SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1132 - 1132 The Purple Gold Sacred Qilin

Deep within Yaochi, immortal mist swirled and drifted, with ten thousand rays of rosy light and a thousand streams of auspicious color.

A woman in flowing snow-white robes, of peerless beauty, stepped forward unhurriedly.

Her hair was white as snow, her skin like jade, her immortal face unmatched in the world, as if she had walked out of a painting — an autumn beauty reflected in still water.

Her figure was graceful and slender, upright and elegant, like a snow lotus blooming on the Tianshan mountains.

Every inch of her skin resembled the finest mutton-fat jade, glowing with a lustrous and delicate sheen.

Her face alone was already beyond the power of words to describe.

But what drew the most attention was not her face, but rather her transcendent aura — pure as the faint halo of a new moon, pristine as snow piled upon jade trees.

Sacred and exquisite, utterly otherworldly, untouched by the mortal world.

Around her, the Great Dao resonated in unison, auspicious omens descended from the heavens, and countless ancient and profound Dao runes manifested on their own between heaven and earth.

"It's the divine maiden of the Jiang family — now the Sacred Maiden of Yaochi. She has appeared!"

"Hiss… such a stunning Dao phenomenon. Just how far has the Jiang family's divine maiden cultivated her innate Dao embryo?"

"She received the inheritance of the Queen Mother of the West on the Burial Emperor Star."

The appearance of Jiang Shengyi sent the entire realm into an uproar, with countless cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle buzzing with excitement.

It could be said that the root of this conflict stemmed from the Nine-Aperture Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo that Jiang Shengyi had obtained.

Of course, Jiang Shengyi bore no fault whatsoever.

It was nothing more than the greed of the Little Stone Emperor.

At this moment, Jiang Shengyi appeared and turned her gaze toward Bone Woman.

Her world-toppling, peerlessly beautiful immortal face was utterly cold.

"You — dare to say that again?"

No matter what happened — even if Sacred Spirit Island came to her door and forced her to hand over the Nine-Aperture Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo — Jiang Shengyi's state of mind would not waver in the slightest.

But she would not allow, and could not tolerate, anyone's contempt or slander toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Bone Woman stepping on Jun Xiaoyao while praising the Little Stone Emperor had undoubtedly touched Jiang Shengyi's reverse scale.

Hearing these words, Bone Woman continued to sneer coldly, though a trace of jealousy flickered in her eyes.

Indeed — whether it was appearance, figure, or aura, Jiang Shengyi made her jealous.

Though she herself was quite beautiful, compared to Jiang Shengyi — no, perhaps there was simply no comparison to be made at all.

"What's wrong, did I say something incorrect? My master is the direct offspring of a Great Perfection Sacred Spirit, destined to reign supreme from the moment of birth."

"Jun Xiaoyao has already fallen. He is the past. His glory is no more!"

The moment Bone Woman's words fell.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

No one knew when it happened, but Jiang Shengyi had already crossed the void directly, as if shrinking the distance to nothing, and appeared right before her.

Slap!

A resoundingly loud slap landed hard across Bone Woman's face.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

A rapid succession of crisp slapping sounds rang out.

Everyone was left somewhat dazed, having never expected something like this to happen.

Then came one final slap.

Bone Woman's head was sent flying clean off.

"Insolence!"

A Profound Sovereign-level Sacred Spirit moved to intervene.

But at that moment, two more figures appeared from the Yaochi side.

They were none other than Jiang Shengyi's master Yu Qingning and the current Yaochi Sacred Master.

The Yaochi Sacred Master, clad in white robes, reached out a palm and sent that Profound Sovereign-level Sacred Spirit stumbling back.

"Chaos Dao Sovereign…"

The repelled Profound Sovereign-level Sacred Spirit's eyes grew heavy with gravity.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shengyi had already calmly retreated back to the Yaochi camp.

Her snow-white robes billowed, her jade skin and immortal bones radiant, her bearing transcendent — there was no trace of the fact that she had just been furiously slapping someone.

Bone Woman was livid.

Her severed head flew back on its own and settled back onto her neck.

She was a Sacred Spirit formed from the fusion of immortal gold and bones, so losing her head was of no real consequence.

But to her, this was an absolute humiliation.

Her beautiful face was nearly disfigured, covered in cracks and fractures.

Sacred Spirits possessed powerful regenerative ability. Bone Woman channeled the divine energy within her body, attempting to heal.

But she found that the wounds simply would not close.

The injuries on her face were no ordinary wounds — they were wounds of the Great Dao.

In other words, this was a disfigurement at the level of rules, and it was nearly impossible to heal.

"Jiang Shengyi, what have you done to me!"

Bone Woman's already disfigured face twisted into something even more grotesque.

She was a follower of the Little Stone Emperor, and in her own right a seed-level heavenly pride who stood high above others.

Yet now she had been publicly disfigured, her head even sent flying — it was enough to drive her absolutely mad.

"This is the price of speaking out of turn. Xiaoyao is not someone you have the right to judge."

Jiang Shengyi's thick lashes lowered, her tone brooking no argument.

She had been in seclusion all along, and Yu Qingning, the Yaochi Sacred Master, and the others had not told Jiang Shengyi about what had happened to Jun Xiaoyao.

But Jiang Shengyi could vaguely sense something.

Even so, she would not believe it.

She would not believe that Jun Xiaoyao had met his end just like that.

"He's nothing but a dead man…" Bone Woman's face contorted.

Jiang Shengyi's gaze fell upon Bone Woman, utterly glacial, her brow carrying the chill of wind and snow.

Bone Woman snapped back to her senses instantly, a shudder running through her.

She had actually felt a sense of impending death wash over her.

"In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant."

"The only reason I haven't killed you is because I want you to understand just how foolish and ignorant the master you speak of truly is!"

Never mind Jun Xiaoyao — even the current Jiang Shengyi would not yield in the slightest when facing the Little Stone Emperor.

Hearing these words, many of the cultivators from surrounding factions who were watching the battle drew a sharp breath.

"Has the Jiang family's divine maiden grown so powerful that she can regard seed-level heavenly prides as mere ants?"

"But she really is both beautiful and fierce. A stunning woman this domineering — I'm completely smitten!"

On the Yaochi side, the Yaochi Sacred Master in her white robes stepped forward and said coldly, "You may still withdraw now. This farce should come to an end."

"End? Impossible!"

Bone Woman's voice was shrill, laced with hatred.

This was the mission the Little Stone Emperor had given them — how could they return empty-handed.

Just then, from among the Sacred Spirit Island group, the Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin that had been standing at the very back stepped forward.

Its entire body shimmered with purple divine radiance, dazzling and resplendent, with waves of immortal light surging from it.

"Divine Mark Purple-Gold!"

At the sight of the Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin, the powerful cultivators from Haoyang Sacred Ground, Taixuan Sect, and Qingxia Cave Heaven all had their breathing quicken.

The entire Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin was unmistakably composed entirely of Divine Mark Purple-Gold.

It was a Sacred Spirit that had transformed from Divine Mark Purple-Gold.

Its aura was staggering — clearly at the peak of Dao Sovereign, and only a single step away from Quasi-Emperor.

"This Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin — it seems to be the companion sacred beast of the Little Stone Emperor's father, the Great Perfection Sacred Spirit of Sacred Spirit Island!"

A companion sacred beast referred to the sacred spirits that formed alongside certain supremely powerful Sacred Spirit Stone Embryos.

Having been nourished by the sacred embryo for so long, their innate talent and strength were absolutely formidable.

"Hand over the Nine-Aperture Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo. Otherwise, Yaochi Sacred Ground will be turned upside down this very day!"

The Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin's tone was utterly indifferent.

Having followed the Great Perfection Sacred Spirit for so long, it had long since developed an imperious, commanding disposition.

This time, it had personally come forth to obtain the Nine-Aperture Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo for its young master, the Little Stone Emperor.

The Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin radiated an overwhelmingly powerful aura, standing only a single step away from Quasi-Emperor.

The Yaochi Sacred Master's expression grew somewhat unsightly.

Though both were Chaos Dao Sovereigns, the Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin was clearly stronger than her.

Not to mention that at the same level, Sacred Spirits inherently held an advantage over the human race.

As for Yu Qingning — though she had once been the founding sect master of Yaochi, her physical body had only recently been reconstructed, and her strength was far from what it had been at her peak.

Yaochi Sacred Ground did have a Quasi-Emperor, but they were also in seclusion and dormant, and awakening them would require paying a certain price.

It could be said that Yaochi Sacred Ground had truly been backed into a corner by Sacred Spirit Island.

And at this very moment, Jiang Shengyi stepped forward with light, graceful steps, her peerlessly beautiful immortal face as calm as still water.

"Master, Sacred Master — this matter arose because of Shengyi. Allow me to resolve it alone."

"How could that be acceptable?"

The Yaochi Sacred Master, the Grand Elder, and the others all spoke up to stop her.

For Yaochi to have recruited Jiang Shengyi was already a stroke of fortune.

How could they let her face everything on her own?

Jiang Shengyi gently shook her head, her eyes calm as still water.

She stepped forward and said, "The Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo will never be handed over willingly. If you want it, come and take it!"

Even when facing a supreme powerhouse like the Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin, Jiang Shengyi showed not the slightest trace of fear.

"Are you trying to use the Jiang family to pressure us?" The Purple-Gold Sacred Qilin's tone turned cold.

The backing behind Jiang Shengyi was nothing more than the Jiang family.

"Allow me!"

From the Sacred Spirit Island side, a Sacred Spirit emanating the aura of a Minor Heavenly Sovereign made its move. Its entire body gleamed like silver — it was a Sacred Spirit that had transformed from deep-sea sunken silver.

This Minor Heavenly Sovereign-level Sacred Spirit struck out, bearing down directly to suppress Jiang Shengyi.

"Hmph, let's see how you struggle this time!" A twisted, vengeful satisfaction spread across Bone Woman's face.

She couldn't deal with Jiang Shengyi herself, but that didn't mean no one else could subdue her.

Jiang Shengyi's brow carried the chill of wind and snow, her full head of snow-white hair dancing in the air, like an exiled immortal roused to anger.

But at this very moment.

In the void of the sky above, a terrifying hand of law suddenly appeared, wreathed in chaos energy as heavy as mountains, descending like a collapsing sky, pressing down to crush that Minor Heavenly Sovereign Sacred Spirit.

A thunderous boom rang out, and the earth split apart in all directions.

That Minor Heavenly Sovereign Sacred Spirit was slammed directly into the ground, its life or death unknown.

"Sacred Spirit Island — are you seeking annihilation?"

An utterly cold and indifferent voice rang out, reverberating across this entire realm.

Many people were still in a daze.

But when Jiang Shengyi heard that voice, her slender frame trembled suddenly, and the sacred, cool composure she had maintained all this time vanished completely.

Her eyes grew moist.

No matter how much time had passed, this voice — she could always recognize it the instant she heard it.
