Chapter 774: One Transformation Saint

On the sixtieth year of Ding Huan's restoration of the Blue Star Divine Land, some people were shocked to discover that the First Divine Abyss of the former Three Divine Lands had gradually vanished, until it was completely leveled.

In the three hundred and twenty-first year, the Second Divine Abyss vanished just like the First, then was leveled.

Seeing Qu Yi crossed the Tribulation and ascended to the Divine King realm.

It was as if a chain reaction had begun: that year alone, at least a hundred others ascended to Divine King, including Ku Ya, who still guarded her sect, and several more reached the Union Soul realm.

At this point, there was no longer any need to prove the Blue Star Divine Land's restoration through Union Soul ascensions.

Even the most ordinary cultivators could clearly sense the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws rapidly perfecting.

Ding Huan had reached the peak of Pretender Saint Level Twelve, and no one understood the degree of perfection in the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws better than he did.

After all these years of seclusion, he deeply understood that his own cultivation advancement had proceeded in lockstep with the perfection of the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws.

With the cultivation resources he had poured out and his Great Cosmic Art, he could have advanced from Pretender Saint Level Seven to Level Twelve in far less than a few centuries.

He had taken over two hundred years because he had to wait until the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws had matured enough to allow him to reach the peak of Pretender Saint.

Since he had restored the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws, at this moment he could perceive every single heavenly principle of the land.

Even for the missing heavenly principles, thanks to the Cosmic Membrane, Ding Huan had repaired them all with his own Dao principles.

Ding Huan began attempting to construct the planetary defense array of the Blue Star Divine Land.

Originally, Ding Huan had planned that if he could not build the planetary defense array through restoring the Blue Star Divine Land, he would complete the Divine Realm first, then spend time setting up the array.

A complete Divine Land without a planetary defense array was unthinkable.

The Blue Star Divine Land was not like Dunyi Divine Realm.

Dunyi Divine Realm was teeming with powerful cultivators, yet it still possessed a planetary defense array.

Although the Blue Star Divine Land had recently seen numerous Divine Kings and Union Soul cultivators emerge, their strength was negligible before true masters.

Not to mention others—even the Great Saint Min Yuan alone could crush the entire Blue Star Divine Realm.

To Ding Huan's delight, as his Great Cosmic Art continuously resonated with the heavenly laws, a planetary defense array was indeed slowly forming—and beginning to perfect itself.

Was this a natural array?

Soon, Ding Huan confirmed: yes, this was indeed a natural array.

Under the guidance of his Great Cosmic Art, the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws could construct a natural planetary defense array.

Without hesitation, Ding Huan took out four primordial artifacts and embedded them into the planetary defense array as its foundation.

The primordial artifacts he had obtained from Great Saint Min Yuan—the Five Sutra Staff, the Thunderstart Bronze Seal, and the Wind Huan Spear—and the primordial artifact he had received from Venerable Suo Gu—the Mahayana Buddhist Bowl—were all used as the foundation stones of the planetary defense array.

The greatest advantage of this natural planetary defense array was that, as the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws continued to perfect, the array would automatically strengthen.

This planetary defense array was intimately fused with the heavenly laws of the star land.

As for the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws, Ding Huan estimated that once he attained Sainthood, he would no longer need to intervene.

Any cultivator within the Blue Star Divine Land had the chance to attain Sainthood.

And within a short time, the highest possible attainment would be Sainthood.

Unlike the broken Three Divine Lands, the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws would continuously self-perfect.

Even if he left the Blue Star Divine Land, its heavenly laws would continue to advance.

Until one day they could reach Second-Transformation Sainthood, then Third-Transformation Sainthood…

Eventually, they might even surpass the perfection of Dunyi Divine Realm's heavenly laws.

Because under his Great Cosmic Art, the Blue Star Divine Land had established a complete heavenly law order.

Time flew like a shuttle.

The Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws continued to perfect, and so too did its planetary defense array.

Ding Huan's cultivation stagnated.

Ding Huan was utterly calm—he knew that to advance his cultivation, he must wait until the Blue Star Divine Land's laws reached the next level.

Another hundred years passed.

When Ding Huan sensed that the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws were nearly fully restored and its natural array had spontaneously formed, he took out the Cosmic Core.

It was time to complete the final step of the Blue Star Divine Land.

Under his Great Cosmic Art, the Cosmic Core in his hand slowly sank into the void of the Blue Star Divine Land and merged with its heavenly laws.

Boom—boom—boom!

Infinite roars erupted across every corner of the Blue Star Divine Land.

It was as if a slumbering dragon had finally awakened and begun stretching its limbs.

Ding Huan opened his eyes and clenched his fist.

He knew exactly why.

With the Cosmic Core now fused into the Blue Star Divine Land, the land had not only gained bones and sinews—it had gained a soul.

This was a complete star land.

This was the Divine Realm he had envisioned.

Unless another cataclysmic cosmic calamity struck, no one could ever again shatter the Blue Star Divine Land into two Divine Abysses.

At this moment, not only Ding Huan, but every cultivator on the Blue Star Divine Land could clearly sense that something had changed.

Previously, though the Blue Star Divine Land's heavenly laws were recovering and its grand laws were being perfected, it had always carried an ethereal, insubstantial quality.

This feeling was indescribable—it subtly gave the impression of instability.

With the fusion of the Cosmic Core, the Blue Star Divine Land instantly stabilized, as if it had gained a central pillar, no longer drifting aimlessly.

When the Cosmic Core fully merged with the Blue Star Divine Land, the entire Divine Land seemed to come alive.

Infinite fortune surged from the boundless cosmos and flowed into the Blue Star Divine Land.

The vitality of the Blue Star Divine Land surged wildly.

Countless cultivators knelt to the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

The ground was still the same ground, but walking upon it, that sense of stability was utterly different from before.

They understood that Blue Star Divine Land had truly been restored—and restored perfectly.

From today on, they no longer needed to fear the cosmic rules limiting their Dao potential.

From today on, they no longer needed to search the universe for places to perfect their Dao.

Previously, cultivating in the Three Divine Lands had felt meaningless—merely using the place as a stepping stone.

Now, Blue Star Divine Land gave them a sense of belonging; this was their root.

Some cultivators who had gained opportunities began wanting to leave their legacies on Blue Star Divine Land.

At the instant the Cosmic Core merged with Blue Star Divine Land, under the Great Cosmic Art, Ding Huan clearly saw the location of his Dao.

His cultivation surged violently; the laws within his consciousness universe multiplied exponentially.

Ding Huan's divine sense pierced through one realm, even clearly scanning the Dao Court across the Eternal Divine Abyss…

His Dao spread outward, its domain as tangible as solid matter.

Ding Huan easily spotted a soul entity lurking within the former Divine Clan's Void Forest; that soul entity was trembling with fear and disbelief.

In this dying universe, could anyone fully restore a Divine Realm?

Ding Huan knew that before, Blue Star Sect had been unable to establish itself because of this soul entity.

But now, he paid it no mind at all, continuing to sense his own consciousness universe.

His own world was not merely clear.

Beneath it, his Dao laws spontaneously generated.

Calling it a universe now was still premature—it could only be called a world.

But the embryo of a universe had already formed; becoming a vast cosmos was merely a matter of time.

As his cultivation continuously rose, his universe would keep perfecting itself.

A thread of life energy appeared within Ding Huan's awareness.

Ding Huan's perception settled upon a tender sprout in his world; sensing that familiar life force, he widened his eyes.

Life Tree?

When he had once separated the Life Tree from the universe's membrane, he had been influenced by a Dao imprint.

Though he had sealed that Dao imprint, the Life Tree had vanished entirely.

He never expected that, at this moment of his Sainthood attainment, the Life Tree would be reborn through nirvana within his world.

The clear life energy, the vigorous vitality—Ding Huan was overwhelmed with excitement.

He could feel the Life Tree's dependence on him; this was his Ding Huan's Life Tree, no longer subject to any external influence.

"Thank you…"

Ding Huan murmured to himself.

The Life Tree seemed to sense Ding Huan's affection; the tender sprout swayed slightly.

Ding Huan opened his hand and implanted ten Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, ten top-grade Starry Divine Spirit Veins, and that top-grade Wood Attribute Divine Spirit Vein beneath the Life Tree's sprout.

Ding Huan looked up again and saw the fractured soul entity hidden within the Divine Clan's Void Forest attempting to flee Blue Star Divine Land through the Void Forest.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly; when Blue Star Divine Land had been shattered, this thing could come and go as it pleased.

Now that Blue Star Divine Land had been restored by him—and sealed by a natural grand array—did this soul entity truly think it could escape Blue Star Divine Land without his permission?

Don't dream.

As Ding Huan contemplated Blue Star Divine Land's planetary defense array, a talisman tablet fell from the void; he reached out and caught it.

Just as he had suspected.

Although Blue Star Divine Land's planetary defense array was a natural array, this natural array had formed under his Dao.

Now, a natural talisman tablet had landed in his hands.

Ding Huan stood up, gazing at the perfected Blue Star Divine Land, his heart filled with profound satisfaction.

Perhaps he was the only Saint to have attained Sainthood without a Lei Jie.

Ding Huan knew precisely why he had no Lei Jie.

Because when he perfected Blue Star Divine Land, he had stood nearly equal to its Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, he had no Lei Jie—and needed none.

Around Blue Star Divine Land, there were no powerful races or planets; Ding Huan had no intention of establishing a Dao Court here, nor of forming a cultivator army.

"Companions, Blue Star Divine Land is fully restored. May all of you advance in cultivation and perfect your Dao.

The Blue Star Academy will begin accepting disciples in one year. Welcome any sect or individual to join the Blue Star Academy and build glory together on Blue Star Divine Land." Ding Huan proclaimed loudly.

His voice carried through the planetary defense array to every corner.

At that moment, every cultivator ceased their cultivation.

"Ding Zongzhu's Dao is eternal!" Nearly every cultivator bowed deeply toward the Blue Star Academy—or knelt and kowtowed.

Heavenly Dao spiritual rain rained down from the sky; everyone frantically collected it.

Ding Huan did not collect the spiritual rain; he clearly sensed his cultivation rising to another level.

"So this is a First-Transformation Saint," Ding Huan murmured, understanding now.

Not all Saints become First-Transformation upon attaining Sainthood; some may remain forever at the title of Saint, never stepping into First-Transformation.
