Chapter 173: Chapter 92 Promotion, Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutationi

Such an unexpected gain surprised Shen Yuan, but he quickly realized what was happening.

“The achievement of the Yin God can be regarded as the symbol of entering the Divinity Transformation Realm. Normally one should keep refining Elemental Qi and washing the Divine Sense until the Divine Sense forms the Primordial Spirit.

The premise of achieving a Yin God can be said to be refining Elemental Qi, and the Yin God would naturally attract the free Elemental Qi between heaven and earth.

I relied on the Divine Yuan Lingzhi to achieve the Yin God, which is equivalent to forcibly skipping the step of refining Elemental Qi, but the characteristics of the Yin God won’t change because of this.

As the Yin God attracts the free Elemental Qi between heaven and earth and completes Elemental Qi Absorption, it is a matter of course.”

This unexpected situation made Shen Yuan couldn’t help but sigh:

“Directly achieving the Yin God in the Qi Transformation Stage and completing Elemental Qi Absorption by using the characteristics of the Yin God, I’m afraid there are only a few cases in the history of the entire Cultivation World.”

Shen Yuan was not wrong in his thinking. Although there are high-level treasures that can allow cultivators to give birth to Yin Gods in advance, they also require certain prerequisites.

Having a strong Divine Sense and being able to gather Divine Sense to form a human shape is the foundation for producing a Yin God.

Without completing these prerequisites, even if a cultivator at the Qi Transformation Stage uses Divine Yuan Lingzhi, it won’t work.

Shen Yuan was able to complete these two steps in the Qi Transformation Stage, mainly relying on the strengthening of his Divine Sense by the Sword Technique Seed of Divine Power of the Earth Fiend Sword Art, and the false Primordial Spirit formed by the Primordial Spirit Bead.

Although the Primordial Spirit Bead is rare, it still leaves traces.

However, the Sword Technique Seed of Divine Power of the Earth Fiend Sword Art is far beyond the realm of heavenly treasures and is not obtainable by other cultivators in the Qi Transformation Stage.

Shen Yuan relied on the Sword Technique Seed of Divine Power of the Earth Fiend Sword Art to gain the Strength of Divine Thought comparable to a cultivator in the Qi Training Stage. Coupled with the false Primordial Spirit, he can complete the prerequisites for the Yin God.

Looking at the history of the entire Primal Chaos Realm, no one could be found to achieve Yin God with such a God in the Qi Transformation Stage.

Feeling the Elemental Qi merging into his body under the guidance of the Yin God, Shen Yuan did not choose to suppress his realm, but let it naturally complete the promotion.

During the period of time he attempted Elemental Qi Absorption, Shen Yuan’s Mana accumulation and cultivation base had reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage without further advancement, so it was time to complete the promotion.

With the free Elemental Qi between heaven and earth continuously gathering, the heaven and earth that presented in front of Shen Yuan’s eyes became clearer and clearer.

In the end, with the Elemental Qi that was introduced into the body was successfully refined by the “Purple Clouds Elemental Qi Refinement Method”, Shen Yuan successfully stepped into the second step of the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension, Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation!

As soon as he stepped into Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation, Shen Yuan could feel that the world in front of him had undergone completely different changes.

Before the Qi Training Stage, the power of each spell that a Mana can drive, and the quantity of talismans that can be drawn are fixed.

But after stepping into the Qi Training Stage, the cultivator can perceive the free Elemental Qi between heaven and earth. The cultivator who absorbs Elemental Qi can use Mana to control these Elemental Qi, thereby making the spells more powerful, and the Mana used to draw talismans less consumed.

Most large-scale offensive spells require at least the promotion to the Qi Training Stage.

Therefore, the cultivators in the Qi Training Stage can exert far surpass the strength of those in the Qi Transformation Stage.

Stepping into the second step of Immortality Ascension and feeling the drastic changes, Shen Yuan truly realized the strong support that the realm gave to his own strength.

The free Elemental Qi between the heaven and earth can not only be incorporated into spells, but even Divine Skills can be enhanced by Elemental Qi-

At this time, Shen Yuan really realized a bit of the true meaning of the union of the sword and Elemental Qi, and he gradually gained some insights into the second realm of the Earth Fiend Sword Art.

Moreover, the benefits that Shen Yuan obtained in the process of achieving the Yin God were far more than that.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan’s thoughts sank into the Spiritual Platform, the Yin God sitting on the Spiritual Platform.

If you observe the Yin God carefully, you will find that most of Shen Yuan’s twin-like body appears to be a translucent dark blue color.

But on his forehead and a few parts of his body, there are blinking spots of golden glow like substance, which is completely different from the surrounding translucent body.

A slight smile appeared on Shen Yuan’s face, and he couldn’t help whispering to himself:

“Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames is the manifested power of the Great Sun. It is the most rigid and positive energy between heaven and earth. Ordinary Yin Gods, even if they just touch it, may fall into the realm of the Primordial Spirit at a lightly, or their spirit will scatter, they will never be reincarnated in severe cases.

I used a wisp of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames to strike a sword with the union of the sword and Elemental Qi, but because of my own weakness, I was contaminated with a bit of the remnants of the Great Sun’s True Flames, which caused damage to my Primordial Spirit and made it difficult to recover.” “Just when I forcibly recovered my Primordial Spirit’s injuries by using the Divine Yuan Lingzhi and further achieved the Yin God, the injury brought by the Great Sun’s True Flames has brought me a blessing in disguise.

The Yin God needs to go through an external catastrophe and undergo the Great Sun’s Cleansing to achieve the purest and most positive Primordial Spirit to upgrade to the Yang God.

The damage I suffered from the Great Sun’s True Flames is far higher than ordinary Great Sun’s Cleansing. Surprisingly, after the injury was recovered, my Yin God acquired some characteristics of the Yang God in advance and was able to travel out of my body in daylight to a certain extent.

Moreover, when facing those negative spells against the Yin God, I can also have a certain degree of immunity.

Though far from being compared with real Yang God, just this little characteristic is enough to crush many spirit transmutation powerhouses.

The future promotion to be Yang God should also be easier. After all, the first step to complete the Great Sun’s Cleansing is the most difficult. The rest is just to follow the process.”

Shen Yuan originally intended to repair the false Primordial Spirit’s injuries, but it brought a long chain reaction. This gave Shen Yuan a sense of surprise beyond expectation.

After successfully completing the promotion, Shen Yuan slowly got up from the cushion and did not choose to continue to practice or comprehend the “Insight into the Doctrine of Pot’s Heaven”.

Shen Yuan didn’t forget, he has a new disciple waiting outside.

When Shen Yuan faced Gong Buyu as a Qi Transformation Stage cultivator before, he did feel a bit unsure, after all, the disciple was a realm higher than the master, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

But now Shen Yuan has broken through early Qi Training Stage, significantly reducing the gap in his cultivation base, and successfully promoting his Yin God also gives Shen Yuan more confidence in facing Gong Buyu.

“Concerned about the wide gap in cultivation with my disciple, I must be the only master in this predicament,” Shen Yuan spoke to himself, with a hint of self-mockery, as he leisurely pushed open the door to his cultivation chamber. Just as he stepped in, he heard the icy tone of Gong Buyu’s voice.

“Senior Sister, is this appropriate?”

A black and white little kitten was lying back in Gong Buyu’s arms, lazily rubbing her fledgling bosom with its tiny white-gloved paws, while nibbling on a fragrant Spirit Fruit.

Gong Buyu was lovingly stroking the head of the kitten, causing it to purr in delight.

Upon hearing the noise from the cultivation chamber, Gong Buyu diverted her gaze, stood respectfully, and bowed.

“Greetings, Master!”

Shen Yuan waved his hand, shifting his attention to Bai Xue, who had wriggled free from Gong Buyu’s embrace.

“What did you just call her?”

Gong Buyu revealed a hint of confusion: “Senior Sister? Is there a problem?”

Shen Yuan shot a glance at Bai Xue on the stone table, trying to hide the half-eaten Spirit Fruit behind her. Her bulging belly, however, unmistakable evidence that she had managed to trick Gong Buyu out of many Spirit Fruits.

A twitch crept onto the corners of his mouth. He was all too familiar with Bai Xue’s gluttonous behavior.

He didn’t even need to ask. He knew that Bai Xue probably saw Gong Buyu randomly giving out Spirit Fruits, and decided to take advantage under his name, tricking Gong Buyu to get her hands on the fruits.

To make it sound more credible, Bai Xue even fabricated the title of ‘Senior Sister’.

Upon this realization, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but rub his temple and walked over grumpily to pick up Bai Xue by the scruff of her neck, reprimanding her, “Behave yourself, and stop causing problems!”

Bai Xue, hung by the neck, froze with a look of shock on her face. After a while, she carefully held out the Spirit Fruit in her paw towards Shen Yuan, her tiny face adorned with a flattering smile.

Seeing Bai Xue’s pitiful expression, Shen Yuan couldn’t bring himself to punish the little thing, and simply put her back onto the stone table. He then turned to Gong Buyu and said,

“Don’t give her too many Spirit Fruits, be careful she doesn’t get indigestion.”

Gong Buyu nodded earnestly, continuing to probe.

“Is Bai Xue really my Senior Sister?”

Shen Yuan glanced at Bai Xue, chose not to expose the lie and waved off the question instead.

“Something like that!”

As he spoke, he took a seat at the stone table.

Gong Buyu stood respectfully by his side, like a frosty, high-born maid.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan smiled helplessly and said, “Sit down, you don’t need to be so formal here, I’ve told you this place doesn’t require you to follow tedious formalities.”

Gong Buyu hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Bai Xue.

“Now that you have become my disciple, you also have the right to know the name of our sect.”

As he said this, Shen Yuan’s tone turned severe and Gong Buyu subconsciously widened her eyes.

She had always known the name of the Sect Master since she was a child, but the fact that few others knew it was overlooked. Even Gong Buhuo, her father, couldn’t elaborate on the name of the Sect Master.

Finally able to learn it from Shen Yuan’s mouth, her curiosity was piqued.

“Our sect is called Falling Clouds Sect, established so long ago its origin is unknown. The name of our sect is tied to certain taboo affairs and must not be revealed to a wide audience,” said Shen Yuan solemnly.

The repercussions of Heavenly Retribution were wide-ranging. All textual records pertaining to Falling Clouds Sect were altered, even the memories of cultivators were changed, to hide the existence of Falling Clouds Sect.

Shen Yuan wasn’t sure whether the mention of Falling Clouds Sect would trigger Heavenly Retribution once again. It was better to be cautious.

“Falling Clouds Sect?” Gong Buyu had no recollection of the name, yet Shen Yuan’s stern demeanor immediately put her on high alert.

“I shall abide by the Master’s command.”

Shen Yuan nodded, then asked,

“Your cultivation has reached the Peak Stage of Qi Refinement, and you’re on the brink of Spirit Transmutation. Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Gong Buyu furrowed her brows slightly and softly said, “At present, the rules of heaven and earth are not fully established. Although my cultivation is at the peak, it’s still hard to break into the Spirit Transmutation Stage. I need to wait for the further revival of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge.

To break into the Spirit Transmutation Stage, one needs to proceed from the Elemental Qi Refinement Method to the Spirit Refining Method. The True Beings and True Monarchs of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens wish to instill in me their Spirit Refining Technique, ‘Jade Sun Spirit Refining Technique’, but my father rejected them.

My father claims that ‘The Great Void Spirit-refining Technique’ of Falling Clouds Sect is the best in the Primal Chaos Realm. The best of all Spirit Refining Techniques. Since I’m becoming your disciple, there is no need to learn the Spirit Refining Techniques of other sects.”

Upon hearing ‘The Great Void Spirit-refining Technique’, Shen Yuan, sporting a cheerful smile, stiffened, and subconsciously cast a glance at the system interface’s main line mission reward – a reward that Shen Yuan had overlooked.

Shocking enough, that reward was the ‘The Great Void Spirit-refining Technique’, the world’s best Spirit Refining Technique Gong Buyu was talking about!
