Stronger with Crimson Modifier

The moment he realized what was happening, Songling Zi had no time to worry about anything else. His figure transformed into a streak of sword-light and shot into the sky.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhiyuan remained where he was, staring up at the scene with a flash of envy in his eyes.

His current strength was insufficient for flight.

The True Energy in his body could, at most, allow him to glide for a short distance on his Demon-slaying Sword. He couldn’t truly fly into the sky, so he could only stand and watch.

’Master is in such a hurry. Could something major have happened?’

Wang Zhiyuan frowned.

...

As a Great Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, Songling Zi’s speed was nothing short of astonishing.

In just a few moments, he arrived high above Tai Ze Lake.

His gaze, sharp as lightning, swept across the area, his expression growing ever more solemn.

The sky was dim, fierce winds howled, and the surface of the lake churned with violent waves.

And this was only what could be seen on the surface.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, he could feel that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in this region had been almost completely drained, all of it surging into Tai Ze Lake.

This was clearly not normal.

’Could someone be breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm? No, even a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation couldn’t possibly cause a disturbance this massive!’

Songling Zi’s brow furrowed.

A hundred years ago, he had witnessed a Supreme Elder from Taiqing Palace break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm. The commotion had been great, but it couldn’t compare to this.

Besides, if it were a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm, a heavenly tribulation would surely descend.

Although the Three Great Immortal Sects possessed methods to evade heavenly tribulations, they could only do so for the tribulations of the Nascent Element and Nascent Soul Realms.

As a Cultivator’s strength increased, the heavenly tribulations they faced grew progressively stronger.

The Divinity Transformation Realm was the final major Realm before becoming an Immortal. The terror of its heavenly tribulation was self-evident; it was impossible to evade and could only be faced head-on.

He remembered that after the Supreme Elder from the palace had passed his tribulation, even with the protection and isolation of the Sect Array, the mountain peak where he stood was still razed to the ground. For a hundred li in every direction, the earth was charred black, nearly turning into a dead zone.

The current phenomenon was terrifying, but he saw no signs of an impending heavenly tribulation.

’Could it be related to *that*?’

Suddenly, Songling Zi seemed to think of something, and his gaze shifted.

There was something in Tai Ze Lake.

Something related to his disciple, Wang Zhiyuan.

In fact, it was the very key to whether or not Wang Zhiyuan could achieve Ascension to Immortality.

As one of the chosen destined for this era’s trial of immortality, Wang Zhiyuan carried the high hopes of Taiqing Palace.

Therefore, this fortuitous opportunity of Wang Zhiyuan’s could not be lost, no matter what.

At this thought, Songling Zi’s figure moved, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light and plunging into the lake.

He had to go see for himself what was happening.

His True Energy formed a barrier around him, parting the surrounding water.

He shot through the depths like a white blade, the immense pressure of the water unable to impede his descent.

Anything in his path was cleaved in two.

As for whether he might encounter any danger by recklessly barging in, Songling Zi paid it no mind.

He paid no heed to the Demon Race in Tai Ze Lake. Even their strongest, the River-Devouring Demon Monarch, was merely at the fourth or Fifth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm and was no match for him.

Thus, Songling Zi had no reservations.

Before long, he reached the very center of the vortex, the location of the Swallow River Palace.

Looking at the Swallow River Palace before him, Songling Zi was just preparing to break through the Restriction.

The next moment.

A brilliant flash of light pulsed before his eyes.

Songling Zi, who had been about to enter and investigate, suddenly found his gaze turning vacant.

It lasted for only a moment.

Then his mind cleared.

’What am I doing here?’

Songling Zi looked around, confused.

He then turned and left.

It wasn’t just him.

At that very moment, all the Cultivators and members of the Demon Race in and around Tai Ze Lake who had witnessed the strange phenomenon seemed to lose their memories of it.

No, it was more like they had been subjected to some kind of interference.

They simply ignored the Spiritual Energy anomaly as if they had never noticed it in the first place.

...

「Bottom of Tai Ze Lake, inside the Swallow River Palace.」

All the members of the Demon Race and the Spirit Monsters were frozen in place, as if under an Immobilization Technique. They were unable to move a muscle, like a still image.

Suddenly, everything returned to normal.

The demons returned to their duties, seemingly unaware that anything was amiss.

The vortex of Spiritual Energy returned to normal, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Inside the palace, Hu Qi was nowhere to be seen.

In his place was an enormous, ferocious serpent, its scales a mix of black and white.

Its Crimson eyes glowed like two massive lanterns.

Just then, the giant serpent shrank, transforming into the shape of a Young Man.

It was Hu Qi.

He looked at the panel before him.

[Skill: Taichu Refining Immortal Record (Divinity Transformation Chapter: Ninth Layer) △ Lifebound Technique: Profound Yin Heavy Water]

...

[Modification Point: 54101 (7%)]

To advance from the Ninth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm would take an ordinary Cultivator at least a century. For the Demon Race, it would take even longer—perhaps double that time.

Yet Hu Qi had accomplished it in less than an hour.

The price was four thousand Modification Points, which averaged out to five hundred points per layer.

After his Cultivation reached the Divinity Transformation Ninth Layer, his Twisted Light Talent had also been strengthened.

The method he had just used to twist their self-awareness was a direct application of his Twisted Light.

He had directly twisted their memories and perceptions, causing them to overlook the anomaly at Tai Ze Lake.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Hu Qi focused on the state of his body, and an idea came to mind.
