I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?-Chapter 586 - 316: The secret of Spiritual Body, Sword Intent Follows the Heart_1

"I suppose I can trust your outrageous tales for now."

Xu Yan shook his head, not delving into Cui Huayu's past.

"I heard that all prodigies of Transcendent Spirit Sect are spirit-bodies. Then why aren't there any spirit-body prodigies in the Thousand Martial Hall?"

This was a question that Xu Yan had wondered for a long time.

Could it be possible that the Thousand Martial Hall was concealing the true prodigies?

But that wasn't logical as they still hadn't show up to fight, even when he had challenged them to their faces.

Or did they avoid the fight because they didn't have the certainty of winning?

"Spirit bodies are rare in the world. Once one obtains a spirit body, no matter how humble their origins, they will gain recognition and will be taken in by the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

"Reporting a Spirit-body Prodigy to the Transcendent Spirit Sect is a great achievement.

"The core prodigies of the Transcendent Spirit Sect possess the spirit body. Such prodigies usually do not travel through Ling Domain, for even if they do, their names remain unknown to others."

Cui Huayu said after thoughtful consideration.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, sensing a hidden secret in all of this.

"For more covert matters, I am unaware. But as far as I know, the Transcendent Spirit Sect exists to cultivate spirit-body prodigies.

"As for what lies behind all this, it is beyond my knowledge."

Cui Huayu spread his hands helplessly.

"Are spirit bodies that rare?"

Xu Yan asked thoughtfully.

His Junior Sister Su Lingxiu is a spirit body, and so is Yue'er.

Moon Changming is also a spirit body.

While he and Meng Chong weren't born with spirit bodies, they've undergone transcendence and transformation with each breakthrough, which is incomparable to spirit bodies.

There are also rumors that all thirty-six heroes of the Wanxing Martial Arts Institute are Spirit-body Prodigies.

"Of course they're rare!"

Cui Huayu said seriously.

"I've heard that all thirty-six heroes of Wanxing are Spirit-body Prodigies..."

Xu Yan questioned.

Cui Huayu shook his head saying, "That's a misrepresentation. The spirit bodies mentioned in the martial arts world are somewhat different from what the Transcendent Spirit Sect recognizes."

"Oh, how so?"

Xu Yan was surprised. Could there be another definition of Spirit Body in the Transcendent Spirit Sect?

Cui Huayu explained, "The spirit bodies widely recognized in the Ling Domain are mostly Spirit Resonance Bodies and not genuine spirit bodies. A Spirit Resonance Body carries the manifestation resembling spirit bodies but it is simply a body with spiritual resonance, not a genuine spirit body.

"While Spirit Resonance Bodies carry the traits resembling spirit bodies, they are not genuine spirit bodies. Nevertheless, spiritual resonance is also a remarkable talent that brings one closer to nature's spiritual energy and makes them more receptive to the Heavenly Earth Lingji…"

Through Cui Huayu's explanation, Xu Yan realized that the spirit bodies commonly referred to in the Ling Domain are actually bodies with spirit resonance, not genuine spirit bodies.

Identifying a genuine spirit body requires special spirit items and some unique methods.

Generally, most sects below the Top Spirit Sects don't possess these identification methods and therefore often mistake bodies with spirit resonance for spirit bodies.

The Transcendent Spirit Sect didn't clarify this. Although bodies with spirit resonance are not as good as spirit bodies, they still possess remarkable talents.

"Once a martial artist with a Spirit Resonance Body advances in their cultivation stage, the resonance gradually merges into their cultivation and they no longer possess the manifestation of spirit bodies.

"Wu Yuan from the Thousand Martial Hall is in fact a Spirit Resonance Body. His resonance has already merged with his cultivation level, making his power even stronger than the prodigies with innate bodies."

Cui Huayu further explained.

"I see!"

Xu Yan finally understood. "In that case, the thirty-six heroes of Wanxing are actually Spirit Resonance Bodies, not spirit bodies."

"Most of the thirty-six heroes are bodies with spirit resonance but there are indeed genuine Spirit-body Prodigies. It's said that the top five among them are true spirit bodies."

Cui Huayu heaved a sigh.

"How can a spirit body be distinguished?"

Xu Yan curiously asked.

Although he could sense spirit bodies, if they were bodies possessing spirit resonance with manifestation of spirit bodies, without experience in distinguishing the differences, he wouldn't be able to make a proper judgement.

"You'll need spirit items and some methods."

Cui Huayu thought for a moment and took out a small green tree.

"A spirit body touching this spirit tree, stimulated via a unique method will cause the leaves to glow. If it is a Spirit Resonance Body, the leaves will only glow faintly."

He was eager to find out if Xu Yan was a spirit body. freewebnσvel.cøm

Given his exceptional prowess, he was undoubtedly a spirit body.

Xu Yan thoughtfully said, "Spirit Resonance Bodies seem more illusory, while spirit bodies appear more reserved and substantial. Is that the difference?"

Once Cui Huayu had clarified, Xu Yan understood the difference between Spirit Resonance Bodies.

By comparing with his Junior Sister Su Lingxiu, or Yue'er, he could determine whether he has a spirit body or possesses a Spirit Resonance Body.

"That could be it."

Cui Huayu nodded, puzzled in his mind. Could it be that Xu Yan could differentiate without using spirit items?

Xu Yan reached out to touch the small tree in Cui Huayu's hand. Ecstatic, Cui Huayu hastily used his method to examine the strength of Xu Yan's spirit body.

There were different strengths of spirit bodies, divided into different grades.

Snap!

The tree barely glowed before it instantly disintegrated into debris.

Cui Huayu was stunned.

Xu Yan blinked and said, "Your tree is not all that reliable!"

But he thought to himself, "Indeed, I am above spirit bodies. I'll ask my master when I return."

Xu Yan felt a secret thrill.

Cui Huayu scratched his head, wondering if there was a problem with his Spirit Testing Tree.

"How many spirit bodies are there in Yu Ling Mansion?"

Xu Yan asked curiously.

"I don't know, this is the deepest secret of the Transcendent Spirit Sect."

Cui Huayu shook his head.

The two chatted idly for a while. Then Cui Huayu asked curiously, "Brother Xu, where do you plan to hide from the Thousand Martial Hall?"
