That day, Ying Guanghua awaited a very important person.
"What instructions does the Patriarch have?"
Looking at Chen Chun before him, Ying Guanghua asked calmly.
As the last disciple of Qian Xing, she was always the one to deliver significant news on Gathering-Immortals Peak. This time was no exception.
"This is the Divine Nature of the Earth Dragon God. The teacher hopes you can use the Shocking God Sonata to transform into a Divinity, becoming the Sky-Pillaring White Jade Column of the Patching Heaven Lineage after him."
With a solemn expression, Chen Chun picked up the silver briefcase she brought and handed it to the delighted Ying Guanghua.
"The student thanks the Patriarch for the opportunity to transform into a Divinity!"
After Ying Guanghua heard this, he resisted the impulse to snatch it and first turned to perform the ancient rites of the Patching Heaven Lineage toward the direction of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains. Then he stood up and extended both hands to take the silver briefcase.
"The Divine Nature contains immense power and some Great Dao Rules, so it cannot be stored within a Domain. It must be sealed with this special material, and the teacher placed a Talisman on it. The method to unravel it is like this..."
Chen Chun began to speak, but in the end, her lips moved silently, making no sound.
Ying Guanghua thought she was using Sound Transmission, and not hearing it, he frowned slightly. As he prepared to inquire, the briefcase in his hand suddenly opened, and a dark yellow claw thrust out abruptly.
In the face of a life and death crisis, the True Qi that Ying Guanghua had cultivated through centuries of bitter effort erupted, forming a Rank-5 Defensive Magic Radiant Spirit Shield. His Lifespan Artifact also bloomed with Spiritual Light behind his head, and a large golden bell encased his entire body from above.
Even if Chen Mobai himself wielded the Purple Electric Sword, this would be enough to block it.
Yet, against the simple, unadorned claw from the briefcase, all his defenses were as fragile as paper.
With a pop!
The claw had already pierced through the Radiant Spirit Shield he spent centuries cultivating, sinking into his Dantian Qi Sea. With a twist, it rendered his flesh useless.
Clang!
At this moment, Ying Guanghua’s Lifespan Artifact had just fallen, the edge of the large bell striking the dark yellow claw, producing a harsh sound of metal clashing, bouncing back upwards.
Seeing this, Ying Guanghua, in disbelief, coughed up blood and began to retreat rapidly.
But the dark yellow claw had already seized his spine, and as he retreated, his entire body began to tear apart.
With no other choice, Ying Guanghua abandoned his flesh, allowing his Nascent Soul to emerge. Driving his Lifespan Artifact, silver light flashing, he attempted to use Void Walk to escape.
"Junior, after all these years, you’re still standing in place, making no progress at all."
The voice that made Ying Guanghua widen his eyes sounded in his ear, and he suddenly realized that the surrounding void had become like a quagmire, causing his Void Walk to stay stuck within it.
Another dark yellow claw appeared above Ying Guanghua’s Nascent Soul, the Radiant Spirit Shield exploding with Spiritual Light to protect the Nascent Soul within.
Yet in the instant the golden bell and the claw touched, Ying Guanghua sensed his artifact wailing.
Strands of dark yellow Demonic Qi rippled, and the superior-grade Fourth Rank artifact’s Spiritual Light suddenly dissipated, dropping as if it had turned into ordinary iron.
Ying Guanghua wanted to mobilize his Nascent Soul to unleash a final desperate attack, but a powerful Divine Sense far beyond his realm assailed him, rendering even his True Qi uncontrollable, his Nascent Soul flickering in and out of existence.
The dark yellow claw struck again, effortlessly dismantling all his earthen yellow True Qi, seizing Ying Guanghua firmly in its grasp.
"You... have reached the Spirit Transformation Stage!?"
Ying Guanghua, his Nascent Soul captured, faced the "Chen Chun" before him in disbelief.
"For that, I must thank you. If it hadn’t been for you reporting me to the Patriarch back then, causing me to lose his trust, I wouldn’t have fully resolved to defect from the Immortal Gate and walk another path."
As Chen Chun spoke, her entire being flickered with dark yellow Demonic Qi, transforming into the image of Lin Daoming.
In the past, he had collaborated with Yan Xinji on a project to cultivate Immortal Sprouts, but traces were discovered by Ying Guanghua, who was then the Orthodox Law Hall Master, and directly reported to Qian Xing.
From that moment on, Lin Daoming lost the trust of Qian Xing, and the power of the Patching Heaven Lineage was gradually transferred to Ying Guanghua. Eventually, he wasn’t even granted the chance for becoming Divinity, leaving him with no choice but to defect.
"Impossible; outside the Earth Element Star, there shouldn’t be any resources or Spiritual Energy for Divinity Transformation."
Ying Guanghua still couldn’t understand how Lin Daoming could successfully transform into a Divinity after leaving the Immortal Gate.
He didn’t believe the Ascension Sect had such resources, and even if they did, they wouldn’t grant them to someone joining halfway like Lin Daoming.
"Frog in a well, you have no comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Dao’s profound mystery. All things in the world originate from Spiritual Energy. Once the realm is high enough, one can refine all things into Spirit, with infinite resources for cultivation at their disposal."
As Lin Daoming spoke, he stepped up to the silver briefcase, closing it with his hand. Instantly, the dark yellow claw holding both Ying Guanghua’s flesh and Nascent Soul vanished.
Freed from restraint, Ying Guanghua’s Nascent Soul flickered with Spiritual Light, attempting once again to teleport away. But hit by Lin Daoming’s Spirit Transformation Stage’s Divine Sense, he lost consciousness almost instantly, nearly causing his Nascent Soul to dissolve and his life to end on the spot.
"Junior, I initially intended to kill you, but I’ve suddenly realized that sparing you and letting you witness Qian Xing’s demise, the fall of the Patching Heaven Lineage, and even the transformation of the entire Immortal Gate into cosmic dust, would be much more painful for you as revenge."
