Lightning Mountain, the Spirit Transformation Ceremony!

Divine Firmament Plain, Divine Firmament Peak.

Deep within the secluded stone hall, Shi Jian sat cross-legged; in his palm, a ball of pure purple lightning was slowly taking shape.

The lightning lacked the ferocity of the Purple Pivot Lightning, but instead exuded a profound and endless Daoist charm.

[Purple Firmament Lightning].

The second type of Immortal Foundation below the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit.

Shi Jian has already grasped the basics after a few days of contemplation; after reaching the Spirit Transformation, with a broader perspective, his speed in comprehending the Immortal Foundation at the same level is more than ten times faster.

Of course, it's still a long way from complete mastery and breaking through to the Middle Spirit Transformation.

He clenched his five fingers, crushing the ball of Purple Firmament Lightning and merging it into his flesh and blood.

He rose and left the hall.

Outside the palace, a fierce wind howled, and purple-gold thunderclouds hung extremely low.

Nine figures stood solemnly in the plaza below.

The seven Nascent Soul Bear Kings, including Lei Ya, Lei Li, Baoting Hong, and Xuanlei Min, had all transformed into human form. These seven old monsters, who were used to running rampant in the Eastern Territory, now all lowered their heads and dared not even breathe loudly.

On the other side, Shi Yin and Kuang Dou stood side by side.

Shi Yin held the purple lightning token in his hand, his face cold and stern; Kuang Dou, on the other hand, had Sha Qi on his face, his crimson vertical pupils filled with excitement.

Nine Nascent Soul Nascent Soul —this is the entirety of the Lightning Bear Line's current resources.

As for the two demons, Xiong Gang Xiong Lei, they left the Lightning Bear Line not long ago; now that the Lightning Bear Line is strong and prosperous, the two bear kings have joined forces to establish a branch and go to the frontier to guard a region.

Shi Jian's gaze swept over the crowd, his voice calm yet booming like thunder in the ears of the demons.

"Gentlemen, we shall proceed to the ancestral temple today."

"My Lightning Bear Line has been dormant for many years. Today, we will raise our flag and establish ourselves as the eighth main lineage. Today will be the glorious day for the Lightning Bear Line!"

Shi Jian raised his hand and lightly traced a line in the air with his fingertips.

"Sizzle--"

A void rift tens of thousands of feet long was suddenly torn open, and before the violent spatial turbulence could surge out, it was forcibly suppressed by an even more domineering purple-gold lightning.

Lightning crackled and intertwined within the cracks, coalescing into a colossal lightning ship tens of thousands of feet long.

The colossal ship was entirely manifested from the Purple Pivot Lightning Dao Rhyme, with thunder dragons coiled around its hull, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

"Boat."

Shi Jian took a step forward, and his figure was already on the bow of the boat.

"Here you go!"

The nine Nascent Soul roared in unison, transforming into nine streaks of light that plunged into the giant ship.

The Thunder Boat let out a deafening roar, shattering the void and transforming into an extremely thick purple-gold thunder pillar, heading straight for the Giant Bear Ancestral Court.

Lei Ya stood on the deck, looking at Shi Jian standing with his hands behind his back, and thought to himself: Only Spirit Transformation could match such a grand display.

Damn it, with a master like this, how could I possibly worry about not getting ahead!

Those old fogies, including Xuanlei Min, were all staring wide-eyed, clearly completely stunned by this Spirit Transformation stage technique.

The Giant Bear Ancestral Court lies deep within the heartland.

The original layout, surrounded by seven towering sacred mountains, has been completely disrupted.

In the due east-southeast direction, a colossal peak, entirely black and covered with lightning strike patterns, rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the sky.

Above the mountain, countless bolts of lightning, in shades of azure, dark gray, and deep purple, danced among the rock strata, and the energy of Dao of Lightning in the heavens and earth converged here like rivers flowing into the sea.

This is the eighth sacred mountain that Shi Jian painstakingly uprooted within the clan.

He said: Lightning Mountain!

At this moment, countless Demon Cultivator of the Giant Bear Clan gathered both inside and outside the ancestral court.

The Nascent Soul and Golden Core Nascent Soul of the seven main lineages all stood atop their respective sacred mountains, their gazes all fixed on the eastern horizon.

Suddenly, a muffled explosion came from the depths of the sky.

As if the sky had been forcibly torn apart, a massive, ten-thousand-foot-long bolt of purple-gold lightning crashed out from the depths of the void.

The lightning bolt moved with incredible speed, hovering above the ancestral court in the blink of an eye, transforming into a colossal thunderous vessel; the boundless might of the Spirit Transformation crashed down like a hundred thousand mountains.

Countless bear demons at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm below, under this overwhelming power, uncontrollably buckled at the knees and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"How domineering Lei Wei is..."

A Nascent Soul Bear King from the Mountain Bear Main Lineage twitched slightly, secretly alarmed.

At the bow of the ship, Shi Jian looked down at Lightning Mountain with a slight smile on his lips; he stepped forward, and the ten-thousand-foot-long thunder ship suddenly collapsed, turning into a rain of purple-gold thunder that fell from the sky.

Ten figures descended from the sky and landed steadily on the white jade plaza atop Divine Firmament Mountain.

Shi Jian stood in the center, flanked by nine Nascent Soul including Lei Ya, their imposing presence reaching the heavens.

Shan Li was already waiting in the square. Seeing Shi Jian land, he quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Husband, all the patriarchs of the various lineages are already waiting in the main hall on the main peak."

"The clan has certainly given us a lot of face with this display of power today."

Shi Jian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the nine Nascent Soul Nascent Soul: "You all wait here. Shi Yin, guard the gate."

"Yes, sir!" Shi Yin gripped the long command token tightly and responded loudly.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shi Jian and Shan Li transformed into streaks of light and headed straight for the central main peak.

The main hall on the summit stands majestically.

The palace doors were wide open, revealing a dark and deep interior, from which several terrifyingly powerful Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators could be faintly seen; each of these cultivators was as deep and vast as the ocean, intertwining at the palace doors to form an invisible barrier.

This is not a show of force, but a test.

Just as Shi Jian landed on the jade steps in front of the hall, an aged and somewhat cold voice came from inside the hall.

"Shi Jian, this position of the eighth main branch isn't something you can secure just by putting on airs."

Shi Jian continued walking, and the purple-gold thunder seal between his brows shone brightly.

He didn't even bother to utter a single word of nonsense. His Purple Pivot Lightning Immortal Foundation suddenly activated, and an incomparably violent Dao of Lightning source crashed into the palace gate without reservation.

"Boom!"

The invisible barrier shattered inch by inch, and violent arcs of lightning raged within the hall.

Shi Jian strode into the hall, his purple-gold vertical pupils blazing with lightning.

Whether you can sit still or not, we'll have to try to find out.

"Gentlemen, I, Shi, have not come this far from being a pushover!"
