Qin Hao Exposed; Nado Appears

Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit stood tall, reaching toward the heavens, his entire body wreathed in seven-colored light. He rippled with power that felt like Heavenly Might, giving the impression of a legendary deity or Immortal.

The entirety of the Huofen Kingdom could now behold Qin Hao's massive Primordial Spirit.

It was not that his Primordial Spirit was truly large enough for everyone to see, but rather that, under the influence of certain laws, it was naturally projected for all to witness.

"It really is Spirit Transformation!"

"We pay our respects to the senior!"

Song Ming, Yang Sen, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the War God Temple were the first to kowtow toward Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit.

"We pay our respects to the senior!"

The other cultivators of the War God Temple followed suit, bowing in worship.

"Is that Senior Brother Qin?"

The moment Wang Lin saw the face of the Primordial Spirit, he recognized the man's identity.

I never expected him to reach Spirit Transformation so quickly, while I am still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Wang Lin thought to himself, I must cultivate even harder and strive to reach Core Formation as soon as possible!

Luohe Gate.

"He... is he Junior Brother Qin Hao? Is he the one who reached Spirit Transformation?"

Li Muwan stared blankly at Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit, her face filled with disbelief. "But I don't recall any Hengyue Sect in the Huofen Kingdom. How could he appear here?"

Qin Hao had previously posted a photo in the Chat Group.

Although the Qin Hao in that photo was merely a sixteen-year-old youth, Li Muwan could still recognize that it was likely the same person.

Unable to help herself, Li Muwan opened the Chat Group to inquire.

[Li Muwan @ Qin Hao: "Junior Brother Qin, are you the one undergoing Spirit Transformation?"]

[Yao Xixue: "??? It's only been a few years, and you've already reached Spirit Transformation?"]

[Mei Ji: "A Spirit Transformation cultivator under thirty—this is simply defying the heavens!"]

[Emperor Sword Shuang'er: "Such talent is even more terrifying than my Uncle Emperor Lord!"]

[Yao Xixue @ Li Muwan: "Wait, you were just asking about artistic conceptions, and now you're asking about Qin Hao. Could it be that the person undergoing Spirit Transformation in your Huofen Kingdom is that Shameless Little Thief, Qin Hao? Is he also a cultivator from your Vermilion Bird Star?"]

[Li Muwan: "Oh no, I meant to send a private message. How did I post this to the group?"]

[Li Muwan @ Yao Xixue: "Sister Xue, Junior Brother Qin didn't mean it back then, and... and didn't you see him already?"]

[Yao Xixue @ Li Muwan: "Little Sister Wan'er is protecting this Shameless Little Thief so fiercely—could it be that you've fallen for him? Don't worry, I won't kill him!"]

[Qin Hao: "Come then. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"]

[Yao Xixue: "Fine, fine, fine. Shameless Little Thief, you just wait for this Young Lady. I'm coming to the Vermilion Bird Star to find you right now!"]

[Emperor Sword Shuang'er: "Why are none of you in the Demon Spirit Land? I'm so bored!"]

Luohe Gate.

"Oh no!"

Li Muwan stuck out her little tongue, looking as if she were about to cry. "I think I've caused trouble."

She immediately sent a private message to Qin Hao.

[Li Muwan: "Little Brother Qin Hao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"]

[Qin Hao: "It's fine, I'm not afraid of her!"]

Blood Star.

"Shameless Little Thief, you've been exposed. Just watch how this Young Lady tortures you!"

Yao Xixue stepped out of her bedchamber and directly piloted her Star Compass, flying away from the Blood Star.

"Where is Xue'er going?"

Sensing his daughter's aura receding, the Blood Ancestor opened his eyes and commanded, "Blood Guards, arrange for a few Blood Slaves to follow Xue'er in secret!"

"As you command, Master!"

Before long, four streaks of flowing light rose from the Blood Star and vanished into the horizon.

The aura emanating from each of these four individuals was that of a Peak Profound Ascension cultivator.

Huofen Kingdom.

War God Temple.

Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit looked down upon the earth, and with a casual grasp into the void, he tore the space apart, causing Space Rifts to appear.

Back when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, Qin Hao would likely have needed to strike a single point repeatedly to barely tear through the void.

As Qin Hao ascended to the Spirit Transformation stage, the black hole above the Huofen Kingdom began to slowly dissipate.

Taking advantage of the moment before the black hole vanished completely, Qin Hao reached out and grabbed, causing ten spheres of light to suddenly appear in his hand.

These ten spheres consisted of three large ones and seven small ones.

"Go!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Qin Hao sent the three large spheres of light sinking into the bodies of Zhou Zihong, Wang Lin, and Li Muwan.

The remaining seven small spheres of light fell into the bodies of the seven cultivators with the best aptitude from the War God Temple and Luohe Gate.

"These are Spiritual Seeds condensed from the spiritual energy of Beyond Heaven. They will pave a smooth path for your cultivation until you ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

After Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit cast out the Spiritual Seeds, it rapidly shrank and merged back into his body.

Qin Hao opened his eyes and rose to his feet.

"Congratulations to the Senior on successfully reaching the Spirit Transformation stage!"

Feng Luan bowed to Qin Hao, a glimmer of brilliance flickering in her beautiful eyes.

A figure like Qin Hao was the ideal Dao Companion in her mind.

The aura he had just exuded, which felt like that of a god, had stirred her heart and left her unable to contain her emotions.

However, Feng Luan also knew that such a brilliant and talented individual was too ethereal and distant for her.

If she were still a maiden, she might have been able to strive for a chance, but now that she had a daughter, she naturally lacked the qualifications.

Seeing that he has a favorable impression of Hong'er, perhaps I can let Hong'er become his concubine!

Feng Luan made a decision in her Inner Heart.

Her daughter was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and likewise could not be his Dao Companion, but being a concubine should be acceptable.

"Let us go!"

Qin Hao had no idea what she was thinking.

"I sense the aura of a Spirit Transformation!"

Just as the two departed, a corpse in a secret chamber within the Stone Mansion suddenly awakened.

The corpse hovered in mid-air, and wisps of Black Qi continuously emanated from its body, connecting to the surrounding secret chambers.

If anyone were to open these chambers, they would discover that the Black Qi was linked to the corpses of the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the War God Temple, stealing their spiritual power and Life Force.

"The power contained within the corpses of these Nascent Soul Cultivators is still too Weakened. If I devour that Spirit Transformation cultivator, my cultivation will surely recover much more!"

The corpse spoke slowly, "As long as I can recover to the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, I can activate the Star Compass and return to the Five Star Planet. By then, I will be able to fully restore myself to my peak state!"

Thinking of this, the corpse stood up directly.

With a light press, it pierced through the wall of the Stone Mansion, which could only be broken by those at the Spirit Transformation stage.

"Boom!"

Just as Qin Hao and Feng Luan left the Stone Mansion, they saw a massive hole suddenly burst open in the mountain peak.

A corpse wreathed in Black Qi stepped out and walked toward them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass in my War God Temple!"

Seeing the corpse break through the wall from inside the Stone Mansion, Feng Luan could not help but shout a demand.

The corpse ignored Feng Luan entirely, looking at Qin Hao with hollow eyes as it said, "What a sweet Spirit Transformation aura. I am going to devour you!"

Upon seeing the corpse, Qin Hao's brows furrowed instantly.

He recalled the identity of the creature: Nado, an Outer Domain Cultivator from the Five Star Planet.

He was one of the Outer Domain Cultivators who had besieged Situ Nan back in the day.

In the original story, this individual had been lurking in the War God Temple to heal, and it was only because Wang Mazi had stolen his Storage Bag that he had chased him all the way from the Huofen Kingdom to the Demon Cultivation Sea, and then to the Zhao Kingdom.

This was a cultivator with a Great Divine Ability; even though he had been severely wounded by Situ Nan in the past, his strength was not to be underestimated.
