Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Activation

"Taiyin Sacred Body!"

"Martial Emperor’s Form!!"

"One unit of Holy Soul!"

Shu Feng looked at Xiaozhu’s constitution, and a flash of envy couldn’t help but cross his eyes.

Holy Soul was a type of Soul Power that only a Spirit Saint Realm Powerhouse could possess. This meant that when Xiaozhu advanced to the Martial Saint realm in the future, it would be a hundred times easier for her than for anyone else.

The Taiyin Sacred Body was a legendary constitution in the Black Tortoise Realm. Those with this body possessed an incredibly terrifying talent for cultivating Yin Attribute Martial Arts. Once a powerhouse with a Taiyin Sacred Body appeared, they were terrifying, invincible existences among their peers.

Shu Feng’s body had opened 365 meridians, giving him a terrifying cultivation speed. Even so, his constitution was far inferior to the legendary Taiyin Sacred Body.

Shu Feng pondered for a moment before saying decisively, "Let her evolve!!"

If Xiaozhu could become a peerless powerhouse, it would be of great benefit to Shu Feng. Not only could he fulfill Han Feng’s wish, but he would also gain a powerful ally instead of a burden.

Countless streams of mucus shot out from the Energy Evolution Tower, enveloping Xiaozhu and forming a large, transparent egg.

An immense amount of Source Energy was continuously channeled through numerous tubes and into the transparent egg.

A mysterious and unpredictable Taiyin Seal, etched with strange patterns, surfaced on Xiaozhu’s forehead.

The moment the Taiyin Seal appeared, a terrifying suction force erupted from Xiaozhu’s small body, crazily absorbing the powerful Source Energy.

The corners of Shu Feng’s mouth lifted into a slight smile. ’A Taiyin Sacred Body, reduced to begging for food. It’s true that a fine steed is easy to find, but a master who can recognize one is rare! How lucky for her to have met a connoisseur like me.’

「One day later.」

CRACK!

With a crisp sound, the large egg in the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest cracked open. A Lifebound Gu with locust-like legs, a sharp mouthpiece, and razor-sharp arm-blades leaped out, landing in Shu Feng’s hand and letting out a strange chirp.

"Mutated Lifebound Gu!"

"Talent Ability: Mutant Evolution."

"Special Abilities: Profound Qi Transformation, Sword Aura Enhancement."

"Power 25, agility 67, Defense 15, Constitution 14, Intelligence 1, Spirit 30."

"Soul Power 20."

"Ability Description: Mutant Evolution. The Mutated Lifebound Gu can evolve into different types of Lifebound Gu depending on the host’s chosen cultivation path."

"Profound Qi Transformation. The Mutated Lifebound Gu can help the host absorb the power from hard-to-digest food and medicinal pills, transforming it into exceptionally pure Profound Qi."

"Sword Aura Enhancement. The Mutated Lifebound Gu can make the host’s Sword Aura sharper and faster."

Shu Feng stared at the Lifebound Gu in his hand, lost in thought. ’Not bad! The second ability of this Mutated Lifebound Gu is useless to me now, but it might be incredibly useful in the future.’

Shu Feng’s physical constitution was even more formidable than that of a Void Demon Clan’s Spirit Saint. Coupled with the 365 Spiritual Meridians he had opened and his vast amount of Divinity, his cultivation speed was astonishing.

An ordinary Martial Master would find it difficult to fully convert the food they ate each day into Profound Qi during cultivation. For Shu Feng, however, this was not a problem at all.

Shu Feng’s biggest problem right now was the lack of sufficient medicinal pills. Otherwise, he could advance all the way to the Martial Venerable Realm without any bottlenecks. His physical constitution and soul were simply too powerful, and with his ultra-high intelligence, his corresponding comprehension was also terrifyingly brilliant. Cultivating the *Gu Demon Technique* couldn’t be easier for him.

Shu Feng mused, ’According to the records in the *Gu Demon Technique*, all Lifebound Gu possess the two abilities of Mutant Evolution and Profound Qi Transformation. Sword Aura Enhancement must be the unique special ability of this particular Mutated Lifebound Gu.’

Shu Feng cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Mutated Lifebound Gu.

As soon as the Mutated Lifebound Gu absorbed the drop of Shu Feng’s blood, it re-established its mysterious connection with him. It let out a cheerful cry and lunged toward his face.

Shu Feng opened his mouth, and the Mutated Lifebound Gu dove into his stomach, quickly reaching his Dantian and settling into a quiet dormancy.

CRACK!!

One of the large eggs in the Energy Evolution Tower cracked open, and Xiaozhu stumbled out, falling into Shu Feng’s arms.

’She’s become even more beautiful than before!!’

Shu Feng glanced at Xiaozhu and saw that her hair had turned a glossy, beautiful black. The scars on her face had completely vanished, and her skin had become smooth and radiant, faintly exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Xiaozhu!"

"Taiyin Sacred Body (Inactive)."

"Talent, Martial Emperor’s Form."

"Power 15 (+10), agility 17 (+10), Defense 15 (+10), Constitution 14 (+10), Intelligence 302 (+200), Spirit 220 (+100)."

"Charm 115 (+100), Soul Power 1 Holy Soul."

Shu Feng asked curiously, "It took 200,000 Source Energy just to activate one talent for her. The cost is really huge! What are the requirements to activate her Taiyin Sacred Body?"

"Activating the Basic Stage of the Taiyin Sacred Body requires 300,000 Source Energy. Reaching the Minor Achievement stage requires 3,000,000 Source Energy. Reaching the Great Success stage requires 30,000,000 Source Energy."

"The reason for such a high Source Energy cost is that Xiaozhu’s physical constitution is not strong enough. It is recommended that the host allow her to cultivate on her own to improve her physical constitution, which will also reduce the cost of activating the Taiyin Sacred Body."

A line of information appeared from the Central Analyzer.

A powerhouse who had achieved Great Success with their Taiyin Sacred Body could easily suppress a Martial Saint and was considered a legend of the Martial Dao in the Black Tortoise Realm. From ancient times to the present, the number of powerhouses in the Black Tortoise Realm who had reached Great Success with the Taiyin Sacred Body could be counted on one hand. Every single one of them was invincible among their peers and swept across the entire realm upon their debut.

Before this, Xiaozhu was just an ordinary girl. For her to evolve into an existence comparable to a Martial Saint in a single step, the cost was naturally going to be terrifying.

’I’d better let her cultivate on her own, then! With a super talent like Martial Emperor’s Form, I’m really looking forward to seeing how fast she can cultivate.’

Shu Feng made his decision without hesitation. ’Thirty million Source Energy! If I had that much, I could just hole up on Blue Star and advance to the Spirit Saint realm.’

「The next morning.」

Xiaozhu opened her eyes and felt a sense of comfort throughout her entire body, as if the world had become more vibrant.

"Xiaozhu, you’re awake. I used a lot of precious resources to completely heal your injuries. You can speak now. Also, starting today, I’m going to teach you various Martial Arts! You must study hard and not disappoint my expectations!"

When Xiaozhu came into the living room, Shu Feng led her to the dining table.

"Okay! Brother Feng!"

As Xiaozhu spoke, a somewhat childish voice emerged.

After breakfast, Shu Feng taught Xiaozhu the *Opening Profound Skill*.

In just half an hour, Xiaozhu had comprehended the *Opening Profound Skill* and successfully condensed her first wisp of Profound Qi.

Over the next ten days, Xiaozhu easily mastered the Fourth Layer of the *Opening Profound Skill* and advanced to become a Martial Artist in one fell swoop.
