Above the Immortal Body The Immortal's Astonishment

"Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart?"

An old man widened his eyes, his broad face pressing close to the screen as if trying to peer across countless dimensions to investigate.

"No... not a Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart! It's Ten-Orifices! A Ten-Orifice Exquisite Heart! Deep within her soul lies a flawless Jade Exquisite, the mark of a Flawless Immortal Physique... a Ten-Orifice!"

Jiang Hong couldn't hold back any longer, shoving the old man aside.

The means of a Great Emperor were indeed terrifying—even across dimensions, they could still glean some insights.

Of course, someone like Jiang Che, with his Void Immortal Physique, was an exception. Unless they were physically present, his form would remain shrouded in endless void.

"Ten-Orifice Exquisite Heart? How is that possible??? Where did you find this girl? Another Immortal Physique?"

Jiang Hong's jaw nearly dropped.

Just how many Immortal Physiques was this now?

Jiang Che had dual Immortal Physiques, Jiang Ruoxu had transcended the Heavenly Dao's Indestructible Tribulation to attain a Half-Immortal Physique, and not long ago, rumors spread that one of Jiang Che's wives had endured the Ten-Thousand-Tribulation Unbreakable Calamity, achieving the Ten-Thousand-Tribulation Unbreakable Immortal Physique.

To think that the number of Immortal Physiques across the Nine Heavens didn't even exceed ten—what was the mortal realm's Heavenly Dao trying to pull?

"Tsk tsk tsk, ancestors... stop staring at my wife like that. Don’t you all have your own?" Jiang Che wrapped an arm around Shen Yu's slender waist.

[Ding! Host has tricked seven Jiang Family ancestors, earning 300 million 'Trolling Points.']

"You... this brat has no respect for his elders!" The Great Emperors weren’t angered by Jiang Che's audacity.

"Ten-Orifice Exquisite Heart... Wait, you have dual Immortal Physiques, this girl is also an Immortal Physique, then your offspring!!!"

The leading Jiang Family elder's eyes bulged, his breathing growing ragged.

Could it be... another top-tier Immortal Physique?

Please don’t let it be a Triple Immortal Physique—that would defy the heavens!

...

Jiang Che's smile faded.

"Ancestors, what I’m about to say is of utmost importance. Since you are all core Great Emperors of the Jiang Family, any leak could bring calamity upon us."

Seeing Jiang Che’s grave expression, the Great Emperors, though puzzled, instinctively activated isolation barriers!

"Done. No one can eavesdrop now!"

"Rest assured, with seven Great Emperors here, not a tenth ear will hear!"

Just then, a dry cough echoed abruptly, as if reverberating from ancient times.

"Ahem, what’s this about...? You youngsters holding a meeting—mind if this old man listens in?"

A withered, mummy-like hand landed on Jiang Hong’s shoulder, startling all seven Great Emperors.

Who could infiltrate their barrier undetected???

But when they saw the 'mummy,' their expressions turned reverent.

"Seventh Ancestor, why have you come? Shouldn’t you be resting in the Immortal Tomb? Wandering out like this... the dissipation of your Immortal Qi will cost you a century of lifespan!"

They were also embarrassed—having just boasted no one could listen in, only for the Seventh Ancestor to sniff out the gossip.

"Heh, this old man’s got nothing but time. I love a good story—go on, speak. I’ll reinforce the barrier. Now, no one can overhear."

Jiang Che and the Jiang Family Great Emperors: "......"

Clearly, the Seventh Ancestor’s cultivation surpassed even the Great Emperors.

The scariest part? He was the Seventh Ancestor—meaning there might be six more above him.

The Seventh Ancestor’s gaze settled on Jiang Che, his murky eyes scrutinizing.

"Young man, your fortune is heaven-defying. With dual Immortal Physiques, your future is boundless."

Yet Jiang Che stared back for a long moment before blurting out something that nearly made the old man choke.

"Immortal Ancestor, you must have a lot of treasures, right?"

Seventh Ancestor: "......"

Jiang Che then pulled Shen Yu forward, suddenly energized.

With an Immortal present, once the Supreme Immortal Physique manifested... the rewards would be immense!

As for whether the Immortal ancestors might covet the Supreme Physique for a body takeover?

He wasn’t worried. He knew exactly what these ancients, with one foot in the grave, truly desired.

Currently, the Nine Heavens did have Immortals, but most were clinging to the dregs of their lifespans, sealed in Immortal Crystals to stave off decay, awaiting the day the Immortal Realm descended and merged with their world.

Legend said that when the Immortal Realm arrived, the essence of immortality would emerge, granting eternal life!

Besides, Jiang Che had his Divine Clairaudience skill—even an Immortal’s thoughts weren’t safe from him.

......

"Ancestors, I possess the Chaos Immortal Physique and Void Immortal Physique. Shen Yu has the Ten-Orifice Exquisite Heart. Recently, the child in her womb awakened to an extraordinary physique, draining nearly all the spiritual energy of the mortal realm in one go."

Jiang Che’s words instantly hooked the Great Emperors’ curiosity.

"A physique that devoured an entire realm’s spiritual energy? Such a thing exists?" Jiang Hong exclaimed.

"Exactly. Now, the fetus consumes three to four top-grade spirit stones daily, along with vast amounts of heavenly treasures—yet it’s like pouring them into a bottomless pit."

"Three to four top-grade spirit stones... a day?" Jiang Hong’s eyes nearly popped out.

What kind of physique was this? He’d never heard of such a thing!

Jiang Che took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it near Shen Yu’s abdomen.

In the next second, a terrifying suction force erupted, the stone’s energy visibly draining away!

Within a minute, the spirit stone turned to worthless dust.

The spectacle left everyone dumbstruck—even the Great Emperors were floored.

"Sev... Seventh Ancestor, what is this? Could it be... a Demon Fetus?" a Great Emperor whispered.

The Seventh Ancestor narrowed his eyes. "I’ve heard legends... In ancient times, when true Immortals walked the earth, peerless experts were born with celestial phenomena, capable of draining entire regions of spiritual energy... their physiques surpassing even Immortal Physiques."

"I always thought it was myth... but to see it now..."

An Immortal who’d lived hundreds of thousands of years naturally knew secrets beyond mortal ken.

"What?! Surpassing Immortal Physiques??? That’s insane!!!"

The Great Emperors were floored. Their understanding had just been shattered. A physique above Immortal grade? Unthinkable!

No wonder Jiang Che had been so secretive.

"Ah~ Ancestors, this must not leak. Only those present can know—or the Jiang Family will face disaster!"

The Seventh Ancestor thumped his chest. "Worry not. We old-timers are the very picture of discretion."

A dual-Immortal-Physique father and an Immortal-Physique mother, birthing a Supreme Immortal Physique!

The future was set. Give them a millennium—no, a mere century—and they’d dominate the Nine Heavens!

"Keh keh keh, the heavens truly favor our Jiang Family!" Another eerie laugh rang out within the barrier.

A shriveled elder in burial robes cackled wildly.

Then, space within the barrier rippled as three or four more ancients from different eras emerged—each undoubtedly archaic beyond measure.

"Sixth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, Eleventh Ancestor? What brings you here?"

Clearly, the news had leaked—this wasn't just a case of walls having ears. The damn walls had been poked full of holes.
