Chapter 675: 584 Self-Healing Body_1

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as one bolt of heavenly tribulation after another relentlessly struck down, sending out powerful shock waves.

Wherever the shock waves passed, towering peaks turned to dust, vegetation was shredded into countless splinters, and dust billowed into the air.

Less than half an hour later, the thunderclouds churned and surged, revealing arcs of green, red, blue, white, and gold.

"Five-Colored Divine Thunder," Shen Long exclaimed.

He had also drawn the Five-Colored Divine Thunder when he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, whereas the Thunder Roc, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, and the Ice Flood Dragon only faced the Four-Colored Divine Lightning upon their advance to the fifth rank. It was no surprise that the descendant of the Grinning Beast, the Water Lie Beast, faced the Five-Colored Divine Thunder upon reaching the fifth rank.

The purity of the Water Lie Beast’s bloodline was already at six at the fourth rank. Shen Long wondered if it could reach seven upon ascending to the fifth rank.

A thunderous boom, deafening to the ears, filled the air as a thick bolt of Five-Colored Divine Lightning tore through the sky, striking down at the Water Lie Beast below.

"Master, seven Soul Transformation Cultivators are approaching from the northwest," spoke the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

Shen Long’s brow furrowed as he activated the Spirit-Enhancing Pearl, his divine sense surged, reaching out towards the northwest.

About fifteen hundred miles away, a flying boat enveloped in ceaseless turquoise light sped across the sky. Five men and two women stood on it, led by a full-figured woman in a green dress.

A powerful divine sense swept across all seven individuals, startling the woman in the green dress, who promptly halted the turquoise flying boat with a clench of her spell.

"Go back from whence you came," a commanding male voice echoed from the heavens.

"Yes, senior," the woman in the green dress trembled as she responded.

Such a formidable divine sense; she had only felt it from Void Refining Cultivators before, and subconsciously assumed Shen Long was one of them.

With a pinch of her spell, the turquoise flying boat burst into brilliance, retracing its path and soon disappeared into the horizon.

An island shrouded in a sea of white mist occasionally trembled with a thunderous boom, as if a mighty being was undergoing its tribulation.

The entire island shook violently, the white mist swirling tumultuously, revealing a glimpse of a cluster of Five-Colored Divine Light.

Shen Long stood atop a mountain peak, his gaze fixed on the distant Five-Colored Divine Light.

After a while, the light dissipated, leaving a huge crater emitting black smoke on the ground.

A naked young man lay in the crater, his body covered with fresh, blood-soaked wounds and blue spiritual patterns, including one on his forehead.

The young man’s body shined with blue light, his wounds healing at a speed visible to the naked eye as dead skin sloughed off his body automatically.

"A Self-Healing Body," Shen Long said in surprise.

Such a physique was something only a few high-rank Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects possessed, allowing for rapid self-healing and even limb regeneration—naturally, a severed head was beyond self-repair.

It was an unexpected revelation that the Water Lie Beast possessed a Self-Healing Body.

The young man leapt to his feet before Shen Long, touched his head, then grinned. "Master, I have advanced to the fifth rank."

"Well done, well done," Shen Long praised him repeatedly, then handed him a vestment robe to put on.

He had never imagined that the first to transform into human form would be the Water Lie Beast; he had thought it would be the Thunder Roc.

"Where’s your third eye?" Shen Long asked.

The blue spiritual pattern on the young man’s forehead suddenly opened to reveal a blue eyeball.

"From now on, you’ll be called Shen Lie," said Shen Long.

"Thank you for the name, master," Shen Lie thanked him.

Shen Long deactivated the formation, instructed the Hundred Eyes Cicada and Shen Lie to retreat back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, and left the place.

Back at the Golden Bee Pavilion, Shen Long entered the Practice Room, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived at the fourth floor.

He released Shen Lie and whistled.

A golden thunderbolt and a fierce wind blew past, and both the Thunder Roc and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon appeared.

"Master, is that the Water Lie Beast?"

The Thunder Roc asked in surprise.

"Correct, you use the Thunder Escape Technique and Wind Escape Technique, and Shen Lie, you use your Divine Skill of tearing space, to see if you can disrupt their instantaneous movement."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Lie responded in agreement.

The Thunder Roc’s body surged with lightning, and with a gentle flap of its wings, it turned into a golden thunderbolt and disappeared.

A blue light shone brilliantly from Shen Lie’s forehead, and his third eye flashed into view, shooting out a blue light that struck a certain spot in the void.

Space tore open, revealing a huge black hole, and the Thunder Roc tumbled out of it.

"Humph, you useless thing, let me give it a try."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon said, flapping its wings fiercely and vanishing in a gust of wind.

After a while, Shen Lie’s third eye once again shot out a blue light that struck the void more than four hundred miles away.

The void there tore open, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon fell out from within.

After several tests, Shen Long found that Shen Lie could disrupt instantaneous movement within a thousand miles.

In simple terms, Soul Transformation Cultivators wanting to move instantaneously near Shen Lie wouldn’t be able to do so within a thousand miles; their attempt would be directly disrupted by Shen Lie’s skill.

Shen Long was excited, with Shen Lie’s Divine Skill, other Soul Transformation Cultivators wouldn’t be able to use instantaneous movement to escape or approach him within a thousand miles.

Within Shen Lie’s range of spellcasting, cultivators of the same level could only use instantaneous movement if they were Shen Long; enemies would have their instantaneous movement limited and wouldn’t be able to flee.

"Not bad, not bad, this Divine Skill of yours is great."

Shen Long laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.

"It’s all thanks to Master’s nurturing; now I can be of help to Master."

Shen Lie spoke modestly.

"You both go back to cultivation! I hope you both can achieve Transformation soon."

Shen Long said, instructing them.

"Yes, Master."

The Thunder Roc and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon agreed and returned to their cultivation.

Shen Long and Shen Lie arrived above an island that spanned a thousand miles; at the southeastern corner of the island’s beach stood a cyan stone stele over a hundred feet tall, emblazoned with the golden letters "Grinning Island."

This was the residence of Shen Lie, where he had lived before achieving Transformation.

Shen Long had used the Spirit-Enhancing Pearl and was in a weakened state for a month, planning to spend it here.

He entered a secret chamber, sat down cross-legged, and took out the "Green Lotus Travelogue" to read.

Shen Lie went to the practice room to consolidate his cultivation.

······

In the Qianyang Realm, within the Donghua Cultivation Realm.

A vast estate where Yuan Rui, Su Changfeng, and Ice Silkworm True Person were sitting in a cyan stone pavilion, discussing something.

Su Changfeng had already advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage, while Ice Silkworm True Person had failed twice at reaching this stage.

"We waited outside Fire Sun Valley for more than a month and didn’t encounter Fairy Chu. Sudden bursts of Absolute Spirit Qi erupted within Fire Sun Valley, forcing us to leave first."

Yuan Rui spoke with a furrowed brow.

He had slain a foreign race cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, obtaining four Thunder Attribute fifth-tier Demon Cores and ten strains of five-thousand-year-old Thunder Attribute Spiritual Medicine, greatly increasing the chances for his Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle to advance to the fifth stage.

"We can only ask the Sun Moon Palace to monitor Fairy Chu’s Life-Bound Lamp and report back to us immediately if there is any anomaly."

Su Changfeng said.

Fairy Chu had been through trials and tribulations with Shen Long multiple times; it was also she who provided the ascension location for Shen Long to ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

Yuan Rui nodded and said, "I’ve already sent someone to handle it. Now that you have entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, our Spirit Control Sect has two Soul Transformation Cultivators. I too can cultivate in peace and strive for the middle stage of the Divinity Transformation Stage."

After chatting casually for a while, Yuan Rui and Ice Silkworm True Person departed, and Su Changfeng entered the practice room to cultivate.
