The gods have descended!

Nascent Soul versus God!

The two old Daoists were at the second stage of the Fourth Realm, Nascent Soul Manifestation and absorbed Fortune. Martial artists at this level were comparable to Third Grade gods in terms of combat power and Divine Ability.

Now, what appeared before them was a Third Grade- rank deity Divine Name "Kitchen God" (Kitchen God), Divine Office were quite complex.

This was certainly not Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body descending in person.

His two bodies each have their own main body, more than two thousand miles apart, belonging to two different paths, separated by many divine Domain of Law. Even if the Divine Spirit Body wanted to come, it could not arrive overnight, and many twists and turns would arise.

However, Third Grade deities possess Spirit-Strike Method, which can bestow divine power upon believers. Although Qiu Yan's Fleshly Body is not a believer, when manifesting the Central Pivot Soul, he completely manifested it using the method of the Lying God Inner Art, which is equivalent to injecting a deity into it, thus deepening the connection.

At this moment, as the Soul Aperture replenishes Incense Faith, it immediately projects the divine body over.

Boom!

Flames surged throughout the Central Pivot Soul, expanding its Domain of Law and creating a divine Domain of Law within the Golden Crow Spirit. With the replenishment of surging divine power and the Incense Faith, this Domain of Law rapidly expanded, causing the Golden Crow's light and shadow to swell!

"Who exactly is this person..." The two Nascent Soul were shocked. They formed hand seals, used Daoist techniques, and communicated with Yin-Yang. The surrounding space immediately distorted, but then the light and shadow of a high mountain and a long river fell down. The high mountain pressed down on one Nascent Soul, while the long river entangled the other Nascent Soul!

After the Golden Crow Spirit was restrained, the two old Daoists had already lost nearly half of their combat strength. Facing a god, they were already barely managing. With the mountains and rivers closing in, they were unable to break free for a time!

Splash!

The distorted light and shadow, crushed inch by inch by the landscape, finally shattered, disintegrating even the lingering charm of the Daoist magic.

"These mountains and rivers evolved from the Domain of Law. Could this radiant shadow truly be a deity? How could a cultivator's Central Pivot Soul become a true deity?!" The two Nascent Soul cultivators were utterly shocked and finally stunned.

His mind was entangled, and his nascent Nascent Soul was suppressed; the situation was critical!

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Suddenly! A strange change occurred!

"Hmm?" The layer of flames on the surface of the Golden Crow Spirit suddenly throbbed violently, and was actually absorbed into the Divine Spirit Projection formed by the Central Pivot Soul in one breath. Then, the projection suddenly grew to twice its size, directly bursting the Golden Crow Spirit!

Boom!

The Golden Crow Spirit shattered. The two Nascent Soul were immediately severely injured, their bodies twisting and writhing before being sealed by the mountains and rivers. But Qiu Yan did not stop there. His Central Pivot Divine Shadow pressed forward, and a spark of fire leaped out!

The Humanistic Fire Seed!

The Fire Seed underwent an unknown change. It flickered incessantly, and at Fire Seed center, the shadowy figure of a Golden Crow flickered in and out of existence!

The Fire Seed flew and landed within the sealed-off mountains and rivers, but it did not evolve into Human Path. Instead, it spread rapidly, and the two Nascent Soul souls were engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye. They cried out loudly, and their pale red bodies withered and shriveled, as if they had been squeezed dry, with drops of liquid flowing out.

"What kind of flame is this? Why does the Golden Crow Spirit resonate with it?"

The auras of the two Nascent Soul cultivators plummeted, but the Central Pivot Divine Shadow did not stop. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of Domain of Law, which flowed like a river, and the projections of two divine dragons and a Yin-Yang Tower appeared.

With a loud crash, many things slammed into the Nascent Soul. The two Nascent Soul tried to resist by manipulating the Incense Burner on the table, but they were no match for the others. With a mournful cry, they were suppressed by the mountains and rivers.

In that instant, the two Golden Crow Elders, who had always been so confident, wavered and emitted strong emotional fluctuations, but these fluctuations were quickly suppressed.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Spirit had shattered, and the River of History, Illusory World rushed in. All those lights and shadows, moves, were imprinted on the Nascent Soul, compressed and condensed, and under the guidance of Qiu Yan's Divine Soul and Seven Souls, they transformed into a huge "seal" character!

The two Nascent Soul dimmed completely and were forcibly forced back into their physical bodies. However, the two old Daoists' physical bodies were already withered and looked like they were on their deathbeds.

After their Nascent Soul returned to their bodies, their supernatural Divine Ability were sealed. Where was the aura of these two enlightened masters? They lay slumped on the ground like wilted eggplants.

Qiu Yan ignored the two of them, and with a swift movement, he changed from retreat to advance. The smoke that had been chasing him had already dissipated, and his physical body returned to the room in the blink of an eye. The next moment, the divine image on his Central Pivot Soul vanished without a trace, and his Divine Soul and Seven Souls flew over and returned to his body.

Boom!

Qiu Yan's Fleshly Body and bones trembled, and his aura surged!

He raised his hand and grabbed, and the liquid flowing from the two Nascent Soul flew through the air, changing shape and shape in his hand.

These liquids, which were reddish when they first dripped down, have changed color over time, gradually turning purplish, and seem to be evaporating and dissipating. A flame is burning on the surface of the liquid, with the changing of cities and the flight of Golden Crow in the fire.

With a slight frown, Qiu Yan stretched out his fingers, making a plucking motion, and tore the flame off from the flame, gathering it into a small flame in his hand.

The Humanistic Fire Seed.

This Fire Seed originates from the Core Talisman of the Divine Spirit Body, and its root lies in the Humanistic Divine Path at the center of that talisman.

However, compared to the initial Fire Seed, after the Core Talisman was reconstructed, this Humanistic Fire Seed has gradually grown through the integration of incense and intention, and is no longer diminishing with each passing moment.

Qiu Yan retrieved this time through the Soul Aperture was half of the total Fire Seed.

"This Fire Seed, temporarily residing within our Fleshly Body, serves as a trump card. We can use the opportunity of traveling among the people to verify this Humanistic Fire Seed and explore its changes, but..."

As he pondered, Qiu Yan's gaze focused on the flames. With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see a Golden Crow perched in the center of the flames.

"I originally intended to use the Central Pivot Divine Shadow to burst and shatter the Golden Crow Spirit, but unexpectedly, at the moment the spirit was about to shatter, a strange change occurred. The Humanistic Divine Path actually absorbed the Golden Crow's shadow and tried to return to its Divine Body. If it weren't for the Humanistic Fire Seed separating it to block it, it would probably have affected the Divine Spirit Body. I don't know what secrets are hidden inside. However, in doing so, the power of the Divine Shadow greatly increased, and the aura of those two old Daoists greatly declined. Only by shifting the balance of power could we secure victory in one fell swoop."

With the two old Daoists' energy and spirit tied up, victory wouldn't be difficult. The only thing to guard against was the opponent resorting to desperate measures or escaping. Qiu Yan had a contingency plan in place, but he didn't expect that due to the strange changes in the Golden Crow Shadow, the prior preparations wouldn't need to be used at all, and the outcome of the battle would be decided.

"Logically, this is a good thing, but the Humanistic Fire Seed is the foundation of my Divine Path, yet an unpredictable change has occurred. It would be best to find out the reason behind it."

As he pondered, he organized all the information in his mind.

"The Humanistic Fire Seed... Golden Crow Dao... Golden Crow... Fire..."

Qiu Yan seemed to have grasped the underlying logic, but due to a lack of information, he couldn't yet piece it all together.

"This matter cannot be rushed. The most urgent task is to first lay a solid foundation for the path of Life Cultivation, so that we will have more room for maneuver in the future."

Thinking this, Qiu Yan opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing that Humanistic Fire Seed into his Divine Soul, where it became intertwined with the Myriad People's Heart Fire.

Both flames are under Qiu Yan's control, but they are fundamentally different from each other, and their cultivation levels are worlds apart. Therefore, they are incompatible, yet they coexist peacefully.

Having dealt with the Humanistic Fire Seed, Qiu Yan turned his attention to the Nascent Soul Fluid.

As the flames of humanity departed, the liquids were no longer suppressed, and their color changed even more drastically, quickly transforming completely into purple. Moreover, their form also changed, slowly rising like steam. If Qiu Yan hadn't restrained and controlled them, they would probably have scattered and vanished into the world.

Those few drops of Nascent Soul Fluid had already turned into purple mist.

Extending his senses, Qiu Yan explored the purple mist inside and out. Due to his limited cultivation level, he couldn't fully understand it yet. He then used his Divine Sense through the Soul Aperture to explore it again before finally grasping its essence.

"This purple mist is so complex in composition. It contains not only thoughts, True Essence, and Qi and Blood, but also a portion of Fortune, which seems to be related to a sect."

Having figured out the components, Qiu Yan couldn't see the changes in the Fortune within them very clearly. This had nothing to do with his cultivation level; it involved a more profound and mysterious realm.

"Oh? The Qi and Blood in the mist is receding. No wonder the liquid was red; that was because of the Qi and Blood. Now that the Qi and Blood is receding, the red color is dissipating, and the purple color that is revealed is its original appearance..."

Thinking this, Qiu Yan grabbed the purple smoke in his hand, then squeezed it to solidify it, and then slapped it against his waist, hitting the jade pendant hanging there.

Bite!

The jade pendant rang out once, and its emerald green body was immediately stained with a touch of purple. The rough surface gradually became smooth, and the quality of the jade changed.

This change didn't last long. By the time Qiu Yan stopped, he could clearly feel the jade pendant emitting heat.

"This jade pendant was originally just an ordinary piece of inferior jade. It only underwent some changes after the Demon King's Red Pearl was inlaid into it. Now that the Nascent Soul Fluid has been incorporated into it, I wonder what changes it will produce. I must test it out when I have the chance."

"The Nascent Soul Fluid contains immense power. If I were to absorb it, it would certainly increase my cultivation level, but it would also introduce impurities, making me less pure. I would need to expend much more effort to refine it so as not to hinder my future advancement, which would be a net loss. Nowadays, ordinary external forces can hardly increase my Life Cultivation level any further."

Thinking about this, Qiu Yan suddenly had an idea.

"If we continue to strengthen this ordinary jade pendant in the future, I wonder what level it can ultimately reach."

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, but he stopped thinking about it. It was just Spiritual Light; his main focus remained on the changes in his Fleshly Body.

"Now that we understand the general structure of the Nascent Soul and the characteristics of the combination of Qi and Blood and blood with will, we can try to advance our Life Cultivation to a higher level. The Seven Souls Manifestation is quite powerful, but only when the False Core is condensed and the Fleshly Body undergoes a change in nature can the power of the Soul Shadow be truly unleashed."
