Chapter 430 - 321: Old Friends, Immortality (Part 2)
"Good."
Xiang Wuji’s expression was calm, as if breaking through to Divinity Transformation was nothing remarkable to him.
Xiang Wuji was able to achieve Divinity Transformation primarily due to three reasons.
The first was the Mortal Transformation Technique, which Xiang Wuji had underestimated.
Most of the world couldn’t comprehend its entry; they just felt that what was spoken was all nonsense. This was the first layer, the surface.
The second layer involves Mortality, entering the secular world, while the third layer is to transform the secular world, which almost no one can accomplish.
The second reason was his experiences in Ningzhou under the Great Wei, which led to unexpected enlightenment, allowing him to comprehend the second layer.
The third was his experiences in the Demon Realm, where the gifts from two ancestors impacted him in various ways, and subsequently, the Demon God from the Celestial Fox Race provided him considerable assistance.
After accumulating profound insight, at the time of Mortal Transformation, Xiang Wuji gained enlightenment and entered the third layer of the Mortal Transformation Technique.
"These Immortal Mechanisms, go ahead and divide among yourselves."
Xiang Wuji made a casual grab.
The overhanging clouds and colorful cloud ribbons all fell onto the people of Heaven-Falling Valley.
In an instant, everyone entered into a state of enlightenment.
Immortal Mechanism can only be triggered by a Nascent Soul transforming into a Primordial Spirit, causing a vibration in the heavens and drawing a thread from it.
Heavenly treasures, this is the true essence of heavenly materials.
Do you not see that every cultivator in Heaven-Falling Valley, from Nascent Soul Cultivators down to Qi Refining juniors, each entered a state of enlightenment?
Many cultivators were secretly disappointed.
But there’s no alternative; if the person was alone, they would come to celebrate, and if opportunity presented, a Divinity Transformation senior in joy might casually bestow some.
After all, Immortal Mechanism cannot last.
Among them, one person’s aura surged, unexpectedly breaking through the Nascent Soul Barrier in an instant, transforming a core into a baby, achieving Nascent Soul Ancestor status.
With the emergence of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, all the cultivators reacted immediately, even using space talismans and supreme treasures like flying boats to swiftly traverse space, aiming to foster relationships or encounter the newly advanced Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
"Some matters should be settled."
Xiang Wuji gazed calmly at the west.
In an instant, his gaze pierced through heaven and earth, penetrated space, seeing all the happenings of Changzhou.
Having achieved Divinity Transformation, he had many affairs to tend to...
[You alone transform the secular world, and all beings are you, you embody all beings.]
[Nearly three Jiazi, over a hundred and seventy years, the mundane evolved, countless living beings are your incarnation, your Nascent Soul resonated with the heavens, borrowed divine transformation from the heavens.]
[However, you seem to feel there’s more than one path to Divinity Transformation, yet you have indeed succeeded in achieving Divinity Transformation.]
[At this moment, you can sense the power within you has been elevated to an unimaginable level, a realm beyond mortal imagination, true Immortal Power.]
[Your Primordial Spirit can now bear the power of rules.]
[You bestowed the dissipating vitality upon your many disciples; your disciple Han Yuan even broke through to Nascent Soul because of it.]
[You returned to the Celestial Sea Island above Zeyun River, and your return caused all conflicts on the island to cease at once; the vast Zeyun River would now forever serve you.]
[Your disciples found sufficient materials for you, enough to refine the Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke, and you declared your retreat.]
[After Divinity Transformation, your study of the Initial Demon Scripture made considerable progress, within the Demon Blood Heart Palace, numerous new demon thoughts appeared, and with your cultivation, you could now concretize these demon thoughts and release them from the Demon Blood Heart Palace.]
[You reshaped the flesh of Lady Zhu Lingyu, Master Hongru, Puppet Master, and others whose demon thoughts greatly aided you, giving them the role of Guardians of Heaven-Falling Valley, then retreated.]
[Your Initial Demon Scripture revolved, the Undefeated Demon Blood fully awakened, the ordinary person can’t see the terrifying extent to which the undefeated demon energy around you has accumulated, even a Divinity Transformation physique can easily recover.]
[Changtian Calendar Year 12,255, you emerged from retreat, having already crafted the prototype of the Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke.]
[The Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke can transform into any artifact within the five elements; it’s most suitable for the Undefeated Demon Blood that needs to embody all the paths of the heavens.]
[The grade of Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke has reached the peak of Spiritual Treasure, merely a bit short of the True Treasure Tier corresponding to the Divinity Transformation realm; the decades of retreat for your incarnation as a cultivator feel like an instant.]
[The influence of Heaven-Falling Valley now spans Zeyun River, none dare defy it.]
[Great Wei had long ago issued an edict, inviting you to the Imperial Capital, to discuss post-Divinity Transformation treatment.]
[Clearly, Great Wei also wants to rope you as a Divinity Transformation into their scheme.]
[Same year, you tore through space, traversed countless moments, where Nascent Soul Cultivators needed several large space transmission arrays to reach the Great Wei Imperial Capital and Nine Heavens Grotto Heaven from the Southern Wilderness, now it barely counts for you as a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.]
[The Great Wei Imperial Family’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators came forth, held private talks with you for three days and nights.]
[An Immortal Dynasty order issued, dismissing the Lord of the Southern Wilderness Prefecture, now the entire Southern Wilderness belongs to Honored Guest Elder Xiang Wuji of the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty.]
[You traveled across the Southern Wilderness, taking numerous resources.]
[Either crossing the bottom of the river, traversing antecedent cave mansions, or collecting Heavenly Spirit from above the Nine Heavens.]
[You refined them all into the Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke.]
[Changtian Calendar Year 12,240, you returned to Ningzhou, to your homeland.]
[You didn’t return to the Danyang Cultivation Realm, instead, concealing your breath, you arrived before the entrance of the Mortal Transformation Sect among myriad cultivation realms.]
Xiang Wuji in a black robe, after breaking through to Divinity Transformation, he had Returned to the Essence; from the outside, not a trace of aura could be discerned.
The drizzle falls gently.
Xiang Wuji holds a black umbrella, quietly observing every word inscribed on the Mortal Transformation Stele.
At this moment, he gains an even deeper insight.
It’s a pity that the Celestial River Elder who passed down the Mortal Transformation Technique has already departed; otherwise, Xiang Wuji would surely pay his respects as a disciple.
"Ahem, fellow Daoist, could you come for a chat?"
A figure appears beside Xiang Wuji.
Xiang Wuji holds his umbrella, slowly turning his head.
Calmly, he utters a name.
"Qiu Shenzi?"
Qiu Shenzi is stunned, trembling all over, staring intently at Xiang Wuji’s face as if searching his memory for something.
"Who are you?!"
"Seven hundred and eighty years ago, you and I had a fleeting encounter."
A faint smile appears on Xiang Wuji’s face.
Back then, a group of Golden Core cultivators studied here for a long time, giving Xiang Wuji many insights. However, most of Xiang Wuji’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul was aided by the power of the Undefeated Demon Blood.
"Seven hundred and eighty years ago..."
Qiu Shenzi’s appearance changes, transforming into that of a delicate young man.
"Come, weren’t we going to explore the Great Dao..."
In an instant, the two returned to the small mountain pavilion from back then.
In the pavilion, a group of Golden Core masters still gaze at the Mortal Transformation Stele from a distance, discussing the principles of the transformation.
They wish to break the core to form a Nascent Soul with it.
But... breaking the core to form a Nascent Soul is extremely difficult.
Yet if they don’t even have the intent, how can they explore the Great Dao?
"Fellow Daoist Qiu Shen, you’ve arrived."
"Did you bring a new Daoist friend with you?"
Qiu Shenzi trembles slightly, tightly watching Xiang Wuji, with light flickering in his eyes as if about to shed tears.
"Mingming Daoist."
"Jade Mountain Wanderer."
"Yu He Master..."
Xiang Wuji speaks out name after name.
The Golden Core Perfection Masters in the pavilion fall silent, looking at Xiang Wuji in surprise.
Qiu Shenzi says, "All failed..."
"All failed! Nascent Soul! Breaking the core to form a Nascent Soul! It’s too difficult, too difficult, too difficult!"
Qiu Shenzi suddenly bursts into laughter.
His figure suddenly becomes illusory.
Qiu Shenzi, too, is dead.
The lifespan of a Golden Core is eight hundred years, and now seven hundred and eighty years have passed since Xiang Wuji met them. If they hadn’t broken through, they would have long turned into a pile of dust.
The current Qiu Shenzi is already a Ghost Cultivator, and his obsession is the Great Dao...
"Upon hearing Brother Xiang’s breakthrough to Golden Core Perfection, I knew you would certainly come here; I never thought I’d be able to explore breakthrough methods with you today, Brother Xiang."
"Xiang Wuji of the Blood Demon Sect, greetings to everyone."
"Mountain Wanderer, Mingming Daoist."
"Mountain Wanderer, Jade Mountain Wanderer."
"Old Yu He..."
Figures emerge from the mist in the mountains.
They all look at Xiang Wuji and Qiu Shenzi with smiles.
Qiu Shenzi trembles, saying, "Qiu Shenzi, greetings to all."
The figures formed by the mist are incredibly lifelike, even showing visible True Essence fluctuations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I will cast away modesty and offer my understanding of the Mortal Transformation Technique."
Yu He Master smiles and begins to share his insights.
The surrounding people occasionally refute and debate with each other.
Sunlight pierces through the mountain mist.
The mist disperses, old friends have passed, yet only the Dao’s sound remains undispersed here...
