Chapter 224: Baek Ain's Genesis Transformation
--- Chapter 221 ---
Baek Ain's body hovered and became the literal center of the Golden Crow's Forgotten Tenth Sun.
Ten mighty suns used to live in the sky, but their excessive energy caused the mortal realm to dry out. The sea evaporates, and the ground is unable to be planted.
People are suffering, but none dared to anger the ten suns because they are the descendants of the Jade Emperor.
That's until a legendary warrior, Hou Yi, shot down nine suns, leaving only one to shine in the day and whimpering in fear at night.
The Forgotten Tenth Sun is a mischievous descendant of a ruler.
It perished long ago due to great dimensional war and lapped countless dimensions before rebirthing as the Primordial Spirit. And Baek Ain is going to become its master and host.
Baek Ain roared in pain because of the Body Metamorphosis. He was used to pain, but getting your body reconstructed is not an everyday event.
He gritted his teeth and felt every skin, flesh, bones, and blood rapidly transformed under the Primordial Star.
At the same time, Baek Ain's cultivation base also rapidly decreased from the Dou Saint Realm to the Disciple before eventually disappearing into nothingness.
Once again, Baek Ain sensed the familiar emptiness. He used to feel like this before cultivating Dou Qi and living as an ordinary graduate on earth.
He was content with his life at the time.
He had enough fortune to live old and everything. Well, except for loving partners.
Ever since Baek Ain met Yafei that day with her red panties in his hand, he knew his life would change forever and become more colorful. A massive yet wonderful change, if he had to say.
Soon, the emptiness inside Baek Ain filled again.
A spark appeared in Baek Ain's stomach and gradually grew into a ball of golden flame. It expanded and expanded before eventually becoming a revolving golden galaxy.
This golden galaxy-like is none other than Qi Dwelling, something everyone in the Heaven Genesis World has.
The only difference is their quality.
Colorless is the lowest, followed by azure, purple, and the highest, golden-colored Qi Dwelling.
Still, Baek Ain's Qi Dwelling is 'seemingly' made of pure gold and a hint of redness that transpires by the Golden Crow's flame.
Genesis Qi was sucked by Baek Ain's body greedily, filling every crevice inside him. Sparks started appearing around the Qi Dwelling and turned into stars.
Among the many stars, eight stars lit up based on Baek Ain's Eight Great Meridians. They are the pathways Genesis Qi used to move around Baek Ain's body.
With them on, Baek Ain has entered the Eight Great Meridian Awakening Realm.
[Ding! You have reached the peak of Eight Great Meridian Awakening Realm]
Of course, this is from over. Dou Qi might be a lower plane energy, but Baek Ain has too much when refining them.
If we use Dou Saint as a measurement, Baek Ain has 10,000 Dou Saints' worth of energy. And that translates to how much Genesis Qi he'd get from this transformation process.
The changes happened again, and it was Baek Ain's Qi Dwelling.
The Qi Dwelling grew again, flashing golden light that made the galaxy brighter!
Yes, this is the sign of the middle Qi Nourishing Realm.
Also, it's a critical phase where Baek Ain needs to form his Qi Palace.
A palace made of Genesis Qi manifested above Baek Ain's golden galaxy and became more solid as Baek Ain's cultivation base reached the peak of the Qi Nourishing Realm. A lingering golden fiery aura flashed around Baek Ain's Qi Palace, which indicates it is of the highest quality.
[Ding! You have reached the peak Qi Nourishing Realm]
Baek Ain flashed with divine light and reached a new realm.
The Heaven Gate Realm.
In this realm, one's potential and strength are 'actually' measured by Genesis Qi Pillar. The taller, the better.
BOOOOM!
Genesis Qi Pillar manifested outside Baek Ain's body and soared to the sky. Not only is his Genesis Qi Pillar pure, but it is also thicker than a mountain.
Chu Ming and others observed from afar and were frightened by the sight of Baek Ain's Genesis Qi Pillar.
A 'normal' yuan master, when achieving a breakthrough, only reaches 20 feet, while those who have opened a Golden Qi Dwelling can attain between 200 and 300 feet.
However, the problem is that Chu Ming couldn't see the end of Baek Ain's Genesis Qi Pillar. 4
It's over one thousand feet over the clouds. It looks like the pillar supporting heaven!
Gulp!
"What kind of a being he actually is..." Chu Ming started to think that Baek Ain wasn't human.
[Ding! You have reached the peak of Heaven Gate Realm]
Baek Ain slowly regained his consciousness and felt a tug in his soul. He saw a smaller version of himself, hugging his knees in a golden capsule.
He has obtained the basic information of Heaven Genesis World and knows his soul would become a Divine Soul.
The Divine Soul is the Spiritual Core of Yuan Master, which allows him to stay alive even if his body gets destroyed. It is a weaker version of the Soul Protection Skill.
Still, it's beneficial. Baek Ain could train his soul this way.
The Divine Soul also has realms of their own.
They are Formless, Illusory, Corporeal, Materialization, God-Roaming, and Saint.
At the moment, Baek Ain's Divine Soul has reached the early third stage, entry of the Materialization Realm.
Around this time, Baek Ain's Heaven Gate Realm is 'fully' condensed.
His Qi Dwelling, Qi Palace, Cultivation Art, and Divine Soul accumulated and permitted him to enter the Quasi Alpha-Origin Realm.
Baek Ain had to discern Alpha-Origin Heaven, a separate dimension the divine soul can sense. Inside it is Alpha-Origin Qi, which could nourish one's Genesis Qi further.
Alpha-Origin Qi also made Genesis Qi more powerful.
Baek Ain naturally felt countless entrances to the Alpha-Origin Heaven and instinctively absorbed Alpha-Origin Qi, ascending to the Alpha-Origin Realm.
Then, Genesis Qi stars appear in Baek Ain's Qi Dwelling.
At first, it was only a few times, but then they appeared one after another and lit up the galaxy.
Since the Alpha-Origin Realm is separated into nine minor layers, the first layer can keep thirty-five Genesis Qi stars and roughly double on the next layer. Well, that's for an ordinary Yuan Master.
Baek Ain is an abnormality. His first layer alone housed 100 Genesis Qi stars.
The 2nd layer is 200 Genesis Qi stars.
The 3rd layer is 400 Genesis Qi stars.
The 4th layer is 800 Genesis Qi stars.
The 5th layer is 1,600 Genesis Qi Stars.
The 6th layer is 3,200 Genesis Qi stars.
The 7th layer is 6,400 Genesis Qi stars.
The 8th layer is 12,800 Genesis Qi stars.
And finally, the final layer. Baek Ain's 9th layer could contain up to 100,000 Genesis Qi stars units.
That's just how monstrous he is.
[Ding! You have reached the peak of Alpha-Origin Realm]
But calm down. There is still the next realm.
The Divine Dwelling Realm!
It is a cultivation realm that Baek Ain gets mistaken for by Chu Ming and others.
In the Divine Dwelling Realm, one must have Genesis Qi stars. The more, the better. And Baek Ain has over 100,000 units.
However, Baek Ain also needs to have a Divine Establishment Rare Treasure.
The treasure will allow him to transform his Qi Dwelling into Divine Dwelling and Qi Palace into Divine Palace.
Fortunately, Baek Ain is an Ancient Refiner.
"Hurry up, Master. Make a Natal Divine Tool so I can bind it to you and form Divine Palace for us!" An adorable voice echoed in Baek Ain's soul.
"Golden Crow?" Baek Ain tilted his head.
"Yes, it's me."
"Hurry up!" Her adorable voice begged.
"You have one hour, or you won't be able to reach the Divine Dwelling Realm for a long time."
"Well, challenge accepted." Baek Ain smiled a little.
Baek Ain used his Divine Soul outside, which looks like an ethereal copy of himself, and brought everything he had in the inventory. When he said everything, it was literally everything he could use.
He has to make a masterpiece here.
Baek Ain closed his eyes and activated Parallel Thinking to the limit. A solar flare helped him, allowing him to refine all the material into one.
A massive glob of essence floated before Baek Ain and his Divine Soul's hand extended a hand. The essence condensed and slowly turned into a sun-like halo.
[Ding! You have created your first EX-grade Masterpiece]
[Please give it a name]
Unfortunately, Baek Ain couldn't relish his happiness.
"Good job, leave the rest to me!" Baek Ain heard the Golden Crow talking.
The sun-like halo entered Baek Ain's body. It linked itself with his Divine Soul and ascended his cultivation for the better.
His Qi Dwelling rapidly spun, evolving into a Divine Dwelling. It is triple, if not quadruple in size.
His Qi Palace also transformed into Divine Palace, expanding into a bigger and more majestic shape.
[Forming a Divine Dwelling Halo...]
[Ding! You have formed your 1st Divine Dwelling Halo: Nine Suns Blazing Halo(Mutated)!]
A ring of light manifested behind Baek Ain. It was an intertwined twelve colors. They are emerald, vermillion, orange, blue, purple, pink, azure, white, black, golden, silver, and ash.
Overall, the golden color is the most pronounced in the Nine Suns Blazing Halo, which is understandable because it is 'actually' based on the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
[Ding! You have successfully entered Initial - Divine Dwelling Realm]
"I'm tired..." The Golden Crow complained.
"Master, I'm going to sleep... Don't bother me for a day."
"Yes, yes." Baek Ain helplessly responded.
Baek Ain's body returned to normal, and the surrounding heat dissipated.
However, Baek Ain also realized Lin Feng's cover was disabled.
After all, he's currently looking at the reflection of his 'real' appearance on the system panel. But his appearance also changed drastically.
Baek Ain had white hair and a handsome face before.
But now, a few strands of Baek Ain's hair have become golden, and his handsome face has become even more attractive. There is also a golden fire mark on his glabella.
Heck! Even his ordinary robe has become a golden robe with a crow pattern on it.
[Ding! Golden Crow's Possession has evolved into Golden Crow's Incarnation(EX)]
[Ding! Golden Crow's Divine Flame has evolved into Golden Crow's True Divine Flame]
[Due to unlocking the Forgotten Tenth Sun, you have obtained one perk and three new exclusive skills]
[Perk - Three-Legged Golden Crow's Bloodline]
[Active Skill - Golden Crow's Charred Talons]
[Active Skill - Golden Crow's Burning Wings]
[Passive Skill - Golden Crow's Combat Body]
Baek Ain heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the charred ground. The sense of exhaustion also washed over his body.
'Exhausted. Damn, I'm exhausted.' He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
