Chapter 139: Breakthrough, Divine Transformation Great Perfection, Entering the Holy City Again

【You cultivated day and night without rest, never pausing for even a moment. In the tenth year of this simulation, your cultivation broke through!】

【Your late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivation finally broke through to the Spirit Transformation Consummation realm!】

【Breaking through to the Return-to-Void realm was now merely a matter of a single thought.】

【You calculated with your fingers and knew that today was the Martial Sect’s second recruitment assembly. This time, you did not appear personally, instead leaving it to Xiao Long to handle.】

【“As the Sect Master, how can I personally handle every matter?” You found yourself a fine excuse to slack off.】

【“Sect Master, disciple Ye Fan requests an audience!” A voice came from outside the door.】

【“What is it?” You emerged from seclusion and looked at Ye Fan kneeling on the ground, and the corpse lying beside him. Frowning, you asked.】

【“Reporting to the Sect Master, our Martial Sect disciples went down the mountain for training. Ten went missing, and one was brutally killed!”】

【“I beg the Sect Master to seek justice for us!”】

【You were silent for a long time, then finally said, “Do you know who did it?”】

【“It was the Rhinoceros Sect’s Golden Core True Person, Lance!” Ye Fan said, his face full of rage.】

【You snapped your fingers. A Spirit Transformation puppet appeared. You glanced at Ye Fan and said, “Take him. This matter is yours to resolve.”】

【“This…” Ye Fan hesitated. After all, he had only cultivated for ten years and had never experienced such a thing. He did not know how to handle it.】

【“Do as you wish! Relax, the sect has your back!”】

【“Disciple obeys!” Ye Fan gritted his teeth and agreed, then left with the corpse and the Spirit Transformation puppet.】

【“The Rhinoceros Sect, huh? Heh!” You did not know much about this sect, only that it was the number one sect below the Five Great Sects.】

【You did not take this matter to heart. How could there be training without deaths? A single Spirit Transformation puppet was enough to let Ye Fan walk sideways through the Northern Region!】

【“Master, this is the list of disciples recruited this time, two thousand in total.” Xiao Long, who was in charge of recruitment, returned and reported to you.】

【You casually flipped through a few pages, and finally your gaze stopped on a name: Xiao Yan.】

【“Young master of the Xiao family of Wutan City, Xiao Yan!”】

【“A former twenty-year-old Golden Core True Person whose cultivation regressed overnight to the third layer of Qi Refining?”】

【“And recently had his engagement broken off by his fiancée?”】

【“Heh heh, interesting. How interesting!” You laughed. You had developed some interest in this disciple named Xiao Yan.】

【“Secretly observe this disciple named Xiao Yan. Do not interfere.”】

【“Yes.”】

【“I leave the sect to you for these days. I have matters to attend to and need to make a trip out.” Before leaving, you instructed Xiao Long. With several Spirit Transformation puppets guarding the sect, you were very at ease about the sect’s safety.】

【Your Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivation was fully released, and in the blink of an eye, you vanished.】

【In the Northern Region of the Heaven Mystery Continent, the Holy City. You appeared here.】

【“If I remember correctly, there is a chessboard inside that can be used to sense the power of the laws of heaven and earth!”】

【This was something you knew from your previous life’s simulation. That chessboard had been taken by Xiang Wanqing, and you had only obtained the Chess Sage’s inheritance.】

【Thinking back, it was within that chessboard that you had sensed what it felt like to play a game against heaven and earth, and thereby comprehended numerous laws of heaven and earth.】

【If you wanted to grasp more laws of heaven and earth in a short time, this chessboard was of the utmost importance!】

【You waited outside the Holy City for a full month. When the power of rules within the Holy City weakened slightly, you slipped inside.】

【“Long time no see, Holy City!” You sensed the aura within the Holy City. The Human Sovereign Banner appeared in your hand, and wherever it passed, all Remnant Souls were drawn into it!】

【Although your cultivation was suppressed, for someone who could already preliminarily grasp a trace of the Law of Lightning, Spirit Transformation Remnant Souls were easily destroyed with a wave of the hand!】

【It took you only three days to gather all the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation Remnant Souls within the entire Holy City into the Human Sovereign Banner.】

【Your Human Sovereign Banner was strengthened once again. However, since a Heaven-Rank Artifact was a qualitative transformation, it was still not enough to advance.】

【You arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, openly pushed the door open, and soon came to the small courtyard from back then.】

【“Come out. I have already discovered you!” You stared at the empty courtyard and spoke in a low voice.】

【“Heh heh heh!” A strange cry came, and a man in blue robes appeared, wearing a bizarre smile toward you.】

【“What are you laughing at, idiot!” You directly hurled a bolt of the Law of Lightning at him, exploding on the man in blue robes.】

【The smile on the man’s face vanished instantly, replaced by fury!】

【“You’re courting death!!!” The man in blue robes opened his bloody maw and roared at you.】

【“Just a Remnant Soul sealed for ten thousand years. What are you so arrogant about?” You shook the Human Sovereign Banner in your hand with some disdain and threatened him.】

【“If you dare be arrogant again, believe it or not, I’ll seal you inside!” As a banner specifically for collecting Remnant Souls, it still posed some threat to the man in blue robes.】

【The man in blue robes’ expression shifted uncertainly. After sizing you up for a moment, he finally asked, “You know me?”】

【“I don’t, but I have heard of you. Nothing more than a pitiful man sealed for ten thousand years.” You shook your head and sighed.】

【“How about a deal?” The man in blue robes spoke.】

【You shook your head, indicating refusal. “I have no interest in you.”】

【“I can help you become an immortal!!!” The man in blue robes tempted.】

【You let out a scoff and shook your head again. “The passage to ascend to the Immortal Realm has long since closed. No one in this world can become an immortal anymore!”】

【“You! Just who are you! How could a junior at the Spirit Transformation stage like you know of such things???” The man in blue robes was shocked, his eyes wide open.】

【“Want to know? Come out and I’ll tell you. How about it?” You coaxed patiently.】

【“Do you really think I cannot come out?” The man in blue robes felt he was being looked down upon, and immediately walked toward the door.】

【A cold, dark aura spread out, making you feel a trace of threat. On the surface you remained utterly unconcerned, but in truth you had already begun to guard yourself.】

【That shouldn’t be. In the previous life it couldn’t come out. There’s no reason it could come out this life.】

【“Chichichi!” The man in blue robes placed one foot on the door frame, emitting waves of black qi.】

【As soon as his foot touched the ground, the man in blue robes let out a miserable scream and immediately pulled it back.】

【“Tsk, you can’t even come out. Even when given a chance, you’re useless!” Sensing the cold, dark aura vanish, you shook your head and sighed for the man in blue robes.】

【“Boy, I will remember you!!!” The man in blue robes’ figure gradually faded away.】

【“Phew, finally over!” The reason you had wasted so much time talking nonsense with the man in blue robes was to make him leave sooner, so you could go in and take the item.】
