Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Once Yang Qing’s nascent soul had attained a respectable amount of strength, it transformed back to the fifteen years old boy look. Following which, it transformed into a streak of light which burst straight into its cosmic form. Together, they attempted to push open the gate that led to the attainment of the Immortal Soul stage.

At this moment, countless scenes flashed across Yang Qing’s mind. But none of them could take away his focus from the task at hand.

Memories of his time back at the Cloud Water Cave flooded into his mind. Thoughts about his childhood sweetheart, Fang Ting, also infiltrated his mind.

Memories about how Cloud Water Cave was burnt, about the uncertainty in Fang Ting’s situation and about how his life was transformed in an instant were flashed in front of his eyes.

Following which, he was rescued by his Master, Lin Feng and given the opportunity to learn under Lin Feng.

Yang Qing could remember how he started with a lot of self-doubt before becoming increasing assured about his goals and his abilities. He became a lot more mature and confident under Lin Feng’s tutelage.

Following which, things took a nosedive as the facts behind the Water Cloud Cave incident unravelled. What impacted him the most was the reappearance of Fang Ting.

Just when both of them were beginning to enjoy their reunion, they had to face the tragic separation due to Fang Ting’s death.

A reunion after an extended separation was ironically melancholic.

Yang Qing’s world almost shattered when he saw Fang Ting’s figure disintegrating in the flames.

All of these images fleeted across Yang Qing’s mind. They were all deeply etched in his mind, yet they all seemed to hardly leave any impression in his head.

Such conflicting experiences were surprisingly harmonious within his head. He was extremely focused on his objective of attaining the Immortal Soul stage.

Yang Qing’s fused nascent soul and cosmic form passed through the Immortal Soul gate in the void and was being baptized by the laws of Nature.

His cosmic form disintegrated to form rune-like seeds. Every single seed was like a chaotic ball of energy. Within these balls of energy, one could notice a concentrated core of brilliance.

Following immediately, these balls of energies agglomerated to form a huge Taoist logo. The half-black and half-white logo rotated slowly in mid-air.

A gentle but confident voice resounded in the air as it disturbed the serenity within the void.

“All survivals are to pay their respect to Mount Yujing! The Yin and Yang of the Universe will determine the destiny of the galaxy just as the Sun and Moon dictate the Heaven and the Earth!”

This powerful voice was projected through the mighty Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation as it resonated within the void. After Sikong You and Shen Qifeng had heard Yang Qing’s words, they became even more resigned.

Li Yuanfang, who was controlling the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation from the center, revealed a rare smile. He spoke with a lightheartedness which was rarely seen, “Senior, congratulations on your attainment of the Immortal Soul stage.”

The Taoist logo made one revolution in the void before recovering the Scroll of the Blood River. Following which, the logo morphed into a human figure, which was none other than Yang Qing.

Yang Qing looked towards the center of the formation before speaking to Li Yuanfang, “Same here. Congratulations on your attainment as well.”

After finishing his words and nodding towards Li Yuanfang, Yang Qing made his way out of the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. It was as though Li Yuanfang could read his mind as he opened the gate before Yang Qing even reached the perimeter of the formation.

Surprisingly, Yang Qing did not look for Sikong You or Shen Qifeng right after he had emerged from the formation.

Instead he found the vicinity about him turning dark as the humongous Heavenly Demon Ape catapulted itself onto him from above him. The ape followed a parabolic trajectory as its muscles contracted to release a devastating aura.

It was none other than the Beast God Puppet which was at the Undying Demon Soul Third Level. After appearing above Yang Qing, it extended its claws as it attempted to strike its claws on Yang Qing!

Although the puppet was not as strong as the original ape itself, nor was it as strong as before its injury from the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, its claw was not something that could be parried by any cultivator that was below the Immortal Soul Third Level.

Most cultivators at the Immortal Soul Second Level would have been severely wounded if they were to receive a lunge from this puppet. It would be needless to say that any Immortal Soul First Level cultivators would instantly be killed from its attack!

Sikong You and Shen Qifeng had known that things would take a nosedive the moment Yang Qing chose to retreat into the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation to attempt to attain the Immortal Soul stage.

Both of them were pragmatic individuals and without hesitating, they secretly contacted King Yanluo and dictated the Beast God Puppet to launch an attack on Yang Qing while the Cang Blade was away.

However, Yang Qing could sense the attack from the ferocious Beast God Puppet and had transformed into the Taoist logo the moment he left the formation.

Above the humongous Taoist logo, two runic symbols which were golden and silver respectively flickered.

The golden symbol was burning brightly as the white flames surged, releasing smoke that appeared as black light in the void.

The silver symbol transformed into a pure black solid color as icy blue mist floated around it, releasing a cold white aura about it.

The two symbols intertwined as they revolved about the sky within the void, forming a humongous body of gas.

Within the body of gas, one could see a brilliant light radiating from its center. The fine balance of Yin and Yang resembled the first dawn after the birth of the universe.

Wherever the light shone, the spiritual energy within the void would split into Yin and Yang before intertwining again. The transformation was complex and imaginative – truly a remarkable work of God.

The light that shone from the gas body formed a powerful light screen which blocked the humongous hand of the Beast God Puppet.

Infuriated, the Beast God Puppet increased the amount of strength it packed into its claws as it released its anger upon the light screen. However, it seemed as though the light screen was impregnable.

Sikong You and Shen Qifeng became really worried as they saw how the Beast God Puppet was somewhat helpless against Yang Qing’s defence. In fact, everyone present was shocked. “Even though the Beast God Puppet was not the Undying Demon Soul Third Level Heavenly Demon Ape, an Immortal Soul First Level cultivator shouldn’t have been able to parry its attacks.”

“But this lad, who has just attained the Immortal Soul stage, had just proven all of us wrong!”

But then, once they connected the dots between Xiao Yan, Li Yuanfang and Yang Qing, all of their disbelief were quelled. “It shouldn’t have been that surprising. After all, they are all disciples of that individual...”

But the moment they thought of this, all of their faces revealed a bitter smile.

In the blink of an eye, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade had changed its direction and was flying towards the Beast God Puppet. Its new trajectory forced the Beast God Puppet to retreat from its original position.

And Yang Qing, who had taken on the form of the Taoist logo, made a round about the void before transforming into a streak of light that sped towards Sikong You and Shen Qifeng.

Sikong You and Shen Qifeng were shocked by how things had changed so rapidly as they began to make their retreat. However, the streak of light was so fast that Yang Qing had already reached where they were before they could do anything.

Yang Qing’s body burst into golden flames as he stared coldly at Shen Qifeng. The flame turned white in an instant as its black fume exuded an honorable radiance.

After entering the Realm of Cataclysmic Yang, Yang Qing had transformed into a white human torch. His words sounded explsove as Yang Qing spoke, “After the Conference, it has indeed been quite a while since we last met. But it seems like I am now the one who had improved a little bit more since then.”

As he spoke, Yang Qing extended his hands towards Shen Qifeng. Of course, Shen Qifeng would not go down that easily as he summoned his Brahmā Magic Pearl to protect himself.

The Brahmā Magic Pearl released a projection to defend Shen Qifeng. However, it was no match for Yang Qing’s attack as the projection fractured under the impact from Yang Qing’s hand. A destructive aura spreaded across the entire projection, releasing a loud shattering sound!

Shen Qifeng released a groan as the Brahmā Magic Pearl lost its original glow.

Shen Qifeng pointed at the center of his brows as he took a deep breath. A spiritual light flickered above his head as a humongous formation of symbols floated above his head. The formation casted white light downwards, enveloping Shen Qifeng.

The Samsara Sect’s Secret Technique, the Great Samsara Curse of the Nine Deaths!

Under the radiance from the white light, Shen Qifeng recovered quickly. Even his arm which was torn and smattered earlier began to regrow while the projection from the Brahmā Magic Pearl had began to strengthen again.

Despite seeing the changes to the battle situation, Yang Qing did not show any significant changes to his facial expressions as he held onto the Brahmā Magic Pearl’s light projection before exclaiming, “Nine Complete Yang Destructive Spell!”

Nine streaks of black light ascended into the skies like a dragon and descended like the sunset as they destroyed the Brahmā Magic Pearl’s light projection completely with their oscillatory motion!

The violent black light then went onto engulf Shen Qifeng, dismembering his immortal soul!

Shen Qifeng released an angry howl as he activated his second technique which would allow him to escape death. This time round, different from the Samsara of Life and Death, he would be employing the Samsara Sect’s strongest escape technique, the Mantra of the Rebirth of Samsara. This technique would allow him to be reborned back at the Samsara Sect.

However, it seemed like the powerful black light was imprisoning Shen Qifeng’s immortal soul. It had cut the connection between his immortal soul and the magic treasure back at the Samsara Sect’s secret location.

The vicious strength of the black light shook the void and murdered Shen Qifeng completely!

Seeing Shen Qifeng’s fate, Sikong You’s heart dropped. He decided to give up on any idea of saving Shen Qifeng as he took the opportunity to begin his retreat.

However, Yang Qing had already turned his head and acknowledged him, “Call it the impulsive nature of a newly commissioned Immortal Soul stage cultivator, but I do have a rather novel idea right now.”

“I was thinking...” The white flames and black smoke around his body vanished. Yang Qing retreated from the Realm of Cataclysmic Yang but the light screen on his body remained. “If I were to fully commit myself into a battle...without holding back at all...”

The light screen flickered as Yang Qing caught up with Sikong You. He transformed into a streak of light that revolved around the void as he avoided the attack from the Ferocious Ghost Temple. The temple could only chase after the streak of light along with Sikong You’s spells.

“How many cultivators at my cultivation level...” Yang Qing appeared in front of Sikong You out of nowhere as he spreaded his finger and planted his palm on the top of Sikong You’s head.

“Would actually stand a chance against me?”

It was the first time and the only time when Yang Qing had spoken such haughtily.

Following which, a light emerged from his palm, and it transformed into a powerful beam of light. The beam of light looked as though it could penetrate through the entire universe as it struck hard against Sikong You’s head!

This technique was called the Galaxy Beam!
