Chapter 344: Chapter 324 Erasing the Consciousness of the Spirit!_1

In the wreckage of the shattered warship.

Pang Jian stood among a host of Ice Tribe members mounted on flying spiritual birds, watching as the ferocious Ice Tribe warriors slaughtered the fleeing members of the Clan of Bright Moon toward the Mysterious Fog, like cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

Two warriors from the Ice Tribe, as sharp as ice spears and cold blades, stopped one on either side of Pang Jian, acting as guards by his side.

A chill began to burgeon in Zhao Yuanqi’s heart as she said, "Have you ever thought..."

Before she could finish, Dong Tianze, Qi Qingsong, and Zhou Qingchen had already flown out of the gourd with surprise and delight, turning into brilliant lights shooting toward the wreckage.

The silver-haired girl was stunned.

In that moment, she realized clearly that the three who left without a moment’s hesitation trusted Pang Jian completely.

"Are you worried he has been tainted by an alien god from the outer realm?"

Zhuang Yuyan, looking tired, was warming her twin swords in the scabbard of her sleeve as she said with a light smile, "But if Pang Jian hadn’t appeared, not only could we not have escaped the pursuit of the Clan of Bright Moon, we also wouldn’t stand a chance against the Ice Tribe."

"He, even if tainted by the alien tribes, has just saved our lives."

Zhuang Yuyan also rose on her sword.

The genius from the Demon Sect, still on the gourd, was in strong shock as he warily watched the people of the Ice Tribe.

He and Zhao Yuanqi, not having as close a relationship with Pang Jian and consequently not having established sufficient trust, coupled with the respectful attitude of the Ice Tribe towards Pang Jian, also had some suspicions.

"That’s right, at least we are alive."

With her doubts dispelled, Zhao Yuanqi quickly followed after them.

At the broken ships of the Clan of Bright Moon.

"Wait a moment!"

Ice Surplus, the Fifth Elder, as Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan arrived, lifted her hand and conjured a wall as thick as a great wall of ice, saying, "He is at a small altar that the Clan of Bright Moon has built for praying to God, delving into the secrets of the god spirit of the Clan of Bright Moon. Please wait a moment."

As Qi Qingsong looked, he saw a stunning brilliance flashing within the broken cabin.

It was as if a moon was bursting with light, its power being intercepted.

"Alright, we’ll wait."

Zhuang Yuyan smiled lightly, displaying humility and straightforwardness as she said, "As long as Pang Jian is fine."

"Pang Jian..."

Ice Surplus savored the name, speaking earnestly, "He is our Ice Tribe’s most honored guest; the fate of our Ice Tribe is now inexorably linked with him. Rest assured, our Ice Tribe would never do anything foolish!"

"Most honored..."

Zhao Yuanqi, who was trailing behind, observed the cautious Ice Tribe members and felt the extent of the importance they placed on Pang Jian, which was of the highest level.

The Ice Tribe, with two Level Sevens and more than a dozen Level Six warriors, possessed formidable strength in this part of the world restricted by the Heavenly Dao.

Pang Jian, who could command the Ice Tribe within the Forbidden Land of Thunder God, Flame Forbidden Area, and even the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, wouldn’t he be able to do as he wished?

Fu Wangchen from the Desolated Terrains, Jiang Chao from Sky Water Swamp, Wu Yuan from the Demon Sect, who could contend with such a Pang Jian?

And the alien tribes from the other three Fragment Lands probably couldn’t either!

...

Inside the torn warship cabin, Pang Jian looked at a Crescent Moon Altar that had split into two and, touching a slightly chilly crystal with his hand, asked, "This is the Altar of Praying to God of the Clan of Bright Moon?"

Ice Halberd nodded: "Hmm, there have been members of the Clan of Bright Moon who infiltrated our world, and they worship the Moon Goddess. The Clan of Bright Moon’s Altar of Praying to God should be able to communicate with the so-called Moon Goddess."

Ice Cloud said casually, "Luckily, it’s shattered."

These two warriors from the Ice Tribe, instructed by the Fifth Elder Ice Surplus to protect Pang Jian throughout the entire process, volunteered to answer any questions and clear any doubts for Pang Jian concerning matters related to the Clan of Bright Moon.

"The majority of the alien tribes have similar altars for praying to God, used to communicate with the god spirits they worship..."

Pang Jian nodded slightly.

While Ice Surplus and the other mighty warriors of the Ice Tribe slayed generals of the Clan of Bright Moon across the area, he touched the crescent-shaped altar and secretly engaged the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell."

"Inhale!"

Streams of pure and flawless Moon Energy flowed out of the shattered Crescent Moon Altar into his Spiritual Sea.

But the full moon that had been slowly enlarging didn’t completely disappear.

"Whoosh!"

A crescent moon, along with the gathering of pure Moon Energy, stealthily appeared in midair above Pang Jian’s Spiritual Sea.

It unexpectedly formed a second moon!

One round, one crescent, two moons of different shapes were both shimmering above Pang Jian’s Spiritual Sea at that moment.

And then,

Suddenly a boundless Divine Sense, like an endless ocean, started to emerge from the crescent moon forming within Pang Jian’s Spiritual Sea.

"Different Kinds!"

There was a clear and resolute God’s Thought coming from both the shattered Altar of Praying to God in Pang Jian’s grasp and the crescent moon inside Pang Jian simultaneously.

A beautiful and ethereal figure also started to reveal itself within the crystals under Pang Jian’s palm.

It was a goddess accustomed to being high above all.

On her clear and broad forehead, there were various mysterious marks of the moon—full, crescent, waning, and so on.

She was stunningly beautiful, with shimmering silver divine clothing adorned with floating moons.

She was napping on a crescent moon when she suddenly sensed that one of the corresponding altars had been shattered and that someone dared to extract the power she had granted within the altar.

She immediately cast her gaze here and saw many people from the Clan of Bright Moon being slaughtered by the Ice Tribe at the command of Pang Jian.

"You dare to attack my subjects!"

Sitting up upright on the divine crescent moon, gazing through infinite space and time at Pang Jian, her eye shapes subtly changed.

A full moon and a waning moon became the pupils of her left and right eyes, radiating a divine brilliance as if they could penetrate through eternity.

She used this to accurately lock onto Pang Jian’s position across the void!

Sensing something ominous, Pang Jian saw the two moons expanding rapidly above his Spiritual Sea, as if about to burst open under the forceful invasion of the Moon Goddess’s Divine Power.

For some reason, Pang Jian just knew that if the two moons, laboriously refined, were to burst, his soul would be riddled with holes!

"The only thing that can contend against the incursion of the foreign divine consciousness is my own divine sense!"

Three thousand divine senses moved from the Sea of Consciousness above the dantian, transforming into three thousand golden waterfalls hanging in the sky, shrouding the two moons—one full and one crescent.

"Exterminate the consciousness!"

With this thought.

The three thousand divine senses changed with his will, becoming golden swords of light, thunder and lightning, long blades, beginning to strangle all of the Alien Power of the Moon Goddess that he could sense!

"You hope to use the Altar of Praying to God to descend your divine consciousness upon me and strike me down?"

"You alien gods from the Outer Realm, whose true bodies cannot arrive here—what can mere divine consciousness do?"

Pang Jian’s chilly consciousness resounded from every golden sword of light, each streak of golden lightning, and every sharp blade.

He was clear that he felt it—the thoughts and wills of another higher being eroding and being extinguished by his own divine sense.

Before long, the alien god attempting to descend had not a trace of will remaining.

The Altar of Praying to God, already shattered, dissipated its inner essence of the moon completely and with a "bang," turned into dust and crystal powder.

Within Pang Jian’s Spiritual Sea, there were wisps and threads of strange, spiritless points of light.

These points were the pure divinity with consciousness wiped clean.

"Phew!"

The golden divine senses, having expended their energy, wrapped the points of light, merging and refining the deity essence, quickly replenishing several slightly thinned golden divine senses.

Pang Jian also had a sudden insight.

The so-called divine consciousness of the alien gods was actually composed of divinity and consciousness, with divinity being pure soul power, and consciousness being thoughts and will.

After erasing the will within, the remaining divinity was pure soul power.

And the divinity could be absorbed by him.

His previous divine senses, after refining the divinity of the alien god, had transcended into his own golden divine senses.

Li Yuanchen, who had died, and Fu Wangchen from the Desolated Terrains, also condensed the divine consciousness of alien gods by first eliminating the consciousness within, then refining the pure divinity.

Qi Qingsong, Zhou Qingchen, and others should also be able to use this method.

"Qi Qingsong!"

Pang Jian called out softly.

"What’s up?"

Qi Qingsong, who was kept outside, shouted back.

"Come over for a moment."

"Okay!"

Qi Qingsong, allowed entry, soon arrived at the site of the now powdered Altar of Praying to God. Seeing the Ice Halberd and Ice Cloud still guarding nearby, he asked, "What’s the situation?"

"Feel a strand of divinity."

A golden divine sense belonging to Pang Jian, carrying the Moon Goddess’s divinity that shimmered like moonlight, entered into Qi Qingsong’s Sea of Consciousness.

Inherently frightened, Qi Qingsong, upon the entrance of this golden divine sense and recalling that it was Pang Jian, didn’t guard fully and allowed the golden thread to enter.

In the empty Sea of Consciousness, Qi Qingsong’s more than a hundred divine senses were all pale blue.

The divine senses converged, taking the shape of a sword.

Upon closer inspection by Pang Jian, it was clearly the form of the Blue Dream Sword.

"This strand, devoid of the alien god’s consciousness—is it possible for you to refine it?"

Leaving behind a twinkling light, Pang Jian withdrew from Qi Qingsong’s Sea of Consciousness.

Qi Qingsong’s expression shook, and he quickly sat down on the spot, using the soul skill and secret technique he possessed to refine this pure divinity without consciousness.

Throughout, Pang Jian paid close attention to his expression, secretly protecting him.

After approximately a quarter of an hour.

Qi Qingsong’s eyebrows spread with joy, and his laughter grew louder, "Haha! I’ve gained a strand of divine sense, a strand with divinity! Pang Jian, you were right!"

"Divine sense with divinity can break through our inherent cultivation laws, not being restricted by the limit of quantity!"

"Cough cough!"

He shamelessly asked, "Is there more?"

"There’s a little bit left."

"Give it to me quickly!"

Qi Qingsong’s voice suddenly dropped, and with a crafty look, he said, "Pang Jian, with our relationship, you would prioritize me with good things, right? Zhou Qingchen has only reached the early stages of the Hollow Profound Realm and lacks sufficient magical power. I’m afraid he doesn’t have the ability to refine these divinities."

"Hmm."

Another golden divine sense entered and exited Qi Qingsong’s Sea of Consciousness.

In his Sea of Consciousness, six more pure points of divinity then appeared.

At this moment.

The Second Elder Ice Surplus, who had killed all the remaining members of the Clan of Bright Moon outside the Mysterious Fog, returned with the Ice Tribe people in high spirits, with some of rank five achieving breakthroughs in their bloodline.

"Ice Surplus, the Extreme Cold Power is compatible with certain alien powers, such as Moon Energy and Thunder and Lightning. Once we integrate these foreign powers into the depths of our bloodline, we have the possibility of making breakthroughs," Ice Surplus excitedly declared before raising his voice, "Honored guest!"

"His name is Pang Jian," Ice Surplus said.

"Oh, Lord Pang Jian."

Ice Surplus nodded in understanding and then called out again, "Lord Pang Jian, everything is taken care of, we can now enter the Forbidden Land of Thunder God."

"Good."
