Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Divine Thought Incarnation, Prison’s Bottom Level, Cyan Hall

Looking at the flourishing national destiny displayed on the Star Disc.

The white-haired woman’s expression was one of shock and uncertainty.

Before this mysterious being had passed the Thunder Tribulation, the national destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty had actually been in a state of obvious decline!

This was a secret known only to a few high-ranking individuals.

For the past several decades, the Great Xia Dynasty had been plagued by countless demons, frequent turmoil, rampant banditry, and the chaos sown by Demon Sects!

The Imperial Dynasty’s fortune had plummeted again and again!

The once prosperous and flourishing national destiny had been showing clear signs of collapse!

But after this person’s breakthrough, the entire Great Xia Dynasty’s national destiny surged dramatically!

Its strength was now comparable to the era of the Late Emperor Xia’s rule!

’I can’t see it clearly, nor can I understand it!’

At this moment, the Saintess of the Fate Peeping Pavilion—hailed as the one most likely to surpass the first Pavilion Master in the art of prying into celestial secrets—

could not help but rub her brow in confusion.

’And even after activating the Fate Peeping Pavilion’s Ancestral Artifact, I still can’t determine this person’s true identity!’

’Did someone conceal the Celestial Secret for him? Or does he possess the means, or some kind of treasure, to do it himself?’

The Saintess of the Fate Peeping Pavilion murmured softly, her gaze turning toward the Great Xia Prison.

...

After passing the Thunder Tribulation, Su Bai first used Red Gold Speed to rapidly distance himself from the prison where he had faced the ordeal.

Only then did he secretly return to the prison.

Back in his personal quarters.

Su Bai’s body had now grown to nearly three meters tall, and he radiated a vast, powerful aura.

His body was adorned with a multitude of intricate patterns!

Ancient and powerful!

After slightly regulating his aura, Su Bai focused his thoughts.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Following a series of crisp sounds, Su Bai’s body gradually shrank, eventually returning to its original size!

Having passed the Thunder Tribulation and broken through to the Innate Great Realm, Su Bai’s physique had grown tremendously!

His Divine Spirit had also grown a great deal!

His overall condition was unexpectedly good!

Besides his Golden Body Technique evolving into the [First Immortal Golden Body Transformation], Su Bai’s other Body Cultivation Techniques had also improved significantly under the tempering of the Thunder Tribulation!

The [Great Demon Burning Evil Body] he had obtained from Black Lotus Sect Elder Chen Qing gained tens of thousands more Experience Points!

The [Nine-Turns Demon Devouring Skill] from the Soul-devouring Demon Sect villain, Wang Lingxiao, gained a full hundred thousand-plus Experience Points!

As for his other miscellaneous Body Cultivation Techniques, they too had made noticeable progress!

All in all, the rewards Su Bai reaped from this breakthrough were immense!

If he had to name the single greatest gain, it would undoubtedly be the astonishing transformation of his Golden Body Technique!

[Cultivation Technique: First Immortal Golden Body Transformation! (Seventh Grade) Realm: Returning to the Essence (600,000)]

It had not only evolved from the previous [Golden Body Technique] into the [First Immortal Golden Body Transformation], with its name changing, but it also seemed to have become independent, surpassing the original system of the Golden Body Technique!

Furthermore, its grade had also risen from the original Fifth Grade to Seventh Grade!

Its power had increased immensely!

The amount of Experience Points had also skyrocketed from the original 100,000 to a full 600,000!

Seeing the information displayed on the panel, Su Bai himself was a bit shocked!

His eyes flickered as a thought crossed his mind.

’First Immortal Golden Body Transformation?’

’Does this mean there’s a higher Second Immortal Golden Body Transformation?’

’And even... a Third Transformation!’

If his speculation was correct,

then this fully transformed Immortal Golden Body was already Seventh Grade at only its First Transformation!

Wouldn’t the subsequent Second and Third Transformations be at least Eighth Grade?

Perhaps even Ninth Grade!?

After calming down, Su Bai thought carefully and recalled that the Golden Body Technique’s strange transformation had occurred after its Experience Points reached 300,000!

Then, after Su Bai absorbed a bolt of Golden Purple Thunderbolt, the Experience Points for the [First Immortal Golden Body Transformation] surged once again!

That’s what brought it all the way up to 600,000!

BZZZZ!!!

At this moment, Su Bai looked at the intricate patterns that had appeared on his body and activated them just slightly.

His entire body immediately transformed, growing to three meters tall again!

The myriad of ancient, intricate patterns flickered with a rhythmic golden light, as if ancient gods and demons were reawakening!

Resonating with one another!

SCHWING!!

Su Bai reached out and swiped. A golden brilliance flowed between his knuckles, and it was as if he had torn through the void itself, producing a series of rumbles!

And in the empty air before him, a golden claw mark was left behind!

It lingered for a long time!

’Such incredible power!’

Su Bai’s Heart Spirit was shaken. He quickly erased the claw mark, his heart filled with immense joy!

Within that golden claw mark, Su Bai could feel a destructive aura that belonged to the heavenly thunder!

Its formidable power far exceeded Su Bai’s expectations!

’Now that the Golden Body Technique has transformed to the Seventh Grade, I’m afraid it has become my strongest offensive ability!’

Su Bai sighed in pleasant surprise after carefully experiencing it.

The power of that one claw swipe had already surpassed his previous Divine Thought attacks!

One could only imagine what would happen years from now, when his physique reached its absolute limit!

He could annihilate any enemy with a single punch!

No matter what Thousand Transformations they used!

His own flesh would be invincible!

He would sweep away all before him!

Just thinking about it was actually a little exciting!

Coming back to his senses, Su Bai checked the current strength of his Divine Thoughts.

And he was amazed by what he found!

His Divine Thoughts also seemed to have undergone some sort of astonishing transformation!

In his mind, the lake representing the Power of Divine Thought had expanded several times over!

It was like a rushing ocean current!

Only then did he realize that after passing the Thunder Tribulation, not only had his Body Cultivation Techniques grown significantly, but his [Demon Taming Technique], which he had already cultivated to the Returning to the True Realm, had also—

undergone a distinct transformation!

The Demon Taming Technique had now become: [Demon Taming Technique (Seventh Grade) Realm: Returning to the Essence (300,000)]

This was what caused his Divine Thoughts to skyrocket!

’Could it be... that the final Divine Thunder caused the Demon Taming Technique to undergo this strange transformation?’

After careful consideration, Su Bai had a guess!

Then, to Su Bai’s somewhat shocked expression, a figure that looked exactly like him coalesced from the lake of Divine Thoughts!

It sat cross-legged before him.

’This is... Divine Thought Transformation!’

Looking at the version of himself before him, Su Bai was suddenly overjoyed!

With King Zhenyue’s memories, Su Bai naturally understood.

This was a special ability that one could only possess after their Divine Soul Power reached a certain stage of strength!

Simply put, even if Su Bai’s physical body were to be destroyed in the future, as long as a remnant of his Divine Spirit remained, he could be resurrected!

This kind of ability was far more powerful than things like Soul Transfer, Body Exchange, or Possession!

Much more powerful!

Moreover, the special functions of Divine Spirit Transformation went far beyond just that!

With but a thought from Su Bai,

the transformed Su Bai passed directly through the prison’s special walls and into the corridor.

"Haha! Our prison has another Martial Arts Great Power! In the future, the competition for our Prison Guard positions is probably going to be fierce. It’ll be a highly sought-after job!"

"You can say that again!"

"My old man just sent me a letter. Said some rich merchant gave him several thousand taels of silver! Just wanted me to pull some strings to get his son in here as a Prison Guard!"

"Said it was to ’build character’! Haha!"

In the corridor, two middle-aged Prison Guards from the B-Class Prison walked past Su Bai with their arms around each other’s shoulders, laughing and talking.

They didn’t notice Su Bai’s figure at all!

’It seems that Martial Artists with weaker Divine Soul Power can’t see through my Divine Thought Body!’

Su Bai watched the departing Prison Guards, lost in thought.

Then, his figure flickered, and a moment later, he entered the A-Class Prison!

Curious, Su Bai continued deeper!

Until he reached the prison’s lowest level!

A Cyan Hall came into view!
