671: Late Divine Court, the Realm of Divine Consciousness

Two months later.

Above the Xuanhe Sect, an anomaly appeared. The sky turned a golden color, and golden light flashed within a hundred thousand li radius, creating a huge commotion.

"What's going on?"

"Why has the sky turned golden?"

"Could it be that some heaven-defying treasure has appeared in our Xuanhe Sect?"

"..."

The people of the Xuanhe Sect appeared one after another, staring at the sky in shock. The golden expanse was too vast, and no one knew its source.

The Guixu Realm Ancestor of the Xuanhe Sect appeared. He was a white-haired old man in a gray robe.

He gazed at the sky, his eyes piercing through heaven and earth, as if trying to see through the illusion.

But he found a mysterious power blocking him, causing his eyes to sting and tears of blood to flow.

"This is..."

The Ancestor of Mysterious River covered his eyes, his expression utterly horrified.

He could sense that a powerful soul fluctuation was contained within the sky, but a mysterious power obscured it, making it impossible for him to see through or glimpse the source of this soul fluctuation.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a strange force surged into the sky, all the golden light dissipated, and the anomaly vanished, as if nothing had happened.

"This..."

The people of the Xuanhe Sect were stunned for a second, wondering why the anomaly had disappeared.

At the same time.

Within the emperor talisman, golden light permeated and filled the huge space. A formation appeared, sealing the golden light and concealing the heaven and earth anomaly.

Xie Weilou sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly shut, a mysterious aura emanating from him.

The Six Profound Aspects appeared above his head, and his divine soul underwent earth-shattering changes once again. His Sea of Consciousness expanded dozens of times, forming a vast golden divine consciousness domain.

Time passed by second by second, and Xie Weilou's aura continued to surge.

Three hours later.

Boom!

A roaring sound came from Xie Weilou.

Golden light swept in all directions, and the power of his divine soul spanned heaven and earth. His cultivation advanced directly from Divine Court to Divine Court (Late-Stage).

His divine consciousness domain expanded further, the golden light dazzling and brilliant.

Dense blood-colored other shore flower appeared all around, with many Corpse Skeletons laid out among them. The Six Profound Aspects floated, their aura further enhanced.

"..."

Xie Weilou circulated the Nirvana Sutra, quickly formed hand seals, and frantically suppressed the power within his body.

After a while.

The pressure on Xie Weilou's body dissipated, his Profound Manifestation returned to his golden dantian, and his divine soul retracted.

The golden light within the emperor talisman disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

"Divine Court (Late-Stage)... it just happened like that."

Xie Weilou slowly opened his eyes, a strange look appearing in them.

This time, comprehending the formations, Restriction, and runes within the emperor talisman, he had not expected his cultivation to break through so silently.

Originally, he had planned to refine some pills and go into seclusion after comprehending the emperor talisman, but now it seemed unnecessary.

However, this was also normal. Comprehending the formations, Restriction, and runes within the emperor talisman naturally required powerful divine soul energy.

His previous comprehension seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment, and his divine soul surged silently, which allowed his cultivation to advance another level.

"This breakthrough is a pleasant surprise. Let me examine my own changes."

Xie Weilou observed his body.

Divine Court (Late-Stage) was complete. Nine Divine Rivers, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, poured into an area, forming a divine consciousness domain.

Why call it a domain, and not a Sea of Consciousness?

Because the divine consciousness domain before him seemed extremely vast, many times larger than his divine soul lake.

But in Xie Weilou's opinion, this could only be considered a divine consciousness sea area, one that had an end in sight, rather than an boundless ocean.

When he was at Phoenix Perch Mountain before, he had visited the Sea of Consciousness of that ancient divine phoenix. That was a true Sea of Consciousness, boundless and awe-inspiring.

Compared to that, his divine consciousness domain was clearly too small, far from reaching the point where it could be called a "Sea of Consciousness."

But even so, his divine soul had surged this time, becoming far more terrifying than before.

Once a divine soul attack was launched, it would surely be devastating. As for how strong it was and what level of existence it could obliterate, he would have to find a strong person to test it to find out.

His golden dantian had also undergone a huge change, expanding by another fold, and the spiritual power contained within it was even more vast.

The aura of the Six Profound Aspects was even fiercer, his combat power was surging, and his physical body was strengthening.

In addition, there was the improvement in the three aspects of formations, Restriction, and talismans.

In three months, all three had made rapid progress.

His formation path had entered the mid-stage of the ninth-grade.

His Restriction had reached the peak of the ninth-grade.

His talismans had reached the peak of the ninth-grade.

With these three great skills, even if he encountered a Guixu Realm peak expert, he would not fear in the slightest.

The improvement of these three skills was the greatest progress made in this comprehension.

During this comprehension of the emperor talisman, Xie Weilou learned some things about this emperor talisman.

The owner of this emperor talisman was a Central Region Imperial Master. Throughout the Eastern Desolate Continent, for countless ages, no Imperial Master had ever been born.

Looking at the even larger Heaven Desolate, throughout the endless river of history, only one Imperial Master had ever been born, and that was the owner of this talisman.

This emperor talisman was extremely unique, as it reached the imperial level in its highest aspects.

His current ninth-grade was just the beginning, far from enough, and he still had a long way to go.

"The Three Thousand Great Daos, each one is extraordinary. I still need to keep working hard."

Xie Weilou sighed.

Buzz!

The emperor talisman emitted a force, moving Xie Weilou out.

Xie Weilou appeared in his cave abode. He looked at the emperor talisman floating before him. This item was infinitely valuable and still had huge room for comprehension.

He put away the emperor talisman, then sat down and took out various spiritual materials.

Now that his formation path, Restriction, and talismans had all greatly improved, he naturally had to prepare more formation plates, Restriction, and talismans. When he encountered a strong enemy, he could just take them out and smash people... Half a month later.

Xie Weilou refined ten ninth-grade formation plates, fifty ninth-grade Restriction, and fifty ninth-grade talismans, of various types.

They could defend, attack, trap enemies, and amplify himself, with endless uses.

After gathering all the items.

Xie Weilou stood up. He stretched, and said with a faint smile, "It's time to go out and see."

After leaving the cave abode, Xie Weilou flew away.

Qingmu Peak.

Some disciples were hurriedly leaving.

"Lu Feng, it's the Xuanhe Sect Disciple Grand Competition today, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow."

An elder of Qingmu Peak, dressed in a green robe, happened to look at Xie Weilou. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Lu Feng was his disciple, but this disciple's performance was very poor, not living up to expectations at all.

Having been in Qingmu Peak for many years, his cultivation was only at the Shackles Realm, which was extremely poor compared to disciples who joined at the same time.

Xie Weilou looked at this elder. This person was named Qing Yazi, and he was Lu Feng's master.

As for the other party's cultivation, it was at the early-stage Dongxuan Realm, ranking second in Qingmu Peak, second only to the Qingmu Peak Leader.

"..."

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and followed.
