Chapter 2294 - 2253: Advancing to Divine Thought

Wang Xiaoqiang paid no mind to Cloud Heaven Immortal's sorrow or not. With a thought, he activated the Soul and Spirit Cultivation Manual, and from his palm surged a large, golden flame that engulfed the two ghostly faces.

When the ghostly faces were roasted by the flame, they softened instantly and scattered, transforming into three Divine Souls and seven Divine Spirits.

The three Divine Souls and seven Divine Spirits, under the refining heat of the flames, converted into streams of energy that entered his body through his arm, finally entering Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Aperture, beginning the condensation of Divine Sense.

Divine Thought level Divine Souls and Spirits are far from ordinary, and the energy they formed was incredibly dense. Wang Xiaoqiang harnessed these streams of energy to condense a total of eighteen Divine Senses, far exceeding expectations.

After the eighteen streams of energy condensed, Wang Xiaoqiang's Spirit Platform shook violently. Then it suddenly brightened up, differing from its previous state.

At the same time, his aura surged dramatically, increasing by a substantial margin. That aura was unprecedentedly powerful, especially his eyes, which became brighter and sharper, seeming to see and control everything.

This is the aura that a Divine Thought should have. After condensing thirty Divine Senses, the Spirit Platform becomes clearer than before, and the control over the Divine Sense becomes more flexible and free. These are things a Divine Thought ought to possess.

These phenomena indicate that Wang Xiaoqiang has already advanced to the level of Divine Thought.

Throughout the Ancient Continent, entities of the Divine Thought level, apart from the ruler of the Ancient Continent—the Ancient Divine Emperor and his four guardians, also included the Sect Leader of the Danyang Sect, Danyang Immortal, the Sect Leader of the Constellation Sect, Patriarch of the Constellation, and the just-turned-to-walking-dead Cloud Heaven Immortal.

This made a total of eight individuals. Now one Cloud Heaven Immortal was wasted, and one Wang Xiaoqiang was added, keeping the Ancient Continent with eight Divine Thoughts.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang's Super Physical Body was not completely forged yet, which meant that his cultivation realm had not reached the pinnacle state of Mold Stage of the Immortal and was still lingering at this stage. This indicated that he was the first person since the creation of heaven and earth to upgrade across realms.

Generally speaking, such cross-realm upgrades do not happen, but precisely because of Wang Xiaoqiang's abnormal Physical Body and extraordinary cultivation, he became the first person to upgrade across realms.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang did not think much of it, as his upgrades always came swiftly. He did not become arrogant just because he advanced to Divine Thought quickly. Next, having schemed against Cloud Heaven Immortal and eliminated the current top adversary, he could now cultivate at ease for a while.

The next day.

The news of Cloud Heaven Immortal being schemed into a walking dead only spread from the Cloud Heaven Sect then, and once it did spread, it immediately shook the entire Ancient Continent. Because Cloud Heaven Immortal was a Divine Thought, and across the Ancient Continent, there were only eight Divine Thoughts in total, now suddenly one was schemed against, it was extraordinarily strange. What kind of person could turn a Divine Thought into a walking dead, this matter had too much of a sensational effect.

Cloud Heaven Immortal's death not only caused a great uproar throughout Ancient times but also disturbed the Ancient Divine Emperor. The Ancient Divine Emperor had been in closed cultivation lately, intending to break through a bottleneck and enter the fourth step of Divine Thought, "Divine Sense Transformation," thus he had not cared for mundane matters recently, focusing solely on cultivation.

But the Grand Sect Leader of the Tenth-Level Sect, a Divine Thought being schemed against wasn't a minor matter. Upon hearing the news, the Ancient Divine Emperor had to halt his cultivation to look into the affair, and he immediately dispatched the four great guardians to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Meanwhile, Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation, upon receiving the news, had already personally arrived at the Cloud Heaven Sect, entering the secret chamber where Cloud Heaven Immortal resided.

Two Divine Thoughts scrutinizing another Divine Thought, observing him up and down. Cloud Heaven Immortal sat there, eyes hollow and lifeless, not eating or drinking, speaking or showing any expression, without emotional fluctuation. Occasionally he would stand and walk aimlessly like a wandering spirit without direction.

"His soul and spirit is lost, already turned into a walking dead. Alas, what a pity." Patriarch of the Constellation gazed at Cloud Heaven Immortal, shaking his head and sighing.

"This should be the work of the Thousand-Mile Soul Search Technique," Danyang Immortal stared at the red dot on Cloud Heaven Immortal's brow, saying "However, I can't understand, the Thousand-Mile Soul Search Technique is powerful for sure, but how did the Divine Sense penetrate the Cloud Heaven Sect's Protective Sect Array?"

"It's most likely that Wang Xiaoqiang, that boy is a freak." Patriarch of the Constellation's expression was stern, saying "Disciples who have confronted him said that this kid's cultivation base is merely at the Mold Stage of the Immortal, but regardless of physical body or divine sense, both are incredibly strong, extraordinarily so..."

"Brother Constellation, if so, we should join forces to deal with him." Danyang Immortal said.

"More than just joining forces, we must report this matter to the Divine Emperor promptly, lest he suspects us of involvement," Patriarch of the Constellation tightly knitted his brows, face full of anxiety.

Just as they spoke, the sound of something breaking through the void was heard, and four figures shot through like electricity, arriving in front in a blink, precisely the four great guardians of the Ancient Divine Emperor.

Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation's cultivation was only at the first step of Divine Thought "Divine Sense Becomes a River," whereas the four great guardians of the Ancient Divine Emperor were at the second step "Divine Sense as a River." In terms of cultivation base or official capacity, they were above the two sect leaders, hence Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation immediately adopted a respectful attitude upon seeing the four, clasped hand and fist together and saluted "Greetings, Venerable Protectors."

The four protectors nodded slightly, their demeanor indifferent, expressionless, eyes only focusing on the puppet-like mechanically moving Cloud Heaven Immortal, eyes filled with deep doubt.

The one who could turn Cloud Heaven Immortal into a walking dead must have formidable cultivation strength. In the eyes of the four protectors, at least it shouldn't be lower than Divine Thought.

So now, Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation became their primary suspects, and the gaze of the four Venerable Protectors was sharply fixed on those two.

Feeling the gaze fixed on them, Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation were immediately uncomfortable, legs shaking. Patriarch of the Constellation quickly stepped forward, fists clasped towards the four protectors, explaining "Venerable Protectors, I have a matter to report."

The leading Green Dragon Guardian's eyes flashed, looked at him, and ordered "Report quickly."

Patriarch of the Constellation immediately reported the matter of Cloud Heaven Immortal taking people to hunt Wang Xiaoqiang misguidedly trying to acquire the Golden Blood Boy, and also laid bare the matter of their Three Sect Alliance, although this would make them appear ruthless and greedy, selfish and unscrupulous, it could clear their selves of involvement, redirecting the suspicion of the four protectors onto Wang Xiaoqiang.

"You say that person named Wang Xiaoqiang only has cultivation at the Mold Stage of the Immortal?" Green Dragon Guardian listened and didn't believe it at all, with a face full of doubt.

"Indeed, but, Venerable Protector, listen to me, that kid's strength is extremely monstrous..." Patriarch of the Constellation had not finished speaking when Green Dragon Guardian interrupted him saying "Monstrous? How monstrous? Even if he has the Thousand-Mile Soul Search Technique, but previously how could he injure a Divine Thought, then scheme against it, not to mention, the Protective Sect Array of Cloud Heaven Sect was practically non-existent against him?"

Danyang Immortal and Patriarch of the Constellation were baffled by this too. Now Green Dragon Guardian raised this query, they naturally couldn't answer, Patriarch of the Constellation stammered, tongue-tied.

Danyang Immortal was left speechless.

"The one who could harm Cloud Heaven Immortal like this surely has cultivation above Divine Thought. Among us in Ancient times, Divine Thought is limited to only this few, the Divine Emperor shouldn't be suspected, he wants to kill Cloud Heaven Immortal need not assassinate, with the Divine Emperor there to uphold balance, we four wouldn't dare secretly harm Cloud Heaven Immortal either, now, only you two are left unable to clarify your relation. Hence, we're not making things difficult for you, you both accompany us to see the Divine Emperor, and explain this matter to him face to face..."
