Then the Eighth Ancestor, the Ninth Ancestor, Yuan Honglian, Yuan Cangsheng, Yuan Changsheng, and Yuan Zhexian all bowed deeply to the third jade coffin and said in unison, "Greetings, Ancient Ancestor!"
Just then, a gentle voice slowly emanated from the third jade coffin.
However, although the voice sounded very gentle, the power it contained was as vast and boundless as the power of heaven and earth, causing the souls of everyone present to tremble involuntarily.
“Little fellow, you are truly the chosen one that our clan has been waiting for for countless years! Every single thing that has happened to you is nothing short of a miracle to others.”
Yuan Zhexian stood there quietly, without responding, and continued to wait for the ancient ancestor to say what he was going to say next.
After a moment, the Ancient Ancestor spoke again, "We already know something about the World Tree on your body. However, we were truly shocked to learn that you also possess an Eternal Body. Could you tell us about the origin of this Eternal Body?"
As soon as the Ancient Ancestor finished speaking, even the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors standing to the side instantly showed expressions of utter shock. They clearly knew of the existence of this Eternal Body.
In contrast, Yuan Honglian, Yuan Cangsheng, and Yuan Changsheng looked completely bewildered, having no idea what this Eternal Body was.
Just then, the Ninth Ancestor slowly spoke up and explained, "You should be familiar with the three thousand types of physiques in the 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths,' right?"
"However, when these physiques reach the Immortal Realm, after being nourished and baptized by the power of immortal spirits, they will gradually shed their mortal bodies and transform into immortal bodies."
"After that, people in the immortal realm called it the 'Three Thousand Immortal Bodies'."
"However, it should be noted that above these three thousand immortal bodies, there exist eighteen even more powerful imperial bodies!"
"The so-called Emperor Body is the physique that has a very high probability of being promoted to Immortal Emperor."
"Among these eighteen imperial bodies, the one ranked first is the Chaos Immortal Body!"
After the Ninth Ancestor finished speaking, his gaze swept lightly over Yuan Zhexian standing to the side.
After a brief pause, he continued, "Of course, even the eighteen great imperial bodies, which are so powerful, are not at the pinnacle of power."
"Above these eighteen imperial bodies, there are three remarkable celestial bodies! Their names alone reveal their significance; these three celestial bodies are bodies of the Heavenly Dao, namely, the Primordial Celestial Body, the Destiny Celestial Body, and the Origin Celestial Body. Each of these celestial bodies contains endless mysteries and terrifying power."
As the Ninth Ancestor's words continued to be heard, everyone present felt their hearts beating faster and faster, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.
Their eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with astonishment, as they secretly wondered if such a miraculous and powerful physique could exist in this world.
Finally, the Ninth Ancestor took a deep breath and solemnly continued, "And above these three celestial bodies is the legendary Eternal Body!"
"This body possesses the qualities of permanence, indestructibility, infinity, without beginning, and without end; it can be said to be the true body of the Great Dao!"
"Once someone possesses this physique, he will inevitably become the most supreme being in the entire world, ruling over all things and controlling everything! Or rather, he is the Dao, and the Dao is him."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Zhexian.
For a moment, the surroundings became completely silent, as if time itself had frozen, with only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing clearly audible.
At that moment, the previously quiet atmosphere was broken by Yuan Honglian. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Ninth Ancestor, and she asked softly, "Then, Ninth Ancestor, how do you know about these things..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the Ninth Ancestor.
The Ninth Ancestor looked slightly flustered and stammered, "Uh... this... well... actually, I only discovered these records by chance when I was flipping through the ancient books of our clan. That's right, that's it!"
However, his stammering and incoherent manner was hardly convincing.
Yuan Honglian blinked her beautiful, jewel-like eyes and asked again, "Really? Ninth Ancestor, you can't be lying to us."
Faced with Yuan Honglian's questioning, the Ninth Ancestor quickly straightened up and answered firmly and decisively, "Of course it's true! Absolutely true!"
Despite the Ninth Patriarch's confident demeanor, the people present were still filled with doubt, clearly not entirely believing what he said.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Yuan Zhexian, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward, respectfully bowed to the ancient ancestor again, and said slowly, "Ancient Ancestor, since my birth, I have not only possessed three heaven-defying physiques and the rare treasure of the Chaos Bell, but even my sea of consciousness is naturally equipped with an eternal immortal scripture."
At this point, Yuan Zhexian paused slightly, looked around, and continued, "The conditions for the formation of the Eternal Body are extremely strict. It is no exaggeration to say that apart from me, there is probably no other person in the world who can possess such a physique."
"To achieve an eternal body, one must possess three supreme physical qualities simultaneously, which encompass the body, soul, and blood."
"In addition, it also needs to be fused with the eternal power nurtured by the Eternal Flower and the Eternal Immortal Scripture in order to successfully transform into this eternal body."
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, not only were the Eighth Ancestor, the Ninth Ancestor, and others dumbfounded, but even the Ancient Ancestor, who had always been unassuming, mysterious, and incredibly powerful, couldn't help but show surprise.
At that moment, Yuan Changsheng, standing to the side, was secretly overjoyed, muttering to himself, "Haha, my seed is still the best after all. Look at this celestial being, possessing such uniquely endowed physical conditions."
Then, the ancient ancestor spoke again, saying, "Indeed, every single thing you just mentioned is a rare treasure in the world. Not to mention gathering them all in one body, even just one of them is enough to shake the world."
"However, such a miracle actually happened to you. It has to be said that you are a rare and extraordinary existence."
At this moment, the Ninth Ancestor could not suppress his curiosity and asked, "The seventh heavenly tribulation that descended was formed by the yin and yang energies, and its power was astonishing. Why did this heavenly tribulation not invade your body?"
"And looking at you now, you seem completely unharmed, as if you were not affected at all. What exactly happened?"
Yuan Zhexian smiled slightly and replied unhurriedly, "The reason is nothing more than that I possess this item."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly extended his right hand, and a bead emitting a dazzling orange-yellow light appeared before everyone's eyes.
"The Origin Pearl of the Earth!"
Upon seeing the bead, the Eighth and Ninth Patriarchs exclaimed in unison.
