Chapter 228 - Above Divine

"A-Are you sure there are no side-effects to eating monster cores, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him a moment later, as she was still not convinced that one could consume monster cores like that.

"Look, I’ll even eat another one to prove to you that nothing happens," Yuan said to her as he popped another monster core into his mouth and swallowed it.

[134,655,197 Qi has been refined from the Assassin Leopard’s monster core]

Feng Yuxiang experienced another minor heart attack after seeing Yuan eat another monster core.

"Brother Yuan has been doing this way before he met you and nothing bad has happened to him yet so we can assume that it’s safe," Xiao Hua said a moment later.

After a moment of silence, Feng Yuxiang spoke in a dazed voice, "Young Master, if you don’t mind, can you tell me what kind of physique you have that allows you to consume monster cores like that? I have never heard of such a heaven-defying physique even in the upper heavens."

Yuan nodded and said, "Heaven Refining Physique."

"Heaven Refining Physique?" Feng Yuxiang raised her slender eyebrows in a manner as she has never heard of such a thing before.

Then she closed her eyes to ponder.

After many moments of silence, she suddenly snapped her eyes open and shouted in a voice of realization, "That’s right! I have heard of this physique before!"

"Eh? Really?" Both Yuan and Xiao Hua looked at her with anticipation in their gazes.

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, I heard about the Heaven Refining Physique once before over 50,000 years ago when I was still roaming the upper heavens. It’s a legendary physique that has existed only once before, and the individual who had that physique was said to be an incredible cultivator who dominated the heavens. Unfortunately, that’s all I know."

"I see... So someone else had this physique before..." Yuan mumbled.

"Well, that’s only natural," said Feng Yuxiang, and she continued, "In this world, there can be multiple people with the same physique. Of course, the rarer and stronger the physique, the fewer people will have them. However, there are some really special physiques in this world that can exist only in one person at a time as mandated by the heavens, as they are simply too powerful to exist in multiple people. In other words, unless that person dies, nobody else can be born with the physique."

"In your case, Young Master, the person who used to have the same physique was a legend from countless years ago in the ancient times, so we can assume that he’s long passed away, as only real immortals at the peak of cultivation can exist for that long, or else he wouldn’t be a mere legend."

And she continued, "Does your physique do anything else besides allow you to consume monster cores?"

Yuan shook his head and said, "Not that I know of. Can physiques have multiple powers?"
