Chapter 118 - Supreme Physiques

"In the long history of the Primordial God Realm, there are countless earth-shaking geniuses with supreme talents whose names shook the entire cultivation world, and most of these great geniuses had something in common; they possess supreme physiques." Jiu Shen sat down and started talking after seeing their earnest looks.

"These supreme physiques are naturally endowed to them by the heavens and it is something that they were born with. There are three levels of supreme physiques known since the ancient times; the Divine Physique, the Saint Physique, and the Immortal Physique. The difference between the three physiques isn't noteworthy during the earlier levels of cultivation, but once one reaches the Nascent God Realm, the gulf between them will only continue to increase." Jiu Shen added and stopped for a moment to allow his two disciples to absorb his words.

Lu Sulan and Can Ye were both astounded by Jiu Shen's words. They finally realized that they were just like frogs at the bottom of a well; they could only see the same sky no matter how they look above, not knowing that the sky they were seeing was merely a tiny portion of what was not revealed to them. Now, after hearing Jiu Shen explain about the supreme physiques, they felt as if they had opened the first page of a new book, truly a marvel!

"Master, are these supreme physiques common in the Primordial God Realm?" Can Ye asked promptly. He felt that the place where Jiu Shen came was definitely a hundred more times better than the Profound Dragon Continent or even the whole of Nuar.

Lu Sulan was similarly curious, so she glanced at Jiu Shen and waited for him to speak.

Jiu Shen was amused at this question, but he couldn't blame them either since they weren't inhabitants of the Primordial God Realm. "Although the Primordial God realm is thousands of times larger than Nuar, the number of geniuses that have supreme physiques are still very rare, so if someone was born with such physique, countless strong powers will immediately contend in order to take them as disciples for their sects or clans." Jiu Shen answered.

Can Ye and Lu Sulan's expressions were painted with disbelief when they heard Jiu Shen's reply.

"Among one million cultivators, there is only one that has a Divine Physique, and among one billion cultivators, there is one that has a Saint Physique. As for those with Immortal Physiques, geniuses like them are so hard to come by, but most of them are the ones that stand at the very top of the cultivation hierarchy." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice, but his words shook the hearts of his two disciples.

"Master, this Primordial God Realm that you speak of, how can one go to that place? I want to see for myself the geniuses with supreme physiques!" Lu Sulan was like an excited young girl who had found herself a new toy, causing even the usually stern Jiu Shen to smile.

"The Primordial God Realm isn't a peaceful place. Death, infamy, and chaos is a common occurrence in there. In that place, only the strong have the right to speak while the weak can only live a life of humiliation or mediocrity. So if you want to go there, cultivate hard and I will bring you both to meet countless geniuses of your generation." Jiu Shen's reply caused his two disciples to become gloomy. Just hearing about how treacherous of a world the Primordial God Realm already made them turn pale, but their eyes burned with determination after hearing his last sentence.

"Master, how is this related to our future?" Can Ye asked with a perplexed look.

Jiu Shen smiled at them and replied. "The both of you have supreme physiques..."

Bang

Lu Sulan wasn't surprised about this since Jiu Shen had already told her about her supreme physique, but Can Ye's heart quivered at his master's words.

I have a supreme physique? Then, does that mean I am a genius as well?

Can Ye thought to himself as excitement covered his face.

"You two have supreme physiques, but you weren't able to maximize your true potentials since you didn't know anything about it. Especially you, Sulan. You almost destroyed your own life since you cultivated a technique that greatly opposes the element of your supreme physique. If not for my abrupt visit, then only death awaited you in less than a few years. As for Can Ye, your case is just too pitiful. You have great natural talent, but because of your humble background, you weren't able to use your advantage from the very beginning. Such a pity." Jiu Shen's words was like a bucket of cold water, making Lu Sulan and Can Ye incredibly dejected and sad.

"Master, is that why you made the Chaotic Iceflame Formula for me?" Lu Sulan asked as a flash of understanding dawned on her beautiful face.

"That's right. As a disciple of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect, you cultivated many ice type cultivation techniques. This might have been great to someone else, but this was a foolish move for you. Sulan, you have the very rare Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body which is of the fire element, but you have cultivated a technique with an opposing element. This was why you were experiencing occasional pain and discomfort when you start cultivating. Later, I will concoct the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill for you since we already have the primary ingredient. With the help of that pill, your Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body will surely awaken, but since you're now cultivating both the ice and fire elements, we have to nourish your supreme physique with ice type treasures as well. With that, your cultivation speed will increase exponentially. However, we don't have any ice type treasures yet, so you only have to consolidate your strength for now." Jiu Shen replied patiently. He didn't tell her that he can upgrade her supreme physique to become an Immortal Physique since it was still too early for that. Furthermore, they needed to gather the necessary treasures in order to nourish that kind of heaven-defying physique.

"Master, how about me? What kind of supreme physique do I have?" Can Ye asked with an expectant look on his face.

Jiu Shen glanced at him and said in a calm voice. "Can Ye, you have the Peerless Saber Divine Body. Although it's a bit weaker than your senior sister's supreme physique, your Peerless Saber Divine Body is much easier to cultivate. You don't need as many resources as your senior sister, and all you need to do is comprehend the way of the saber..." Jiu Shen explained to him, which made the middle-aged Can Ye to look like a young man in his teens from the sheer excitement in his expression.

Lu Sulan and Can Ye asked more questions to their master who then immediately answered them. He didn't skimp on every detail and told them everything that he knew. Of course, he didn't tell them that he had once died and he also kept his enmity with Celestial Emperor Lao Gou to himself. He didn't want them to feel unnecessary pressure since it was still too early for them to know some things.

"As of now, Elyk should have already gathered the one hundred people that I asked from him. By tomorrow, they should be here..." Jiu Shen muttered in his heart.
