Supreme Saint Rank, Divine Expansion Step! Ji Chenkong Breaks Through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Ji Zining rose to her feet with a satisfied smile.

"A Saint Rank High Grade divine ability really is extraordinary!"

After witnessing its power just now, Ji Zining was confident that no one in the Nascent Soul Realm could withstand it!

Even Spirit Transformation Realm experts who had formed their divine souls would have to avoid its edge, unless they were exceptionally monstrous.

For when they faced it, they would have only one fate, just like Nascent Soul Realm cultivators: the destruction of both divine soul and body!

It was only a pity that Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations was of such a high rank that every use consumed an immense amount of spiritual power.

Although she was now at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm Eighth Layer,

even if she went all out, she could only unleash the first form of Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations.

Ji Zining reckoned she would have to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm before she could unleash the second form.

The difference between the amounts of spiritual power required for the first and second forms was far too great!

At the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm Eighth Layer, she could unleash the first form dozens of times, but she could not manage even a single use of the second.

Just then, Li Changsheng's somewhat astonished voice sounded from the side.

"The Sword Artistic Conception-you comprehended it just like that?"

Ji Zining turned her head at his words and nodded slightly.

"How else was I supposed to comprehend it? But I have to say, Sword Intent really lives up to its name."

"Even though I've only comprehended ten percent of it, my attack power has increased severalfold."

"I'm looking forward to the day I fully comprehend Sword Intent. Just how terrifying will the increase in my attack power be then?"

How else was she supposed to comprehend it?

Ji Zining's question left Li Changsheng speechless.

Right!

How else was she supposed to comprehend it?

She had comprehended Sword Intent in the time it took to receive a divine ability. It was easier for her than eating or drinking, so how else was she supposed to comprehend it?

She didn't even need to comprehend it, all right?

Li Changsheng shook his head helplessly.

It seemed he had still underestimated just how monstrous Ji Zining was.

Such terrifying comprehension was truly frightening!

Ji Zining's gaze fell on the last cyan jade slip on the stone table, and she could not help looking forward to it.

The first sword was the Void-Soaring Sword, a Saint Rank Supreme Grade weapon beneath only Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons, with an edge beyond compare.

The second jade slip she had opened contained the Saint Rank High Grade divine ability Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations, profound and terrifying.

The last jade slip contained a movement technique, and the first two items had been so powerful,

so surely this last jade slip would not be much worse?

Without hesitation, Ji Zining snatched the cyan jade slip off the stone table.

She sent out her divine sense, pouring it into the cyan jade slip as she had before.

In an instant, torrents of information flooded into Ji Zining's mind.

Not daring to delay, Ji Zining sat cross-legged again and began to receive and digest it.

As Ji Zining received the information from the jade slip, Li Changsheng watched her every move without blinking.

After watching for a while, however, he saw no sign of Ji Zining comprehending another power of artistic conception, and Li Changsheng breathed a small sigh of relief.

Good, good. If she comprehended another power of artistic conception, Li Changsheng felt he would surely go mad.

Ji Zining had no idea what Li Changsheng was thinking. All her attention was immersed in the torrent of information in her mind.

Just as she had guessed, the movement technique stored in this last jade slip was no ordinary thing either!

A Saint Rank High Grade movement divine ability, Divine Expansion Step!

Heaven unfolds forty-nine, and one escapes its grasp. Divine Expansion Step divinely unfolds its movement, pursuing the escaped one-thus was it named Divine Expansion Step!

As its name suggested, when cultivated to the utmost, Divine Expansion Step was said to allow its user to pursue the one that had escaped the Heavenly Dao through sheer speed!

From the description alone, Ji Zining knew how powerful it was.

Whether in battle or on a journey, Divine Expansion Step could be used in different ways according to its user's intent.

It could be called an exceptionally versatile movement technique, one that could remain in use throughout her journey.

Perhaps only Emperor Rank movement divine abilities could surpass it.

Of course, there was also the Divine Rank, unknown to the world!

A long while later.

Ji Zining opened her eyes again, an indescribable fondness in them.

Divine Expansion Step, what a treasure!

I'll fight so fast you can't run away, and if I can't beat you, I'll use Divine Expansion Step to flee!

With Divine Expansion Step, her speed was now more than ten times faster!

Never mind the Nascent Soul Realm-even someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm would be dreaming if they thought they could catch her.

Perhaps only Saint Manifestation Realm experts could match or even crush her in combat strength and speed.

The Saint Manifestation Realm was the stage at which mortals transformed into saints, the very pinnacle of cultivation along the human path, its power beyond imagining.

Ji Zining was confident, but not conceited.

Once she reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, she might be able to test herself against a Saint Manifestation Realm expert. As she was now, she was no match for one.

Ji Zining stood and cupped her hands respectfully to Li Changsheng.

"Thank you for your gifts, Ancestor!"

Though this old man liked pretending to be young and was especially fond of promising people pies in the sky, when he was truly needed, he came through.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. With Sword Slashes the Eight Desolations and Divine Expansion Step, you can be said to have truly set foot on the path of cultivation."

"From now on, you must not seek quick success and immediate gains. With your talent, you might be able to catch a glimpse of the Great Emperor realm!"

"Break the curse that has kept any living being in our True Martial Dao Domain from breaking through to the Great Emperor realm since ancient times!"

When he finished, traces of hope appeared in Li Changsheng's eyes.

Great Emperor!

Ji Zining's expression grew solemn.

A Great Emperor, a figure who had not appeared since ancient times!

Li Changsheng actually had that much confidence in her?

But reaching the Great Emperor realm was not only Li Changsheng's hope for her; it was also the achievement she had wanted to attain from the very beginning.

Ji Zining smiled faintly and parted her red lips.

"Rest assured, Ancestor. I'll give it my all."

Her tone was casual, but Li Changsheng heard her unwavering resolve in it. He smiled with relief and was just about to speak.

Suddenly, a pressure burst forth from not far away, drawing both their attention.

Sensing the familiar presence, Ji Zining brightened and hurriedly looked in Ji Chenkong's direction.

She knew this presence well. It belonged to her father, Ji Chenkong!

And the pressure it carried was no longer that of the Nascent Soul Realm, but the true Spirit Transformation Realm!

Ji Chenkong opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Had he broken through?

Had breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm been that simple?

And besides...

With a thought, Ji Chenkong clenched his hand into a fist.

The next instant, a weighty, profound power appeared out of thin air around his fist.

Within that power was a presence that seemed capable of suppressing everything.

Sensing that power, Ji Chenkong looked entranced.

Fist Intent!

The Fist Intent he had dreamed of!

At the same time as his cultivation broke through, he had also comprehended the Fist Intent he had always wanted to comprehend but had never truly been able to grasp!

Ji Chenkong rose to his feet and cupped his hands respectfully to Li Changsheng.

"Thank you for your gift, Ancestor!"

If not for that cup of Dao Comprehension Tea, he certainly could not have broken through so quickly, nor could he have comprehended Fist Intent.

All of it had begun with the cup of tea Li Changsheng had given him yesterday.

Li Changsheng waved a hand.

"That's not important. What matters now is that you need to go out and undergo your Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation!"

Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation!

Hearing those words, Ji Chenkong's expression grew solemn, and he drew a sharp breath.

After breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, one had to successfully undergo the tribulation to be considered a true Spirit Transformation Realm expert.

He had waited a long time for this day!

Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, a mere Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation of the Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation level could not stop him from becoming a true Spirit Transformation Realm expert!

"Please send me out, Ancestor, so I can undergo the tribulation!"

Ji Zining gave Ji Chenkong an encouraging smile, then nodded slightly as well.

"Ancestor, I've obtained what I wanted. Why not send me out with Father?"

"I'd also like to see just what the Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation is like."
