Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1145 490: Duan Shuang Breaks Through to Divinity Transformation (2)

However, as the heavenly tribulation continued, some observant cultivators gradually noticed an anomaly.

Not like the Sect Leader senior brother.

This discovery filled the hearts of the Earth Guard Hall cultivators with doubts.

Faced with this scene, Xu Ping was also well prepared.

He cleverly disguised some of the tribulation's outward breath with his formidable Divine Sense, while strengthening the barrier's isolation effect.

This made the Earth Guard Hall cultivators feel suspicious, as if reaching through fog to see flowers, sensing something amiss.

Yet, no one dared to approach for investigation or make other rash moves, only suppressing their bewilderment while watching from afar.

After the heavenly tribulation, the even more eerie Heart Demon Tribulation followed.

Invisible demonic thoughts infiltrated Duan Shuang's Sea of Consciousness, spawning illusions.

There was the hardship of training early in the sect, worries about Xu Ping's safety, fears of failing the Divinity Transformation, and various temptations along the path to immortality...

Nevertheless, Duan Shuang's Dao heart, tempered over centuries, remained unwavering.

She retained a point of clarity on her spiritual platform, using steadfast will to cut through the layers of illusions one by one.

In the end, the Heart Demon Tribulation dispersed!

Duan Shuang successfully passed the three stages of Divinity Transformation, and overcame the Heart Demon Tribulation, officially... achieving Divinity Transformation.

Rumble—

Heaven and Earth sensed it, descending sweet rain.

Pure and vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured down like the Milky Way, breaking through the tribulation clouds, completely engulfing Duan Shuang's figure.

She greedily absorbed this transformative power, stabilizing her newly formed nascent spirit, transforming her own Mana, replenishing the exhaustion from the tribulation, as her aura grew immensely vast and majestic at a visibly rapid pace!

She was utterly immersed in the sublimation of breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly.

Outside the hall.

Xu Ping, who had been closely monitoring everything within the hall with Divine Sense, only now slowly relaxed his tense mind.

His serene and calm face showed a smile of comfort and expectation at the corners of his mouth.

"Finally, it's done."

Xu Ping inwardly muttered, feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted.

Duan Shuang's successful Divinity Transformation bore significant meaning for him.

"In this way, my hope of breaking through to mid-stage Divinity Transformation will be greatly enhanced," his eyes shone with determination.

The path of Dual Cultivation, complements of yin and yang.

The feedback from dual cultivation with a same-level Divinity Transformation Dao partner is far superior to that of the Nascent Soul period, providing crucial support when he challenges the bottleneck of mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

"All of this lengthy investment and resources spent nurturing her, it all seems worthwhile now," Xu Ping thought to himself, believing it was all worth it.

However, unlike Xu Ping's relaxed satisfaction, those distant Earth Guard Hall cultivators, always watching the commotion here, found their doubts reaching a climax rather than being alleviated.

"This... this Divinity Transformation aura... is completely off!" exclaimed a late-stage Nascent Soul elder.

"This aura contains too much yin essence, completely different from the grand aura of the Sect Leader senior brother," confirmed another elder.

"Could it be... that the one breaking through wasn't the Sect Leader senior brother, but someone else?"

They sensed something unusual; this newly emerged Divinity Transformation aura was incongruent with their understanding of the Sect Leader senior brother.

"But that's impossible!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator refuted, "In the Guardian Earth Realm, no one has the ability to cultivate a new Divinity Transformation cultivator so quickly and quietly undergo a tribulation under our noses."

The crowd discussed fervently, uncertain and perplexed.

They were eager to understand precisely what had happened and who had broken through in that stone hall.

But now, the person within the stone hall had already achieved Divinity Transformation.

No matter what, they had no chance to resist.

Thus, they could only exchange glances, ultimately burying their heavy doubts and shock deep in their hearts, not daring to express a trace, much less dare to interfere.

They could only sense that newborn Divinity Transformation aura, entirely different from what they had known, firmly rooting itself within the Earth Guard Hall.

...

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and three months quietly slipped by.

On this day.

Inside the stone hall, the spiritual energy vortex slowly calmed.

Duan Shuang gently opened her eyes, with a divine light shining in her pupils.

She felt the vast and ocean-like power within her, entirely different, along with the greatly increased lifespan and deeper understanding of heaven and earth; she knew she had finally stepped into this long-awaited realm.

Centuries of arduous cultivation, countless hardships and waiting, had finally borne fruit at this moment.

She lifted her head immediately, her gaze piercing through the still lingering spiritual mist, accurately landing on the figure standing steadfast at the stone hall entrance, always like the needle that calms the sea for her.

Her beautiful eyes instantly overflowed with indescribable gratitude, relief, and an unbreakable deep affection.

"Xu Lang..."

She stood up, quickly walking to Xu Ping.

However, before Duan Shuang could say anything, Xu Ping smiled, interrupting:

"Shuang'Er, you and I are Dao partners united as one, sharing joys and sorrows. Assisting you in achieving Divinity Transformation is likewise assisting my own Dao path."

"Your success is the best repayment to me."

His gaze swept over Duan Shuang, sensing the stable and powerful newborn Divinity Transformation aura on her, nodding in satisfaction: "The foundation is solid, the aura pure. It seems this breakthrough has turned out even better than expected."

Upon hearing his words, warmth surged in Duan Shuang's heart, burying the deep gratitude inside, transforming it into an even firmer commitment to follow and support him along the long Dao path ahead.

Then, Xu Ping's expression slightly straightened, saying, "Now that the matter here is done, there is little left to linger for in the Guardian Earth Realm. It's time for us to leave."

Upon hearing this, Duan Shuang naturally had no objections, nodding obediently: "I rely on Xu Lang's arrangements."

She was well aware that although she had achieved Divinity Transformation and gained preliminary abilities to traverse the void, safely crossing realm barriers was essentially impossible.

However, with Xu Ping by her side, this clearly wasn't an issue.

Xu Ping spoke no further, his sleeve swirling, and the two quietly left the Earth Guard Hall.

They needed to find a place with slightly thinner space to return to the Wind Origin Realm.

...

Two months later.

Wind Origin Realm, on the edge of the Star Palace's territory.

Space slightly twisted, and Xu Ping and Duan Shuang's figures appeared out of thin air.

The moment Duan Shuang set foot on Wind Origin Realm's soil, she clearly felt as if an invisible shackle instantly encased her.

The realm's regulations created a subtle repulsion and suppression upon her, making her Mana operation not as smooth and free as within the Guardian Earth Realm, and the range of her Divine Sense perception was somewhat restricted.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly; this sense of constraint indeed felt uncomfortable after experiencing the unfettered power of Divinity Transformation.

"You felt it?"

Xu Ping looked at her, his tone calm, "In this realm, the earthly rules naturally suppress outsiders. This is the way of heavenly balance, no need to mind."

Upon hearing this, Duan Shuang quickly adapted, easing her brows and smiling relievedly: "Suppression is suppression, a little discomfort, it's easy to get accustomed to."

Seeing how quickly Duan Shuang adjusted her state of mind, Xu Ping nodded slightly.

The two ceased lingering, transforming into two inconspicuous Escape Lights, swiftly heading toward the Star Palace.

...

Star Palace, Xu Ping's abode.

Familiar Restriction brilliance flowed, isolating all external prying and clamor.

The room was filled with spiritual energy, the decorations the same as before, but the return of the two Divinity Transformation cultivators added an indescribable aura and Dao resonance.

Perhaps because of the recent breakthrough, the realm hadn't fully condensed inward, or due to long-awaited reunion, emotions were hard to suppress.

Duan Shuang shed her usual coolness, with breathtaking beauty carrying an alluring blush, her eyes shimmering with an astonishing allure naturally exuding from her gaze.

With an unparalleled appearance, Duan Shuang had just advanced to Divinity Transformation, her life level leapfrogging, her demeanor exuding more ethereal and mysterious charm.

The charm in her every move, enough to make any cultivator lacking resolve lose composure.

She gently leaned against Xu Ping, her jade fingers tracing faintly in his palm, her voice carrying a slightly sweet and hoarse tone: "Xu Lang..."

Though Xu Ping's Dao heart was rock-solid, facing his Dao partner's sincere and heartfelt initiative, tenderness filled his heart.

He reached out to embrace Duan Shuang's slender and resilient waist.
