Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2359 - 820: The Might of Divinity Transformation
"It’s just that when you were rushing to the Divine Transformation, the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint unexpectedly appeared to attack you, intending to sabotage your Great Dao!"
"Fortunately, Senior Changchun intervened in time to stop it, cutting down its True Blood Dao Body and Demon Core, allowing you, Taoist Friend Zhou, to safely break through without disturbance!"
"And before leaving, Senior Changchun left a message, asking you to consolidate your realm and then accompany me to visit Changchun Valley!"
What?
Zhou Chun, who heard about this for the first time, also changed his expression, showing a look of shock.
When he was crossing the "Heart Demon Calamity", he truly knew nothing about the situation outside, so he really didn’t know that the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint had appeared and was actually slain by the venerable Changchun!
That was a mighty Sixth Rank Demon Saint!
"Senior Tai Geng, are you saying Senior Changchun came here to protect me and even slew the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint?"
He looked at Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation with a face full of shock and exclaimed, with a tone full of disbelief.
Even though these words were spoken by Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation, he couldn’t help but doubt a bit.
After all, only a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator like him knows how difficult it would be to slay a being like himself!
Moreover, he had just developed the boldness of "My fate is determined by me and not by Heaven," only to suddenly learn that a Sixth Rank Demon Saint, who attained the Dao thousands of years earlier, was slain. Isn’t this just a slap to the face!
Seeing his expression, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation slightly smiled and said, "I know you’re very shocked, but don’t rush, listen to what I have to say slowly!"
Then he proceeded to narrate the origins and past glorious achievements of the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword], and how the venerable Changchun caught the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint off guard, detailing everything step by step.
After listening to his narration and explanation, Zhou Chun, though still shocked, was finally able to accept it.
Because according to Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s statement, the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] is not an ordinary Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure; it was a treasure used by the High Realm Great Virtuoso, at least a Middle Grade Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure!
With such a powerful treasure, coupled with Changchun Venerable’s peak cultivation at the Divine Transformation Middle Stage, theoretically, it’s reasonable to slay the barely-Sixth Rank Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.
Yet even so, it shattered most of the boldness Zhou Chun felt after his successful Divine Transformation.
Although he has succeeded in the Divine Transformation, when it comes to treasures, excluding the not yet repaired [Purifying Heavenly Vessel], he doesn’t even have a single Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure!
After pondering internally for a moment, he sighed with a face full of emotion: "The great favor of Senior Changchun is truly etched in my heart. I am determined to repay this with all my might when the opportunity arises in the future!"
Listening to his emotional words, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation waved his hand and said, "Having this intention is enough; there’s no need for repayment."
After speaking, he explained the matter of the Acquired Spirit Root to Zhou Chun, watching his expression change as he did.
Yet Zhou Chun only slightly hesitated before revealing a look of understanding and nodded, "No wonder! I had always wondered about the kind of Spiritual Root that would interest someone as high as Senior Changchun. So, it turns out to be this unique, unparalleled Acquired Spirit Root in the world!"
Though his words contained surprise, there was no trace of regret.
This made Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation nod silently, feeling quite satisfied with his mindset.
He immediately said to him, "Although the Acquired Spirit Root is rare in this world, to be honest, it is difficult for either you or me to fully utilize its potential."
"Moreover, without Senior Changchun, you wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain that Acquired Spirit Root before reaching the Divine Transformation, nor would you have had the chance to obtain [Mystical Sound Dao Tea]!"
"Besides, Senior Changchun did not let you suffer any loss. Not only did he personally help you fend off the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint who obstructed your path, but he also presented you with this Demon Saint’s Essence Blood as a congratulatory gift, showing great sincerity!"
Hearing his explanation, Zhou Chun quickly said, "Rest assured, Senior Tai Geng, I have no dissatisfaction with Senior Changchun. For me, succeeding in the Divine Transformation is already immensely satisfying; nothing else matters!"
Upon hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation also breathed a sigh of relief, nodding with approval, "If you think this way, that couldn’t be better!"
After speaking, he handed over to Zhou Chun the blood pill left behind by the venerable Changchun.
Upon receiving the blood pill, Zhou Chun didn’t bother to examine it closely and put it away first. Then he looked at Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation and said, "Since Senior Changchun personally invited me, naturally I shouldn’t make him wait long. Let us follow Senior Tai Geng to pay him a visit!"
"Great!"
Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation nodded slightly, agreeing without hesitation.
Immediately, Zhou Chun conveyed a few instructions to Luo Qingni, Xinyuan, and others via a sound transmission, and then followed Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation towards Changchun Valley.
After Zhou Chun left, Zhou Zhiying also quickly commanded the family cultivators to reestablish formations around Kunwu Peak.
The [Three Elements Annihilation Formation] had been severely damaged, with no possibility of repair, so they could only set up a few formations casually to maintain appearances for now.
However, no one felt regret about this.
Because everyone knew that with a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator in residence, even without any protective formations, the Kunwu Mountain Range would surely become one of the safest places in this realm.
Not to mention, with the esteemed status of a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, as soon as the news spreads, Array Grandmasters would surely flock to offer their services, eager to set up a Mountain Protection Array!
Let alone anything else, just during the years Zhou Chun was consolidating his cultivation level, several Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators have already come to visit upon hearing about his successful Divine Transformation.
However, knowing Zhou Chun was consolidating his cultivation level, they dared not disturb him lightly and could only wait in nearby marketplaces first.
Such things had never happened before!
Meanwhile, after Zhou Chun and Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation left Yu Country, it didn’t take long before they arrived outside Changchun Valley.
Unlike before, this time, as soon as he arrived outside the valley, the array opened a portal, and the voice of the venerable Changchun reached their ears.
"I have prepared a pot of clear tea. Welcome, two Taoist friends, to visit, please come into the valley for a gathering."
Following the voice through the portal, they quickly reached beneath the [Immortal Pine].
After his Divine Transformation, Zhou Chun observing the [Immortal Pine] again immediately discerned some extraordinary features.
In his eyes, besides its exuberant vitality, the Acquired Spirit Root was rich with the aura of the Great Dao’s Laws.
Judging by the richness of the Great Dao’s Laws’ aura, even Changchun Venerable, under the tree at the Divine Transformation Middle Stage, seemed somewhat inferior.
As he was examining the [Immortal Pine], Changchun Venerable lifted a cup of tea and toasted him: "Taoist Friend Zhou, having succeeded in the Way of Divine Transformation, I have nothing to give as a gift, so I offer this cup of clear tea in celebration, wishing you an ever-green journey along the Great Dao and a swift ascent to the Immortal Realm!"
Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly returned the courtesy, "Senior Changchun, you’re too kind. I’ve heard from Senior Tai Geng that your [Longevity Immortal Tea] is this realm’s unique longevity treasure, and to be celebrated with it is my greatest honor!"
With that, he took the cup of spiritual tea adjusted with high-purity pine resin from the [Immortal Pine] and drank it all at once.
He had previously consumed pine resin from the [Immortal Pine], and theoretically, the life-extending effects shouldn’t apply much to him.
However, the [Longevity Immortal Tea] is an exception, as it contains a trace of the [Immortal Pine]’s original force, not restricted by the earlier pine resin’s longevity effects, allowing a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator to extend life by a century with just one cup!
Usually, only new Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators are offered a cup of [Longevity Immortal Tea] as a congratulatory gift during their first visit to the venerable Changchun.
