256 Five Elements Spiritual Springs split into two, transforming from 256 to 512 Springs. Now, Wang Xiaoqiang had a total of 712 Spiritual Springs. Subsequently, subtle changes occurred in his body, his demeanor gradually resembling that of True Person of Taiyi, exuding a sense of humility, simplicity, and authenticity.

True Transformation!

Divinity Transformation!

Wang Xiaoqiang had reached the realm of Divinity Transformation.

He concluded the Dual Cultivation.

Ye Qingcheng stared intensely at Wang Xiaoqiang, excitedly asking, "Little Qiang, have you reached the realm of Divinity Transformation?"

"Exactly!" Wang Xiaoqiang declared spiritedly, "I have transformed into divinity!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes sparkled. Her man had achieved Divinity Transformation, which placed him on the same level as the revered ancestors like the Sect Leader of Taiyi, True Person of Taiyi! Across the world, those Cultivators who had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm were countable on one's fingers, including Taiyi Sect Leader, True Person of Taiyi; Penglai Immortal Sect's Leader, Penglai Immortal; and Mount Hua Sword Sect's Leader, Li Gufeng. There might be one or two Evil Cultivators who had attained this realm, but they were rare beings indeed. Now, there was one more—Wang Xiaoqiang.

True Person of Taiyi, Penglai Immortal, and Li Gufeng, all of them were of advanced age, having endured a life of arduous cultivation to finally reach Divinity Transformation, while Wang Xiaoqiang, merely in his early twenties, had attained this level of cultivation. If this were known, he would certainly be considered a demon spawn!

"Qingcheng, this matter must not be disclosed. It is enough that you and I know it," Wang Xiaoqiang solemnly advised.

"Yes," Ye Qingcheng nodded seriously, "Rest assured, Little Qiang, I will not speak of it to anyone."

Wang Xiaoqiang then released a hundred Spiritual Springs he had just separated from his body, and said to Ye Qingcheng, "See, I am only at the Mid Golden Core Stage right now..."

Ye Qingcheng scanned him with her Divine Sense. Wang Xiaoqiang was still at the Early Golden Core Stage. She was surprised at how swiftly he could conceal his cultivation base. While curious, she did not dare to voice her question, instead nestling her vibrant body against Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, saying coyly, "Oh, I understand. I am yours now; wouldn't I think of your interests?"

"Mhm," Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, mischievously moved to caress a delicate area, as he said softly, "Qingcheng, soon no one will dare to look down on you, or bully you. I must cultivate swiftly to strive for a breakthrough to the Void Returning State soon. By then, even Sects as grand as the Taiyi Sect will not be able to govern me..."

"..." Ye Qingcheng's face changed drastically upon hearing these words. She looked up at Wang Xiaoqiang with her captivating eyes, suddenly realizing that he seemed a changed man. With a note of alarm, she exclaimed, "Little Qiang, you... you aren't planning to oppose Taiyi Sect, are you... you're not going to betray your own Sect..."

"Qingcheng... The Taiyi Sect was merely a support for me before. I am a person who cherishes freedom and dislikes being restrained. Thus, once my cultivation surpasses True Person of Taiyi, I will no longer heed anyone, including Taiyi Sect. From then on, my actions will follow my heart..."

"Mhm," Ye Qingcheng's mood surged with excitement, thinking about how her man would soon become the most invincible being on Earth. What a magnificent feat that would be!

Thinking this, Ye Qingcheng also felt a surge of excitement.

Wang Xiaoqiang, having just broken through, had an abundance of rampant Spiritual Power needing release.

At that moment, he couldn't help but extend his hand towards those tightly pressed legs.

Ye Qingcheng cooperatively loosened her tightly pressed legs, her arms willingly wrapping around Wang Xiaoqiang's neck, her petal-like lips slightly lifting, meeting Wang Xiaoqiang's.

...

The next day.

The top ten contestants from this generation's grand competition of the Taiyi Sect set off together under the leadership of an Elder named Liu, heading towards Penglai Immortal Island.

According to tradition, all disciples of the Taiyi Sect had to come forth to send them off, just like seeing off soldiers heading into battle, including the Sect Leader, True Person of Taiyi.

"As I see you off beyond the village,

There's a message I need to convey,

Though the flowers are blooming brilliantly,

Do not pick the wildflowers by the roadside,

Remember my affection,

Remember my love,

Remember I'm here waiting every day,

I'm waiting for your return,

Never ever forget about me,

Never ever forget about me.

"Ye Qingcheng escorted Wang Xiaoqiang out, humming this song by Deng Lijun all the way, intentionally or not."

"Okay, stop singing. I'm going to a competition, not a matchmaking session. Why so cautious..." Wang Xiaoqiang turned his face, staring at Ye Qingcheng with a smile.

"Penglai Immortal Sect has more female disciples than male disciples, and each one is beautiful. There's also the Mount Hua Sword Sect, rumored to have a stunning beauty. It's hard to guarantee you won't be tempted. I'm just reminding you... don't pick the wildflowers by the roadside..." Ye Qingcheng chided Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Hey, Qingcheng, haven't you heard what they say? 'Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers'..."

"Heh, go ahead and pick them then. Just be careful, women from outside are not clean. Watch out for catching a disease..."

"Enough with the nonsense, just wait for me safely at Taiyi Sect..." Wang Xiaoqiang embraced Ye Qingcheng's slender waist.

"Mm, just be careful! Especially with Jiangg Tianpeng, Jiangg Yulong's uncle. I think he will definitely try something against you..." Ye Qingcheng said worriedly.

"Relax, Jiangg Tianpeng is only in the Nascent Soul Mid Stage. With my current cultivation base, I can easily kill him in seconds."

"Mmm, but the Martial World is full of perils, it's still good to be cautious." Ye Qingcheng advised.

During the conversation, the two had arrived at the square of Taiyi Sect. At this moment, the square was filled with disciples of Taiyi Sect, the Sect Leader True Person of Taiyi, Four Deputy Sect Masters, and Six Grand Elders were also present. A table was set up in the square with a red cloth, on which a pot of Gentle Breeze Brew, a unique beverage brewed by the Taiyi Sect, was placed.

Among the top ten disciples, Wang Xiaoqiang was the last to arrive.

However, his lateness did not cause any discontent among the sect masters; after all, all of Taiyi Sect's hopes in this grand sect competition rested solely on Wang Xiaoqiang. Winning the grand sect competition could greatly enhance Taiyi Sect's reputation.

Now, Wang Xiaoqiang was the favorite in the eyes of True Person of Taiyi, the apple of Taiyi Sect's eye.

Seeing that the top ten had gathered, officials immediately opened the pot of Gentle Breeze Brew and poured twenty bowls of the liquor.

Then, the True Person of Taiyi made a few formal remarks and raised a cup, saying to the top ten disciples, "Come, this is the farewell drink prepared by Taiyi Sect for you. Drink up."

The top ten disciples picked up their cups and drank together with the True Person of Taiyi.

After drinking the farewell liquor, the True Person of Taiyi talked briefly with Wang Xiaoqiang alone before letting the top ten disciples follow Elder Liu on their journey.

Elder Liu took the lead and soared into the sky.

The other nine disciples also soared into the sky, including Qii Jingtian and Zhao Wushuang.

Sky Manipulation consumes a lot of spiritual power. Although Wang Xiaoqiang also mastered the ability, he did not want to waste spiritual power, so he stepped on two Spiritual Springs and flew into the sky, following the ten people.

Qii Jingtian had participated in the last grand sect competition but didn't rank in the top ten. However, because of his participation last time, he was quite familiar with Elder Liu, who was in charge of the event. After flying into the sky, Qii Jingtian sped up to catch up with Elder Liu and struck up a conversation with him.

Among this group of eleven, Zhao Wushuang and Wang Xiaoqiang were certainly the most eye-catching. Zhao Wushuang was the only female among the top ten disciples, extremely beautiful, and dressed in a flowing white dress today, resembling an ethereal immortal fairy. She maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, not speaking a word to anyone and keeping everyone at a distance.

Wang Xiaoqiang was the champion of this sect's internal competition, and participating in the grand sect competition this time, he was laden with high hopes by the Sect Leader True Person of Taiyi, making him the focus of this journey.

The other eight male disciples, seeing Qii Jingtian cozying up to Elder Liu and Zhao Wushuang's unapproachable demeanor, didn't dare to approach her. So, they gathered around Wang Xiaoqiang instead.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who was easy to talk to, chatted with the eight disciples when they approached him. Among them, one named Fang Ce, who had also participated in the grand sect competition last year, began talking vividly about interesting incidents from the competition. When he mentioned how the Penglai Immortal Sect had more female disciples, making up seven layers, while male disciples only made up three layers, the other seven male disciples showed looks of longing. For them, participating in this competition was not only about securing a good rank but also about finding Dual Cultivation partners, as they had heard that the women of Penglai Immortal Sect practiced a Youth Retaining Art known as "Time of Youth Scripture," which could make women look increasingly younger and more beautiful.

"You know, Mount Hua Sword Sect has a stunningly beautiful female disciple whose beauty is unparalleled..." As he said this, Fang Ce suddenly glanced unconsciously at the flying Zhao Wushuang ahead, then lowered his voice... "It's said, even prettier than someone of Zhao Wushuang's caliber..."

"Prettier than Zhao Wushuang, tsk tsk~~"

"Tsk tsk~~ How beautiful that must be..."

Before Fang Ce could finish, the other seven male disciples let out sounds of admiration.

"This female disciple is named Lin Xianshu..." Fang Ce continued, "It's said her cultivation isn't bad either. In this edition of Mount Hua Sword Sect's internal competition, she made it to the semi-finals, so, haha, we all have the fortune to meet this legendary beauty of unrivaled charm..."

"Haha, feast our eyes then..." someone excitedly said.

"I really hope I get to match against her, don't they say, 'No fight, no acquaintance'? Haha..." someone began to fantasize.

"I advise you all, don't get your hopes up, I've heard that Lin Xianshu is even harder to approach than the one ahead..." Fang Ce said, nodding his chin towards the flying Zhao Wushuang.

"Shh~~" Everyone sighed in disappointment upon hearing this. Being from different sects made approaching difficult enough, and if she was even harder to approach than Zhao Wushuang, then there was truly no hope.

Fang Ce changed the subject, "However, Lin Xianshu is very proud but also adores the strong, so if someone tops this grand sect competition, they might catch Lin Xianshu's interest..."

Everyone was visibly moved by these words, involuntarily casting their gazes towards Wang Xiaoqiang, who hadn't spoken yet. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
