Chapter 650 - 263: Innate Saint Daoist Body
Originally, Xu Ran and Little White, one person and one falcon, had been cultivating separately during this time. Xu Binghu wanted to obtain higher tier Demon Blood but could only slay them himself. However, now he had to join the villagers in slaying the Snake Demon, leaving him no time.
But now, Little White directly solved his problem by collecting all the Demon Blood needed for his fourth Body Refining. Once his body reaches its limit, he can proceed with the fourth refining.
"Little White, you’re truly the Xu Family’s lucky star!" Xu Binghu hugged the package as if it were a family heirloom.
Xu Ran smiled and said, "Dad, just take it. It’s a small matter for us!"
Little White can easily slay these Demon Beasts, and naturally, Xu Ran could too. It’s just that he had too many things to handle at the moment and no time. Little White conveniently helped him with this, saving him the time.
Xu Binghu didn’t speak, just stood there with a silly smile on his honest face.
Afterward, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji lingered around Little White for quite some time until someone outside called Xu Binghu to slay the Snake Demon, and he went out. Lian Ji returned to her room to do her own things.
"Little White, you didn’t rest all night. Can you still cultivate in the mountain stream?" Xu Ran asked.
Little White, being a Demon Beast, didn’t have a problem with staying up all night. However, Xu Ran worried that the fortuitous encounter had consumed a lot of energy, which prompted him to inquire.
Little White spread its wings and flapped them a few times swiftly. Endless air currents swirled around, forming an invisible barrier that Xu Ran could see because of his cultivation in the Wind Control Skill.
Seeing this, Xu Ran skillfully leaped onto Little White’s back and headed toward the mountain stream.
...
Time flew by.
A month passed.
It had been one year and five months since Xu Ran came to the Origin Realm.
During this month, Xu Ran experienced daily life, absorbing the morning glow in the courtyard before dawn to cultivate the Immortal Sword Skill, then heading to the mountain stream with Little White to practice the Wind Control Skill, and finally returning home at night to absorb moonlight and condense Innate Qi.
At the moment.
In the mountain stream.
Xu Ran sat calmly in the air amidst the chaotic winds, while a solid invisible barrier rose around him. Countless Wind Blades shot from the depths of the mountain stream, striking this invisible barrier.
"Boom--- Boom--- Boom---"
Several loud collisions echoed in the mountain stream, and with each sound, a burst of firelight could be seen around Xu Ran.
Soon, around Xu Ran, as if flames had ignited, they surrounded the area.
Little White stood outside the mountain stream, enviously watching its master Xu Ran inside.
"The master’s progress is so fast. It’s only been a month, yet he can walk freely in the mountain stream without being affected by the Wind Blades shot from the depths!"
In this month, Little White, being a raptor bearing the Kunpeng Bloodline after absorbing Blood Kunpeng Grass, still couldn’t come and go as freely in the mountain stream as Xu Ran.
Its longest record was staying in the stream for a day, exhausting all its energy, leaving no strength for training the next day. This clearly showed how terrifying Xu Ran’s current physique and mastery of Wind Control Skill were.
Within the flames.
The invisible barrier around Xu Ran, under his control, slowly dissipated. The Wind Blades shot from the depths of the mountain stream, without obstruction, directly attacked Xu Ran’s body.
"Clang clang clang---"
The expected scene of Xu Ran’s body being cut did not appear. Instead, several sounds akin to metal clangs were heard.
Looking around, one could see a faint golden light enveloping Xu Ran’s entire body.
"Heugh---"
Xu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, and an aura of majesty spread out, directly destroying the Wind Blades shooting from the depths of the mountain stream.
"I did it! I did it!" Xu Ran’s exclamation echoed in the mountain stream, and meanwhile, the rampant chaotic wind in the stream also calmed down.
Xu Ran glanced into the depths of the mountain stream and said calmly, "Thank you!"
Then, he clenched his fist, and a surge of Innate Qi emitted from it.
"That’s the release of Innate Qi!!"
Little White, who had been watching Xu Ran, exclaimed in its heart.
Innate Qi, being a material existing since the opening of the heavens and the earth, not only provides absolute advantages for cultivation but also utterly dominates in combat.
No matter what kind of substance it may be, it must submit to Innate Qi.
Originally, having Innate Qi stored within the body was exceedingly rare. For ordinary people, even a wisp of Innate Qi would be cherished, kept within the body for eternity, never to dissipate.
Yet, Master Xu Ran directly emitted his Innate Qi to confront enemies. How extravagant is that!
If those knowledgeable about Innate Qi were to find out, they might come and curse him for being wasteful!!
But Xu Ran didn’t care at all about the Innate Qi leaking out, because over the past month, resisting the Wind Blades shooting from deep in the mountain stream had caused the Innate Qi within his body to surge, ultimately condensing into a physique exclusive to Innate Qi — the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body.
At the same time, Little White recognized Xu Ran’s current physique.
"The Innate Saint’s Sacred Body!" Little White continually shouted in its heart. If it could speak, the entire Great Mountain would echo with its exclamations.
In the Blood Kunpeng Grass it absorbed, there were many ancient secrets, but they would only be revealed when encountered, unraveling the secrets within the bloodline.
This time, Little White witnessed the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, one of the most ancient physiques recorded in the Kunpeng Bloodline.
Back then, as the heavens and earth first opened, innumerable Innate Qi spread across the land. The Innate Saint’s Sacred Body was a physique awakened only by absorbing the initial strand of Innate Qi from that primordial time.
Upon awakening the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, the entire human body acts like an Innate Qi generator, continuously producing Innate Qi. With increased cultivation, the speed of generating Innate Qi accelerates!
According to the Kunpeng Bloodline’s records, since the heavens and earth opened, only three individuals have awakened the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body.
Without exception, each became a master of Great Power!
Little White watched its master Xu Ran with excited eyes.
Who would have thought its master could awaken this legendary physique?
Meanwhile, Xu Ran maintained a calm expression, as if everything was naturally expected.
"This mountain stream may be strange, but it truly is a great place for accelerating the formation of my Innate Saint’s Sacred Body!"
This was also why Xu Ran had expressed gratitude just moments ago.
Intently sensing, Xu Ran gained a clear understanding of his body.
"Currently, my body can produce about ten thousand strands of Innate Qi every month!!"
When he said this, Xu Ran’s tone laced with excitement!
Generating ten thousand strands of Innate Qi per month — it’s essential to know that previously, Innate Qi’s generation speed was little over a hundred strands per month. Xu Ran had exhausted all the Innate Qi since his emergence just to barely form a sword hilt for the Immortal Sword Skill!
Now, with the emergence of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, within about a month, a whole sword would nearly be condensed!!
In due time, the Immortal Sword Skill will soon reach Great Success and will quickly enter that mysterious inheritance.
At this thought, Xu Ran’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
How many treasures does that inheritance with such a restriction hold?
With the treasures from that inheritance, overcoming the Snake King Awakening event would be almost certain.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran waved his hands, releasing wisps of Innate Qi from his body.
Seeing this, Little White immediately came to his side and absorbed all the overflowing Innate Qi.
Xu Ran, seeing this, said, "The newly awakened physique is not yet fully mastered, and soon it won’t overflow!"
Immediately after saying this, Xu Ran looked at Little White with fiery determination.
"Little White, how about we spar a little?"
