Chapter 524 - 531: Late-stage Soul Emergence, Great Bodily Transformation

Vast amounts of Immortal Qi poured into her every pore and meridian.

However, since she had absorbed Immortal Qi before, her body didn’t react too strongly.

Aided by the disc in her Dantian, the Immortal Qi took root in her body with surprising ease.

The man at her side watched, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.

’Song Wanning hasn’t even ascended, yet she can absorb Immortal Qi right away?’

’What’s going on?’

He had thought Song Wanning would have to struggle quite a bit to accept the Immortal Qi. Now, it seemed his eye for talent was simply impeccable.

’With her help, my chances of finding my descendant will be much higher.’

While the man was marveling at this, Song Wanning’s expression turned incredibly solemn.

She wanted to guide the Immortal Qi into her inner world.

The Unlucky Ghost was currently cultivating inside her inner world. She hadn’t checked on him in a while, and he was already a Foundation Establishment Stage Ghost Cultivator, cultivating at an astonishing speed.

Sensing his master’s intention, he immediately stopped cultivating and stood cautiously to the side.

To this day, he was the only "partner" who could enter her inner world.

After all, he was the only one who had died, while the other partners were alive and well, so he had also indirectly taken on the duty of managing the inner world.

Soon, under Song Wanning’s deliberate guidance, the Immortal Qi actually passed through her Dantian and entered the inner world, bit by bit.

The majestic power made the Unlucky Ghost hide to the side in fear, afraid that his bad luck would reappear and get him involved.

...

Time slowly passed, and Song Wanning, in the Immortal Washing Pool, finally began to show signs of discomfort.

Every bone in her body was crushed into dust.

Her flesh and skin tore open, only to heal again at the speed of light.

Over and over again.

And her bones inside her were also mending, again and again. Each time they repaired, they became more lustrous.

This was the process of reforging her physical body!

Song Wanning endured the intense pain and sped up her absorption of the Immortal Qi.

But this painful feeling penetrated deep into her Divine Soul. Every minute, every second was torture.

She constantly encouraged herself.

’None of this compares to the pain of my past life. As long as I persevere, I will surely greet a new world!’

Relying on this belief, Song Wanning’s body was shattered and reassembled countless times.

She was still not satisfied, but she had no idea that the man on the bank was already staring in sheer horror.

Because Song Wanning had actually stayed in the Immortal Washing Pool for a whole day!

When he himself had ascended, he had stayed in the Immortal Washing Pool for half a day and was lauded as a once-in-a-generation genius.

For Song Wanning to stay for a full day so easily was a testament to her immense talent.

The man suppressed the horror in his eyes. ’This girl’s limit must be one day. She’ll be out soon.’

However, the reality was far beyond his expectations. The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

A full seven days passed, and Song Wanning still hadn’t come out of the Immortal Washing Pool.

Despite the obvious, immense pain, she persisted in staying in the pool. Her willpower was frighteningly strong.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The man murmured to himself, so shocked he had become somewhat numb.

If those old monsters in the Immortal Realm knew of this young girl’s achievement, they would probably fight to the death to claim her.

...

RUMBLE—

A vast amount of Immortal Qi had now condensed within her inner world.

The Unlucky Ghost was hiding to the side, but was horrified to find that he had actually absorbed a wisp of Immortal Qi.

He was no longer the ignorant mortal he once was, so he naturally understood that it was impossible for a Ghost Cultivator to absorb Immortal Qi.

But... gazing at the wisp of Immortal Qi inside him, his brow knitted tightly, and his eyes filled with bewilderment.

The even greater change, however, was happening to the inner world itself.

The once-ordinary world was gradually separating into two layers.

One layer was filled with Spiritual Energy and Yin Qi, while the other was filled with Immortal Qi.

Strange flora began to sprout everywhere, creating a thriving, vibrant landscape.

Even the Unlucky Ghost could clearly sense that the inner world had changed.

But at this moment, Song Wanning’s attention was completely focused on the changes in herself.

A strange pattern had appeared on her bones, which had previously only held a wisp of the Power of thunder and lightning.

Her bones had turned a milky white and were now exuding a hazy Immortal Qi.

Her skin, already so delicate it seemed it could break with a touch, became even smoother. Her entire being seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, exuding an inviolable divinity.

She opened her eyes, their gaze cool. A wisp of Immortal Qi flashed through them. Unbeknownst to her, her aura had already transformed, and she had smoothly advanced to the late-stage Soul Emergence.

The Immortal Washing Pool no longer had any effect on her. She had no choice but to rise and leap out.

The man watched her with a blank expression, his heart somewhat numb.

’I’ve always known you can’t compare ordinary people to geniuses, but to be so completely overshadowed... it’s still depressing.’

’Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable. How true.’

’Seven whole days! She actually stayed in the Immortal Washing Pool for seven whole days!’

’No matter how many impurities she had, they must have all been cleansed by now, right?’

’This girl’s future... is simply unimaginable.’

"Young lady, I take back what I said before."

"If you really find my descendant, just let him follow you and be an attendant."

The man suddenly changed his tune, startling Song Wanning, who had just stepped ashore, so much that she almost slipped.

’Did I just mishear him?’

"Ahem. I was just joking."

The man coughed embarrassedly and changed the subject.

"Next, I will help you comprehend the Time Attribute. How much you can grasp will depend on your own destiny."

He said as much, but he could already picture himself being left in the dust by her once again.

’This girl’s aptitude is bound to be astonishing.’

"Understood. Thank you, Senior!"

Song Wanning gave a solemn bow. She had received so much help from her elders along the way; without them, she never could have advanced so smoothly.

Her heart filled with gratitude, she quickly followed the man.

Meanwhile, outside, Feng Jiuxiao had been waiting for days.

One moment, Song Wanning had been standing there in a daze; the next, she had vanished and still hadn’t returned.

But she wasn’t worried. ’That girl must have stumbled upon some great opportunity.’

At this moment, all the treasures and opportunities in the outside world couldn’t compare to the Array codex in her hands.

She was completely engrossed, studying and calculating, while also trying to find ways to put her knowledge into practice, as energized as if she were on steroids.

Her skill in Arrays was also rapidly improving, at a speed that even she found incredible.

"I really am a genius!"

Feng Jiuxiao’s lips curled into a smirk. She looked as smug as a proud peacock.

Then, thinking of Song Wanning’s suggestion, she stroked her chin. ’I really should look into that.’

The only problem was the sheer number of restriction types. Since Song Wanning couldn’t be sure which one needed to be broken, Feng Jiuxiao would just have to experiment with every single one.

’In any case, with this legacy to help me, I can save a lot of time. I’ll have plenty of time to think it over later.’

While she was deep in thought, a figure suddenly flashed in front of the tombstone. It was none other than Song Wanning, who had been missing for so long.
