Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 97: Chaos Body

"When I was born, Aunt and the others were immediately able to see that I was born with a special constitution. The Xuanluan Clan wasn’t a clan that would hide such things, so it soon became known to everyone.

Which physique I was born with wasn’t something others could easily discern, but from the way other laws behaved so erratically around me, it was easy to determine that it was related to chaos.

Anything related to chaos is not of a low grade, so this news was widely celebrated. When I began cultivating, I was finally able to perceive my physique. Its name is the Chaos Body, and its grade, as expected, was Celestial Grade.

When this news spread, the Xuanluan Clan rejoiced, but it was not good news for the other clans and sects.

The Xuanluan Clan already possessed a Celestial Grade cultivation technique related to chaos, and with me being born with a Celestial Grade physique, it wasn’t something others could easily overlook.

The strength of the Xuanluan Clan was already unimaginable. How strong would they become once I grew up? That was when, for the first time, the others banded together and demanded that the Xuanluan Clan share their Celestial Grade cultivation technique to maintain balance.

The Xuanluan Clan was not going to accept such a thing. They knew this as well; they simply needed an excuse to move against us.

Initially, they did not wage war on us. They waited and gathered numerous treasures, and some mighty figures from those clans forcefully broke through their limits.

The reason Aunt left was because she had finally found a clue about the Fate Whisperer. She had left quietly, but by now, her departure might have already been discovered, so they might be attacking even more fiercely.

Only when they believed they could finally contend with us did this war begin. At its onset, I was sent away, following Aunt’s orders.

And here I am, unaware of what is truly happening in my world."

Yin Ni sighed upon hearing that.

"No wonder I sense so much Chaos Law surrounding you. I thought it was some treasure, but it seems it was just your natural qi.

Do not worry about your clan. It has stood for countless eons. I believe they might be even happier right now, for they have the opportunity to conquer more worlds. I know your clan better than you do.

Although they do not initiate wars, they always act in ways that lead others to attack them."

"Cough... Senior, I do not know about that."

"Truly? Stop pretending. I know you are not saddened because you were sent here, but because you cannot fight in the war yourself."

Yao Ying became speechless and could not help but rethink—was it true? Perhaps, it was.

She sighed inwardly. Their clan truly was hot-blooded. Yet she still denied being as brash as her kin.

She had lived like a princess, never needing to lift a finger. No one dared harm her—not even during training. Not that they didn’t wish to; but even if someone hurt her by mistake, others would certainly beat them up.

The only person who had ever harmed her physically was her Aunt, who did not want her to grow up like a mere flower vase. She was the only one others did not dare confront, even when hurting her.

"Since you are Cai Xia’s daughter, you may call me Aunt as well, if you wish. Even though this is our first meeting, I have no gift to offer you."

"You jest, Sen—Aunt Ni. There is no need for that. Finding you might be the greatest gift to me. Aunt had been trying to find you for a long time. But even with the Thread of Fate, she could not determine your true location. All she managed to confirm was that you were alive. That was one of the main reasons she sought the Fate Whisperer."

"That much is expected. Even the Thread of Fate is not strong enough to link destinies across such vast distances.

Not to mention, I was concealing myself and this ring. I have many enemies, and if they had even the slightest comprehension of fate over these years, then, however slim the chance, they might have found me. Thus, it was better to remain hidden. Of course, the Fate Whisperer would not be troubled by that.

Still, even if she did find the Fate Whisperer, would she be able to convince it to lend its aid? I doubt it."

"She said the same, but still wanted to try."

"So, what is your plan? For how long are you to remain here?"

"There is no set time. Aunt said that I could decide when to return—but only after seeing my fate through the Thread of Fate."

"So, in short, she tricked you... hehehe. And I must say, it’s quite effective too."

Yao Ying did not know how she should respond.

"When did you come to this world?"

"Seven years ago. Senior, I have read the fate of the Temporal Voidstone, but I haven’t found anyone connected to it. Since you said you were concealing yourself, I can now guess the reason."

Yin Ni nodded and turned her gaze toward Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao had been silently listening. The only thing swirling in his mind was the fact that yet another person with a Celestial Physique was near him now.

Including himself and Senior Yin Ni, this made three people with Celestial Physiques. Wasn’t it said that even one Celestial Physique in a generation was a miracle? Then what was happening here?

Though he couldn’t deny their situation might be the greatest of uncertainties, it was not completely unexplainable. Senior Yin Ni clearly wasn’t from this generation. As for him, he hadn’t been born with a Celestial Physique, so he couldn’t be counted among the usual.

Not to mention this senior... well, he had mixed feelings about her. He didn’t need Senior Yin Ni to tell him he was fated with her.

His heart longed to stand near her, but his mind kept reminding him that this feeling was an illusion—a lie.

And from Senior Yin Ni’s reaction, it was clear she had more or less realized long time ago that he was fated with the person herself, not some treasure.

No wonder she had said she saw only one fated person in the city—she had been speaking of him.

Once, he had wondered how fated individuals perceived each other. Now, he could answer that question better than even Senior Yin Ni.

"You done thinking?"

Jiang Hao snapped out of his reverie at Yin Ni’s voice.

"Weren’t you going to ask something? Or have you forgotten why you came here in the first place?"

Jiang Hao was stunned. He really had forgotten, but now that he had been reminded, he steeled himself and looked toward Yao Ying.

He wondered how she felt right now. But judging by her strength, she could likely control her emotions far better than him. How did they become fated in the first place? She was clearly much older than him—she had already surpassed the limits of this world. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Even if she was from the Upper World, she must have taken quite some time to reach her current realm. Did that mean fated ones need not be born on same day? It was vastly different from the imagination he had always held about fated individuals after first learning about them.

As expected, Yao Ying was looking at him with a calm expression. There was no trace of emotion on her face. Then again, he couldn’t judge properly, as she had been this composed throughout her conversation with Senior Yin Ni as well.

"Senior, would it be alright for you to retrieve the Truth See—well, I mean the branch thread of the Thread of Fate from the Sky Pavilion?"

Yao Ying was slightly surprised. She had left that thread at the Sky Pavilion in hopes of finding any information regarding spatial or temporal treasures. Her Aunt had said there was a chance to encounter Senior Yin Ni, and only those kinds of treasures might provide clues.

If any questions regarding such treasures were raised by the Sky Pavilion, the Thread of Fate would react. But such questions had yet to be asked.

She had also left numerous restrictions on that thread so that it would not affect the people of this world too much. But it seemed it had still created some effect—and had influenced someone she had been avoiding all these years.

When she had first seen him, he was about ten years old and mortal. He had spirit roots, but without someone pointing it out to him, he would have lived a mortal life.

She had wanted to do that but could not bring herself to interfere. She wanted to see how fate would unfold. And here he was, already at the Core Formation Realm. Not to mention the way spirit qi passively being absorbed by him—it was easy to tell that it was a special constitution.

She was now truly curious about what had happened to cause such a transformation. But she couldn’t bring herself to ask him outright. Well, she was sure Senior Yin Ni would know. She could just ask her later.
