As his cultivation grew higher, the Nascent Soul figure within Qin Xuan's body gradually grew to the same size as his physical body.
Once the two were identical, Qin Xuan naturally began the advancement to another major realm.
However, compared to before, the overall speed of this advancement was a bit slower.
After all, with the help of the Primordial Spirit Liquid, his cultivation speed was slightly faster than the advancement of his soul.
Clearing his mind and bringing his essence, qi, and spirit to their most perfect state simultaneously.
Qin Xuan immediately began to control his Nascent Soul and physical body to merge.
However, the merging process did not seem to go smoothly.
No matter how he tried, there was always a tiny gap between his Nascent Soul and physical body that could not be filled.
This was not an issue of insufficient cultivation, as he was very sure that his current cultivation had reached the level required for advancement.
And his physical body and soul were also absolutely up to standard at this moment.
So where could the problem lie?
The result was obvious.
And when Qin Xuan once again attempted to communicate with the Heavenly Dao figure in his Sea of Consciousness using his soul power, he saw the Heavenly Dao figure immediately radiate with light.
It transformed into a golden beam and slowly injected itself into the gap between Qin Xuan's Nascent Soul and physical body.
At this instant, the fusion was complete.
A full half drop of Primordial Spirit Liquid was instantly absorbed by Qin Xuan.
His physical body floated, and streaks of auspicious light began to erupt from within him.
"True spirit-body union, now, am I finally going to fully activate my special physique?!"
Feeling his body seemingly awakening continuously, Qin Xuan's expression immediately filled with joy.
Ever since he followed his master's advice and took the Soul Nourishing Pill, his physique had been in a state of incomplete activation and semi-dormancy.
Although he could still cultivate normally and unleash some of his physique's characteristics, incomplete was still incomplete.
Even though his performance on Blue Star was already considered top-tier, the effect was still far from that of the complete God of Slaughter Physique.
Now, with the fusion of his Nascent Soul and physical body, Qin Xuan's physical indicators had all reached the standard to fully activate his physique.
Therefore, when he advanced to the Integration stage, his physique would be fully activated.
"You are correct in your thinking, then now, I shall handle the rest!"
Just as Qin Xuan was feeling the changes in his body and was happy about his impending complete transformation, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear.
However, at this moment, the voice had lost its previous tenderness.
Instead, it was filled with immense阴沉 (yin chen - gloominess/sinister) and a hint of excitement.
"Master?"
"Why are you here?"
In just a moment of stunned silence, Qin Xuan felt another familiar figure appear above his Sea of Consciousness.
Qin Xuan mobilized his consciousness, also transforming into a small figure in his Sea of Consciousness, only to find Chen Xuan already prepared to attack.
"Why am I here?"
"Naturally, to take over this body."
Chen Xuan chuckled and said to Qin Xuan with a tone of deep meaning, "My good disciple, your master has prepared so many good things for you, and now it's time for you to repay this master."
"As long as you obediently withdraw and let this master take over your physical body, once I recover my cultivation, I will merge your soul with that most powerful native of Blue Star outside."
"At that time, the universe will be vast, and your strength will be second only to mine."
"Won't it be wonderful for both of us, master and disciple, to rule the universe together and possess countless cultivation resources?"
"Why me?"
"Those Blue Star Saints outside, aren't their physiques stronger than mine?"
"Why, why do you choose to attack your own disciple?"
With Chen Xuan having said all that, how could Qin Xuan not understand his intentions?
It was just that he truly couldn't understand.
The physical bodies outside were clearly thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than his God of Slaughter Physique, so why did Chen Xuan insist on the weaker over the stronger?
Why did he fixate on his God of Slaughter Physique?
"Is it because my lifespan is ending, and taking over those saintly bodies will directly lead to death?"
"Or are the saintly bodies corrupted and unable to withstand soul possession?"
Facing his disciple's questioning, Chen Xuan lightly shook his head with a smile.
His tone was relaxed, and he spoke to Qin Xuan with a mocking tone, "My foolish disciple, don't you feel it yet?"
"Your physical body is the legendary Chaos God Physique! It is thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than those mortal bodies outside!"
"Even though the spiritual energy on Blue Star is now close to zero, you have still managed to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in a very short time."
"If it weren't for your special physique, do you think you could have achieved this with just the thin spiritual energy in that small barrier?"
"But didn't you say that the God of Slaughter Physique itself is also an extremely powerful physique, and if born in a world with abundant spiritual energy, one would be an immortal from birth?"
Qin Xuan was still unwilling.
Chen Xuan lowered his head and sneered.
"I did say that."
"But cultivation worlds also have their own hierarchies."
"The God of Slaughter Physique can indeed be born an immortal, but this requires both parents to be Immortal Venerables, and the world it is born into must have abundant spiritual energy."
"Otherwise, let alone becoming an immortal, it's questionable whether one can even be successfully born!"
"Then what about my innate killing intent?!" Qin Xuan continued to press.
Chen Xuan let out a scoff and looked at Qin Xuan as if he were looking at a complete idiot, "What innate killing intent?"
"It's just that you suddenly lost your parents and were so traumatized that you couldn't face reality."
"And then that little girl named Ling'er appeared, and you found a new anchor, didn't you?"
"After that, didn't you return to normal?"
"As for the killing intent that occasionally arises after you cultivate..."
"It was all deliberately induced by me to make you trust me."
"So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning?"
"Your goal was simply to possess my physical body?!"
Hearing Chen Xuan's mocking words, Qin Xuan's anger surged to the heavens.
He valued the people around him the most, and naturally, he could not stand betrayal.
What's more, once a master, always a father. Ever since he took Chen Xuan as his master, he had always regarded him as his own father, just like his other three masters.
And now, it turned out that the other party had never truly considered him a disciple from the very beginning.
And his sole purpose was for his so-called Chaos God Physique.
"It's not entirely a lie from the beginning."
"I came to Blue Star because I was fighting with someone and my physical body was shattered."
"That's why I fell into a deep sleep."
"And didn't I make a Heavenly Oath in front of you back then?"
"And I didn't commit any evil deeds at that time afterwards, did I?"
Unlike Qin Xuan's anger, Chen Xuan at this moment seemed to be toying with his pet.
And after hearing the other party's words, Qin Xuan belatedly realized and couldn't help but use all his strength in his Sea of Consciousness to roar at him:
"Damn it, so even the name Chen Xuan was just made up to trick me?!"
