The Solar Sacred Body, coupled with the incredibly compatible Heavenly Tier divine art, the Xuan Yang Jue, was a powerful combination.
It was unprecedented, unheard of.
"With the empowerment of the Solar Sacred Body, I will definitely secure the position of Holy Son during the next Sacred Land Holy Son selection!"
Xu Chuan thought to himself, his words filled with anticipation.
He was already impatient to defeat the other true disciples and become the Holy Son of the Taiyi Sacred Land!
"Young Master Xu, congratulations on your martial arts achievements!"
At this moment, Ning Youci walked over, offering her congratulations.
At this time, the aura of Xu Chuan's Solar Sacred Body had not yet dissipated.
As soon as she approached Xu Chuan, she found herself inexplicably drawn to him.
She didn't know the specific source of this attraction.
But this attraction further enhanced her feelings for Xu Chuan.
The reason for this situation was still due to their physiques.
One was the Taiyin Divine Body, the other the Solar Sacred Body; their Yin and Yang were compatible and complemented each other.
This was why she felt this way.
The combination of the two physiques could even lead to some unexpected changes.
However, neither of them knew this at the moment.
Xu Chuan saw her genuine blessings and smiled, "I must thank Miss Ning for bringing me to this Taiyin Sect ruin. Otherwise, how could I have obtained such a supreme opportunity as the Solar Origin!"
"Young Master Xu is too kind, this is all you deserve!"
Ning Youci said.
Finally, she winked and said with a gentle smile, "Young Master Xu, just call me Youci. Always calling me Miss Ning makes us seem distant."
"Since that's the case, I'll gladly accept."
"And you don't need to call me Young Master Xu anymore, just call me Xu Chuan!"
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to these changes in address.
For Ning Youci to say such a thing clearly indicated that their relationship had progressed by leaps and bounds.
"Let's go!"
"We've obtained the opportunities we came for, and it's time for us to leave here."
Xu Chuan spoke first.
They had been out for long enough, and it was time to return to the Sacred Land to prepare for the breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm.
There were no problems on the way back.
Soon, they returned to the stone pagoda they were at before.
Standing side by side, Ning Youci looked at Xu Chuan beside her and asked, "Xu Chuan, what do you plan to do next?"
"We've been out for a long time, it's time to return to the Sacred Land."
"I've had quite a harvest this time, so I'll go back into seclusion to properly consolidate my cultivation."
After speaking, Xu Chuan turned his head to look at the beauty, "Youci, what about you?"
"I'm going back too... I'll be going into strict seclusion to prepare for the upcoming Five Regions Grand Competition!"
After saying this, a hint of reluctance appeared on Ning Youci's face.
Then, as if thinking of something, she took out a golden token engraved with the character 'Ning' from her storage ring and handed it to Xu Chuan.
She said playfully, "Before I leave, I'll tell you a secret. I'm actually Ning Youci, the current Eldest Princess of the Great Wei Dynasty!"
"Didn't expect that, did you!"
"This is my identity token. If you keep this token, when you come to the Imperial City in the future, I'll know, and I'll come to find you then!"
Although Xu Chuan already knew, he still feigned surprise and played along.
Then he solemnly put away the token.
Xu Chuan understood very well what it meant for a girl to give her identity token to a boy.
"You can safely go into seclusion. When there's an opportunity, I'll come to see you!"
Xu Chuan smiled slightly and promised.
"It's a deal!"
She said, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
"Indeed!"
Xu Chuan chuckled, "My words are always my bond!"
"Besides, I've never been to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. When I get there, I'll be unfamiliar with everything, and I'll have to rely on you to look out for me."
"No problem, I'll treat you to the best hot pot in the capital then!"
Ning Youci was in a great mood and promised with a pat on her chest.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then parted ways.
...
Three days later, Xu Chuan finally returned to the Sacred Land alone.
Along the way, he utilized the teleportation arrays of multiple cities.
*Phew!*
Returning to the Sacred Land, Xu Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how good it was outside, it couldn't give him the same sense of security as the Sacred Land.
This trip had been fraught with danger. If not for the talisman and medicinal pills his master had given him, he would have likely met his demise in the northwest.
This incident also taught him the importance of planning before acting.
He needed to prepare fallback plans in advance to avoid unexpected situations.
The first thing Xu Chuan did upon returning to True Yang Peak was to report his safety to his master.
This was his duty as a disciple.
Xu Chuan arrived in front of the main hall.
"Master, are you in cultivation?"
Situ Lin's voice came from within the palace.
"Come in!"
Xu Chuan walked in and saw Situ Lin meditating as usual.
At his current level, arduous cultivation was no longer useful.
Only by comprehending a complete Heavenly Law could he have a chance to advance further and step into the Heavenly King Realm.
Xu Chuan bowed and respectfully called out, "Disciple greets Master!"
Situ Lin smiled as he looked at Xu Chuan and said, "Did you have any gains from this trip? Why was the life-saving talisman I gave you activated?"
Xu Chuan smiled sheepishly, "There was a minor accident along the way, but the gains were immense!"
"Master, please take a look!"
With that, Xu Chuan no longer concealed anything and directly displayed the newly forged Solar Sacred Body and his rapidly advanced martial cultivation before Situ Lin.
"This, this is...?"
Situ Lin felt the aura and was first stunned, then filled with ecstasy.
"Good, good, good! My good disciple!"
"I never expected that not only would your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds after going out, but you would also forge the Solar Sacred Body!"
"I truly didn't misjudge you!"
As the peak master of True Yang Peak, with his peak Heavenly Passage Realm cultivation, Situ Lin was quite knowledgeable.
With just a glance, he recognized Xu Chuan's physique as the legendary Solar Sacred Body!
The last recorded possessor of the Solar Sacred Body was the Hao Ri Emperor Venerable eight thousand years ago.
The Hao Ri Emperor Venerable rose from humble beginnings, his martial cultivation advanced at an incredible pace, defeating all rivals in his era, and ultimately becoming an Emperor Venerable Realm expert.
It could be said that the Solar Sacred Body contributed a significant portion to the Hao Ri Emperor Venerable's great achievements.
And now, his disciple had also forged the invincible physique of the Solar Sacred Body, how could he not be happy!
"Master, I plan to return to my cave abode to consolidate my cultivation."
Xu Chuan said.
"Go ahead!"
Situ Lin adjusted his emotions and said with a smile.
This disciple continued to bring him more and more surprises.
He had already received news that Xu Chuan had condensed the seed of the Blade Dao True Soul.
That had already made him very happy, thinking that True Yang Peak had a successor.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chuan had brought back such a great surprise!
It was beyond his expectations!
At this moment, Xu Chuan looked more and more pleasing to his eyes.
Just as Xu Chuan was about to leave the main hall, Situ Lin called him back.
"By the way, that talisman was used up, so I'll give you another one. Remember to use it wisely!"
With that, a talisman identical to the one used up before flew into Xu Chuan's hand.
Xu Chuan carefully put it into his storage ring; this was a life-saving item for critical moments.
"Then, disciple will take his leave."
"Go. Oh, and one more thing, don't stay in seclusion for too long. In a while, there's something that needs you to handle."
Situ Lin instructed.
Afterward, Xu Chuan left the main hall.
Only after Xu Chuan's figure had completely disappeared did Situ Lin take a deep breath and say, "My disciple is extraordinary. No, I must go talk to the Holy Lord and try to secure the position of Holy Son for him!"
With that, he shot up into the sky and headed towards the main peak of the Sacred Land.
