Chapter 729: Chapter 676: Physical Changes

Cloud-Breaking Charge traversed mountains and ridges, distancing from the Quicksand Domain, gradually approaching the Extraordinary People Country.

Yun Shang held the Manipulation Jade Talisman, sitting by the window to guide the direction, while Jiang Yuebai remained seated in the Spirit Gathering Array, eyes closed in meditation, not waking for more than ten days.

At this moment, Jiang Yuebai’s mind was wholly immersed in her own Sea of Consciousness, visualizing the Tai Chi Totem formed by the fusion of Taiyin Tenuous Light and Sun Candlelight.

Because of her sudden enlightenment on Tai Chi, the two totems merged into one, and even Jiang Yuebai couldn’t exactly explain her insight, the fusion of Taiyin and Sun was natural.

Only now does she somewhat understand, when she asked Uncle Mo Ping for advice back then, he spoke of an elusive feeling, only comprehensible without words.

Indeed, it’s difficult to articulate, just suddenly having a moment of clarity regarding the relationship between Tai Chi, Two Elements, Four Symbols, and Eight Diagrams.

In the Sea of Consciousness, her tiny Divine Infant sat cross-legged above the slowly rotating Tai Chi Totem, Embrace the Origin and Guard the One, with continuous flashes of black and white arcs across its body.

The totem absorbed the Yin Yang Power from the heavens and earth, refining it into purer Taiyin and Sun Power, ultimately absorbed by the Divine Infant, nourishing the entire Divine Soul.

The once somewhat transparent Divine Infant became more solid and harmonious with heaven and earth, easily commanding the Yin Yang Power with a simple gesture.

Additionally, she gained the capability to spontaneously generate Yin Yang Double Thunder, whereas previously Jiang Yuebai had to rely on "Five Thunders Righteous Method" to merge into Yin Yang Thunder.

This counts as Acquired Yin Yang Double Thunder, far less potent than the current Innate Yin Yang Double Thunder.

These are beyond the capabilities of the Nascent Soul Stage, at the Divinity Transformation Stage level, laying the best foundation for her future Divinity Transformation due to the higher Taiyin and Sun Power.

Moreover, her Divine Soul Power previously did not match her Chaos Body, akin to a child trying to control a giant’s body, unable to balance many things.

Later, although she acquired the "Observing Yin Yang Method," accumulating to bridge the gap still required time; according to Jiang Yuebai’s initial estimation, it would take at least thirty to fifty years to achieve soul-body harmony by the Peak Nascent Soul.

However, due to this event, her Divine Soul and Divine Infant thrived; during her resistance against the Thunder Spirit’s lightning, she even swallowed a lot of lake water, now mostly stored in her spine and the Lotus Platform Small World.

Once she fully digests and integrates everything, her soul-body balance can be achieved within ten years, greatly boosting her Cultivation, steadily approaching the Late-Stage Nascent Soul.

Jiang Yuebai warned herself that such hasty growth could lead to an unstable foundation, risking collapse for little gain.

But... the feeling of wild devouring and absorbing is truly exhilarating!

This reminded Jiang Yuebai of the murals she saw in the Kunxi Divine Palace’s Dragon Clan passage, concerning the Chaos Devouring Heaven Python.

She increasingly suspected that her spine fused with the Dragon Bone was not of the Nine-Headed Xiangliu, but rather the Chaos Devouring Heaven Python.

"Heavenly Dao, see clearly, I accept devouring heaven and earth, but I don’t spread chaos in the Three Realms; I will bring peace to the Cultivation Realm, not calamity. I am just a bit greedy, but inherently a righteous person."

Jiang Yuebai silently chanted, fearing that when she undergoes Divinity Transformation, the Heavenly Dao might confront her with fiercer Tribulation Thunder.

The Peak Nascent Soul brought the strongest Purple Sky Divine Thunder; what will Divinity Transformation entail?

After spending some effort repairing the cracks in her spine, Jiang Yuebai prepared herself mentally before projecting her Divine Thought into the Lotus Platform Small World to see how it had been ruined this time.

Upon entry, she saw dark clouds covering the sky, lightning and thunder, torrential rain, the once calm blue waves enraged and darkened, the tumultuous waves like ten thousand horses racing, rivaling the thunderous roars.

A great wave almost knocked Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Thought avatar from the air; she dodged, just as a thunderous crash sounded above, a powerful lightning bolt struck directly in front of her, piercing an island below.

The howling winds sounded like ghosts wailing; such a scene sent shivers down Jiang Yuebai’s spine.

The Lotus Platform Small World had become another Thunder Marsh, where all descending were Yin Yang Double Thunder, and the surging seawater beneath contained much Thunder Power. ℯ

But it... seemed fine.

Barring some harsh weather and most islands being submerged, Jiang Yuebai found her vital large islands intact, like those housing Thorn and the Black Armor Bee Swarm, and the island where Blood Jade Meat Mushroom was cultivated, protected by her preset Great Array, largely unscathed.

Further fortification will solve most problems.

Once she transforms the residual power into Chaos Qi and absorbs it, the Lotus Platform Small World can return to tranquility.

Jiang Yuebai appeared on the main island; it was manageable.

On the main island, her Great Array centered around the Old Rong Tree, whose canopy extended nearly everywhere on the island, shielding beneath from damage.

Only the Old Rong Tree’s canopy was struck barren in patches by lightning, smoking and scorched black, appearing tragic.

All creatures on the island sheltered under the tree, somewhat startled.

"True Monarch, oh True Monarch, you’re finally back! Allow me to stay by your side to attend to you; this place is too dangerous~~"

Yann Hongyu, tearful-eyed, ran toward Jiang Yuebai; as a Ghost Cultivator, she feared thunder, especially Yang Thunder Jian Palace, to death!

Jiang Yuebai surveyed the surroundings; truly, such an environment was unsuitable for ghosts.

"Alright, you and Long-Haired Water Ghost can go into the Little Green Lantern, Little Green, you should be able to shrink now, right? Transform into a pendant for me to wear at my waist."

[Yes, yes, yes]

Little Green floated over, absorbing Yann Hongyu and Long-Haired Water Ghost, its lantern flashed, transforming into a palm-sized lantern pendant, lush green and very beautiful.

It flew to Jiang Yuebai’s waist, pushing aside the Golden Cicada Pendant used for holding Spiritual Beast, secured in the best spot, tying a knot tightly!

Meanwhile, Lieque was prancing around, and Jixiang collected thunder, while other Spiritual Beasts remained within Old Rong Tree’s coverage to avoid being affected.

"Where’s Hongye?" Jiang Yuebai looked around but couldn’t see Hongye and the two Fat Grass Dragons.

The waist Little Green Pendant shook, and Yann Hongyu extended a hand from it.

"Over there! True Monarch, don’t say I told you!"

Jiang Yuebai squinted her eyes, silently concealing her presence as she approached, sensing from afar Hongye with two Fat Grass Dragons hiding in the small forest.

Outside the forest lay the corpses of Wu Lie and Sha Tongtian, their Storage Magic Treasures intact, but their Nascent Souls missing.

Entering the forest, Jiang Yuebai saw Hongye lovingly watching two Fat Grass Dragons licking their mouths, shortly after each Dragon spat out two fist-sized, moon-white Dragon Balls.

The twin dragons played with the balls, circling Hongye gleefully.

"Where did the Dragon Balls come from?"

Jiang Yuebai suddenly spoke; Hongye was shocked, snatching the two Fat Grass Dragons from the air and hiding them beneath its massive body, turning to Jiang Yuebai with an innocent look.

It hid quickly, but a Dragon Ball rolled into nearby grass; one of the Fat Grass Dragons reached out for it from beneath Hongye.

Dragon Balls, like the Kunpeng Eye, although level does not reach Kunpeng Eye’s, they are also formed by the Dragon Clan gathering their Essence Blood into a sphere.

Usually, it is the dying dragon depleting its Cultivation, condensing a Dragon Ball to pass on to the next generation for rapid growth.

Seeing the situation exposed, Hongye whined, placing its large dragon head before Jiang Yuebai, protecting the two Fat Grass Dragons, with dragon whiskers drooping meekly, ready for punishment but pleading its children’s innocence.

In nature, weak are eaten by strong; humans are but consumable creatures to dragons. In the Green Dragon Realm, the Dragon Clan frequently eats humans, devouring Nascent Souls.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t mind, patting Hongye’s nose.

"Alright, I won’t eat humans or dragons. The Nascent Souls were meant for them anyway. I can’t use Dragon Balls, but since there are Dragon Balls, cultivate well for me. If I catch you lazing around again, I’ll strip your skins!"

She raised her hand, absorbing the ragged Green Skin Drum found beside the corpses, "See, its drum surface is torn, needing material to repair."

The drum was discovered in a crevice at the lake’s bottom, worn and useless, awaiting further research.

"You all play."

Jiang Yuebai left the forest, taking the Storage Magic Treasures from the two corpses; Sha Tongtian’s vestment robe was decent, but too filthy for her to bother removing, so she reduced them to ashes, scattering them into the sea.

She then exited the Lotus Platform Small World to join Yun Shang for divvying the spoils...no, examining the gains!
