Chapter 148 Transformation into God!
Three days later, in the capital city of Dayong, at the Temple of Heaven.
As the sun rises, rays of light spread across the sky.
The area beneath the Temple of Heaven was packed with people.
Not only the people of the capital region, but also representatives of the people from various prefectures and cities, numbering over a million, a dark mass, yet completely silent.
Everyone looked up at the highest point of the Temple of Heaven.
On the nine-tiered white marble steps, Qin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black robe with twelve imperial symbols and wearing a twelve-tassel crown.
Bathed in the morning sun, it seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden glow, majestic like a deity.
Behind him stood seven women, including Luo Qingluan, Yu Qingyi, and Fairy Yaoguang, on either side, all dressed in formal palace attire, each with a unique temperament, like celestial maidens descending to earth.
The Grand Secretary led all civil and military officials in standing solemnly below the altar.
The auspicious time has arrived.
The master of ceremonies announced loudly, "The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven shall begin!"
The bells and drums sounded in unison, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Qin Xiao slowly stepped forward, stood in the center of the altar, accepted the three thick sticks of ambergris from the master of ceremonies, and faced the heavens.
Instead of reciting the usual sacrificial text, he spoke aloud, his voice echoing over every city in the thirteen states of Dayong through a sound transmission array pre-arranged by Fairy Yaoguang:
"I, Qin Xiao, Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty, have been ordained by Heaven to rule the four seas."
"For decades, I have devoted myself to cultivating the Tao, seeking the way to immortality, hoping to use my immortal body to forever protect the Great Yong Dynasty and forever bless the people of the world."
"Now that my divine powers are nearing completion, I hereby proclaim this to Heaven and Earth, and to all the people!"
Qin Xiao took a deep breath, and the immense willpower accumulated in his dantian completely merged with the five-colored spiritual power and spatial power, transforming into an indescribable vast aura that soared into the sky!
"I, the Emperor, here today..."
"Breaking through to the Divine Realm!"
The moment those four words were uttered, the world changed drastically!
"Boom!"
The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds!
But these dark clouds were not calamity clouds, but auspicious clouds shimmering with seven-colored light!
The clouds churned, and the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing could be faintly heard!
The remaining spiritual energy throughout the entire Yunlan Realm began to stir!
Within a radius of a thousand miles from the capital, all cultivators, whether registered with the Cultivation Bureau or hiding in the shadows, looked up in horror, feeling the heart-palpitating pressure of heaven and earth.
"Such a commotion...I've never seen anything like it before!"
"The direction is towards the capital... Could it be the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty?!"
On the Temple of Heaven, Qin Xiao closed his eyes and completely released the suppression of his cultivation.
"Buzz!"
His body shone with golden light, and behind him faintly appeared a phantom of an emperor who was a hundred feet tall. He wore a flat crown and a dragon robe. His face was blurred, but he exuded supreme majesty that ruled the eight wastelands and reigned supreme over the world!
This is not the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, but the "Imperial Soul Dharma Form" formed by the combination of the emperor's fortune and the wishes of the people!
At the same time, the three-inch-tall Nascent Soul figure inside Qin Xiao's dantian began to undergo a dramatic change.
The little figure formed hand seals, with five-colored spiritual energy flowing around its body, intertwined with strands of silver-gray spatial power, and golden wish power surging in from the outside like a tide.
The nascent soul's form began to blur, expand, and recombine...
"Snap!"
It was as if the sound of some barrier being broken echoed in the heart of every living being.
Qin Xiao's soul began to sublimate.
He felt as if he had broken free from the constraints of his physical body, and his divine sense extended infinitely.
He saw the shocked expressions on the faces of the people of the capital who looked up at the sky.
He saw monsters trembling and crawling in the mountains and wilderness a thousand miles away;
He saw further away, in the ruins of Tianzhu Mountain, the remaining array patterns glowed faintly, as if in response;
He even vaguely sensed several cold gazes cast upon him from beyond the endless void, but they were blocked by some kind of barrier and could not truly descend...
"The path to becoming a deity lies in the resonance between the primordial spirit and heaven and earth."
Qin Xiao suddenly understood, "My path is the path of an emperor, a path that gathers the will of all people, merges the five elements, and forges an immortal primordial spirit!"
"Today, I will use this path to open the door to the Nascent Soul stage!"
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth!
Above Qin Xiao's head, a crack suddenly appeared in the auspicious seven-colored clouds!
A beam of pure golden light, as thick as a mountain, descended from the heavens and enveloped Qin Xiao entirely!
Within the pillar of light, one could vaguely see thousands of figures worshipping, a manifestation of the will and power of the people of Dayong.
Furthermore, one can see the unusual phenomena of the five elements rotating and space folding.
Furthermore, there are ever-changing landscapes depicting mountains and rivers, symbolizing the territory ruled by emperors.
"Your Majesty... has become a god?!"
Below the altar, someone murmured something, and then a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami erupted:
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The sound was deafening, and the power of wishes surged like a tide!
These pure and fervent wishes converged into the pillar of light, surged into Qin Xiao's body, and became the final driving force for his breakthrough.
Qin Xiao's nascent soul transformed into a three-inch-tall "primordial spirit" with a face identical to his own, yet possessing boundless majesty!
The primordial spirit was draped in five-colored radiance, with a silver-gray starlight between its brows and a golden wheel of wish power floating behind its head. It sat cross-legged in the center of its dantian, slowly rotating.
With each rotation, Qin Xiao's aura surged!
Peak of late Nascent Soul stage... Half-step into Deity Transformation stage... Early Deity Transformation stage!
The beam of light lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly dissipating.
The auspicious clouds gradually receded, and the sky returned to clear.
Qin Xiao opened his eyes.
His eyes seemed to hold the rise and fall of stars, the changing landscape, and the multiplication of countless people...
At first glance, it appears as deep as an abyss, yet as clear as a mirror.
Transformation into a divine being, accomplished!
His lifespan was three thousand years, his supernatural powers underwent a qualitative change, he traveled through the vast void, and comprehended the laws of nature!
He gently raised his hand, feeling the surging power within him.
With a single thought, one can draw upon the spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles.
With a wave of his hand, he can tear through space and teleport hundreds of miles.
A single glance can kill a Nascent Soul cultivator!
This is the power of a Divine Transformation!
However, just as Qin Xiao was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, the "System" interface in his mind, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started flashing violently!
[Ding! Host has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, completing a major realm leap!]
[System upgrade in progress... Upgrade complete!]
[Congratulations, host, on receiving the "Divine Transformation Gift Pack"!]
[Gift Pack Unlocked: Obtain the Spirit Treasure - Cave Heaven Instrument!]
Qin Xiao's heart stirred, and his consciousness sank into the system space.
A palm-sized, crystal-clear, glass-like compass-shaped object with countless points of light flowing inside floated within.
[Lingbao·Dongtianyi: An ancient treasure for observation, capable of piercing through the void and peering into the essence of all realms.]
With a thought, Qin Xiao separated a wisp of his primordial spirit power and infused it into the device.
"Buzz!"
The Cave Heaven Instrument trembled slightly and flew into Qin Xiao's brow.
In that instant, he "saw" a sight he had never seen before!
A golden vertical line quietly appeared on his forehead, like a third eye!
Through this "heavenly eye," Qin Xiao's gaze pierced through the sky of the Cloud Realm and through the invisible barrier between realms.
He saw a vast, boundless void, with countless worlds scattered like stars.
He saw the vague outlines of several small worlds near the Cloud Realm.
Then, his gaze turned to higher and farther places...
That's the "upper realm"!
Although my current cultivation level only allows me to see a small part of it.
But this corner alone is enough to be breathtaking!
