Chapter 375: The Challenge of Divine Transformation
Several days later, inside a mansion on Dark Kui Island.
Supreme Spirit Stones were casually piled up on the ground, forming a colorful small mountain, emitting a dazzling glow that made Immortal Cultivators dizzy.
If left unattended for a thousand or even ten thousand years, there was a chance that a supreme Spirit Vein could emerge from it.
Even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators striving to achieve Core Formation, Supreme Spirit Stones had a certain effect, and they were even more valuable for Incarnation True Monarchs.
Along the way, Fang Xing had killed many True Monarchs, and this time, he had also collected a lot of loot from the Essence Spirit Sword Sect. Now, he took out all of it.
"After all, Dark Kui Island is only a fourth-rank Spirit Vein... When I break through to Divine Transformation, the supply of spiritual energy might be a little insufficient."
"But I've asked Ni Huolong to set up an array, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy at this Spirit Eye, and with a lot of Supreme Spirit Stones... There shouldn't be any problems in the short term."
At this moment, his Cultivation Avatar was sitting cross-legged beside the Spirit Eye, gradually reaching the peak of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.
A silver light flashed, and his true self appeared at some point, silently checking the surveillance of the entire island through the Dark Kui Number.
"It seems very peaceful..."
"Yes, with the record of killing a Grand True Monarch, others might suspect that I'm an old monster disguised as a Soul Transformation Venerable! Who would dare to provoke me?"
Fang Xing smiled slightly, "Even if they come, it's just sending food... It's best if a few Soul Transformation Venerables or even Meng Old Devil come!"
Now that his true self had advanced to Martial Deity, it was equivalent to achieving Divine Transformation in the Immortal World. Plus, with his extreme prowess in Martial Dao, even without activating the Black Death God Number, he was not an opponent for ordinary Soul Transformation Venerables.
Fang Xing never placed his hope in others; every time his Cultivation Avatar broke through a major realm, his true self personally acted as the guardian.
Now, with him stationed at Dark Kui Island, he would kill one Soul Transformation Venerable if one came, and kill a pair if two came.
Even if Meng Old Devil himself came, it would only be a matter of putting on armor and defeating him in one move.
'Who knows... Meng Old Devil might not even know who I am...'
'But it's hard to say. When I was the second island master, I took action several times. If there are portraits or memory stones left behind, and then Meng Old Devil has a secret technique to obtain the memories of his second Essence Spirit before death, there's a certain probability that he'll discover me...'
'But at most, it proves that I was one of the many Soul Transformation Venerables who besieged him... It doesn't seem like much, but for the sake of the future of the Essence Spirit Sword Sect, he will definitely come looking for me, coming to his death...'
'This generation's Divine Transformation Cultivators must grasp a strand of Void Power to have a chance at advancing to Refinement. Therefore, it's hard to say, but the highest inheritance cultivation method in the Limitless Hall must be related to space laws, just like the Spirit Void Sword Scripture and the Ethereal Void Scripture...'
'When I become the president of Blue Star University, I can call upon a group of scholars who research space, set up several space research projects, and it will be just as easy...'
'Could it be that after becoming a Martial Deity, I'll have to transform into a grand master of space academia?'
'Hmm, I'm not a grand master, just a knowledge transporter...'
'I can reveal myself to outsiders, but I should have some self-awareness about my own abilities.'
Just as Fang Xing's true self was lost in thought, his Cultivation Avatar had already adjusted his state and was ready to challenge the Divine Transformation bottleneck!
...
Iron Sword Gate.
Zhou Shidi and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered together, their faces filled with joy, "Fire Dragon Senior Brother has successfully condensed his Primordial Spirit, and now our Iron Sword Gate has hope for revival..."
"Cough, cough..."
Fire Dragon True Monarch, sitting at the head, lightly coughed, "It's just a breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit... Compared to Dark Kui Senior Uncle and Tai Bai Senior Brother, it's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shidi and the others exchanged glances, and they had no objections to Fire Dragon True Monarch raising the status of the Dark Kui Island Master.
After all, it had recently spread that the Dark Kui Island Master could even kill the late-stage Primordial Spirit Dark Cloud Pavilion Lord.
He was either a fully cultivated Primordial Spirit or a Soul Transformation Venerable in disguise! Soul Transformation Venerables had a lifespan of over two thousand years, and many solitary Soul Transformation old monsters could indeed play around in the mortal world, choosing to live under different identities...
Generally speaking, even for a fully cultivated Primordial Spirit Cultivator, it was almost impossible to kill a Grand True Monarch.
Therefore, the outside world almost regarded the Dark Kui Island Master as a Soul Transformation Venerable.
Raising his status was only natural.
"As for our Iron Sword Gate, Dark Kui Senior Uncle has already said that he can give us Dark Sky Island as a base!"
Fire Dragon True Monarch continued with a smile.
"Dark Sky Island? That's a fourth-rank Spirit Vein with many cultivated spirit fields..." Zhou Shidi's eyes lit up, "It's enough for our sect's development and my cultivation needs..."
Dark Sky Island was indeed excellent and could support several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
For the current Iron Sword Gate, it even felt like a snake swallowing an elephant.
If it weren't for Fire Dragon True Monarch successfully condensing his Primordial Spirit, they wouldn't even be qualified to occupy this treasure land.
"I heard... After the Dark Sky Gate was annihilated, Dark Sky Island was supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Dark Kui Island Master, but the Island Master has always been uninvolved..."
A female Foundation Establishment True Monarch said, "In name, Dark Sky Island belongs to Dark Kui Island, but in reality, it's occupied by several Loose Cultivators. The strongest among them is the Three Virtues Alliance, and it's rumored that their leader is at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, and there's even a Primordial Spirit sect backing them in secret."
"Hehe, even with connections, how can they compare to the Dark Kui Island Master?"
Those people didn't dare to openly display their banners before, and now they dare even less."
Zhou Shidi let out a cold laugh, "As for those Core Formation Cultivators, they will be perfect sparring partners for our sword practice!"
"I have the same idea. We can even send them a notice beforehand, explaining the situation..."
Fire Dragon True Monarch laughed, "With Senior Uncle's formidable reputation, even if those Primordial Spirit forces coveting Dark Sky Island join forces, they can only retreat... and willingly give up Dark Sky Island to us."
"Why should we sword cultivators do that? I think we should strike swiftly and fight, and if we let them leave voluntarily, they will definitely take away a large amount of Spirit Stones and Spirit Herbs..."
One of the junior disciples immediately raised a different opinion.
At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled.
"Hmm?"
Fire Dragon True Monarch's face changed first, and he rode a crimson sword light straight into the sky.
Zhou Shidi and the other Core Formation Cultivators followed closely.
When they reached mid-air, they witnessed an astonishing scene.
As far as the eye could see, the sky turned pitch-black, with dark clouds rolling and thunder rumbling.
What surprised them even more was that in the void, multi-colored light clusters appeared, constantly gathering towards the sky above Dark Koi Island, forming a lake with multicolored auroras. The lake was shimmering and dazzling, and its vastness was almost unbelievable.
"This... this seems to be... a Nascent Soul Phenomenon?"
Zhou Shidi felt the increasingly dense spiritual pressure in the void, making it almost impossible to fly, "What kind of realm breakthrough is this? It's so terrifying?"
Fire Dragon True Monarch, however, stared blankly at the deepest part of Dark Koi Island, his expression wavering between joy and sorrow, muttering, "Core Formation Phenomenon, ten li at its limit; Nascent Soul Phenomenon, shocking a hundred li; Divine Transformation Phenomenon, shaking a thousand li! This... this is an extraordinary phenomenon where a cultivator ascends to Divine Transformation, stirring the Universal Essence Energy of the universe, affecting a thousand li!"
"What? It's a Divine Transformation Phenomenon? There's a Primordial Spirit Perfection cultivator ascending to Divine Transformation, who is it?"
The Core Formation Cultivators looked at each other, then together turned their gazes towards the depths of Dark Koi Island.
At this moment, on Dark Koi Island, who else besides that one person has the qualifications to challenge Divine Transformation?
And this news was quickly spreading like wildfire among various factions.
It can now be confirmed that the Dark Koi Island Master had not broken through to Divine Transformation, yet he could easily slay the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch.
With his astonishing and outstanding strength, if he breaks through to Divine Transformation, how extraordinary would he be?
Perhaps the entire Outer Sea's situation would change drastically!
...
Inside the Mansion.
Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar sat cross-legged, silently cultivating the Great Freedom Mystic Golden Sword Canon, striving for a breakthrough to the highest level.
This sword canon of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect only reaches Divine Transformation, and there is no further advancement beyond that.
However, during this visit to the Gate, Fang Xing had already obtained the Ethereal Sword Sutra, which could seamlessly connect after Divine Transformation, making it very convenient to transform his cultivation method.
In the Great Freedom Mystic Golden Sword Canon, the chapter on sword cultivation for Divine Transformation is already the highest!
"To become a Divine Transformation sword cultivator, one must first break through to the grand realm of their cultivation method and cultivate the Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit... Then, by infusing the Primordial Spirit into the flying sword of one's destiny, one can achieve the status of a Divine Transformation Sword Sage!"
"It can be said that the previous Sword Core, and even the Sword Spirit... are all prepared for the final step of infusing the Primordial Spirit."
Fang Xing silently cultivated the path of the sword canon, his essence, energy, and spirit reaching the pinnacle and becoming perfectly integrated.
Then...
For three consecutive days, he didn't feel the vitality and impulse of the burgeoning Primordial Spirit.
'As expected, for me, who achieved Primordial Spirit Perfection through consuming pills, wanting to cultivate the Primordial Spirit is indeed a bit too forced...'
In fact, it's not just Fang Xing. Even those Primordial Spirit Perfection cultivators who diligently cultivated their spiritual power struggled immensely to advance to the Divine Transformation stage.
In this world, breaking through to a grand realm truly requires some external assistance.
With this thought, Fang Xing's true self immediately entered the mansion.
Then, the Immortal Warrior's power within him was activated, and the Martial Deity's spirit and soul continuously transformed into pure Divine Transformation power!
Next, his true self's palm pressed against the dantian of the Cultivation Avatar, and a surging power flowed in harmoniously.
Unlike the failed attempt during the Primordial Spirit breakthrough, this time, Fang Xing felt no conflict with the Cultivation Avatar's power, not even at the deepest imprint.
This was the effect of refining the 'Heavenly Mother Vajra Lotus Twin Guardian Scripture' to the level of a Grand Master! With the help of his true self's power, Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar finally took the lead in breaking through its power, directly transforming from the fourth-stage Primordial Spirit power to the fifth-stage Divine Transformation power! Following the subtle connection between essence, energy, and spirit, when 'energy' breaks through first, spirit and essence will naturally follow.
With the true self's assistance, regardless of power, the Cultivation Avatar's power was now not far from that of someone who had consumed the Divine Transformation Elixir.
Moreover, although the effect was slightly inferior, the absorption and transformation were excellent, and there was no need for refinement at all.
Crack! Crack!
The Cultivation Avatar's physical body seemed to be enduring an incredibly terrifying force, causing his joints to crack.
Then, he felt the breakthrough of his own Primordial Spirit.
Almost uncontrollably, the Sword Spirit flew out from the Cultivation Avatar's spiritual sea, standing on top of the Cultivation Avatar's bun. The body gradually became transparent, revealing a Spirit Artifact at the peak of its power—a rusty iron sword.
His Divine Perception seemed to directly merge with the Universal Essence Energy of this thousand-li area through his Primordial Spirit, and he saw the multicolored Essence Energy lake covering Dark Koi Island...
