Chapter 637 - 363: Northern Desert
Above the East Sea, on a certain unnamed desolate island.
A massive Celestial Demon corpse is lying quietly on the beach.
Lu Xing stands beside the corpse, continuously using his blood - already scarred by cuts - to paint and daub on the body of the Primordial Celestial Demon, seemingly performing some sort of array.
The Celestial Demon’s greatest strength is occupying another’s body, even among its kin, and after transferring, it gains much stronger power.
However, the transfer isn’t something easy; necessary preparations beforehand are indispensable.
"Once the Primordial Celestial Demon reappears, the Celestial Dao will certainly unleash a thunder penalty. If I can withstand it, this mortal realm will be under my rule, with no interference from Immortals. This time, let’s see who can still protect the mortal world."
...
Having left Lanhai Dragon City, Qin Yuesheng also found a solitary island, preparing to refine the Golden Flower he fought to obtain into his body, to avoid unforeseen troubles.
This Golden Flower feels cool to the touch, like an exquisite crystal. Though it appears dim and lightless, upon touching it, one can easily sense the immense power it holds.
This small, unassuming Golden Flower is equivalent to a Grandmaster’s century of arduous cultivation.
"Before Jiang Taicang died, he once told me that once I reached a certain realm, the Time Divine Wheel could be used as my own Saint Wheel. Undoubtedly, this can greatly save me substantial cultivation time. This way, my path to the Saint Wheel Realm only lacks severing the corpse of good and evil and transforming the flowers of good and evil." Qin Yuesheng looked at the Golden Flower in his hand and laughed, "Throughout history, under the skies, it’s unlikely anyone can compete with me in terms of cultivation progress."
He grips the Golden Flower tightly, continuously infusing it with Inner Strength, soon seeing it visibly merge, subsequently turning into a puddle of golden droplets in Yuesheng’s palm.
Engulfing it in one gulp, a golden light instantly bursts from Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, as his facial skin starts to turn into a golden shell, as if plated with gold.
At this moment, Qin Yuesheng feels as if a furnace is vigorously burning within him; his blood and flesh boiling, and a mysterious sense of delight arises from deep within his mind.
Three Flowers at the Top, opening the path of cultivation.
The island underfoot begins to vibrate violently.
Three Flowers at the Top, stirring the forces of heaven and earth; using Qin Yuesheng as the focal point, the earth quakes, and the sea surges.
Qin Yuesheng opens his mouth and sings loudly, unaware of why he does so, his body acting on instinct.
His vision suddenly expands; he feels lightened, soaring high instantly. The sea seems increasingly vast in his eyes, and the sky broader.
Only then does he realize remarkably that his soul has exited his body, ascending to the heavens.
The soul’s perception is immensely powerful; Qin Yuesheng seems to enter a brand-new state.
As he rises higher, golden petals appear around his soul, slowly enveloping Qin Yuesheng’s soul, forming a brilliant Golden Flower.
With the Golden Flower formed, it no longer dances but swiftly descends, abruptly returning to Qin Yuesheng’s mind.
Qin Yuesheng’s vision gradually clears, regaining control of his body.
If someone were present, they’d see a fist-sized golden flower floating above Qin Yuesheng’s head.
The Golden Flower slowly rotates atop Qin Yuesheng’s head, with an extraordinary visual allure.
Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, having broken through two realms in a single day, this was indeed incredibly lucky.
To speak of it to others, the Grandmasters would probably shed tears of jealousy.
With the Golden Flower ready, Qin Yuesheng reaches for the waist-slung storage bag, the Time Divine Wheel quietly appearing in his hands.
"Can this thing be used in advance now?" Qin Yuesheng pondered.
The Time Divine Wheel is undoubtedly the most mysterious among the various tools Qin Yuesheng possesses.
Its formidable power can take one across the river of time, reversing the flow - if used recklessly, Qin Yuesheng could be unchallenged on earth.
Even the mightiest beings have their weakest phases; if Qin Yuesheng travels back using the Time Divine Wheel to kill such beings in their youth, they’d cease to exist in the future, unable to become his adversary.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Time Divine Wheel’s capabilities.
As soon as the Time Divine Wheel appeared in hand, Qin Yuesheng felt the Golden Flower atop his head tremble slightly, as if an unseen magnetic force connected it with the Time Divine Wheel.
Qin Yuesheng immediately raised the Time Divine Wheel above his head, trying to bring it closer to his flower.
Sure enough, this action proved effective; the Golden Flower dove directly into the Time Divine Wheel, merging into one.
But before Qin Yuesheng’s excitement could last long, his head suffered an invisible impact, and the Golden Flower swiftly retreated from the Time Divine Wheel.
"Ugh!" Even as a Grandmaster, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t withstand such dizziness, crouching and beginning to vomit.
This dizziness bursts from the soul’s depths and is unrelated to perception; Qin Yuesheng simply can’t endure it, taking quite a while to restore his face’s color.
