Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 307: The Legendary Heaven-Grade Divine Soul Hasn't Appeared in Millennia

Countless demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

In a small village nearby, mortals, regardless of what they were doing, instinctively knelt on one knee in the direction of Shen Mo.

Their faces were filled with awe.

They didn't understand what was happening but sensed an overwhelming presence in the distance, growing exponentially.

This aura swept far and wide.

Through towns, cities, sects, and even powerful religious orders, countless humans instinctively showed reverence.

In that moment, everyone intuitively understood:

A Nascent Soul cultivator had ascended to the Divine Transformation stage!

At the Jade Cauldron Sect.

In a secluded meditation chamber, incense burned, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance.

The atmosphere was rich with spiritual energy.

Sect Master Li Zhendao was seated cross-legged on a prayer mat, meditating.

When the overwhelming aura swept through, it immediately disturbed his inner peace, causing him to open his eyes.

"A newly ascended Divine Transformation cultivator?"

"But why does this aura make me feel so uneasy?"

"When I forged my Earth-grade Divine Soul, others didn't feel anything like this."

"Could it be... the legendary Heaven-grade Divine Soul?!"

Li Zhendao frowned deeply.

He couldn't discern who had achieved this breakthrough. Whether it would bring fortune or calamity was uncertain.

At the Supreme Purity Sect.

Mo Lingxiao was playing chess with Su Beifeng, discussing how to seize several industries belonging to the Jade Cauldron Sect.

At that moment, the oppressive aura swept through, causing both men to freeze mid-move.

"This aura…" Su Beifeng frowned.

Mo Lingxiao frowned even more deeply. "Yes, it's from a newly ascended Divine Transformation cultivator."

"But I'm certain there isn't a Nascent Soul peak cultivator in our Supreme Purity Sect who could break through to Divine Transformation right now."

Su Beifeng spoke in a low voice: "As far as I know, neither the Danhe Sect, the Jade Cauldron Sect, nor the Prefecture Governor's Mansion has anyone close to ascending either. They'd need at least another decade of arduous cultivation."

Mo Lingxiao sighed lightly. "Then this is troubling. Who on earth has ascended to the Divine Transformation stage?"

"Moreover, this aura feels far too unsettling."

"When I forged my Earth-grade Divine Soul, I don't recall causing such a phenomenon."

Su Beifeng nodded solemnly. "Indeed. No matter who this person is, we must quickly uncover their identity."

"At times like this, it's crucial to minimize any unforeseen factors."

Mo Lingxiao nodded. "By the way, has there been any movement from the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom?"

Su Beifeng shook his head. "None. It's been five years, and the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom hasn't made any moves."

"The Demon Emperor seems intent on biding his time, consolidating his control over Mist Province."

"My sources indicate that the Demon Emperor has issued strict orders forbidding the wanton slaughter of humans. He has even expressed interest in recruiting the remaining human population in Mist Province."

Mo Lingxiao sneered. "Consolidating his strength is real. He definitely wants to secure full control over Mist Province and exploit its resources."

"But recruiting humans is a lie."

"In the eyes of the demons, we humans are livestock, slaves, mere animals to be butchered at will."

"Just as humans don't equate themselves with cattle or sheep, demons will never truly coexist with us in harmony."

"The Demon Emperor's decree is merely a ruse to win hearts and draw more traitorous humans to his side."

Su Beifeng nodded. "The Sect Master's insight is sharp."

Mo Lingxiao waved his hand. "For now, our focus should remain on seizing the industries of the Jade Cauldron Sect."

"Our grudge with the Jade Cauldron Sect is deep and irreconcilable. Sooner or later, we'll clash on a grand scale."

"Rather than waiting for that day, it's better for us to strike first and gain the upper hand!"

"Understood," Su Beifeng replied respectfully.

At the Pill River Sect.

Inside a grand hall, flames surged high, radiating intense heat.

At the center of the hall stood a massive pill cauldron, as tall as a small mountain.

Xiao Fan wiped the sweat from his brow as he retrieved a batch of pills from the cauldron.

Standing nearby, Hai Qiankun was utterly astonished. "Elder Xiao, you've refined ten batches of pills today, and eight were successful! Even the most experienced elders in our sect only have a 60% success rate, yet you've achieved 80%!"

Xiao Fan appeared modest despite the pride glinting in his eyes. "You flatter me; it's all thanks to the Sect Master's teachings."

The more Hai Qiankun looked at Xiao Fan, the more he admired him. "Elder Xiao, you don't have a Dao companion yet, do you? I have a daughter who takes after her mother—she's stunningly beautiful, a face like the moon and flowers.

"She's already a Nascent Soul cultivator and hasn't taken a liking to anyone. She's never formed a Dao bond with any man. If Elder Xiao is willing, why not consider becoming her Dao companion? What do you think?"

Xiao Fan was overjoyed.

To marry the Sect Master's daughter would be a rare opportunity!

With his talent and the status of the Sect Master's son-in-law, wouldn't taking control of the Pill River Sect eventually be a natural progression?

"This… might not be appropriate. After all, I have a childhood sweetheart," Xiao Fan replied, feigning reluctance.

Back when Xiao Fan lived in Xuanjiang Prefecture, Ouyang Qian had told him about a distant uncle of hers who often traveled between Xuanjiang and Taishan Prefectures for business, residing long-term in Jade Sea City of Taishan Prefecture.

Thus, when Xiao Fan left Xuanjiang, he brought Ouyang Qian along.

Through her family connections, he had gained many benefits.

In fact, his entry into the Pill River Sect was facilitated by that very uncle.

Hai Qiankun laughed heartily. "Elder Xiao's devotion to his childhood sweetheart is well-known to me.

"When you traveled from Xuanjiang to Taishan Prefecture, you brought her along despite all hardships.

"Her talent is average, yet under your guidance, she managed to reach the Core Formation stage.

"I've seen all of this with my own eyes.

"However, you needn't worry. A childhood sweetheart is a childhood sweetheart, and a Dao companion is a Dao companion. The two don't conflict."

Xiao Fan was ecstatic, though he maintained a troubled expression. Bowing slightly, he said, "Since the Sect Master insists, I cannot refuse."

Hai Qiankun beamed. "Excellent! I'll summon her right now so you two can get acquainted!"

Xiao Fan nodded. "Very well."

At that moment, an astonishing aura swept through the Pill River Sect, catching the attention of everyone within.

Xiao Fan and Hai Qiankun both froze in place.

Xiao Fan exclaimed, "What a powerful presence! It must be a Divine Transformation cultivator."

Hai Qiankun nodded. "It seems a new Divine Transformation cultivator has emerged. Strange… I'm familiar with the backgrounds of most Nascent Soul peak cultivators in Yuzhou. How could someone suddenly break through to Divine Transformation?"

Xiao Fan speculated, "Could it be a rogue cultivator?"

Hai Qiankun shook his head. "That's even less likely.

"Such an overwhelming aura—forget rogue cultivators, even sect cultivators would struggle to achieve this.

"I suspect this isn't an Earth-grade Divine Soul."

Xiao Fan's eyes widened. "Could it be… a Heaven-grade Divine Soul?!"

Hai Qiankun nodded gravely. "The legendary Heaven-grade Divine Soul! It hasn't appeared in over a thousand years.

"Even the most gifted individuals have only managed to forge Earth-grade Divine Souls at best.

"I wonder which fortunate soul has discovered the method to create a Heaven-grade Divine Soul."

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up with longing. "How envious I am of that senior who uncovered such a method.

"If only I could obtain such a method and forge a Heaven-grade Divine Soul myself."

As this thought crossed his mind, the voice of Elder Dan sounded in his mind.

"Don't envy others. With your immense fortune, you'll surely find a way to create a Heaven-grade Divine Soul one day.

"I believe in you!"

Xiao Fan nodded firmly. "Elder Dan is right. I must have faith in myself!"
