Chapter 33

Completed the second Divine Transformation.

Chen Daoxuan had only just arrived at the Tianling Great Realm.

His divine sense spread out, and he sent a transmission to Qian Qianyun, who had reached Core Formation Completion a hundred years ago and was awaiting the opportunity to break through to Nascent Soul.

"Qianyun, go to the Junfu yourself and inform the Prefect that this seat accepts his conditions."

"Once you return, go into closed-door cultivation!"

At the same time, a Xiaopin Po Ying Dan, helpful for breaking through to Nascent Soul, was sent out by Chen Daoxuan.

It was something he had exchanged from the Shanhai Immortal Sect.

Although it had no effect in assisting the Spirit Void Tribulation, as a mere aid for breaking through to Nascent Soul, it had very good effects.

It was just that after using this pill, one could at most achieve a three-inch Nascent Soul.

It was a kind of realm-breaking pill that the Shanhai Immortal Sect sold to ordinary cultivators of the outside world.

……

Inside the Cultivation Cave Mansion, Qian Qianyun, upon hearing Chen Daoxuan's divine sense transmission, looked at the Po Ying Dan that had appeared before her, and her expression immediately changed, filled with excitement.

"Yes, Green Ancestor."

After respectfully accepting the order, Qian Qianyun carefully put away this one Po Ying Dan, which in her eyes was of superior quality.

Two hundred years ago, the Grand Elder Yuan Xundao had taken this very pill to break through and achieve Nascent Soul, gaining a lifespan of two thousand years.

With this pill in hand, she felt that she only needed a few years of closed-door cultivation to break through to Nascent Soul.

……

Watching Qian Qianyun leave the Mountain Gate and head for the Junfu.

Suddenly, Chen Daoxuan felt a premonition well up in his heart, and a trace of karmic resonance surfaced in his mind, sensing that the sliver of karmic connection between himself and Qian Qianyun seemed about to be severed.

"Hmm, could she encounter some danger on this trip?"

As thoughts flowed, he condensed a Primordial Spirit imprint containing a wisp of his divine sense and one of his divine abilities, which silently landed on Qian Qianyun's body.

……

The Zhenqi Nation had a total of nineteen prefectures and two hundred and eight counties.

But only seven of these prefectures had Divine Transformation sects that could educate an entire prefecture.

The remaining twelve prefectures, although they also had Divine Transformation sects, could at most educate the people of a few counties.

This included Guqi Prefecture, where the Green Thunder Sect was located, which governed a total of eight counties.

If the sects of these twelve prefectures wished to legitimately educate an entire prefecture and thereby obtain the merit of education, they would need the permission of the Zhenqi Nation.

The reason Chen Daoxuan was now sending Qian Qianyun to the Junfu was to reach an agreement.

On the condition that the entire Green Thunder Sect, including himself, accepted the recruitment of the Zhenqi Prince, they would obtain permission for the Green Thunder Sect to educate an entire prefecture.

……

Watching Qian Qianyun depart.

In his mind, Chen Daoxuan began, according to the records in the Green Thunder Scripture regarding achieving Divine Transformation, to attempt to feign that Boundless Vision of condensing the Primordial Spirit and achieving the Divine Transformation Stage.

In just two hours, Chen Daoxuan completed the feint.

With Qinglei Mountain as the center, a vision suddenly appeared, spreading for a thousand li.

The phantom image of a heaven-reaching thunder bamboo manifested from the void.

The entire Qing Lei Jun could see it.

But after only a short Three Breaths, this Boundless Vision vanished.

In its place came a Primordial Spirit pressure, which began to fill the entire Qinglei Mountain Gate, and even spread toward the entire Qing Lei Jun.

……

Immediately, everyone in the Green Thunder Sect, from top to bottom, understood that Chen Daoxuan had condensed his Primordial Spirit and achieved the Divine Transformation Stage.

Only Yuan Xundao, watching the vision up close, with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, faintly sensed that something was off, feeling that the vision was somewhat amiss.

But facing that obvious Primordial Spirit pressure, he pressed that sliver of doubt deep into his heart.

He even flew out of his cave mansion, rose into the high sky, and toward the peak of Qinglei Mountain where Chen Daoxuan was, sent out a congratulatory voice that spread throughout the entire Mountain Gate.

"Congratulations to Green Ancestor on achieving Divine Transformation, may you enjoy eternal longevity."

Closely following, within these three hundred years, the Core Formation Cultivators of the Green Thunder Sect, who had swelled to nearly fifty in number thanks to Chen Daoxuan's lectures and guidance every three years, manifested streaks of escape light, one after another flying to the sky above the Mountain Gate, and excitedly sent out voices of congratulation.

Then, within the next several breaths, inside and outside the entire Green Thunder Sect, Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators alike all sent out deafening, unceasing voices of congratulation.

The entire Green Thunder Sect, from Yuan Xundao, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator at the top, down to the cultivators who had just joined the sect, all understood that with Chen Daoxuan's achievement of Divine Transformation, rising waters lift all boats, and they would all have a better future.

……

"Xundao, bring the elders to Qing Lei Dian."

Chen Daoxuan, as if he had truly just achieved Divine Transformation, sent out a transmission filled with high spirits.

In just several breaths, the forty-two Core Formation cultivators in the Mountain Gate, along with Yuan Xundao, the Nascent Soul ancestor, all gathered in Qing Lei Dian.

"Since this seat has achieved Divine Transformation, the eight counties of Guqi Prefecture shall all be educated by our Green Thunder Sect."

"Xundao, make preparations. One month from now, once this seat's realm is stabilized, you shall lead the vanguard to conquer the Iron Sword Sect."

Seeing everyone arrive, Chen Daoxuan behaved differently from before, as if having just achieved the Divine Transformation Stage had changed his mindset, and he spoke with absolute dominance, issuing commands directly.

"Yes, Green Ancestor!"

……

Iron Sword County.

The Iron Sword Sect, which had lifted its mountain seal over two hundred years ago.

Upon that very Tiejian Shan.

Jian Qiuming, that Nascent Soul cultivator, was not present.

Taking her place was a female cultivator who looked about twenty years old, dressed in a simple grey robe, her aura restrained.

As Chen Daoxuan, ten thousand miles away, revealed the might of his Primordial Spirit at the Green Thunder Sect, she directly opened her eyes.

A flash of dazzling white light gleamed from within her eyes.

She gazed toward the direction of the Green Thunder Sect.

"Hmm, is this someone achieving Divine Transformation?"

"Or is it the black hand who, three hundred years ago, slew the previous generation's Iron Sword and seized the Divine Iron Sword Pill?"

"And who still harbors deep malice toward the Iron Sword Sect."

Her thoughts churned, and after a long while, she closed her eyes once more, slowly sinking back into quiet cultivation.

"As the Sect Master said, within a hundred years, Zhenqi Nation will undergo a great upheaval."

"For the grand plans of the sect, I must sit here in idleness for another hundred years, presiding over the Iron Sword Sect's Merit Dharma Realm."

"I hope something interesting will happen during this time!"

As she sat in closed-eyed cultivation, thoughts churned in her heart. Thinking of the Primordial Spirit's might that had manifested from the direction of the Green Thunder Sect, and the vague malice she had sensed, a surge of sword intent boiled forth from her entire being.

"If a Divine Transformation cultivator could come to offer sacrifice to my sword, that would be quite nice."

……

Several thousand miles away, Qian Qianyun had just finished informing the Jun Prefect and was flying out from the Junfu, leaving the Jun City.

Watching the strange phenomenon fade away, sensing the approaching might of the Primordial Spirit, and sensing the familiar aura within it, her face was filled with excitement.

"Haha, the Green Ancestor has achieved Divine Transformation, which means the sect's merit and fortune are flourishing. As the Zhangsun, I will surely be able to break through to Nascent Soul."

As her thoughts churned, she set off once more, manifesting her escape light, racing at top speed toward the Mountain Gate, unable to wait any longer to offer congratulations and enter closed-door cultivation to break through.

Behind her, several dozen miles away, high in the sky, a distortion appeared, revealing a figure shrouded in dark crimson.

Wisps and strands of Nascent Soul Late Stage aura circulated about him.

"A Divine Transformation has been born in the Green Thunder Sect."

"How convenient. I was originally worried that after assassinating Qian Qianyun and framing the Qing Lei Jun Prefect, the Green Thunder Sect would simply swallow the insult."

"Now that a Divine Transformation has been born, the Green Thunder Sect should have the courage to call Zhenqi Nation to account, right?"

He transformed into a dim blood shadow and sped toward Qian Qianyun.
