Chapter 917: Chapter 2: Method of Divine Status Fusion (Second Update)

"I’ve heard you did something big in the past six months," Lian Qiao said.

Mu Qingge, however, detected the tension beneath her calm tone.

She lowered her gaze slightly and said to Lian Qiao, "What do you want to ask?"

Lian Qiao choked, pressed her lips tightly, and her eyes flickered with anger. Yet, she couldn’t really do anything to Mu Qingge! Having interacted with her a few times, she already knew that Mu Qingge was someone who responded to gentleness, not hardness.

After a while, Lian Qiao finally said, "How did you fare in the Divine Tomb?"

Speaking of the harvest from the Divine Tomb...

Mu Qingge suddenly recalled that the three divine essences she obtained were still being nurtured within her spiritual sense. Since it was not yet time to enter the Divine and Demonic Continent, she hadn’t given it much thought.

’After returning to Falling Star City, I should ask the High Priest whether these three divine essences can be merged,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

"The harvest was good," Mu Qingge nodded.

Her calm and indifferent demeanor made Lian Qiao anxious. She finally couldn’t help but ask, "Did you see anything related to an Alchemist’s divine essence in the Divine Tomb?"

Mu Qingge fell silent.

Lian Qiao, however, continued, "I know that Yao got nothing on his return. How about you? Did you happen to come across anything..."

Her gaze and tone carried a bit of expectation, along with tension and even fear.

She wanted to know the answer but was afraid of knowing it.

Mu Qingge gazed at her and finally shook her head slowly.

Her reaction made disappointment creep into Lian Qiao’s eyes.

Mu Qingge watched her eyes turn dull and lifeless as if she had lost her vitality.

Lian Qiao slowly shifted her gaze from Mu Qingge back to the water lilies. After a while, she said, "You can go, I’m tired."

The intention to dismiss was very clear, and Mu Qingge also did not insist on staying. She stood up, looked at her desolate back, and said softly, "Take care, no news is the best news."

With that, she turned and left.

"No news is the best news," Lian Qiao murmured the words Mu Qingge left behind, and her eyes seemed to regain a trace of sparkle.

When Mu Qingge walked out of Lian Qiao’s courtyard, she saw the dean of the Alchemy Institute.

Her eyes flickered, and she called out, "Senior Brother."

The dean nodded gently and turned to leave with her.

"Junior Sister ultimately couldn’t say it. Like me, since learning about Master, I come here every day to stand for a while, but I still can’t step in and explain everything to the ancestor," the dean sighed.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and didn’t say much.

If it were her character, she naturally wouldn’t hide it from Lian Qiao. However, Lian Qiao’s previous expression of feelings towards her and the Dan God’s last instructions made it impossible for her to explain everything to Lian Qiao at this time.

Since the time wasn’t ripe, she would wait a while longer.

Mu Qingge didn’t stay long at the Alchemy Institute. After bidding farewell to the dean, she went to see Mei Zizhong and others. After the war ended, the four of them naturally returned to the Alchemy Institute to study. And the divine essences Mu Qingge selected for them from the Divine Tomb were now nurtured in their spiritual senses.

The longer they were nurtured, the easier they would be to merge later.

Returning to Falling Star City, Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows at first glance. Since the Five Continents returned to peace, Falling Star City seemed even more lively than before.

However, she didn’t think much about it and went directly to find the High Priest.

...

"Young Master," the High Priest smiled at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge walked to the side and sat down, asking, "Are the Yizu soldiers comfortable in Falling Star City?" The Yizu people’s army had entered Falling Star City four months ago and immediately joined the battle. Now that the battle had ended, they stayed in Falling Star City, waiting for the day Mu Qingge would enter the Divine and Demonic Continent.

"Rest assured, Young Master, everyone is quite comfortable," the High Priest said.

Mu Qingge nodded.

At this moment, the High Priest said playfully to Mu Qingge, "Does Young Master feel any different this time back?"

Different?

Mu Qingge thought for a moment and nodded, "Hmm, there are a lot of people."

The High Priest laughed, "There are indeed a lot of people. Does the Young Master know why?"

"For what reason?" Mu Qingge asked blankly.

The High Priest smiled mysteriously, "That’s because Luoxing City has already become a Holy Land among the Five Continents, and these people have come for a pilgrimage."

"Pilgrimage?" Mu Qingge’s mouth twisted slightly, feeling rather helpless.

She wasn’t any Saint, didn’t need anyone to pilgrimage, and couldn’t fulfill their desires.

"Ever since the Young Master destroyed the Divine Hall, you have become their new faith," the High Priest explained with a smile.

Mu Qingge waved her hand, "I came to find you, not for these things. I want to know if you know the method to integrate different Divine Statuses?"

"Integrate Divine Statuses?" The High Priest’s face suddenly became serious.

He was silent for a moment, then lifted his eyes and nodded at Mu Qingge, "Generally speaking, a person can only integrate one Divine Status. However, as a person of Tianlu, you do know a Secret Method that can integrate two Divine Statuses into one, enhancing the quality of the Divine Status."

"I want to integrate three," Mu Qingge corrected him.

"Three!" The High Priest was shocked.

The harvest from Mu Qingge’s trip to the Divine Tomb, no one had ever known. Until now, he only knew that Mu Qingge had actually brought back three Divine Statuses from the Divine Tomb.

The High Priest calmed his emotions and said to Mu Qingge, "Since you returned without any regretful expression, I assume you obtained the Chaos Divine Status. As for the other two Divine Statuses..."

"One is the Ancestor’s Divine Status of the Sang Clan, the other is the Dan God Divine Status which inherits my Alchemy Technique," Mu Qingge clarified.

"I see." The High Priest suddenly understood.

Mu Qingge asked, "You mentioned a Secret Method that can integrate Divine Statuses to enhance their quality. Can it be done with three Divine Statuses?"

"In principle, it is possible. However, no one has ever tried," the High Priest said.

Mu Qingge tapped her fingers lightly on the table and said to him, "Tell me in detail."

The High Priest nodded, organized his thoughts, and then conveyed to Mu Qingge: "This method of integrating Divine Statuses was co-created by my senior brother and me. The purpose at the time was to help some members of the Mu Clan who lacked talent or had defective Divine Statuses, to repair their Divine Statuses and change their talents."

"Deficient Divine Statuses?" Mu Qingge looked at him puzzled.

The High Priest explained, "Yes, some are born with certain congenital deficiencies, so are their Divine Statuses. In the Divine Land, those born with Divine Statuses are destined for extraordinariness, while those without Divine Statuses can only be common folk or slaves. There’s also a type which has a Divine Status, but it’s flawed. Therefore, my senior brother and I wondered if we could use some complete Divine Statuses to repair the original ones."

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, frowning, and listened seriously to the High Priest’s narration.

The High Priest continued, "Of course, this magic is not used frequently. Changing a Divine Status is equivalent to changing destiny. Thus, unless there is no other choice, my senior brother and I would not use this Forbidden Technique. In the Divine Land, occasional trades of Divine Statuses occur. We once bought a Divine Status and integrated it with a member of the Mu Clan. Although there were risks, it was ultimately successful. However, we only integrated two Divine Statuses, for three, I’m not confident."

"Even without confidence, let’s try it." Mu Qingge stood up and said to the High Priest, "What do I need to do to integrate the Divine Statuses?"

The High Priest saw that she was determined and gritted his teeth before saying, "You don’t have to do much else, just nurture them with Spiritual Sense so that the three Divine Statuses have aligned aura. When the third Heavenly Tribulation falls and the Heavenly Gate gazes, you must cast the Divine Statuses into the Heavenly Gate, integration happens at this moment. Then, you just focus on dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation, leave everything else to me."

"Alright, then prepare everything you need and instruct whatever is required. I’m going back to Linchuan, and I estimate that shortly after I return, the third Heavenly Tribulation will come," Mu Qingge said to him.

"So soon!" The High Priest was surprised.

Mu Qingge nodded, saying seriously, "It’s already not fast." After saying this, she left the High Priest’s room.

The High Priest stood there stunned, his eyes filled with shock. It’s known that those old monsters at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage spent decades, centuries even, to undergo the third Heavenly Tribulation, and some consumed several centuries more. But their Young Master? In just half a year, she had already experienced two Heavenly Tribulations, and was expected to take a breather and wait two or three years for the third tribulation. Unexpectedly...

The High Priest took a deep breath and sighed, "The Young Master is truly extraordinary!"

...

Linchuan, Qin Country, Mu Mansion.

Upon returning home, the shadows of the Dragon Tooth Guards were nowhere to be seen in secret within the Mu Mansion, both Gu Ya and Gu Ye had been sent back to the Demon Realm by Mu Qingge.

The Divine Hall is destroyed, she no longer needs them to protect her closely, the Dragon Tooth Guards have all returned to Luoxing City.

During the year of guarding, they strictly followed Mu Qingge’s orders, without disturbing the Mu Family, allowing them to enjoy peace and happiness within the Mu Mansion.

This time, when she returned, it was to bid farewell, intending not to disturb others, other countries, or other forces.

After reuniting with her family, she intended to continue her path, and the next return, who knows when it would be.

Mu Qingge appeared suddenly in the mansion, without disturbing anyone, her Spiritual Sense covering the entire Mu Mansion, easily hearing laughter coming from somewhere.

Such harmonious laughter dyed her brow with a hint of warmth. Her lips involuntarily lifted in a slight smile. She lightly flicked her robe and walked towards the direction the laughter was coming from.

’If grandfather and aunt want to visit the Middle Ancient Realm, now is a good time.’ At least, now she can ensure her family’s safety in the Middle Ancient Realm.

"Qingge!" Mu Qingge’s sudden appearance made Sang Lanruo, who had just turned around, cry out in surprise.

Mu Qingge focused her gaze and noticed that in grandfather’s courtyard, it was full of people. Besides her parents, grandfather, and younger brother, there was also her aunt’s family of three, and even Fatty Shao was among them.

Mu Qingge blinked and asked, "What’s the occasion today?" Amazingly, everyone was so present.

"Big sis! You actually came back, did you remember today is Okra Day?" Fatty Shao beat Mu Yichen to speak first.
