Spirit Transformation Demon Immortal, All the Way West!
On Divine Firmament Peak, the ten-thousand-foot-long lightning gradually subsided.
The pale giant bear's body slowly shrank, its bones crackling and reshaping; in a few breaths, Shi Jian transformed into human form.
Yet, they differed slightly from others.
He was nearly ten feet tall, with a physique as imposing as a Xiaoshan; deep within his purple-gold vertical pupils, lightning flickered erratically.
Fine arcs of purple lightning crackled and danced around his body, moving and weaving as if they were alive; most striking was the purple-gold mark that appeared between his brows.
The mark resembled lightning and contained the essence of the Spirit Transformation; just one glance was enough to sense the vast and boundless aura of the Dao of Lightning.
Shi Jian raised his palm, and lightning arcs condensed in his palm.
A wisp of purple-gold lightning danced at his fingertips. Compared to before, this lightning was more solid, and its Daoist essence was more refined. Most importantly, he could clearly sense that this lightning had a faint connection with the origin of the Dao of Lightning in the world.
The connection was extremely mysterious.
It was as if he could mobilize all the Dao of Lightning energy within a radius of ten thousand miles with just a thought; even the thunderclouds deep in the sky would gather and disperse according to his will.
This is the Spirit Transformation.
Establishing a connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth allows one to utilize the power of Heaven and Earth for one's own benefit; compared to the Nascent Soul realm, the difference seems small, yet they are worlds apart.
Furthermore, Spirit Transformation can also be called an immortal. Shi Jian used the name Purple Pivot as his title; thus, he could be called the Purple Pivot Demon Immortal, and the reason he was called an immortal was because of this.
Besides the immense power possessed by those who Spirit Transformation.
The difference lies in their lifespan, which is extremely long; the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul of the Human Race lasts only a little over a thousand years, while the Spirit Transformation can last for more than three thousand years.
As for the bear demon, its lifespan upon Spirit Transformation can reach ten thousand years!
Moreover, as long as one retains their divine will and origin, they can gradually recover; just like immortals and gods, they are extremely difficult to kill.
The key to killing a Nascent Spirit Transformation is to obliterate their fundamental nature and essence. This is why Spirit Transformation are called immortals; they do not directly attack with the power of a mere cultivation level.
Within the same realm, it is almost impossible to be killed by someone within the same realm.
Shi Jian clenched his fist, and the lightning arc dissipated; he looked up into the distance, his Divine Sense spreading out to perceive the vast land.
The entire territory, spanning three hundred thousand miles, is spread out before our eyes.
The Divine Sense of someone at the Spirit Transformation stage has a wider range and more delicate perception; it can even see the flow of Spirit Vein and the distribution of mineral deposits deep underground in the finest detail.
"My husband!"
A streak of earthy yellow light flashed by, and Shan Li transformed into human form, landing in front of him; she looked Shi Jian up and down, her vertical pupils filled with amazement.
"It really happened..."
Shan Li reached out, her fingertips touching the purple-gold mark between Shi Jian's eyebrows; the mark emanated an extremely vast Dao power, making her fingertips go numb.
Shi Jian turned his head away, his tone indifferent. "Is the clan still safe and sound?"
"Everything's fine; the Seventh Division is probably terrified."
"That old bastard Lei Ya was so arrogant before; now that my husband has broken through in one fell swoop, he still can't believe it."
Shi Jian smiled but said nothing, only turning to look westward.
Seeing his expression, Shan Li knew what he was thinking; she took a step closer and lowered her voice. "Are you going back?"
"Um."
"Are you going back to your homeland?"
"Um."
Shan Li was silent for a moment, then nodded. "It's time to go back. Your old subordinates have probably been waiting for you for a long time."
Shi Jian raised his hand, and a purple-gold lightning bolt condensed in his palm; the lightning bolt transformed into a token, which he handed to Shan Li.
"You will be in charge of clan affairs; if any of the seven tribes disobey, suppress them directly."
"Furthermore, send news of my breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation back to the ancestral court; inform the Ancestor Shanyue that I need to return to my homeland to receive my old subordinates."
Shan Li took the Jade Slip slip and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll look after things here for you. With a Spirit Transformation husband, I'll have to show off a lot!"
She paused, then continued, "Shi Xiao returned a few days ago and is now training in the Eastern Territory; Shi Lei, on the other hand, is quite cunning, spending all his time going to the Seven Departments and learning a lot."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Shi Jian's mouth, but it vanished in an instant.
"Xiao'er is steady and reliable; as for that brat Shi Lei, let him be. The Path of Frenzied Thunder is suited to him perfectly."
After speaking, Shi Jian moved, and lightning surged around him.
The next instant, a crack suddenly appeared in the void; the crack was as black as ink, and purple-gold lightning arcs pulsed incessantly at its edges.
"Wait for me to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped into the void rift; a flash of purple-gold lightning and the rift closed as if it had never existed.
Shan Li stood there, staring at the empty void, and sighed after a long while.
"That stupid bear..."
She turned around, transforming into an earth-yellow streak of light and hurtling towards the Seven Departments; she gripped the Purple Lightning Token tightly in her palm and probed it with her Divine Sense.
One can then sense its immense power, which is both a symbol of status and a protective Secret Method capable of unleashing a Spirit Transformation attack.
It is evident that after hundreds of years of living together, Shi Jian still harbored some affection for Shan Li.
It started with mutual benefit, and they remained loyal because of complementary interests, yet they were willing to work together; this is probably what is meant by growing affection over time.
Deep within the void, a streak of purple-gold lightning streaked past.
Shi Jian stood amidst the lightning, the void around him constantly twisting and changing; this was the method of the Nascent Soul Realm, far superior to the method of tearing space to travel by the Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation Realm.
This method of distorting space and manipulating the energy of the Great Dao to travel is much faster, by more than ten times!
He spread his Divine Sense throughout, sensing the direction ahead; the far west of the Beast Domain was tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of miles away from the Divine Firmament Plain.
However, at his current speed, it won't take long.
Shi Jian marveled at the power of the Spirit Transformation, and then urged the lightning to accelerate; the purple-gold lightning drew a long trajectory in the void, and in an instant it swept millions of miles away.
Along the way, many old monsters from the Spirit Transformation clans sensed this vast and boundless aura of Dao of Lightning.
But when their Divine Sense reached out and touched the purple-gold lightning, their expressions changed drastically.
"The power of the Spirit Transformation!"
"Which fellow cultivator is passing by?"
"This aura... is it the Dao of Lightning?"
Several old monsters in the Early Spirit Transformation wanted to go forward and say hello; but before they could move, the purple-gold lightning had already swept past without even pausing for half a breath.
The speed is ridiculously fast.
The old monsters looked at each other, and in the end could only watch the bolt of lightning disappear into the distance.
"So arrogant, completely disregarding us, I wonder which royal old monster is on his journey, and what he's doing heading west?"
The group of old monsters pondered this, but they couldn't figure it out.
Shi Jian ignored the Divine Sense probing and sped along; the Spirit Transformation was constantly circulating within him, and the power of the Purple Pivot Lightning Immortal Foundation flowed continuously into his meridians.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours had passed.
On the horizon ahead, a continuous mountain range appeared; the mountain range was pitch black, and the Sha Qi on the mountain was so solid that faint blood-red lines could be seen flowing in the rock layers.
It is the territory of the Beast Realm, the Western Region Sha Tiger Imperial Clan.
Shi Jian withdrew his lightning and appeared in the void; instead of passing directly through the territory of the Fiend Tiger, he flew around its edge.
While there may be no open conflict between royal families, it is ultimately inappropriate to rashly intrude into the territory of another race; as for ordinary Spirit Transformation races, even if he slaughters and commits all sorts of atrocities everywhere, no one would dare to stop him.
But if it's royalty, they still have to abide by the rules.
However, he had only flown a few thousand miles when a streak of blood-red light rushed towards him from afar; the light was filled with Sha Qi and its power was extremely violent.
Shi Jian stopped and scanned the area with his Divine Sense.
The newcomer was a giant tiger with a blood-red body, at the Middle Spirit Transformation, cultivating the Sha Qi Dao Immortal Foundation; its blood-red vertical pupils stared at Shi Jian, its eyes full of vigilance.
Who goes there?
Lightning arcs flickered slightly around Shi Jian's body, and the power of his Spirit Transformation Dao emanated outwards; that vast aura of Dao of Lightning instantly enveloped an area of tens of thousands of miles.
Blood Tiger's expression changed. He could sense that although the aura of the pale giant bear in front of him was only at the Early Spirit Transformation, its power was so profound that it was faintly no less than his own.
"The Giant Bear Clan, Shi Jian."
Shi Jian's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I'm just passing by; I have no other intentions."
Blood Tiger remained silent for a few breaths, his vertical pupils narrowing slightly; when his Divine Sense reached Shi Jian, he completely abandoned the idea of taking action.
"So you're a fellow cultivator from the Giant Bear Clan."
Blood Tiger cupped its paws, its tone unconsciously becoming much more polite. "Since you're just passing through, there's no problem; please."
Shi Jian nodded, said nothing more, and transformed into purple-gold lightning to continue flying westward.
Blood Tiger stood there, watching the lightning bolt disappear into the distance, before finally letting out a sigh.
"How long has it been since the Giant Bear Clan produced another Spirit Transformation? Their position as royalty is truly secure."
He turned around and transformed into a crimson streak of light, flying back.
The news needs to be relayed back to the clan as soon as possible. The Giant Bear Clan has just advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation, and is a cultivator specializing in Dao of Lightning. This is no small matter.
