Chapter 35 - Demonic Violence Powerhouse, Shocked the World!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The Divine Sect promotes themselves as a sect of Soul Dao to the outside world but in fact, they’ve done some research on Body Cultivators as well. Even so, there are almost no Body Cultivators from the Divine Sect. Due to their reputation, they’ve never mentioned this to the outside world.”

Li Xun explained with a smile, but there was a hint of loneliness in his smile.

‘The Divine Sect actually studies Body Cultivation?’

Li Ran really did not expect it.

Such a large sect had not completely given up on Body Cultivation. It was only because of the discussions in the outside world that they had secretly carried out Body Cultivation.

“Why? What benefits does the Divine Sect have by doing this? It’s a waste of effort.”

Since the Divine Sect had a certain status in the Yanjiu Prefecture, there was no need for them to try to walk the path of Body Cultivation and Soul Dao to strengthen their strength.

Li Ran did not believe that it was for a so-called belief that they had never given up on Body Cultivation.

“It’s because of that fella’s persistence.”

Li Xun seemed to be immersed in his memories. His gaze was erratic, and his eyes flickered with a strange light.

Li Ran, who had been listening attentively, tactfully did not interrupt his father’s thoughts. Instead, he stood quietly at the side and waited for his next words.

“That fella’s a Body Cultivation genius. He’s the only powerhouse who has walked out of Body Cultivation!”

Li Xun spoke intermittently, “It has been tens of thousands of years since the development of Body Cultivation. I’m afraid that there are no more than ten powerhouses who can walk out of the realm in the entire Yanjiu Prefecture!”

Not to mention terrifying powerhouses like the Soul Monarchs. The distance from a Soul King to a Soul Monarch was only one step, but it was like a natural moat that could not be crossed. As such, Soul Monarchs were as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn.

There were even many people who stopped at the Great Soul Master and Soul Grandmaster realms. Wanting to cross thousands of hardships and difficulties to break through to the Soul King realm was harder than ascending to heaven.

In terms of Soul Kings alone, there were no less than ten of them in the Yanjiu Prefecture every year, and those powerhouses were almost all people who cultivated Soul Dao.

Every year, there would be ten Soul Kings from Soul Dao. As for Body Cultivation, there would only be ten Soul Kings at most after tens of thousands of years. The gap between the two was huge!

Li Ran listened silently and calculated in his heart. He was shocked.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why people in the outside world would scoff at Body Cultivators.

The gap, in reality, was like that. It was very difficult for people to be serious about Body Cultivation.

“Among the Soul Kings that came out that year, one of them came from Sifang town, but he did not come from the Pure Wind Sect. His name is Mo Bao. Until now, he has been an elder in the Divine Sect of the Yanjiu Prefecture.”

When Li Xun said this, he felt a surge of emotions. He had been stuck as a Soul Grandmaster all these years and had not reached the Soul King realm yet. It was likely that he would never be able to surpass himself and cross that hurdle in his lifetime.

On the other hand, that person had broken through the shackles of his body within a few years of the rise of Body Cultivation and became a Soul King that was famous throughout the world!

“He really is a genius and a monster of Body Cultivation. In the Yanjiu Prefecture, everyone who mentions Body Cultivation will think of this monster. Speaking of which, it’s most likely Body Cultivation hasn’t completely disappeared from the Azure Dragon Continent because of him.”

Back then, Li Xun was only a Great Soul Master and had just started Body Cultivation. At that time, Mo Bao had walked his own path in Body Cultivation and revealed his title in the Yanjiu Prefecture.

Not long after that, Mo Bao frequently appeared in the Yanjiu Prefecture and even in many large regions of the Azure Dragon Continent. His reputation was illustrious, and he was a powerhouse rarely seen in the path of Body Cultivation!

“He traveled the Azure Dragon Continent many times, and I heard that it was because he stayed in the Soul King realm all year round. In order to find a breakthrough, he has been researching Body Cultivation for many years.”

Once a person in Soul Dao reached the Soul King realm, wanting to break through to the Soul Monarch realm was beyond the imagination of common people, not to mention someone on the path of Body Cultivation.

“Why did he appear in the Divine Sect later on?”

Li Ran asked softly. He was fascinated by what he heard. He did not think that there would be such a genius in the path of Body Cultivation who had groped his way to the Soul King realm.

“It was because he made countless enemies during those years. Though, because of his strength, no one dared to make a move against him.

“Later on, Mo Bao didn’t break through to the Soul Monarch realm, but those formidable enemies crossed that natural chasm one by one and became Soul Monarchs. At that time, many assassins appeared out of nowhere and wanted to kill Mo Bao.

“There was no other way. He could only follow the orders of the Divine Sect’s sect master and enter the Divine Sect. He was qualified to be an elder in the Divine Sect. Only then did those people give up. On the surface, they didn’t dare to do anything, but in the dark, they’ve always been watching him.”

Li Xun sighed. Such a Body Cultivator that resounded throughout the sect seemed to have vanished without a trace after so many years. He restrained his light and hid behind the Divine Sect as an elder.

Heaven was really making a fool out of people!

“However, I heard from the Divine Sect’s disciples that during these years in the Divine Sect, Mo Bao hasn’t given up on Body Cultivation. He has been studying if there’s a path ahead of Body Cultivation. He’s trying to break through to a new realm.”

That said, Li Xun knew that Mo Bao had not succeeded.

If he had succeeded in breaking through, given Mo Bao’s personality, how could he be willing to hide in the Divine Sect and not appear? He would have come out to kill everyone, killing all his enemies one by one.

This was Mo Bao!

“Is it because of him that the Divine Sect has Body Cultivators?”

Li Ran was enlightened. Although many powerhouses had come out from the Divine Sect, there were not many powerhouses in the sect. With such a Soul King overseeing the sect, even if they were enemies with Mo Bao’s enemies, the Divine Sect would still have an advantage.

The sect master of the Divine Sect was not simple. Taking this into account, with a powerhouse holding down the fort, he had also won a certain amount of reputation for his sect in the outside world.

“More or less. When Mo Bao wasn’t in the Divine Sect, I didn’t hear of any Body Cultivators. It’s most likely because of him.”

Li Xun said with certainty.

“Are you an old acquaintance of his, Father?”

Otherwise, how could Li Xun have a way to send him into the Divine Sect? Other than this reason, Li Xun really could not think of anything else.

“I guess so. He owes the Pure Wind Clan a favor.”

Li Xun frowned. He had never seen Mo Bao with his own eyes. He was not the one who had interacted with Mo Bao.

“After he became a Soul King, he went on a killing spree for a period. He took the initiative to find his enemies and assassinated all the powerhouses of the Soul Dao. I don’t know the specific situation.

“When he went on a killing spree, all the powerhouses of Soul Dao in the Yanjiu Prefecture became vigilant and secretly united. They planned to set a trap to kill him.

“That was the most shocking battle of the century in the Yanjiu Prefecture throughout 10,000 years. Many Soul Kings surrounded Mo Bao to kill him, but they couldn’t take him down for a while and didn’t gain the upper hand.”

Li Xun recalled the great battle that day, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. He sighed and said, “Many powerful Soul Kings couldn’t kill Mo Bao even when they joined hands. This shows how fearsome he is.

“The Pure Wind Clan’s chief from two terms ago was a powerful Soul King! At that time, the Pure Wind Clan wasn’t a complete Body Cultivation clan. That chief really didn’t want to see Mo Bao fall, so he helped him out to avoid him being killed by many Soul Kings on the spot.”

It was because of that that the Pure Wind Clan was nearly exterminated. Nevertheless, the others also suffered heavy losses. It was at that time that that chief fell.

Later on, Mo Bao appeared in time, and the Pure Wind Clan was saved. Even so, after that incident, the clan lost more than half of their powerhouses and disciples, and their development got worse, declining to the present day.

In front of his father, Li Ran did not sigh with emotion. The Pure Wind Clan had such a glorious moment, but it was a pity that those powerhouses all died in that great extermination war.

“Father, do you mean that I should cultivate Body Cultivation with Senior Mo Bao?”

Given that Mo Bao was such a legendary figure who was famous throughout the world, being able to cultivate by his side and receive a little guidance from him would benefit Li Ran for the rest of his life!

“That’s right. Mo Bao wouldn’t refuse it because he owes the Pure Wind Clan a favor. Besides, you’re the most suitable candidate. Your talent is no less than his back then. Just based on this, he’ll surely take you in as his disciple!”

So many years had passed since that time, but the fame of Mo Bao was still spread throughout the Azure Dragon Continent. Everyone was looking forward to the reappearance of such a legendary figure, and his name would shake the world once again!

What about Li Ran?

In terms of Body Cultivation, he had displayed a rare talent.. Would he become another figure like Mo Bao?
