Chapter 696 - 378: Striving for Divinity Transformation

"Is this Junior Brother Qi Chuan's communication talisman? What could be the matter?"

Qingyun True Monarch spoke somewhat unexpectedly.

Generally, if Qi Chuan could spare the time, even if there was something important to discuss, he would come and find me to talk face-to-face.

Only when he truly cannot spare the time and the matter is urgent will he notify me with a communication talisman.

Therefore, for a moment, Qingyun True Monarch was quite curious about what the matter could be.

Without further ado, he inputted a stream of mana into the communication talisman.

At the next moment, the talisman burned away, and simultaneously, the very familiar voice of Qi Chuan echoed in the void.

"Senior Brother Qingyun, I have begun the spiritual breakthrough to the early stage of the Divinity Transformation realm. Senior Brother, please make some arrangements regarding the sect…"

Upon hearing these words, Qingyun True Monarch stood frozen on the spot, deeply shocked within.

"What… did I hear correctly? A breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm?"

"Moreover… he's already begun the breakthrough?"

At this moment, Qingyun True Monarch's mind was somewhat blank.

He remembered that decades ago, Junior Brother Qi Chuan had already said he was in the Nine Inches Great True Monarch realm.

Considering Junior Brother Qi Chuan's terrifying talent, making a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation at this time seems plausible.

Nevertheless, no matter how one thinks about it, this is, after all, the Divinity Transformation realm!

Unprepared, receiving this news so suddenly, Qingyun True Monarch was immensely shocked and flustered.

Qi Chuan has placed all safety concerns in his hands.

Yet he has no experience in providing protection for a Divinity Transformation breakthrough.

Can he and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect truly bear the responsibility of protecting this endeavor?

"Hmm?"

"What is…"

While Qingyun True Monarch was feeling a bit bewildered, he suddenly raised his head and looked toward the direction of Qi Chuan's Cave Mansion, because he could sense a terrifying aura emanating from there.

This aura had already surpassed the limits of a Great True Monarch's presence, only an existence at the Divinity Transformation level could possibly emit such an aura.

Simultaneously, at this moment, Qingyun True Monarch also felt that the Spiritual Qi within his Cave Mansion had started to undergo abnormal changes.

Not just inside his Cave Mansion, but the entire expansive Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect's Spiritual Qi was also shifting.

In the void, threads of spiritual clouds radiating ten different colors gradually appeared everywhere, and once they emerged, they all seemed to flow toward Qi Chuan's Cave Mansion like streams converging in a vortex.

This peculiar and magnificent sight had already attracted the attention of many disciples and elders in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, who were both amazed and puzzled.

Clearly, these individuals were very confused as to why such a phenomenon appeared in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan has already begun the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, and seemingly, it has already commenced successfully?"

Yet, gazing upon this scene, Qingyun True Monarch's heart quickly calmed down.

He forced himself to stay calm.

Indeed, he had no experience in protecting a Divinity Transformation breakthrough.

However, as the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he was very aware of the forces he could mobilize.

The most correct approach now was to mobilize the resources to their fullest extent to ensure Qi Chuan could safely complete the breakthrough.

As for matters beyond his and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect's capacity, all he could do was to try his best and leave it to fate.

Immediately, Qingyun True Monarch left his Cave Mansion, first to activate the Sect Protection Array.

Then, he went to Myriad Flowers Hall to preside, summoning the Sect Leader Zhao Ming and the Core Formation Elders, issuing a series of strict orders.

Inside the hall, upon hearing these orders, Zhao Ming and the others were all stunned.

Earlier, they had witnessed the outside phenomenon and had already speculated it was related to the First Supreme Elder.

However, no one dared to think in this direction.

They thought perhaps Qi Chuan was cultivating some strange cultivation methods or divine techniques, even the Great True Monarch realm must have many things unknown to them.

But now, Qingyun True Monarch's orders confirmed a reality that left them utterly shaken.

That is, Qi Chuan is undergoing a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm!

This happening was beyond their wildest imaginations.

No one had ever anticipated that Qi Chuan's speed in cultivation breakthrough would reach such terrifying proportions.

…

Under Qingyun True Monarch's actions, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect seemed to transform into a turtle shell.

It could be said that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had displayed its most robust defensive posture.

Such a scene was witnessed by many observers.

After all, it's essential to know that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was no ordinary entity; it was a top-tier sect with a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, its every move was constantly monitored by various powers in the Cultivation Realm.

A sect of this caliber wouldn't usually face provocation.

However, now, even such a mighty sect had shown its ultimate defensive posture, what could be the cause?

What exactly happened?

For a time, many were baffled.

Until... a phenomenon of a spiritual cloud of ten colors, thousands of feet in size, rose from above the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, shocking everyone.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, some people started to feel a tingling on their scalps.

"This is...someone undergoing a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm?"

"Is it that Nine Inches Great True Monarch, Qi Chuan?"

Many were left speechless, murmuring.

No one believed it could be someone else.

In the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, there were only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Qingyun True Monarch was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it couldn't be him.

Besides, it could only be Qi Chuan.

Moreover, Qi Chuan, being a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, was the most likely candidate.

Yet, even so, too many people found it hard to believe.

Indeed, Qi Chuan was an exceptionally talented prodigy.

At his age, having reached the Nine Inches Great True Monarch realm had already exceeded many people's expectations.

But a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm?

Consider how many veteran Nine Inches Great True Monarchs in the Cultivation Realm, who achieved this status years before Qi Chuan, still haven't reached this stage.

Yet, Qi Chuan is attempting to achieve it today!

As the news quickly spread, like a stone falling into calm water, causing ripples, the Celestial North Domain, its nineteen states, and the expansive Chaotic Demon Sea began to become chaotic.

One after another, Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Great True Monarchs from various places flew into the void, looking remotely towards Beihua State, in the direction of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, their expressions changing.

Great True Monarch Profound Nether, Great True Monarch of Five Poison, Great True Monarch Gu Wang, Great True Monarch Lü Liu...

One familiar face after another of Great True Monarchs surfaced with expressions of shock.

These people were all renowned Great True Monarchs, with varying levels of power.

Previously, upon hearing Qi Chuan stepped into the Nine Inches Great True Monarch realm, they were all envious.

And today, witnessing Qi Chuan start his breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm, their inner feelings were utterly transformed.

Chaotic Demon Sea, Cyan Gang Sect.

Great True Monarch Qing Gang was also suspended in the void, looking toward the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect with an astonished expression.

"Starting a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm... Qi Chuan... how could he progress so quickly?"

He remembered years ago when he and Qi Chuan emerged from the Kunlun Demon Realm, during their farewell, he laughed and said to Qi Chuan, maybe the next time they met, he would be a Nine Inches Great True Monarch.

Then, shortly after returning, news of Qi Chuan's advancement to Nine Inches Great True Monarch emerged from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, astonishing him back then.

And now, how long has it been?

Qi Chuan… is actually starting the breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm?

"Qi Chuan... is he breaking through to the Divinity Transformation realm?"

In the void behind, a scarlet silhouette flew up swiftly, it was Chi Yue Fairy.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes gazed in the direction of Beihua State, quite surprised, but there was also a touch of joy in her eyes.

Coincidentally, on Baihua Island some distance from Cyan Gang Sect, Gong Yunrou, who heard the news, was also all smiles.
