Winner claims the Dan!
Yet Ye Qing refrained from pulling out his sword.
After all, now that Yuan Qingque had risen up, the duty to safeguard the Nine Heavens Morality Sect fell to Ye Qing.
Besides, his youth brought another chance waiting in the wings.
This realization hit Yuan Zhen hard—the senior brother who showed no mercy to foes could actually hesitate like this. She couldn't accept it, since in the Tianhe Realm's harsh world, yielding ground meant your rivals pushed twice as far.
Letting go of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill now—what if some other senior elder came demanding it later?
To surge ahead boldly, you have to fight without pause, refusing to give even a bit!
That was Yuan Zhen's firm belief; her average talent had carried her to these heights only through toppling rivals, climbing rung by rung from the Yuan family and into the Sect.
So Yuan Zhen opposed Ye Qing's choice fiercely, as his yielding would also let down the Sect elders who had rooted for him so eagerly.
Once scattered, a spirit proves hard to reassemble.
With these thoughts swirling, Yuan Zhen looked over at Ye Qing, who sat by the Tongtian Refining Road Tower's doorway, Tai Peacekeeping Sword resting on his knees, all alone with no one close by.
Spotting Ye Qing's calm, shut-eyed face, Yuan Zhen grasped it in a flash.
This very trait in Ye Qing was why she held him in such high regard, viewing him as the target she strived toward.
If he acted as cutthroat as most cultivators out there, grabbing power by whatever dirty tricks, he wouldn't command the deep loyalty and admiration from so many in the Sect.
Such reflections pulled Yuan Zhen's mind to the Five Elements Sect Master from the Eastern Wilderness, all poise and refinement.
The two of them mirrored each other in nature—soft on the surface, fierce in pride inside, but sticking rigidly to their codes, outshining everyone in moral strength!
They clashed against this grimy, brutal realm.
Exactly because of that, they forged a bond as true friends.
True companions like that are rare gems in the world!
I wonder if he's managed to reach Divinity Transformation?
Right then, as Yuan Zhen pondered Chen Mobai, thunderclouds massed in the heavens, unleashing a blazing crimson solar thunder—like divine fury itself—packed with searing, ruinous force, slamming down hard right behind the Tongtian Refining Road Tower.
This spot boasted the richest spiritual energy across the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, though Ni Yuanzhong, wary of drawing Yuan Qingque's scolding, avoided the tower's peak and instead raised a simple wooden shelter at its rear.
Still, even the bare minimum here hit Sixth Rank Spiritual Energy, more than enough for attempting Divinity Transformation.
With his bottleneck already shattered, Ni Yuanzhong gazed up at the incoming heavenly tribulation thunder, his form blurring as he dashed beyond the grand formation to confront it head-on.
In the Holy Land, thanks to the mighty formation and Sixth Rank Treasure, cultivators always tested the tribulation solo first.
They only called for outside help if it truly overwhelmed them.
Amid the thunderous blasts, the crimson solar thunder plunged straight toward Ni Yuanzhong's crown. His features stayed steady, fingers weaving seals while he chanted spells; from his sleeves emerged the Heavy Yuan Sword, fluid as a stream, weaving into an enigmatic black sword glow hovering overhead.
The crimson solar thunder smashed into the Heavy Yuan Sword Radiance, unleashing a thunderclap that shook the ears.
The entire Tongtian Peak Mountain Range quaked faintly from the deity transformation tribulation, making Yuan Zhen and the rest at the base pale in shock.
Though the Sect's archives brimmed with tales of deity transformation tribulations, this marked their initial firsthand brush with it as Nascent Soul Cultivators. Even shielded by the formation, their Taoist Bodies trembled subtly, and for some with Legal Body Nascent Souls, faint illusions flickered into view.
Without a sound, Ye Qing's eyes snapped open, fixing on the raging heavenly tribulation up above.
As moments ticked by, the solar thunder intensified, bathing the whole Tongtian Peak Mountain Range in a bloody crimson hue. The ambient spiritual energy of nature whipped into frenzy too; even with every disciple in the Nine Heavens Morality Sect hunkered inside the formation, they sensed the spirit power in their Dantian Qi Sea churning wildly, slipping from their grasp.
By now, Ni Yuanzhong unleashed his Soul Dharma Aspect; a dark spectral glow surged from his skull, roaring like ocean swells, blending into the Heavy Yuan Sword to birth a colossal Black Tortoise that cloaked the mountain.
The Divinity Transformation tribulation peaked in fury at last, the crimson solar thunder exploding in blinding splendor, hurtling down with an earth-shattering boom.
Ni Yuanzhong vanished fully within the Mysterious Turtle Dharma Aspect, and as the endless tribulation thunder battered it, the aspect shifted from firm reality to ghostly haze—yet no matter the onslaught, it held firm, blocking every bolt from touching the mountain.
With time dragging on, the Mysterious Turtle Dharma Aspect sharpened through the heavenly tribulation's tempering, particularly the turtle's carapace where dark-green motifs emerged in sequence, as if channeling the ultimate laws of heaven and earth; it synced with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's Sixth Rank Great Array, dissolving the closing waves of tribulation thunder one after another.
Witnessing this, Ye Qing gave a subtle nod, certain the deity transformation tribulation was overcome.
As the final solar thunder faded away, the scarlet clouds overhead drifted apart, letting a beam of sunlight trickle back down.
In front of the Tongtian Refining Road Tower, the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect took in the sight, grins breaking across their faces despite themselves.
Whatever old grudges lingered, Ni Yuanzhong's triumph in Divinity Transformation wiped the slate clean for all.
