Qin Hao Exposed; Nado Appears

Qin Hao's Nascent Soul stood towering between heaven and earth, his entire body wreathed in seven-colored light and rippling with power akin to Heavenly Might. He gave people the impression of a legendary celestial god or immortal.

Now, everyone throughout Huofen Kingdom could see Qin Hao's enormous Nascent Soul.

It was not that Qin Hao's Nascent Soul had truly become so vast that everyone could see it. Rather, under the influence of a certain law, it naturally appeared before people's eyes.

"It really is Spirit Transformation!"

"We pay our respects to Senior!"

Song Ming, Yang Sen, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the War God Temple were the first to kneel before Qin Hao's Nascent Soul.

"We pay our respects to Senior!"

The other cultivators of the War God Temple likewise fell into worship.

"Is that Senior Brother Qin?"

The instant Wang Lin saw the Nascent Soul's appearance, he recognized his identity.

"I never expected him to reach Spirit Transformation so quickly, while I'm still only at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Wang Lin thought, I need to cultivate even harder and strive to form my Nascent Soul as soon as possible!

Luohe Gate.

"H-He's Junior Brother Qin Hao? He's the one who reached Spirit Transformation?"

Li Muwan stared blankly at Qin Hao's Nascent Soul, her face filled with disbelief. "But I don't remember there being a Hengyue Sect in Huofen Kingdom. How did he end up here?"

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

Although Qin Hao in that photo had only been a sixteen-year-old boy, Li Muwan could still tell that they were very likely the same person.

Li Muwan could not help opening the Chat Group and asking about it.

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

[Yao Xixue: "??? It's only been a few years, and someone has reached Spirit Transformation again?"]

[Mei Ji: "Reaching Spirit Transformation before thirty—this is practically defying the heavens!"]

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

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

[Li Muwan: "Ah, I should have sent that privately. How did I post it in the group?"]

[Li Muwan@Yao Xixue: "Sister Xue, Junior Brother Qin didn't do it on purpose back then, and besides... besides, haven't you seen him too?"]

[Yao Xixue@Li Muwan: "Little Sister Wan'er is protecting that Shameless Little Thief so fiercely. Don't tell me you've fallen for him? Don't worry, this sister won't kill him!"]

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

[Yao Xixue: "Fine, fine, fine! Shameless Little Thief, just you wait. This Young Lady is heading to Vermilion Bird Star to find you right now!"]

[Emperor Sword Shuang'er: "Why is no one from Demon Spirit Land here? I'm so bored!"]

Luohe Gate.

"Ah!"

Li Muwan stuck out her little tongue, nearly in tears. "I think I caused trouble."

She immediately sent Qin Hao a private message.

[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. Let's see how This Young Lady tortures you!"

Yao Xixue walked out of her chambers, directly mounting the Star Compass and flying beyond Blood Star.

"What is Xue'er doing?"

Sensing his daughter's aura moving farther away, the Blood Ancestor opened his eyes and ordered, "Blood Guard, arrange for several Blood Slaves to follow Xue'er in secret!"

"Yes, Master!"

Not long afterward, another four streaks of flowing light rose from Blood Star and vanished into the horizon.

Every one of those four possessed the aura of Peak Profound Ascension.

Huofen Kingdom.

War God Temple.

Qin Hao's Nascent Soul gazed down upon the earth. With a casual grab at the void, he could tear space apart and create Space Rifts.

Back at the Nascent Soul stage, Qin Hao would likely have needed to attack one point continuously just to barely break open the void.

As Qin Hao advanced into Spirit Transformation, the black hole above Huofen Kingdom also began to slowly dissipate.

Before the black hole could vanish completely, Qin Hao suddenly grabbed at it. Ten spheres of light immediately appeared in his hand.

Of the ten spheres, three were large and seven were small.

"Go!"

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

The remaining seven small spheres also landed respectively within the bodies of the seven most gifted cultivators from the War God Temple and Luohe Gate.

"These are Spiritual Seeds condensed from spiritual energy from Beyond Heaven. They will smooth your path of cultivation all the way until you advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

After casting out the Spiritual Seeds, Qin Hao's Nascent Soul rapidly shrank and returned to Qin Hao's body.

Qin Hao opened his eyes and rose to his full height.

"Congratulations, Senior, on successfully reaching Spirit Transformation!"

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

A figure like Qin Hao was the most ideal dao companion in her heart.

That godlike aura from earlier had stirred her heart so intensely that she could barely restrain herself.

However, Feng Luan also knew that someone as astonishingly gifted as him was too distant and unattainable for her.

If she were still a virgin, she might have been able to strive for a chance. But now that she even had a daughter, she naturally no longer had such qualifications.

"He seems rather fond of Hong'er. I could let Hong'er become his concubine!"

Feng Luan made up her mind.

Her daughter was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator as well and likewise could not become his dao companion, but becoming a concubine should still be possible.

"Let's go!"

Qin Hao had no idea what she was thinking.

"I sensed the aura of Spirit Transformation!"

The moment the two left, a corpse suddenly awakened within a secret chamber of the Stone Mansion.

The corpse floated in the air out of nowhere. Strands of Black Qi continuously emanated from its body, connecting it to the surrounding secret chambers.

If anyone opened those chambers, they would discover that the Black Qi was connected to the corpses of the War God Temple's deceased Nascent Soul Ancestors, stealing the spiritual power and life force from those corpses.

"The power contained within the corpses of these Nascent Soul cultivators is still far too weak. If I devour that Spirit Transformation Cultivator, my cultivation will certainly recover even further!"

The corpse slowly said, "As long as I recover to the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, I can activate the Star Compass and return to Five Star Planet. Then I can fully recover to my peak state!"

With that thought, the corpse directly stood up.

With only a light press, it pierced through the Stone Mansion wall that only a Spirit Transformation Cultivator could break.

Boom!

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

A corpse entirely wreathed in Black Qi strode toward them.

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

Seeing that the corpse had broken through the Stone Mansion wall from within, Feng Luan could not help shouting a question.

The corpse completely ignored Feng Luan. Its hollow eyes looked toward Qin Hao as it said, "What a sweet Spirit Transformation aura. I want to devour you!"

The moment Qin Hao saw the corpse, his brows furrowed.

He recalled the other party's identity: Nado, an Outer Domain Cultivator from Five Star Planet.

He had been one of the Outer Domain Cultivators who had besieged Situ Nan back then.

In the original story, he had remained hidden within the War God Temple to recuperate. Because Wang Mazi had stolen his storage bag, he had pursued him from Huofen Kingdom to the Demon Cultivation Sea, then onward to Zhao Kingdom.

This was a Cultivator with a Great Divine Ability. Even though Situ Nan had severely injured him back then, his strength could not be underestimated.
