543: Chapter 543

Qin Yun sat cross-legged on the spot, his chest rising and falling only slightly, but his Divine Thought remained fixed on that wisp of newly born yang-attribute Origin within his body.

The old man in the ring stared at him for a long time before finally being unable to hold back.

"You brat, you actually dare to walk this path."

Qin Yun didn't look up.

"The road is already laid out before my eyes, why wouldn't I walk it?"

The old man was silent for a moment before suddenly laughing.

"Fair enough."

"However, what you are taking now is only the first step."

"What has just condensed in your body isn't some powerful Physique; it's merely a Blazing Flame Spirit Body. Above the Blazing Flame Spirit Body, one can achieve the Flame Dao Body, the Flame Celestial Body, and the Flame Divine Body. Only after those will you have the qualifications to touch the Solar Holy Body."

Qin Yun finally opened his eyes.

"The Solar Holy Body isn't the end point either."

The old man's eyelid twitched.

"A little thing like you is so overly ambitious; you think a Saint Body isn't enough?"

"The Solar Holy Body is already extremely strong; it would be considered a supreme Prodigy even in the Nine Great Heavenly Continents. Only the Ten Great Saint Bodies at the Quasi-Emperor Body level can steadily suppress it."

Quasi-Emperor Body.

From young Qin Yun's memories, he knew that because the Laws of heaven and earth were complete, the Physiques of the past had become even more powerful, and there were even so-called Emperor Bodies above the Saint Bodies.

He wanted to walk the path of the Solar Holy Body now not because the Solar Holy Body was strong.

He could use his own Body Scripture to nurture the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body or the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, both of which were stronger than the Solar Holy Body.

But he needed this path to verify the new concepts he had developed after obtaining the body concepts of the ancient existence.

Physique Fusion.

A single Physique could be condensed.

Could two Physiques be stacked?

What about three?

If he could truly make this path work, what he would do in the future wouldn't be cultivating a single Physique.

Instead, it would be creating a new path that fused all Physiques.

"Interesting."

Qin Yun said no more and went directly into secluded cultivation.

For the next two months, he didn't take a single step out of the stone house.

Refining blood by day.

Refining bone by night.

During the most difficult times, he would refine his spirit.

The foundation of the Blazing Flame Spirit Body was inherently fire-oriented and aggressive.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Origin, however, was a different path—heavy, fierce, and hard.

When the two forces first clashed, Qin Yun felt a sweetness in his throat, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Meridians in his body were painfully hot, and his bones vibrated along with them.

The old man's scalp went numb as he watched.

"Stop for a moment. If you keep going like this, something bad is going to happen."

Qin Yun only replied with three words.

"I won't die."

He didn't just stubbornly push through to the end; instead, he changed his method.

First, he used the Body Scripture to divert the flow.

He broke apart the Desolate Ancient Origin, not refining it all at once, but simmering it bit by bit.

He first introduced a wisp into his blood.

Once the blood adapted, he moved it into his bones.

When the bones held up, he let his spiritual power touch it.

Ten days later, the fire spiritual power in Qin Yun's body had changed its appearance.

Originally, it was just fire.

Now, the fire carried a hint of the flavor of a rising sun.

Twenty days later, whenever he circulated his technique, a faint golden fire glow would surface around his body.

Thirty days later, when his blood and Qi surged, the temperature in the stone house rose accordingly.

Forty days later, the bone refining was initially successful.

Fifty days later, the spirit refining was mostly complete.

By the sixtieth day, that wisp of extreme yang Origin in Qin Yun's body was no longer a small spark, but had transformed into a gold-red light seed, sinking deep into his flesh and blood.

The Solar Holy Body was still far off.

But the rudimentary outline had been established.

At this very moment, the power that had been accumulated in his body for many years completely exploded.

The final barrier of the Body Tempering Realm was instantly pierced through.

Body Tempering Perfection.

It didn't stop there.

His Physical Body shook again, and his muscles and bones chimed in unison.

The Body Tempering Extreme Realm was forcibly pushed higher.

Qin Yun sat motionless, but the spiritual power within his body surged up level by level.

Spiritual Qi frantically poured into his Dantian.

In the next moment, the Spirit Nurturing Realm was achieved.

Gold-red spiritual power circulated within it, its quality significantly higher than before.

Qin Yun clenched his fist.

Before the punch was even thrown, a heatwave rolled out from his palm.

"Spirit Nurturing Realm."

The old man floated beside him, staring at him for a long time.

"You have barely managed to carve out this path of yours."

"But don't be happy too soon."

"A thing like a Saint Body embryonic form consumes the most resources. You've only built a frame now; the inside is still very empty."

This was true.

Qin Yun checked his Storage Pouch.

His Medicinal Pills were almost gone.

Even the few fire-attribute Spirit Medicines he had prepared earlier had been mostly consumed during his seclusion.

"Then I'll go out and find more."

Qin Yun stood up and packed his things without the slightest hesitation.

Deep in the mountain range, there were quite a few Yao Beasts.

Moreover, he soon discovered that the gold-red light seed in his body reacted exceptionally strongly to fire-attribute and yang-attribute resources.

The path became clearer.

Hunt Yao Beasts.

Take their cores, take their blood, and take the medicines.

Qin Yun entered the mountains.

Just as a Red-Furred Wolf pounced out, Qin Yun threw a punch.

Gold-red spiritual power wrapped around his fist and smashed into it; the wolf's head was instantly knocked to the side, its body flying thirty feet away, motionless upon landing.

"Not bad."

Qin Yun shook his hand.

The old man in the ring watched, his mouth twitching.

Just stepping into the Spirit Nurturing Realm and taking down a Spirit Nurturing Yao Beast with one punch—this kid's combat experience was sophisticated beyond belief, as if he had been possessed by some old monster.

However, he knew best whether this kid had been possessed or not; after all, he had watched him grow up.

A Middle Stage Spirit Nurturing Fire-Armored Lizard and a Late Stage Spirit Nurturing Flame-Tailed Leopard were all sought out by him one by one.

When close, his Physical Body would take the lead.

When distance was pulled, his spiritual power would press down.

When flames were released, they no longer scattered but became more condensed.

With one palm strike, he could already leave a gold-red palm print on a tree trunk.

At night, he slew a Peak Spirit Nurturing Red-Striped Yao Bear.

This thing had vigorous blood and hard bones, perfect for refining the body.

He collected the Yao core.

He also collected the essence blood.

Finally, deep in the mountains, he set his sights on a Spirit Transformation Realm Blazing Sun Falcon.

This Yao Beast flew fast and had poisonous claws.

The Blazing Sun Falcon flapped its wings to kill, its wings swirling with fire.

Qin Yun did not retreat, charging forward to meet it. With a stomp of his foot, he leaped half a zhang into the air and smashed a punch into its chest.

With a crack.

The Blazing Sun Falcon let out a miserable cry and fell.

The ancient existence was even more shocked; this kid could fight across realms so easily... Saint talent? great emperor talent?

In the Blazing Sun Falcon's Yao core, the yang attribute was the purest.

The essence blood was also the most suitable for him right now.

After sweeping up a few accompanying Spirit Medicines, Qin Yun returned directly to the stone house.

The goal of this seclusion was very clear.

To truly condense the embryonic form of the Solar Holy Body.

He refined the Yao cores first.

One after another.

His spiritual sea was continuously expanded.

After that, he refined the essence blood.

When the Red-Striped Yao Bear's blood entered his body, every bone in Qin Yun's body rang out.

When the Blazing Sun Falcon's essence blood entered his body, the gold-red light seed in his chest gave a sudden jump, and his entire person became scorching hot.

Finally, there were the Spirit Medicines.

The yang-attribute Spirit Medicines dissolved like a fire, igniting directly within his body.

Qin Yun closed his eyes and remained still.

But his spiritual sea was churning.

His blood and Qi were also churning.

Gold-red spiritual power gathered more and more, until finally, it had completely dyed all the original fire spiritual power in his body.

On the surface of his Physical Body, wisps of faint golden patterns began to emerge.

Boom.

The stone house shook.

The final barrier within Qin Yun's body was smashed open.

Spirit Transformation Realm, achieved.

The moment he broke through the realm, his spiritual sea expanded, and the gold-red spiritual power whipped up a heatwave that rushed directly out of the stone house.

But it wasn't over this time.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the breakthrough, Qin Yun forcibly pushed that gold-red light seed one step further.

Blood, bone, and spirit—all three vibrated simultaneously.

The gold-red light seed suddenly contracted and then suddenly expanded.

A completely new aura rushed out from his body.

It wasn't a complete Solar Holy Body.

But it could already be called the embryonic form of the Solar Holy Body.

In the next moment, the phenomenon could no longer be suppressed.

The temperature in the mountain forest shot up abruptly.

Spiritual Qi from all directions surged toward the stone house like crazy.

Above Qin Yun's head, a blurry great sun slowly emerged.

Gold-red radiance spread out, illuminating half of the mountain wilderness.

The surrounding vegetation was first pressed down and curled by the heatwave, then straightened up again within this surge of vitality.

The ground outside the stone house was burning hot.

The old man's expression changed.

"Oh no, the commotion is too big."

Qin Yun also frowned and immediately circulated his technique to restrain it.

But it was already too late.

The phantom of the great sun rushed into the air, visible even from over ten miles away.

At the same time.

Dozens of miles away, on a small Peak, a grey-robed old man was passing through this mountain range.

He looked up at the blurry great sun in the distance, and the calm on his face instantly vanished.

"This is..."

"A Dao Body phenomenon? No."

"A Celestial Body? Also no."

"This aura..."

The old man rose abruptly and took a step forward; his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Outside the stone house, the phenomenon hadn't completely dissipated.

Qin Yun had just suppressed the churning blood and Qi in his body when he looked up to see the void ahead flicker, and a grey-robed old man landed on the hillside.

The other party's beard and hair were half-white, and his aura was profound.

Just standing there, he was stronger than the three family heads of Jianghan City combined.

Guiyi Realm.

The old man's eyes were fixed intently on Qin Yun, becoming more shocked the more he looked, his chest even heaving slightly.

He had lived for so many years and had seen Spirit Bodies and Dao Body prospects.

But this kind before him, he was seeing for the first time.

This wasn't an ordinary Genius.

This was a prospect capable of changing fate.

The grey-robed old man suppressed the shock in his heart and even skipped the pleasantries, speaking directly.

"Brat, this old man will take you as a disciple. Will you come with me?"
