Chapter 10 The Qi of Heaven, Protecting You to the Pinnacle

“This Refining God Sutra is indeed useful...”

Jiang Minghan glanced at Su Ling, who was lying on the ground, lifeless.

He shook his head lightly, and the golden light in his hand gradually faded.

Only a tiny spark, like a firefly, continued to flicker in his palm.

This was Su Ling’s system.

At the moment Su Ling’s soul dissipated, Jiang Minghan captured it effortlessly.

He had already explored many of Su Ling’s memories and understood his background.

Although Su Ling was a transmigrator, he came from a different Earth, one very different from Jiang Minghan’s original Earth.

However, this distinction didn’t matter to Jiang Minghan.

“Ding, sensing a strand of special energy, analyzing...”

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Jiang Minghan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Frankly, he was surprised that his system could detect the energy of another system.

Could it be that the two systems were not on the same level?

Or maybe it had nothing to do with the system and was simply because he captured this special energy?

“Never mind, the reason isn’t important.”

Not wanting to overthink it, Jiang Minghan shrugged and focused on the flickering light in his palm.

“Ding, analysis complete, current energy can be absorbed to obtain a strand of Heaven’s Qi.”

The system prompt sounded again.

“If it can be absorbed, then let’s absorb it. No point in keeping it.”

Jiang Minghan felt no attachment to it.

Even though Su Ling was a transmigrator with a system, he was still a good-for-nothing.

Jiang Minghan didn’t think the system would be of much use to him.

“A strand of Heaven’s Qi, what could that be?”

The next moment, as the special energy was absorbed by the system, Jiang Minghan felt a profound aura envelop him.

It was hard to describe this feeling, as if everything in the world had become one with him.

The flowers, grass, wind, water, rhythm, and flowing spiritual energy around him all felt like extensions of his body.

“Ding, Heaven’s Qi fusion successful, acquired the Heavenly Dao Body. With enough Heaven’s Qi, it can further evolve into the Heavenly Dao Domain.”

“Within the Heavenly Dao Domain, the host can wield the power of the heavens.”

Hmm?

Hearing the system’s explanation, Jiang Minghan was momentarily stunned, then clicked his tongue.

“This is truly a treasure, it can evolve into the Heavenly Dao Domain.”

Wielding the power of the heavens?

If he could wield the power of the heavens, wouldn’t that make him invincible?

Though the amount of Heaven’s Qi required must be enormous.

“Attribute panel.”

Jiang Minghan then called up his attribute panel.

The familiar light blue interface appeared before him again, but it had changed significantly since last time.

Her skin became more translucent, even her blood vessels were visible, resembling jade.

But the strangest was the glowing mark on her forehead.

An ancient and mysterious mark was slowly floating there.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A torrent of inheritance information was flooding into her mind as her physique awakened.

“Devouring Celestial Demon Body...”

“So this is why my cultivation regressed. All these years of hard cultivation were in vain, merely nourishing my physique...”

After a long time,

Su Mingyue opened her eyes, her expression complicated.

She felt a mix of emotions.

She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

The bitterness had passed, but there was still unease, more a sense of solving a problem and feeling blank.

According to the inheritance, the Devouring Celestial Demon Body was extremely fearsome and domineering. Once it emerged, it meant killing until no one dared claim supremacy, even stepping over the corpses of young kings to reach the pinnacle.

This meant that she was destined to face the world as an enemy.

This physique was extremely rare.

Even in ancient history, it had only been mentioned a few times.

“I have no choice but to either remain a cripple or walk this path of no return...”

Su Mingyue sighed softly, calming her emotions.

She foresaw what lay ahead.

Cultivating the Devouring Celestial Demon Body required both celestial and demonic cultivation.

The method for cultivating demonic abilities was fearsome and brutal.

In fact, it could be said to go against heavenly principles, requiring the devouring of numerous Tianjiao’s essence.

“Young Master Jiang, you’re willing to protect me for a lifetime of peace. In return, why shouldn’t I help you reach the pinnacle of this world?”

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue’s beautiful face broke into a smile.

Her previously dim room brightened with her smile.

She truly was a beauty capable of toppling a city and then a kingdom.

***

The next day, outside the Su residence.

A dozen riders on scaled, horned, cloud-breathing beasts were preparing to leave.

Five golden divine steeds, pulling a black jade carriage, stood to the side.

“Young Master Jiang, please take care.”

Su Mingyue, in white, her figure elegant and stunning, looked at Jiang Minghan, lightly blinking with a playful expression.

She didn’t mention her physique’s matter to Jiang Minghan, not because she didn’t trust him.

But because such matters were deeply complicated, telling him would only bring unnecessary trouble.

“Mingyue, no need to see me off.”

Jiang Minghan smiled lightly, “Upon returning to the family, I’ll have the opportunity to search the archives. If I find anything, I’ll inform you first.”

With that, the black jade carriage and the beasts took to the sky, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

“Young Master Jiang, I’m sorry for keeping this from you...”

Watching Jiang Minghan leave, Su Mingyue’s smile faded as she spoke softly to herself.
