7 Chapter 7

The red light flashed away.

Li Yu finally showed his figure under Mount Lushan.

"Wow..."

Li Yu supported himself to the boulders on the edge of the mountain and spat in the darkness.

"I really can't take it anymore. This is forcing the load on myself, I almost lost half of my life!"

After a long while, Li Yu's face was still pale and his mouth was gaping wide, gasping for air.

"Some people have motion sickness, some are seasick, and I have airsickness, I am going to faint. This body's physique is really bad."

Li Yu smiled and shook his head.

Just for the sake of keeping appearances and to not be found out easily, I tranversed a few thousand miles 'til dawn, and came to Lushan from Dongyue. The twilight really gives people strength, it was a distance of thousands of miles away, but he arrived like a flash. The only problem was that Li Yu's body can't hold it anymore!

"It seems that I must improve my strength fast. I can't stand this body that is as weak as a chicken."

Li Yu slightly smiled, got up and found a place to sit down as he opened the system.

The System Shop automatically includes all the features of the "Highest Heavenly Book", so Li Yu is able to scan all the resources in the Trade System.

"The first is Physique. My body quality is too bad. Then I shall redeem a Physique!"

Opening the System and seeing all the exquisite items in the Resource Storehouse. Li Yu smiles contemplating, "What physique shall I choose? The Sacred Body? Or the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?"

The Sacred Body, although it aims to make the body tyrannical, but its cultivation is too difficult.

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, with all the advantages of the Sacred Body, and the benefits to attain the great Dao of the Heaven and Earth! Then I choose this!

"Give me the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo."

"Expending 30 energy points... Beginning the redeeming process."

"What ..."

Li Yu was unable to resist the sudden

burst of pain.

A great flow of heat like magma bursts fiercely within Li Yu's body, and every inch of his body is hurting. It seems that his whole body is being completely crushed and then re-shaped little by little.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long for the process of body remodeling to finish. However, in just a few minutes, Li Yu is longer than 10,000 years.

"Hu! That was a close call!"

Li Yu, who rubbed the sweat on his forehead, gasping for breath, still had a lingering fear of what he had just experienced.

"That almost killed me, but I don't know how effective it is?"

After recovering, Li Yu began to look at his changes.

Freely moving around, he felt the power of his body incomparable to how he was before, Li Yu's heart was suddenly filled with an unprecedented sense of power.

"Haha! Good! Very good! This brother is no longer a weak chicken!"

Li Yu patted his chest, clenched his fists, bent his arms, and put on a bodybuilder's posture, all along accompanied with a weird hehe laugh.

Turning his head, Li Yu looked for a stone on the edge of the mountain, and he walked over to it with a smile.

"Let's try if I can move it!"

Bending down, he reached for the two corners of the stone, and pushing it hard, he easily lifted the stone.

"It's this easy? It's at least as heavy as four stones, 500 jin maybe?"

With a "peng" he threw the stone outwards, and Li Yu waved his arm and laughed creepily again.

"The problem with my physique has been solved. Now let's look for a cultivation technique so I could formally start cultivation. The cultivation technique for this physique is naturally the Primordial Beginning Scripture."

Opening the System, Li Yu is ready to redeem the Primordial Beginning Scripture when he came to a realization.

"Hey? I just redeemed the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and consumed 30 points. I don't know how much energy point there is left?"

Thinking of this, Li Yu quickly checked the energy point data.

"A thousand eight hundred and fifty-three points of energy? So much? It seems that I won't have to worry of using up my energy points for a short while."

"Since there is no shortage of energy, trade to Primordial Beginning Scripture."

"Expending 10 energy points, beginning the redeeming process."

Numerous text images like flowing water were constantly pouring into Li Yu's mind, Li Yu groaned, and his face became slightly white.

"It's a bit unbearable to accept so much information at once. Fortunately my physique has become stronger, or else I would have a headache for a while."

Li Yu touched his forehead and sat down on the rock.

"The physique has been changed, and I also have a cultivation technique now. Let's not hurry with cultivating, for now let's observe what happens to Zhou Yi."

"Give me a connection to 'Highest Heavenly Book 'System."

As soon as Li Yu gave the order, the System instantly connected to the "Highest Heavenly Book" and showed all the situations around Zhou Yi in Li Yu's eyes.

Jade Emperor peak.

Zhou Yi reached for the stone and stood on the field.

"Zhou Yi, congratulations, you won the immortal destiny!"

Liu Yunzhi walked up, and the smile on his face was somewhat meaningful. "What immortal destiny is it? Let us see it?"

"Yes! Let us see it!"

"Zhou Yi, don't hide it, take it out and let us see it! "

"Yeah! Immortal destiny, let's us see it to open our eyes!"

All the other people around have already spoken out.

"Hehe. What immortal destiny, did you really believe it?"

Zhou Yi shook the stone in his hand and shook his head. "Isn't this a stone? Isn't it picked up from the ground in front of everyone? The Immortal is obviously only amused by me, it was just a game for him in the human world."

"Zhou Yi, you are not being honest."

Liu Yunzhi's eyes flashed with a trace of unfathomable glare. "Everyone here is your classmate. We won't be happy if only you would take all the benefits. If you hide it, it will be awkward. Everyone agrees, isn't that right?"

"Yes! Zhou Yi, you are too unsophisticated."

"So stingy, what do you mean by doing that?"

"If we all become Immortals, people will put us in their eyes!"

The sour-stricken(1) crusade sounds up and down.

[(1) Sour-stricken means jealous remarks]

"Hehe!"

The smile on Zhou Yi's face is still very gentle, and his posture remained gentle and graceful like a piece of jade.

Of course, he knows that Liu Yunzhi didn't have good intentions, and he knows that these people are all jealous of him, but with his innocence, he will naturally be quiet.

"It's really only a stone, if you want to take a look, then take it!"

Zhou Yi didn't actually care about the stone in his hand, and so he casually threw the stone to Liu Yunzhi.

Li Yu hid the "Highest Heavenly Book" System and hid it in this stone. When Zhou Yi took the stone, the System had already entered his mind. This stone is really just a stone.

"Uh..."

Zhou Yi's move was unexpected. Liu Yunzhi took the stone and looked at it carefully. He finally found out that it was really just a stone.

"Did I really just think of it the wrong way?"

Liu Yunzhi thought of the plots in many novels he read, and quickly bit his middle finger and painted the blood on the stone. However… the stone was still a stone.

Zhou Yi saw Liu Yunzhi's move and secretly sneered. He said at the beginning: "It may be that my luck is not enough for this opportunity. This immortal destiny has nothing to do with me anymore. But I don't know if others could have the luck for this opportunity."

"Yeah! Didn't the Immortal say that we are all fated people? Liu Yunzhi, show it to me."

"And me! And me!"

"Count me in!"

The bunch of people already rioted for having the opportunity and so Liu Yunzhi had no choice but to hand the stone out.

The stone passed around in the crowd, and almost everyone had looked at it. They have tried every method they could think off, but they still gained nothing of it.

"It must be that the Immortal is just teasing us. Isn't there a lot of Immortal who like to play pranks in stories? This is definitely just an ordinary stone."

Zhou Yi said to the crowd, when finally the stone returned to him. He then threw the stone on the ground.

"It must be like that!"

Everyone sighed helplessly.

"Look! There, what is that?"

Li Xiaoman suddenly pointed to the place where the Nine Dragons fell and shouted in surprise.

Everyone quickly looked over and saw that in the place where Nine Dragons fell was a huge five-colored stone platform illuminating a dazzling Five-colored light, and a huge Taiji Diagram appeared out of thin air.

The two Yin-Yang Fish in the Taiji Diagram kept moving and seemed to be slowly opening a portal.

"Immortal destiny! That's the real immortal destiny!"

Liu Yunzhi screamed and rushed to the ground where the Nine Dragons fell.

"Yeah!"

"This is the real immortal destiny!"

"Fast! Fast! Let's quickly go!"

Everyone looked at the place where the platform stand erected. Immediately they felt their heart thump with excitement and they rushed over with new found enthusiasm.

"Nine Dragons fell to the ground and the Emperor's Path was opened. Is this the Immortal Emperor's Path?"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up and he, too, rushed to the place where the Nine Dragons fell.

"Hey…"

An invisible force pulled everyone inside the bronze coffin, and the lid closed with a "clang".

"Hong"

The five-colored divine light seemed to pierce through Heaven and Earth, shooting straight towards the sky. The Nine Dragons also entered through the portal in the Taiji Diagram with the coffin and disappeared completely.

"Good! The curtain has been opened, and the show is about to begin!"

Li Yu, who saw this scene, immediately laughed heartily.
