Chapter 698 - 379: Divinity Transformation Patriarch

Often before a breakthrough, the higher the quality of the Nascent Soul, the stronger the divine soul becomes after advancing to Divinity Transformation.

This is reflected in the ability to control the amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. In magical combat between Divinity Transformation cultivators, victory or defeat often depends on the contest for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which is closely related to the divine soul.

Fortunately, Qi Chuan is also full of confidence in this aspect.

Before he attempted to break through to Divinity Transformation, he possessed a ten-inch ultimate Nascent Soul.

Naturally, after advancing to Divinity Transformation, he is confident that his divine soul will not lose to anyone in magical combat.

At this moment, Qi Chuan lightly grasped with his hand, and immediately Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions, transforming into a cluster of solid flames, emitting a terrifying temperature and twisting the void.

This cluster of flames did not require Qi Chuan to use any mana.

It was purely formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, yet its power was immense.

However, Qi Chuan looked at this cluster of flames, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Because, just as he was casting magic, he felt as if something in his life was slipping away.

Upon careful perception, it seemed to be a trace of Qi Chuan's lifespan.

"This Heaven and Earth imposes certain restrictions on Divinity Transformation cultivators..."

Qi Chuan lifted his head, gazing through some obstructions within the Cave Mansion, looking at the sky outside, and murmured to himself.

In fact, long before his breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, upon seeing all these years, the rumors of no Divinity Transformation cultivators taking action, Qi Chuan had already speculated in his heart that perhaps this Heaven and Earth has some kind of restriction on Divinity Transformation cultivators.

He once speculated about multiple possible factors.

Now, it is finally revealed that it is indeed lifespan!

"Lifespan, huh..."

Qi Chuan expressed poignant emotion.

Even now, his lifespan can be said to be quite ample, but naturally, he has no intention to squander his lifespan mindlessly.

After all, the matter of lifespan is something one cannot have too much, but having too little is undesirable.

For now, he looked at the cluster of flames made from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in his hand and quickly waved his hand to disperse it.

"It seems I'll need to refrain from acting hastily unless absolutely necessary..."

Qi Chuan shook his head, thinking to himself.

"Next, I should start comprehending the Sword Dao Divine Techniques contained in the thirteenth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique."

Qi Chuan made plans for the future, opting not to leave seclusion immediately.

During these five years, he has continuously nurtured his strength, with no idle time.

Therefore, after the breakthrough, he has not yet comprehended the Sword Dao Divine Techniques embedded in the thirteenth layer of the Sword Technique.

This time, he should comprehend them before going out.

Fortunately, the thirteenth layer of the Sword Technique was deduced by Qi Chuan himself, making it quite easy for him to comprehend these new Sword Dao Divine Techniques.

Therefore, under Qi Chuan's diligent comprehension, three months passed, and he finally succeeded in comprehending the new Sword Dao Divine Technique.

Its name is: Sword Refining Domain.

This Sword Dao Divine Technique, once unleashed, can mobilize the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all directions, forming a large-scale Sword Dao Domain that condenses ten thousand swords to annihilate all.

Its power is extremely terrifying, capable of slaying Divinity Transformation cultivators!

However, after comprehending this Sword Dao Divine Technique, Qi Chuan, though pleased, felt quite helpless.

"I will never casually unleash this Sword Dao Divine Technique unless at crucial moments."

He secretly made a resolve in his heart.

Kidding, once this Sword Dao Domain is unleashed, the lifespan it consumes would be as if flowing away like water, never to return.

This would cause him considerable heartache.

Of course, if it comes to crucial moments, it must be unleashed regardless.

The key, however, is the attitude of the other two Divinity Transformation cultivators towards him.

"Now that Divinity Transformation has been achieved, and new Sword Dao Divine Techniques have been successfully comprehended, it's time to exit seclusion."

Qi Chuan thought within himself.

Immediately, he stood tall and walked towards the outside of the Cave Mansion.

Boom...

The doors outside the Tier Four Cave Mansion, silent for several years, finally began to slowly open.

A young cultivator with an ethereal demeanor and a handsome appearance emerged from within, wearing a slight smile.

"Is that... the First Supreme Elder?"

Not far away, a Core Formation Elder was on guard, it was Yu Yi, specially instructed by Qingyun True Monarch to stand guard here.

For the past few years, a Core Formation Elder would take turns guarding outside the Cave Mansion.

However, Qingyun True Monarch had strictly ordered, only to guard Qi Chuan's exit from seclusion, not to make even the slightest disturbance, otherwise, punishment would be severe.

Recently, it happened to be Yu Yi's turn.

At this moment, she was originally seated cross-legged, but when she saw the young man emerging from the Cave Mansion, she froze, wiping her slender hand across her eyes to ensure it was not an illusion.

"So it's Elder Yu Yi." Seeing Yu Yi, Qi Chuan smiled.

"Yu Yi, pays respects to the First... no... pays respects to our sect's Divinity Transformation Ancestor!"

Realizing it was not an illusion, Yu Yi hurriedly stood up in a bit of a panic, and without hesitation, bent down in salute before Qi Chuan.

"Divinity Transformation Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this title, Qi Chuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

If truth be told, he is actually younger than Yu Yi, yet he is already being called Ancestor, creating a feeling as if suddenly aging thousands of years...

Let it be, let it be.

Qi Chuan shook his head, not bothering about it, he nodded to Yu Yi and asked, "Troubled Elder Yu Yi. Where is Senior Brother Qingyun?"

"The Second Supreme Elder is currently in Myriad Flowers Hall." Yu Yi responded quickly.

"Alright."

Qi Chuan nodded, casually rewarded Yu Yi with a bottle of elixir, then transformed into a ray of light and headed towards Myriad Flowers Hall.

Yes.

This was purely using his own mana, and moreover, it was a relatively mana-saving approach, without any reduction in lifespan...

Myriad Flowers Hall.

In the great hall, Qingyun True Monarch was presiding, at this moment, there was no one else in the hall, only Sect Leader Zhao Ming was listening to commands.

Actually, over the past few years, within and outside Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, everything displayed a very stable scene, with no major incidents happening.

However, as long as Qi Chuan hasn't exited seclusion for one day, Qingyun True Monarch would not let down his guard, because he knows how many eyes in the Cultivation Realm are watching Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and must exercise extreme caution.

Just after instructing Zhao Ming on some matters, Qingyun True Monarch slightly lifted his fatigued head, and suddenly saw a ray of light silent outside the hall, followed by a handsome young figure that appeared without a sound.

"Q- Qi Chuan Junior Brother?"

Looking at this familiar face, Qingyun True Monarch couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In these past few years, he had frequently thought about when Qi Chuan would emerge, yet he never expected that today, raising his eyes casually, he would see the other party's appearance.

In the hall, upon hearing these words, Zhao Ming shook with fright, his remaining peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the figure outside, and quickly lowered his head, bowed, and exclaimed, "Zhao Ming, pays respects to our sect's Divinity Transformation Ancestor!"

"Sect Leader, no need for such formality."

Qi Chuan walked in with a slightly dark expression, not yet fully accustomed to this form of address.

"Junior Brother has finally emerged... The breakthrough is undoubtedly successful?"

Qingyun True Monarch asked concernedly.

Though he felt almost certain, ultimately hearing Qi Chuan personally confirm it would put his mind at ease.

"Yes, it has indeed been successful."

Qi Chuan gently nodded, then came to sit atop the grand hall.

"Great! Great! Great..."

Hearing Qi Chuan's words, even with Qingyun True Monarch's temperament, he could not help but become slightly tremulous with excitement at this moment.

"So, when should the announcement be made to the Cultivation Realm, and the Ascension Ceremony be held?"

Qingyun True Monarch asked again after a good while of excitement.

"Anytime is fine."

Qi Chuan said, "However, let's keep this occasion as small as possible; I'm not planning to make too many appearances right now."

Ever since realizing that controlling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would consume lifespan after Divinity Transformation, Qi Chuan intended to adopt a semi-hidden or fully-hidden state in the future.

With the status of a Divinity Transformation, showing up frequently and stirring up storms might be disadvantageous in terms of cause and effect.

"Alright, no problem, Junior Brother Qi Chuan only needs to make a one-time appearance."

Qingyun True Monarch nodded, making a guarantee.

Indeed, as long as Qi Chuan advances to Divinity Transformation, other minor details truly hold no importance.

The deserved status and respect will not be omitted.
