"We don’t know each other, so I’m not interested."
Chen Xuan replied.
The old man’s expression flickered. He had wanted to stop him, but then he recalled Chen Xuan’s astonishing battle record. For a moment, his face was a colorful sight to behold, and in the end, he didn’t dare to make a move.
"Very well. Since Young Hero Chen is busy, we’ll let it be. I will take my leave."
The old man was very rational. He cupped his hands slightly and turned to leave.
"Heaven-Burning Valley... They don’t have good intentions..."
Gu Xinghe couldn’t help but give the man a deep look as he departed.
Chen Xuan had killed their Nine-Yang Saint Body...
Even though it was just a crippled physique, it was still a slap to Heaven-Burning Valley’s face...
"I know they don’t have good intentions."
Chen Xuan replied.
Another invisible venomous snake.
Added to the list.
...
Before long, the group arrived at Luck Tower.
It was truly extraordinary, just as expected.
The entire building was magnificent and resplendent, with all sorts of rare and precious items displayed everywhere.
Most of them were natural treasures.
There were also Spiritual Birds and white cranes dancing, accompanied by stunning beauties.
Before they even ate, they had already feasted their eyes.
Chen Xuan was like Granny Liu visiting the Grandview Garden, truly stunned by the sheer amount of natural treasures covering the floor.
"Brother Chen, you still need cultivation-type natural treasures, right? I’ll get some more for you from my home later," Chai Yuan said.
"No need!"
Chen Xuan shook his head, refusing.
He had taken advantage of him before, and that was that.
Now that they were all friends, he couldn’t in good conscience keep taking advantage of him.
"Don’t worry, my family has plenty. Just consider it a gift. Why stand on ceremony between us?" Chai Yuan said with a smile.
"Exactly. Celestial Treasure Mountain is ridiculously rich. They have more natural treasures than they can eat. Just take them without worry," Yan Guichen laughed.
Before long, a smiling handmaiden greeted them and led Chen Xuan’s group inside.
The number of people increased. They were in groups of three and five, and every one of them possessed a formidable cultivation.
There were even quite a few old masters at the Inner Realm.
This gave a glimpse into the status of this place in Grotto Heaven City.
"Unbelievable. That Chen Xuan is actually one of the nine Flawless Great Saint Bodies?"
"Isn’t he? I was wondering why he was so powerful, and it turns out this is the reason."
"It’s really enviable."
"Of the nine Flawless Great Saint Bodies, how many have appeared now? Including Chen Xuan, that makes four, right?"
"We have two on our side, the outside world has Chen Xuan, and the Northern Barbarians have Su Lun..."
"Who do you think is the strongest among these four Flawless Great Saint Bodies?"
"Is that even a question? It’s definitely Chen Xuan."
"I also think Chen Xuan is more likely. That guy’s battle record is just too absurd..."
Many people discussed in low voices.
Chen Xuan, who was just passing by, had a change in expression and said, "Flawless Great Saint Body?"
He had heard this kind of news from Chu Shanhe before.
Twenty-seven unique physiques in the world.
Nine Flawless Great Saint Bodies!
Nine Forbidden Calamity Bodies!
Nine Heaven-Defying Bodies!
The Nine-Yang Saint Body he had killed before belonged to the Heaven-Defying Bodies.
"What is a Flawless Great Saint Body?"
Chen Xuan asked Gu Xinghe, who was beside him.
Gu Xinghe replied, "They are the nine strongest physiques born in this world. They are accompanied by phenomena from birth, and each one has different abilities. They are called heaven’s most perfect darlings, and their every move is followed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth."
At this point, he looked at Chen Xuan and frowned. "Are you a Flawless Great Saint Body or not?"
"I’m not."
Chen Xuan replied.
"You’re not?"
Old Deng’s face froze. "How could you not be?"
The others beside them also looked at Chen Xuan in shock.
"If I’m not, I’m not. What’s the big deal?"
Chen Xuan replied, "Tell me, what are the nine types?"
Gu Xinghe took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "There is the Chaos Indestructible Body, the Unrivaled Creation Body, the Spacetime Sovereign Body, the Karma Calamity Body, the All Things Return to Origin Body, the Eternal Silence Body, the Six Paths Reincarnation Body, the Heaven’s Mandate Usurper Body, and the True Spirit Incorruptible Body! Each physique has unique phenomena and abilities. Easily crossing three or four realms is absolutely not a problem for them."
"So what kind of body does Alliance Leader Chu have?"
Chen Xuan asked.
Along the way, he had heard too many rumors about Chu Shanhe.
It made it easy for him to suspect that Chu Shanhe might have some special physique.
"No, he just has a mortal body."
Gu Xinghe shook his head. "As mortal as they come. That son of a bitch, I don’t know what kind of dog-shit luck he stepped in, but his cultivation was just smooth sailing all the way. He shot up the ranks. If he didn’t have resources, he’d steal them. Once he stole them, he’d cultivate. And as he cultivated, he ended up third on the Heaven Rankings..."
"Heh."
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
’Fair enough.’
’A mortal body?’
’To reach third on the Heaven Rankings with a mortal body, and make a group of Grotto Heaven masters not dare to act rashly against him.’
’Chu Shanhe is truly impressive.’
"Let’s stop talking about this and eat first!"
Chai Yuan said with a smile, hurrying to get everyone settled.
"Right, let’s eat first!"
Yan Guichen said with a laugh.
The group walked towards a private room.
Before long, the menu was served.
His gaze swept over it.
Chen Xuan’s horizons were broadened once again.
It was all medicinal cuisine.
Natural treasures stewed with Spiritual Birds.
Natural treasures paired with Spirit Wine.
Spirit Beast Whip paired with Spirit Fruit...
The main theme was pure decadence!
Soon, Chen Xuan made his choices and passed the menu to Old Deng. Old Deng then chose, and after he was done, Yan Guichen took his turn...
In no time.
The food and wine arrived at the table, and a wave of Spiritual Qi washed over them.
Chen Xuan and the others immediately began to dig in.
Only now did Chen Xuan understand the true meaning of life.
’Damn it, to think such decadent food existed in this world...’
’I’ve been living like a dog for the past few decades.’
’Who said you can’t spend a fortune on a meal?’
’You never know what kind of culinary heights others can reach!’
The meal lasted from noon until night. Everyone’s bellies were bulging and overflowing with Spiritual Qi before it finally ended.
Chai Yuan got up to pay the bill. With a grand wave of his hand, he signed the tab.
"Let’s go, Brother Chen. I’ll take you to my house to get some natural treasures."
Chai Yuan called to Chen Xuan.
"I couldn’t possibly. Really, I can’t."
Chen Xuan refused repeatedly.
"What are you afraid of? Just consider it a reward for helping my sister vent her anger this time."
Chai Yuan laughed heartily.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to refuse again, countless seismic waves suddenly appeared in his mind, sizzling and hissing. They were large and small, nested within each other, like a torrential downpour.
’Hm?’
A glint flashed in his eyes.
’So much malice?’
’It seems my trip around the Grotto Heaven world has indeed attracted a lot of attention.’
’Are there really this many people who want to kill me in secret?’
’I wonder if they’ll all jump out when we leave in a bit...’
"Brother Chai, since you insist, it would be rude of me to refuse. If you run into any more trouble in the future, I’ll definitely help without a second thought."
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
The waves of malice in his mind reached an unprecedented, boiling point.
He could barely contain himself.
"Don’t worry, if anything comes up in the future, I’ll definitely look for you!"
Chai Yuan smiled.
The group immediately set off, heading for the Chai family residence.
Before long, Chen Xuan had once again obtained seven cultivation-type natural treasures from Chai Yuan.
Originally, there were also twenty healing-type treasures.
But unfortunately, the healing ones were useless to him, so he returned them all.
Soon, Chen Xuan bid farewell to everyone and left Celestial Treasure Mountain with Old Deng.
"Kid... I think we’re in trouble."
Gu Xinghe’s expression was grave as he carefully sent a sound transmission.
"I know. If we run into an Outer Saint Level expert, you block them. I’ll handle the rest."
Chen Xuan transmitted back.
"..."
Gu Xinghe’s heart grew heavy. He transmitted, "How about... we go back to the Chai family and hide?"
"Is there really an Outer Saint?"
Chen Xuan was startled and came to a stop.
"One Outer Saint, and two others equivalent to the Earth Rankings!"
Gu Xinghe whispered.
Chen Xuan secretly sighed in relief.
’And here I thought there were a lot of Outer Saints.’
"Merely Earth Rankings. We can take them."
Chen Xuan transmitted.
Gu Xinghe was startled again and looked at Chen Xuan.
’Just what realm has this kid reached?’
’Damn it!’
’If he doesn’t release his aura, I can’t sense it at all.’
’This is exactly what it was like when I faced Chu Shanhe back in the day...’
’It wasn’t until Chu Shanhe laid his cards on the table that I realized he had reached the Outer Saint realm...’
’Damn it, this kid isn’t like Chu Shanhe, is he? Is he also about to reach the Outer Saint realm?’
The more Old Deng thought about it, the less he could control his hands. He could feel them trembling uncontrollably.
