Chapter 331: Chapter 298: World Destruction Stele, Refining and Possession

"Elder Ge, what kind of array is this? And why have you summoned me here?"

Jiang Zuo gazed at the array, feigning ignorance.

"Changqing, this is an array that allows a Divine Soul from the Upper Realm to descend into our world."

"Among everyone in the sect, your physical body is the most suitable for hosting the descending Divine Soul from the Upper Realm."

"But rest assured, the Divine Soul will only be borrowing your body for a while. Once its business is concluded, it will leave."

Ge Fangrong stared at Jiang Zuo and spoke slowly.

’Borrowing my body? Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t believe such nonsense.’

"I understand. It is my honor to contribute to the sect!"

"If the senior from the Upper Realm needs my body, they can have it."

"I’m just worried that my current injuries are quite severe and might interfere with the descent ceremony."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

"Rest assured, Changqing. Your injuries won’t have much of an impact."

"The descent ceremony is about to begin. Just go into the array and lie down quietly."

Ge Fangrong offered a faint smile.

Jiang Zuo nodded, walked slowly to the very center of the array, and lay down on the ground.

"Sect Leader, it seems the Upper Realm’s brainwashing techniques are quite potent. I don’t sense the slightest hint of resistance from Changqing."

Ge Fangrong’s figure flickered, and he appeared at the far end of the hall beside He Daozhen.

He Daozhen nodded, watching Jiang Zuo, who was lying in the center of the array, with an indifferent expression.

However, as he watched Jiang Zuo, a thought couldn’t help but surface in his mind.

’It seems so easy for the Upper Realm to use such methods.’

’If I ascend to the Upper Realm one day, what if someone treats me the same way?’

’How would I protect myself?’

"Divine Mountain Grand Array! Activate!"

Before the descent array started, a fourth-tier array surrounding East Divine Mountain thundered to life.

This Divine Mountain Grand Array, besides its defensive capabilities, could also conceal unusual phenomena on the Divine Mountain and block any attempts at reconnaissance.

Once the array was active, their area was almost completely cut off from the outside world.

"Divine Soul Descent Array! Rise!"

Immediately after, pillars of light materialized out of thin air from the array surrounding Jiang Zuo.

The pillars of light instantly pierced through the stone ceiling of the hall and shot toward the sky.

However, not even the disciples cultivating on the slopes of East Divine Mountain could detect a thing.

The pillars of light soared into the vault of heaven, weaving together to form a colossal array pattern in the sky.

Soon, a beam of dark red light pierced through the void from within the array, descending out of nowhere.

He Daozhen watched the slowly descending dark red light with a blank expression.

All sorts of thoughts surfaced in his mind, but in the end, he remained unmoved. He simply watched quietly as the dark red light landed on Jiang Zuo’s head within the array below.

’I, Dragon Star, am a man of immense talent, yet I’ve been forced to descend to a lower realm and seize a body!’

’I hope this person I’m possessing has the Fire and Wood Element Spirit Bodies, just as the family said.’

’Only then will this whole endeavor not be a loss.’

Within the dark red light, Dragon Star thought indignantly.

Among the disciples of his generation in the Long Family, his talent ranked in the top five.

But simply because of his low birth, his foundation wasn’t as solid as that of the other geniuses in the family.

One step behind, always behind.

Before descending to this realm, the gap between him and his rivals had already grown quite large.

He knew that if things continued this way, he would never be able to compete with them again.

Upon learning that the family was looking for someone to descend to a lower realm, Dragon Star steeled his resolve. He decided to take a gamble, spending years of accumulated Family Contribution to trade for this opportunity to descend and seize a body.

It was, in fact, an incredibly risky move.

The slightest mistake, and he would be damned beyond recovery.

Never mind the potential for accidents during the descent process.

Even if he descended successfully, if the possessed person’s aptitude wasn’t as good as the reports from the Lower Realm claimed, he would be finished.

The Long Family was not a particularly powerful family in the Upper Realm. If he died in the Lower Realm, he would be truly dead.

If the body he seized had poor aptitude, he would be stuck in the Lower Realm until he died of old age.

As the dark red light sank into Jiang Zuo’s head,

Dragon Star immediately activated his Divine Sense, sweeping it over Jiang Zuo’s body.

The first thing he looked at was, naturally, the Qi Sea.

One glance at the Qi Sea was all it took to instantly understand the aptitude of the body’s owner.

"This..."

As Dragon Star’s Divine Sense swept over the Qi Sea, he was instantly stunned.

For a moment, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

An ordinary Cultivator’s Qi Sea has a radius of about eleven to twelve meters, with an area of over a hundred square meters.

But Jiang Zuo’s Qi Sea had a radius of 165 meters—fifteen times that of an ordinary Cultivator.

Its area reached a terrifying 27,000-plus square meters, over two hundred times larger than an ordinary Cultivator’s!

Dragon Star had never even heard of such a terrifying Qi Sea.

Overcoming his shock, Dragon Star hurriedly looked toward the Divine Tree growing on the Dao Foundation of the Qi Sea.

An interwoven, Five-Colored Divine Tree immediately appeared before his eyes.

’A Five-Colored Divine Tree! Simultaneous cultivation of all five elements!’

’Hahaha! I’d heard rumors that a Five Elements Spirit Body had appeared in this realm, but I never thought it was actually true!’

’This person doesn’t just have the Fire and Wood Element Spirit Bodies—he has the legendary Five Elements Spirit Body!’

’The Five Elements Spirit Body! A peerless genius that might not appear even once in ten thousand years! And now, it’s all mine!’

’I really didn’t bet wrong! When I return to the Upper Realm with this Five Elements Spirit Body, who will be able to stand against me!’

’The next Patriarch of the Long Family will definitely be me!’

Seeing the Five-Colored Divine Tree in Jiang Zuo’s Qi Sea, Dragon Star couldn’t contain his ecstasy.

According to legend, a Five Elements Spirit Body would encounter no bottlenecks in their cultivation.

As long as he focused on his cultivation, he could easily leave all his rivals in the dust.

While others were still agonizing over how to break through to the next realm, he might have already reached the one after that.
