Chapter 39: Liu Yuer Awakens the Sacred Body

Chapter 39: Liu Yuer Awakens the Sacred Body "When are you planning to leave the mountain?" Chu Feng asked, fully in support of his disciple going down the mountain. After all, only when his disciples made a name for themselves would others come seeking him as a master. Only then could Chu Feng gain more cultivation. "Seven days from now." Xiao Chen explained, "Junior Sister Liu has entered seclusion. I’ll say farewell to her after she comes out, then take a mission to train in Great Liang." "Good, it’s just as they say—‘return in glory.’ You’re already the number one prodigy among the younger generation of Wendao Institution. Time to go back and show off a little." Chu Feng spoke solemn nonsense. “???” Xiao Chen looked confused. He understood the first part, but the last half... not so much. Was Master encouraging him to go back and boast? "Your disciple will never disgrace Master’s name. I’ll let the world know of Master’s greatness." "Good, good. I won’t be seeing you off then. Just remember one thing while you’re out there." Chu Feng’s expression turned serious. "Act with steadiness. If you don’t strike, fine—but when you do, you must defeat every opponent. Otherwise, it’ll affect your sword heart." He originally wanted to say “fight if you can, run if you can’t,” but Xiao Chen was walking the path of invincibility. That kind of mindset didn’t suit his personality. Xiao Chen nodded. "Disciple will remember Master’s advice." Chu Feng smiled. "Alright then, go make your preparations. I’ll be figuring out what to eat for lunch." "......" Xiao Chen didn’t know how to respond to that. ——— Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Today, the entire Wendao Institution was bustling. Disciples from the Sword Dao Courtyard had heard that one of the “Three Beauties of the Outer Courtyard,” Liu Yuer, was about to emerge from seclusion and break through to the True Fate Realm. Many gathered outside her cultivation chamber to wait. Even the Body Cultivation Institute was in an uproar. "It’s been a month!" "That senior brother has been training in the Cold Pool for a whole month! He’s second only to Senior Brother Jin Chang, who trained in the Cold Pool for forty-nine days before breaking through to the True Fate Realm and awakening the Overlord Sacred Body. I wonder what this senior brother’s limit is?" "Let’s go report this good news to the elder. It’ll surely make him happy." "Let’s go together." The Outer Courtyard elder of the Body Cultivation Institute had already caught wind of the news—another training maniac had appeared. Each day, he had his favorite disciples gather updates for him. Today was no different. He waited for them to report in. "Elder Niu! That senior brother is still cultivating in the Cold Pool!" a disciple shouted while running over. "Good! My Body Cultivation Institute is about to produce another genius!" Elder Niu’s joy only grew. He wanted to go see who this disciple was himself. "Have you found out who he is?" Both disciples shook their heads. "Elder, we don’t know who he is. We only know he’s completely bald—not even eyebrows." "Hmm?" A thoughtful look appeared on Elder Niu’s face. He couldn’t recall a disciple in the Body Cultivation Institute like that. Could he be from another institute? But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, only the Body Cultivation Institute produced such madmen. Another disciple spoke up, "Elder Niu, maybe it’s someone whose hair fell out during body refining—that’s why we don’t recognize him?" "You have a point. From today on, keep observing him. After forty-nine days, we’ll go see who this kid is." Elder Niu’s eyes crinkled into slits with joy. If that kid awakened a Sacred Body, he’d definitely be rewarded by the Inner Courtyard. His own position might even get a little boost. "Yes, Elder!" ...... In the Sword Dao Courtyard— Disciples quietly waited for Liu Yuer to emerge from seclusion. Just then, a burst of excitement rippled through the crowd. "Senior Brother Xiao is here!" "Where? Where is Senior Brother Xiao?" "......" Although Xiao Chen was no longer a disciple of the Sword Dao Institute, after awakening his Divine Body, he had long become an idol to all the outer disciples. Many had even gone to seek him out, but all were politely refused by Senior Brother Xiao. Still, no one held a grudge. They simply believed their strength wasn’t enough to be worthy of following him. The moment Xiao Chen appeared, the crowd instinctively parted like a tide. He gave a slight nod in greeting as he passed. Then he found a quiet corner and began waiting for Liu Yuer to come out of seclusion. At that moment, the skies above the Sword Dao Institute were shrouded in violet clouds—an omen was manifesting. “This... this is a prelude to Senior Sister Liu awakening a Sacred Body!” “Our Sword Dao Institute is about to give birth to another Sacred Body!” The crowd gasped in awe as a group of elders from the Sword Dao Institute rushed over. A Sacred Body emerging within the Sword Dao Institute was a momentous occasion. Before all the elders had even arrived— The elders of the Heaven Spirit Institute also appeared. With their arrival, the entire side institute became tense. The elders didn’t openly clash in front of the disciples, being figures of high status. But the looks they exchanged were full of sparks and hostility. The Sword Dao Institute elders quickly stood guard in front of the chamber’s exit— To stop the Heaven Spirit Institute from snatching the disciple. The Heaven Spirit elders, in turn, wore smug, mocking expressions. Above the Heavenly Dao Institute, the Carefree Sword King looked at the Sword Martial King with a half-smile and asked, “What, are you going to block me?” The Sword Martial King replied, “Our Sword Dao Institute has already lost Xiao Chen. We can’t afford to lose another disciple with a Sacred Body.” The Carefree Sword King said, “That’s your Sword Dao Institute’s mistake. What’s it got to do with our Heaven Spirit Institute? You can’t possibly stop a disciple from choosing, can you? Besides, this girl and I are fated.” “Hmph!” The Sword Martial King snorted coldly. “Carefree, you shameless old bastard. Every Sacred Body is ‘fated’ with you, is that it?” “If you don’t believe me, just wait till little Yuer comes out and ask her yourself,” the Carefree Sword King said confidently. “She doesn’t even know who you are,” the Sword Martial King grumbled. “I had a Dao companion once—her surname was Liu,” the Carefree Sword King replied with a cheerful grin. Upon hearing that, the Sword Martial King’s face turned ugly. “You lecherous ghost, and you still dare speak so casually?” The Carefree Sword King shrugged. “Can’t help it. My sword’s more graceful than yours.” “......” The Sword Martial King felt like something had just stabbed him in the heart. This old fool really had no shame. Several hours passed. At the entrance of the chamber, a young woman radiating a graceful and elegant aura slowly stepped out. The students gazed at her in awe, unable to help but exclaim, “What kind of Sacred Body has Senior Sister Liu awakened? Why does she look even more beautiful than before?” “The Mysterious Yin Jade Body!” “Liu Yuer has awakened the rare Mysterious Yin Jade Body, a Sacred Body seen only once in a thousand years!” “Our Sword Dao Institute has birthed another prodigy!” Xiao Chen smiled faintly as he heard the cheers around him. Liu Yuer, sensing Xiao Chen’s gaze, returned a charming smile of her own... ==================================================================================== Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
