The allure of great profit shook the entire hall!
Seeing this, Zhuge Ling Tian was deeply moved. He knew that his Fourth Master acted this way for two reasons: firstly, to alleviate his guilt over killing the First Prince, and secondly, if the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom joined the Xuan Alliance, no one within the kingdom would dare to harm him in the future.
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhuge Yuan also understood this and sincerely thanked the Golden Purple Dragon's clone. With his lifelong love now dead, Zhuge Ling Tian's future was his greatest concern.
"Hoo~"
Faced with such temptation, Zhuge Wu Shuang clearly had no resistance. "Good!"
"Esteemed sir, I, on behalf of the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom, am willing to join the Xuan Alliance!"
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone smirked. This outcome was not unexpected; unless Zhuge Wu Shuang was a fool.
"Very good!"
"On behalf of my true form, I welcome you to join the Xuan Alliance!"
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone smiled slightly, then looked at Zhuge Wu Shuang, his eighth disciple. "Aren't you curious why my true form took Ling Tian as a disciple?"
"Hmm."
"This........."
Clearly, the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's question stumped Zhuge Yuan and all the Ancestors.
Indeed!
Ling Tian's talent was decent, but what kind of existence was the Xuan Alliance Leader? As for Zhuge Ling Tian, his face flushed. He still had no idea about this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
"Sir, may I ask why the Alliance Leader did so?"
Clearing his throat, Zhuge Wu Shuang asked the Golden Purple Dragon's clone. Zhuge Yuan and the other Ancestors also pricked up their ears, clearly eager to know the answer.
"Perhaps you do not yet know."
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone curled his lips. It was the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body! "Ling Tian actually possesses a physique unlike any other. He is a unique Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!"
"Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!?"
Upon hearing the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's words, everyone was stunned. They had clearly never heard this name before.
"Let me put it this way."
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone was not surprised by their reaction and continued to explain. "The so-called Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is an extremely rare and hard-to-find physique. It possesses an incredibly strong adaptability to various energies and is invincible regardless of its cultivation realm. Fighting against opponents of higher realms is commonplace!"
"The only regret is that Ling Tian's physique has not yet been activated."
"If Ling Tian's physique is activated, his future cultivation will surely soar to the heavens!"
Speaking to this point, he looked at Zhuge Ling Tian before him. "I believe my true form sent me here precisely to help Ling Tian activate his physique."
"Oh!?"
Upon hearing the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's words, the people of the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom turned their gazes towards the ten-year-old Ling Tian.
"Sir, you can activate Ling Tian's physique!?"
Zhuge Wu Shuang's eyes sparkled as he looked at Zhuge Ling Tian. If this were true, their Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom would truly enter an era of great prosperity.
"It should be possible. I can only try."
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone's gaze then fell upon Zhuge Ling Tian. Activating the bloodline of this eighth disciple was far more difficult than for that girl, Xiao Xue.
Subsequently, a drop of essence blood appeared at the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's fingertip. For his disciple, he would naturally not be stingy. He then flipped his right hand, and another drop of golden blood appeared – it was the essence blood of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass.
"Ling Tian, steady your mind."
"Leave the rest to me!"
With that, the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's expression became serious, as this was his first time attempting to activate a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. He was not entirely confident and could only do his best.
After completing the preparations, he flipped his right hand again, and a hundred glowing orbs appeared in his hand.
"These are... a hundred strands of demonic origin, and the concentration is identical to the 81st level of the Myriad Demon Tower!"
"Good heavens, what kind of physique does Ling Tian's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body possess to require a hundred strands of 81st-level demonic origin?!"
In an instant, the many Ancestors of the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom were truly shocked. Of course, if they knew the origin of the two drops of essence blood in the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's hand, who knew what their reaction would be.
It was a joke!
Whether it was the Golden Purple Dragon's clone's essence blood or the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass essence blood, both were at least a hundred times more precious than a hundred strands of demonic origin!
"Ready!"
The Golden Purple Dragon's clone's expression was solemn. He first infused his own essence blood into his eighth disciple's brow. The next moment, a deafening roar resounded!
A dragon's roar immediately exploded!
Terrifying dragon might spread in all directions, stunning Zhuge Yuan and all the Ancestors of the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom.
They then looked at the Golden Purple Dragon's clone with surprised eyes!
My god, such a powerful fluctuation emanated from a single drop of essence blood. What kind of existence was this sir?
And!
Most importantly, this person was merely a clone of the Xuan Alliance Leader.
Damn it!
If that were the case, wouldn't the Xuan Alliance Leader be even more formidable!
Buzz~~
The moment the dragon roar subsided, another drop of golden essence blood was infused into Ling Tian's brow. The two drops of essence blood merged, causing Ling Tian's face to turn extremely red, as if he were a balloon about to explode.
Zhuge Yuan swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on his son, worried that he might explode at any moment.
Before everyone could even react!
The next moment, the Golden Purple Dragon's clone poured all one hundred strands of demonic origin into Ling Tian's body.
Zhuge Yuan, "!!!!!!"
All the Immortal Kingdom Ancestors, "!!!!!!"
My heavens!
Who am I? Where am I??
One hundred strands of demonic origin from the 81st level of the Myriad Demon Tower, directly poured into his body. Was this... madness?!
Rumbling~~
In an instant, terrifying energy erupted from within Ling Tian.
One breath!
Ten breaths! Fifty breaths!!
At a certain moment, a subtle cracking sound, like a breaking restraint, was heard from within Ling Tian's body. Though faint, it was undeniable.
Then...
With a buzz, a unique aura spread outwards from Ling Tian as the center. His realm, previously at the fifth level of the Venerable stage, soared as if on a rocket.
Fifth level Venerable!
Seventh level Venerable!
Ninth level Venerable!
...
First level Void Ancestor!
Third level Void Ancestor!
...
Just like this, after about a quarter of an hour.
Ling Tian's aura stabilized, reaching the fifth level of the Void Ancestor realm. Moreover, he felt completely different from before.
Zhuge Yuan and the Ancestors of the Xuan Ji Immortal Kingdom stared, dumbfounded. They could not believe what they were witnessing. Ling Tian had directly advanced from the fifth level of the Venerable stage to the fifth level of the Void Ancestor realm. Damn it, was that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body really so powerful!
"Hoo~"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Tian opened his eyes and felt the surging energy. When he sensed his own realm, his face was filled with disbelief. "I'm... a fifth-level Void Ancestor!?"
