Painting of the Nine Immortals

Inside the cave, the Goddess of Battles nodded gently, "Ask away."

"I don't know too much about the nine sage bodies of the humankind. I wonder if you can explain a thing or two for me?"

Ling Xian softly smiled. He couldn't understand why Zhan Cang Sheng had the battle immortal bone. He wanted to use the Goddess of Battles to gain an understanding.

"It's normal that you don't know much. The nine sage bodies are the strongest physiques the humankind can have. Most people have heard of it, but not many know about it."

The Goddess of Battles smiled. "You asked the right person."

"Please explain in detail." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with high hope.

"As you know, all nine sage bodies are powerful in their own way and are undefeatable. Because the qualities of each are different, its strengths are also different."

The Goddess of Battles thought about it, "Let's use Zhan Cang Sheng as an example, he has the battle sage body and the quality of it is one's physique. That is why his biggest advantage is his physique.

Then, she looked at Ling Xian, "I don't know how you cultivated, but you are on par with the battle sage body somehow."

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and didn't say anything.

The battle sage body is known for one's physical abilities. Even in the previous era, when ancient warriors lived, sage bodies were rare existences.

In terms of natural strengths and weaknesses, other than the seven royal kinds of the foreign kinds, nobody can compare against the sage body.

However, Ling Xian's physique had already reached the peak of the original level due to his understanding of the physical Dao, the practice of the Disorder Conquering Fists, his indestructible physique, and from the nirvana fountain.

Therefore, he was comparable to the battle sage body!

"Alright, stop flattering me. Continue."

Ling Xian waved his hand. "I heard that every sage body is equipped with an immortal bone. Is that true?"

"Of course, but to put it accurately, everyone sage body has their unique immortal bone."

The Goddess of Battles nodded and jealousy flashed across her face, "There are many immortal bones, but the commonly known ones are those nine. Those nine belong to sage bodies and sage bodies only. Because other than the sage bodies, nobody can awaken them."

"Unique…"

Ling Xian frowned, "The battle sage body's immortal bone is the battle immortal bone?"

"That's right. The immortal bone unique to the sage body has the same name as the sage body."

The Goddess of Battles nodded. "The other eight also have immortal bones unique to them. The Dao sage body has the Dao immortal bone."

"I see."

Ling Xian's brows furrowed tightly together. Not sure what was happening.

As everyone knows, every immortal bone is unique. Once someone awakens it, unless one dies, there is no way someone else can somehow get the same immortal bone. That applied to just the regular immortal bones.

The immortal bones that are unique to the nine sage bodies cannot even be awakened by those without the nine sage bodies.

Yet he had awakened his immortal battle bone. Which was truly puzzling.

"I once received a drop of blood from Yu Xun Zhen. Even if I awakened it from that drop of blood, it should be the Dao sage body's immortal bone. How did I awaken the battle immortal bone?"

Ling Xian was confused, and suddenly remembered his other immortal bone, "Dare I ask, the demonic immortal bone belongs only to the demonic sage body?"

Hearing this, the Goddess of Battles gave Ling Xian a strange look, "Yes, the demonic immortal bone belongs to the demonic sage body only."

Ling Xian was stunned at this.

He merely asked randomly and never wished that the demonic immortal bone he had used up would belong to a sage body. However, the Goddess of Battles was firm in her answer.

The demonic immortal bone belonged to the demonic sage body!

As much as he was stunned, he was getting more and more confused. How was it possible that he kept on awakening immortal bones that were unique to the nine sage bodies?

There wasn't just one, there were two!

If there was only one, then maybe it was a coincidence. But if there were two, there was definitely a reason for this. Or else why would the sage body's immortal bones keep on appearing on his body?

"What's wrong?"

Staring at how shocked Ling Xian looked, the Goddess of Battles lifted a brow, "Are you okay?"

Hearing this, Ling Xian snapped back to reality. "I am okay. Do not worry."

"As long as you are okay. What else are you confused about? I only know the basics of the nine sage bodies. I do not know any secrets."

The Goddess of Battles then exclaimed, "The nine sage bodies are extremely secretive. It seems like even during prehistoric times, they had existed. Nobody knows where these nine sage bodies come from. They only know that these bodies are powerful and are commonly agreed upon to the strongest qualities the humankind can have."

"Since prehistoric times…"

Ling Xian mumbled, he could not understand why two immortal bones that belonged to two sage bodies would be found on him.

The only possible explanation was his majestic ancient blood.

This blood was extremely mysterious and also powerful. If he awakened the immortal bones due to his blood, then it is within logic.

He then suddenly remembered that since he awakened two immortal bones belonging to the sage bodies, then maybe he can awaken the other ones as well?

Thinking about this lit up Ling Xian's eyes.

Whether it is the battle immortal bone or the demonic immortal bone that is already crushed, they are both insanely powerful. If these two sage body immortal bones are so powerful, then the remaining ones are definitely just as strong.

Therefore, why wouldn't he curious?

But very quickly, Ling Xian began to shake his head and smile. He thought he was dreaming.

Immortal bones that belong only to the nine sage bodies cannot be awakened that easily. For him, this monster, to awaken the immortal and demonic immortal bone was already illogical.

Therefore, Ling Xian decided to put a pin on this. He suddenly remembered what the omnipotent asked of him and asked, "Another thing. I wonder if you know the different forces on all the continents well?"

"You asked the right person. Not only do I know about Tianzhou, but I also know a lot about the other continents."

The Goddess of Battles smiled, confident and at ease.

Hearing this, Ling Xian was ecstatic. "Very well, have you heard about The Pavilion of Three Lives?"

"The Pavilion of Three Lives?"

The Goddess of Battles frowned and thought about it. She then shook her head, "Never heard of it. Never."

"Think about it carefully." Ling Xian frowned slightly.

"I don't need to. I definitely haven't."

The Goddess of Battles shook her head. "I know all the different forces on the nine continents well. Even if I don't know them well, I would at least have heard the name. But The Pavilion of Three Lives sounds foreign. I have never heard of it."

Hearing this, Ling Xian looked disappointed. He thought he could at least get some information from the Goddess of Battles, but he remained clueless.

He bitterly smiled. He didn't think something as small as sending along a message would be so troublesome.

However, he wasn't worried. There were so many forces in the nine continents. Maybe The Pavilion of Three Lives was a smaller force so it was logical that the Goddess of Battles never heard of it.

"It's okay. I will ask around more."

Ling Xian smiled. "Thank you for helping me."

"You're being too polite. We were merely talking."

The Goddess of Battles gave Ling Xian a look. "I am leaving now, the next time we meet, I won't be kind."

Then, she turned to leave, crisp and blunt.

As he watched her leave, Ling Xian mumbled to himself, "The Goddess of Battles is going into isolation. I should go enlighten myself with the Primitive Text."
