Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 1019

Chapter 1019 Spiritual Body and Physical Body

The Taoist technique of Southern Underworld Ignis, which Huo Jun was proficient in, was extremely brilliant. It had declined only because it had strict requirements on the body constitution of its disciples. It was said that Huo Jun had only half of the Southern Underworld Ignis Body, and he could have his current cultivation. What kind of incredible achievement would the one with a pure Southern Underworld Ignis Body have after practicing it to the advanced level?
While thinking of that, Lai Pengyi was in a bad mood.
Watching him leave, Huo Jun’s killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
But in the end, he restrained it. Standing where he was, he thought for a while and then pressed his hand on Hua Mojian’s forehead. After a check, it wasn’t until he confirmed that Hua Mojian didn’t play any tricks on the boy that he felt relieved.
With a flick of his finger, four fire dragons wrapped themselves around Hua Mojian’s body again.
Hua Mojian suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a fire pit. His organs were burning, and he was in extreme pain. He could not help but scream loudly. The fire dragons on his body got to him tighter and tighter. In the end, even his ribs were pierced into his skin.
With a clatter, the clothes on Hua Mojian’s body were turned into ashes, revealing his naked body.
Gu Xing’er was shocked. She wanted to help him but was pushed away by a strange force. The fire dragons as thick as fingers finally got into the skin of Hua Mo Sword and ran through his muscles like loaches, which looked extremely horrible.
“Sir, this is…” Gu Xing’er looked at Huo Jun.
“Humph. Since this kid doesn’t listen to me well, I shall let him suffer a little,” Huo Jun said with an expressionless face. He then sat cross-legged on the spot and continued to heal himself by cultivation, ignoring Gu Xing’er.
Gu Xing’er felt helpless. She could only try to calm herself down, and slowly, she was no longer panicked.
She had gradually figured it out. “Since Huo Jun wants to take Hua Mojian as his successor, and the Southern Underworld Ignis Body is so rare to have, I guess Huo Jun would not harm Hua Mojian. This kind of painful torture should be a kind of training. I can only wait and see.”
Hua Mojian gradually stopped roaring.
He seemed to have fainted.
A pale red mist spread out from under his skin. His skin was as red as blood. His whole body was like a piece of burnt iron, emitting endless heat. Those fire dragons had disappeared as if they had completely integrated into his body.
Seeing this, Huo Jun nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
…
In the Stone Mouth City.
In the divine hall of God’s Palace.
A tall figure sat at the top of the hall. He took the jade slip and carefully read it before he frowned slightly and asked, “Did you just say that you searched the memories of those two natives from the Land of Infinity?”
Beneath him, Lai Pengyi was kneeling on the ground and didn’t even dare to look up. He said respectfully, “Your Majesty, this is exactly the case. It’s exactly the same as the memory in the jade slip. I can be sure that the information in it is true.”
The tall figure was lost in thought as he looked at the jade slip.
After a long time, he started talking in a voice as majestic as the voice of a god, “Stop messing with Huo Jun from now on. If he makes any requests, it will be allowed, and let his disciple join God’s Palace.”
When Lai Pengyi heard that, he was shocked.
He knew that from this moment on, the God Emperor would completely trust Huo Jun.
In the war for Immortal Artifacts, a total of more than a dozen Demigod and God Realm Masters had died. Even though God’s Palace had many God Realm experts under their command, it was still a heavy blow to them. Therefore, for the current God’s Palace, any God Realm Master was a precious treasure that must be treated well.
In particular, a God Realm Master like Huo Jun, who rose like the rising sun, had great potential, and he had proved his loyalty. They needed to draw him over to their side.
Huo Jun had killed Feng Xingli last time, and this time he had fought the Great Phoenix Saint head-on. Even though hundreds of black warships of God’s Palace had been lost, the God Emperor valued Huo Jun’s loyalty more. A suspected would not be used. Lai Pengyi believed that Huo Jun would definitely be put in an important position from now on.
And it was a kind of bestowal to let the native from the Land of Infinity with the Southern Underworld Ignis Body join God’s Palace.
“Send my order. From today on, Huo Jun will lead the Southern Heavenly Army, and he will be in full charge of the military operations in the Land of Infinity,” the God Emperor spoke up again.
Lai Pengyi couldn’t describe the shock in his heart.
He knew that the rise of Huo Jun could no longer be stopped.
He did not dare to doubt the God Emperor’s decision in the slightest and immediately retreated to issue the order while kneeling.
…
…
As soon as the Great Phoenix Saint finished speaking, she suddenly changed her body and turned into a Little Loli who had lost her senses. She wore her hair in pigtails and had a pair of big black eyes while she looked as cute as a porcelain doll. She said with a smile, “Ding Hao, did you guess it this time?”
Ding Hao was completely stunned.
“Ding Ding?
“That precocious kid, Ding Ding?”
The image that Great Phoenix Saint had created this time was the little girl with pigtails who had been following Xie Jieyu wherever she went. She was very precocious and had always claimed that she wanted to introduce her sister to Ding Hao.
Ding Hao was a little confused.
“Is it that the Great Phoenix Saint has transformed into the appearance of Ding Ding, or…
“Or is this precocious Ding Ding the Great Phoenix Saint?”
“Haha. How is it, handsome? I got you, didn’t I?” Ding Ding jumped up and down while saying proudly, “I am the Great Phoenix Saint. Haha. No matter how smart you are, you could never see this coming, right?”
Ding Hao took a long breath and said, “You… you… Didn’t you say that Ding Ding died?”
“Humph. I just wanted to say that to see if you still have me in your heart.” Ding Ding looked satisfied while saying, “Fortunately, when you heard the news, you showed that you care. Otherwise, I would definitely teach you a lesson.”
Cold sweat appeared on Ding Hao’s forehead.
“So, when you opened the transmission space gate just now and said that you wanted to send me away, in fact, you were testing me?” Ding Hao asked thoughtfully.
“Of course. If you had abandoned Sister Jieyu and left here by yourself, it would mean that you are a coward and you don’t deserve Sister Jieyu. I won’t let her marry a big coward who has no responsibility. Humph!” Ding Ding said proudly, “Behind the transmission gate, it actually leads to an ancient battlefield relic, in which there are undying souls fighting endlessly. If a living person enters it, he will immediately become an attack target and be lost in the endless war. Without my order, no one can escape it!”
An uncontrollable chill rose from Ding Hao’s back.
This little girl was not only mature but also very scheming. He almost fell into her trap.
“Well, fortunately, I didn’t make the wrong choice.” Ding Hao touched his nose and then asked seriously, “I think we should have a good talk now. Ding Ding, who are you? The Great Phoenix Saint? Or…”
Ding Ding shook her braids and said proudly, “I am the Great Phoenix Saint, and the Great Phoenix Saint is me. Don’t you get it?”
Ding Hao widened his eyes. “Are… Are you really the Great Phoenix Saint? How is this possible?”
The little girl snorted, pouted, and said, “And how is it impossible?” As she said that, she smiled triumphantly. After that, an extremely powerful force bloomed in her body and disappeared in a flash.
However, Ding Hao’s expression changed greatly because he felt as if he had been swallowed.
At this moment, even Ding Hao, who was strong, also had an impulse to tremble and worship her.
“Yes, this is truly the aura of the Great Phoenix Saint.”
This power was too strong and overbearing with a kind of overwhelming momentum. It was far more terrifying than that of an ordinary God Realm Master. Ding Hao’s Devine Senses of his Mind Essential had reached the Nebula Realm, so he couldn’t be wrong about her power. Compared with the strike that destroyed the black warships of the God’s Palace and defeated Huo Jun, the power that bloomed in Ding Ding’s body just now was even more terrifying.
Seeing Ding Hao’s shocked expression, Ding Ding smiled triumphantly.
“No, that’s not right.” Ding Hao thought of something and said loudly, “You have been with Jieyu from the beginning, but… but the Great Phoenix Saint was released by accident when I was in the ice crack underground of Snow Dragon Mountain…”
“In terms of time, this doesn’t make sense.”
Ding Ding casually sat on the jade table and hummed, “Humph. That frozen phoenix is just my physical body. My soul has long been out of that seal. What you are seeing now is my spiritual body.”
“Physical body?
“Spiritual Body?”
Ding Hao seemed to have realized something.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder when I looked at this girl back then, I found her a bit weird. It turns out to be her spiritual body.” The voice of the Saber Master came from the Devil Saber. “Tut-tut, that’s amazing. She seems to be also a legend that has survived the Immortal Period. She could create a spiritual body outside of her physical body. I’m afraid that she was also a supreme master in the past!”
“For the time being, I can’t figure out her moves,” The Sword Master also said, “but now her spiritual body and physical body are combined, and she has almost recovered her former strength. At least in this world, she can be regarded as an invincible figure… Tut-tut, this is really interesting.”
Hearing the words of these two experienced masters, Ding Hao no longer had doubts in his heart.
It was obvious that this little girl, who was like a porcelain doll, was actually the Great Phoenix Saint.
This news was so shocking.
Who would have thought that the Great Phoenix Saint, who had stunned the Northern Region for so many years while no one dared to compete with her, had once lived in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for a period as a little girl who had always followed others around?
If this news was spread out, even the dead like Li Jianyi, Tang Folei, and Qi Qingshan would likely jump out of their grave in shock.
Ding Hao soon came to a realization.
“If Ding Ding is the Great Phoenix Saint, then it makes sense that Xie Jieyu could become the Holy Goddess of Immortal Phoenix Palace. The little girl has such a good relationship with her. Maybe she will even hand the position of the Palace Master over to Xie Jieyu.”
