Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 892: Changes at the Divine Transfiguration Stage

“Finally, I’ve advanced to the Divine Transfiguration Stage.” Lu Yang let out a long breath.

The leap from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transfiguration Stage brought a world of change. One’s status and strength became vastly different from before.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators halted their journey before the lightning tribulation, unable to advance further.

In the eyes of the higher-ups, Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators were talents who had yet to mature. Only by surviving myriad sufferings to reach the Divine Transfiguration Stage could one be considered a full-fledged genius.

Upon reaching this stage, major factions would begin instructing disciples in managing the sect, navigating between other factions, and establishing diplomatic relations...

Wait, why does it feel like I’ve already begun managing the sect back at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Although my status remains unchanged, my strength has grown tangibly.

At the Basic Divine Transfiguration Stage, my combat prowess rivals that of Basic Fusion cultivators, leapfrogging the Void Refinement Stage!

Challenging across levels and skipping two major realms—what a terrifying concept!

For example, Senior Brother Dai Bufan is at the Basic Fusion Stage...oh, he has broken through; I can’t beat him.

For example, Senior Brother Ji Hongwen is at the Basic Fusion Stage... I can’t seem to beat him either.

At the Basic Divine Transfiguration Stage, my combat prowess rivals that of Basic Fusion cultivators outside the sect, provided they don’t employ the power of rules!

In a first-class sect, I’d even qualify as an elder.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu Yang.”

As the tribulation clouds around Heaven’s Gate Peak dispersed, the other disciples rushed over to offer their congratulations.

Lu Yang had undergone two lightning tribulations in succession, a unique feat in the cultivation world’s three hundred thousand years of history, an achievement worthy of being recorded in historical annals. His reputation certainly surpassed even the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, who was once famous in the early Great Yu era.

“Junior Brother Lu Yang, the first lightning tribulation you faced was unprecedented. Have you thought of a name for it?”

When a cultivator encountered an unknown lightning tribulation, they had absolute priority in naming it.

Just like the first person who called their physique the “Single’s Spirit Root,” though the naming sense was questionable, it became the official designation, with names like “Pure Yang Spirit Root” being mere aliases or common names.

Without a second thought, Lu Yang blurted out the name that the Heaven Mandate Immortal had given to the divine lightning long ago. “Of course, it shall be called the Supreme...”

Inside the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy tugged at Lu Yang’s sleeve and tilted her head upward, her limpid eyes fixed upon him. “Xiao Yangzi, can we call it the Unbeatable Divine Lightning? Pretty please?”

When had the Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked at him in this manner? His heart softened instantly, and he gave in to her wish.

“Of course, it shall be called the Unbeatable Divine Lightning.”

The crowd of disciples exchanged odd glances. Junior Brother Lu’s naming sense is truly...something.

“Junior Brother Lu’s naming sense is truly unique.”

“No wonder he could achieve what he has today; his thinking truly differs from that of normal people.”

“Yay! It's called the Unbeatable Divine Lightning!” Mission accomplished, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy let go of Lu Yang's sleeve and punched her small fists in the air, hopping about to celebrate.

Lu Yang finally realized the folly he had just committed, clutching his head in agony. Why did I lose my mind and listen to the Immortal Fairy's nonsense just now?

“Xuanyuan Sword Master, you're not bad. I shall soon catch up to you.” Gu Junye’s gaze burned intensely, not looking at Lu Yang but at his past life—the Sword Dao paragon who lived for the sword and achieved the pinnacle in swords.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu Yang.” Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran offered their congratulations.

Their cultivation progress lagged only slightly behind Lu Yang's and would soon face their tribulations. Seeing Lu Yang successfully undergo the tribulation and his heroic demeanor, they felt emboldened, eager to face their tribulations and match his stride.

Now, the way Lu Yang looked at Li Haoran had completely changed.

Damn, the reincarnation of the Epoch Immortal! I defeated Li Haoran at the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage. This is roughly equivalent to defeating the Epoch Immortal. What a monumental feat!

At this thought, Lu Yang's grin stretched from ear to ear.

After seeing off the other disciples wishing him well, Lu Yang finally looked inward to assess the gains from this breakthrough.

The most obvious change was his mental space; it had expanded tenfold.

Previously, the mental space could let the Everlasting Immortal Fairy build one Grand Brilliance Hall, but now, it could accommodate ten. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy could begin constructing the Great Dou Dynasty’s imperial palace here, adding places such as the Imperial Study, the Mental Cultivation Hall, and the Purple Heaven Palace.

However, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy currently had no such plans; vast expanses of the mental space remained empty, devoid of structures.

Next was the primordial soul that had evolved from the nascent soul. If the primordial soul left the body, it would be as tall as Lu Yang, capable of prolonged, distant separation for reconnaissance, surveillance, or missions—essentially a clone.

Other Divine Transfiguration cultivators’ primordial souls couldn't achieve such cloning effects. Only Lu Yang, whose Unbeatable Nascent Soul had repeatedly hit him, was able to do so after it evolved into a primordial soul.

Like the nascent soul, the primordial soul obeyed Lu Yang's commands. He didn't have to keep enduring beatings and could choose to defeat it only at the Advanced Divine Transfiguration Stage.

Lu Yang scrutinized his primordial soul carefully, then his heart skipped a beat.

“Wait, I remember the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was ninety percent similar to me. Why does it resemble me less now?!”

Logically, the primordial soul should look identical to the cultivator. The Unbeatable Nascent Soul had been ninety percent similar to him, but now, it was only around eighty percent similar.

Reclining in the mental space, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy yawned, finding Lu Yang's question silly. “Isn't that perfectly normal? Back when I borrowed your body in the imperial city, I helped you cultivate.”

Lu Yang pressed a hand to his forehead. That's right, why had I forgotten that?

“Immortal Fairy, how about you don't help me cultivate anymore?”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was very considerate of Lu Yang. “That won't do. I'm occupying your body for my own use, so how could I let you fall behind in your cultivation?”

Immortal Fairy, can you direct your goodwill somewhere more appropriate?

Lu Yang continued examining himself. He realized his will seemed capable of influencing external spirit qi.

“Is this what texts describe as ‘Divine Transfiguration cultivators can preliminarily commune with heaven and earth and manipulate spirit qi?’”

Fusion cultivators’ ability to employ rules evolved from the Divine Transfiguration Stage’s foundation of communing with heaven and earth.

When two Divine Transfiguration cultivators battled, they competed not only in combat power but also in their degree of communion with heaven and earth.

Additionally, his dantian had transformed into a spirit energy pool to store vast amounts of spirit energy. He no longer needed to consume pills or absorb ambient spirit qi mid-battle like he did during the Nascent Soul Stage.

“What a fragrant scent.” Lu Yang's nostrils flared, catching a familiar aroma.

“Come, Little Junior Brother, try some freshly ripened Immortal peaches.” Yun Zhi carried a basket of immortal peaches and placed it before Lu Yang.

Immortal peaches also had the function of stabilizing one's cultivation realm, perfect for consumption right after a breakthrough.

“Big Senior Sister, you've found that World Natural Spiritual Root?” Lu Yang was surprised. He thought he wouldn't get to eat a second immortal peach in this lifetime.

Yun Zhi shook her head. “No, I didn't find it. I planted the pit of the immortal peach from last time, and it just ripened.” 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This time, it was the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s turn to be puzzled. “Ah? That works? Why do I remember that the pits from the World Natural Spiritual Root yield normal peaches?”

“I naturally have my methods,” Yun Zhi said calmly.

“Really?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy remained skeptical.

“Senior Immortal Fairy.”

“What is it?”

“Say more, and there'll be no peaches for you.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy immediately took over Lu Yang’s body. “Xiao Yangzi, leave some for me.”
