Transformation Spirit, Unique Divine Ring

Chapter 30: Spirit Transformation, The Unique Divine Ring

"An... an Archaic Vicious Beast, Zhu Yan?!!"

The bandit leader's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He struggled to tilt his head back, gazing up at the supreme golden creature, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Splat!"

Before the bandit leader could finish his sentence, a golden beast claw descended from the sky and crushed him into a pulp. It was the Spirit Transformation Realm Golden Pangolin, the Sacrificial Spirit.

"Awoo~~"

The Golden Pangolin that had just crushed the bandit leader whimpered, prostrating itself on the ground like the most docile of beasts, repeatedly kowtowing to the golden creature that towered into the clouds.

It had shamefully defected on the spot!

"Not bad. Those who submit to circumstances are wise; I admire you."

The supreme golden creature paused for a moment, then bared its teeth and let out a thunderous laugh that echoed through the clouds like rolling peals of thunder.

"Woo-woo~"

Before the Golden Pangolin could show any joy, a furry beast claw that blotted out the sky tore through the void and snatched it up.

"So... become my food!"

With that, the twenty-zhang-long primordial freak was shoved into a gaping, blood-red maw with brutal force, followed by the bone-chilling sound of chewing.

"Run!"

The pressure of facing an Archaic Vicious Beast had already caused the hundreds of bandits to collapse, and the defection of their Sacrificial Spirit was the final straw. They scattered like birds and beasts.

"Roar! Ants, you must all die!"

After devouring the freak, the Zhu Yan roared, lifting a beast leg like a pillar of heaven and stomping down with a boom. The earth cracked, runes intertwined, and the bandits were reduced to meat paste.

"Zhu Yan... an Archaic Vicious Beast of the Venerable Realm. You were actually punching and kicking such a supreme creature just now? This is a peerless terror that even the Human Emperor of an ancient kingdom wouldn't have the absolute certainty to subdue..."

Inside the village, the elder Shi Jian'an turned his head stiffly, muttering in a daze.

"This is the First Ancestral Land; anything is possible."

As he spoke, Little Shi smiled and waved at the victorious Zhu Yan.

Time flew, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Little Shi sat withered on the mountaintop for half a year, finally succeeding in merging his twelve Heaven Caves into one, opening the Unique Heaven Cave and evolving a hazy immortal domain.

When the Unique Heaven Cave was held back and not released, a world-shaking divine ring appeared, serving as a protective divine ability.

After the successful evolution of the Unique Heaven Cave, Little Shi spent another half-year in meditation, successfully achieving Spirit Transformation and becoming a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

Taking advantage of the merger of the twelve Heaven Caves, he summoned the Unique Heaven Cave to draw in endless divine essence to cleanse his physical body, completing the first stage of Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation—sanctifying the flesh.

The Spirit Transformation Realm is a process of reshaping one's true self, roughly divided into the physical sanctification of the body, the spiritual rediscovery of the true self, and finally, the nurturing of spirits within the Heaven Caves.

Sanctifying the flesh and reshaping the true self are easy to understand.

The so-called nurturing of spirits in the Heaven Caves involves planting flawless laws within the caves to evolve deities that possess near-independent wills, even rivaling the legendary external incarnations.

On this day, Shi Hao, who had sat withered on the mountaintop for a year, chose to walk down the Desolate Mountain.

"Willow Deity, I have returned."

The youth, whose features were becoming increasingly refined, sat cross-legged beneath the tender green willow tree.

"Spirit Transformation Realm. Not bad, and you have completed the first stage of cultivation. The next step is the spiritual rediscovery of the true self. What are your plans?"

The unassuming willow tree swayed in unison. Over the years, five or six new, tender green willow branches had sprouted, casting a faint green glow over the village.

Shi Hao's heart stirred, but his expression remained calm. "None at the moment."

"Then go to the Void God Realm for a trip. The Void God Realm is a spiritual world created by the ancient gods working together. Entering the realm to train your thoughts will temper your spirit, and upon returning to reality, it will provide feedback to your physical body, which will be very helpful for the second stage of your cultivation."

The Willow Deity said.

From ancient times to the present, most of the gods behind the ancient kingdoms have perished, yet the kingdoms still insist on national sacrifices to maintain the legacy left by the ancient gods—the Void God Realm.

The great secret behind this is actually quite simple.

The Void God Realm is equivalent to a large local area network. The gods of the ancient kingdoms left behind access ports or user accounts, and the national sacrifices are essentially paying the internet bill to obtain continued access.

So, why can one only enter the Void God Realm within the territory of an ancient kingdom? Because that is where the Wi-Fi signal covers.

In the vast Great Wilderness, the signal cannot reach, so naturally, one cannot log into the local network.

As a supreme giant, the Willow Deity possesses super-administrator privileges, allowing her to log into the Void God Realm even in the wilderness without restriction or detection.

Shi Hao thought to himself that it was as expected, and he nodded gently. "The Void God Realm? That sounds like an interesting place."

"I will take you there."

As the words fell, five or six tender green willow branches suddenly surged into order-woven divine chains several kilometers long, probing into the void and tearing the firmament apart, faintly opening a hazy portal.

"Let us go."

Shi Hao, sitting beneath the willow tree, had his spirit instantly depart, colliding into the hazy portal.

Within an ancient space filled with mist, collapsed palaces and pavilions lay everywhere; as far as the eye could see, there were only ruins, desolate and lonely.

"This is the Land of Fallen Gods, a place ordinary people cannot reach. Pick a direction and keep moving forward; you will soon arrive at the initial grounds. It is a place where only the cultivation of the Blood Moving Realm can be manifested. You will understand once you arrive."

In the ancient ruins, a towering willow tree suppressed the heavens and the earth.

Shi Hao bowed with cupped hands and quickly vanished into the thick mist.

This was a world of light, bustling with noise and excitement. Talents from major factions across the Eight Regions had gathered here, clashing to create the most world-shaking battle records.

"Void God Realm, I have arrived."

A youth who had walked out of the Great Wilderness arrived here quietly.

Legend had it that if one surpassed the extreme limits and broke major records, the Void God Realm would bestow fragments of the Primordial Bronze Book. When the fragments were collected in full, one could even exchange them for a peerless precious technique coveted by pure-blooded creatures and divine birds.

Shi Yi, the ancient possessor of the double pupils, had once frantically broken various extreme records to assemble a complete page of the Primordial Bronze Book, for which the Void God Realm had bestowed upon him a mysterious sacred object.

Shi Hao had naturally come to collect the bronze book as well, but his goal was not some inanimate object; it was the ultimate inheritance of the Void God Realm—the True Phoenix Precious Technique!

"Then, let the first record start with extreme speed."

Little Shi's physical body began to glow. Countless Bone Texts emerged, densely packed, weaving together behind him to form a pair of golden wings. With a whoosh, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Boom!"

Soon, a crystalline stone tablet descended upon every grotto-heaven of the Void God Realm, flashing with blinding divine light:

Shi Hao, Extreme Speed, unsurpassed in the Blood Moving Realm!

"Extreme speed? A speed limit that hadn't been broken in three thousand years has been surpassed overnight. The undefeated myth of that saint from the Chenliu Clan has been shattered."

"Shi Hao? The name sounds unfamiliar. It sounds like a descendant of the Stone Kingdom's royal lineage. Could he be the son of some top-tier marquis? The War Prince or the Martial Prince?"

"Impossible. My father is Marquis Jinxiu of the Stone Kingdom. I know all the talents of the Stone Kingdom's royal lineage, and there is no such person as Shi Hao."

People were shocked, and the major grotto-heavens were in an uproar.
