That night, Ye Xiao sat beside the bonfire and kept thinking about how to solve the problem of his Small World.
Suddenly a wolf howled out and dashed towards Ye Xiao.
That wolf had a body shape like a cow and its eyes were revealing a fierce light. Its entire body was exuding a tyrannical aura.
"Be careful."
Yue Qi, who had just got off the carriage in the distance, cried out loudly.
Ye Xiao's expression did not change at all. He kept sitting in front of the bonfire. He reached out to touch the ground and picked up an egg-sized stone from the ground.
"Phew!"
The stone flew out and poured directly into the mouth of the wolf and then pierced through the back of the wolf's head.
Originally, when Ye Xiao was attacked, everyone was shocked but they quickly understood the situation.
That wolf must have been separated from the herd of the beasts. It was hard to endure its hunger so when he saw that Ye Xiao was the closest one, it chooses to attack him.
Seeing Ye Xiao being attacked, a sneer appeared from the corner of the steward's mouth, but Ye Xiao's next move shocked him.
The whole audience fell into silence for a while and they looked at Ye Xiao with a face full of surprise. They were all strong, how could they not see that Ye Xiao's blow was just the power of his fleshly body?
However, such a simple strike actually had such a strong power. How powerful must his body be?
At this moment, the steward was had cold sweat dripping from his forehead. With this kind of method, killing him would not be much more troublesome than killing this wolf.
Even Ye Xiao could not help but stun. He did not expect that he still had such power. He originally just wanted to hurt the wolf and then give it another punch but...
Only now did he truly understand the terror of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
Previously, although he knew that the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was also a body cultivation technique that was on a completely different level from other techniques but he never knew this cultivation technique will let his body become strong to such a terrifying degree where he killed an Immortal Levelled Beast with only his fleshly body's strength.
Before this, he never used the strength of his physical body. He only used the Spirit Energy or the Soul Force to fight against the enemies. But now, after this event, he came to understand the true strength of his fleshly body.
The power he produced while using his fleshly body was not in the slightest weaker than what he could produce while using the spirit energy or soul force.
"Wow, Big Brother, you are so strong!"
Yue Qi excitedly clapped her hands and ran to Ye Xiao. Her eyes were glowing and were full of worship for Ye Xiao.
She worshiped Ye Xiao not because of how strong he was, but because of how calm and collected he was when he was attacked by the wolf and then killed it.
Only then did everybody recovered from their shock. Previously, when they heard that Ye Xiao's cultivation had been crippled, everyone looked down on him. If not for the Eldest Miss telling them not to be rude, they would have mocked and ridiculed him long ago.
Now that they saw Ye Xiao's fleshly strength, they became very shocked. Even the three chosen Foundation Establishment Realm experts were greatly shocked. They felt that Ye Xiao was stronger than them even if he could not use the spirit energy anymore.
Seeing that Yue Qi's face was red from excitement, Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Go and find a dagger. I'll treat you to some barbecue."
"Really? That's great. Here." The little girl stretched out her hand and a sharp dagger appeared in it. she gave the dagger to Ye Xiao.
After that, Ye Xiao started to prepare the barbecue. After everything was prepared he gave it to the little girl to eat and also started to eat.
After eating her fill, Yue Qi stood up and said, "Big Brother, I am full. Can I bring the barbecue to my sister?"
Ye Xiao smiled and replied, "Take as many as you want."
Yue Qi was really not polite with Ye Xiao. She took one of the roasted Wolf's legs directly and ran into the carriage like a wisp of smoke.
Only then did Ye Xiao get the time to eat a few mouthfuls.
.....
As always, Ye Xiao was sitting alone while staring at the bonfire in front of him when he heard the sound of someone's footsteps. He turned his head to look at the coming person and saw that it was actually the Eldest Miss who just came here.
"Eldest Miss!" Ye Xiao greeted her.
The Eldest Miss nodded her head and then she sat down beside Ye Xiao and said with a smile that looked too lonely at the moment, "Little Qi has become very attached to you now!"
Her smile was hidden inside the veil because of which Ye Xiao was unable to see her expression but from the way she said the previous sentence, Ye Xiao was able to detect some loneliness in her words.
But even so, Ye Xiao simply nodded his head without saying a single word.
The Eldest Miss then continued, "I and my sister are from Heaven River City. My father is the City Lord and my mother was the first wife of my father. When my mother was pregnant with Yue Qi, a great war was being fought against humans and devils. Even though she was pregnant, she went to fight the war for the sake of the city's people."
"That war was very intense and many lives were sacrificed. My mother almost died at that time but she still managed to come out alive. She was very badly injured and was poisoned by the three calamities poison by those damn devils."
The moment the Eldest Miss said the name 'Three Calamity Poison', Ye Xiao immediately looked at her with his eyes wide open.
The Three Calamity Poison was a very terrifying poison. If one were to suffer from this poison, the calamity will descend on them three times, making them suffer from unbearable pain. After the third calamity, the person who is poisoned by the Three Calamity Poison dies.
Before their death, this poison makes them suffer from unbearable pain, so much that one would feel that their entire skin was being peeled off from their body one is still alive and conscious.
It was a very terrifying and deadly poison.
Looking at the expression of Ye Xiao, the Eldest Miss understood that Ye Xiao knew about the Three Calamity Poison.
She took a deep breath and continued to tell her story, saying, "Because my mother was poisoned, somehow, Yue Qi who was still developing inside my mother also absorbed this poison and developed the Three Calamity Body. Then, she was born with this body and after giving her birth, my mother left us forever."
"What? Yue Qi actually has the Three Calamity Body?" This time, Ye Xiao was even more surprised.
The Three Calamity Body was a natural-born body that has the same effects as the Three Calamity Poison. No... It is exactly the opposite.
The Three Calamity Poison has the exact effect as the Three Calamity Body. This poison was made countless years ago after years of researching on the Three Calamity Body.
So, it was not impossible for Yue Qi to develop a Three Calamity Body after absorbing a lot of Three Calamity Poison since this poison was developed after years of research on the Three Calamity Body.
The little girl was really too pitiful. She was still so young yet she has the evilest of the body that she can be born with.
It is said that the owner of this body can not live past sixteen. The third calamity occurs at the age of sixteen and takes the life of the person with the Three Calamity Body.
When Yue Qi was still only one year old, the Three Calamity Body erupted and the first calamity occurred. Her entire body turned black as black energy started to emit out from her body. She was suffering from pain that could make even an adult want to die."
"Just think about it. Only one year old child had to suffer so much pain, how terrifying it is. She kept crying and crying and lastly lost her consciousness. Even then, her small body kept twitching and rolling left and right. Even though she was unconscious, the pain she was going through was so terrifying that made her unconscious body twitch and roll."
When the Eldest Miss told Ye Xiao to think about it, drops of tears appeared in her eyes that quickly rolled down on her fair cheeks before being absorbed by the veil on her face.
It was obvious that she also thought about those scenes. What was more, she witnessed her little sister going through so much pain with her own eyes so when she thought about those scenes, she could not help but sob lightly.
Ye Xiao also subconsciously thought about a one year old child going through so much and suffering from so much pain, he could not help but close his eyes tightly and after opening his eyes, he sighed lightly.
What made him somewhat surprised was, why the Eldest Miss was telling him so much today?
Is it because she still chose him to go to the Dragon Immortal Sect without giving much consideration to his thoughts, so she wanted to tell him the story of her little sister's painful life to obtain his trust? This way, in the Dragon Immortal Sect, Ye Xiao will be one of those whom she can rely on.
But after thinking of this, he immediately rejected this idea because from what he had observed these past few days and know, the Eldest Miss is not that kind of a person.
Even now when she was telling about her little sister's painful life, although she was sobbing, her voice was the kind that was enough to keep people away from her.
Although there was a pain in her voice, this emotion was only for her sister, not for him to see so that he can pity her.
Maybe, the Eldest Miss just wanted to... Wait a moment, is it 'that' thing is coming again?
While Ye Xiao was still in the middle of his thought, the Eldest Miss again said, "At that time, Uncle Zhou absorbed the black aura that was emitting out from my little sister's body just to make her feel slightly comfortable."
"Uncle Zhou was already Middle Stage Immortal Lord Realm expert at that time but he was still unable to endure the power of the Three Calamity Body. The black aura that he absorbed started to corrode his body. Feeling that he was unable to suppress the black aura, Uncle Zhou ran to an empty place, and then his body exploded. He died!"
"Uncle Zhou was one of my father's childhood friends as well as the comrade-in-arm. First, it was my mother's death and then Uncle Zhou's death, this broke my father's heart. Although he loved little Qi very much, he decided to kill her. This way, he can save her from suffering and also save the people around him."
"When he decided to kill Little Qi and was about to kill her, I opposed his decision. My father became very angry. He said to me that no matter what, he will kill my little sister."
"At that time, I also became angry, and to save my sister, I told him that I will leave the Heavenly River City with my sister. This way, nothing will happen to the people around him. I also fought the fight of words with him and finally left the city with my sister."
Saying till here, the Eldest Miss took a deep breath and continued, "From then on, I started to roam the world with my sister and now eight years have passed. I travelled to many places to search for her cure but was unable to find it. But there was still little hope in my heart that made me continue to search for the cure of the Three Calamity Body."
"My world shattered at that moment when I met an Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator who was also an alchemist. He told me th
that there is no cure of the Three Calamity Body."
"Little Qi also knows about her situation and the Three Calamity Body. Well, although she knows that she will die at the age of sixteen, she doesn't know that this is not absolute. To stay alive till she reaches the age of sixteen, she still has to endure two calamities."
"She has already passed through the first one. Now, she is already nine years old and the Second Calamity is about to descend on her."
When the Eldest Miss said this, her sobbing became slightly fast. She was really weeping this time. She has taken care of Yue Qi for eight whole years just like a mother. Now, that her sister was about to go through another series of terrifying pain, how could her heart not break?
Ye Xiao took a long breath and hurriedly went through the memories of three ancient gods so that maybe, he can find a method to suppress the calamity of Yue Qi but he was disappointed. There really was not a single method through which one can cure or suppress the Three Calamity Body.
Although he had already merged with the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon and gained many abilities related to poison, there was still not a single ability through which he could cure Yue Qi.
But there was one thing he could do to save Yue Qi and that was using the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon to devour the Three Calamity Body.
But there was one danger to do this. After devouring this body, he will become the owner of the Three Calamity Body. At that time, will he also suffer from the same unbearable pain that Yue Qi has to suffer?
No, maybe not!
Previously, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon devoured the destructive beam of light shot by the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. He had also done the same by using the devouring ability.
Although the beam of red destructive light was terrifying enough to destroy an entire Secret Realm, its destructiveness became useless against Ye Xiao after being devoured by him.
And now, he had also created his own technique, "The Eye of Destruction" to use the destructive energy devoured by the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
Maybe, the same thing will happen after he devours the Three Calamity Body. Maybe, after gaining this kind of body, he would not suffer the same fate Yue Qi has suffered or was about to suffer.
Nobody had lived past the age of sixteen after suffering from the three continuous calamities, but he would be the only one and the first one at that time to stay alive even with the Three Calamity Body.
What kind of effect this body will have on him at that time?
Thinking about this, Ye Xiao became very interested to try this out. He now wanted to devour the Three Calamity Body from Yue Qi and make it his own.
But he can not rashly do it. At the very least, he can not let others discover him devouring the Three Calamity Body, not even the Eldest Miss.
Although he could not use the spirit energy, he could still use the abilities of the three dragons because this does not require him any use of spirit energy.
To devour, he has to use the devouring force. For soul-related abilities, he has to use the Soul Force as for the poison-related abilities, there was nothing to mention. He can simply turn everything poison with one of his thought. This was a kind of mental energy.
He can also use the Eye of Destruction because it requires the use of destructive energy inside his body which was very different from the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, after all, the destructive energy within his body was the energy that the Heavens itself uses.
Well, there was another ability, the Spirit Devour Escape. Although this ability which he got from the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon requires the use of spirit energy, Ye Xiao can still use this ability as he wishes because this ability doesn't require the use of spirit energy inside his body or his Small World but this ability devours the spirit energy from the outside world to execute.
So, even though Ye Xiao's smal world was destroyed and he has become a kind of cripple that could not use the spirit energy even though his cultivation base was still there, he was not as weak as he seemed to be.
Even in the Upper Realm, without any spirit energy, he could easily kill an Immortal Lord or maybe, even an Immortal King.
