...
Gu Tianhe was furious and decided to retaliate against Shen Zhao's shameless provocation.
So, in a fit of anger, he snapped.
It seems they felt it wasn't imposing enough.
Then he got angry again.
As the saying goes, "When a master gets angry, millions of corpses will float in the water." Getting angry is fine, the result is not important, what matters is the attitude.
The reason was simple: Yu Xiyan was staring at him coldly. Offending a powerful force with the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix was a crime punishable by the combined might of ten Ancient River Sects.
Gu Tianhe wasn't stupid; he understood this principle.
Therefore, he had no choice but to endure it.
Wait until the right moment comes, then give Shen Zhao a good dressing down.
With this realization, he said solemnly, "After careful consideration, I, the sect leader, believe that exploring secret realms is about each person relying on their own abilities to seek opportunities."
You cannot vent your anger on innocent people just because you didn't obtain the treasure. Young Hero Shen's ability to obtain such an opportunity is due to his own skill.
You needn't keep arguing like this. Alright, I'm sure you're all tired from this trial in the secret realm. I've already prepared rooms for you all.
Let's rest here for the night and leave tomorrow.
After speaking, he deliberately cupped his hands in greeting towards Yu Xiyan, clearly intending to curry favor with this prodigy with an impressive background.
Yu Xiyan then put away her spiritual energy and walked to Shen Zhao's side, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
Shen Zhao shook his head and said casually, "Don't worry, I will naturally give you your share. Honesty is the most important thing in life."
Shen Zhao felt that Yu Xiyan's performance today was completely different from what he remembered.
Logically speaking, since she already knows that I am Shen Zhao, shouldn't she keep a sufficient distance from me?
After all, he knew very well how Yu Xiyan had treated him in their previous lives, and she would never act like this now.
But now that they meet again, she seems to be deliberately protecting him in every way, and there is no trace of disgust in her eyes when she looks at him.
But none of that matters anymore. No matter what she does, she can't make up for the deep wounds she suffered in her previous nine lives.
Of course, he is more concerned about the gains from the Fuxi Abyss. In addition to a whole Dragon Essence and an Innate Dao Body, he has also obtained some fortunes that he had never obtained in his previous nine lives.
He desperately needed to find a place to study what that azure flame was.
Seeing Shen Zhao's cold attitude towards her, Yu Xiyan only frowned slightly, watching his departing figure, and couldn't help but clench her skirt.
After returning to the room and confirming that no one was around, Shen Zhao immediately took out the mechanism box, then took out a talisman from his spatial storage, crushed it, and used it to form a barrier around the room, isolating the aura from the inside and outside.
"here we go!"
Upon opening the box, a Bagua compass comes into view, its interior engraved with numerous tiny characters, densely packed together.
Shen Zhao was already used to this. As long as the eight true words of the Book of Changes were arranged in the correct order, one could obtain the innate Dao body hidden within them.
He calmed his breath and gently adjusted the compass.
"The Qian hexagram signifies: 'The movement of heaven is strong; the superior man makes himself strong and untiring.'"
"The Kun hexagram signifies the receptive nature of the earth; the superior man, in accordance with this, cultivates virtue and sustains all things."
"The Xun hexagram signifies following the wind; the superior man, in accordance with this, reiterates his commands and carries out his duties."
"The Zhen hexagram signifies gradual thunder; the superior man, in accordance with this, cultivates self-reflection and fear."
"The Kan hexagram signifies goodness like water; the superior man, in accordance with this, plans carefully before undertaking any task."
"The Li hexagram, Fire and People, signifies that the superior man distinguishes things by their categories."
"The hexagram Dui (兑) signifies 'Walking on the marsh,' which signifies that the superior man, in accordance with this, discerns the people's intentions and brings them peace of mind."
"The Gen hexagram signifies humility amidst mountains. The superior man, in accordance with this, diminishes what is abundant and increases what is scarce."
Once the Eight Trigrams compass was arranged, golden characters appeared in the void, radiating a brilliant light that illuminated the entire room like a fairyland.
The next moment, golden light condensed, and translucent auspicious clouds slowly formed, gradually evolving into a silver-white root bone.
This is the innate Dao Body. Once it appears in the Immortal Martial Continent, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful figures.
Shen Zhao decisively put the Innate Dao Body into his storage ring, because the pressure of the Innate Dao Body was about to break through the barrier, and once the outside world found out, it would inevitably cause unnecessary disputes.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhao began to examine the Innate Bagua Plate in front of him.
"This thing is indeed extraordinary; is it merely used to conceal an innate Dao body?"
Shen Zhao hadn't studied this compass in detail in his previous lives, but now it seemed to be quite complex, and he needed to find some time to explore its mysteries further.
Then Shen Zhao took out a ball of azure flame.
The flame is shaped like a lotus flower, swirling around Zhao's palm without ever going out, making it a good object for lighting.
But when Shen Zhao used his divine sense to investigate, his eyes lit up.
"Is this the spark of the Southern Ming Fire?"
Shen Zhao was quite surprised by this.
Once the potential of the Southern Ming Fire is unleashed, it can instantly reduce all life within a radius of hundreds of miles to nothingness.
In addition, the Nanming Li Fire, also known as the Undying Fire, represents hope, can revive all things, and ward off evil and poison.
One thought can lead to destruction, another to immortality.
"Not bad, this rebirth wasn't in vain. I'll keep this for myself and play with it."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhao took out the four crystal stones. After they were combined into one, darkness enveloped the surroundings. By the time Shen Zhao realized what was happening, he was already in the boundless chaos.
In the primordial river of chaos, Shen Zhao witnessed the great war between gods and demons during the primordial era of the Immortal Martial Continent, and the strange sight of countless ancient geniuses falling to their deaths.
When everything settled down, the world was reborn, and all things revived, the spirits of the gods and demons who died in battle, guided by the Nuwa Stone and the music of Fuxi's zither, gradually gathered into a Dao body.
Shen Zhao suddenly realized: "So this is the origin of the Chaos God-Demon Body, but the current Chaos God-Demon Body is not yet complete."
