said after thinking for a moment.

“It’s said that the first person to ascend to immortality in the Cangyun Realm possessed the Yuan Sovereign Dao Body. While the Five-Spirit Absolute Body is guaranteed to ascend eventually, the Yuan Sovereign Dao Body is a born Immortal Constitution. Even at the Qi Refining Stage, the bearer has one foot in the Immortal Gate.”

“Mmhm…” Chen Huaian felt so good he could almost sh*t himself.

He asked again, “So what special abilities does this body have?”

“They say it can comprehend every Dao principle in the world.

If the bearer chooses sword cultivation, they’ll reach the peak of the sword path.

If they study the Five Elements, they’ll reach mastery there as well.”

“Their comprehension ability is said to be terrifying—if they’re not having an epiphany, then they’re walking the path toward epiphany…”

“Of course, all of this is just from ancient records. There’s no way to verify if it’s true.”

Yun Baiyu told him everything she knew.

Then looked up expectantly at the Sword Sovereign lying in bed, waiting to see what he’d say.

“A physique that’s constantly in epiphany mode, huh? So was it because This Venerable One’s cultivation speed was too slow—and compared to Qingran’s freakish comprehension, I looked like a complete idiot, so…”

Chen Huaian frowned, deep in thought, and even started getting a little emotional.

“You old rascal of a system… You always manage to give This Venerable One a little warmth at just the right moment. Just like Seven Space sanitary pads…”

Yun Suxin’s problem had to be solved.

At the root of it all—Immortal Yuyao and Reverend Karma were both driven by one thing:

The desire to ascend to immortality.

So...

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, lips curling into the sly grin of an old fox.

He turned to Yun Baiyu and asked in a low voice:

“Valley Master Yun, let me ask you—if a genius with the Yuan Sovereign Dao Body were to appear in this world,

Wouldn’t Immortal Yuyao and that old monk from Burning Purity fight each other to the death over it?”
