CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 210: SPIRIT SEAL, CONDENSE LIKE CRAZY FOR ME! (6K)_2

Inside the cave, Zhou sat cross-legged, surrounded by a thick layer of spirit stone powder.

This breakthrough to Divinity Transformation had almost exhausted all his possessions from these past years.

There was no other way; the energy required for Divinity Transformation was immense, not to mention he was different from ordinary people.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly!

"Finally Divinity Transformation!" Feeling the power within, far surpassing Nascent Soul, and the 186 spirit seals floating around his Primordial Spirit, Zhou was overwhelmed with joy.

It was all worth it!

From now on, the Primordial Spirit, far more powerful than Nascent Soul, could exist outside the physical body for extended periods.

If faced with danger, even if the body suffered severe damage, the remaining Primordial Spirit could recover and regenerate, unlike Nascent Soul, which risked total annihilation if damaged.

Moreover, his lifespan had increased from a thousand to three thousand years.

The condensation of the Primordial Spirit allowed him to perform certain powerful spirit secret skills, giving him more methods and advantages in battle and cultivation.

The benefits were countless.

As he was immersed in his joy, Second Uncle suddenly appeared before him with a smile, "Congratulations! You’ve broken through to Divinity Transformation at such a young age; the future looks promising!"

Zhou immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Second Uncle.

If not for Second Uncle, who knew how much longer it would take to break through to Divinity Transformation, especially with the help just now, which he remembered dearly.

"Thank you!" Zhou said.

Second Uncle raised his hand to help Zhou up, saying, "This is all due to your own efforts, unrelated to others."

In terms of talent, disposition, and ways of dealing with matters, Zhou was the most outstanding he had ever seen.

Sometimes he even wanted to take him as a disciple, but it was a bit late.

On second thought, if Zhou were not Mo Xingjian’s disciple, he’d still be trapped in the third coffin.

"Rest for a while. Once you’ve gathered your breath, I’ll take you back to the academy to fetch something, and then we’ll head to the borderlands," Second Uncle said.

Zhou nodded. After all, two years ago, Uncle had mentioned this.

He was just a bit worried because Xuanyuan Shuo, a strong mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, had formidable means, and his disciples and adopted sons were all elite warriors, not to be underestimated.

Can I really defeat them?

Seeing Zhou’s apprehension, Second Uncle explained, "The mark in your sea of consciousness needs something from the borderlands to stimulate it and eradicate it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou hesitated no more and immediately said, "Sure, I’ll follow your lead."

...

"Zhou!"

Upon learning of Zhou’s return, Lu Yaoyao wasted no time and hurried over impatiently.

This left Lu Yuanzhi speechless; having just emerged from the secret realm, couldn’t she at least change her clothes first?

Over the years, that boy often came back; it’s not like you haven’t seen him.

If he hadn’t clarified your relationship, I’d sometimes have misgivings.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

When Zhou mentioned his breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, Lu Yaoyao’s eyes were full of admiration, almost crescent-shaped with her smile.

The original [so annoying] above her head had directly turned into [so powerful].

"By the way, where’s Li?" Zhou asked.

A year ago, when they came back, Li Daoxuan had successfully grasped the rudiments of his realm, and they had celebrated together.

Lu Yaoyao blinked and replied crisply, "Returned to the sect!"

Zhou was stunned.

Lu Yaoyao had to explain that during the Five Sects war, he left the Eastern Domain to comprehend his realm in the Vast Mansion.

Years had passed, and he had finally made progress, so he wanted to return and have a look, and also resolve a long-held wish.

The rest of the time would be spent focusing entirely on enriching his realm, striving to achieve a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation as soon as possible.

Zhou understood after hearing this.

"Then why haven’t you thought about going back?" Zhou asked.

Speaking of which, Lu Yaoyao hadn’t returned for several years, and last time, after he and Third Brother went back, Master specifically inquired.

Even Senior Brother He Han had blocked the entrance to the house.

Lu Yaoyao shook her head, looking at Zhou, "Master Lu treats me well, and Senior Brother Yan told me not to waste the opportunity. Besides, I was waiting for you to come back; wherever you are, I will be."

Zhou’s face turned a bit awkward upon hearing this, but his heart felt warm.

After some thought, he told her about heading to the borderlands next.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao immediately insisted on going with him without a second thought.

"I was worried about this. The secret realm at the academy..."

"I know, but the borderlands have..." Lu Yaoyao interrupted Zhou but suddenly halted her words.

Zhou looked puzzled, "Have what?"

Lu Yaoyao pouted, "I just remembered something; anyway, I’m going with you. If you don’t take me, I’ll go secretly."

Zhou sighed, looking at her stubbornness, and sometimes felt helpless dealing with her.

...

And back at her Cave Mansion, Lu Yaoyao quietly took out a booklet with drawings of Big Mama, Second Mama, and Third Mama.

But at this moment, her expression was solemn. She turned the booklet upside down and slowly opened the first page.

What appeared before her eyes was a middle-aged man, slightly ragged in appearance, with a weathered face, sunken eyes, and dim gaze, carrying a broken sword on his back and holding tightly onto a five or six-year-old girl.

Lu Yaoyao silently stared, her lips gently biting, especially seeing the girl’s eyes filled with fear and unease, as if recalling something, she remained silent for a long time.
