Chapter 398: Becoming a Deity

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

Two years later.

Within one of the cultivation edens of Crimson Dust Island, circulating Deity Seals enshrouded the surface of an enclosed space. Within the space, crystals balls sat atop sixteen pillars which surrounded the edges of the space, each of which contained a red tooth. Xue Ying say cross-legged in the middle of the pillars’ formation, while the embryo lay inside a pool of watery blood beside him.

This was a cultivation eden reserved for personal disciples, which was the best one available. As for the Sacred Masted? As he was a powerful existence, he had no need for such a place. As such, there was no place that had been reserved for his exclusive use.

“Divide!” Suddenly, an insubstantial shadow separated itself from Xue Ying’s body. This shadow looked just like Xue Ying and proceeded to immediately enter the embryo next to him.

“Reborn.” Xue Ying had split his soul in two and then let the half he’d split off enter the embryo. The moment the other half of his soul entered the embryo, he felt warm and comfortable. Although the embryo still hadn’t matured yet, it was still perfectly capable of holding his soul. Moreover, it was perfectly compatible with his soul, since it had been specifically grown for him.

This feels a little bit strange. Even though he could feel his legs and arms, he couldn’t open his eyes and felt restricted due to being curled up in a fetal position.

“Time Immemorial Body.”

Xue Ying felt his embryonic body begin to change; bumps and holes began to appear on his body as it began to look like the Xue Ying seated next to it.

The embryo started to suck up an enormous amount of World Energy as its body transformed into a Transcendent level one. His Dantian Qi Sea then rapidly condensed Qi, and his body rapidly changed into that of the Time Immemorial Body. These two events caused the World Energy of Crimson Dust Island to surge endlessly. Xue Ying did not stop and used the momentum of breakthroughs to raise his embryonic body’s Time Immemorial Body to the second level.

Back when he’d been trapped inside of the Sacred Sorcerer Camellia, Xue Ying had taken advantage of the Mirage Deity Heart to reach the second level of the Time Immemorial Body. Now, however, he had the True Meaning of the World, a grade one True Meaning that was extremely compatible with the Time Immemorial Body. Now that it had reached the third stage, it was sufficient for him to raise the Time Immemorial Body to the third level.

However, Xue Ying was already unbeatable in the Xia Clan world. Thus, there was no need for him to hastily advance to the third level of the Time Immemorial Body. Moreover, he still needed to conceal his power; even in front of his two senior apprentice brothers. Considering their cultivation levels, it would be easy for them to see through the aura that his third level Time Immemorial Body would emit.

Hua. The embryo split open.

An infant’s body immediately flew out of it. Afterward, it rapidly grew, until its body had become identical to the white clothed Xue Ying seated before it. Both of them were identical looking, the only difference being that one was clothed in white while the other was clothed in a starlight blue robe.

“My true body and avatar both have the same soul inside of them and the same flesh; there’s no different between us,” the two Xue Yings said simultaneously.

“Master is right; there’s truly no difference between them. If one of them dies, the other can still cultivate another avatar with the avatar technique,” Crimson Rock said, appearing next to Xue Ying.

At that moment, both of his souls began to rapidly recover.

As the True Meaning of the World could nourish and repair one’s soul, it wouldn’t take long for their souls to completely recover.

“Can you only have one true body and one avatar? Is it possible for someone to divide their soul in order to have a third, fourth, or even fifth avatar?” Xue Ying asked.

“I’ve heard that his majesty, the Bloodshed Emperor, has an avatar cultivation technique that allows him to cultivate two avatars, meaning that he has a total of three bodies.” Crimson Rock explained, “However, this technique is his own, and he has never divulged it to anybody else. No matter who asks him, he’s never willing to give the knowledge away. As far as I know, he’s the only person capable of cultivating two avatars. Or perhaps that’s just my ignorant, inexperienced self.”

“If you think of yourself as ignorant and inexperienced, what do I count as? At least you know that his majesty can cultivate three bodies.” Xue Ying laughed. “My spirit had already recovered from cultivating an avatar; I think it’s time to open my Deity Sea and finally become a Deity.”

Xue Ying, clothed in a starlight-blue robe, sat cross-legged in a vast prairie within the Xia Clan Word. The World Energy around him began to surge, separating him from his surroundings. The third stage of the True Meaning of the World truly was highly efficient at repairing one’s soul; his soul had fully recovered in only two days time.

“True Deity Heart, form.”

Hong, long, long~~~

The moment he said this, his soul began to transform. Invisible Laws of Profound Mysteries began to assimilate into his soul, which caused it to partially condense and dissipate repeatedly. As the integration of his soul and the Laws of Profound Mysteries from his Star Deity Heart continued, his soul gradually began to condense and stabilize.

A small person sat cross-legged inside of his sea of knowledge, its body emitting a faint light; it looked like a star subduing its surroundings.
