Chapter 776 - 765: Divine Body

Ding Ling performed the Bone Touching on Cao Chong.

He meticulously examined him.

After pondering for a while, he said:

"Cao Chong’s pulse has been suppressed by a certain Qi."

"What kind of Qi?"

Cao Mengde was quite nervous:

"Can he be saved?"

"He can be saved."

"Whew."

Cao Mengde let out a sigh of relief and joyfully pulled Cao Chong to perform a grand gesture of gratitude to Ding Ling:

"I knew the Upper God could handle it! Now, it seems indeed. Chong, quickly, thank the Upper God for saving you."

Before the rescue even began, they started thanking.

Cao Chong, being a very clever child, immediately made a polite gesture towards Ding Ling, smiling as he said:

"Thank you, Upper God, thank you, Upper God."

Although he was young, he was clever and articulate, with eyes brimming with spirit, making it clear at a glance that he was undoubtedly a very wise child.

Moreover, what made him very likable was that he was wrapped from head to toe in a unique Qi, much like an Immortal Flower about to bloom, captivating and moving.

However, it was this Qi that was the reason for Cao Chong’s short lifespan.

Upon hearing Ding Ling had arrived, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing immediately set aside their work and hurried to Cao Chong’s place. They were Divine Doctors granted special privileges by Cao Mengde, free to come and go to see Cao Chong.

So, just as Cao Chong finished his salute with a smile, they arrived.

They first saluted Cao Mengde and Ding Ling before inquiring about the situation.

Cao Mengde, in high spirits, told them about the situation.

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing exchanged glances, clearly seeing the shock and honor in each other’s eyes.

They were shocked that Ding Ling had just returned and already thoroughly researched a pathology they had failed to understand for many years.

The honor was that Ding Ling could be considered their ’successor’, and this successor surpassed them, which was undoubtedly the most gratifying thing for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

Hua Tuo spoke first:

"We have never been able to understand Cao Chong’s pathology. We truly don’t know the cause."

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were not arrogant due to their senior status; they practiced humility to the extreme.

Not only would they ask a top legendary medical expert like Ding Ling, but they would also inquire from ordinary people.

Ding Ling had great respect for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, so he had no intention of keeping the truth from them:

"Cao Chong’s constitution is extremely special, somewhat resembling the legendary Sun Divine Body."

"Sun Divine Body?!"

Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Cao Mengde, and others were a bit puzzled:

"What does that mean?"

Cao Chong widened his round eyes and looked up at Ding Ling.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and other children gathered around Ding Ling, either giggling or listening intently.

Different ages, wisdom, and personalities resulted in different reactions.

But it had to be said that these children, without exception, exuded Spiritual Qi that soared to the sky, each with uncommon roots. If cultivated well, they could become pillars in the future!

Cao Pi would be the future Emperor Wen of Wei; Cao Zhi created the ’Rhapsody of the Luoshen’, and successfully composed poetry in seven steps; ’Boiling beans to burn bean stalks, beans cry in the pot’ became widely known;

Cao Zhang, a mighty general.

Cao Chong weighed elephants.

...

Each child achieved greatness.

At this moment, Ding Ling spoke more specifically about Cao Chong:

"Indeed. In a certain ancient book from the Wind and Cloud World, I’ve seen records of the Sun Divine Body, which bears a considerable resemblance to Cao Chong’s."

Compared to other Historical Worlds and the Martial World, Wind and Cloud World was a notch higher in all aspects.

The knowledge and heritage it left behind were naturally more complete.

"The so-called Sun Divine Body is one where, at birth, a hidden True Sun Flame is within the body’s bloodline. Normally this True Sun Flame does not manifest. But once truly erupting or activated, it could claim this child’s life."

"Then isn’t this a fatal constitution?"

Cao Mengde was anxious:

"How to treat it?"

"It’s both difficult and simple."

Ding Ling glanced at the group and said:

"As long as Cao Chong can be guided to cultivate the Martial Dao properly, and perfectly assimilate this bit of True Sun Flame, using it for himself, not only can he live for hundreds or thousands of years, but potentially even ten thousand years. At that time, becoming a Sun God is not impossible."

Cao Mengde was both shocked and delighted, and without a word, pushed Cao Chong down to the ground.

Cao Chong was indeed clever; without requiring Cao Mengde to speak further, he immediately bowed, saying with great earnestness:

’Teacher, please accept my three bows as a student.’

Ding Ling originally had no intention of taking on another student.

But seeing Cao Chong act like this, he thought that since he had already accepted Cao Ang, accepting one more wouldn’t hurt.

He wouldn’t teach often personally anyway, so he would have Zhao Yun and Tong Yuan teach them instead.

With this thought, Ding Ling accepted Cao Chong’s three bows.

Seeing Ding Ling not oppose, Cao Mengde was exuberant and also greatly relieved.

He had long learned from the Aliens that people in the Wind and Cloud World could live for thousands of years without dying, and being Detained by duties, surely Ding Ling could live even longer.

Now hearing Ding Ling’s introduction about Cao Chong, it further confirmed this conjecture. His heart was pounding rapidly.

Compared to immortality, even the Emperor’s Seat, power, gold, and silver were passing Fuyun!

What kind of a figure was Emperor Qin Shi Huang?

What kind of prodigies were Zhang Liang and Hann Xin?

A century later, they were still a pile of bones.

He, Cao Mengde, refuses to die! He, Cao Mengde, wants to live for thousands, ten thousand, even a hundred thousand, a million years!

Ding Ling was his hope.

So, in the days that followed, Cao Mengde was almost sycophantic to Ding Ling.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and the other children watched with mouths agape, unable to understand why their father, always revered as a deity, turned into a ’shameless’ ’servant’ in front of a Prince!

Yet they were astute and didn’t expose their father publicly.

Only after Ding Ling walked away with Cao Chong, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Zhongjing did Cao Zhi ask in curiosity.

Cao Mengde sighed deeply:

"Did you believe your father was wrong?"

"Father is remarkably intelligent, born with a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Surely there is a reason behind this."

Cao Pi replied:

"Is it because the Upper God is an Immortal from the heavens? Does Father plan to follow the Upper God to cultivate immortality?"

"I wish so, but given the situation, the Upper God likely won’t let me follow him."

Cao Mengde glanced at his children and said:

"Remember this: you will become Dragon Children, and your father will become the Emperor because the Upper God has no ambition for the throne and does not want to be disturbed by worldly affairs.

In the Upper God’s eyes, cultivation and longevity mean everything.

I didn’t understand before.

After all, in my view, how can a person, no matter how strong, compete with the heavens? How could one achieve immortality?

Until the Upper God returned to our world.

I was greatly enlightened. When a person reaches the pinnacle of power, even the heavens cannot stop his footsteps!"
