Chapter 72: Touching the Head, Granting Immortality

The sudden voice silenced all the powerful figures of Da Li present.

The Da Li Emperor's face turned pale.

They all knew that in the eyes of the Immortal Master, they Mortals were no different from ants.

What happened to ants who made demands?

The bloodbath in the Da Li capital twenty years ago was the best answer.

They all lowered their heads, sweat pouring down, stealing glances at Li Fan.

Yet that voice, as if unafraid of death, repeated loudly: "Please, Immortal Master, save my sister!"

Li Fan looked toward the direction of the voice; it was Su Changyu, about ten years old.

A middle-aged man finally reacted and hurried forward, pressing him to his knees.

"Yu'er, what nonsense are you spouting!" The middle-aged man knelt in panic, pressing Su Changyu's head to the ground to kowtow to Li Fan.

While kowtowing, he said: "My son is ignorant; please forgive him, Immortal Master!"

Li Fan fell silent.

Now all the Da Li nobles panicked. Led by the Emperor, they also knelt down.

Xiao Heng also kowtowed and said cautiously: "Immortal Master, please save Su Xiaomei."

After a long while, Li Fan finally spoke slowly: "Since that's the case, take me to see her. Don't let it happen again."

Everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief.

In truth, Li Fan had already planned to see Su Changyu's terminally ill sister, but he couldn't agree too easily on the surface.

So he had put on an act.

After a moment, Li Fan saw Su Xiaomei in an underground chamber.

The temperature in the chamber was very low, and many officials who followed couldn't help but shiver.

A baby who seemed to have just been born lay quietly on a small jade bed.

Beside the jade bed, many blocks of ice were piled up.

The baby's body seemed extremely hot, requiring a maid to constantly break ice and apply it to her to cool her down.

Seeing this abnormal scene, Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

He stepped forward and swept his Divine Sense over Su Xiaomei, his expression freezing.

"All of you, withdraw!"

He ordered coldly.

The nobles then filed out of the underground chamber.

Only Li Fan and Su Xiaomei remained.

Li Fan placed his hand on Su Xiaomei's burning body and channeled an extremely thin thread of Spiritual Qi into her.

After it circulated once and returned, Li Fan confirmed, his face showing shock.

"There's actually no Immortal-Mortal Miasma in Su Xiaomei's body?"

"And what Physique is this? That thread of Spiritual Qi I just sent in was actually strengthened after circulating?"

Li Fan controlled that thread of Spiritual Qi and gathered it on his finger.

It was completely different from the original Spiritual Qi in his body, carrying a scorching sensation.

But it was different from the scorching heat of Crimson Flame he had seen before.

It wasn't the heat of fire, but…

Li Fan carefully analyzed the ball of Spiritual Qi at his fingertip. After a long time, he made a rough judgment.

His expression turned strange.

"The heat of anger?"

Li Fan looked at the still-sleeping Su Xiaomei, a peculiar expression on his face.

"Could this be the legendary Immortal Body and Heavenly Jealousy?"

Having stepped into the Cultivation World for two lifetimes, Li Fan was no longer a novice.

He knew a bit about common knowledge in the Cultivation World.

First, the Immortal Body.

As everyone knows, Mortals in the Cultivation World are born with Immortal-Mortal Miasma in their bodies, and to Cultivate, they must remove the miasma.

But when two Immortal Cultivators conceive, there is a certain chance of giving birth to offspring without Immortal-Mortal Miasma.

Such a person is called an Immortal Body.

An Immortal Body has unparalleled affinity for various Cultivation Techniques and Daoist Magic.

Their Cultivation talent is also extremely high.

Combined, this makes an Immortal Body not only Cultivate at a terrifying speed but also gain a natural boost in power when using techniques.

Far beyond what ordinary Immortal Cultivators can match.

They can be called true darlings of heaven.

In distant continents, legends of forming a Golden Core in just over a decade of Cultivation were all created by Immortal Bodies.

Next, Heavenly Jealousy.

In the Cultivation World, there is a type of person born with innate Divine Abilities.

For example, born with three eyes that can see through illusions; born with extraordinary bones, endless potential, and nearly inexhaustible vitality.

Or born able to control water, fire, lightning, etc.

Such people, born with innate Divine Abilities, often face corresponding Heavenly Jealousy due to the power of their abilities.

From birth, they are accompanied by various calamities.

If they can overcome each calamity, they naturally become stronger through the trials.

But if they cannot survive, they die with their Divine Abilities.

This is Heaven's restriction and also a test for such people.

Those with innate Divine Abilities may not Cultivate very quickly.

But when fighting others, they are often invincible among their peers.

There are even many with powerful Divine Abilities who can kill Cultivators of the same Realm as easily as killing chickens, and they can even fight across a major Realm.

Such people are all notorious and have remarkable achievements in the Cultivation World.

Both Physiques are extremely rare, one in ten thousand.

And now, what did Li Fan see?

These two Physiques actually appeared in one baby at the same time!

With no Immortal-Mortal Miasma in her body, she is undoubtedly an Immortal Body.

Although he didn't know why an Immortal Body, which can only be born from two Immortal Cultivators, appeared in this Small World full of Mortals.

Li Fan was sure he wasn't mistaken.

And the power that had been burning Su Xiaomei from within should be her innate Divine Ability.

Li Fan guessed that her body was related to the emotion "anger."

As the anger in her heart grew stronger, her strength would multiply.

Until the anger burned both herself and her enemies to ashes.

And Su Xiaomei's current state of constant heat was likely due to losing control of her Divine Ability, unable to suppress her anger.

"Immortal Body, Heavenly Jealousy—no wonder she faces such a deadly calamity at birth."

"With her anger constantly burning her vitality, even hiding in an ice cellar all day, Su Xiaomei cannot possibly live to adulthood."

"No wonder, in the previous life, Su Changyu was so anxious. He was willing to become a test subject for Immortal-Mortal Miasma just to become an Immortal Cultivator as soon as possible."

"In his view, perhaps becoming a legendary Immortal Master could save his sister."

"Unfortunately…"

Li Fan looked at Su Xiaomei. In his Sea of Consciousness, the Azure Flame Illusion Spirit suddenly awoke from slumber.

"If not for me, even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to save her life."

A faint blue figure appeared before Li Fan.

Like a thin mist, it slowly approached Su Xiaomei's tiny body.

It reached out and touched Su Xiaomei's head.

The heat on the baby gradually dissipated.

Her furrowed brows relaxed, and Su Xiaomei smacked her lips, slowly turning over.

Thanks to readers MengHuanChenXiYue and QingCaiBaiYuTang for their tips.

PS: The author has decreed that Su Xiaomei, the most talented person, has finally appeared.
