238: Double breakthrough, Ten Thousand Soul Lotus

"Boom!"

Red lightning poured down from the sky, and Gu Qing immediately brought out the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower to devour the World-Destroying Divine Lightning.

The Soul Crossing Sea Starfield is very special, like a separate realm that isolates the outside world, so there's no need to worry about innate aura leaking out and being sensed by supreme powerful beings.

As for the Heavenly Ghost Clan of the Soul Crossing Sea Starfield...

The Calamity Black Dragon hid in the void, ready to swallow any Heavenly Ghost Clan members that approached.

These Heavenly Ghost Clan members were mostly in the Saint Realm, with a few in the Divine Fire Realm, making them mere snacks for the Calamity Black Dragon.

No matter how many came, they wouldn't be enough for the Calamity Black Dragon to swallow in one gulp.

There were also Divine Fire Realm experts sent by Long Jue to track them, skilled in void stealth techniques.

But in front of Gu Qing, who had awakened Space Law, they were like brandishing a big saber before Guan Gong—utterly useless.

Before they could even follow for long, Gu Qing easily killed them with a slap from afar.

"Innate treasure..." Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes widened, her heart churning with shock.

Although she couldn't determine its grade, judging by the innate aura emanating from the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower, it was definitely an innate treasure.

Zhi Meng never expected that she would actually see the legendary Innate Spirit Treasure in her lifetime.

And it was in the hands of her disciple, Gu Qing.

Zhi Meng couldn't remain calm; she found it hard to imagine how Gu Qing had obtained an Innate Spirit Treasure in the lower realm.

Were there Innate Spirit Treasures in the lower realm?

In her understanding, Innate Spirit Treasures were born of heaven and earth, and their numbers were fixed, making them extremely rare.

They should have been completely divided among the great gods at the beginning of the world.

There shouldn't be any ownerless innate treasures left in the world.

So, the question was, where did Gu Qing's Hongmeng Ruyi Tower come from?

Could Gu Qing be an innate great god from the beginning of heaven and earth?

"No, impossible."

As soon as this thought appeared, Zhi Meng immediately shook her head and rejected it.

Having spent so many years with Gu Qing, she knew perfectly well whether Gu Qing was the reincarnation of a powerful being.

Gu Qing was young and spirited, full of vitality, and deeply filial, possessing the unique youthful charm of a young man; it was impossible for him to be the reincarnation of an old monster.

So, were there really unrevealed Innate Spirit Treasures in this world?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhi Meng was overjoyed and proudly thought, "My disciple has the potential of an Immortal Emperor."

To achieve the Dao of an Immortal Emperor, mere talent is not enough.

One also needs great perseverance, great fortune, and great destiny to possibly achieve the Dao of an Immortal Emperor.

And Gu Qing possessed all of these.

On the other side, Gu Qing was fully refining the World-Destroying Divine Lightning, and his physique, divine soul, and cultivation were rapidly transforming.

Wisps of divine dao laws spewed from his body, and Chaos Qi permeated, making him seem like an ancient Chaos God.

The Hongmeng Ruyi Tower spewed endless Xuan Huang Mother Qi for Gu Qing to absorb and refine, and his cultivation quickly soared.

The fire of his divine soul ignited; as long as the divine fire was inextinguishable, his divine soul would be inextinguishable, and his life would be endless.

Nine days passed in a flash.

Gu Qing perfectly passed his tribulation, and his cultivation broke through to the first peak.

Gu Qing looked inward, carefully experiencing the changes in his body.

Every wisp of his blood exuded inextinguishable law dao rhythm, containing terrifying power.

A single drop of blood was like a true dragon, capable of slaying Divine Fire Realm cultivators.

His three thousand acupoints were like three thousand Chaos Sword Realms, with sword qi emanating astonishing sharpness.

"I'm too strong!" Gu Qing thought proudly.

Compared to those in the same realm, a single drop of his blood or a wisp of his sword qi could kill them.

However, this was not surprising, as Gu Qing had used too many resources.

It was tens of thousands of times more than what other cultivators used, and all were rare treasures like precious liquids and Xuan Huang Mother Qi.

"Congratulations on finally achieving eternal life, igniting the divine fire, and becoming immortal and indestructible." Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration.

Gu Qing was too strong, beyond all reason.

The aura emanating from Gu Qing carried innate dao rhythm, supreme and sacred, not at all like a cultivator, but more like an innate divine being naturally nurtured by heaven and earth.

This was truly astonishing.

From this, it could be concluded that Gu Qing was not some Zhou Tian Star Divine Body at all, but rather some Great Dao Body.

"Yes, Master, I have achieved the Divine Fire Realm!"

Gu Qing excitedly hugged Zhi Meng.

After many years of cultivation, he finally ignited the divine fire; from now on, as long as the divine fire was inextinguishable, his life would be endless, and he would be an immortal.

"Mmm~ Disciple, please let go of your Master first."

Zhi Meng smelled the aura on Gu Qing's body and immediately felt her whole body go numb, unable to muster any strength.

Gu Qing held his soft Master, somewhat reluctant to let go.

Let him hold her a little longer.

After all, he had broken through to the Divine Fire Realm; what was wrong with being a little excited?

"Are you done?"

Zhi Meng's voice was soft, just like her body at this moment.

On the day Gu Qing achieved eternal life, such a joyous day, she couldn't bear to say a harsh word.

"Done."

"Then let's go!"

Gu Qing released his arms, glanced at the map coordinates, and, taking Zhi Meng, used Space Teleportation. Space dao rhythm surged around him as he crossed the star river in a single step.

Soon, they arrived at a void, where there were indeed Shi Guang Xuan Wo (Time Vortexes).

And not just one, but a full ninety-nine of them.

However, there were quite a few Heavenly Ghost Clan members hidden in the surrounding space-time.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Gu Qing decided to test the power of the Chaotic Return to Ruin Sword Art. With a flick of his sleeve, tens of thousands of Chaotic Return to Ruin Sword Intent instantly annihilated the Divine Fire Realm and Saint Realm Heavenly Ghost Clan members who hadn't even reacted.

"Amazing!"

Zhi Meng exclaimed.

The Heavenly Ghost Clan was no ordinary foe; in the Ancient Era, they were an existence that made all races tremble in fear.

They were born with innate divine abilities for soul attacks, and due to their talent for shifting between reality and illusion, ordinary divine abilities simply couldn't destroy them.

And Heavenly Ghosts who broke through to the Heavenly God Realm were even more terrifying.

Even the most potent solar divine fires and the most unyielding solar divine lightning in the world still found it difficult to destroy them.

As for Immortal King Realm Heavenly Ghost Clan members, they were truly terrifying; Immortal Kings of the same realm simply couldn't kill them, only seal them.

Besides this, the Heavenly Ghost Clan had another heaven-defying talent: possession.

This was almost the innate talent of the Heavenly Ghost Clan; they could possess cultivators one major realm higher than themselves.

And they could perfectly control the cultivator's physical body and cultivation.

Therefore, ever since the Heavenly Ghost Clan emerged, all races in the Immortal Realm lived under the shadow of the Heavenly Ghost Clan.

The beings of the Immortal Realm became the hunting grounds for the Heavenly Ghost Clan.

However, legend has it that the Heavenly Ghost Clan offended a supreme existence, who directly altered the rules of heaven and earth.

All Heavenly Ghost Clan experts above the Divine Fire Realm were wiped out by heaven and earth overnight.

Only some small fry remained, hiding in secret realms.

The Heavenly Ghost Clan existing today has degenerated in talent and is no longer the Heavenly Ghost Clan of the Ancient Era.

Without the heaven-defying possession talent, they can no longer break through to the Heavenly God Realm, nor can they appear in the outside world, otherwise they will surely be wiped out by the rules of heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Ghost Clan is no longer a concern.

But the Heavenly Ghost Clan's talent for shifting between reality and illusion still remains, making it difficult for ordinary divine abilities to destroy them.

Only supreme solar divine fires, heavenly lightning, and other divine abilities can destroy them.

And Gu Qing's Chaotic Return to Ruin Sword Intent, with its 'one sword to return to ruin,' was an existence superior to any supreme solar divine ability.

"Three drops of time marrow, Master, we've struck it rich."

Gu Qing split open the Time Vortex with a single sword and found a total of three drops.

Zhi Meng's red lips moved.

She had still underestimated the Chaotic Return to Ruin Sword Intent.

The Time Vortex, which meant certain death for Heavenly God Realm experts, was split open with one sword—this was the divine ability of 'one sword to return all to ruin.'

Zhi Meng glanced at the jade bottle in her hand.

This treasure, which she had spent a great deal of money to acquire specifically for detecting and collecting time marrow, was now completely useless.

"Let's go. According to the map coordinates, there's a postnatal spiritual root not far away, the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus, an existence even more precious than the immortal ying flower."

This was information Zhi Meng had acquired from a rogue cultivator; she didn't know if it was true or not.

"Okay!"

Having map coordinates was great; there was no need to search the whole world. They could just cross the star river and kill everything in their path.

Soon, Gu Qing, with Zhi Meng, arrived at a continent, encountering Heavenly Ghost Clan members along the way.

Gu Qing didn't bother killing them; he let the Calamity Black Dragon swallow them all in one gulp.

These Heavenly Ghost Clan members were simply nourishing snacks for the Calamity Black Dragon.

After devouring several hundred of them, the Calamity Black Dragon broke through to the fourth layer of the Heavenly God Realm—this was truly an unexpected surprise.

The two were bathed in divine light, like a pair of deities, moving unhindered through the endless darkness.

Soon they arrived at the location of the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus.

"Roar!"

The Calamity Black Dragon roared, swallowing the several thousand Heavenly Ghost Clan members guarding the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus in one gulp.

The Calamity Black Dragon was the source of evil demons, possessing a natural suppression over the Heavenly Ghost Clan, or rather, it could instantly kill anyone whose realm was lower than its own.

After digesting several thousand Heavenly Ghost Clan members, the Calamity Black Dragon successfully broke through to the fifth layer of the Heavenly God Realm.

Gu Qing's arrival was simply a disaster for the Heavenly Ghost Clan, like lambs to the slaughter, completely defenseless.

"It's the blooming Ten Thousand Souls Lotus, Master, quickly go and refine it."

Looking at the huge white lotus blooming in the soul pond, Gu Qing said excitedly.

The Ten Thousand Souls Lotus, as its name suggests, needs to absorb the divine souls of ten thousand cultivators above the Saint Realm to bloom.

The more divine souls it absorbs afterward, the more powerful the effect of the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus becomes.

"For me?"

Zhi Meng was stunned.

This was a postnatal spiritual root, and because the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus could nourish the soul, cleanse the divine soul, and enhance comprehension, it was even more precious than some innate spiritual roots.

Even if Gu Qing had an Innate Spirit Treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus would definitely still be useful to him.

"Yes, Master, quickly go and refine it, don't be long-winded."

He had the Nine-Colored Soul Lotus, which was many times more powerful than the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus; the two were simply not on the same level.

"I'm long-winded?" Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes widened.

She was ruthless and had killed countless people; she was a woman of few words. When had she ever been long-winded?

"Hurry, I really don't need it. If Master doesn't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

Hearing "give it to someone else," Zhi Meng no longer hesitated, but she still said that if Gu Qing ever needed it, he could ask her for it anytime.

"Master, take a drop of time marrow."

"Mmm!"

Zhi Meng used her divine ability to transplant the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus into her Purple Mansion Soul Sea.

Almost at the moment it took root, the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus recognized her as its master, erupting with endless divine soul dao rhythm that washed over her Purple Mansion.

This allowed Zhi Meng's divine soul to sublimate, and endless insights flooded her mind. Zhi Meng unhesitatingly took a drop of time marrow.

She immediately fell into an epiphany.

Zhi Meng's cultivation realm rapidly climbed at a visible speed.

Nine days passed in a flash, and Zhi Meng, in one go, broke through to the Heavenly God Realm.

The lightning tribulation arrived as scheduled.

It was the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning.

This was an innate lightning tribulation.

Only innate beings, or beings who transformed from postnatal to innate, would bring down the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning.

Gu Qing did not hesitate, bringing out the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower to help Zhi Meng overcome the tribulation.

Nine days passed in a flash, and Zhi Meng successfully completed her tribulation.

"Disciple!"

Zhi Meng looked at Gu Qing with her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, no words were enough to express the excitement in her heart.

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Heavenly God fruit position." Gu Qing immediately gave his Master a big hug.

After a long while, Zhi Meng softly asked, "Where do we go next?"

"Of course, we're going to find Long Jue. That scoundrel still harbors ill intentions towards Master, so we're going to steal his immortal ying flower."

"Good!"
