From Celestial Official to Great Celestial Venerable

Chapter 76 Advanced Spells
Qin Chuan felt the Lesser Completion Transformation Technique flowing freely within his body; with just a slight thought, his appearance could change at will.

"What an amazing method of transformation."

He raised his hand to examine it, and the skin on his palm trembled slightly. It was as if the skin and flesh were beginning to change at the microscopic level, showing signs of aging or delicacy. With each breath, the different textures of men, women, the elderly, and children were transformed.

"The Thunder Emperor's true form must be even more profound in its transformation techniques, otherwise how could it have infiltrated the Creation Ship and even deceived the inspections of the Eastern Victory and Perfect Realms?"

Qin Chuan thought to himself, "I only got half a face, but I was able to inherit the Lesser Completion Realm. I'm really lucky."

His gaze shifted to the remaining three pieces of the corpse.

Although the essence and lineage have been almost completely extracted, these fragments still contain immense spiritual energy.

Qin Chuan had no interest in studying the unorthodox weapon-forging techniques for the time being. He thought to himself: Once this matter is settled, I'll bring it back to Dongsheng to use as fertilizer, which would be a second use.

Human corpses are the best fertilizer. The places where people are buried after death usually produce more thriving crops and plants than other places. The fertilizer for a person in the Nascent Soul stage is even more remarkable.

I pulled back my jumbled thoughts.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's attention was entirely focused on the more than 10,000 points of Dharma essence on the panel.

"It's time for a comprehensive advancement in spells."

He first tentatively infused the initial "Yi Wood Azure Sky Technique" with four hundred Dharma essences—this was already close to the consumption of the Golden Treasure Bottle Seal Technique at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

hum!
The four hundred points of Dharma essence within the Heavenly Essence Furnace shattered instantly.

Suddenly, the true energy of the Yi Wood element grew wildly, like spring vines encountering rain.

[The Yi Wood Azure Sky Technique has broken through to the eighth level!]

He reached the level of his teacher Huo Yuanjue's Yi Wood True Qi, while Huo Yuanjue's Yi Wood Azure Sky Technique had only been deduced to the eighth level.

But this is just the beginning.

Breaking through the eighth level only consumed a little over a hundred points of magical energy, with the remaining two hundred points continuing to propel the cultivation technique forward.

[The Yi Wood Azure Sky Technique has broken through to the ninth level!]

At this point, this technique has reached the pinnacle that can be deduced during the Qi Refining stage.

Although Teacher Huo is exceptionally talented in healing with spiritual plants, it is already the limit of human ability to push the spell to the eighth level at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

After all, creating one's own cultivation method is inherently difficult. It is possible to create a Qi cultivation method during the Foundation Establishment stage, but to create a Foundation Establishment cultivation method suitable for oneself out of thin air requires going through hundreds or thousands of trials and errors.

However, Qin Chuan, with just a thought, obtained the fruits of decades of effort from his predecessors and innovated upon them, bringing the ninth level of the Yi Mu Qing Tian Jue to the world.

"If four hundred Dharma essences can push the seventh level of the Five Elements Technique to the ninth level..."

Qin Chuan's spirits lifted, and he made a decision:

"Since that's the case, let's upgrade the remaining three Five Elements Techniques all at once!"

With countless points of magical power in his hands, he was now full of confidence and felt incredibly powerful.

In an instant, another 1,200 Dharma teachings shattered.

[Burning Wood and Separating Fire Technique has broken through to the eighth level!] [Burning Wood and Separating Fire Technique has broken through to the ninth level!]

[Flowing Dragon Flowing River Technique breaks through to the eighth level!] [Flowing Dragon Flowing River Technique breaks through to the ninth level!]

[The Earth Emperor's Mountain-Crushing Cannon has broken through to the eighth level!] [The Earth Emperor's Mountain-Crushing Cannon has broken through to the ninth level!]

True Qi surged within the five internal organs, and the five techniques of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all reached the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's Dao foundation has undergone a fundamental transformation, meeting the basic requirements before the Foundation Establishment stage. He only needs to accumulate enough spiritual energy to break through the realm and enter the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He did not stop.

While it's inconvenient to openly use Yunwu Tea within the Honglu Temple, the spiritual energy here can be fully absorbed.

The spiritual energy I gained from the previous seven days of cultivation surpassed that of my months of hard work in the spiritual fields of Jiuchuan County—the spiritual vein of the capital city of the number one realm in the heavens truly lived up to its reputation. Therefore, I must work even harder to extract more spiritual energy.

"There are still nine thousand Dharma Essences left. How should we allocate them?"

His divine sense swept over the various techniques he had cultivated: the "Thirteen Transformations of the Divine Shock" that he had been cultivating since entering the Dao was related to the very foundation of his divine sense; the newly acquired "Spatial Teleportation Talisman", "Return to the Void Divine Cave", and "Method of Transformation" each possessed profound mysteries.

"The fifth level, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Power, judging from the progress, requires about five hundred Dharma Essences. I wonder how many the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels will require?"

After all, the improvement in his spiritual sense is linked to the exponential growth of his cultivation level, and the demand for Dharma essence is not a fixed requirement. "Let's test the waters with three thousand units of Dharma essence."

With nine thousand in hand, Qin Chuan decided to invest heavily in this spiritual energy cultivation technique, which could help him absorb spiritual energy quickly. This would allow him to rapidly cultivate and absorb spiritual energy.

Click, click, click!

He poured in three thousand Dharma essences in one breath.

Qin Chuan felt that his divine sense was like a stream, gradually becoming thicker and stronger, with new living water constantly being poured in from its source, making the stream stronger.

[Having consumed eight hundred units of magical energy, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Astonishment have broken through to the fifth level!]

[Having consumed two thousand units of magical energy, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Astoundment have broken through to the sixth level!]

[Consuming two hundred mana points...]

The infusion of three thousand Dharma essences only allowed the Thirteen Transformations of the Divine Shock to break through two levels, but the increase in Qin Chuan's divine sense was exponential.

Equivalent to six times the divine sense of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, he unconsciously extended his divine sense beyond the Honglu Temple, seeing a range of dozens of miles along the main street of Perfect Shengjing.

With just a cursory sweep of his divine sense, he saw the reactions of Perfect Cultivators and ordinary people after Perfect City was attacked by the mythical forces in the past few days.

On the streets, many people held up flags and shouted slogans such as "Plow the court and sweep away the cave" and "Destroy the myth".

Some dark-skinned barbarians even shouted that the current Perfect God-King Wanluo was incompetent, and that such a shameful thing had never happened when other Perfect God-Kings were in power.

Mythology, a bunch of things that should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago, actually dared to attack Shengjing, the capital of their Great Perfect Divine Court.

They even stole the remnant soul of the 'barbarian god,' the faith of their barbarian people.

What a shame!
What a shame!

The current God-King Wanluo must resign to take responsibility, and be replaced by a certain Holy Lord of a certain Daozhou.

The divine sense was withdrawn.

Qin Chuan then looked at the 'Mystic Mirror' in his room. Even a small cave dwelling like his was equipped with a Mystic Mirror.

As soon as he opened it, he saw a figure in the Xuan Guang Mirror with deep eyes, a tall and imposing figure, and broad shoulders. With every move, it seemed as if he carried the entire starry sky on his back. He was solemnly responding to the events of the past few days by recording the messages in the various provincial gazetteers of all the Perfect Sects.

God King Wanluo, born in the famous holy land of the Luo Clan in Perfect World, was only six hundred years old when he defeated a group of opponents in the God King War in the Four Nine Provinces. In the end, he succeeded as the thirtieth God King of Perfect World with an overwhelming advantage.

The Xuan Guang Mirror displayed the top-tier news from 'Zizaitian' in the perfect world. After reporting the God King's remarks, it switched to reporting other subsequent reactions to the event.

Just like the scenes Qin Chuan was seeing on the street outside with his divine sense, except that some places were even more chaotic and terrifying than this.

In some scenes, large numbers of barbarians wielding flying swords storm into various inns, elixir shops, and spirit material shops, looting them indiscriminately.

There were even scenes of murder and robbery in the street.

"It's truly a beautiful sight. This is the perfect world, the cruel cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak."

Qin Chuan watched the scenes unfold in the Xuan Guang Mirror: murder and robbery, breaking and robbing, street duels. Many cultivators from Perfect World were used to it, and sometimes even participated, taking advantage of the chaos to blend in with the crowd.

After all, this land has maintained its unique characteristics of survival of the strong and free cultivation since 30,000 years ago.

I saw a child on the street who was suddenly pierced through the chest by a flying sword and died on the spot.

The surrounding cultivators, however, took it all in stride, as if they had long been accustomed to the survival logic of this perfect cultivation world.

Qin Chuan remained silent.

Fortunately, this was the Honglu Temple, protected by the military might of the Eastern Heavenly Court and the divine guards of the Perfect Divine Court. No matter how turbulent the outside world was, it could not affect the interior of the Honglu Temple.

But just as Qin Chuan was observing the situation outside...

Yuan Siyao knocked on his door and said softly:

"Qin Chuan, the immortal from the Honglu Temple told us that he has been invited to the Holy Temple to receive an audience with the Perfect God King."

Qin Chuan was taken aback: "You and I, mere cultivators... how could we possibly get an audience with the Heavenly God King?"

Yuan Siyao's tone was somber: "Because we are survivors of the Ark of Creation, and we have fought against mythology. Now the Perfect Divine Court wants to set us up as an example to promote our legitimacy."
