Chapter 599: 508 Divinity Transformation Middle Stage_1

Sixty years passed quickly.

In the Donghua Cultivation Realm, the Spirt Control Prairie stretched across hundreds of thousands of miles and became the new headquarters for the Spirit Control Sect.

The Spirit Control Sect relocated to the Golden Crow Grassland, where a fifth-grade spirit vein thrived, abundant with spiritual energy.

The Golden Crow Grassland was renamed as the Spirit Control Prairie, and it spanned tens of millions of miles, all under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Control Sect.

In the Spirit Control Prairie stood a towering city with walls a thousand feet high, seemingly endless at first glance. On the city gate, one could see the three large characters "Spirit Control City," with many cultivators coming in and out.

The Spirit Control Sect recruited far and wide throughout the Qianyang Realm, gathering disciples and exceeding the count of a hundred thousand. It became the largest sect in the Qianyang Realm, boasting as many as two Soul Transformation Cultivators.

After years of recuperation, the vitality of the Spirit Control Sect was gradually recovering.

At the foot of a steep peak within Spirit Control City, there stood a green stone tablet inscribed with three silver characters: "Golden Roc Peak."

Golden Roc Peak served as Shen Long’s residence and was also the Spirit Control Sect’s forbidden area. Apart from a few high-ranking members, ordinary disciples could not enter Golden Roc Peak.

A blue escape light flew in from the distance and stopped with a flicker.

The light dissipated, revealing the figure of Lin Sen.

He had now reached the early Nascent Soul Stage and was the new Sect Leader of the Spirit Control Sect. Chen Xiao had failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage and, having exhausted his lifespan, had passed away.

Lin Sen sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman and, before long, Shen Long’s voice rang out, "Master Nephew Lin, come in and talk."

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Lin Sen complied and entered Golden Roc Peak.

At the top of Golden Roc Peak there was a spacious estate, with the name "Golden Roc Garden" written on its signboard.

Shen Long was sitting in a green stone pavilion, with Shen Hai standing by his side.

After sixty years of secluded cultivation, Shen Long had successfully advanced to the middle stage of Divinity Transformation, while Shen Hai had reached the late Nascent Soul Stage.

"Disciple pays his respects to Uncle Shen."

Lin Sen bowed respectfully, his expression reverent.

Even he had not expected that he would have the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage and become the leader of the Spirit Control Sect.

His grandfather was merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, and his father, Lin Shan, had died at the Foundation Establishment Stage. For three generations, his family had been serving Shen Long, and it was Lin Sen’s generation that finally distinguished themselves.

"Is there something the matter?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"Senior Chu Buyu from the Sun Moon Palace has ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage and is holding a celebration. He has invited many guests. One of Senior Chu’s disciples came over with an invitation, hoping Uncle Shen would attend," Lin Sen replied.

Lin Sen took out a gold-embossed invitation and handed it to Shen Long with both hands.

Shen Long glanced at it briefly, then set it down on the table, saying, "I see, I will attend punctually."

Chu Buyu’s advancement to the Divinity Transformation Stage was within Shen Long’s expectations. He had a close friendship with Chu Buyu and naturally would attend.

"Has Senior Brother Yuan not returned yet?" Shen Long asked.

He had given the Tianyuan Sword to Yuan Rui, allowing him to travel freely to other realms to collect resources and trade with other powers.

The Spirit Control Sect now had a hundred thousand disciples, unparalleled in its splendor. The Qianyang Realm couldn’t support such a behemoth for long; over time, the Spirit Control Sect would either be destroyed by other forces, or it would eradicate other forces and unify the Qianyang Realm.

In fact, the Spirit Control Sect already had the qualifications to unify the Qianyang Realm. In name, it was no different from having already unified it; no power in the Qianyang Realm would dare to provoke the Spirit Control Sect.

With the Tianyuan Sword in hand, Yuan Rui could travel to other realms for trade, exchanging goods to alleviate the pressure on the Spirit Control Sect and also acquiring items needed by Soul Transformation Cultivators.

"Not yet. If there’s any news, the branch in the Southern Border will use the large Messaging Array to inform us," Lin Sen reported.

"Understood, you may go busy yourself with other tasks," Shen Long instructed.

Lin Sen acknowledged and left Golden Roc Peak, but soon he returned.

"Uncle Shen, Master Uncle Yuan has returned, and Senior Han Feng is with him," Lin Sen informed him.

Lin Sen reported in.

"Please have them come to the Golden Roc Garden,"

Shen Long ordered.

"It’s been a while since we last met, Junior Brother Shen. Your cultivation has greatly improved,"

Yuan Rui’s hearty voice rang out.

No sooner had he spoken than Yuan Rui and Han Feng descended from the sky, landing in front of Shen Long.

Han Feng’s complexion was pale, and his left arm had vanished, clearly indicating a serious loss of vital energy.

He had been gravely injured by Yin Yue and had even self-destructed his life-bound magical treasure to escape.

He had been healing somewhere in the Tianyuan Realm for years and had mostly recovered before daring to leave. He discovered that the Tianyuan Realm had become the domain of the Human Clan. Fortunately, Yuan Rui was in the Tianyuan Realm and he brought Han Feng back to the Qianyang Realm.

"Taoist Friend Shen has advanced to the middle stage!"

Han Feng exclaimed in surprise, his face full of envy.

The cultivation resources in the Lower Realm are scarce, making it very difficult to reach the middle stage of Divinity Transformation.

Judging by the time, it hasn’t even been two hundred years since Shen Long entered the Divinity Transformation Stage. Even if he had taken some Essence Advancing Spiritual Power fifth-order elixirs, it shouldn’t have allowed him to reach the middle stage of Divinity Transformation so quickly!

Thinking of Shen Long’s life-bound spirit bird, Han Feng understood.

"Junior Brother Shen, I made a trip outside and upon my return, you’ve advanced to the middle stage. Congratulations!"

Yuan Rui congratulated.

Lin Sen brought out the tea set to brew tea and then he and Shen Hai retired.

"Taoist Friend Han, how did you end up like this?"

Shen Long asked curiously. After all, Han Feng had fifth-order healing pills on him!

Han Feng let out a sigh and briefly recounted what had happened.

"Taoist Friend Han, if I hadn’t taken the Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixir you refined, I definitely would have died,"

Han Feng said gratefully.

His injuries were too severe, and even with the Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixir, the healing was slow. Without it, his injuries would have been fatal.

"This is the Golden Lake Pill I refined; its healing effects are quite good."

Shen Long took out a golden jade box and handed it to Han Feng.

He had obtained several fifth-order pill formulas, and the Golden Lake Pill was one of them.

Han Feng opened the jade box and saw five golden pills inside, his face lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen. I don’t deserve such a gift without providing any service in return, but if you need my help, just say the word!"

Han Feng declared, patting his chest.

His purpose in coming to the Qianyang Realm this time was to acquire healing pills.

"I’d like Taoist Friend Han to help me elevate this treasure to a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. All the materials are ready. I’ve also acquired some fifth-order Artifact Refining materials. If it’s convenient for you, help me refine a few Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures. I’ll compensate you with Essence Advancing Spiritual Power elixirs,"

Shen Long took out the Zyphyxial Blade and a green storage bracelet, handing them over to Han Feng.

"I’ve also collected a few fifth-order materials; could Taoist Friend Han help elevate my life-bound magic treasure to a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

Yuan Rui took out a yellow storage bracelet, his face full of anticipation.

"A small matter, leave it to me,"

Han Feng agreed. Something occurred to him and he said, "Taoist Friend Shen, I heard you’ve killed a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot? You must have obtained more formidable treasures, right? Still in need of Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures?"

"That person was a Spirit Controller, and he didn’t have many low-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures on him. Strictly speaking, the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures we use are all low-grade,"

Shen Long explained.

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures are divided into four tiers: low, middle, high, and extreme. Soul Transformation Cultivators usually use low-grade ones.

The higher the grade of a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the more mana it consumes.
