Luo Xuan said meaningfully, "So what about now?"

The Star Lord turned around and left, throwing back a sentence: "I think you actually have no choice."

Luo Xuan smiled slightly: "Actually, I have quite a bit of research on the Divine Dao as well."

...

...

As the voice of Doumu Yuanjun lingered and fell, the torrent of divine nature pouring in became even more vast!

Ji Jingqiu’s aura also grew more radiant and grand, seemingly rising without limit.

In his heart, a Heart Lamp shone brightly, blazing like the midday sun.

However, this Heart Lamp was not his innate divine ability, but the very one he lit when he first entered Martial Arts!

In the Federation Martial Arts, one lights a Heart Lamp, and when it burns to its peak, spiritual nature sublimates to its most brilliant moment, and pure divinity is born from it.

This is what is called the Martial Arts God.

Ji Jingqiu had once secluded himself to witness the Heart God in order to elevate his Sword Skill realm further.

At this moment, the words of an old acquaintance once again echoed in his mind—

When the Heart Lamp is at its peak, one can see the Heart God.

In this very moment, Ji Jingqiu truly grasped the meaning of this phrase.

Inside the Heart Lamp, it seemed as if there was someone...

No, there was a god, sitting cross-legged for many years, finally waiting for this day, lifting its head to gaze at him, its eyes flowing with golden light.

It had a pair of intense golden eyes, symbolizing the purest divinity in the world, with every inch of its body flowing with golden light.

It slowly stood up, as if to replace another ’self’.

Its demeanor and majesty were solemn and sacred, as if a divine being had descended to earth, replacing the mortal body to accomplish the final sublimation.

But at the very moment it fully stood—

Crack.

A faint sound of shattering came from within the divine husk, clear enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

The body violently tilted, as if struck at its foundation by an invisible giant hammer, causing its dignified rising posture to collapse instantly, stumbling forward in a sorry state, and then kneeling on the ground!

Spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared, rapidly spreading from the feet upward, covering the entire divine body in an instant.

Deep within the cracks lay an empty... darkness.

It finally raised its head; the golden eyes, once flowing with pure divinity, gradually scattered, then dimmed.

Just like an ancient tree whose roots have long been hollowed out, despite its lush exterior, it was nothing but a castle in the sky, ready to collapse with a mere gentle wind.

Ji Jingqiu watched with a heavy heart as this dramatic transformation unfolded.

There was no anticipated exchange of gods, no perfect divinity.

Only a sudden collapse!

"When the Heart Lamp is at its peak, one can see the Heart God" still echoed, but his Heart God had already perished in the middle of the path.

The entire husk shattered like a broken Liu Li lamp, inch by inch in the brightest glow of his Heart Lamp, transforming into countless flowing golden fragments.

What... is this situation?

Before Ji Jingqiu could make sense of it, after the god perished, the torrent-like divine nature lost its "footing" and began to churn and whirl, surging toward Ji Jingqiu’s spirit.

Ji Jingqiu’s expression turned bitter; if he were to be contaminated or swallowed by this vast divinity, the foundation of his Martial Arts would certainly be fundamentally altered!

And this was precisely Doumu Yuanjun’s ultimate goal.

Within the Inner Universe.

The heavens and earth were restless; the anomaly triggered by the vast divinity was extra intense within the Inner Universe. Even though this change was sacred and majestic, its consequences were something Ji Jingqiu was unwilling to accept.

The Moon-cutting Sword Light urgently hummed, urging again and again:

"You two, quickly help him absorb this pure divinity!"

It was referring to Wuzhou and Hel.

Faced with such vast and pure divinity, only these two had some means at the moment.

Both of them had a divine foundation, entangled with the Divine Dao, especially Hel, who was founded upon the Divine Dao.

But Wuzhou ignored the Sword Light and instead gazed deeply at Hel’s back near the edge of Wuwang Mountain’s peak.

As expected, his real body had already perished; the current him was the remnant, the last "true self."

He could indeed help Ji Jingqiu "digest" parts of the divinity to fill his own void.

But at this moment, Wuzhou did not dare!

Sitting at the cliff’s edge, Hel slowly lifted her head, the fierce wind lifting her black hair, revealing eyes so deep they seemed to swallow all light.

...

Just as Ji Jingqiu was about to risk everything and charge forward, Hel’s calm voice sounded:

"Ji Jingqiu, do you still remember the Three Great Secret Treasures I passed on to you?"

At these words, inspiration struck Ji Jingqiu.

He no longer simply resisted this divine nature but sat down cross-legged again, a Divine Embryo within him suddenly opened its eyes, like a monarch expanding his territories, raising a hand in a beckoning motion, and the torrential pure divinity finally found a new foothold.

As the ancient divinity surged in, the long-dormant surface of the Divine Embryo shone with radiant light, ascending bright rays, transforming into a halo, dazzling and magnificent!

Within the halo, the Divine Embryo first landed, then ascended to the heavens, ascending, strange reactions evolving within the Divine Embryo, seemingly enacting the Heaven and Earth Creation, evolving many gods.

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath.

In the past, Hel had always encouraged him to use the Supreme True Buddha’s clone to refine and purify divine nature, to completely "hatch" the Divine Embryo.

Yet little Wuzhou countered that divinity was ominous; mid-way it seemed smooth sailing, with the Dao path clear, but in the end, there would always be signs of misfortune.

But today, it ultimately fulfilled Hel’s wishes.

"Why not take this opportunity to directly connect the Three Great Secret Treasures?" Hel’s voice rang again.

In the past, Ji Jingqiu had only unlocked the Physical Body Secret, and had partially opened the Spirit Secret Store, let alone the final third secret treasure.

Even what the third secret treasure was, Ji Jingqiu had never heard Hel mention until now.

"The third secret treasure, called a secret treasure, is actually ’Divine Fire,’ with the Divine Temple as the base, the Divine Embryo taking the lead, using the vast divinity as fuel to ignite the Divine Fire, thus becoming a God."
