Chapter 05: Spirit Turtle Immortal Physique
Translator: Krukist
Wang Feng's eyes flickered as he silently inquired, "What are the ways to obtain sect points?"
Whether it was to summon stronger experts or to expand the Divine Immortal Sect, he needed to continuously earn sect points. Wang Feng believed that one day, he could turn the Divine Immortal Sect into the only sanctuary in the cultivation world, a place that all other sects would revere.
"Ding! Method one for obtaining sect points: Complete tasks issued by the system. You can randomly earn sect points based on the difficulty of the task. The harder the task, the more sect points you will receive!"
"Method two: Kill invading enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more sect points you will earn!"
"Method three: Recruit top-tier geniuses or (peerless experts) with special abilities to join the Divine Immortal Sect. The stronger the expert or genius, the more sect points you will receive!"
The cool voice in his mind made Wang Feng understand. He hadn't expected there to be so many ways to earn sect points.
"Wait a minute, System. Ling Fei Wu has reached the peak of the Spirit Awakening Realm at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Shouldn't she be considered a top-tier genius?" Suddenly, Wang Feng thought of something and spoke up.
Although Wang Feng had only been in this world for a few days and didn't know much about cultivation, he was still aware of how difficult it was to reach the peak of the Spirit Awakening Realm at such a young age.
In the cultivation world, most people typically start cultivating at the age of ten after laying their foundation. Even though Ling Fei Wu was the eldest daughter of the Ling Family, she had only been cultivating for about fourteen or fifteen years at most. Reaching the peak of the Spirit Awakening Realm in that time was already considered a genius among geniuses!
"Ding! Although Ling Fei Wu has decent talent, she does not possess a special physique nor has she comprehended any (conceptual realms). Therefore, she does not qualify as a top-tier genius."
The system's cool voice made Wang Feng's body tremble. Someone like Ling Fei Wu still didn't count as a top-tier genius? Damn, the bar for being a top-tier genius was set so high?
"System, then what about me? Do I count as a top-tier genius?" Wang Feng emphasized the word "host." After all, he was at the Pre-Mystic Sovereign Realm at around twenty years old. At this age, he should at least be considered a top-tier genius, even if his cultivation had been boosted by the system.
"Barely counts..."
"Is it a yes or no? What do you mean by 'barely'?" Wang Feng's expression darkened as he spoke.
"The host's natural talent is ordinary, but as the master of the system, you can be considered a top-tier genius."
Hearing this, Wang Feng was left speechless. Damn, was that supposed to be a compliment?
After some thought, Wang Feng silently asked, "What about Li Qing's talent?"
Although Li Qing was currently just a mortal, he was still the first disciple of the Divine Immortal Sect. His strength was related to the sect's reputation. Wang Feng needed to understand Li Qing's potential so he could create a plan to help him grow stronger. Otherwise, if the sect's senior disciple was weaker than the disciples of other sects, how could the Divine Immortal Sect ever stand above the rest?
"Ding! Investigating Li Qing's talent requires 100 sect points. Would the host like to proceed?"
Damn, that's expensive! Investigating a mortal costs 100 sect points?
"Investigate!" Despite the pain, Wang Feng didn't hesitate.
"Ding! Disciple Li Qing is classified as a top-tier prodigy."
What?!
Are you kidding me?
That fat guy, who gets out of breath just from walking, is a top-tier prodigy?
Hearing the system's cool voice, Wang Feng was filled with disbelief. The sheer shock even made him curse.
"The system does not make mistakes. Disciple Li Qing possesses the Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique, though it has not yet been activated."
Hearing this, Wang Feng was stunned. The first disciple he had reluctantly accepted as a placeholder had turned out to be a hidden gem?
"What is the Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique?"
"The Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique is one of the world's top-tier special physiques. It grants absolute defense and absolute lifespan."
"A fully developed Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique allows the user to live eternally, unaffected by the aging of the world or the withering of all things. Their lifespan is infinite, and their defense is incredibly powerful. Even if the world were to collapse, they would remain unharmed."
Hiss!
The system's explanation made Wang Feng suck in a cold breath, his pupils dilating in shock. He hadn't expected that fat Li Qing would possess such a terrifying physique. Once the Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique was fully developed, Li Qing would be nearly immortal!
The only weakness was that he could still be killed, but the Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique's insane defensive capabilities would ensure his safety. While his offensive power might not be as strong, his infinite lifespan and cultivation would eventually overwhelm any opponent.
"System, how do I activate Li Qing's Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique?" Wang Feng asked, barely containing his excitement.
He was determined to nurture Li Qing no matter what. As he looked at Li Qing, who was diligently sweeping in the distance, Wang Feng's eyes burned with anticipation.
"Get beaten up."
???
Hearing the system's concise response, Wang Feng was dumbfounded.
"The Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique is activated through continuous external beatings. The repeated physical trauma stimulates the Spirit Turtle Emperor bloodline within the body, eventually awakening the physique."
After hearing the system's explanation, Wang Feng smiled. If the system had asked him to find some rare treasure to activate Li Qing's physique, he might not have been able to do it. But getting beaten up? That was easy!
Wang Feng had already started planning how to activate Li Qing's physique. For example, he could have Ling Fei Wu spar with Li Qing. Or he could use Li Qing as a punching bag to train his own strength. As long as Li Qing wasn't killed, his Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique would ensure he remained unharmed.
Meanwhile, Li Qing, who was sweeping in front of the thatched cottage, tightened his clothes. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable chill. He shivered and quickened his movements, trying to shake off the cold.
"Not bad, not bad."
Wang Feng glanced at Li Qing in the distance and nodded in satisfaction. He had initially been worried that Li Qing, as the senior disciple, wouldn't be able to uphold the reputation of the Divine Immortal Sect. But now, it seemed his worries were unnecessary.
With Li Qing's terrifying physique and Wang Feng's guidance, he could already imagine the waves Li Qing would make in the future on the Immortal Continent.
"Buzz!"
Just as Wang Feng was feeling satisfied, the surrounding space trembled slightly, causing Wang Feng to frown. He quickly turned his gaze toward the thatched cottage, his eyes lighting up.
Although Wang Feng didn't know much about cultivation, as a Pre-Mystic Sovereign Realm expert, he could tell what was happening.
He hadn't expected that while Ye Gucheng was healing Ling Fei Wu, she would also break through!
At this moment, the spiritual energy in the surrounding area was rapidly converging toward the thatched cottage, forming a massive vortex of energy above it.
Li Qing, who was sweeping nearby, was so startled that he ran over to Wang Feng and asked nervously, "Sect Master, what's happening?"
"Don't worry. Your junior sister Fei Wu is breaking through. She's in the midst of advancing her cultivation," Wang Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Qing was no longer scared, but a look of envy flashed in his eyes. His junior sister had not only joined the sect and become a disciple of the powerful Elder Ye, but she had also broken through in her cultivation. Meanwhile, he was still just a mortal.
Thinking of this, Li Qing's expression dimmed. He felt that if things continued like this, his position as the senior disciple might not last long.
"Don't be discouraged. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to cultivate. With time, it's not impossible for you to surpass your junior sister Fei Wu—as long as you can endure it," Wang Feng said meaningfully, glancing at Li Qing.
"Thank you, Sect Master! Don't worry, Li Qing can endure it!" Hearing Wang Feng's words, Li Qing's eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly patted his chest in assurance.
Seeing Li Qing's reaction, Wang Feng smiled but didn't say more. He was starting to look forward to Li Qing's future performance.
As Wang Feng and Li Qing were talking, a terrifying storm of spiritual energy had formed above the thatched cottage, shaking the surrounding space. This was a sign that someone was about to break through to the General Realm.
Although Wang Feng didn't know much about cultivation, he was aware that such a disturbance during a breakthrough could easily attract the attention of powerful experts.
While Wang Feng and Li Qing were waiting for Ling Fei Wu to complete her breakthrough, a streak of light flashed across the sky about five hundred miles away from the valley.
The light landed on a small hill, revealing a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe. He had a burly build, and his face was marked with a mysterious pattern that made him look terrifying.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that just after awakening, I would stumble upon a General Realm meal. It's been so long since I've tasted fresh prey. I can't wait!"
A sinister laugh escaped the man's lips. After hundreds of years of slumber, he had just awakened, and already, a meal had been delivered to him. His luck was truly exceptional.
"I'll wait until this person finishes their breakthrough. That's when they'll be at their most delicious. A mere General Realm cultivator should feel honored to become my meal," the man said with a faint smile, his blood-red eyes gazing in the direction of the valley.
Boom!
With a stomp of his foot, the blood-robed man turned into a streak of light and shot toward the valley. The small hill beneath him exploded into rubble, tumbling down the slope.
The blood-robed man was in high spirits. He couldn't wait to taste the delicious meal that awaited him. As a great demon, he had no fear. If that General Realm cultivator dared to resist, he would make them experience the true terror of a great demon.
In the eyes of the blood-robed man, the General Realm cultivator about to break through was already his prey. No one could take it from him. In fact, he even hoped someone would try to stop him so he could have a few more meals.
