Chapter 9: Immortal Body?

  And at that moment when Xiaotian's body was floating in mid-air and undergoing a strange transformation, a ghostly green figure suddenly flashed out from within the cave.

  "Huh? Who is this person? Is it really the legendary Xian body shape? But somehow, it doesn't seem quite right!" The newcomer exclaimed in surprise as he gazed at the floating figure above!

  The man looked about sixty years old, tall and large in stature, wearing a cyan Taoist robe, with his hair combed into a Taoist bun, his face radiant with a healthy glow, his features ancient and simple, three strands of black whiskers hanging down to his chest, his eyes closed as if in meditation, yet shining with a divine light, exuding an ethereal aura.

  "What? No good!" When the figure shifted his gaze to the small pool in the center of the stone room, he was shocked and pale, letting out a miserable cry. The pool had already dried up, and the purple stems and vines of the red fruit had withered and fallen to the bottom of the pool.

  "Who did it?! Where's my Crimson Fruit?! Where's my Ten-Thousand-Year Glacial Jade Essence?! How could this be?!" The Taoist was yelling like a madman, his earlier ethereal demeanor completely gone.

  "It's you!!" Dao Ren fixed his gaze on Xiao Tian, who was suspended in mid-air, and sprang into action, his hands like eagle claws, reaching out to grab Xiao Tian's body.

  "Ah——" a miserable cry, only to see Xiao Tian's body flash with white light, the man's hand had just touched Xiao Tian and let out a miserable cry, flying backwards and crashing to the ground. What was even more terrifying was that in an instant, the man's body melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun, leaving behind only a blue Daoist robe and an ancient-style ring on the ground. Next to it stood a small, transparent figure with a face full of panic, looking at the figure's face, it was surprisingly the same as the man from earlier, but with a bitter expression and a dull gaze.

  "What a powerful protective divine light, if I had hesitated for another moment, my body and spirit would have been destroyed! Fortunately, the primordial infant escaped in time." The little man exclaimed. It turned out that this little man was the primordial infant of the Taoist's cultivation.

  "What kind of person is this guy?" Dao Ren's Yuanying heart was still trembling as he looked at the faintly glowing body of Xiao Tian, and at this moment, he had completely calmed down.

  "Look at this physique, it's just a young man, seemingly without any cultivation, yet he has such a powerful protective divine light. And looking at his body, it's transparent and emitting a faint white glow, which matches the legendary Xianti composed of high-level energy. Could it be that an Upper Realm's Upper Immortal has descended? Hmm, yes, it seems that my Zhu Guo and Wannian Han Yu Mei have also been taken by him. Now I only have Yuan Ying left, and the many magical artifacts in the ring cannot be used, my strength is not even one-tenth of what it was before. If I go out like this, if I'm not careful, I'll fall into the hands of enemies or evil cultivators, that would be a fate worse than death. You know, a Yuan Ying without ** has very little defensive power. It's better to wait for this Upper Immortal to wake up and ask for his guidance. Who knows, maybe I'll gain good fortune from misfortune and achieve the Dao I've been pursuing for many years. At worst, as an immortal, he won't look down on my Yuan Ying in the combined body period. Later, I can think of a way to cultivate into a scattered immortal, it's not too late. Hmm, that's what I'll do! Alas, poor me, Daquan True Person, after cultivating for over 5,000 years, and being considered an expert in the combined body period, who would have thought that today I'd fall to such a state!" Along with a long sigh, this Daoist named Daquan True Person secretly made up his mind to wait for Little Tian, this "Upper Immortal", to wake up before making any plans.

  "It's just that this immortal's attire is really quite special!" The Great Truth True Person couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the tattered cloth strips hanging from Little Heaven's body, and he was puzzled by the immortal's aesthetic views.

  In the mountains, there is no sun or moon. Daquan Zhenren did not expect that his wait would last for three years. Fortunately, as a cultivator of truth, time was abundant, so Daquan Zhenren didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

  On this day, Dàquán True Man sat cross-legged on the stone bed as usual to cultivate. Three years of bitter cultivation made Dàquán True Man's Yuányīng slightly more solid, and his strength recovered a little, which made him very happy. Because he felt that he could recover so quickly, to a large extent, it was due to the influence of the aura on that "Upper Immortal".

  "The Upper Immortal is indeed an Upper Immortal, the energy aura emanating from his body can actually increase his cultivation speed by several times." The Great Truth True Person was very satisfied with his choice three years ago.

  "Hmm, the superior immortal is about to wake up." As he pondered, Dàquán Zhēnrén suddenly discovered that the "superior immortal" who had been still for three years slightly moved his body, and hastily got out of bed to kneel beside him, waiting for the "superior immortal" to regain consciousness.

  Only a flash of light on Xiao Tian's body, and he completely retracted it into his body. Xiao Tian's figure was fully revealed, and in three years, although he hadn't eaten or drunk anything, he had grown much taller.

  Xiao Tian's eyes slowly opened, and he looked around to find himself floating in mid-air, unable to help but be greatly shocked!

  "Ah!" Xiaotian, who had just woken up, thudded to the ground with a "thud", exclaiming in surprise. What was strange was that he didn't feel any pain despite falling from such a great height.

  "Huh? What's going on here?" Xiaotian shook off the remaining tattered cloth, staring at his exposed arm in astonishment. The skin that had been slightly darkened by the sun before was now crystal clear and translucent, as white as smooth and transparent condensed milk.

  "Ah, so white! I don't want it like this!" Looking at his skin, Little Heaven couldn't help but let out a sorrowful cry. He didn't want to become like a girl!

  "Shang Xian——" A weak voice sounded, looking at Xiao Tian's loss of composure, Daquan Zhenren, who was kneeling beside him, did not dare to speak loudly.

  "Huh? Where did this little kid come from? No, that's not right, it's a little dwarf!" Xiao Tian looked at Daquan Zhenren in surprise, seeing the small stature but an old and strange face.

  "Superior Immortal, I am from the Cultivation Realm's ——" The True Person of the Daoist Canon didn't dare to be arrogant.

  "Immortal? What are you calling me? What immortal?" Little Tian was very curious about the old man's form of address.

  Even if Daquan was really stupid, he would have discovered the inconsistency. Since Xiao Tian woke up, he didn't have any demeanor of an immortal, but rather looked like an ordinary young man in the mortal world.

  "You are——" Daquan Zhenren still dared not to be presumptuous, and asked cautiously, intimidated by the sudden disappearance of his physical body three years ago.

  "I am Feng Xiao Tian of Fengjiazhuang, which village are you from?" asked Xiao Tian in response.

  "Are you an immortal?" Ignoring Xiao Tian's question, Dàquán Zhēnrén continued to ask.

  "What? Immortal? Of course not!"

  "What brings you here?"

  "This is a long story." Little Tian looked at Daquan, who didn't seem like a bad person and was also short in stature, so he thought it wouldn't be a threat to himself, and thus told his experience from start to finish.

  "I ate the fruit that grew by the pond and drank some of its water, I thought I was dead, but unexpectedly woke up again, and then saw you." Little Tian concluded.

  "Heaven's will! Heaven's will!" After hearing Xiao Tian's words, Dàquán Zhēnrén sighed and looked up at the sky. Dàquán Zhēnrén had never thought that his idealized superior immortal was just a rustic youth, and he almost lost his life to an ordinary child. However, Dàquán Zhēnrén also understood that relying solely on Zhu Guo and Wàn Nián Hán Yù Suì's words, this farm boy should have exploded and died long ago. That immortal body must be genuine, and it's likely that this youth has an extraordinary origin and experiences, but he himself doesn't know about it. Thinking of this, Dàquán Zhēnrén couldn't help but feel a little envious of Xiao Tian's good fortune.

  The speculation of the crowd was not far from the truth. Xiao Tian's narrow escape this time was indeed due to a ball of immortal energy in his abdomen. The medicinal effects of Zhu Guo and Wan Nian Han Yu Mei were originally incompatible, and their combination in Xiao Tian's abdomen should have resulted in his body exploding and death. However, under external forces, the immortal energy that was originally sealed in Xiao Tian's dantian suddenly burst forth, forcibly merging the medicinal properties of Zhu Guo and Wan Nian Han Yu Mei and producing a new kind of immortal energy that possessed both yin and yang energies. Within three years, this energy transformed Xiao Tian's mortal body into an immortal one. This outcome was unexpected even by the person who had originally sealed the immortal energy. The origin of the immortal energy in Xiao Tian's abdomen is naturally related to his birth, but this will be explained later.

  "Hey mister, where are you from? How did you also end up in this valley?" Looking at the short and silent figure, Little Tian was also curious about his origins.

  "I, well, it's a long story." It turned out that this old man was actually from the Xianxia world of the Divine Continent. He was the leader of a small sect called the Purple Cloud Sect, and by their generation, the sect had been reduced to just him. A thousand years ago, while searching for a type of herb, he stumbled upon this mountain valley and unexpectedly discovered the Zhu fruit growing here. Overjoyed, he calculated that it would take a thousand years to mature, so he carved out a stone room and transplanted the Ten Thousand Year Ice Jade Core and the Zhu fruit inside. He stayed there for a while before leaving, planning to return when the Zhu fruit was ripe to pick it, which would allow him to break through his stagnant cultivation level and revive his sect. However, three years ago, he arrived late by one step, and instead, it benefited Feng Xiaotian.

  "Oh, you're a flying immortal?" Xiao Tian had also read many legends of immortals in the Feng Qingru's family library, and upon hearing Quan Daoren say this, he immediately became respectful and asked with great interest.

  "Cough, cough, well, not yet, let's just say a preparatory immortal for now! Hmm, are you willing to become an immortal?" Daquan Zhenren suddenly asked. He suddenly thought that Xiaotian Xian's body had already formed, and this young man was actually a true immortal, but he didn't know it himself. If he could guide him in his cultivation, the young man's future prospects would be boundless. Moreover, Daquan Zhenren's current state really needed a reliable helper. Besides, keeping this child by his side would at least speed up his own cultivation, even if it was just cultivating as a loose immortal, it would save a lot of time.

  "When I become a fairy? Of course, of course!" Little Tian nodded hastily. As a fairy, she could ride on clouds and fog, change in countless ways... Hehe, how wonderful! Yan'er would be so shocked to see herself flying! Alas, only if Yan'er were here now... Little Tian's mind was already imagining what it would be like to become a fairy.

  Others cultivate to become immortals, but Xiao Tian cultivates his true self after becoming an immortal body. What kind of result will this bring to Xiao Tian? Please continue to pay attention to the next chapter "Flying out of the valley".
