Immortal Refiner

Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye, during which the Azure Ridge Domain became exceptionally lively.

Numerous cultivators flocked from outer domains to participate in the Lingyun Sect’s upcoming Divine Transformation Realm Grand Ceremony.

Among them were not only core formation realm true lords but also several nascent soul realm true monarchs—overlord-grade cultivators who reigned supreme in their respective domains.

Upon arriving in the Azure Ridge Domain, these powerful figures adopted an unusually low profile, wary of causing any trouble that might inadvertently offend the Lingyun Sect.

This was only a fraction of the cultivators. Many more, due to the short notice, couldn’t reach the Azure Ridge Domain from other great domains in time.

Numerous cultivators lamented their inability to witness the legendary divine transformation great power in person, declaring it the greatest regret of their lives.

Of course, their regret stemmed primarily from missing the opportunity to hear this divine transformation great power expound on the dao and preach the dharma.

”What a pity! Our domain is too far from the Azure Ridge Domain. Even if I traveled at full speed, I couldn’t arrive within thirty days.”

”Exactly! Though we could use the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild’s teleportation formations, the cost is exorbitant—far beyond what I can afford.”

”I truly wish I could witness the majesty of a divine transformation great power!”

”...”

Regardless of their regrets, the Divine Transformation Realm Grand Ceremony finally commenced.

On this day, the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate swung wide open.

Countless foreign cultivators flocked to the sect. Li Qing had set no restrictions for the ceremony; anyone who wished to attend could listen to his daoist art, even rogue cultivators in the qi refining stage.

It could be said that nearly seven-tenths of the Azure Ridge Domain’s cultivators had gathered, and when combined with those from outer domains, the entire Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate area was a sea of people, an utterly spectacular sight.

”The Feng Family of Longevity Valley congratulates Senior Limitless on achieving great perfection in his daoist art and possessing unparalleled divine power!”

”The Tang Clan...”

The clan heads of the cultivation clans in the Azure Ridge Domain arrived with lavish gifts, their sincerity evident.

No one attending the Divine Transformation Realm Grand Ceremony came empty-handed, and the Lingyun Sect accepted all congratulatory gifts without reservation.

Even grander gifts were yet to come. A stout cultivator soared through the air.

”I am Tianbao of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild, here to congratulate Senior Limitless on his profound cultivation and ascension to the Divine Transformation Realm!”

The newcomer was True Monarch Tianbao, who had met Li Qing long before his nascent soul formation. Who could have imagined that after so many years, Li Qing’s cultivation would have reached the Divine Transformation Realm? His progress was beyond miraculous!

At that moment, a carefree laugh echoed from within the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate.

”Ha ha ha! Fellow Daoist Tianbao, you’re too kind! Do we really need congratulatory gifts between us?”

Accompanying the laughter, a tall, imposing figure strode from the void. With each step, he covered dozens of meters, employing the Ground Shrinking Technique.

All the cultivators present lowered their heads in awe, recognizing the Ground Shrinking Technique—a unique hallmark of the divine transformation realm.

While some nascent soul realm cultivators might dedicate themselves to mastering this divine ability, the immense effort required often outweighed the benefits.

True Monarch Tianbao’s face lit up with surprise and joy upon seeing Li Qing. He hadn’t expected Li Qing, now a divine transformation great power, to personally greet him.

”Greetings, Senior Limitless!” True Monarch Tianbao clasped his hands respectfully and presented his congratulatory gift.

”This is a 1,500-year-old Ginseng Essence Grass, capable of adding a hundred years to your lifespan!”

Lifespan-extending spirit herbs were indeed excellent congratulatory gifts. Even at the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild, such herbs were exceedingly rare and valuable.

Though Li Qing had no need for lifespan extension, he nodded and said, ”Heh, your thoughtfulness is appreciated, Fellow Daoist Tianbao. I thank you.”

Li Qing didn’t adopt the aloof demeanor of a divine transformation realm cultivator. After all, Tianbao was an old friend. Without his earlier assistance, Li Qing might have struggled to even reach the nascent soul realm.

Sensing Li Qing’s special treatment, many cultivators cast envious glances at True Monarch Tianbao, surprised by the close relationship between the two.

Soon, old acquaintances of Li Qing seized the opportunity to fly over and offer their congratulations.

”Gui Li of the Ghost Sword Sect greets Senior Limitless. This is the inner core of a transformation great demon from the North Sea, offered in congratulations for your advancement to the divine transformation realm!”

”Bright King Valley of the Flame Domain...”

”...”

Among the crowd, a slender figure floated gracefully through the air, riding a beam of moonlight. Her aura was ethereal and refined, her features breathtakingly beautiful.

”Moonchase Palace congratulates Senior Limitless on achieving great perfection in your divine art!”

Seeing her, Li Qing smiled wryly. ”Hanyue, why must you be so formal with me?”

At his words, a gentle ripple stirred in Liu Hanyue’s beautiful eyes, and a warm smile curved her lips.

”Brother Li, congratulations on achieving your long-cherished goal of advancing to the divine transformation realm.”

”I fear I can only look up to you from afar now!”

Li Qing shook his head. ”Cultivating the Dao is like water flowing to its natural course—too much force is as bad as too little.”

”With your exceptional inheritance and outstanding aptitude, you’ll undoubtedly have the chance to glimpse the divine transformation realm in the future.”

In recent years, Liu Hanyue and Li Qing had occasionally exchanged spirit letters, maintaining a close relationship that could even be described as that of kindred spirits.

Liu Hanyue had originally believed that achieving nascent soul formation would bring them closer. Little did she know that Li Qing, without a word, had once again left her far behind.

The divine transformation realm—even hearing the name of this realm filled her with a sense of powerlessness.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qing slowly ascended into the sky under countless gazes.

The faint aura of the divine transformation realm radiated from him, sending tremors through the hearts of everyone present and eliciting expressions of genuine awe.

”Thank you, fellow daoists, for attending. This Li considers his advancement to the divine transformation realm a stroke of good fortune.”

”In my joy, I will share some of my experiences and insights from my cultivation journey today. If any of you find fault with my words, please do not hesitate to correct me!”

Correcting the cultivation insights of a divine transformation great power?

Not a single person dared to step forward. Who among them could possibly be qualified?

Seeing this, Li Qing condensed a three-colored lotus dao platform from heavenly spirit fire and slowly seated himself upon it.

He began to expound on the Dao, starting from the qi refining stage and gradually explaining his unique insights into each realm.

Moreover, Li Qing had spent years studying hundreds of cultivation techniques in his quest to create his own daoist art, delving into various supreme-grade cultivation arts. His knowledge was truly vast and profound.

Whenever he touched upon the crucial points of a cultivation technique, listeners would often show expressions of sudden enlightenment.

He progressed from the qi refining stage all the way to the nascent soul realm, and even generously shared his experiences in advancing to the divine transformation realm.

Most of those present benefited immensely, gaining significant insights.

Some cultivators who had been stuck at bottlenecks for years were so moved that they immediately began minor breakthroughs on the spot.

The gains from listening to this exposition were immense, akin to consuming a precious spirit herb.

Across the Lingyun Sect’s territory, waves of spiritual energy surged as hundreds of cultivators broke through, each advancing a small step forward. Among them were even cultivators in the foundation establishment realm!
