Chapter 1061: Chapter 657: Calamity Body! (4K)_2
Xiao Fan knew this black-robed figure was a woman disguised as a man, even her voice altered by a magical treasure, and she was inflicted with a strange poison—her background was anything but simple.
“Entangling yourself with too much causality with will only bring you misfortune…”
The black-robed figure, upon realizing Xiao Fan had seen through her identity, reverted to her original voice—a gentle and feminine tone.
“Those of us who cultivate and seek the Dao defy the heavens and sever causality. Why should I fear such matters?”
Deep within Xiao Fan’s War Heaven Tyrant Body resided a defiant and domineering nature. His blood surged hot in his veins; truly, he feared no entanglent with destiny.
Besides, the cultivation level of the other party did not seem to surpass Xiao Fan’s. No matter if so threads of causality were woven, the impact should be minimal.
“Ah, you will regret this.”
The black-robed figure removed her hood with both hands, revealing flowing ink-black hair like tassels, followed by an unparalleled visage of beauty—skin so flawless it seed it could break with a breath.
Yet, in her brows and eyes lingered a sorrow deeply entrenched, steadfast and unyielding.
“A lady of such incomparable beauty, why disguise yourself as an elder to mislead others?”
After confirming her true appearance, Xiao Fan hesitated for a long while before finally deciding to offer the Fla Dragon Holy Fruit.
The Fla Dragon Holy Fruit was a rather rare heavenly treasure, yet it was not included in the dicinal ingredient list requested by Suxin the Pill Saint.
Moreover, Xiao Fan was not short of treasures.
Lu Changsheng often gifted him treasures, including many nineteenth-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
If saving a life could potentially lead to invaluable support in the future, it was worth it.
The woman took the Fla Dragon Holy Fruit, sowhat surprised at how easily Xiao Fan had gifted such a high-grade heavenly treasure to her.
“I am a person of misfortune, unwilling to bring disaster to others. This is why I altered my appearance. Tell the address of your sect; when I have accumulated enough Immortal Stones, I will return what I owe you.”
The woman’s tone carried a faint hint of sorrow.
“You can find at Yuntai Peak of Mount Taihua.”
“You—you’re from Mount Taihua Sacred Land?”
The woman quickly deduced Xiao Fan’s origins.
The sacred lands of human cultivators were renowned across the Immortal Realm; Mount Taihua Sacred Land was no exception.
“Indeed. But why do you call yourself a person of misfortune? What happened?”
Xiao Fan felt her identity was no ordinary one. Since he had introduced himself, it was only fair to inquire about her background.
Her eyes, clear yet clouded with shadows, fixed on Xiao Fan: “Have you ever heard of the Calamity Body?”
“The Calamity Body, fad as the Destined Solitary Star?”
Indeed, Xiao Fan was knowledgeable about this peculiar constitution.
If the Supre Emperor Body and Demonic Ancestor Body were considered the strongest constitutions in the Three Realms, and Spirit Sword Physique or Everlasting Verdant Body were top-tier constitutions, then the Calamity Body ranked as the worst constitution in the Three Realms—worse even than mortals.
While those with the Calamity Body were not talentless in the path of cultivation,
quite the opposite—cultivation for soone with a Calamity Body ca as effortlessly as drinking water.
The terrifying part of the Calamity Body lay in its fateful destiny as a Destined Solitary Star.
Anyone who grew close to an individual with a Calamity Body would inevitably lose their life prematurely.
The Calamity Body condemned its host to a century of solitude.
Due to the fatal destiny of the Solitary Star, those with the Calamity Body were prone to succumbing to the Demonic Dao.
Possessing no weaknesses, individuals with Calamity Bodies who fell into the Demon Sects often acted recklessly and unrestrainedly.
The woman before him had a Calamity Body, yet Xiao Fan did not detect even a trace of demonic qi from her, proving she was not a mber of the Demon Sects.
Having endured nurous misfortunes while still choosing the path of righteousness and distancing herself from others was rare indeed.
Moved by compassion, Xiao Fan looked at her sorrowful expression and decided not to probe further.
A Calamity Body must have suffered a tragic life from childhood to now.
This woman might very well have no one left in the world.
The root of all her tragedy traced back to her Calamity Body. Imagining her heavy-hearted state evoked a deep sense of pity.
“Since you are aware of the Calamity Body, you must also know that growing too close to will affect your Qi Destiny. Let us part ways here. When I have saved enough Immortal Stones, I will send them to Mount Taihua and bid farewell for good.”
The woman sighed. Even with soone as kind as Xiao Fan before her, deep bonds were impossible; hers was only a chance encounter. Otherwise, her Calamity Body would sever Xiao Fan’s Qi Destiny, bringing about the end of his fortune.
She turned to leave.
“Wait, the Great Dao produces fifty paths, yet heaven grants forty-nine destinies—there is always a thread of hope among all things. Perhaps the Calamity Body has a way to be resolved. Maybe my master could find a solution in the future. He is an extraordinarily capable individual.”
Thinking of his omnipotent master, Xiao Fan spoke earnestly.
If his master reached the Longevity Immortal Realm, with his abilities, he might very well comprehend a thod to resolve the Solitary Star destiny of the Calamity Body.
The woman’s delicate form trembled upon hearing this, only to smile bitterly and shake her head: “A Destined Solitary Star cannot be undone. If not for my mother urging to keep living, I fear I would have…”
With that, the woman took her sword and departed.
“Hey, you still haven’t told your na or origin…”
Xiao Fan tried to call out, but the woman had already vanished.
“A Calamity Body, a Destined Solitary Star, coupled with cold poison—how pitiable she is.”
Shaking his head, Xiao Fan lanted the woman’s fate. Even if she could not repay the Fla Dragon Holy Fruit, curing her cold poison would still be a deed of rit.
“I must continue searching for dicinal ingredients.”
Xiao Fan reminded himself of his purpose.
His goal was to find dicinal herbs, and so far, the auction had yielded only one kind.
To avoid Mr. Wan’s pursuit, Xiao Fan ventured to Divine Fla Mountain, where he could begin his search for dicinal materials.
At the base of Divine Fla Mountain, in Yanxia City, Mr. Wan returned with a dark expression. His silent servants dared not speak, fearful of angering him and being punished.
The news of a mystery bidder at the auction who disregarded Mr. Wan and outbid him with a trillion Immortal Stones spread, causing the cultivators in Yanxia City to grow less wary of Mr. Wan.
Mr. Wan’s reputation was tarnished, leaving him even more embittered.
In this place, no one had ever dared treat Mr. Wan so disrespectfully.
Mr. Wan’s party stayed in Yanxia City for seven days until hundreds of Wan Family mbers from the Ancient Wan Clan arrived.
These Wan Family mbers wore white robes adorned with the emblem of two crossed longswords on their chests.
The emblem of the Ancient Wan Clan was well-known among human cultivators active in the western Immortal Realm.
“Why have so many disciples from the Ancient Wan Clan gathered here?”
“The Wan Clan’s movents are unusual. I suspect Mr. Wan, feeling humiliated at the auction, has invoked the power of his clan to find the mystery bidder.”
“Who is this mystery man, daring enough to provoke the Ancient Wan Clan’s Mr. Wan?”
“I don’t know.”
The cultivators of Yanxia City speculated upon seeing the arrival of hundreds of Wan Family disciples, quickly linking it to the events at the auction.
Mr. Wan’s small-mindedness ant he had likely summoned reinforcents from the Ancient Wan Clan to deal with the mystery bidder.
“The items he purchased all originated in the Divine Fla Mountain region. His disappearance coincides with the mountain range. I suspect he hasn’t left Divine Fla Mountain yet.”
“Whoever finds him will receive great rewards from , Mr. Wan!”
“Capture him alive, and you’ll be rewarded fifty million Immortal Stones!”
Mr. Wan issued a bounty to the arriving Wan Clan mbers, commanding them to capture Xiao Fan alive.
“Cousin, what happened that you would request my assistance?”
A burly man carrying a giant sword waded through the Wan Clan disciples, his aura as fierce as a wolf or tiger—more formidable than Mr. Wan’s.
“Cousin, this is what happened…”
Mr. Wan recounted the auction events, and his cousin’s expression grew darker.
The mystery bidder had consistently increased his bids just slightly above Mr. Wan’s, clearly targeting him.
As a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Ancient Wan Clan, Mr. Wan represented the clan’s prestige.
The clan’s dignity diminished—how could they easily let the mystery bidder go?
“Once your cousin catches him, I will beat him to near death and have him kneel and apologize to you.”
The cousin sought to curry favor with Mr. Wan.
Although his cultivation surpassed Mr. Wan’s, his training had taken longer. In terms of talent, Mr. Wan outshone him, so the Ancient Wan Clan nurtured Mr. Wan as its successor.
By ingratiating himself with Mr. Wan, his standing within the clan could also rise.
“Let’s proceed.”
The Ancient Wan Clan mobilized a mighty group of hundreds and began their search through the mountain.
