The eight star spheres came together and quickly started to revolve as they fused together steadily. The three streaks of power of the stars that had just beamed down also surfaced as if trying to aid in the fusion process.
After two hours, the eight star spheres all disappeared. In Jiang Yi’s dantian, a huge star sphere had surfaced. That star sphere was around three times bigger than any ordinary star sphere. It also contained a huge amount of energy. Jiang Yi also realized a problem at this moment—the energy inside this giant star sphere was actually gold in color!
“Heavenly powers?”
Jiang Yi checked it out as he grew excited. Previously, the Xuan Thearch had given him a drop of the heavenly powers. The golden energy inside the giant star sphere now was exactly like it; this meant that he had truly congealed his divine core.
“The ninth star sphere did not fuse inside this giant star sphere…”
Jiang Yi could feel that his ninth star sphere was slowly revolving around the divine core; it felt as if it was in disharmony and very uncomfortable. If the ninth star sphere could fuse together with the rest, that would be more in sync. Now that one additional star sphere was around and could actually absorb the powers of the astral winds, it was rather peculiar.
“That mysterious elder had said that no one had cultivated the Nameless Divine Art before; could there be a problem with this cultivation technique so the ninth star sphere could not fuse properly?”
Jiang Yi thought for a while and brought forth a sliver of energy from his divine core. He realized that he could deploy it easily and relaxed. After those golden heavenly powers entered his bloodstream, it also had a rather soothing effect. Jiang Yi felt that with the heavenly powers, he could easily kill an eight-star formidable martial artist with one punch.
“What incredible energy; what powerful heavenly powers!”
Jiang Yi channeled the heavenly powers throughout his body and realized that the heavenly powers contained some mystical energy. It was starting to reform his body. The feeling was extremely comfortable, just like drinking hot tea in winter; his entire body was warm and pleasant. Towards the end, Jiang Yi did not even need to channel the heavenly powers anymore; they automatically coursed through his body and helped him improve his body, transforming his body into a divine body.
Round after round… it took ten days and ten nights! The heavenly powers finally then made their way back into Jiang Yi’s divine core. Jiang Yi also woke up from that mysterious state he had been in. He looked internally and was astonished. The heavenly powers in his divine core were actually not that plentiful; transforming his body had used up most of it.
Plip! Plop!
He opened his eyes as he moved his body casually. He realized that all his bones were popping, and every movement he made could cause turbulence in the spatial zone. A wave of energy was present within every muscle and every bone. He had a feeling that his fist was strong enough now to destroy the Mystic Divine Palace with one strike.
“Divine body, this is a divine body, right?”
Jiang Yi looked at his slightly glowing skin as he was both shocked and excited. Although so much heavenly powers had been used, it had been worth it. This body could probably even stand a barrage of attacks from a nine-star formidable martial artist, right?
Without the heavenly powers, he could not have congealed his divine body. Without the divine core, he could not have had heavenly powers. Without realizing an ultimate dao pattern, there was no way he could have congealed a divine core. Hence, compared to a divine soul, the divine core and divine body seemed to be rarer.
Of course… it was difficult to evolve one’s soul spirit into a divine soul. Jiang Yi had refined God-knows-how-much soul-spirit-nourishing spirit herbs, but his soul spirit still had not evolved. He had already gathered all the spirit herbs in the Stellarsky Domain.
“Let me try to cultivate heavenly powers!”
Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something as he activated his Nameless Divine Art to see if he could cultivate heavenly powers. There was so little of it left in his divine core; he did not really dare to use any more of it. If he used all of it, he would not be able to survive in the Higher Domain like that.
“I can cultivate.”
After one hour—however, Jiang Yi opened his eyes as he looked helpless. It was too difficult to cultivate heavenly powers. It was similar to when he had first started to cultivate the black essence forces. He had used up a full hour and had only managed to cultivate a few wisps of the heavenly powers.
As long as he could cultivate heavenly powers, that meant he truly possessed a divine core. The ninth star sphere not fusing with the divine core had not interfered with the divine core or his battle strength. Jiang Yi decided not to think so much. He would wait for the mysterious elder to wake up before asking him about this.
After scanning his body for half a day and trying to cultivate a few more times, Jiang Yi confirmed that everything was good. He continued to activate his Nameless Divine Art to cultivate heavenly powers while also persevering in realizing the Void Disturbance dao pattern. Besides this, he also sped up the refinement of the soul spirit nourishment spirit herbs.
A month later, Jiang Yi successfully realized the Void Disturbance dao pattern. He was, however, disappointed that this dao pattern was indeed of little use. It could only cause a disturbance in the spatial zone and support one in battle; it did not have any other use.
Two months later, the small Fire Dragon Sword in his soul spirit consciousness shone bright with golden light; his soul spirit had finally evolved. The mysterious elder had also not lied to him. After his soul spirit became a divine soul, new Xiaozhuan characters appeared in his mind; those were the formulation of the fourth level of the Nameless Divine Art.
The fourth level formulation was actually not that hard to fathom; it was also not that useful. It could only allow Jiang Yi to double his cultivation of the Nameless Divine Art and double the speed that his heavenly powers emerged.
Tsk! Tsk!
When Jiang Yi had just congealed his divine soul, a strange phenomenon happened again as above the Nine Heavens, the winds and clouds shifted as twelve streaks of the power of the stars shot downwards and entered Jiang Yi’s body. These twelve streaks also did not enter his divine core but swam within his body and soul spirit, continuing to transform his body.
“Uh…”
Jiang Yi’s soul spirit suddenly shook vigorously. He did not even bother about the twelve beams of power of the stars. An image had suddenly appeared in his brain: above the pitch-black void in that image, a golden crack had appeared. That crack was filled with a sacred aura. It was as if a door to an Immortal Domain had been opened. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit had the feeling that he could pass through that golden crack anytime he wanted to, leaving the Stellarsky Domain and ascending to the Higher Domain.
“True God! I have finally broken through to the True God Realm!”
Jiang Yi opened his eyes as he stood up, his eyes glistening with gold light and with both eyes having unlimited depth. It seemed as if two worlds were hiding inside his eyes. He stood in the side hall quietly, without releasing any aura. However, he gave off the aura of that of a god.
“I have to ascend within a month. If not, that golden door will vanish…”
Jiang Yi murmured to himself. Transcending meant that he was going to be separated from everyone, his beloved women, his brothers, Jiang Yunhai, and others. Perhaps… this might also be goodbye forever.
“Xiaonu had not come out of seclusion? Forget it, I shall not disturb her for now. Let’s wait until a few days before I transcend.” Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Xiaonu, and seeing that she had closed off all her senses, she must be deep in seclusion. He did not dare to disturb her as he teleported outside.
He kept the Mystic Divine Palace as, within the Undying Tribe, Long Yang brought a group of men and swiftly dashed out. Taking one look at Jiang Yi, Long Yang and company were shocked to the core as they hurriedly knelt down and shouted, “Congratulations on becoming a True God, Young Lord.”
“Oh? You can see the difference?” Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
“We cannot.”
Long Yang’s huge head shook as he looked fearfully at Jiang Yi and said, “However, I can sense that Young Lord can kill us with one look now. Besides a True God, no one else possesses such power.”
“With one look? Hahahaha, that is rather exaggerating. However, now that I have broken through to the True God Realm, it is indeed easy to kill normal martial artists now.” Jiang Yi laughed out a few times as he bent a knee and leaped, flying towards the Saint Emperor City at a frightening speed.
After congealing his divine body, the gravity here now had no effect on him whatsoever. His body had heavenly powers, and his speed had reached a frightening level. Within a single breath, he had become a black dot and disappeared in the sky. He only left a few words, “Long Yang, take good care of the Death God Continent; wait for me… to return!”
