Chapter 1743: Chapter 1073: Failed Breakthrough (2)

Although He Song could still sense the contract within Qing Lingzi’s soul at present.

But what if this was also something Qing Lingzi deliberately left for himself to see?

In that case.

If He Song went there in person, the consequences might be unpredictable.

Although Qing Lingzi had just broken through to the Deity Transforming stage, definitely no match for the current He Song.

He Song still had to worry about the possibility of an unexpected disaster.

In conclusion.

When He Song, controlling the puppet, arrived outside the Nine Abysses Ruins Array where Qing Lingzi was in seclusive cultivation, he entered the array without hesitation.

And soon he saw Qing Lingzi within the array.

However, unexpectedly for He Song.

The current Qing Lingzi had not successfully broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Judging from various traces around her.

The previous disturbances within the Nine Abysses Ruins Array were probably caused by Qing Lingzi’s failure to break through to the Deity Transforming stage.

At this moment.

Qing Lingzi’s clothes were tattered, and she was sitting quietly on a futon, healing her injuries.

Beside her, there was a huge explosion mark centered on Qing Lingzi, spreading outward continuously.

Fortunately.

The Nine Abysses Ruins Array was after all a strong array comparable to the Divinity Transformation Array.

Therefore, the commotion here did not spread to the outside world.

However.

Not seeing the scene he had previously speculated made He Song sigh slightly in his heart.

He thought Qing Lingzi had successfully broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Unexpectedly, she failed.

However, Qing Lingzi’s failure to break through to the Deity Transforming stage was something He Song had anticipated.

Deity Transforming stage.

It’s not something that can be achieved simply by following procedures.

It is a chasm that has blocked the path of countless Nascent Soul cultivators.

It is a thorny road that has made countless geniuses feel despair.

Similarly, it’s also where countless strong Nascent Soul cultivators are buried in great terror!

Qing Lingzi’s failure was entirely within He Song’s expectations.

Even He Song himself.

When he tried to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, he speculated how many failures it would take before he could successfully break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Unexpectedly, his Heart Demon Tribulation vanished like a bubble.

This made He Song seemingly effortlessly succeed in breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

However, was He Song’s easiness truly easy?

He Song’s Heart Demon Tribulation was like a bubble because he had never encountered any major setbacks on his cultivation path, always cultivating quietly in a corner.

But what about other cultivators?

Other cultivators would not be like He Song, quietly cultivating in a corner all along.

They need various resources, which inevitably leads to conflicts, fighting, scheming with others, and even facing oppression and hardships from various Sects and aristocratic families.

At the same time, they also need to travel the world to seek opportunities.

But when traveling the world, who can truly have a clear conscience?

When witnessing the powerful bullying the weak but unable to help.

When witnessing those strong powerhouses treating countless cultivators and mortal lives as expendable, being dragged into conflict.

Which cultivator’s heart wouldn’t be filled with towering rage against oppressors and endless sadness when unable to resist stronger foes?

These things.

Undoubtedly, will pierce into the cultivator’s heart like nails.

And during their attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul, become their Heart Demon Tribulation.

Likewise, will nourish their Heart Demons during their attempts to break through to the Deity Transforming stage, making the Heart Demons extraordinarily strong.

Therefore, when He Song saw Qing Lingzi’s first attempt to break through to the Deity Transforming stage end in failure.

His heart didn’t experience too much turmoil.

However, after all, Qing Lingzi had already traversed more than half the path to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Though she hadn’t truly condensed her Primordial Spirit.

Her divine sense and Yuanying had gained a touch of mysticism from her previous breakthrough attempt.

Because of this, Qing Lingzi’s overall strength had increased significantly at this moment.

Reaching the Half-step Divinity Transformation stage previously attained by the Leng Family patriarch.

And a cultivator at the Half-step Divinity Transformation stage.

Would naturally have a terrifying sensitivity to the outside world.

When He Song’s puppet first entered the Nine Abysses Ruins Array, Qing Lingzi had already reacted.

And upon sensing He Song’s aura from the puppet, she immediately stopped healing and quickly came forward.

"Your subordinate deserves death."

"Despite having the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique and the insights imparted by you, master, still failed to break through."

"Thus, wasting the Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill given by you, master, is truly a crime."

"I hope the master bestows punishment."

At this moment, Qing Lingzi had already knelt before He Song.

As she opened her mouth to plead guilty, her face was full of shame.

Although she was mentally prepared beforehand, when she truly failed in her first attempt to break through to the Deity Transforming stage.

She gained much more understanding of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In her view at this moment.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator to truly break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm is extremely difficult.

Even with the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique and the breakthrough insights from a Deity Transforming cultivator, her path to breakthrough still seemed extremely thorny.

By her estimation, she would need at least two more attempts, or even more, to truly break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But, would He Song give her so many chances?

It’s important to realize.

Before giving her the token, He Song had mentioned another choice.

The other option was, one Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, a set of breakthrough insights, plus three Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills.

But at that time, she didn’t choose this option.

Instead, she directly chose the token.

Yet, after choosing the token, He Song indeed treated her better.

The Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill is not something easily obtainable.

Especially since He Song later accepted Wang Youzi in the same manner.

Thus.

The original three Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills, how would He Song distribute them?

She and Wang Youzi both started attempting breakthroughs to the Deity Transforming stage simultaneously.

Which means.

Those three Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills, two have already been used.

It’s likely that He Song now only has one Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill left to distribute.

If Wang Youzi successfully breaks through to the Deity Transforming stage, then fine.

The remaining Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill would certainly be given to her by He Song.

But if Wang Youzi also fails to break through and pleads for the elixir from He Song?

At that time.

Whom would He Song choose to give the Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill to?

Moreover.

Even if Qing Lingzi indeed gets a second Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill.

Can she guarantee that she will successfully break through on her second attempt to the Deity Transforming stage?

All of this is uncertain.

And this uncertainty is why Qing Lingzi chose to directly open up and plead guilty to He Song.

However, He Song was unaware of Qing Lingzi’s thoughts.

But after listening to Qing Lingzi’s words, and thinking a bit, He Song realized something.

Over the years, he never talked about the Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills with Qing Lingzi and Wang Youzi.

He had also only ever taken out three Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills in their presence.

This way, Qing Lingzi probably sought the last Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill from He Song’s hands.

But, Qing Lingzi did not know.

The number of Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pills in He Song’s hands far exceeded her imagination.

Therefore, in the face of Qing Lingzi’s plea for guilt.

He Song merely shook his head slightly.

"Heal your injuries properly."

"Once fully healed, I shall bring you the second Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill."

"Do not concern yourself with matters regarding the Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill."

"Such things as the Mysterious Yellow Divine Protection Pill are actually not that valuable here with me."

"At least, to support both of you in stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm, there are enough."

He Song did not want to pressure Qing Lingzi too much.

Nor did he want his followers to carry the burden of pressure when trying to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

That would be completely against He Song’s own interests.
