Chapter 453: 452
“Visualization, Divinity Transformation… actual operation is much more difficult than I imagined.” Li Nian’er was troubled. The six elders each had their own characteristics, but none of them suited her.
Jiang Li advised, “If you really can’t figure out what to transform into a deity, you can use Dragon Blood to bypass this step and directly achieve Divinity Transformation.”
Li Nian’er is half-human, half-dragon. When dragons breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage, they don’t worry about comprehension or such things. As long as the power contained in their blood is strong enough, and their ancestors powerful enough, they can achieve Divinity Transformation.
Li Nian’er can choose to achieve Divinity Transformation through comprehension or by using Dragon Blood, both options have no merits or shortcomings over the other.
“No, I want to achieve Divinity Transformation through comprehension.” Li Nian’er was very stubborn in some aspects.
Li Nian’er explained her reason, “The original dragon tribe was not born powerful, but through step by step cultivation and self-improvement, they eventually reached a stage where they could bless their descendants with their bloodline. If they can do it, so can I.”
Jiang Li said, “Legends tell us there were no cultivators at the very beginning, people were all ordinary and didn’t know how to utilize spiritual energy. Only after slowly exploring, people realized that one could become powerful through spiritual energy, which is Qi Cultivation.”
“The Qi Cultivation Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Golden Core Stage, and the Nascent Soul Stage were all pieced together from countless failures. There might have been other realms that emerged along the way, but none are as universally applicable as these few stages.”
Both were speaking of legends, because they were matters from the primeval era. To say nothing of ancient books passed down, even fragmented legends were sparse.
As for how much truth and untruth these fragmented legends contain, it’s simply impossible to know.
Jiang Li continued, “I do admire the cultivators who created the Divinity Transformation Stage, in the face of an unclear path, they could conceive the idea of transforming oneself into a deity, breaking through successfully from the Nascent Soul Stage, and naming this realm the Divinity Transformation Stage…”
While speaking, Jiang Li birthed a new idea.
Why not rename the “Mahayana Realm” as the “Divinity Transformation Stage” too?
He was the first and the only one to achieve the Mahayana Realm anyway, so he could name it whatever he wanted.
Jiang Li muttered in a voice that only he could hear clearly, “Now, rename the Mahayana Realm as the Divinity Transformation Stage.”
Jiang Li called up the system panel.
[Name: Jiang Li]
[Age: 528]
[Identity: Current Human Emperor]
[Cultivation: Divinity Transformation Stage]
“It actually worked.” Jiang Li was surprised, this shortcut worked.
[Congratulations to the host for reflecting on a thousand spirits and understanding that only your own power is the strongest, transforming yourself into a deity, and becoming Divinity Transformation Stage]
“What the heck is this?” Jiang Li saw the system’s non-sequitur congratulations again.
From the congratulations, it appeared that the system’s timeline version of him had made great progress in the Body-incorporating Sect and finally achieved Divinity Transformation.
[Claim the reward?]
“Wait a moment.”
Jiang Li noticed, while he was focusing on the system, Li Nian’er silently broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
That kid’s independence is too strong.
“What did you transform into becoming a deity?”
“Transforming the ‘Divinity Transformation Stage’ into a deity.”
Even with Jiang Li’s quick reaction time, it took him a moment to understand Li Nian’er’s meaning.
“Since the Divinity Transformation Stage requires transforming something into a deity, why can’t I transform the concept of the ‘Divinity Transformation Stage’ into a deity?”
Jiang Li thought that Li Nian’er’s line of thought was genuinely novel.
Li Nian’er rose into the air, gently stretching a palm towards the sky, clouds tens of thousands of meters away were dispersed, and the force of her palm was still strong enough to reach space.
This was absolutely not the power a cultivator in the early Divinity Transformation Stage should possess.
Li Nian’er too, was surprised by her own power, her strength upon breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage exceeded expectations.
Jiang Li also thought that Li Nian’er’s Divinity Transformation Stage was very powerful. Upon entering the Divinity Transformation Stage, she had the standard of mid to late stage Divinity Transformation.
Yet, Jiang Li didn’t give it much thought. Li Nian’er was highly talented and such performance was within reasonable expectations.
After all, his own performance when he first entered the Divinity Transformation Stage was even more exaggerated than Li Nian’er’s.
Jiang Li reckoned that Li Nian’er’s Divinity Transformation Stage reached about eighty percent of his own caliber.
The task was complete, Li Nian’er successfully became Divinity Transformation Stage, Jiang Li left the Body-incorporating Sect to chat with the system.
“First, change the realm name back.”
[Name: Jiang Li]
[Age: 528]
[Identity: Current Human Emperor]
[Cultivation: Mahayana Realm]
Jiang Li found this simple system rather easy to fool.
“Now, claim the reward.”
[Reward: Half of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’]
Jiang Li noticed that within his Storage Ring, the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’ given to him by Li Er was split into two by some unknown force, and the first half appeared in his hand.
The system’s reward of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’ just came from his Storage Ring.
And it was even torn in half!
If you have the guts, tear it page by page and reward it to me.
The system even has conscience, and reminded:
[You can spend 485,530 origin points to complete the latter half of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’]
The first half of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’ can only be considered as entry-level in cultivating the body, while the latter half is the advanced section, making it of considerable value.
Jiang Li’s blood pressure surged due to anger, he felt he will someday be infuriated to death by this broken system.
Am I counter-attacking others, or is this system counter-attacking me?
It tore my book in half to reward me, and even made me spend origin points to restore the book.
Jiang Li took out the latter half of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’ from his Storage Ring, and something miraculous happened; both halves merged into one, looking as if they were an intact whole.
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the complete version of the ‘Body Incorporating Scripture’]
“Heh.” Jiang Li didn’t feel like dealing with the system.
The system was still handing out rewards, three Blue Otherworld Flowers appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.
The Otherworld Flower is extremely precious, especially the Blue Otherworld Flower. If placed in an auction, the Blue Otherworld Flower could fetch a sky-high price of several thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones.
The Blue Otherworld Flower is one of the main ingredients for creating the “Underworld Poison Pill” that leads to the Underworld, which is incredibly precious. If Jiang Li were only in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he would have to expend considerable effort to obtain it.
But now Jiang Li is in the Mahayana Realm, he could easily pick it from the medicine storehouse of Alchemy Peak.
To produce the “Underworld Poison Pill”, he only lacks the main ingredient, the Soul Severing Water. Jiang Li thought that it should be part of the subsequent system rewards. The Blue Otherworld Flowers he received this time are proof.
The medicine storehouse at Alchemy Peak has several hundred Blue Otherworld Flowers.
Jiang Li also heard that Alchemy Peak was collaborating with the Spirit Plant Sect to see if they could artificially cultivate Blue Otherworld Flowers and mass produce them, if possible.
So far, their progress included Green Otherworld Flowers, Black Otherworld Flowers, Yellow Otherworld Flowers… But there was no sign of Blue Otherworld Flowers.
Jiang Li didn’t know more detailed information, this was something he’d learnt while chatting with Bai Hongtu.
An additional”Divinity Transformation Comprehension”, written by a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator, appeared in Jiang Li’s hand. Upon seeing the author’s name, it was Li Er.
“I have already read Li Er’s ‘Transcendence Tribulation Insight,’ why would I need your ‘Divinity Transformation Insight’?”
When Jiang Li lectured to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators on how to become the Mahayana Realm, he left homework for them to submit their Transcendence Tribulation insights for him to review.
One of them was from Li Er.
Jiang Li flipped through it, finding a few small errors in the ‘Divinity Transformation Insights’, but nothing major.
The system was as unreliable as ever.
