Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 964: Divinity Transformation (200 Extra)

Lu Mingxin noticed Lu Wen Yuan's gaze, thinking he was inquiring, she quickly bowed and replied: "Uncle... After you left, I was often taken care of by the Tang Family's ancestor in the sect. Later, when I achieved the Golden Core, the Tang Family declined, but recalling past affections, I accepted Tang Shui'er as a registered disciple, supporting her Foundation Establishment. Now the Tang Family also depends on our Lu Family..."

In reality, Tang Shui'er's aptitude was average; without some great fortune, she would probably only reach Foundation Establishment in her lifetime.

"Nothing, you've done well."

Lu Wen Yuan waved his hand generously, also remembering that after he established his Foundation, the Tang Family indeed helped him a bit.

Now it was repaid by Lu Mingxin, cleanly settled.

"Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on forming your Nascent Soul."

At this moment, all the Core Formation ancestors congratulated him, all beaming with joy, even though they harbored worries buried in their hearts.

"Rest assured, I returned only because I miss my homeland, with no intention to seize anything..."

Lu Wen Yuan waved his hand: "I have no thoughts of overthrowing the main sect either, I just want a place to cultivate quietly..."

Those Golden Core ancestors, both delighted by his Nascent Soul achievement and fearing Lu Wen Yuan might seize power, even wage war with the No-Origin Sect.

Such sentiments were as clear as day to the experienced Lu Wen Yuan, and he directly gave his assurance.

"We wouldn't dare..."

The Golden Core practitioners showed no shame, rather cried out: "The sect should be led by Uncle's guidance, this is only right... Uncle, if you wish to retreat in spirit lands, we will immediately yield the best spirit veins!"

After much back-and-forth politeness and persuasion, they finally muddled through the matter.

...

Several months later.

Atop Jietian Peak, the tallest peak of Dan Ding Sect.

Lu Wen Yuan sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, quietly contemplating.

During this period he took a good rest, finally dispelling the exhaustion from being on the run.

And within the Dan Ding Sect, all was calm.

Except when an early-stage Nascent Soul practitioner from the No-Origin Sect came probing, only to be startled by his Great Cultivator's prowess, nothing major happened.

"Soon, I won't be at the late-stage Nascent Soul..."

Lu Wen Yuan suddenly chuckled to himself: "With the Divine Marrow I obtained from the Demon Country, combined with those heavenly spiritual objects, my chance of breaking through to Divinity Transformation is over fifty percent..."

The tumultuous times actually greatly enriched his 'experience,' and for Lu Wen Yuan who possessed the secret historical golden chapters, experience was equivalent to wealth!

"Divinity Transformation practitioners are already pinnacle in this realm, yet for tens of thousands of years, though legends of Divinity Transformation practitioners existed, none successfully ascended..."

It's said that after Divinity Transformation, upon cultivating to Great Perfection Realm, the worldly rules of this realm would naturally repel them, allowing ascension to the Spirit Realm.

Alas... the world's vitality is too sparse, spiritual objects are scarce, all these thousands of years, every Divinity Transformation practitioner remained at early-stage, none breakthrough to mid-stage bottleneck, not to mention ascending. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

'Instead, those top Divinity Transformation practitioners of the human realm, unwilling to wither here, even collaborated with demons to construct an 'Ascension Altar'... regrettably, in the end, failed spectacularly, destroyed in conflicts...'

Recalling the Divinity Transformation battle experienced, even now Lu Wen Yuan felt lingering fear.

'The Ascension Altar, allowing an early-stage Divinity Transformation practitioner to break the realm and ascend, required several rare spiritual objects, some unique to this world... after its destruction, no more resources to construct another altar remained in the human realm, except for me!'

After all, back then, amid the chaos, he managed to touch a corner of the Ascension Altar!

Just wait till reaching the Divinity Transformation stage, his Divine Power should be sufficient to summon the Ascension Altar anew!

And that altar, after one use would be discarded, no other issues to consider.

"Cultivating for so many years, finally touching the threshold of ascension!"

Lu Wen Yuan felt thrilled.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.

During these years, Lu Wen Yuan entirely set aside power advancement, after all, he reached the Nascent Soul Peak, without breaking through the major realm, daily meditation was pointless.

Thus, he spent this excess time resolving past grudges and cultivating future generations.

Yet, his entanglements mostly lay in other countries, even on different continents, nothing much within Liang Country.

Even those two previously opposing families of the Lu Family were easily eradicated by Golden Core achiever Lu Mingxin.

Lu Wen Yuan nurtured Lu Family disciples, bestowed several treasures, advised them, even disguised as a mortal for ten years to experience ordinary life.

In such tranquility, his mind seemed to also grow increasingly serene and clear.

Finally, on an ordinary day at sunset, Lu Wen Yuan returned to his cave dwelling, activated all restrictions and arrays, began his breakthrough.

This closed retreat lasted a full thirty years!

Thirty years later, on a certain day.

Lu Mingxin was meditating, abruptly her face changed dramatically.

All spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemingly received some command, surged towards a certain gathering point.

Rumbling thunder shook the earth, even the spirit vein of the Dan Ding Sect seemed momentarily drained of all spiritual power.

This was an unbelievable occurrence in the eyes of cultivators.

Whoosh-whoosh!

Several escape lights sought to rise high and observe, but their brilliance wavered, landing on the ground, revealing several Core Formation ancestors in disarray.

"There, it's where the Lu Ancestor is at Jietian Peak!"

A Golden Core practitioner looked towards where the spiritual energy descended, shocked yet feeling this was expected.

"Such momentum... far surpassing a Nascent Soul breakthrough, could it be... advancing to Divinity Transformation?"

An experienced Golden Core elder voiced his guess, immediately, silence descended all around.

Whistling wind!

The celestial phenomena in the sky grew increasingly intense, clouds of red, green, gold, white, and black colors appeared, transforming into five massive cloud clusters.

Rumble!

A terrifying divine sense burst skyward, transforming into a golden giant's phantom, reaching out both hands, grasping the five-colored auspicious clouds.

The auspicious clouds struggled for a moment, as if blocked by an invisible membrane, then amidst a muffled thunder, integrally melded with the golden giant phantom.

The golden giant's form became extraordinarily solid, its face faintly bearing Lu Wen Yuan's likeness...

"Is this breakthrough so smooth?"

Lu Mingxin was overjoyed.

"Two major hurdles exist for Divinity Transformation breakthrough, smoothly overcoming the mana aspect by integrating heaven and earth's vitality, next, it's the Heart Demon test..."

A Core Formation elder appeared fearful: "I hope Lu Ancestor succeeds, otherwise, under cultivation deviation, the Dan Ding Sect would face ruin..."

...

At this moment, Lu Wen Yuan was long lost in boundless illusions.

His earlier estimation was flawed, even though he visualized Glazed Glass Buddha Beads, Demon-Expelling Sandalwood Incense, Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Jade, Calming Pill, and a series of treasures to protect the Divine Soul and eliminate Heart Demons, the Divinity Transformation heart demon trial exceeded his expectations.

In a mountain village, Lu Wen Yuan was born with a loud wail.

He completely forgot his identity and memories as a cultivator, turning into an ordinary infant, in the blink of an eye experiencing countless reincarnations...
