I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 122 - 76: The Taboo Buried in the Archives—The Black Mountain Guardian From Decades Ago Was Named Song Chai Xin!

In the vast sea of people, among the thirty to fifty constables...

He noticed the one who he thought had some relation with the Wutong 'Xie Mansion,' so he saw no harm in a friendly gesture towards the lad.

Surprisingly, like a glowing moon shedding faint light in a dark night, just standing there, the unconsciously gathered aura could compare with his, stopping his originally departing footsteps.

With one glance.

Just one glance.

Chen Zhenwu became certain.

This lad had awakened the 'Spirit Body'!

Because no matter the aptitude one possesses, a fundamental trait is the 'Spirit Body.'

These individuals are akin to the favorites of heaven and earth, allowing those above the Great Innate Level to discern this at first sight.

"What is the Spirit Body?"

Jixia feigned ignorance, somewhat curious.

"However, in recent days, I've truly felt my body refining speed accelerate tremendously, even without herbs or great pills assisting, reaching the Mercury Blood Silver Marrow stage, far exceeding others' progress, I don't know why."

Then, Jixia scratched his head, seemingly unintentionally speaking further.

Which prompted Chen Zhenwu to recall Jixia's background, feeling deeply moved for a moment:

"Follow me."

With that, he led Jixia to the archives of the Government Office, showing him the secret scroll recording 'aptitude.'

"In this world, aptitude is divided into Saint King, Profound Spirit, and Fourth Rank. Even the lowest can cultivate at double the speed of ordinary people."

"What takes others thirty years, you complete in fifteen. With the aid of great pills and herbs, you progress even faster."

"You, without pills or herbs, reached Mercury Blood Silver Marrow. It seems you may not be an ordinary Spirit Body. Have you awakened any Companion Divine Techniques?"

The Spirit Bodies in this world are bizarre and only the owner understands what wonders they hold; others generally cannot probe it.

Thus,

The first thing Jixia did upon returning.

Was to expose his 'Spirit Body,' showcasing value.

Then...

Scheme for subsequent matters,

For now, it seems the first step is complete.

"Director, after acquiring a 'Spirit Body,' what level of cultivation can one achieve, or... what official position, what status in Jianghu can one have?"

Jixia flipped through the scroll, suddenly speaking.

"Let me put it this way,"

"With a Spirit Body, you must achieve Great Innate!"

"In the future, at the very least, the Eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief, esteemed sect elder is your lower bound, as for the upper bound..."

"It depends on you."

"Just call me Brother Chen, in this Black Mountain City, with me Chen Zhenwu here, no one can touch you, so why be so restrained."

Chen Zhenwu, upon hearing Jixia's inquiry, laughed heartily, placing an arm around him, making Jixia secretly grumble inside.

Brother? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

I might be older than your father.

But he wouldn't say that, instead seemingly inadvertently followed up:

"Brother Chen, over the decades in Black Mountain City, how many Spirit Bodies have appeared?"

Upon this mention, Chen Zhenwu counting on his fingers:

"I'm forty-seven now, in the decades I can remember, Black Mountain produced a few with aptitude, none achieving less than Great Innate accomplishments."

"Among them, the most famous..."

"Comes from the 'Dao Lineage' Yunluan Mountain, a person famed as 'Ruan Sword Immortal,' a renowned figure who served as the Eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief of Black Mountain City."

"Of course, that one's aptitude wasn't at Spirit Level, but to let you realize the terrors of aptitude, I'll tell you about this province-dominating presence, it's not inappropriate."

Yunluan Mountain, Ruan Sword Immortal?!

Jixia's eyes narrowed, thoughts swirling in his mind.

But soon gathered, his eyes sparkled with a faint voice, pretending incomprehension:

"Dominating a province, renowned..."

"Such a figure was merely the chief of the Demon Hunting Department in those days?"

"So... who could command such a 'Sword Immortal,' what divine being was that?"

Upon these words, seemingly expressing lament.

But...

Caused Chen Zhenwu's initially laughing demeanor to gradually grow solemn.

He glanced around, seeing no one approached.

Then he focused intently on Jixia before him.

With unprecedented seriousness in tone:

"From now on, refrain from discussing this topic."

"The history before the current Guardian... is a 'taboo.'"

"Regarding the secrets therein, I don't know much, only aware... that individual was named Song Chaixin, who accomplished a major feat."

"Could be called, an enemy of the world."
