Chapter 347 - The Unawakened State

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Qingluan felt a little uncomfortable. To be more precise, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

As a young woman in her prime, she was being stared at by Yun Zhiyi. This made her involuntarily feel goosebumps all over her body.

Yun Zhiyi did not notice Song Qingluan’s discomfort at all. He continued to size up the latter with his eyes shining as if he was admiring a peerless treasure.

“Elder Yun, this Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body is…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Xi coughed a few times before pulling Yun Zhiyi back to reality.

After coming back to his senses, Yun Zhiyi finally realized that he had offended Song Qingluan. He quickly smiled apologetically at Song Qingluan and stroked his beard. He explained, “The Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body can be said to be a unique physique that is rarely seen in ten thousand years. Cultivators with the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body can easily practice the spirit array. Moreover, no matter how complicated the spirit array is, they can easily find the core of the array.”

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and could not help but complain in his heart.

To be able to find the core of a spirit array effortlessly was equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of the spirit array!

What a powerful ability! A perverted ability that defied common sense!

However, Gu Xi quickly realized one thing. In other words, this so-called Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body was not much different from his System.

Of course, the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body targeted the spirit array alone, while the System developed in all directions!

In terms of perverseness, the System was undefeated!

Yun Zhiyi, who was at the side, caught the fleeting surprise on Gu Xi’s face. Then, he continued, “Although it sounds like the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body is very useful and is a dream physique for a Spirit Array Master, it also has its drawbacks, and they are very serious drawbacks.”

“Perhaps God gave the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body top-notch talent in the spirit array for the sake of fairness… But people with this physique find that their cultivation aspect is almost completely erased.”

Yun Zhiyi looked at Song Qingluan in front of him, his slightly turbid eyes filled with regret. “Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body… One needs to use a special secret technique to awaken it in order to show its prowess. However, that special secret technique has long been lost in the long river of history. Moreover, even if one is lucky enough to awaken the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body, compared to ordinary cultivators, the path of cultivation will be even more difficult

“I once read about the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body in an ancient book. There is a sentence that is still fresh in my memory: ‘Enlighten the Heavenly Spirit, roam the wilderness!’ However, throughout all these years, the people who possess the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body are extremely rare. There are even fewer people who are able to successfully awaken it.”

Yun Zhiyi let out a long sigh. His words contained an unconcealable regret.

What a good girl! Moreover, she had a rare physique like the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body! If he could take her in as a disciple, perhaps one day, her attainments in the spirit array would surpass his!

No, as long as she had awakened the Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body, surpassing him could be said to be inevitable!

Unfortunately, the secret method of awakening had long been lost.

After hearing Yun Zhiyi’s explanation, the hope that had appeared in Song Qingluan’s eyes could not help but return to disappointment, and in the end, she gradually recovered her usual calm.

Although she was a woman, who would not want to be a renowned cultivator?

Moreover, she was now the last member of the Song Family. If she did not have the means to protect herself, she would probably be killed by the Hu Clan sooner or later.

“Is there no other way to awaken it besides using a secret technique?” Gu Xi keenly noticed the change in Song Qingluan’s eyes and could not help but ask Yun Zhiyi again.

Yun Zhiyi shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “It would be great if there was another way. The difficulty lies in the word ‘awaken’.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi frowned, but he soon had a flash of inspiration.

Who said that one had to have a secret method to awaken it?

“Scan Song Qingluan.”

Thinking of this, Gu Xi immediately gave the System an order.

[Ding! Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body detected!]

[In an unawakened state, the impurities within are still unclear!]

“Is there a way to awaken this Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body?”

[Yes, but the process is extremely painful. Does the host wish to awaken it?]

Soon, the System’s cold voice answered Gu Xi’s question.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Gu Xi’s face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.

Even the System said that it was extremely painful, so the pain must not be something an ordinary person could endure.

Gu Xi subconsciously looked at Song Qingluan’s petite figure, and for a moment, he could not help but fall into hesitation.

He knew that Song Qingluan definitely wanted to awaken, but if she could not endure the pain brought by the awakening during the process…

Would the person he saved with great effort die in his hands?

“Miss Song… If there’s a chance to awaken, are you willing to give it a try?”

After careful consideration, Gu Xi still asked for Song Qingluan’s opinion.

As soon as he said this, Song Qingluan and Yun Zhiyi were both stunned.

“Of course I’m willing!” When she came back to her senses, Song Qingluan answered without hesitation.

“What if the process is extremely dangerous, and you might even have to pay the price with your life?” Gu Xi asked again.

“I’m willing,” Song Qingluan answered softly, her eyes firm and unquestionable.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Gu Xi asked again with a serious expression, “If I were to say that I have a way to awaken Miss Song’s Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body, but the process might require an unbearable pain…”

“Are you serious?!” Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, Song Qingluan could not help but interrupt him.

“Of course I’m serious.” Gu Xi nodded and did not look like he was joking at all.

On the contrary, Yun Zhiyi, who was at the side, quietly watched the conversation between the two. The way he looked at Gu Xi was very strange, and there was even a hint of disdain in his eyes.

In his eyes, what Gu Xi was saying now was just to pick up girls.

‘I can understand, I can understand. who hasn’t been young before?’ Yun Zhiyi silently cursed in his heart. He immediately turned around and walked into the distance.

“The two of you can chat first. This old man will go to the nearby area to check if there are any other demonic tribes around.”

Yun Zhiyi’s expression gradually became solemn as he sensed the remaining demonic tribe’s aura in the air.

Now that the outer realm demonic tribe members had appeared one after another, it was likely that their plans had already been put on the agenda.

Soon, the figure of Yun Zhiyi disappeared into the moonlight.
