Painting of the Nine Immortals

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

There are several heavenly places that all cultivators dream of. These places are difficult to find and are pitifully rare. In the entire cultivation community, there aren't many.

The Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes was one of them.

Just like its name suggests, this place is where real phoenixes gather and hang out. Pay attention now, these are pure-blooded phoenixes, not mixed blood.

When real phoenixes are reborn, the essence of their blood is left behind, transforming this entire place into a heavenly place. This was the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes. It has the ability to replenish a cultivator, having the same effect as helping them have a breakthrough, and enhancing their abilities.

This was why the Immortal said the Nirvana Foundation is likely the place where Ling Xian can successfully metamorphose.

It was because of this, Ling Xian was speechless.

What a joke, the Nirvana Foundation has only been talked about but never seen. How many people since the history of time has found it? Plus, what if the phoenix that was just reborn never left the area? He would get killed so easily.

"Master, the place you want me to find is a bit hard to pinpoint." Ling Xian croaked out.

Hearing this, Liao Cang Qiong chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, the Nirvana Fountain was rare and could hardly be found. Asking Ling Xian to find it was a little unrealistic.

"Hehe, we'll let things happen naturally. Perhaps when you go wander around one day, you'll just encounter a Nirvana Fountain."

The Immortal of Alchemy chuckled. After he finished speaking, he found Ling Xian looking at him with the same speechless stare.

Ling Xian was being nice about it too. His friends, the other real immortals, didn't care for it as much. They all straight up looked at him the same way they look at idiots.

"What! What kind stares are you giving me?" Liao Cang Qiong rolled up his sleeves. It wasn't for certain if he was embarrassed or mad.

"What kind of stares? What kind of nonsense are you spewing?"

Feng Qing Ming made a face. "Ling Xian is a man that God does not tolerate. How can someone the God is going against somehow find a Nirvana Fountain? You might as well have made the claim that a flash of light will pass by and Ling Xian will enter heaven right away!"

"Entering heaven isn't enough. He might as well become undefeatable in this universe and destroy the world." The Ancestor of Techniques laughed.

"Screw you all son of b!tches!" Liao Cang Qiong widened his eyes and glared at them. However, what the Untainted said next flabbergasted him.

"I don't have a son."

The Untainted had a calm expression and said it in a serious tone.

But what she had said made all of them laugh. At the same time they all chimed in, "None of us have sons."

Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. But very quickly, the smile on his face turned into bitterness.

His spiritual energy was in the metamorphosis phase, which to most people, is great news. But right now, he has yet to successfully transform. This meant he had the cultivation level of the original level, but no capability of that level. He was no different than an ordinary human.

"Please stop playing around, immortals. Tell me quickly, what should I do now? Without Qi, aren't I no different than an ordinary human?" Ling Xian bitterly chuckled.

After he questioned, he found the real immortals staring at him like he was an idiot. This confused him. He didn't think he said anything wrong. Without Qi, wouldn't he be no different than ordinary people?

"Ling Xian, did you get stupid after your revival?"

Feng Qing Ming laughed, "Haven't you discover that though you cannot use your Qi right now, your physical capabilities are insane?"

"Uhm…"

Ling Xian was a little startled and quickly realized. That's right, though he cannot use his Qi right now, his physical body was insanely powerful and he even torn open space with his bare hands!

"If we rank your physical capabilities, your physical body is at the advanced stage of the original level."

Feng Qing Ming said with a smile, "On top of that, you are one of the most talented men out of all those of the advanced level of the original level. You are no weaker than the strongest man right now."

"To put it simpler, not only did your capabilities not decrease. It actually evolved." The Immortal of Alchemy smiled in satisfaction/ "This is something others cannot get even if they beg for it."

Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile. He was originally worried that since he had no spiritual energy, he could only hide in the forest for now. But when he remembered that he had his physical body to fight with, all his worries disappeared and excitement replaced it.

With this physical body, not only did his capabilities not decrease, he actually grew stronger.

Don't forget, this is a body that could tear open space!

"We all also believe that even though you lost your spiritual energy now, it is a good thing for you."

Liao Cang Qiong grinned. Seeing how Ling Xian couldn't comprehend it, his gaze moved over to the Untainted, "Let the Untainted explain. She is the most qualified to address this."

Hearing this, the Untainted nodded softly, "Do you know what the strongest man is like?"

What the… the strongest man is like?"

Ling Xian wasn't certain. He didn't have the answer.

"Let me tell you."

The Untainted's lips parted and closed softly as she explained, "Since the history of time, all the strong men have had a strong physical body. They had to have all three things: a strong physical body, spiritual energy, and soul. Only then, can they dominate all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell."

"Physique, Qi, and soul all must be up to par…" Ling Xian frowned, he fell deep in thought.

At this, the Untainted continued, "To cultivate only one of them can also place you under the Path of Endeavoring and you may even achieve immortality. But if you want to be undefeatable, you need all three qualities. In other words, if you want to be undefeatable in this world, you have to train your physical body."

"The world has changed since back then. All the medicine that enhances the physical body are gone. Training of the physical body is very difficult."

"But to you, this isn't a hard task. You have your books, and you have been enlightened with the path of strength. I have also given you the Immortals Fists of Disorder Conquering."

"As long as you practice tirelessly, your physical body will get stronger. Plus, now that you have revived, your physical body is equivalent to the ancient refined body. This is a great opportunity for you."

"It would be a pity for you to not use it well," the Untainted said with her quivering lips.

This enlightened Ling Xian.

Because he has been so focused on leveling up his Qi, he has been overlooking his physiques and ignoring a shocking truth.

Every single powerful man in history has had a very powerful physique. Especially those who were considered undefeatable for their time, they were all insane strong physically.

Using these real immortals as an example - though none of them reached the peak of their physique, they were all incomparable terrifying and none of them were considered weak.

After all, the physical body was the boat and Qi was the oars. With a strong oar but a weak boat, who could continue traveling on this path?

Only when one has a sturdy boat and powerful oars, can one cross the ocean and reach one's destination!

To put it simply, the physical body is very important. Especially to those who want to be undefeatable in this world, a powerful body cannot be overlooked.

Ling Xian had his book for physical refinement and the Immortal Fists. Plus, after his revival, his physical body was now equivalent to a refined more solid from the ancient times. After having these three great qualities, if he still doesn't train his physiques, then wouldn't he be wasting a god-given opportunity?
