Chapter 3: Chaos Body
Chapter 3: Chaos Body
Bamboo House
Xiao Huoli sighed softly as she looked at her Master, who looked so concerned about the young man. It's been six months, but the young man still hadn't regained consciousness, and during these six months, her Master still hadn't explained anything about the young man.
"Can you explain it to me, Master? Why did you decide to make this mortal as your sole successor?" Xiao Huoli seriously asked; since her Master's decision would also affect her, she wanted his definite answer.
The old man looked at Xiao Huoli with a mysterious smile and confidently spoke. "I know you are confused by my decision. But I, Song Tianyi, have already decided to take him as my successor. Although he is only mortal at the moment, if you help and train him, he will be able to become a great cultivator in the future."
Xiao Huoli raised an eyebrow; she didn't understand why her Master was sure the young man could become a great cultivator. "Come on, Master, don't always make me feel curious! Quickly, tell me the truth about this young man."
"This young man has Divine Profound Veins, but unfortunately, he was born in the Cultivator Forbidden Land, and since there is no Qi in his world, he cannot activate his veins." Song Tianyi explained with a smile. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝘮
Xiao Huoli was dumbfounded at that, then she asked in surprise. "You mean that Cultivator Forbidden Land, Master?"
"Yes. Judging by this young man's clothes, I'm sure he came from that place." Song Tianyi answered as he nodded. "Besides, he has Divine Profound Veins; he also has Chaos Body, he-"
"What exactly is the Chaos Body?" I've never heard of it before, Master." Xiao Huoli hastily interrupted him, as she knew many exceptional physiques but had never heard of the Chaos Body before.
Song Tianyi smiled at her. "If the Divine Profound Veins allow cultivators to cultivate ten times faster than ordinary cultivators, then the Chaos Body will make one's cultivation ten times slower than other cultivators."
"Isn't that too ridiculous, Master? Doesn't that mean the Chaos Body is a curse for a cultivator?" Xiao Huoli asked in confusion because the two's effects were opposite, one speeding up and one slowing down one's cultivation.
"En, that is indeed true, but you are also wrong." Song Tianyi nodded, then explained it to her. "To other cultivators, the Chaos Body was a curse if they didn't have Divine Profound Veins. But this young man was different in that he has both, which were a godsend to him. With the Chaos Body, he can master all kinds of elements, and his body is also very suitable for receiving various types of bloodlines, but it also has a drawback because training it requires a lot of Yin Qi."
"So you mean he should be a dual cultivator, Master?" Xiao Huoli asked with a nod of understanding because only a dual cultivator who cultivates depends on Yin Qi.
"Dual cultivation is indeed the best path for him, if he is not a dual cultivator, then his cultivation speed will be no different from a normal cultivator, so both will be wasted." Song Tianyi replied as he nodded, then looked back at the still-unconscious young man. "However, if he becomes a dual cultivator, then his cultivation speed will be terrifying, and his cultivation speed will far exceed that of the other owner of the Divine Profound Veins."
"Hmm? Isn't that woman the only cultivator with Divine Profound Veins?' Xiao Huoli spoke in surprise because she knew only that woman had it before; currently, no one knows her fate.
"En, but now she's not the only one because this young man also has one." Song Tianyi said with a chuckle. "If he were to become a dual cultivator, he would be even stronger than her."
Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding, and she also looked at the young man who was still unconscious with a complicated look, for she already knew what would happen next if Song Tianyi did decide to take him as his sole successor.
"Would you like to hear my final request, Huoli?" Song Tianyi asked as he lifted Xiao Huoli into his lap and gently stroked her head. Xiao Huoli only nodded weakly. "I will use the last power of my soul to pass all my inheritance to him and fuse your soul with him; that way, you can guide him in the future. Are you willing to do so?"
"But... But Master, if you do that, your soul will vanish forever, and you won't be able to reincarnate again." Xiao Huoli said sadly because it meant she would not be able to meet Song Tianyi again, or rather, his reincarnation.
"What are you saying? We are both aware that I no longer have the chance to be reincarnated because the wounds on my soul during that war were severe, and sooner or later, my soul will vanish forever." Song Tianyin tightly hugged Xiao Huoli, who looked so saddened, as he sighed softly and continued. "This is my last chance to get a successor, and this young man is truly suitable to be my sole successor. I know it is tough for you to part with me, but you must remember that my daughter is still in that man's clutches, so I need a successor to save her. Besides, we also still have to unite with your other sisters. So are you willing to fulfill this old man's last wish?"
"Yes, Master!" With a heavy heart, Xiao Huoli finally agreed to her Master's request.
Song Tianyi smiled at her answer. "Now put your hand on his chest, and I will give all my inheritance to him, so your soul will also fuse with him."
Xiao Huoli could only comply with her Master's request, then placed her hand on the young man's chest. Song Tianyi himself immediately exerted all his soul power, and the three of them began to be enveloped in a white aura.
An hour later, the white aura dimmed, and it soon disappeared completely. But Xiao Huoli's figure was nowhere to be seen, and Song Tianyi's soul began to fade.
"Master!" Xiao Huoli suddenly emerged from within the young man's body and embraced Song Tianyi's soul.
"I leave the final process of my inheritance for him to you, and don't forget to give this storage ring to him, for this is also my identity." Song Tianyi rubbed Xiao Huoli's forehead for a moment, then he handed her the storage ring and hugged her tightly. "It's time for us to part, Xiao Huoli. It's been a thousand years, and I can finally leave this world with relief."
After that, Song Tianyi's soul disappeared forever, and he could never be reincarnated. Xiao Huoli slumped to the ground, crying as hard as she could.
After crying for a long time, Xiao Huoli immediately got up from the ground and placed Song Tianyi's storage ring on the young man's ring finger. Then she slashed his finger slightly and dripped his blood onto the storage ring as she muttered. "I hope you will not disappoint my Master's expectations of you, or I will never forgive you."
