Chapter 617

However, to bring the incarnation out for my use still requires a very important thing.

That is, one must forge a physical divine body for it.

And the materials for this divine body must also be of the highest grade; otherwise it cannot withstand the cultivation and karma of the gods' incarnations.

But where can we find a top‑grade body in a short while?

Feng Qingyang pondered briefly and then thought of a method.

Merit Mall!

I seem to have seen divine bodies and similar treasures in the Merit Mall before.

"System, open the Merit Mall and find the page on divine bodies."

【"Ding, alright Master, the Merit Mall has opened and automatically filtered out the items you need."】

【Cyan Thunder Divine Body: ten million merit points (a divine body crafted for cultivators of the Lightning Dao; those not cultivating Lightning can also use it, but the fusion effect is imperfect, the benefit being that after fusion cultivation of the Lightning Dao gets twice the result with half the effort.)】

【Heaven Flame Divine Body: twenty million merit points (a divine body crafted for cultivators of the Fire Dao; after fusion one can immediately have their Dao fully integrated, even reaching a higher level.)】

【Annihilation Divine Body: thirty million merit points……】

【Wrathful Sea Divine Body: thirty million merit points……】

"This one won't do, that one isn't suitable either, and the other is also somewhat lacking."

After looking at several in a row, Feng Qingyang found none to his liking—either unsuitable or too expensive—until he turned another page and, upon seeing the introduction of one divine body, his eyes lit up immediately.

【Innate Merit Divine Body: fifty million merit points (as the name suggests, this divine body is forged from endless merit, an innate divine body suitable for cultivators of any Dao; all can perfectly fuse with it, and it is completely identical to the divine body endowed by innate nature.)】

"Hiss! This is good! Simply perfect! It's just that the cost‑performance isn't high—fifty million merit points! Another fifty million merit points and I could exchange for that one‑slash‑to‑kill Immortal Emperor on the first page."

Low EQ: too expensive; high EQ: poor cost‑performance.

"However, this is the most suitable divine body; there's nothing more suitable. Fifty million it is! Later I'll have the fused‑merit divine bodies of the gods' incarnations earn it back for me—anyway I'll never lose out."

"System, exchange me an Innate Merit Divine Body."

【"Ding, exchanged; the merit divine body is now in your spatial treasure, and your current merit points are: -1】

"No, how did the Emperor's merit points go negative?" Feng Qingyang raised his eyebrows, puzzled, and asked.

【"Master… this system only deducted a 1 merit point fee."】

"Alright, alright, here you go."

After exiting the system space, Feng Qingyang looked again toward the distant Jun Tian Emperor; only two breaths had passed.

"Changed your mind? Then what do you want?" Jun Tian Emperor stared warily ahead; this person's Dao was incredibly heaven‑defying—I haven't even seen or heard of such, already powerful beyond my comprehension!

He is definitely a senior from a higher plane!

At this moment he wishes he could protect everyone before him, but alas only he himself remains……

"It's simple: the Emperor wants you to join my Qingyun Sect and help the Emperor become supreme among all heavens and worlds as a right‑hand man."

"Join your Qingyun Sect? … My Heavenly Emperor Palace is still waiting for my return; change your request, sir—anything else is negotiable."

"Anything goes? Even refining you would be fine?" Feng Qingyang shook his head and continued: "Don't worry—keeping you is more helpful to the Emperor than refining you."

"Furthermore, the Emperor only needs you to join my Qingyun Sect for a hundred thousand years; sign a Heavenly Dao contract, and after those hundred thousand years you may leave if you wish."

"Besides, don't you want to break through to a higher realm? Go see a broader world—your Tian Cang Immortal World is ultimately too small."

These words struck Jun Tian Emperor's heart; he had been stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm for a long time, with no chance to break through—if he could truly break through……

Just as he hesitated, Feng Qingyang's next words settled the matter outright.

"Moreover, the Emperor summoned you, who is merely one of your incarnations, so you needn't worry about your Heavenly Emperor Palace or kin; when your incarnation breaks through and later merges with your true body, you will naturally break through your realm and may even go further."

Through the system Feng Qingyang also realized that the so‑called Heavenly Emperor Realm is just another name for the Immortal Emperor Realm—different paths, same destination. Now Jun Tian Emperor's incarnation is at the early Heavenly Emperor stage, which equals a Primordial Beginning Immortal Emperor.

That is, the higher my own cultivation, the higher the incarnations of the gods I summon—this setting is not bad.

It's just that the merit points are gone, and I even owe the system 1 merit point; if I want to keep having the gods' incarnations defect, I need to accumulate merit points.

"What! This is only my incarnation? No wonder my cultivation dropped to the early Heavenly Emperor Realm—now I understand!"

"If that's the case, then I have no reservations! I am willing to join Qingyun!"

Qingyun Sect Master… mysterious, powerful, with heaven‑defying means; Jun Tian Emperor was deeply shocked once again.

"Welcome to Qingyun; you have made the correct choice."

Feng Qingyang smiled, then with a thought a Heavenly Dao contract slowly etched itself in the void.

Seeing this, Jun Tian Emperor without hesitation signed his name with a strand of his own Dao upon it.

"I, Jun Lin, have met the Sect Master." After signing, Jun Tian Emperor respectfully clasped his hands; Jun Lin is his true name.

"Sect Master, can we leave now?"

"Not yet; your incarnation's body cannot leave this Gods' Dao Platform. The Emperor has prepared a suitable divine body for you; we can go after the fusion is complete."

Having said that, Feng Qingyang flicked his sleeve, and the Innate Merit Divine Body stored in his spatial treasure turned into countless divine lights that flew toward Jun Tian Emperor.

All the divine lights twined around his surroundings, enveloping his entire person.

The next moment a wondrous scene appeared: Jun Tian Emperor's incarnation gradually grew flesh and blood, and soon he had a complete flesh‑and‑blood divine body as if reborn.

"What a wonderful feeling—I feel that this incarnation of mine now truly exists between heaven and earth."

Jun Tian Emperor carefully sensed himself and then sighed.

After trying to circulate his cultivation technique, he was even more astonished.

There was not the slightest rejection; it fused perfectly!

Sect Master actually prepared an innate divine body for me!

"Jun Lin, thank you, Sect Master." Jun Tian Emperor this time gave a heartfelt clasped‑hand thanks.
