A sense of doubt welled up in his mind.
You must understand that this cursed body of mine is not something that ordinary people can break free from; only two types of people might have a sliver of hope.
First, there are the absolute powerhouses in the Immortal Realm. Their strength is immense and terrifying, suppressing all things in the world and transcending the mortal realm.
They also possess great fortune, so no disaster or misfortune can get close to them.
The second type is those who possess the eighteen great imperial bodies, defying the heavens.
Such people are undoubtedly among the strongest in the future of the immortal realm. They seem to be born with the ability to directly resist all misfortunes, disasters, and calamities, making them exceptionally blessed.
However, when that person examined Yuan Zhexian, he couldn't help but feel that he didn't seem like the kind of supremely powerful person.
Nevertheless, the man spoke up, "Fellow cultivator, are you sure you want to give it a try?"
Without hesitation, Yuan Zhexian immediately and firmly replied, "Yes, I'm sure."
"However, I have one request."
He paused for a moment, then said, "If I try and emerge unharmed, then you! Follow me."
Yuan Zhexian's tone was earnest and resolute.
Finally, Yuan Zhexian added, "If I am ultimately plagued by misfortune and die, I will have absolutely no complaints."
These words struck the man like a thunderclap.
The fact that Yuan Zhexian was willing to gamble with his own life shows a rare and courageous spirit.
With such courage, if he hadn't perished along the way, he would surely have become a great figure in the immortal realm.
Then, the man stared at Yuan Zhexian, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said, "Alright, it's a deal. If you are truly alright, I will follow you."
His voice was strong and clear, as if he were making a solemn vow.
Yuan Zhexian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded without hesitation to indicate his agreement.
Immediately afterwards, the man bowed to Yuan Zhexian with elegant and respectful movements, and said, "Greetings, fellow immortal."
However, Yuan Zhexian stood there as still as a statue, without any reaction, as if none of this concerned him.
The man was slightly surprised upon seeing this, but he did not show it.
He bowed to Yuan Zhexian again, this time with an even more humble tone: "Greetings, fellow immortal."
However, Yuan Zhexian remained motionless, showing no abnormality whatsoever.
Finally, the man took a deep breath, straightened his back, bowed, and said in an extremely formal manner, "Lord Shen greets fellow immortal."
However, Yuan Zhexian remained unresponsive, as if everything Shen Gong had said and done was of no importance to him.
Seeing this, Shen Gong's astonishment deepened, but at the same time he became even more convinced that Yuan Zhexian was a person with an imperial body.
Moreover, he possesses such great courage; such a person is absolutely worthy of Shen Gong's emulation.
After a brief silence, Shen Gong asked, "May I ask your name?"
There was a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Yuan Zhexian replied expressionlessly, "Yuan Zhexian!"
"The surname Yuan?"
The surname gave Shen Gong a feeling that he had heard it somewhere before, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
After that, Shen Gong quickly put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind and stopped pondering those complicated matters.
Without hesitation, he put three fingers together, pointed them straight to the sky, and then said without hesitation, "Heaven above, I, Shen Gong, hereby swear that I will follow Yuan Zhe Xian for all eternity."
"From now on, I will take Yuan Zhexian's frankness as my guide and never deviate from it in the slightest."
"If I disobey, my Dao heart will be shattered, and my body and soul will be reduced to ashes and vanish into the world!"
As his words fell, it seemed as if the whole world trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a mysterious and powerful force gathered from all directions and surrounded Shen Gong's body.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian suddenly felt a bright sensation in his heart, as if he had received some important information.
He immediately understood that this was a signal that the oath of the Heavenly Dao of the vast world had been successfully concluded.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Gong's voice came again: "Master, may I know what kind of imperial body you possess?"
Upon hearing this question, Yuan Zhexian did not hesitate at all and immediately replied, "From now on, you may address me as Young Master."
Now that Shen Gong has become his follower, he will eventually find out about his physical condition.
Rather than letting him remain curious, it's better to satisfy his curiosity now.
Then, Yuan Zhexian slowly spoke, saying, "What I possess is the Chaos Immortal Body."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Gong's eyes widened in disbelief.
He never imagined that Yuan Zhexian would possess such a powerful physique—the Chaos Immortal Body!
You should know that among these eighteen imperial bodies, the Chaos Immortal Body is ranked number one!
Surprisingly, Yuan Zhexian actually possessed a Chaos Immortal Body.
At this moment, Shen Gong was overjoyed, even though he had just tested Yuan Zhexian with his mortal body and found out that he had the body of an emperor.
But I never imagined that he actually had the Chaos Immortal Body. This is an incredible opportunity!
Before Shen Gong could recover from his shock, Yuan Zhexian spoke again: "Supreme Immortal Bone!"
These four words struck Shen Gong like a bolt from the blue, creating a storm in his heart. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He stammered, "Young Master, you...you...you actually...you actually possess two kinds of Imperial Physique?"
However, that wasn't all. Immediately afterward, Yuan Zhexian uttered another sentence: "And there's Jue Tong."
This sentence was like the last straw, completely breaking Shen Gong's psychological defenses.
At this moment, he began to doubt himself, wondering whether he was destined for misfortune or good fortune.
After all, the person he was following actually possessed three imperial bodies, and they were the three most powerful and terrifying physiques!
Among them, the Supreme Immortal Bone and Absolute Eye physiques have only appeared once or twice since the birth of the Immortal Realm.
Even the true extent of the magical power they contain remains unknown, making them incredibly mysterious.
That's why these two constitutions are ranked last.
However, according to legend, the true power of the Supreme Immortal Bone and the Peerless Eye is actually not much less than that of the first three immortal bodies.
"It's numb, it's numb..."
After a struggle within himself, Shen Gong could only express his feelings in these four simple words.
He seemed to see his future situation, and a surge of passion and anticipation welled up in his heart.
