"Cough, cough!"
After clearing his throat, he inquired, "What brings you here?"
Yesterday, darkness had already fallen by the time he returned from the Imperial Palace, and Cai Kun had sought him out, relaying that Liu Sheng ordered immediate notification once he exited seclusion.
Today, Chen Xuan showed up as well, so he passed along the summons for Liu Sheng to head to the Three Judicial Departments.
"This kid wants to enter the Stone Cave and seek the Stone Race's Mother Liquid!"
"What?!"
Zhan Tian's expression shifted abruptly as his eyes turned slowly toward Chen Xuan. "Are you tired of living, you brat? Do you have a death wish?"
When it came to the Stone Cave, no one in Great Yu knew it better than him.
In the past, he had staked his life to pilfer the Stone Race's Mother Liquid, suffering severe wounds in the process.
Yet the rewards had made it all worthwhile.
Thanks to the Stone Race's Mother Liquid, his physique eclipsed every other powerhouse in Great Yu.
Even at the late stage of the Eighth Layer of Dao Realm, he held no fear toward those peak late-stage experts.
Reflecting on it now, however, a chill gripped him.
Youth had made him bold, unafraid of heaven or earth back then.
Nowadays, nothing could force him to try it again.
"Elder Zhan, you don't need to say it that way. I have some confidence."
Him seeking death?
What rubbish!
Even idiots grasp that a wretched life beats a glorious death; he wasn't suicidal!
"You've got a bit of confidence!"
Zhan Tian shot him a scornful glance.
The Stone Cave stood as one of Great Yu's top three deadliest zones, where even peak Seventh Layer Dao Realm strength rendered him insignificant.
Moreover, lately, these danger spots had turned far more treacherous for reasons unknown.
The top ten were especially brutal.
It was tougher now than during his own intrusion into the Stone Cave.
"But His Majesty said he could do nothing about it!"
Liu Sheng interjected this time, his tone flat, yet Zhan Tian detected clear resentment toward Emperor Yu.
"You went to him?"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Sheng rolled his eyes, baffled if Zhan Tian's hearing had failed since he'd just explained it.
Zhan Tian paid it no heed, though his gaze flickered subtly.
"Looks like the old friend harbors some grudges!"
"And hopes you'll offer some guidance!"
Liu Sheng eyed him, compelled to acknowledge Zhan Tian's edge in body cultivation.
The disparity was vast.
"You mean... Sacred Body cultivation?"
A faint smile curved Zhan Tian's lips, inner glee surging.
As a Great Yu titan, witnessing Liu Sheng humble himself to request aid was pure bliss.
"Laugh if you must; I admit my body can't match yours!"
Liu Sheng glared fiercely, his smug expression provoking the refined man to crude retorts, but truth was, Zhan Tian's physique dominated by miles.
He had even forged a Sacred Body out of nowhere!
Emperor Yu paled in comparison here—his mighty frame derived from Qin Emperor Sacred Land, not personal prowess!
"With our bond, how could I mock you!"
Zhan Tian curbed his laughter, responding solemnly.
Before the youngsters, sparing Liu Sheng face remained essential.
"Sacred Body?"
First time hearing it, Chen Xuan queried, "What's that?"
"Don't know, do you?"
Pride shone in Zhan Tian's gaze; self-cultivating a Sacred Body topped his life's triumphs.
That Sacred Body let him, at mere late Eighth Layer Dao Realm, deter even peak experts from clashing.
"Enough bragging—what's the use flaunting before juniors?"
Liu Sheng snapped.
Then, to Chen Xuan, he clarified, "Sacred Body cultivation is brutally hard; across Great Yu's tens of thousands of years, only Zhan Tian achieved it, though merely thirty percent complete."
"But even thirty percent is utterly fearsome."
"Remember, the Three Dukes and I sit at peak Eighth Layer, but he..."
His finger jabbed toward Zhan Tian. "He's only late Eighth Layer, yet matches us fully—we'd choose peak Eighth Layer foes over facing him!"
"That's Sacred Body's terror!"
Overhead, Zhan Tian buzzed with elation, thrill piercing to his core.
He'd never imagined Liu Sheng esteemed him so highly.
"Feels amazing!"
Feeling upbeat, he went on, "Since I'm delighted today, I'll reveal the Sacred Body to you—even Liu Sheng grasps only the basics."
"Please enlighten us, Elder Zhan!"
With those words, Chen Xuan rose to his feet and offered a deep, respectful bow to Zhan Tian.
Truly, none of Great Yu's powerhouses are ordinary.
Without this explanation, he might have taken a lifetime... or countless years to uncover it.
"Hmm!"
Satisfied by his demeanor, Zhan Tian nodded approvingly.
At that moment, a flicker of pride gleamed in Liu Sheng's eyes; the Sacred Body was indeed Zhan Tian's closely guarded secret, and without some flattery, coaxing him to share proved no simple feat.
Whether Chen Xuan possesses the potential will become clear in time.
"The core challenge in cultivating the Sacred Body is the Jade Bone!"
"Simply put, Jade Bone forms the bedrock of Sacred Body cultivation, but..."
Pausing intentionally, he swiveled toward Liu Sheng and questioned, "Do you understand the distinctions among Jade Bones?"
Hearing this, Liu Sheng furrowed his brow—Jade Bones... actually differ?
Being a magnate of Great Yu, he had browsed nearly every volume in the Imperial Palace, yet discovered no mention of such details.
Observing his bewilderment, the mirth in Zhan Tian's gaze intensified.
