Chapter 91: Three Approaching Divinity Stages

The gleam in the middle-aged man’s eyes grew brighter. “I was just joking earlier, but if these storage pouches were all collected by you alone in the Mirror Ocean, the top 100 shouldn’t be hard for you!” he said.

Xu DIsheng just tossed the record jade slip back to him and said, “I’ll take that Magic Treasure, the Yin Yang Diagram.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “You have good eyes! The offensive power of this Yin Yang Diagram is only slightly lower than that of top-grade Magic Treasures. It costs 2,000 spirit stones. You’ll still need to pay 310 spirit stones in taxes, but…” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Since you’re being this magnanimous, it would be too stingy of my Spirit Karma House to fuss over every inch. We can do away with 100 spirit stones, so you’ll only need to pay 210 spirit stones in taxes.”

Xu Disheng turned and said to Bai Zhehua, “Senior Martial Brother Bai, could I borrow 100 spirit stones for now? I only have a little over 100 spirit stones on me right now.”

The moment Bai Zhehua heard that Xu Disheng wanted to buy a Magic Treasure worth 2,000 spirit stones, he was even more stunned. The teacup in his hand had been frozen in place for a while now. After a moment, he came back to his senses and replied hurriedly, “Ah, what? You’re short on spirit stones? How much do you need?”

“100 spirit stones,” the middle-aged man replied with a smile.

“Junior Martial Brother Xu, don’t worry about borrowing it. Just take them,” Bai Zhehua said.

“Thanks, Senior Martial Brother Bai,” Xu Disheng said lightly, taking the spirit stones that Bai Zhehua handed over to him and placed them into the storage pouch, where there were already over 100 spirit stones. He tossed the storage pouch over to the middle-aged man, who received it and walked down from his seat of honor, going back to the rear hall personally.

The Yin Yang Diagram! It was worth 2,000 spirit stones, and was even more expensive than the Chunjun Sword, which had been on display in the Yunxia Pavilion on Canxia Peak.

After a while, the middle-aged man came back out of the rear hall with a black and white orb of light floating above his palm. He tossed it over to Xu Disheng and said, “If it’s for your own use, you can refine it right now and imprint yourself as its master. This Magic Treasure has many wonderful functions, so you can take your time to explore its uses.”

After refining the Magic Treasure and imprinting oneself as its master, it could be taken back into the sea of consciousness at any time. Unless the master died and the bond was released, it would be impossible for anyone to steal the Magic Treasure.

Magic Treasures were a type of Magic Tool that only Divine Core stage Spirit Masters could refine. Most of them had many wonderful uses related to offense, defense, storage, flying, suppression, and so on. Less common were Magic Treasures that were primarily focused on one function, much like the Glorious Sun Bow that Xu Disheng had. Aside from offensive power, it had no other functions.

Of course, that was also because the Glorious Sun Bow was just an ordinary Magic Treasure.

The Yin Yang Diagram could be called an offensive-type, and it was just a smidgeon away from being a top-grade Magic Treasure, making it stronger than the Glorious Sun Bow by quite a bit.

On the other hand, top-grade Magic Treasures were easily over 3,000 spirit stones. They also had no set market price, since there weren’t multiple stocks of it in each marketplace like there were for ordinary Magic Treasures. Also, Divine Core stage Spirit Masters had no way of refining top-grade Magic Treasures. Only the almighty divine powers that could cross the three realms could refine them.

The interdimensional space inside of the Yin Yang Diagram was extremely large. After Xu Disheng refined the Yin Yang Diagram, he took out all of the remaining contents of his storage pouches and dumped them into the interdimensional space.

When the two of them left the Spirit Karma House, Bai Zhehua turned around. “Junior Martial Brother Xu…”

The moment he said that, the sound of a massive drum rang out from the skies!

Gong!

The people of the marketplace all looked up at the sky, looking for the source of the sound.

Gong!!

The second strike!

It wasn’t just in Passing Sin Peak. The entire Mingxin Mountain Range, and even the whole Shangqing Sacred Sect.

The entirety of the Shan Mountain in the eastern territory of the Human Realm and all of the people in the vast infinitude of the Human Realm heard the sounds of those two drum sounds coming from the heavens!

Gong!!!

The third strike!

The sounds of heaven rang out, causing all living things to kneel.

In the Mingxin Mountain Range, the Spirit Masters, who were still on top of the giant turtle on their chariots, raised their heads and looked towards the skies. Above the skies of Mingxin Peak, the floating palace of the two Mountain Masters began to emit terrifying fluctuations of aura.

“Heed the decree of the House of the Earth God from the Heavenly Court! All beings of the Human Realm at the Divine Sea stage, thou shalt immediately proceed towards the peak of Buzhou Mountain for ordination and the conferral of thy Divine Rank!”

The big, imposing voice spread widely throughout the entire Human Realm. As long as they had even a shred of profound qi cultivation on their body, no matter if they were human, demons, ghosts, devils, or monsters, they all heard the words loud and clear!

“The House of the Earth God…” Feng Simiao, the Severing Meridian Spirit Master muttered, his expression complex as he gazed towards skies in the horizon.

“Severing Meridian Spirit Master, the Sacred Sect… doesn’t have any existences at the Divine Sea Realm, right?” Yu Xingchao, the Killing Heart Master asked, his expression calm as he stood at Feng Simiao’s side.

“Right, in the last several tens of thousands of years, the House of the Earth God has only held one ordination. The only Divine Sea stage elder in the Sacred Sect at the time was appointed as a Rank 5 Heavenly General and left for the Heavenly Court.”

When the heavenly sounds gradually faded, the Human Realm was in an uproar.

“Senior Martial Brother Bai…” Xu Disheng started, his gaze calm.

“Don’t bother asking. Even I don’t know what that was. I’ve never heard of the ‘Divine Sea stage’ or the ‘House of the Earth God’,” Bai Zhehua said with a bitter smile. “Let’s go back now. This matter shouldn’t have anything to do with us.”

“No, I was just going to say that you spilled your tea on your clothes,” Xu Disheng said, his voice just as calm as before.

“Ah, what?” Bai Zhehua hurriedly looked down. Someone like him who normally maintained such an elegant demeanor couldn’t let something like that happen.

He looked down and saw his clothes, still clean and unsoiled. Only then did Bai Zhehua remember that his Daoist Robe was imbued with the effect of the Clothes Cleansing Technique. How could he have gotten tea on it? In the last half a day, he had gone through so many surprises that he even forgot about that somehow.

“You!”

Xu Disheng walked on ahead, a hint of a smile flashing across his face.

… …

“Severing Meridian Spirit Master, may I ask what the Divine Sea stage is exactly? Why do we not know about it, and have never even heard of it?” the Tranquil Cypress Spirit Master asked after respectfully saluting to him. The Spirit Masters were still on their chariots atop the giant floating turtle.

She had only ascended to the Divine Core stage in the last 1,000 years. Hearing her question, the other Spirit Masters all looked towards the Severing Meridian Spirit Master.

Feng Simiao flicked his sleeves and said, “Have you heard of the three Approaching Divinity stages?”

“I have only heard of the Primordial Spirit stage and the Spirit Avatar stage. Could it be that the three Approaching Divinity stages are what make up the Divine Sea stage?” the Tranquil Cypress Spirit Master responded.

“Not bad, that’s right. The first of the three Approaching Divinity stages is the Primordial Spirit stage, which I don’t need to explain further about. The second stage is the Spirit Avatar stage, which you all might know of to some extent. In this stage, one can command the power of creation of heaven and earth to split the primordial spirit and make clones from each strand, increasing one’s power by many times. At the peak of the Spirit Avatar stage, it is possible to split the Primordial Spirit into 9 clones, allowing one to destroy the mountains with the snap of one’s fingers,” Feng Simiao explained.

There was a hint of longing in Feng Simiao’s tone as he spoke, “Then at the Divine Sea stage…” He waved his sleeves, causing countless motes of light to appear in front of the Spirit Masters’ eyes before continuing, “Every single one of these motes of light is an avatar. The Primordial Spirit becomes like the sea as the avatars proliferate widely amongst the world, turning one into an eternal existence that knows all under heaven.”

“Every several tens of thousands of years, the House of the Earth God in the Heavenly Court will hold an ordination for the beings of the Human Realm to record their Divine Rank, after which they will never return to this realm,” Feng Simiao said, finishing his explanation.

“Thank you for clearing things up, Severing Meridian Spirit Master,” Tranquil Cypress Spirit Master said, bowing again.

“No problem. In the tournament in the next few days, I’ll have to leave it to you all. The Mountain Master just passed down an order, so I need to head for the Mountain Master’s Domain,” Feng Simiao said.

“Please go on ahead then,” the Spirit Masters said in succession.

With a light wave of his sleeves, a six-petaled lotus appeared underneath Feng Simiao’s feet. He flew away from the chariots atop the giant turtle, heading for the floating palace atop the skies above Mingxin Peak.
