“Yes, yes. Is this Brother Yun Yang?”

The Vice Chief chuckled and said, “I am Lang Fantian (the wave that overthrows the heavens). People call me Heaven Toppling Palm. I am the Vice Chief of the General Commerce League. These two men here are the league’s main Protector elders. This is Living Immortal Xiao Yushu, while this is Steel-faced Life and Death Arbiter Gu Jiuxiao. Brother Yun, Brother Shi, it’s our pleasure to meet you.”

Having the honorable status as the General Commerce League’s Vice Chief, a person who was influential and authoritative, Lang Fantian maintained his etiquette, despite facing two insignificant unknowns of the martial world like Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen. His mannerism was generous and noble.

At least, it exceeded Yun Yang’s expectation.

Yun Yang thought to himself, ‘Indeed, the higher your status is, the less arrogant you are. People who act like they’re the top priority in the world will hardly rise up to such heights. The idiotic leaders commonly seen in novels are literally made up - unworthy to be mentioned or joked about.’

He quickly replied, “Both of us feel extremely honored and even bewildered by your presence, Vice Chief. We’ve heard a lot about you and both elders’. It is truly our honor to meet all of you today.”

“Hahaha…”

Lang Fantian guffawed freely and took large strides forward, saying, “Let us talk in the room. Guohai, do come with me too.”

…

“Do you mean to say that something like this truly exists?”

Lang Fantian looked at Feng Guohai, who was standing in front of him in the secret chamber.

“To this subordinate, it’s sixty to seventy percent truth, at the very least.”

Feng Guohai spoke carefully, “I don’t think there are many individuals in this world who are staying here in the General Commerce League and is daring enough to use his life to joke with us…”

Lang Fantian nodded slowly and answered, “True enough. If it’s fake, he’s doomed. And the Ethereal Amethysts are authentic as well. They’re already substantial evidence!”

He stood up and said, “Let us go out of the city tomorrow and find a quiet place to see if the Spirit’s Grave truly exists and further verify if this matter is believable. By then, Yushu, you check with your divine sense while Jiuxiao shall examine the soul. Do your best, but don’t force yourselves. If anything feels wrong, your safety is the priority. Don’t act recklessly either. If this matter is real, the one behind the Spirit’s Grave can’t be an ordinary presence too.”

“We understand.”

…

Yun Yang was waiting in the living room but with a flicker of a golden gleam, Lang Fantian, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao appeared before him. The three of them stared at Yun Yang with wide eyes.

Feeling three incredibly strong forces locking down on him, Yun Yang felt like he could barely move his limbs. He was quietly shocked, but his expression remained calm.

Lang Fantian grabbed Yun Yang’s wrist with an outstretched arm and said with a smile, “Brother Yun, let me take a look at your physique. Don’t mind me, I’m very concerned with the so-called empty spiritual physique and am quite delighted to meet one.”

“Understandably so. Don’t hold yourself back, Vice Chief,” Yun Yang said with a chortle.

He had boasted that he possessed a vacant spiritual physique. It was only a matter of course that the other party wanted to prove him true. In fact, Feng Guohai must have held himself back with so much restraint to wait until now for Lang Fantian to personally perform the probe.

With a blink of their eyes, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao extended their hands over as well.

Three separate intense waves of mystical Qi swam through Yun Yang’s meridians. The three owners exchanged glances abruptly when they were halfway through and saw the delighted surprise in each other’s eyes.

“This… This is really the vacant spiritual physique… It’s so different from an ordinary person’s physique…”

Delight and appreciation poured from Lang Fantian’s expression as his eyes glowed.

“Third level pinnacle of Honor is but an average in one’s cultivation base. Even with a young age, it’s only… an average and of low progress among the noble clans and schools’ disciples in the Bound of Universe. However, if he’s truly a fresh Ascended and his cultivation base is wholly cultivated in the lower realm… it’s extremely precious.”

Xiao Yushu nodded and said, “That’s right. Although his mystical Qi cultivation base is only a third level pinnacle of Honor, the width and resilience of his meridians parallel a fourth level pinnacle Saint… The perfectly filled state of his dantian is never before seen… It’s the first among the Bound of Universe’s cultivators. It’s not an exaggeration to call him a unique case.”

Gu Jiuxiao still looked stone-cold, but there was more warmth in his voice now, as he said, “Furthermore, there aren’t any impurities in this boy’s body. It’s all innate energy… and it’s equipped with the ability to identify useless, unkempt, spiritual Qi. It is distinguishable from the mystical Qi we deliver and it’s honestly a sight to behold… If this is the so-called vacant spiritual physique, it lives up to its reputation.”

“That’s not all. This boy said that his cultivation base came mostly from the Ethereal Amethyst’s support, but any treasure of heaven and earth, whatever divine item it is, poses a limit to the user’s body. The Ethereal Amethysts are no exception. Still, this boy’s body, meridians, energy, and blood - there are no hidden issues across his whole body. This says a lot about his extraordinary physique. It must be true that he has the empty spiritual physique!” exclaimed Lang Fantian, after a momentous silence.

The three men suddenly stood up in unison, their gazes burning like never before.

A vacant spiritual physique! It actually existed!

This physique that had only existed in myths was an extraordinary form not to be for millennia, even in the Bound of Universe! It was the crème of the crème, the one and only.

Based on this single fact, Yun Yang could not be simply killed, even if he lied about the Spirit’s Grave because he was a marvelous potential worthy of fostering.

At this moment, the three older men looked at each other. They exchanged wary glances split second before all of them chuckled awkwardly. Understanding each other, they held no ill feelings. After all, they shared the same mind and sentiment. A target worthy of fostering was someone everyone wanted to have, but there was no need to lose peace over this.

‘Even if Yun Yang were to lie this time, I must make sure he’s safe and take him into my school as my disciple. This boy can be my heir,’ thought Lang Fantian.

‘Regardless what happens after this, I’m going to take him in as a closed-door disciple and teach him all I have without reservation,’ Xiao Yushu considered.

Gu Jiuxiao frowned and asked out loud, “Yun Yang, are you willing to take me as your master?”

The other two men were only thinking, without any thought of taking action but this man was a gem, asking the question right on the spot. There was no one more straightforward than he was.

Before Yun Yang answered, Lang Fantian and Xiao Yushu were quick to speak up.

“Gu Jiuxiao! What’s the meaning of this?” Xiao Yushu bellowed, looking as if he was ready for a fight.

“Gu Jiuxiao! Get your priorities right and do what matters first!” Lang Fantian was obviously leveraging on his higher status as he said, “Don’t you abuse your power for personal gains and forget your place!”

Gu Jiuxiao rolled his eyes and snorted, retorting stoically, “As long as the two of you don’t squabble over him, we’ll do what matters first!”

Lang Fantian grunted, “Can you look at the bigger picture? Do you understand what getting your priorities right even means? We’ll talk about the rest afterward - squabbling and all notwithstanding!”

Xiao Yushu chuckled softly.
