"Speak!"

Liu Sheng snorted coldly.

"Hehe!"

Zhan Tian wasn't angry, instead, he chuckled lightly and continued, "In cultivation, Martial Artists are divided into grades from one to nine, and so are jade bones! They are divided from one to nine, with ninth grade being the strongest!"

"That's why you have jade bones but cannot even touch the threshold of the Sacred Body!"

Chen Xuan, who was sitting nearby, truly gained a lot today.

To learn that jade bones have grades is truly eye-opening.

Now he understood why his clone had fully developed jade bones but his physical body was still weaker.

It must be because the grade of the jade bones was too low.

"What about Your Majesty? His jade bones shouldn't be weak, so why can't he cultivate the Sacred Body?"

With Emperor Yu's talent and the backing of the Qin Emperor Sacred Land, his jade bone grade cannot be poor.

Why can't Zhan Tianxing do it?

Zhan Tian shrugged his hands, "Luck is also part of it!"

When he cultivated the Sacred Body, Emperor Yu was also utterly shocked, and didn't hesitate to lower his face to ask him.

But even after Zhan Tian told him the method, it still was to no avail.

He just couldn't get started!

This point also puzzled Zhan Tian; if he had to explain it, he could only attribute it to luck.

Or perhaps he had something Emperor Yu didn't, but he himself didn't know what that was.

"So the cultivation of the Sacred Body not only relates to the grade of jade bones but also most importantly to luck?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"You could say that."

Talking, Zhan Tian propped his legs up in a carefree manner, feeling quite pleased.

There's nothing to be done; this was his pride, just the fact that Emperor Yu couldn't cultivate the Sacred Body was enough to make him proud.

"And what about him? How's his jade bone grade?"

With there being two conditions, luck besides, Liu Sheng was now most concerned with Chen Xuan's jade bone grade. If the first condition wasn't met, then it might be better just to give up.

"Activate your jade bones and let me have a look!"

Zhan Tian looked at Chen Xuan.

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan immediately stood up, took a deep breath, and then... Boom!

His physical body erupted completely.

The jade bones within him emitted a crystalline light!

"Crack, crack..."

Beneath Chen Xuan's powerful aura, the space within the hall was directly torn apart, and lines of spatial fissures spread across the entire hall like a spider web.

At this moment, Zhan Tian's eyes shined brightly like stars.

When he saw the crystalline jade light within Chen Xuan, his heart was greatly shaken.

No wonder completing his jade bones was so difficult.

The grade... nearly seventh grade!

Even he was somewhat envious of Chen Xuan, having only achieved jade bones at slightly over sixth grade initially, not reaching seventh grade.

But this rascal, despite not fully developing his jade bones, was nearly seventh grade.

Once completed... Seventh grade would be a given, perhaps even higher.

"Perhaps he could cultivate the Sacred Body even higher!"

This thought popped up in Zhan Tian's mind.

"How is it?"

Liu Sheng asked.

"Alright, it's acceptable! Next, it's up to this kid's luck."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately restrained himself, his face beaming with joy, "Really?!"

"Please, Elder Zhan, teach me the cultivation method for the Sacred Body!"

But Zhan Tian shook his head.

"Don't be happy too early. To cultivate the Sacred Body, you must first complete your jade bones."

"Uh—"

Chen Xuan was stunned, his excited heart instantly dampened.

Complete jade bones!

That's too difficult!

However, Liu Sheng beside him suddenly stood up, looking determinedly at Zhan Tian, "Then it's decided, once he completes his jade bones, you will teach him the method to cultivate the Sacred Body!"

"Alright!"

Zhan Tian agreed, somewhat unconsciously, but once he said it, he immediately realized it.

"Damn!"

"You rascal, have you been setting me up all along!"

Zhan Tian was furious.

Damn it, rascal, no wonder even Your Majesty said he is the most cunning.

"I don't care; you promised, and since you are a person of rank and status, a man of integrity, you must hold to your word. If you back out, it would be shameful."

Liu Sheng was smug, looking at him with a smile.

Old rascal has been proud for so long, it's time for him to have his turn.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian snorted coldly, to back out?

Of course not, he valued his reputation, but he couldn't swallow it, so he mocked, "You'd better think how to help this kid complete his jade bones then?"

"It's not that easy."

"Without complete jade bones, everything else is nonsense; even if I wanted to teach him, it would be pointless."

"Don't worry, you don't need to be concerned about that."

Liu Sheng said casually.

But once he finished, Zhan Tian's face turned serious instantly, "You're not really thinking of sending him into the Stone Cave, are you?"

In the current situation, aside from this method, he really couldn't think of anything else.

"That's the only way!"

Though it's dangerous, this is the only path, so he wanted to try.

"No, you can't go!"

Zhan Tian immediately understood his intention, since Chen Xuan was too weak, Liu Sheng must be planning to venture into the Stone Cave himself.

But if he falls, it would be a great blow to the Great Yu.

Peak of Eighth Layer Dao Realm... There are only a few in Great Yu, losing one is something Emperor Yu couldn't accept.

That's why even last time, despite the trouble he caused, when he wanted to step down as Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, not only Emperor Yu disagreed, even Liu Daoxin, who was often against him, didn't dare pursue it further.

"I'll be careful, it should be fine."

Liu Sheng opened his mouth slowly, he knew the danger, but to help Chen Xuan complete his jade bones, he was willing to take the risk.

At this time, Chen Xuan beside him was deeply moved.

He didn't expect Liu Sheng to go to such lengths for him.

"But still, no!"

Zhan Tian shouted angrily, "If you dare go, I'll report to Emperor Yu! There's no room for negotiation on this!"
