Chapter 968: Chapter 701: Spirit Plant Transformation, Li Family’s Calamity

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Qin Ming collected the aura surrounding him, the phenomena behind him dissipated, and the immense power of the Mountain Star River receded like a tide.

The terrifying spiritual pressure in the surroundings also suddenly vanished.

Atop the Black Lotus in the Central Palace Dantian, Qin Ming’s inky-black Demon Infant Primordial Spirit gave a sinister smile, releasing the Primordial Extreme Divine Mountain from within and withdrawing it back into the Spirit King Cauldron.

This time, drawing upon the power of the Divine Mountain to break through to Body Refining Great Perfection only absorbed a tiny fraction of the Power of the Mountains.

In the future, it will not affect the continued refining of it into one of the Returning Void Treasures—"True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain."

He felt the qualitative change in his physical body, filled with surging Primordial Power, having experienced a substantial breakthrough in strength.

"I didn’t expect my Body Refining cultivation to take the lead and break through to the Divinity Transformation Great Perfection realm, practically comparable to a Tier Six Ancient Wild Demon God, with Void Refining Level combat strength."

"If I encounter the Divine Monarch Lingtian I once recorded in my little notebook, it’s likely he’s no longer my match now!"

"If I unleash the Giant Spirit God Incarnation divine technique, combined with the Aurora Power, becoming immune to all techniques and invulnerable to weapons, my body comparable to the Returning Void Treasures, this truly fills me with a sense of security, hmph!"

Having broken through in cultivation, Qin Ming was in quite a good mood, familiarized himself with his internal power, gathered his aura, and immediately stood up and walked out of the Cave Mansion.

As soon as he emerged, the Heaven-Devouring Rat and several beasts, along with Lan Bing Fairy and others, surrounded him, congratulating:

"Congratulations, Master, on your great advancement in cultivation!!"

Qin Ming waved his hand, speaking lightly, "Just a modest improvement, but today calls for a celebration. Go fetch some Spirit Wine and Spiritual Food, let’s prepare a feast."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat and the other beasts immediately looked excited and bustled about upon hearing this.

When Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei looked at Qin Ming again, although there seemed to be no change on the surface, still like that ancient verdant tree.

Yet, they couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation, an inexplicable feeling of insignificance as if they were ants in the presence of Qin Ming...

Indicating that Qin Ming’s breakthrough was not as simple as it appeared.

However, they did not dare to inquire further.

Fortunately, Lan Bing Fairy, by their side, voiced their inner doubts: "Fellow Daoist Qin, could it be that your breakthrough this time involved cultivating some Great Divine Techniques? That terrifying spiritual pressure just now... it seemed comparable to a Divine Monarch Void Refining..."

"Ahem! Exactly..." Qin Ming did not avoid responding frankly, but did not elaborate further.

Lan Bing Fairy’s heart immediately trembled!

She believed herself to be quite fast in cultivation thanks to bearing two types of Ancient True Spirit Bloodline, yet in front of Qin Ming, she still felt she was nothing.

Unlike the others, she could sense that Qin Ming had undergone some sort of transformation, granting him such an overwhelming oppressive presence.

Then.

Qin Ming asked Baili Hui, "By the way, during the days I was in seclusion, has anything changed in the external situation?"

"To report to Master, this old one was just about to speak of it." Baili Hui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Just as Master Su and Cloud-Fishing Elder mentioned not long ago, the upper echelons of Celestial Star City have undergone significant changes, causing the entire Kunlun Realm to be on edge, shrouded in gloom and stormy clouds!"

"Many powerful families are taking sides, as it involves the reallocation of resources."

"When these factions encounter each other, they clash, and over a dozen conflicts have broken out on various scales."

"Even the upper echelons of Celestial Star City have turned a blind eye, completely ignoring it."

"I found out that even the Wang Family of Yunmeng Mountain has secretly aligned themselves with Divine Monarch Jin Ao’s faction, receiving allocation of two Silver Armor Star Guard slots and five Bronze Star Guard slots for support..."

"Hmm... This Wang Family is indeed restless. It’s unexpected that previously having Li Changqing report them in secret to Celestial Star City resulted in no evidence found against them. Now that the situation is chaotic, instead, they’ve found powerful backing... Truly unimaginable!" Qin Ming said, touching his chin and contemplating.

"Continue monitoring them closely for me, report any further actions."

"Yes, Master!" Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei bowed, accepting their orders.

Not long after.

On Little Turtle Peak, the sound of a celebratory feast broke out again...

A few days later.

Qin Ming went to the Spirit Field within the Little Spirit Realm, tending to the fields.

His Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Life and Death Profound Vine, had grown a lot after absorbing the Blood Pearl last time.

It had already borne gold and silver colored fruits, and the entries progress updated:

[Name]: Life and Death Profound Vine [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Power x5 (Maturity 92%)

[Name]: Life and Death Profound Vine [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 91%)

[Name]: Life and Death Profound Vine [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Qi Blood x5 (Maturity 93%)

Qin Ming could feel his Lifebound Spirit Plant was undergoing another transformative phase.

"It seems that once these spirit fruits mature, this mysterious black vine will undergo yet another transformation..."

"Currently, the Thorn Technique unleashed by the black spirit seeds is almost indefensible even in the Divinity Transformation Stage, equivalent to a Great Divine Technique."

"If it undergoes yet another change, it might even threaten Void Refining Stage cultivators."

The black vine hung from the sky like a canopy, swaying gently in the breeze, runes flashing, while the gold and silver spirit fruits dangling from the branches emitted an eerie glow, appearing quite mysterious.

Qin Ming moved to stand under the Brahma Demon Sacred Tree, under which lay countless buried bodies of demonic cultivators and genuine demon race cadres.
