Chapter 3
The Chaotic Holy Body!
He had actually obtained the strongest body type in the universe!
It was the body type of a great emperor unrivaled in his generation – the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Legend has it that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was invincible all his life. Whatever enemy he encountered, he shoved aside. If a god obstructed his way, he would kill the god. If a Buddha obstructed his way, he would kill the Buddha.
During that period, gods, demons and Buddhas alike, both ancient and modern, were all defeated by him.
Commander of the heavens, and respected by all realms!
That sentence most aptly described the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
He was one of the most powerful great emperors throughout history – the Heavenly Emperor!
And the Chaotic Holy Body remained the number one body type all the way from ancient times to present.
That type of body was said to be unparalleled in the universe. It was naturally able to refine tens of thousands of Daos. With cultivation, it could swiftly break all kinds of records, travel a thousand miles a day, and break the boundaries of various realms. Eventually, the owner could become a god and challenge the throne!
Qin Chen never expected that the footprint in that place had been left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
What was more surprising was that he would no longer have a mortal body, but the legendary Chaotic Holy Body.
While he was still taking all that in, Qin Chen felt an extremely mysterious, clear stream surge into his body. Then, all kinds of changes started taking place throughout his body. Instantly, his body seemed to be filled with infinite power.
It had transformed to become the Chaotic Holy Body!
But what troubled Qin Chen was that although he now had the Chaotic Holy Body, the more powerful the body type, the more difficult to cultivate. He would need a suitable sutra to truly unleash the potential of the Chaotic Holy Body.
Should he cultivate ordinary sutras, he would only wastefully destroy the Chaotic Holy Body. His foundation would be average, and unable to cultivate to the highest levels.
“A pity. If the Chaotic Imperial Sutra was given as well, it would be perfect when cultivated together with the Chaotic Holy Body.
Qin Chen was left with some regret. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was still the most suitable sutra to cultivate with. It was an imperial sutra specially created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor for the Chaotic Holy Body. It could make full use of the Chaotic Holy Body’s potential, and allow for foundation establishment.
However, it was not in his possession. He could only look for other sutras to cultivate with.
Of course, if he checked in again, would he be able to get the matching Chaotic Imperial Sutra?
BOOM!
As soon as Qin Chen obtained the Chaotic Holy Body, the great emperor’s footprints on the cliff shone with a blinding brilliance that shot into the sky.
It was as if a supreme great emperor had descended there.
It jolted the whole of Taiyi Holy Land and the immense pressure caused every person, big or small, to freeze. They looked towards the cliff in shock, “This pressure... It’s coming from the cliff. Could that really be the footprints left by an ancient great emperor?”
Only Qin Chen could move. When the great emperor’s pressure appeared, he felt his body undergo a wonderful transformation, and the blood in his body boil.
Crackle crackle.
All his bones and flesh trembled as they underwent thorough cleansing.
After a long time, a thick, foul-smelling substance appeared all over Qin Chen’s body. He knew that it was the impurities in his body being expelled. His entire body felt significantly more refreshed.
It was probably caused by the resonance between the Chaotic Holy Body and the footprints left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Qin Chen felt extremely uncomfortable and left quickly.
He was a lot more relaxed than before when he left, and no longer exhausted. It took less than two hours to return to his residence.
Not long after, the phenomenon disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
A group of experts from Taiyi Holy Land, led by the Holy Lord, rushed to the cliff with the emperor’s footprints. But they did not see anyone. They were baffled as to why the footprints of the ancient great emperor would be activated.
Fortunately, it was only a trace of the great emperor’s majesty. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to withstand it.
After the phenomenon disappeared, the Holy Lord, elders and other high-level persons of the holy land examined the footprints for a long time, but came up with nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to leave.
They could never have imagined that the person who had caused the emperor footprint phenomenon to appear was a mere sweeper handyman disciple.
After Qin Chen returned to his residence and took a bath, he had a feel of his newly-gotten strength.
There was no one around him. He glanced at a huge rock the size of a house, wrapped both hands around it, and actually lifted it into the air, which showed his unbelievable strength.
Although he had been cultivating martial arts, it had only improved his fitness. It was good enough to have great strength at that time. But now, his strength had multiplied more than ten times.
And that was before cultivation. The Chaotic Holy Body had natural divine strength. Once he started cultivation, his strength would increase at an even more shocking pace.
The next day, Qin Chen sneaked back to the place with the emperor’s mark. After ascertaining that no one was around, he spoke silently to the system, “I want to check in here!”
BOOM!
The phenomenon appeared once again!
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Chaotic Imperial Sutra as a reward!”]
In his head, a divine book appeared. As he opened the first page, a profound passage of sutra instantly appeared and was rapidly imprinted on his mind.
The Chaotic Imperial Sutra had appeared in Qin Chen’s mind. He was stunned. He could not believe that he had obtained the legendary Chaotic Imperial Sutra on his second check-in.
That was an immortal imperial sutra created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was second to none from past to present. A sutra created specifically for the Chaotic Holy Body.
The first time he checked in, he had obtained the Chaotic Holy Body.
The second time he checked in, he obtained the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
It was as if everything had been arranged specially for him!
Qin Chen controlled the impulse to cultivate, because the emperor’s light had reappeared. Anything could happen any moment. He should not stay for long.
Moreover, he did not know what would happen if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with the Chaotic Holy Body. It was safer to go back to his residence to cultivate.
After Qin Chen left, the Holy Lord and a group of elders appeared once again. Although the phenomenon had already disappeared, it had occurred two days in a row, which naturally raised questions.
Could it be a sign that the ancient great emperor’s relic was about to appear?
After all, the birth of a relic was usually accompanied by a strange phenomenon.
Not to mention, no one knew why the ancient great emperor had specially left a pair of footprints there.
Soon, Qin Chen arrived at his residence and found a relatively hidden location. In recent years, very few from the sect had walked by that place. He began to cultivate.
As he started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with great anticipation, he realized something. Although vigorous spiritual energy was entering his body, no matter how he tried, he could not enter the first human body cultivation realm – Yiyuan!
In immortal cultivation on the Canglan Continent, cultivation realms were segregated into: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian and Shifang. Each realm was then further divided into nine levels of heavens.
To cultivate, it was necessary to step into the Yiyuan Realm and open up a divine sea in the body.
The divine sea was located at the dantian. It needed to be opened up and expanded, and transformed into a divine sea that stored divine power.
Qin Chen instantly understood. The Chaotic Holy Body was just too extraordinary. If he wanted to open his dantian to become a divine sea, he required a large amount of spiritual energy to succeed.
Otherwise, he would not be able to open his divine sea even if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
But where could he find large amounts of spiritual energy? Only in the immortal caves of high level people within the holy land. But he would never be allowed to set foot there.
The best alternative was to look for spirit stones.
A spirit stone was the product of crystallization of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contained large amounts of that energy.
Qin Chen was concerned about that. Taiyi Holy Land had long declined. It was not like other holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, which had large numbers of spirit mines. Taiyi Holy Land only had a few spirit mines at present. Moreover, they were relatively barren with low annual output.
Many elders themselves were only allocated a small number of spirit stones. Not to mention a mere handyman disciple – he was even less qualified to receive spirit stones.
Qin Chen was greatly troubled. He had shed his mortal body, but was still unable to cultivate.
At that point, Qin Chen could only hope to earn spirit stones when he checked in at other places within Taiyi Holy Land.
The next day, Qin Chen checked in at a different place. The mark of the emperor had shown movement two days in a row, and definitely attracted the attention of various high-level figures in Taiyi Holy Land. It was not convenient to check in again so soon. So he went to a great hall in Taiyi Holy Land.
It was a huge, magnificent hall. The Main Hall of Taiyi Holy Land. Holy Lords from past dynasties had all been there, so it should have good divinity.
More importantly, when Qin Chen swept the floor, he liked to enter the library to read the classics. He knew that the location of Taiyi Main Hall had undergone careful consideration. The founder of Taiyi Holy Land had specially chosen that place to build the hall. Buried underground were dragon vessels, intersecting numerous spirit vessels. It was definitely no ordinary place.
When Taiyi Holy Land was flourishing, generations of holy lands had used Taiyi Main Hall as a cultivation ground.
Of course, now that it had declined, the dragon vessels were nowhere to be found, and the spirit vessels had pretty much dried up.
However, he had a high chance of getting treasures like spirit stones from checking in to such a place.
[The system has detected a strong divinity here. Would you like to check in at Taiyi Main Hall?]
[Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!]
Even the system had confirmed his suspicions. He had to check in there.
“System, I want to check in!”
Qin Chen said silently in his head.
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have obtained a Divine Spirit Source!]
