452: Chapter 452 Breakthrough

"It's quite simple. When the Divine Soul is complete and the Physical Body has reached its peak, you can use your own will as a guide to fuse the two, thereby entering the Ninth Realm."

Xiao Weiqing frowned as he listened, murmuring, "The Divine Soul is complete? How long will that take?"

The Elf Divine Envoy asked curiously, "Wait?"

"Isn't your Divine Soul already complete, and your Divine Body nearing Perfection?"

"What did you say?"

Xiao Weiqing was confused. His Divine Soul was complete?

"Of course, I noticed it last time."

"But my Divine Soul is still far from it."

The Elf Divine Envoy frowned. "That shouldn't be the case. I wouldn't be mistaken."

Both fell into confusion.

Suddenly.

The Elf Divine Envoy's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, "Your Divine Soul isn't at Perfection, right?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. Since his Divine Soul had devoured the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame last time, it had grown into the appearance of a youth, but then its growth slowed down.

"Then that means the Divine Soul is complete," the Elf Divine Envoy said. "Completeness is completeness, and Perfection is Perfection."

"The two are different."

"A while ago, someone came to Lingshen Peak, I think his name was... Xie Zhiyuan. His Divine Soul was incomplete. Even with the help of the azure dragon divine stele, it would be difficult for him to enter the Ninth Realm without three to five months."

Xiao Weiqing realized that he had misunderstood.

In that case, as long as he cultivated his Divine Body to Perfection, he could attempt to break through to the Ninth Realm.

"I understand."

Xiao Weiqing turned and left.

"Hmph~"

"What an impolite fellow. I answered your questions, yet you didn't even say thank you."

The Elf Divine Envoy muttered gloomily.

Xiao Weiqing, who was about to walk out of the World within a World, paused and turned to look at the Elf Divine Envoy.

The Elf Divine Envoy's body suddenly froze, feeling extremely frightened inside.

"Thank you!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiqing left.

"Hmph~ Who wants your thanks~"

The Elf Divine Envoy gave a haughty huff, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

...

Inside the Divine Temple.

Side Hall.

This room was used to store Divine Body Treasures.

At this moment.

Xiao Weiqing sat on the floor, silently running his Cultivation Technique, continuously absorbing energy from the Divine Body Treasures. This state had lasted for several days.

Many Divine Body Treasures were scattered on the ground.

First-class unknown fruits, second-class jades, third class liquids; though different, they had all become waste, their energy completely exhausted.

Xiao Weiqing's brows were tightly knit.

Upon closer inspection.

Between every breath, there was a faint, mysterious fluctuation. The blood flowing within his body was like a surging river, creating echoes in the room.

Suddenly.

Divine light erupted from within Xiao Weiqing's body, and golden divine flames exploded around him, filling the entire room.

The entire room was completely enveloped in golden light.

After an unknown amount of time,

The divine light receded.

Only to see.

On the floor sat a youth with an incredibly tender Face, cross-legged.

The youth opened his eyes and slowly stood up. After standing, his head actually reached the ceiling of the hall.

One must know.

Although this room was only a Side Hall, its height exceeded a hundred meters.

The youth clenched his fists and suddenly punched toward the door.

"Bang!!"

The door instantly exploded into pieces, and even the entire room trembled.

The divine light vanished, and the youth rapidly shrank, returning to his normal size and revealing Xiao Weiqing's original appearance.

"Is this the Ninth Realm?"

Xiao Weiqing murmured, filled with disbelief. Previously, he couldn't move the door of this room even an inch with his full strength.

Now, with just one punch, it was shattered into pieces.

This transformation intoxicated Xiao Weiqing. His current strength couldn't even be described as doubled; it was simply incomparable.

Strong.

Too strong.

"The Divine Soul projects a phantom image outside the body, solidifying the cosmic energy to be no different from the Physical Body. This is very much like the Heavenly Manifestation in novels."

But it was also different because it was too small.

According to what Xiao Weiqing knew, Heavenly Manifestation was often tens of thousands of meters high, whereas his could only be considered a mini version at most.

A mini version is fine, as long as it's strong enough.

If he were to Face Demigod Huang Qi again now, he was confident he could heavily injure him with a single punch.

Inside the Divine Temple's main hall.

Qian Yi was somewhat anxious, pacing back and forth. She had heard the commotion just now—or rather, she couldn't help but hear it, as the noise was simply too loud.

"Principal Xie, do you think Weiqing will be alright?"

"What could happen?"

Compared to Qian Yi's worry, Xie Zhiyuan appeared quite normal, even somewhat relaxed. He knew that a Ninth Realm expert had finally appeared on Blue Star again.

"Rest assured, Xiao Weiqing succeeded."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Xie Zhiyuan's Divine Soul completeness was actually inferior to Qian Yi's because she had once cultivated the incomplete Star Contemplation Method, which was later completed by Xiao Weiqing.

Therefore.

Qian Yi's Divine Soul might not be powerful enough yet, but it was incredibly complete.

However, Xie Zhiyuan had cultivated for much longer than Qian Yi, so his soul power was higher. He could clearly sense the changes in Xiao Weiqing deep within the temple during that sudden outburst.

It was identical to Demigod Huang Qi, whom they had encountered at the Luo Jiang Demon Realm Entrance.

No.

That pressure was even more intense, much stronger.

*Tap... tap... tap...*

Heavy footsteps approached.

Xiao Weiqing slowly walked out, his presence so sharp that Xie Zhiyuan and Qian Yi could not look at him directly.

There was no helping it.

The leap in power was too great, and Xiao Weiqing couldn't adapt to it for a moment, so he could only try his best to restrain his aura.

"You're finally out."

Qian Yi stepped forward and carefully looked Xiao Weiqing up and down.

"Sister Yi, what's wrong?"

"Girl Qian was worried about you," Xie Zhiyuan teased. "If you hadn't come out, she would have made me dizzy with her pacing."

Xiao Weiqing shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Sister Yi, I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Weiqing, you should have entered the Ninth Realm by now, right?" Xie Zhiyuan asked.

Facing Xie Zhiyuan's question, Xiao Weiqing did not hide it. "Old Headmaster, I have indeed broken through to the Ninth Realm."

Xie Zhiyuan smiled, very happily and gratified. "Good, good."

Just then.

"You rascal!"

"You brat, it's one thing not to tell me when you broke through to the Eighth Realm, but I'm only the third person to know about your Breakthrough to the Ninth Realm!"

A loud shout rang out.

Xiao Weiqing snapped back from the joy of breaking through, his body suddenly stiffening and cold sweat breaking out on his back.

This had nothing to do with strength; it was simply a student's fear of his teacher.

A burly man walked in from outside the temple door, wearing a black tank top, large shorts, and a pair of flip-flops.

Who else could it be but Ning Xing?

"Uh... that... Teacher, let me explain."

Xiao Weiqing subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Qian Yi.

Ning Xing had a cold Face, staring at Xiao Weiqing for a long time before sighing.

"Sigh, you have a girlfriend now, so I'll give you some Face."

"Besides, I can't beat you anymore." There was actually a trace of dejection in Ning Xing's voice.

To think that he, Ning Xing, was once a Genius among ten thousand, yet he had suffered a setback on Lingshen Peak this time.

For a whole month.

He hadn't even seen a glimpse of the Divine Soul and had been laughed at by his elders for a month.

"Ning Xing, soul cultivation cannot be rushed."

Xie Zhiyuan naturally knew Ning Xing's situation, but he couldn't help him with this matter and could only offer words of comfort.
