Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 933 491: Sacred Body!

"Speak!"

A cold snort came from Liu Sheng.

"Hehe!"

Far from getting mad, Zhan Tian let out a light chuckle and went on, "Among cultivators, Martial Artists get ranked from one to nine grades, and jade bones follow the same rule! They range from one to nine too, ninth grade standing as the mightiest!"

"That explains why your jade bones fail to even graze the Sacred Body's doorstep!"

Chen Xuan, seated close by, had picked up plenty of knowledge this day.

Discovering grades for jade bones opened his eyes wide.

He finally got why his clone possessed complete jade bones yet his main body remained feeble.

The jade bones' grade had to be too inferior.

"And Your Majesty? His jade bones aren't feeble, so why can't he master the Sacred Body?"

Given Emperor Yu's gifts and support from Qin Emperor Sacred Land, his jade bone grade couldn't be subpar.

Why couldn't Zhan Tian pull it off?

Zhan Tian shrugged his shoulders. "Luck plays a role too!"

Back when he forged the Sacred Body, Emperor Yu had been stunned beyond words and begged without pride.

Yet even after Zhan Tian shared the technique, it proved useless.

Emperor Yu simply couldn't make a start!

Zhan Tian himself found this baffling; his only answer was luck.

Maybe he possessed some edge over Emperor Yu that he couldn't identify.

"Does Sacred Body cultivation depend not just on jade bone grade but chiefly on luck?"

"That's one way to put it."

As he spoke, Zhan Tian casually propped up his feet, brimming with satisfaction.

No helping it; this was his boast, enough that Emperor Yu's failure sufficed for his smugness.

"What of him? What's his jade bone grade?"

Two factors existed—luck aside—leaving Liu Sheng fixated on Chen Xuan's jade bone grade. Fail the first, and quitting might be wiser.

"Power up your jade bones for me to see!"

Zhan Tian turned to Chen Xuan.

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan rose at once, drew in a deep breath, and then... Boom!

His body exploded with full force.

From inside, his jade bones radiated a sparkling glow!

"Crack, crack..."

Under Chen Xuan's overwhelming pressure, the hall's space ripped open, spatial cracks webbing out everywhere like spiders' threads.

Right then, stars seemed to ignite in Zhan Tian's eyes.

The sight of that sparkling jade glow in Chen Xuan jolted his heart fiercely.

Little wonder finishing jade bones proved so tough.

The quality... almost seventh grade!

He felt a twinge of envy for Chen Xuan, since his own starting jade bones barely topped sixth grade, never hitting seventh.

Yet this brat, without full completion, neared seventh grade already.

Fully formed... it'd hit seventh at least, maybe surpass it.

"He might even push the Sacred Body further!"

The idea flashed through Zhan Tian's head.

"How is it?"

Liu Sheng inquired.

"It'll do, it's passable! Now it hinges on this boy's fortune."

Hearing that, Chen Xuan pulled back his power right away, joy lighting his face. "Really?!"

"Elder Zhan, please pass on the Sacred Body cultivation method!"

Zhan Tian just shook his head though.

"Hold your cheers. Sacred Body needs your jade bones perfected first."

"Uh—"

Chen Xuan froze, his thrill crashing down fast.

Perfect jade bones!

Way too hard!

But Liu Sheng next to him leaped up suddenly, eyes fixed firmly on Zhan Tian. "It's settled then—once his jade bones are done, you teach him the Sacred Body way!"

"Alright!"

Zhan Tian blurted it out offhand, then caught himself.

"Damn!"

"You sly fox, was this your trap from the start!"

Fury blazed in Zhan Tian.

Curse it, that fox—no surprise even His Majesty called him the craftiest.

"I don't care; a promise is a promise, and with your standing and honor, you can't renege. Backing out would disgrace you."

Liu Sheng grinned smugly back at him.

The old fox had strutted long enough; his comeuppance arrived.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian snorted coldly. Back down?

Never—he prized his name too much—but the pill stuck in his throat, so he jabbed back, "Better figure out how to get this kid's jade bones finished then?"

"It won't be simple."

"Without perfect jade bones, all the rest is meaningless; even if I wished to instruct him, it would serve no purpose."

"No need to fret, you don't have to worry about it."

Liu Sheng replied nonchalantly.

Yet the moment he spoke those words, Zhan Tian's face darkened abruptly. "You're not actually planning to send him to the Stone Cave, are you?"

Given the circumstances, no other approach came to his mind besides this one.

"It's the sole option!"

Dangerous as it was, this remained the only route forward, and he was determined to attempt it.

"Absolutely not, you cannot!"

Zhan Tian grasped his plan right away—since Chen Xuan was far too frail, Liu Sheng intended to enter the Stone Cave on his own.

Should he perish there, it would deliver a devastating strike to Great Yu.

At the Peak of Eighth Layer Dao Realm... Such powerhouses were scarce in Great Yu, and Emperor Yu would never tolerate losing one.

This explained why, even after the chaos he stirred previously and his desire to resign as Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, Emperor Yu refused, and even Liu Daoxin, his frequent rival, refrained from pressing the issue.

"I'll proceed with caution; it ought to be alright."

Liu Sheng spoke deliberately, fully aware of the perils, yet ready to gamble for the sake of perfecting Chen Xuan's jade bones.

Chen Xuan, standing nearby, felt a surge of deep gratitude.

He never imagined Liu Sheng would risk so much on his behalf.

"Even so, I say no!"

Zhan Tian bellowed furiously. "If you dare attempt it, I'll inform Emperor Yu immediately! This isn't up for debate!"
