Chapter 4227: God-given Body

Ye Bufan was not surprised by this test result; he was a Rank Nine Saint Emperor, which corresponded to a Rank Nine Chaotic Yuan Immortal.

The spiritual treasure mirror in the Immortal Realm also tests Aptitude, but that is a reference standard for Sects to recruit Disciples. In comparison, the Holy Spirit Tournament's method is more authentic and closer to actual strength.

After all, no matter the Aptitude, it ultimately needs to be tested through actual combat. This is also an important reason why major Sects prefer to select Rank Nine Yuan Immortal Disciples to participate, as the final result is determined by combat power.

If a Rank One Chaotic Yuan Immortal were chosen to participate, while the Rank increase would be there, they would only end up being completely crushed by others.

Next were Xuan Yuan Linglong and Yuhua Ling, and the results were exactly as expected: both were Rank Nine Chaotic Yuan Immortals.

With the registration here concluded, it was time for the three to part ways. After all, time was pressing, and they needed to hurry back to Cultivate their strength.

After a reluctant farewell, Ye Bufan followed Ku Xuzi on the journey back. Chatting along the way, he said, "Master, this registration method seems to have flaws. There's only one month between competitions, so wouldn't registering earlier give an advantage?"

"You're right, as expected of my good Disciple. You can see through any problem." Ku Xuzi looked at Ye Bufan as if he were looking at a peerless treasure, and his gaze made Ye Bufan's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, this Old Man didn't seem to have any special hobbies, otherwise, he would really have to change Sects.

Ku Xuzi said, "Absolute fairness doesn't exist, and besides, the registration period is very short, only seven days. On the first day of registration, it's absolutely packed with people, and everyone is vying for that slight advantage. However, it doesn't matter too much; in the face of absolute talent, this small convenience won't make any difference. In fact, after one month, ninety percent of the participating Disciples will not be able to Breakthrough the Chaotic Yuan Venerable stage. After all, this is a major Bottleneck, not something just anyone can Breakthrough in a short time." Then he looked at Ye Bufan with satisfaction,

"Master believes in you. Our goal isn't just the first round; you will definitely be able to stand before the Immortal Saint Ancestor statue!"

"Uh…" Ye Bufan was a bit speechless. How did this Old Man seem to have more confidence than him?

"That… Master, why do you seem so happy about taking me as your Disciple?" Ku Xuzi burst into laughter: "Of course, who wouldn't be happy to find a treasure?" Ye Bufan was confused: "Normally, isn't Linglong's Aptitude the best among the three of us? She has a Spotless Spiritual Root, and you all were fighting over her before. Logically, you should have been disappointed when she was taken by Dragon Granny, but now it doesn't seem that way."

"Hahahaha…" After he finished speaking, Ku Xuzi burst into another fit of laughter, laughing unrestrainedly and incredibly happily.

"How can those two women's eyes compare to this Old Man's? I just used a small trick to make them fall into the trap. The first one this Old Man set his eyes on was you, little fellow. It's just that Dragon Granny has always been overbearing, and this Old Man understands her temper very well. If I had given up on the Spotless Spiritual Root and chosen you first, she might have become suspicious. If that old woman had looked closely, she might have discovered your Heaven-Defying Aptitude. This Old Man has never liked to contend with women, so I used a small trick to divert her attention. It's laughable that old woman thought she had snatched a treasure, but she never expected the true good Disciple to be with this Old Man!"

"Uh!" Ye Bufan was speechless. This Old Man looked honest and simple, but he didn't expect him to have so many tricks up his sleeve.

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in his heart. Did this Old Man see that he had the Chaotic Body? Logically, he shouldn't have.

The Chaotic Body is extremely Heaven-Defying, but besides himself, it is generally difficult for others to discover. Even the spiritual treasure mirror before didn't see anything, thinking he was a Trash.

How did this Old Man discover it? Does he have extraordinary insight? Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask directly. Although this Old Man seemed like a good person, they had only just met, and everything still needed to be seen slowly.

"Master, did you perhaps misjudge? Why do I feel that my talent is not as good as Linglong's?"

"Misjudge? Nonsense! How could this Old Man misjudge!" Ku Xuzi looked at him, his gaze fervent,

"A Heaven-Bestowed Physique, a Heaven-Bestowed Physique rarely seen in a million years, was actually encountered by this Old Man!"

"Uh…" Ye Bufan's face was utterly bewildered. This wasn't feigned; he was genuinely confused. Wasn't he the Chaotic Body?

When did he become a Heaven-Bestowed Physique? What the hell is this?

"That… Master, what is a Heaven-Bestowed Physique? Are there any benefits?"

"Oh, there are too many benefits! Although I haven't seen one before, it's recorded in ancient texts…" Ku Xuzi spoke endlessly,

"A Heaven-Bestowed Physique, as the name suggests, is a Physique blessed by Heaven. There are no Bottlenecks in Cultivation, rapid Breakthroughs have no Heart Demon, and with the same Cultivation Technique, the speed of Cultivation is hundreds of times faster than ordinary people…" The Old Man grew more excited as he spoke, listing a great many benefits, and at the end, he burst into laughter again.

"Heaven has eyes! It seems our Yunhai Sect has hope for revitalization!" Ye Bufan, however, was still utterly bewildered. Heaven-Bestowed Physique, blessed by Heaven, what was going on?

No Heart Demon, no Bottlenecks, capable of rapid Breakthroughs—these were also some of the characteristics of the Chaotic Immortal Art, so he hadn't paid much attention to them before.

Logically, since this Old Man spoke with such certainty, he shouldn't have misjudged. But the Heavenly Dao had always regarded him as a thorn in its side, even sending the Extinction Thunder Tribulation during his Undergoing Tribulation. How could it possibly bestow a blessing upon him?

Could it be that this Old Man was truly old and mistaken? Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he remembered that when he finally passed the Immortal Emperor's Ninefold Lightning Tribulation, a golden light suddenly shot out from the thundercloud and merged into his glabella.

At that time, the thing was too fast, and he didn't react at all, but afterward, he didn't perceive anything, feeling no changes in his body.

It seems that was the Heaven's blessing that Old Man Ku spoke of. It's just that he possessed the Chaotic Body and cultivated the Chaotic Cultivation Technique, so he didn't feel too obvious a change.

It must be like this; the key to the problem has been found. But that Heavenly Dao has always been his enemy, wishing to strike him dead with a single bolt of lightning. Why would it bestow a blessing upon him?

Ye Bufan's mind raced. If he were the Heavenly Dao and encountered an enemy he couldn't conquer, an enemy he couldn't kill, then the best solution would be to send him away.

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand. It seemed the Heavenly Dao wanted him to Cultivate quickly, rapidly increase his strength, and then leave the Immortal Realm.

Although this idea was a bit strange, it was the only answer he could find at the moment. Regardless, it was ultimately a good thing, which put him in a great mood.

Even if he didn't obtain the third Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, this Heaven-Bestowed Physique would allow his Cultivation speed to soar.

If he did obtain the third Legacy, he could also use the Heaven-Bestowed Physique to conceal his Chaotic Body, so as not to attract others' attention.

After all, there are many things in the Chaotic Saint Realm that he cannot control, such as the Immortal Saint Emperor, and who exactly was the woman who left him the bodhi tree?

All in all, facing an uncertain future, it was better to be careful.
