Dominator Emperor

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Purity Immortal Body (Part 1)

Li Shuangyan shot him a look. That single expression gave her normally frosty demeanor a touch of flirtatious charm and a healthy dose of playful coyness. Already a city-toppling beauty, this look was enough to captivate one’s very heart and soul.

Such beauty and charm were savored by Li Qiye alone. He simply smiled at Li Shuangyan’s defiance and said, "The War God Hall does indeed have some deep foundations and a fair bit of pride. For them, the Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill is a decent Body Technique. For the cultivators of the world, it is an incredible Holy Body Technique."

"However, to me, it is nothing more than an ordinary Body Technique, not even worth mentioning," Li Qiye said with a graceful and leisurely smile.

Li Shuangyan stared intently at Li Qiye. "So you’re saying you have a Body Technique superior to the Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill?" She already knew he cultivated the Prison Suppressing Divine Body, which meant he possessed its corresponding Immortal Body Technique.

However, she was born with the Biqing Body. Her physique was completely different from the Prison Suppressing Divine Body. Even if Li Qiye taught her the Immortal Body Technique for the Prison Suppressing Divine Body, it would be useless to her.

The Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill she currently cultivated was considered the apex Holy Body Technique for physiques like the Yuqing Body. In this world, short of a corresponding Immortal Body Technique, finding another Body Technique that surpassed the Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill would be nigh impossible. The only other possibility would be a true Immortal Technique.

For Li Qiye to dismiss the Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill so easily meant he possessed an Immortal Body Technique for her type of physique. Li Shuangyan had speculated about this before, but Li Qiye had now all but admitted it, which sent a tremor through her heart.

What did it mean for a single person to possess two different Immortal Body Techniques for two different physiques? Across the entire Human Emperor Realm, or even the whole Nine Realms, you could probably count the number of Sect Inheritances, even Emperor Immortal Gates, that possessed two Immortal Body Techniques on one hand—there might not even be more than two!

And yet, Li Qiye himself possessed two Immortal Body Techniques. How shocking was that? Of course, if Li Shuangyan knew that he possessed the Body Book, she would be too shocked to even speak. The Body Book was the origin of all physique techniques; one could say that all the Body Techniques of the Ten Thousand Races of Heaven and Earth originated from this book.

"You’re not too stupid," Li Qiye said with a smile. "I called you in here today precisely to pass on a Body Technique’s True Technique to you!"

"Pass on a Body Technique’s True Technique to me?" Li Shuangyan’s heart trembled. She looked at the young man before her in disbelief.

Li Qiye straightened his posture and said, "Before I pass on the True Technique, I must make a few things clear to you."

Li Shuangyan had been by Li Qiye’s side for almost a year. While very few things could stir his emotions, even fewer could make him this solemn. This caused Li Shuangyan’s heart to tense up.

"If you accept this True Technique from me, you must do several things. First, you must swear on your True Destiny never to pass it on to a second person, not even your closest relatives, unless you have my permission. Second, you must not betray me or become my enemy, or you will bear the consequences. Third, you are not to speak of this matter to anyone, not even your master, the Sun Demon Emperor!" Li Qiye said slowly, his expression utterly solemn and his face grave.

Seeing Li Qiye’s incredibly solemn and grave demeanor made Li Shuangyan’s heart clench. At this moment, her sharp mind had already faintly guessed something.

Li Qiye continued slowly, "You must remember, if you pass this technique to another, I will not only cut you down with my own hands, but I will also annihilate any sect or clan that obtains it! This technique, unless I permit it, must never be spread. Even if an Immortal Emperor protects them in the future, I will keep my word. Without my permission, anyone who obtains this technique will have their entire clan exterminated!"

This was the first time Li Shuangyan had seen Li Qiye be so serious. She didn’t believe for a second that he was making an arrogant boast. She was certain that he would do exactly as he said!

Li Shuangyan didn’t know the story behind the Body Book. The Body Book had been in Li Qiye’s hands for millions of years. In fact, Mingren Immortal Emperor was far from the only one to have received an Immortal Body Technique from him. Back then, Mingren Immortal Emperor received his teachings, obtaining one of the two Supreme Yang Body Techniques from the character for ’Yang’ within the Body Book, and eventually cultivated it into the Daytime Celestial Body.

And later, Mingren Immortal Emperor never passed down the Immortal Body Technique for the Daytime Celestial Body to the Xiyan Ancient Sect, because that was part of the agreement between him and Li Qiye.

In fact, Mingren Immortal Emperor wasn’t the only Immortal Emperor to obtain an Immortal Body Technique. In the past, several people had made pacts with Li Qiye in their youth, ultimately cultivating an Immortal Body and even becoming Immortal Emperors. However, none of them ever passed the Immortal Body Technique down.

"If you receive my True Technique, you must follow me. You can sign an agreement with me. You can choose to follow me for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or for your entire life. When the agreement expires, you are free to leave! However, you must not become my enemy afterward. If you break the agreement, I don’t need to elaborate on the consequences," Li Qiye said slowly.

At this point, Li Qiye added, "Of course, you can also choose not to cultivate this technique. As long as you follow me, I will bestow something even better than your current Holy Body Technique upon you in the future! The choice is yours."

Li Shuangyan looked at Li Qiye, silent for a long time. Without a doubt, this choice would affect the path of her entire life. As a Heavenly Pride Girl, she could be said to have many choices, but the situation she faced today was different.

"Alright. I am willing." In the end, Li Shuangyan made her choice, her voice deep and resolute. In one breath, she chose to follow him for life. She made her decision cleanly and decisively; she was truly an intelligent person making the greatest choice of her life.

"One day, you will know you made the right choice," Li Qiye nodded gently. "Among the pinnacles of the future, there will always be a place for you."

In the end, Li Shuangyan swore a life oath upon her True Destiny, pledging her loyalty and to follow Li Qiye. After securing Li Shuangyan’s allegiance, Li Qiye smiled and said, "Listen carefully to my next words. I will now pass on the True Technique to you."

Li Shuangyan’s heart skipped a beat. She focused her mind, not daring to be the slightest bit careless, and straightened her posture, ready to listen to Li Qiye’s every word.

Li Shuangyan was born with the Biqing Body, one of the Twenty-four Emperor Bodies. The Biqing Body and the Purified Jade Body were similar types of physiques, both belonging to the Twenty-four Emperor Bodies. Both the Biqing Body and the Purified Jade Body could be cultivated into the Yuqing Body, one of the Eighteen Holy Bodies. And if one had the right Immortal Body Technique, both of these physiques could ultimately be cultivated into the Pure Body, one of the Twelve Immortal Bodies!

However, the Body Technique Li Qiye was passing to her now would allow her to skip the Sacred Body stage and directly cultivate an Immortal Body! As for Sacred Bodies, there were Eighteen Holy Bodies, but the cultivators of the world preferred to call them the Twelve Holy Bodies.

This was because only twelve of the Eighteen Holy Bodies had a corresponding Immortal Body. The other six Holy Bodies were extremely rare; many people didn’t even know what they were!

Li Shuangyan listened to Li Qiye’s teachings with extreme seriousness. She was born with an Emperor Body, an Imperial Wheel, and a Holy Destiny. A talent like hers was a rarity in the current age, an absolute genius among geniuses. For a genius like her, the only limitation was her cultivation techniques and Body Techniques. After all, the Nine Saints Demon Gate was an inheritance that had never produced an Immortal Emperor. For a talent like her, if she could withstand an Emperor Technique, her achievements would be even more incredible.

However, for a cultivator, the Life Wheel and Life Palace could not be changed. They were innate. If one was born with an Imperial Wheel, it would always be an Imperial Wheel; it could not be promoted to a Holy Wheel. Only one’s physique could be advanced to a higher level through cultivation.

For Li Shuangyan, an Emperor Body was far from enough. If she could cultivate an Immortal Body, then she would have a real chance to vie for the apex in the future.

The Body Book contained six characters, and the ultimate expression of each character could give rise to two different Immortal Body Techniques. If Li Shuangyan wanted to cultivate an Immortal Body, she had to cultivate the Pure Body.

The Pure Body originated from the character for ’Purity’. The supreme expression of Purity gave rise to two great Immortal Body Techniques: the Wu Gou Immortal and the Flying Immortal Body!

And now, what Li Qiye was teaching Li Shuangyan was the Immortal Body Technique for the Pure Body—one of the two great techniques of Supreme Purity!

Li Shuangyan’s talent was extraordinary. After Li Qiye recited it only once, she had already memorized the Immortal Body Technique for the Pure Body. The moment she memorized this technique, her heart shook violently. This was the most profound and mysterious Body Technique she had ever encountered. Even a genius like her feared she would be unable to fully comprehend its Mystical Meaning.

Fortunately, Li Qiye then explained the ultimate mysteries of the Pure Body technique for her. Listening to Li Qiye’s explanation was what truly shocked Li Shuangyan.

As a Heavenly Pride Girl with a Holy Destiny Imperial Body, she was definitely one of the top geniuses in the entire Great Middle Realm. When she first heard the Immortal Body Technique for the Pure Body, she feared that even a genius like herself might not be able to fully grasp its ultimate Mystical Meaning even after a hundred years of cultivation. And yet, Li Qiye now explained it all with ease, moving from the simple to the complex, from the shallow to the profound! ’How could he possibly be a fourteen-year-old boy! He’s like a supreme Grandmaster of a generation!’

Of course, Li Shuangyan had no idea that Li Qiye had spent countless eons on the Body Book. He had studied and comprehended the Body Book for over ten million years. In the process, he had absorbed the essence of Immortal Emperors, Human Race Elder Sages, and more. This was naturally something a mere young genius like Li Shuangyan couldn’t possibly compare to.

"I have already explained the Body Technique for you. As for how much you truly comprehend, that will depend on your own cultivation. If you can’t even cultivate the Pure Body after all this, then it can only mean you’re the world’s biggest idiot, and I was wrong about you," Li Qiye said to Li Shuangyan after he finished teaching her.

"When I graft this Body Technique onto the physique I’ve cultivated with the Yuqing Sacred Heart Skill, will there be any flaws?" Li Shuangyan asked after coming back to her senses a good while later.
