Chapter 619 - 348: Assaulting Divinity Transformation

Of course, this didn’t include the combat strength of women like Bai Qingyi, Su Qinglian, or Liu Ying Ziyi. It only referred to the Female Cultivators the Ling Family had nurtured themselves, such as Patriarch Ling Qiyue, Tang Qiu Yao, and Qin Yun.

"Husband, this is the inventory list of all the resources currently stored in the Immortal Palace."

The noble and graceful Immortal Venerable Doumu spoke, presenting a Jade Scroll that flowed with a silver luminescence in her slender hands.

Although countless Cultivators had swarmed into the Immortal Palace to seek their fortunes from the time it opened until it closed, Ling Changqing had seized control of its core hub first. As a result, the proportion of Cultivators who were fortunate enough to leave alive was not high.

Therefore, the vast majority of the treasures they plundered still ended up in Ling Changqing’s hands—and that even included the personal fortunes of those unfortunate cultivators.

The only ones who managed to escape unscathed were the Female Cultivators from the Xuannü Palace and the Ye Family. After all, they were already his people.

"Mm, we can leave these resources here. We only need to take a small portion back."

Ling Changqing quickly made his decision. ’The entire Immortal Palace is mine, so it’s safer to leave the resources here. There’s no need to waste effort moving everything back and forth.’

"Husband, what should we do now?"

Meng Feiyu, whose dress was the color of flame and whose beauty was bone-deep, looked at Ling Changqing with limpid, bright eyes. Her voice was soft, smooth, and seductive.

"We’re getting ready to go back to the family, of course!"

Ling Changqing said. Compared to his last trip to the Qingyao Continent, this journey hadn’t been particularly long, but he still missed Ling Qiyue and the other women who had stayed behind to guard the family.

Xue Qingtan shook her head elegantly. "Actually, I think that since your Cultivation has already reached the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Realm, why not enter seclusion and break through right here?"

"Yes, yes! We have all the resources we could possibly need here, and all of us sisters can’t wait!"

Mu Xinlan, dressed in a complex and gorgeous, bright-yellow palace gown, covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

The women gathered around him in silence, their beautiful, shimmering eyes fixed on Ling Changqing.

The jade-like faces of Shui Wan Zhao and Yu Qinghuang, in particular, were blushing as red as sunset clouds. They had not yet engaged in Dual Cultivation with Ling Changqing, so amidst their shyness, they were naturally filled with anticipation.

His expression faltered for a moment, but then he understood.

Thanks to the miraculous power of a Child of Destiny, a Dao Companion at the Divinity Transformation Realm could save at least five months of arduous closed-door cultivation just by engaging in Dual Cultivation with him once. For a Female Cultivator at the Void Refining Realm, it would save ten days.

As for Dao Companions at the Nascent Soul, Golden Core, or Foundation Establishment Level, the effects of Dual Cultivation with Ling Changqing were even more remarkable. The rapid increase in the Cultivation of the beauties in his harem was all thanks to him.

Once Ling Changqing himself stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm, the effects of Dual Cultivation with the women would surely become even more ideal.

If nothing else, Ling Qiyue and Tang Qiu Yao’s breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm would be just around the corner.

"Alright, then. Let’s do it!"

Ling Changqing wasn’t one for dramatics; he agreed after a moment of thought.

"Let’s go to the bedchambers. We can do our Cultivation there, too!"

Immortal Venerable Doumu’s jade-like face flushed a deep red. She too was quite expectant. ’I wonder what changes an intimate relationship with the Child of Destiny will bring me,’ she mused.

...

Atop a ten-thousand-li snowy mountain range, within the main gates of the Chiying Demon Sect.

Inside a hazy Secret Hall where Spiritual Mist swirled, a grim-faced Lin Jianchuan leaned back on his throne, not saying a word.

Over twenty Core Elders were seated below, each staring at their own nose and contemplating their heart, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

The Chiying Demon Sect had suffered disastrous losses this time the Doumu Immortal Palace opened. Apart from Lin Jianchuan and a few of his trusted subordinates who managed to escape, tens of thousands of Disciples and a group of high-level Elders had not been spared. Even a few Supreme Elders had perished inside!

In short, these losses, combined with their previous losses at the Hongmeng Divine Hall, had gravely wounded the Chiying Demon Sect. They couldn’t even dream of recovering for at least five hundred years—and it might even take longer.

But would their rival powers simply stand by and watch the Chiying Demon Sect recover?

It would be a miracle if they didn’t try to cause trouble.

"...What’s the situation outside now?"

After a long silence, the Elder Sect Leader’s bone-chilling voice echoed in the hall.

Pu Hill, the Elder in charge of intelligence, pursed his lips and spoke:

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, on the Qingming Continent, powers like the Li Huo Divine Palace, the Vast Sea Immortal Alliance, the Yan Family, and the Yu Family... all of them suffered heavy losses. The same goes for those outside powers."

Lin Jianchuan’s expression softened slightly. If everyone had suffered the same fate, it seemed the feeling in his heart wasn’t quite so unbearable.

At the very least, the Sect wouldn’t have to face its old rivals kicking them while they were down. They could just lie low and lick their wounds in peace.

However, Pu Hill’s tone shifted.

"According to the secret reports from our moles in the Ye Family, the Xuannü Palace, and the Celestial Derivation Pavilion, the Cultivators from these three factions don’t seem to have suffered significant losses. Their Disciples have basically all returned safely."

"..."

Lin Jianchuan’s expression stiffened once more, his gaze turning savage. "What’s going on?"

"This... my subordinates are still investigating!"

Pu Hill replied in a low voice. He also found it strange. ’There are rumors that the Child of Destiny has had contact with the Female Cultivators of these two families,’ he thought, ’but who knows if that’s true or not. Of course, Lin Jianchuan has also met that Child of Destiny before, so that doesn’t really explain anything.’

...

「Doumu Immortal Palace.」

The fierce battle had come to an end. At this moment, Ling Changqing’s Divine Thought had sunk into his sea of consciousness.

The tall and stunningly beautiful figure of Gong Ling appeared. With a charming smile, she leaned in, straddling him and rubbing against him gently.

This time, she was again dressed in a short, tight, transparent cheongsam and black garter Stockings. Her voluptuous and fiery snow-white body, with its majestic, towering peaks and perfectly rounded, long, straight legs, was barely concealed at all.

"Now that my Divinity Transformation Realm is stable, your abilities must have recovered quite a bit, right?"

Ling Changqing pulled her into an embrace, helping himself to her snowy peaks before asking.

"Mhm, that’s right."

Gong Ling nodded. Her aura seemed to have grown much stronger, her majesty now contained within, and her beauty was truly overpowering.

For a Nascent Soul Cultivator to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, not only must their Cultivation reach the Nascent Soul Peak (Great Perfection) level, but they must also prepare Divinity Transformation Pills and other supplementary resources, Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques to protect their Divine Soul, and even a Grade Five Spirit Vein Blessed Land is essential.

There is no Thunder Tribulation when breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, but there is the far more treacherous and unpredictable Heart Demon tribulation. Of course, for Ling Changqing, who was blessed by great destiny, this was no trouble at all.

As for the necessary resources, women like Qin Mengxuan and Ziyunxi had long since prepared them for him—not only the best, but more than just a single set.

Therefore, his breakthrough process was smooth sailing, completely without incident.

In his sea of consciousness, a silent message suffused with a mysterious Dao Rhyme appeared:

After breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm and consummating his relationship with Shui Wan Zhao, Yu Qinghuang, and the others, Ling Changqing’s Luck and Fortune, as well as his Cultivation, had all increased by leaps and bounds. He was on a completely different level than when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Now that he had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, no matter what kind of Great Power they were, they could no longer use forceful means to plunder Ling Changqing’s Root Bone and Destiny. It was even more impossible for them to possess his body or imprison his Divine Soul. Their only choice was to befriend him.

Consequently, Ling Changqing’s personal safety had increased significantly. Even powers that harbored ill intentions toward him no longer dared to offend him openly, lest they offend Heaven itself and invite an unforeseeable disaster upon themselves.
