Ch. 2009The Fifth Void Refinement Cultivator (Sorry, everyone. Something came up; I'll resume when I can.)
Ling Pengyun strengthened Ling Pengxing’s Ghost Treasures and returned to the Lineage, where Ling Yunhong prepared to attempt Void Refinement. Ling Yunhong survived the breakthrough with a top-tier foundation, bringing the Lineage’s number of Void Refinement cultivators to five.
- Ling Pengyun infused the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword and Ghost Immortal Lamp with Void Refinement Qi, strengthening both treasures, and urged Ling Pengxing to let the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan consolidate its new lands.
- Ling Pengxing returned to the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm, while Ling Pengyun went back to the Clear Mist Realm and learned that the realm-wide conflict remained a war of attrition with few casualties.
- After half a year of preparation, Ling Yunhong entered seclusion with the Void Refinement Spiritual Items gathered by the Lineage and began his breakthrough.
- Ling Yunhong endured the Heart Demon Tribulation, condensed a Void Refinement Primordial Spirit, and used his Bishui Pill Furnace and water-based divine ability to temper his foundation during the lightning tribulation.
- Ling Yunhong survived the tribulation, achieved a top-tier foundation, and reached Void Refinement First Layer; Ling Pengyun celebrated that the Lineage now had five Void Refinement cultivators.
