Chapter 210: "500 Incarnation Fields!"

Chapter 210: "500 Incarnation Fields!"

After Ao Tian left, the black dragon sneaked back from the depths of Dragon Island with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He spotted the fatty dragon standing on the beach and his eyes lit up. He strode over with excitement.

"Hey."

The black dragon's eyes were brimming with suppressed joy. He patted his chest and raised his arms in the air, his face filled with pride. "Look, Fatty Dragon, I've achieved Divine Transformation. I've successfully transformed into my true form."

"Yeah."

Fatty Dragon nodded wearily and replied nonchalantly, "I've also achieved Divine Transformation."

The black dragon paid no attention to Fatty Dragon's words and instead strode towards the group of Mock Heaven Sect disciples. He approached each one, his smile reaching his ears.

"I've achieved Divine Transformation!"

"See, I, the black dragon, have transformed!"

"Do you still recognize me? I feel a bit unfamiliar after transforming, but I'm still the black dragon."

The Mock Heaven Sect disciples' reactions were rather lukewarm, causing the black dragon's initial excitement to dim slightly. Just as he was about to find his sisters and aunts to share his joy, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wow."

Qu Gui stared at the black dragon in disbelief, his voice trembling with shock. "I just realized... you're the black dragon! I didn't recognize you after your transformation. Aren't you still three hundred years away from adulthood? How did you suddenly achieve Divine Transformation?"

"How is that possible!!!"

"Cough."

The black dragon, who was about to head deeper into Dragon Island, stopped and turned around at the sound of Qu Gui's voice. He faced Qu Gui, who was in a state of shock, and couldn't contain his pride and excitement. He feigned nonchalance and spoke casually.

"Have you heard of the 'Dragon Palace'? It's the most mysterious forbidden area in the Dragon Palace, and there's a Dragon Clan heritage there. As long as you pass the heritage, you can instantly reach adulthood and obtain the Dragon Clan heritage."

"Out of a hundred dragons who participate in the heritage, less than one survives."

"Not only did I survive, but I also obtained the highest-grade Dragon Clan heritage."

"Do you want to hear about it?"

"This..." Qu Gui was overjoyed. "Can I really listen to this? Won't it reveal any heavenly secrets?"

"It's fine."

The black dragon cleared his throat and then began to excitedly narrate with a dramatic tone, "The first challenge of the Dragon Clan heritage was to defeat a mature giant dragon. It was a mature giant dragon, and I'm just a young dragon. How could I possibly defeat it?"

"Yeah, how is that possible?" Qu Gui's eyes were filled with worry.

"But I might have some talent. During the battle, I comprehended the bloodline secret art of the Cloud-Concealing Dragon, 'Dragon Poison'!"

"As expected of the black dragon!"

"Then I used a little trick..."

"Wow, unimaginable!"

"You're so amazing, black dragon!"

"I just realized that not only are you extremely powerful, but your strategies are also unique!"

"Ouch, that must have hurt, right?"

"Black dragon, you're too hard on yourself. With such a ruthless heart, you'll definitely achieve great things in the future!"

"If it were me, I would have given up."

Qu Gui's exaggerated expressions and over-the-top tone had become a spectacle on the beach. With such an attentive audience, the black dragon became more excited as he spoke. He used his hands and feet to describe the dangers he faced during the Dragon Clan heritage, and each time he mentioned something, Qu Gui would provide an intense emotional response.

".

Fatty Dragon sighed helplessly and looked at the scene before him, unsure of what to say for a moment. It must be said that Qu Gui's skill in playing the 'straight man' role was truly professional. In the future, even if his cultivation journey didn't go as planned, he could become a storyteller at a teahouse and still do well.

It was perfect.

Just then—

The black dragon, who had finished his story, suddenly pulled Qu Gui to his side and spoke seriously, "Fatty Dragon, you helped me obtain the 'Dragon Clan Bloodline Token' from my father, allowing my seventh-grade bloodline to be upgraded to the eighth grade."

"I won't forget your kindness."

"I know you've been good to me."

"The reason I was able to pass the heritage was because during the battle, I activated the 'Dragon Clan Bloodline Token,' successfully upgrading to the eighth-grade bloodline, and comprehended the bloodline secret art of the Cloud-Concealing Dragon, 'Dragon Poison.'"

"So—"

"I suggest that the three of us—"

"Black dragon, Fatty Dragon, and Qu Gui, why don't we follow the example of human cultivators and become sworn brothers today?"

Qu Gui, standing behind the black dragon, lowered his head and whispered, "Elder, the black dragon forced me to come."

"Huh?"

Fatty Dragon was taken aback and then looked at the black dragon in confusion. "Black dragon, it's not that I don't want to become sworn brothers with you, but won't our relationship be a bit chaotic in terms of seniority?"

"I'm an elder of the Mock Heaven Sect, and Qu Gui is an outer gate elder. According to age, shouldn't I be the older brother?"

"I'm about to marry your sister, so I'll be your brother-in-law. How should you address me then?"

"It's no problem."

The black dragon shook his head. "Let's not consider age. If we did, I should be the eldest brother."

"Fatty Dragon, you're the eldest brother, I'm the second brother, and Qu Gui is the third brother."

"Then call me third brother," Fatty Dragon said helplessly.

"Third brother sounds better."

".

The black dragon sincerely pulled on Fatty Dragon's arm, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Please, Fatty Dragon. And don't take the marriage with my sister too seriously. The Dragon Clan doesn't even have the concept of marriage and alliances. My father is just imitating the human race."

"I want to deepen the connection between the Dragon Clan and the Mock Heaven Sect through marriage."

"Is that so straightforward?" Fatty Dragon's expression was slightly peculiar.

"According to the human race's storybooks, you and my sister are both political sacrifices."

"I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything."

"Anyway, don't take this matter too seriously."

"I wasn't too concerned either, but I just feel..."

"Then let's do it!"

"Alright."

On the beach, Fatty Dragon picked up the incense sticks he had thrown aside earlier, not wasting them. He, Black Dragon, and Qu Gui each held three incense sticks in their hands.

They cupped their hands together.

In the darkness, the incense sticks glowed with a crimson light, and wisps of smoke rose and lingered without dispersing.

The three knelt before the grave that Ao Tian had dug for Black Dragon, gazing at the tombstone in front of the mound.

Fatty Dragon took the lead and spoke solemnly.

"Fatty Dragon, Black Dragon, and Qu Gui."

"Although we have different surnames, we are now sworn brothers. We will work together and help each other in times of need."

"We may not be born on the same day, month, or year, but we wish to die on the same day, month, and year."

"Heaven and Earth bear witness to our pledge. Betraying this oath will bring punishment from both Heaven and Man!"

After speaking, Fatty Dragon stood up and stuck the three incense sticks into the ground. Black Dragon and Qu Gui followed suit, imitating his actions.

Fatty Dragon, still kneeling on the ground, took out a jar of wine and poured it into three porcelain bowls.

"Cheers!"

Qu Gui and Black Dragon echoed excitedly, "Cheers!"

"Big Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

"Third Brother!"

"Third Brother!"

Fatty Dragon's emotions were also stirred, as this was his first blood brotherhood. He exchanged a glance with Black Dragon, and the three of them laughed loudly under the moonlight before embracing each other.

However, soon—

Black Dragon enthusiastically suggested, "I propose we engage in a battle to make our names known throughout the world. What do you think?"

"Great idea," Fatty Dragon nodded, looking towards the silhouette of Shui Ge atop a distant peak and clicking his tongue. "But we'll have to wait a year. The next year is the seclusion period for the Mock Heaven Sect and the Dragon Clan."

"Well, that's fine too."

Black Dragon nodded and waved goodbye to Fatty Dragon and the others, "I'll go spread the good news to the red fish school in the west."

"Go ahead."

After Black Dragon left, Fatty Dragon turned his expressionless face towards Qu Gui. Although he didn't speak, Qu Gui still shrank back, his neck trembling slightly as he whispered, "Elder, it was Black Dragon who insisted on making me his sworn brother."

"I didn't put any ideas in his head. I just praised him, and he insisted on becoming sworn brothers."

Just as Qu Gui was about to say something else, Fatty Dragon suddenly hugged his shoulder and grinned, "Damn, you just called me Big Brother a moment ago, right?"

Qu Gui was slightly startled but soon a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Big Brother!"

Dragon Island, on a mountain peak.

Chen Qiu sat cross-legged on a round stone, looking calmly towards the beach where the three were swearing brotherhood at a grave. He smiled lightly but said nothing.

It was quite lively.

He reached down and fiddled with the small Nascent Soul that had just been born in his embrace before tossing it back into his Dantian. Unlike his main Nascent Soul, which was covered in engraved entry names and heavenly bestowed names, this one was surrounded by countless glowing orbs.

This small Nascent Soul was three-tenths smaller.

It looked like a miniature version, its body clean and unmarked by tattoos or the like.

Then he looked up at the panel shrouded in clouds above his Dantian.

He didn't plan to stay, as his next breakthrough would be the Soul Refinement Stage. Combining the three choices of the Soul Refinement Stage with the two choices of the Divine Transformation Stage seemed like a bit of a loss.

---

"Cultivation Surges, officially entering the eighth stage of Divine Transformation."

"Please choose one of the three random entries below within ten breaths."

1:

"Entry Name": Bloodline Inheritance.

"Entry Grade": Blue.

"Entry Effect": Your first-generation bloodline has a chance to obtain a bloodline entry.

2:

"Entry Name": Heaven's Mandate.

"Entry Grade": Purple.

"Entry Effect": You will face a trial every month. After overcoming each trial, you will receive a reward. The power of the trials will gradually increase each month. The greater the power of the trial, the higher the reward after overcoming it. There will be a total of 108 trials.

3:

"Entry Name": Atonement.

"Entry Grade": Purple.

"Entry Effect": When you carry a bundle of thorns and apologize with kowtows, you will be protected by the power of Heaven and Earth. The person you are apologizing to, if they are not more than two cultivation realms higher than you, will be unable to attack you.

---

Chen Qiu's eyes immediately fell on the third entry, "Atonement." Among these three entries, this one was the most powerful.

This meant that as long as the other party's cultivation was not two realms higher than hers, when she apologized with a bundle of thorns and kowtows, they would be unable to attack her.

It was as if the power of Heaven and Earth was with her.

Two Great Realms.

In other words, once a Foundation Establishment cultivator possesses this entry, only Nascent Soul cultivators can take action against them, while Golden Core cultivators are completely powerless.

This is quite a powerful entry, with the only drawback being that it's a single-target effect. It can only control one person at a time. If one wishes to atone for their mistakes to multiple people at once, they'd likely need to combine it with other entries or increase the frequency of their apologies.

For instance, if two people were attacking from both sides, you'd have to apologize to the one on the east, and then quickly turn to the west and apologize to the person charging at you from that direction. It's like the game of Simon Says.

This entry is not bad, but its effect on him is minimal.

If he were to encounter someone two realms above him, he'd rather use a Virtue Attack Token and expend all his Virtue Points to let the opponent witness the wrath of a reckless man, instead of apologizing and bowing in repentance.

The first entry, "Bloodline Inheritance," is completely useless for him. It's more suited for sect leaders and those who wish to expand their family branches, but he has no intention of marrying or starting a family.

This entry is of no use to him whatsoever.

On the other hand, the Scholar's innate entry is a bloodline entry, a rare type that only a few individuals are born with.

It's purely based on probability, and the odds are extremely low.

Unless his biological parents have the "Bloodline Inheritance" entry, it can significantly increase the chances of acquiring a bloodline entry.

The second entry, "Heaven's Mandate," is not bad, to be honest, but the specific power of the tribulations is unclear, making it an entry with unknown information.

One hundred and eight tribulations.

That's far more than the eighty-one tribulations, and who can withstand that many?

Chen Qiu didn't think too much about it. Instead, he utilized the "Favorable Fate" entry to reroll the first one, hoping to get a more suitable entry.

If he couldn't find a better one, he'd choose the "Heaven's Mandate" entry. When the tribulations weren't too powerful, he could claim the rewards, and if they became too overwhelming, he could self-destruct the entry.

It just felt a bit wasteful.

Self-destructing a purple entry would be painful for him.

Soon—

The panel, shrouded in clouds, began to blur rapidly, and then gradually became clear again.

"Entry Name": Endless Abyss.

"Entry Grade": Blue.

"Entry Effect": A one-time entry. Upon using this entry, you will enter a solo Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, where you'll encounter countless ghosts and demons across five stages. You'll receive a special reward for each stage you pass, and you can exit at any time, but you cannot re-enter after leaving.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu's eyebrows rose slightly, and after a brief moment of thought, he chose the Endless Abyss over Heaven's Mandate.

Compared to the latter, the difficulty of the former was more predictable—just ghosts. As for the tribulations of Heaven's Mandate, who knows what they might be? Moreover, they occur monthly and could last a long time, meaning he might face unexpected tribulations affecting his plans for a while.

He personally disliked situations with frequent surprises.

After making his choice, he didn't linger and immediately crushed the Endless Abyss entry.

Soon, a white vortex slowly appeared before him, resembling the entrance to a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Chen Qiu surveyed his surroundings; the area was quite spacious, a vast square made of blue-green stone. His spiritual sense could cover the entire square.

On the outer edge of the square, there was a white mist.

And in the air, a panel was also shrouded in clouds.

"First Stage."

The next moment—

A thousand ghosts suddenly emerged from the square's surface, all at the peak Nascent Soul cultivation level. They struggled as they dug themselves out of the ground.

"Wow!"

Chen Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his gaze.

The difficulty increased with each stage, and the first stage alone had a thousand ghosts at the peak Nascent Soul level. He was in the late Divine Transformation stage, soon to reach the peak, so he wasn't intimidated.

But for a typical late Divine Transformation cultivator, it could be challenging. Although the Divine Transformation Realm is absolutely dominant against Nascent Soul cultivators, the issue is that the realm can't be maintained indefinitely.

Once the Divine Transformation Realm ends, facing a thousand peak Nascent Soul ghosts would be no easy task. The saying 'many ants can kill an elephant' holds true.

Immediately, a ripple of spiritual energy appeared on Chen Qiu's surface, and his clothes fluttered without wind. A thick layer of dark clouds gathered overhead.

Violet-blue ripples emanated from Chen Qiu's feet and quickly spread in all directions.

The entire blue-green stone square was dyed violet-blue.

Countless arcs of lightning, like winter plum blossoms, appeared and disappeared in the air.

The Thirteenth Rank Divine Transformation Realm, "Three Thousand Thunders," was activated!

Almost instantly, as his realm was activated, the thousand peak Nascent Soul ghosts screamed and turned into wisps of blue smoke, vanishing on the spot.

"Three Thousand Thunders" is not an offensive realm.

Its primary effect is to significantly enhance the power of thunder-based spells. As for the arcs of lightning that appear and disappear within the realm, they are merely a manifestation of the realm's power and have little actual force, almost like decorations.

A spring snow composed of purple-blue lightning arcs!

After all, at the late Divine Transformation stage, with a significant cultivation advantage, these decorative lightning arcs that appeared and disappeared within the domain were also overwhelmingly powerful against these Nascent Soul peak ghosts.

From start to finish, Chen Qiu didn't even move from his original spot. He didn't use the Lightning Summoning Art, activate any Spiritual Treasures, or lock on with his spiritual sense.

He did nothing.

He merely opened a domain, and the world became quiet.

The next moment—

As these Nascent Soul peak ghosts turned into wisps of blue smoke, a panel wrapped in clouds appeared before him.

There were three options on the panel:

- "Successfully passed the first level."

"Please choose one of the three special rewards below."

1. Can enhance the power of a specific spell.

2. Can enhance the power of a specific Spiritual Treasure.

3. Can reroll all attributes on the body at the same level.

-

"So these are the special rewards?"

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully. The last special reward was quite interesting, giving those with bad luck a chance to try again.

Not everyone is lucky enough to randomly get suitable attributes.

If one encounters such an opportunity, it's a good choice.

Of course, it was useless to him.

In the end, he chose the first special reward, enhancing the power of the Lightning Summoning Art.

A single Lightning Summoning Art, used to death!

He couldn't remember how many methods he had used to boost the power of his Lightning Summoning Art; there were too many. He felt he should rename this spell, as its current name, Lightning Summoning Art, no longer did justice to its overwhelming power.

He didn't have much time to think.

After making his choice, the cloud-covered panel in front of him quickly dissipated, and the second level began.

On the green stone plaza, over five hundred Divine Transformation early-stage ghosts emerged.

The difficulty level skyrocketed.

These five hundred Divine Transformation ghosts were almost as numerous as all the Divine Transformation cultivators on the entire Xuantian Continent. It seemed that this secret realm generated ghosts of corresponding power based on the cultivator's strength.

The ghosts with Divine Transformation cultivation were already a challenge to handle with just the opening of the Thirteenth Rank Incarnation Field, "Three Thousand Thunder Movement." Chen Qiu had to take action.

Before these ghosts could fully emerge from beneath the plaza, Chen Qiu, who had been leaning on his Heavenly Clue Umbrella, suddenly raised it, holding it aloft. A fierce storm and heavy rain descended upon the area.

The green stone plaza instantly became a scene of flashing lightning and roaring thunder, resembling the end of the world.

His clothes flapped wildly in the storm.

The umbrella, a unique and charming item, stood out especially in the midst of the tempest. In the face of the terrifying forces of nature, the fragile oil-paper umbrella seemed like a mortal defying the heavens, stubbornly standing against the downpour.

It remained unyielding in the raging storm, like a boat sailing against the sky.

"It's been a long time since I've taken action."

A glint of laughter flashed in Chen Qiu's eyes, and a slight smile lifted the corners of his mouth. He slowly extended his left palm, spread his five fingers, and aimed them at the Divine Transformation early-stage monsters that had just crawled out of the green stone plaza and were charging towards him.

"Bang, bang!"

In an instant, five hundred Divine Transformation domains simultaneously activated, creating a ghostly atmosphere. The entire green stone plaza became eerily dark, and the light visibly dimmed.

Five hundred Divine Transformation domains! It was truly astonishing.

But the next moment—

"Boom!"

The Thirteenth Rank Incarnation Fields, "Infinite Spirit Energy" and "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," activated simultaneously.

A purple-blue aura emerged from Chen Qiu's feet and instantly enveloped the surrounding area, absolutely suppressing all other domains in its path and reducing them to dust!

The milky white light from the Nascent Soul cultivator beside him also quickly covered the entire area, but it was less visible and not as eye-catching as the purple-blue aura.

Two top-tier Divine Transformation domains activated at the same time! The five hundred Divine Transformation domains were absolutely suppressed and reduced to powder in an instant, as domains above the Third Rank were guaranteed to dominate.

No one could resist.

Chen Qiu looked at the ghosts whose domains had been crushed, his palm still raised, and he smiled lightly.

Then—

Countless thunder dragons roared from his palm, their massive bodies shimmering with blinding electric light. Their roars deafened the ears, as if they were real thunder dragons.

Their roars blended with the thunder in the sky, creating a symphony of destruction.

Each thunder dragon carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, and in the midst of the storm, they enveloped all the ghosts.

When the thunder dragons made contact with the ghosts, they erupted in dazzling light and deafening explosions.

In an instant, the ghosts' bodies were torn to pieces, turning into scorched earth and ashes, without a chance to resist.

The air was filled with the smell of burning and sulfur.

It was the scent of thunder burial.
