Chapter 258: Body Fusion Kill Move, Three Thousand Thunder Wrath! (Part 1)
Chapter 258: Body Fusion Kill Move, Three Thousand Thunder Wrath! (Part 1)
To be blunt, if it were anyone else as the head of the family, they would have given up long ago. It's just the life of a clan member, not worth such a heavy price for the family, even if it's their own biological daughter. But as the head of the family, the first consideration is always the family's interests.
This is also why the head of the family is the strongest among all past leaders of the White Family. Before his rise, the White Family was just a powerful force in the Heaven-reaching Continent, far from being a top-tier power. It was under his leadership that the White Family became a top-tier force in the Heaven-reaching Continent!
This prestige gave the head of the family absolute authority within the clan.
The kind that was never questioned.
The rapid rise in status also made the clan members' sense of honor soar to unprecedented heights, with everyone's energy focused in one direction. It could be said that if it weren't for this matter, the head of the family would have ambitiously led the entire clan to the Fourth-grade Continent!
In the eyes of the head of the family, he has always looked down upon the Heaven-reaching Continent, not because of its rank, but because he felt that the rank of the Heaven-reaching Continent was too low. Instead, the Heaven-reaching Continent was a polluted continent, capable of producing only one type of Attribute.
That is the Attribute that causes bodily mutations, with almost ninety-nine percent of Attributes belonging to this type.
There was no choice.
Once your cultivation realm breaks through, you must choose, and the Triple Choice Entry for higher realms cannot be skipped. It is also based on this reason that there are basically no normal people on the Heaven-reaching Continent. The higher the cultivation, the more terrifying and unappealing they appear.
Take the head of the family, for example.
If not for the Illusion Stones crafted with a hefty price, it would be unbearable to look at him. He has always yearned for a normal body, and his greatest dream is to go to the Fourth-grade Continent, change all the Attributes on his body, and accept a significant drop in strength.
He also carries Illusion Stones on his body.
The reason he could become the protector of the young miss with just Great Enlightenment Early-stage cultivation is mainly due to one Attribute he possesses.
-
Attribute Name: Swarm Effect
Attribute Level: Green
Attribute Effect: Your extra organs will mutate, possessing mysterious and unpredictable power. The specific power depends on the number of extra organs.
-
This Attribute allows him to exert formidable combat strength despite only being at the Great Enlightenment Early-stage, which is why the head of the family trusted him as the protector.
As for the young miss, she doesn't have any Attributes related to bodily mutations. The White Family has the means to remove Attributes, and at the young miss's request, all Attributes gained from breakthrough realms have been removed, resulting in significantly lower combat strength but at least maintaining a normal body.
There are hardly any situations where the young miss needs to fight personally, and even with lower strength, it's not a big deal. The young miss is one of the few in the White Family, and even in the entire Heaven-reaching Continent, who can maintain a normal body at such a high cultivation level.
As for the White Family, one of their primary sources of income is helping others remove Attributes. About thirty percent of these clients are women from other forces, and these normal-bodied women are usually intended for marriage alliances.
"Grandpa."
The young lady leaned against the old man, her eyes slightly red, and her voice quivered with tears as she spoke, "Let's go home, I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Sigh."
The old man didn't speak but gently stroked the young lady's hair in his arms with a helpless look.
He was already old, with only about a hundred years of lifespan left. In his youth, he had spent a lot of his lifespan to enhance his combat strength, and now he had very little left.
In the past, he felt sad, thinking that he would die too soon and couldn't stay with the young miss for long.
Now it seems.
He should be able to live longer than the young miss and die after her.
There's no way to go back, after all, with the young miss's Immortal Cancer, returning would only hasten her death. He understands the young miss's feelings very well. There aren't many normal people in the Heaven-reaching Continent, and not everyone can afford Illusion Stones.
On the streets, it's truly a gathering of demons and monsters, no exaggeration.
After arriving in the Vast Continent, normal people are everywhere, and the young miss sees everyone with kindness.
In fact, the young miss knew that the dryad had ulterior motives from the first time they met. It was obvious that she approached the young miss because of her extraordinary clothing, and he had sought permission from the head of the family, who told him not to worry about it. After learning about the young miss's illness, the head of the family became extremely indulgent towards her.
The resources given to the dryad were not worth mentioning for the White Family, except for the somewhat valuable Land of Eternal Life.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
The old man shook his head and smiled, "You've always liked listening to stories about Chen Qiu, haven't you? Yesterday, I heard a bit more about Chen Qiu's story. Do you want to hear it?"
As his words fell, the young miss, who had just been teary-eyed, immediately lit up. She sat upright on a small stool beside him, full of anticipation, "I want to hear it. This time, don't try to fool me with stories you've told before. I want to hear something new."
"Okay, okay."
The old man cleared his throat helplessly and continued, "This story I heard is about Chen Qiu in the Profound Heaven Continent. It took a lot of effort to find out about this story, through various means, including a person who specializes in eating evil clan members. It's not easy to find out about this, you know."
"Alright, Grandpa, I know you've worked hard. Let's get to the main point."
"Alright."
The old man lightly sighed and then, with a doting gesture, caressed the young lady's head, "At that time, Chen Qiu's cultivation was only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, but it is said that he had already reached the Twelfth Rank Golden Core and possessed the ability to kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Dao Edict did not sound."
"According to rumors, in addition to the First-grade Continent, there might be a Rankless Continent, and Chen Qiu climbed out from there. But no one has ever asked Chen Qiu about this in person, and no one can confirm this news."
"At that time, Chen Qiu was full of vigor and vitality, exuding the aura of a heavenly prodigy in his every move. But in Quzhou, when facing the Evil Province, he encountered a major setback."
"On that day—"
"After defeating several Golden Core Realm geniuses from the Evil Province, several Primordial Soul cultivators from Quzhou shamelessly launched a sneak attack..."
The old man's voice echoed within the small world, and the young lady listened intently by his side.
Chen Qiu was indeed an extraordinary figure.
Even in the Heaven-reaching Continent, there was no one like him, let alone a normal-bodied heavenly prodigy. For the young miss who had yet to leave her room, he was indeed a fatal attraction.
Such a person would not stay in the Vast Continent forever; he would definitely go to the Heaven-reaching Continent.
He was considering whether to suggest that after the State Continent Constraint is lifted, he should capture Chen Qiu alive with his Great Enlightenment Early-stage cultivation. This way, Chen Qiu could accompany the young mistress for a while, allowing her to have some happiness before her death.
However, the risk was too great. Although he possessed Great Enlightenment cultivation, dealing with a newly Body Integration existence should be effortless. But this monstrous talent couldn't be described by common sense, especially when his strength was suppressed by the continent's rank. He genuinely lacked confidence.
Moreover, it would create a mortal enemy with Chen Qiu, unnecessarily burdening the family with a formidable foe that required immediate and full attention. The family already had enough on their plate; they couldn't spare resources for other matters.
But if the hard approach didn't work, could he try a softer one?
A top-tier force from a Third Rank Continent's young mistress was proactively seeking friendship. Could Chen Qiu really not give her a little face?
The elder vividly narrated Chen Qiu's stories in Quzhou, all the while gazing at the golden thread on his sleeve and pondering in his heart.
The white robe adorned with golden threads was a unique style of the White Family. Throughout the Heaven-reaching Continent, anyone who saw this attire knew not to provoke the wearer, lest they face mortal danger.
However, in the Vast Continent, no one could recognize this outfit.
Naturally, the White Family wore white.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by. Chen Qiu had slept for three full days in the Celestial Palace, doing nothing but sleep.
He had essentially made up for all the sleep he had missed during those days.
His injuries were also healing rapidly.
On this day, Chen Qiu sat up on the bed, stretched his body contentedly, and then opened the Celestial Palace's main gate. He couldn't sleep any longer; it was time to get up and work. If he continued sleeping, his two time-limited Multicolored Attributes would expire.
But it must be said that on the road to seeking immortality, where tension was constant, occasionally taking a few days to rest without a care was quite comfortable. It seemed that getting injured was necessary, as without injuries, there would be no reason to rest and recover, and he would feel a tinge of guilt for slacking off.
After being injured, that guilt disappeared.
The moment the Celestial Palace's gate opened, Chen Qiu saw Fat Dragon standing at the entrance.
"Qiu Ge," Fat Dragon said helplessly, "Did you forget what you said a few days ago about giving instructions to Bear Gao the next day?"
"I didn't forget," Chen Qiu replied. "I just can't move much while recovering these days."
Chen Qiu pouted and waved his hand, indicating for Bear Gao, who was standing obediently to the side, to come in. Then, he sat on the long-missed Heaven Sovereign Throne, took out a jade slip from his chest, and said softly, "From now on, I'll speak, and you'll remember. Remember everything I say, and remind me from time to time, understand?"
"Understood," Bear Gao replied respectfully. Today, he wasn't wearing a monk's robe but a long robe specially made for him by Fat Dragon. It was pure white with golden threads on the cuffs and a "Qiu" character on the chest.
The Mock Heaven Sect's chest character was "Mock," but since Bear Gao wasn't responsible for any Mock Heaven Sect matters, this character was changed to "Qiu."
A brown bear, which looked completely incompatible with obedience, wore a white robe, giving off a scholarly yet degenerate vibe. His furry bear paws were exposed, making him look rather cute.
Bear Gao was taller than Chen Qiu when standing upright, and his body was quite robust.
It was unclear if it was due to a bad back, but he never stood up straight.
"Mhm," Chen Qiu nodded, his expression neutral as he began to speak.
"First, I need to send a Formation Cultivator genius to the Great Xia Kingdom's Old Man Cao. However, I can't break the mini-world's restrictions with my current strength. Remind me about this later."
"Second, find some maids these days to take care of the Mock Heaven Sect's and my daily needs. They should be good-looking. It doesn't matter for the Mock Heaven Sect's disciples, but I have high standards for maids. They should be beautiful, virgins, and tall. Just find me maids according to your criteria for a wife, and cultivation doesn't matter."
"Third, find some disciples for the Shopkeeper who can break restrictions."
"Fourth, remind me to bring Liu Zide and the others back."
His voice suddenly stopped.
He stood silently, expressionless, wondering if he had forgotten about Liu Zide and the others again. They had been in the Lower Continent for almost two months. He quickly spoke again, "You don't need to remember this. I'll handle it myself later."
"The fifth thing is..."
After eloquently instructing over a dozen matters, Chen Qiu turned to Bear Gao and smiled, "Did you remember everything?"
"Yes, I did," Bear Gao nodded respectfully.
"Mhm."
Chen Qiu waved his hand lazily and leaned back on the Heaven Sovereign Throne. "These days, you can move freely. I'll leave the task of finding maids to you. Run as many errands as you can, but don't force anyone. We must uphold morality and consent."
"Take this opportunity to interact more with everyone. It'll make coordination easier later."
"Yes."
Bear Gao took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous, and slowly retreated to the Celestial Palace's entrance before turning to leave.
Chen Qiu sat on the Heaven Sovereign Throne, supporting his chin with one hand and gazing at the clouds outside for a while. Then, he prepared to bring Liu Zide and the others back. He had almost spent all his spirit stones during this time, and his cultivation resources were running low.
He needed to cultivate quickly. Before the Sole King Contention, he had to raise his cultivation level to make the most of the time-limited Multicolored Attribute, "Fortune Awaits."
Of course—
Before that, there was something even more important! That was learning the Body Integration Kill Move! He had discussed this with the Heavenly Axe Sect Leader, and there was only one way to obtain a Body Integration Kill Move. It was automatically acquired upon breaking through to Body Integration, without the need for sect inheritance or special opportunities. As long as one's cultivation broke through, the Kill Move would be obtained.
Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the panel above his Dantian, which naturally appeared, enveloped in clouds, after he broke through to Body Integration. It would never disappear until he made a choice.
-
"Cultivation has greatly increased, officially entering the first layer of Body Integration."
"Please choose from the ten Body Integration Kill Moves below."
1:
"Kill Move Name": Thunder Traverse.
"Basic Spell": Thunder Summoning Art.
"Kill Move Effect": By stepping on electricity and hearing thunder, this Kill Move will greatly increase your speed, making you unstoppable.
2:
"Kill Move Name": Thunderproof.
"Basic Spell": Thunder Summoning Art.
"Kill Move Effect": Possesses an extremely strong defense, especially against thunder-based spells, including heavenly tribulations.
