There ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was no heavenly tribulation, not even the slightest abnormal fluctuation leaking outward.

The effect of 【Body Without Self and Form · Red】 was just that plain and unadorned.

As long as he did not wish for the Heavenly Dao to notice him, it truly could not.

Gu Yan stretched lazily, quite satisfied in his heart.

This entry—this was the true god-tier support.

Any combat-type entries or enhancement-type entries all had to take a back seat in his eyes.

An existence that could make even the Heavenly Dao selectively blind—this was the kind of trump card a transmigrator should have.

After breaking through, he did not rush to climb higher.

A stable foundation had always been his principle.

Moreover, he had obtained the new technique for many years now, but had been busy transitioning and breaking through—he had not yet properly studied the divine abilities and techniques it contained.

The 《Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture》 was also a top-tier technique, but it only came with spells, not divine abilities.

So-called spells were, simply put, techniques for using spiritual power—their strength depended entirely on one’s cultivation.

Divine abilities were different.

They operated on the level of rules—it was the difference between “how” and “why.”

Using fire as an example: a spell meant using spiritual power to simulate flames.

A divine ability meant making heaven and earth recognize that there should be fire.

The difference in level was absolute.

Gu Yan sank his mind into his sea of consciousness and began reviewing the inherited knowledge imprinted within the 《Primordial Limitless Grand Five Elements Primordial Chaos Creation True Scripture Creation True Scripture》.

In the Qi Refining section, there was already an entry-level divine ability—【Five Elements Guidance】.

Its effect was simple: using Five Elements qi as a guide to sense the flow trajectories of all things.

In simpler terms, he could see how the Five Elements power within anything operated.

The flow of spiritual power in magical treasures, the circulation routes of techniques, the meridian flows within cultivators—all appeared as clearly as if he had x-ray vision.

Not only could he see, he could also guide.

If he wished, he could use his own Five Elements power to influence, disrupt, or even sever the opponent’s Five Elements circulation.

An enemy fighting normally might suddenly find their spiritual power stalling—that would be his doing.

Further down—

The Golden Core section corresponded to 【Five Elements Void Escape】, allowing free movement through objects of the Five Elements.

The Nascent Soul section was 【Five Elements Dharma Body】, condensing Five Elements power into a battle avatar while the true body could remain hidden.

It sounded similar to his existing External Incarnation divine ability, but the level was clearly lower.

After all, it was merely a divine ability attached to a technique—it could not compare to a true incarnation art meant to split into three selves.

The Transformation Spirit section had 【Five Elements Samsara Eye】, capable of seeing through Five Elements transformations and countering all Five Elements-type techniques. He quite liked this name.

The Void Refinement section had 【Five Elements Annihilation】—a single strike could destroy all Five Elements power within its range.

And the divine ability corresponding to the Integration Realm he had just reached was called 【Five Elements Return to Origin】.

Its effect was summarized in a single line: using oneself as the foundation to evolve a miniature Five Elements world—standing within it, one would be immune to all techniques.

After reading everything, Gu Yan fell silent for a moment.

He suddenly felt that the name of his previous technique, 《Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture》, had been far too arrogant.

That was it?

Compared to this technique, that one was at most a “Grand Five Elements Beginner Experience Edition.”

And this was only up to the Integration Realm—there were still Great Ascension, Tribulation Crossing, and even the Immortal chapters ahead...

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Gu Yan’s lips.

This cheat was a bit overpowered.

But he liked it.

......

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm.

Azure Wave Sect.

Within a cave abode, Nether Soul opened his eyes, a faint glimmer flashing within them.

He was Gu Yan’s external incarnation.

When the original body ate meat, he drank the broth.

When the original body broke through to Integration, his own cultivation naturally rose with the tide.

Nether Soul stood up and walked to the entrance of his cave abode, gazing at the Azure Wave Sect’s mountain gate scenery outside, while calculating the information transmitted from the original body.

True Person Qingxu. True Person Xuanyun.

These two late Nascent Soul ancestors of the Azure Wave Sect had nearly exhausted their lifespan—only two years remained.

Two years later, they would successively attempt to break through to Transformation Spirit, and then both would fall.

After their deaths, the Void Refinement second layer cultivator Zhou Ziyang, who was overseeing the Azure Wave Sect, would also return to the Tianyan Dao Sect not long after.

At that time, the Azure Wave Sect would lose all its high-level combat strength.

As for True Person Qingxu’s granddaughter, the woman named Liu Ruyan…

Images transmitted from the original body surfaced in Nether Soul’s mind.

In the images, the woman had a beautiful face, with a trace of coldness and stubbornness in her brows.

After her great-grandfather’s death, influenced by someone unknown, she attributed Qingxu’s death to Zhou Ziyang.

Because of this, she even developed a rift with her husband, a true disciple in the Tianyan Dao Sect.

Their relationship fractured, and it seemed to cause quite a commotion in the end.

After reviewing this information, only one thought appeared in Nether Soul’s mind.

This Liu Ruyan had the bearing of a Great Emperor.

When the original body saw this name, he had also fallen silent for a long time before sending over a thought.

“This name, this style of doing things—I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere.”

Nether Soul had replied at the time: “In novels.”

Original body: “…Right.”

But all that had nothing to do with Nether Soul.

The deaths of the two ancestors of the Azure Wave Sect were fate, lifespan, failed breakthroughs—no matter how it was calculated, it could not be blamed on anyone within the sect.

After all, in the Azure Wave Sect, those two late Nascent Soul ancestors were the heavens themselves, the strongest combat power.

No one within the sect would harm their own ancestors, nor could they.

So Nether Soul did not bother with it.

He now had something more important.

Among the information transmitted by the original body, there was one crucial instruction—

Take a disciple.

A very special one.

While using the Haotian Mirror to observe the future, Gu Yan had accidentally discovered a person in one timeline.

At that time, the individual had already become famous in the Spirit Realm, stirring up boundless slaughter—heads rolling, blood flowing like rivers.

Gu Yan grew interested and traced his origins, only to discover something intriguing.

That person’s previous life had actually been the Star God of the Yinghuo Star within the Immortal Court of the Immortal Realm.

Immortal King Realm.

For offending an Immortal Emperor, he had been schemed against and cast into reincarnation, reborn in the Spirit Realm.

What was the Immortal Realm?

It was a higher plane above the Spirit Realm.

What was the Immortal Court?

It was the largest power in the Immortal Realm, whose ruler was an existence known as the Cang Emperor.

A reincarnated Immortal King—even if all memories were lost, his essence far surpassed ordinary people.

After seeing this information, the original body had sent only one sentence:

“A calamity star like this—if not taken as a disciple, it would be a waste of the Haotian Mirror.”

Nether Soul fully agreed.

What was the advantage of seeing the future?

It was the ability to place bets in advance.

While others were still guessing which disciples had potential and which were worthless, he already knew who the true chosen one of heaven was.

Even if that chosen one would unleash boundless slaughter in the future.

So what?

With the original body backing him, with the Haotian Mirror as a cheat, was there any fear that a reincarnated Immortal King could overturn the heavens?

Moreover, precisely because he knew this person would cause trouble, he had to take him in.

Keeping him under watch was far better than letting him run wild outside.

If one day he remembered who he was and sought revenge against the Immortal Emperor, the original body could even hand him a blade—and perhaps gain some benefits along the way.

Thinking this, Nether Soul stepped forward and walked toward the mountain gate.

Today was the day the Azure Wave Sect’s outer sect recruited disciples.
