Chapter 46: Benefactor!

  The night is still young.

  In the Qingyu Gate, within the manor, eight sunstones inlaid on the roof of the house illuminated the hall brightly. Shangguan Qixue sat in a chair with her body tilted to one side, her elbow resting on the table, and her head slightly askew. Her beautiful face wore a complex expression, and her watery eyes were lost in thought. Since returning from the mountain forest, she had been pondering, until now, the shocking news brought by Tang Qing still left her disbelieving and unacceptable.

  She thought for a long, long time, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out how Tang Jing, who didn't even have half a bit of cultivation yesterday, suddenly formed a Great Earth Treasure Body. This question made her very frustrated, the more she thought about it, the more confused and entangled she became. She shook her head violently, thinking to the point of collapse, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly, "A Great Earth Treasure Body is for those with exceptional talent, I remember when I was young, my qualifications were considered top-notch, my master and parents spent a huge amount of money to cultivate me to form a Great Earth Treasure Body. Every day, I would sit in the Creative Array, bathe in the Holy Spring, and eat the Sacred Fruit, but in the end, I still didn't form a Great Earth Treasure Body. And now, someone with terrible qualifications, without even half a bit of cultivation, actually formed a Great Earth Treasure Body overnight... You tell me, where's the logic in that?"

  But on the other hand, Tang Qing's inexplicable formation of the Earth Body is a cause for celebration for Shangguan Xue. With this, Tang Qing can quickly enter the Upper Realm and gain recognition, and his status will also be elevated. Although it still lags far behind Shangguan Ling and Yun Mo's status, at least once the matter is exposed, Tang Qing's status won't be so embarrassing, and there will be room for mitigation, which is beneficial to both Shangguan Ling and Yun Mo.

  But soon, the excitement on Shangguan Qiyue's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of worry.

  "Tang Jing, ah Tang Jing! You said you inexplicably formed the Heaven and Earth Treasure Body, that's fine, but why did you have to form the Great Earth Treasure Body of all things!"

  The Earth Body, also known as the Immovable Body, the Rock Body, and the Cursed Treasure Body.

  The reason is that once the body of the earth is formed, the physical strength will become extremely hard, like a rock, and ordinary force cannot move it at all. If it were just so, the body of the earth would not be called a cursed treasure. In fact, the body of the earth is as hard as a rock, and not only the flesh is as hard as a rock, but also the meridians, orifices, and dantian inside the body are also as hard as a rock.

  Thus, the problem arises, forming the body of the earth, entering the realm of gas, and the process of cultivating the realm of gas is to open up the meridians and orifices inside the body. The meridians and orifices of the earthly body are changing in a way that no one understands. People only know that since the beginning of the Great Wilderness era, there have been many people who have formed the precious body of the earth, but without exception, almost no one has been able to break through the realm of gas.

  Yes! Not one of the great land geniuses can break through the boundary of Qi.

  Rumor has it that in the era of Da Huang, there was a guy with extremely high talent. At the age of twelve, he had already formed the Tian Di Bao Ti, but he used a full 120 years and still hadn't entered the second layer of the Qi Zhong Jing, eventually slowly dying of old age.

  This guy is not the only one, all those who form the Great Earth Treasure Body are almost the same as him, stuck in the Qi boundary for life, unable to advance further, and finally ending up in depression.

  This is also the real reason why the body of the earth is called the cursed treasure body.

  At that time, when Shangguan Qianxue saw Tang Qing form the Tian Di Bao Ti, she was so excited that she almost cheered out loud, thinking of letting Tang Qing ignore the upper sect and directly enter the Grand Sect. But now this guy has formed the Great Earth Body.

  The body of the earth is also a precious body, but it is the cheapest precious body. No big family or upper class would waste time and resources on an earthly body.

  Shangguan Qixue now feels like... it's like going through great difficulties to get a treasure box, thinking that inside is a stunning and extraordinary treasure, but when opened, unexpectedly it's just a pile of crap. This kind of frustrating feeling makes her want to curse out loud!

  "It's really... it's just too annoying!"

  Shangguan Qixue didn't mean to badmouth Tang Qing, she just thought that guy's luck was really too poor.

  Ben yi wei Tang Qing wu fa xiu lian, Shang guan Qie Xue hen shi jue wang, zai de zhi Tang Qing gao cheng bao ti shi, ta you kan jian le xi wang, bu ceng xiang, que shi da di zhi ti, Shang guan Qie Xue de xi wang shun jian xi mie, zai ci jin ru jue wang zhong...

  But no matter what, we can't give up now.

  Tang Qing has formed the body of the Great Earth, so let's teach him to cultivate his energy first. As for other things, we can only take it one step at a time.

  Another sigh, and Shangguan Qiusuo was ready to go take a look at that guy Tang Qing!

  ……

  Courtyard, inside the house.

  Tang Qing lay on the chair, hugging his arms, one hand pinching his chin, with a serious expression on his handsome face, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his eyes narrowed. After leaving Shi Hai, he had been thinking about the changes in Shi Hai.

  Nine carved statues, nine tombstones, a mysterious old man...

  How did they appear in their own cognitive ocean?

  He thought about this problem for a very long time, but could only guess that it should be related to the curse of yin and yang.

  Just now he tried to communicate with the mysterious old man several times in a row, but the old man didn't react at all and continued to carefully carve the statue.

  Tang Qing shook his head, and then swung it again. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. From the moment he was cursed by the yin-yang legend, he had already put his life and death beyond his control. As for when the curse would take effect, he didn't know and didn't bother to think about it. What else could he do? Would he spend all day in fear of it? Wouldn't that be going back to his old ways, always being timid and fearful, afraid that disaster would strike at any moment?

  Heavenly calamity is unknown, yin-yang curse is also unknown.

  Since you are all unknown, then just keep being unknown.

  Grandpa will live as he wants, living one day at a time, for his own sake. Who cares about heavenly disasters, yin-yang curses, or the nine palaces of carved images?

  Since Tang Jing can dispel the endless unknown heavenly calamity, it's naturally no different from a yin-yang curse.

  "Huh?"

  Tang Qing suddenly realized that someone had entered the courtyard, and his heart was filled with suspicion. After a moment, the sound of knocking on the door came, "Dong Dong Dong".

  "It's late at night, who is this?" Tang Qing rubbed his face and said, "Come in."

  An old man with grey and white long hair, wearing a simple robe, pushed open the door and entered, his face full of suspicion as he stared at Tang Qing.

  "What's the matter with you looking for me?" Tang Qing changed his posture, sat down on the chair with his side against the table, and scanned him with narrowed eyes. He knew this old man, who was the elder of the Qingyu Gate. He still remembered that when he first met the great elder, he felt that this old man looked familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall where he had seen him before. Now, looking at him carefully, he still looked so familiar.

  "This... Tang..." The old man's weathered face had a complex expression, his eyes fixed on Tang Jing, seeming to be uncertain. After walking in, he rubbed his hands together somewhat unnaturally, thinking for a moment before speaking up, "You're called Tang, Tang Jing, right? How old are you this year?" After finishing, his eyes were tightly fixed on Tang Jing, as if expecting something.

  "How old is he?"

  Tang Jing was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to ask that question. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and asked with one hand under his chin, "Haven't we met before? You look kind of familiar!"

  "Ah!"

  Upon hearing this, the old man was initially stunned and then became excited, leaning forward to ask, "Fifty-two years ago, did you...did you ever go to Wàn Guǐ Shān?" After asking this question, the old man's face showed an even thicker layer of expectation.

  "Fifty-two years ago? Mount Maoniu?"

  Tang Qing raised an eyebrow, deep in thought, with his right arm resting on the table and his right hand stroking his chin. He nodded to himself, muttering, "Decades ago, I think I went to Mount Wangu once... what was it for again? Ah yes, back then a thousand-year-old demon was about to emerge, and I..."

  Tang Qing's words had just reached the halfway point when the elder suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.
