Chapter 488: Chapter 275: Qingyun True Monarch: Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul Is Actually Stronger Than Mine?

Based solely on the level of this array, the opportunity of the Great True Monarch mentioned by the True Monarch of Yin and Yang is half-true, at least it is something of the Great True Monarch level. But whether it is truly an opportunity or a hidden threat remains uncertain.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, this array should have some illusionary concealment techniques. The scene we are seeing is not its true form. What do you think we should do about it?" Qingyun True Monarch frowned and asked Qi Chuan.

He indeed aspired for the opportunity of the Great True Monarch.

But if the threat outweighed the opportunity, he would have to reconsider.

Moreover, this array is overly advanced—far beyond their current level—and they are fundamentally unable to break it.

The only apparent course is to temporarily leave and return later when they have a solution.

"Let’s not talk about this array for now. Let me first remove the peeping devices and talismans inside this cave." However, in face of Qingyun True Monarch’s inquiry, Qi Chuan did not immediate respond. Instead, he glanced at some places near the outside of the cave and said.

"Peeping devices and talismans? They’re here?" Qingyun True Monarch was shocked upon hearing this and began to scan around; he hadn’t noticed them at all.

Qi Chuan nodded, waved his hand, and cast several spells towards certain places near the outside of the cave.

The natural ancient array was deep within the cave, so there was no concern of it being affected.

Crack, crack.

The sound of several shattering noises rang out.

In those places, some shattered artifacts and talismans appeared.

"There really are?" Qingyun True Monarch was surprised by this scene.

He turned to Qi Chuan and asked, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, how did you discover them?"

Qi Chuan simply smiled, "Naturally... I found them through sweeping with my Divine Sense."

He had been practicing the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method for many years.

Before advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, his Divine Soul level had already reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Divine Soul level.

Later, due to his breakthrough in cultivation realm, the strength of his Divine Soul was further enhanced. Now, it exceeds even some in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

"Divine Sense?" Listening to Qi Chuan’s answer, Qingyun True Monarch gave a profound look at Qi Chuan.

He truly did not expect Qi Chuan’s Divine Sense to be stronger than his own.

He knew well that a strong Divine Sense essentially means a strong Divine Soul.

He had also practiced some basic Refining God Techniques and had some slight achievements.

At least his Divine Soul was stronger than an average Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

But he didn’t expect that Qi Chuan, who had just broken through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, would have a stronger Divine Soul.

This indicated that Qi Chuan must have been practicing some kind of Refining God Technique.

Moreover, the quality of this Refining God Technique was very good, and Qi Chuan himself must have achieved significant results, which is why he could accomplish that scene just now.

Even though he thought of these things, Qingyun True Monarch did not intend to ask Qi Chuan to teach him the Refining God Technique.

Because Refining God Techniques are different from normal cultivation methods.

Firstly, they require an extraordinary talent for spirit refinement and a high compatibility with the technique.

Secondly, the stronger the Refining God Technique, the more difficult and painful the cultivation process!

From his experience of practicing several basic Refining God Techniques over the years, he knew he had no talent for spirit refinement, and his compatibility with these techniques was extremely low.

Even basic Refining God Techniques were like that, let alone high-quality ones; he simply could not cultivate them.

Moreover, the terrifying pain of the cultivation process was enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.

He saw no need to endure such pain for techniques he could not cultivate.

"However, from this perspective, Junior Brother Qi Chuan is not only terrifyingly gifted but remarkably determined as well. He has just entered the Nascent Soul Middle Stage at this age and possesses such a strong Divine Soul. Who knows how much soul-crushing pain he endured while practicing the Refining God Technique?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Thinking this, Qingyun True Monarch cast a somewhat sympathetic glance at Qi Chuan.

"Senior Brother Qingyun, my Divine Sense is strong because I practiced a Refining God Technique. If you need it, I can actually share it with you." Qi Chuan, unaware of Qingyun True Monarch’s thoughts, remembered the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method and felt it wasn’t unreasonable to pass it on to him considering the years of mentorship he had received.

"No, I don’t need it. My aspiration does not lie in this, my main goal is still cultivation and reaching the Realm of the Great True Monarch in this life is enough. The Divine Soul is secondary."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch quickly waved his hand.

"Alright then." Seeing Qingyun True Monarch decline, Qi Chuan could only retract his intention to offer the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

In order to advance to the Realm of the Great True Monarch, the role of the Divine Soul isn’t very significant, and cultivating Refining God Techniques might actually divide his attention and hinder his cultivation progress.

Additionally, Qingyun True Monarch doesn’t have the Hundredfold Critical Strike ability and would find it difficult to endure the torturous spirit pain of the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method.

Putting aside thoughts of the Divine Soul, Qi Chuan scanned the area and cast a few more spells: "Senior Brother Qingyun, let me first find and destroy all these peeping devices and talismans."

"Alright, these peeping devices and talismans must have been set up by True Monarch of Yin and Yang and Cangjian True Monarch with ill intentions!" Qingyun True Monarch agreed.

Regardless of the motives behind Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang’s actions, removing these things was undoubtedly right.

...

Meanwhile, as the peeping devices and talismans within the cave were being destroyed one by one, in Beihua State, within a grand hall of Cangjian Pavilion, the atmosphere was incredibly silent.

In the hall, Cangjian True Monarch sat sternly on a large chair, deeply furrowed brows focused on the void above the Jade Table in front of him.

In the void a large light screen displayed the figure of True Monarch of Yin and Yang, projected by a high-tier artifact on the Jade Table.

Additionally, there were several scattered smaller light screens. The images within these light screens were not only small but unclear, flickering at times, making them uncomfortable to watch.

However, at this moment, Cangjian True Monarch’s gaze was firmly fixed on the images within these small light screens.

Especially as he watched them disappear one by one, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Soon, the final small light screen also vanished.

"There’s no need for us to probe any further," Cangjian True Monarch took a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of powerlessness: "Not only has Qi Chuan undoubtedly advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but his Divine Soul is also even stronger than both Qingyun True Monarch and us!"

"In the future, between our two sects and the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, we should keep a low profile..."

In the large light screen, upon hearing this, the True Monarch of Yin and Yang merely kept his face gloomy and did not speak, losing himself in a spell of silence.

"Alright."

After a lengthy silence, contrary to his usual character, True Monarch of Yin and Yang uttered only one word in agreement, without voicing any pointless speech.

At this point, he could only acknowledge that this Qi Chuan was indeed formidable.

In the future, he naturally wouldn’t confront the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect out of spite.

No kidding, the current Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was already not inferior to the alliance of the two sects, let alone in the future. One must remember that Qi Chuan, being a terrifyingly talented genius, would surely continue advancing in cultivation realm.

For the time being, the alliance of the two sects remains only to huddle together for warmth, to avoid being bullied by the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

Other than that, there really isn’t much to think about.

As for the natural ancient array within the Dawu Island cave, neither the True Monarch of Yin and Yang nor Cangjian True Monarch would do much about it.

For back then, upon the fortuitous discovery of the ancient array in the cave, they had employed all sorts of probing and exploration techniques.

Ultimately, they concluded that perhaps only a true Great True Monarch might have a slight chance of breaking it, but even whether that is possible remains uncertain.

Hence, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch have no chance of breaking it.

Moreover, whether the array holds an opportunity or something else is still uncertain?

If Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch opened the array and accidentally perished there, it might even turn out to be a fortunate outcome...
