Chapter 14- Xi Shen’s Physique Dilemma… I Don’t Know What You're Talking About

Xi Shen who was guiding the Six Elemental Qi to fuse with Yang Su’s dantian slowly lifted his gaze towards the ceiling of the bedroom. As if he could see through the stone ceiling to look at the ever-increasing tribulation that was around three hundred meters now, Xi Shen’s eyes narrowed into slits.

A smile then suddenly spread across his lips as he said, “You want to stop me?” As Xi Shen said that a derisive expression appeared on his face before he condescendingly yell, “Don’t make me laugh!! Who the fuck do you think you are?!!”

As if the consciousness heard Xi Shen's words, the dark clouds swirled in fury before a lightning bolt with the thickness of a meter struck down from the heavens toward the small stone hut.

Seeing this, the Head Elder and all the disciples on the second mountain faces drained of blood, the disciples even more so. They all frantically rush off the mountain as if they were being chased by bloodthirsty demons.

The lightning itself wasn’t actually headed for Xi Shen or Yang Su specifically, but the Six Elemental Qi that was fusing with Yang Su’s dantian.

This creation had gone against heaven's will, and in its fury, the heavens have decided to eradicate its existence.

With the same derisive expression on his face, an eye suddenly appeared on Xi Shen’s forehead. Out of it step his miniature Divine Soul. Within this soul, one could see the six elemental laws swirling around within it.

Since Xi Shen was cultivating like the days of old, his soul at such a young age had already resembled someone within the Nascent Soul Realm. But even though he had comprehended the six elements to a certain degree, he actually couldn’t fully utilize them like the cultivators back in his past life.

He suspected it had to do with the fact that he was born into this era, where his body adapted to a physique that was fit to cultivate Spiritual Qi instead of a physique to cultivate the laws between heaven and earth. So at the moment, Xi Shen’s body was stuck between developing a physique with the three attributes to cultivate Spiritual Qi and developing a physique to cultivate like the days of old.

To fix this problem Xi Shen had decided he would just cultivate them both to find a balance between them and become a unique existence in both his previous life and this life.

Quicker than a lightning bolt falling from the sky, Xi Shen’s miniature Divine Soul enlarged and covered Yang Su.

Then, as if the tribulation lightning had lost its target, the meter-wide lightning bolt falling from the heavens came to a screeching halt above the stone hut, before bursting into dazzling sparks of blue electricity and dissipated.

The clouds in the sky churn in anger at Xi Shen’s actions.

Meanwhile, Xi Shen himself was laughing his head off within the bedroom.

“You blasted heavens!! Even if I’m going against you, the fact that you gave my soul immunity against your will is going to be your undoing!!… hahahaha!!”

Xi Shen knew this was going to happen. His Divine Soul was blessed by the heavens when he was born into this world. Which means he was bestowed with the title of the son of heaven.

The person with this title would simply put, have enormous good luck and fortune. Everything under heaven would seem like it would always go in favor of that person. Just to give an example, if a son of heaven were to be on the verge of being killed by a powerful expert’s Daoist spell, it wouldn’t be a surprise if that powerful expert suddenly underwent a Qi deviation right then and there. And if that didn’t work, then things could even get more ridiculous like a meteor falling out of the sky and smashing that expert to death.

All in all, the person blessed by the heavens would practically be unkillable, even by the heavens themselves.

With unwillingness, the consciousness in the sky disappeared along with the tribulation. In the same moment it did, the Six Elemental Qi finally finished fusing with Yang Su’s dantian.

Immediately afterward his body began to radiate six colors, signifying the six elements. Within the small bedroom, one elemental Spiritual Qi after another appeared and started swirling around him. Looking at them. one would think they were being submissive towards Yang Su as if they were welcoming a Sovereign of the six elements.

With a thought from Yang Su, the Six Elemental Qi became a stream that entered through his abdomen and headed for his now dazzling six-colored Dantian.

Yang Su could now be said to be a one-of-a-kind cultivator. With his Six Elemental Qi Dao Foundation, his strength among disciples within the same realm would be on a whole other level.

A slightly exhausted Xi Shen looked towards Yang Su with a slight smile. He then recalled his Divine Soul into his Sea of Consciousness and got up to leave the room to let Yang Su cultivate and get used to his Dao Foundation, but before he could Yang Su’s called his name from behind.

“Elder brother Xi Shen..”

Xi Shen turn to look at Yang Su and saw that he had a worried look on his face. The commotion that Xi Shen had caused by interfering with the academy’s Grand Formation had undoubtedly alerted the higher-ups of the academy. If that alone didn’t do the trick, the very noticeable Heavenly Tribulation appearing above the second outer disciple mountain had definitely done it.

Xi Shen casually waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about anything, just get familiar with your Dao Foundation and diligently cultivate. I heard about the Freshmen Disciple Competition that's coming up, why don’t you participate?”

Before Yang Su could say anything about his elder brother’s nonchalance, he open the door and left the bedroom.

Xi Shen stepped out of the small stone hut into the mid-day sun. With a loud yawn, Xi Shen rubbed his neck and said, “Damn, even if it was just manipulating the six elemental laws, I shouldn’t be this exhausted. I should start my Spiritual Qi cultivation as soon as possible to set my physique in balance. If I just mindlessly manipulated the laws I comprehended, then who knows what might happen to me? Maybe the Heavenly Physique would take over the Spiritual Qi physique and I’ll lose the ability to cultivate Spiritual Qi. Wouldn’t that mean I’ll end up turning into some subservient law at the end of my cultivation? That outcome just doesn’t bode well with me, there’s no way I’ll give up my freedom to become the heavens puppet.”

As Xi Shen said that, he stopped in the middle of the training grounds and then did a few arm and leg stretches. Suddenly, a violent swoosh could be heard before Donghuan appeared in a colorful radiance above the courtyard.

“Second prince!! As the Head Elder of the Outer Sect, I hereby sentence you to a hundred years of imprisonment in the Academy’s Ten Thousand Myriad Ghost Formation!! Not only did you use some unknown method to call upon a Heavenly Tribulation and put every one of your fellow disciples on the mountain in danger, but you also broke several of the Academy’s rules by brazenly tampering with the Academy’s sacred Grand Formation, putting the entire Academy in a precarious situation where it could of malfunction and jeopardize the safety of the Academy itself!! What do you have to say about your inexcusable offenses towards the Celestial Academy!!”

As Donghuan’s rattled off Xi Shen’s punishment and offenses, his voice was heard by all the disciples on the mountain and they were shocked, to say the least.

Looking up at Donghuan floating in the air, in response to his question Xi Shen just shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know what you're talking about, I didn’t see any tribulation of the sort nor did I tamper with the Academy’s Grand Formation. Has the Head Elder mistaken me for someone else by any chance?”

As Xi Shen said that, Yang Su who was closely listening from inside the stone hut couldn’t help but become dumbfounded, before a wearily smile appeared on his face. He thought Xi Shen was going to use his identity as the second prince to solve the current situation but he didn’t expect his elder brother to just outright deny his actions.

Looking at Xi Shen’s somewhat immature face, which sported a confused expression while he looked up at Donghuan, anyone would believe his words were genuine.

Even Donghuan was taken aback for a moment before his expression suddenly turned frosty. If he hadn’t witnessed the lightning fall towards this hut with his own eyes, he would have probably thought he had wrongly accused Xi Shen. But sadly for Xi Shen, he had a clear view of those occurrences, and if the Academy did an investigation on the formation surrounding Xi Shen’s courtyard they could find instances of tampering.

Without saying anything, Donghuan grasped towards Xi Shen.

With that gesture, Xi Shen immediately felt his body become rigid and he was unable to move even a finger.
