Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 229
As Jiang Xiu planned to merge his soul along with the Godhood Halo at the highest place, a voice suddenly came through from the nothingness of the void, "Who dares to take the Firmament Godhood Halo?"
If it were someone ordinary, they would've become dazed after encountering such a matter, but Jiang Xiu was a veteran who had experienced the world, so he disregarded the consequences and planned to first get hold of this thing. Thus, he immediately tried to merge it with his soul.
"Audacious!"
That person shouted in a fury, followed by a power suddenly suppressing the entire area.
This power was too strong and wasn't something the current Jiang Xiu could resist. He was pushed down by this suppression.
Jiang Xiu became furious, "Who are you? Why are you obstructing me from taking the Godhood Halo?"
That person grunted coldly, "Ignorant child. You don't even know who this Deity is and you dare to act this brazenly. I am Ancestral Hall's Di Fuyao, the Realm God of this world. The divine mandates of this lesser realm are overseen by me."
Jiang Xiu wasn't scared away by these few words. "Since I have become a God and entered this void, the world has allowed me to choose the Godhood Halo of my preference."
"You have no right to prevent me from taking the Godhood Halo I want."
That person snarled back, "Wanton!" That voice was akin to suppression of the heavens. It shocked Jiang Xiu's entire divine intent, almost turning it into nothingness. "I am the Realm God, so the Godhood Halos are naturally overseen by me as well. This Deity won't allow you to take the Firmament Godhood Halo. It's not your turn."
Since the Firmament Halo was at the highest place, it should be the strongest, but this bastard wasn't allowing him to take it.
"You are obstructing the will of heaven!" Jiang Xiu replied.
Since there was a limit to the divine mandates, it was possible to change who got what. Just like resources in the human world, some ambitious families bullied others to get what they wanted. This was the result of the desire of humans for power.
Jiang Xiu naturally couldn't allow a minor God to bully him and delay his cultivation.
"What if I am obstructing the will of heaven?"
That man seemed determined on not giving the Firmament Halo to Jiang Xiu.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Xiu chanted a spell. He planned to use a supreme arcane skill to strengthen his divine intent forcefully. This was equivalent to burning his blood and could result in damaging his divine intent severely, it was even life-threating.
However, such was Jiang Xiu's nature. He wasn't only ruthless towards others but even more ruthless towards himself. If he hadn't been so extreme, he wouldn't have reached as high as he did on the Immortal Martial Continent and wouldn't have become the Heaven Treading Sect's Sect Master.
"Hah!"
The divine intent's power soared up sharply in an instant. He flew towards the highest location recklessly with the intention to seize the Firmament Godhood Halo.
"Reckless!"
That man bellowed. The power of suppression suddenly increased as well. He naturally wasn't using a secret skill with a huge side effect but rather that he hadn't used the power of his divine intent before and was putting it to use now.
Bang!
Both the divine intents were formless, but when the two powers collided with each other, the entire void began to tremble.
"An insignificant Demigod dares to fight with this Deity! You're just courting death!"
The power of suppression descending on the area kept rising and rising. After all, there was a vast divide between a Demigod's divine intent and a God's. Let alone, the opponent was this world's Realm God.
Jiang Xiu felt an unsurpassable power similar to that of heaven's wrath crush him during this exchange.
Boom!
Jiang Xiu felt his divine consciousness fall from the void. The Firmament Halo went out of reach, getting farther and farther away. The other Godhood Halos turned into tiny specks as well. It was as if time were flowing backward as he got suppressed downwards, dropping into the bottomless abyss.
"Brat. As you've offended this Deity, don't think of getting any of the Godhood Halos, let alone the Firmament Halo. This Deity officially proclaims that you're deprived of your divine mandate qualifications."
Jiang Xiu, who was in his house, suddenly opened his eyes. He began to take deep gasps of breaths as if he had held his breath underwater for a long time. His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose kept bleeding, making him look hideous.
"You won't let me become a God?"
"You think you can do that?"
Since the number of divine mandates was limited, this was definitely a rule of this world. A minor Realm God couldn't affect such a law. In other words, if only he had a Godhood Halo, he could become a God.
Although he couldn't get the Firmament Halo, he had three other Godhood Halos with him.
"This won't do. I need to become a God as soon as possible!"
There would be others besides him who coveted the divine mandate as well since they were limited in number. Perhaps that Realm God even had a candidate ready. Since he had control over the Godhood Halos, he naturally could choose the candidate as well.
He ignored his injuries and remembered the path he traversed just now. It seemed like the Godhood Halo similar to Li Mi's was at the highest location of the three he possessed. Since the higher ones were powerful, he judged that Li Mi's Godhood Halo ought to be the strongest.
Jiang Xiu decided to select Li Mi's Godhood Halo which possessed an unknown attribute.
After settling his thoughts, he didn't hesitate anymore and began to harmonize with that Godhood Halo. It was easier to do it this time compared to his previous attempt. He had just released his divine intent a little, and his entire body began to issue an awful brilliance. Immediately after that, it broke down and merged into Jiang Xiu's body, completely disappearing from sight.
This time, the Godhood Halo had wholly displayed its tremendous power. Jiang Xiu felt as if his body was about to explode. He clenched his teeth while groaning yet kept persevering and let the Godhood Halo wander into his Godhead, transform his body then again condense back.
Boom! Boom!
Sounds of thunder rumbling came out of Jiang Xiu's body. The Godhood Halo's power seemed to congeal and wreak havoc inside his body, unceasingly remolding it while rotating crazily.
He knew that the crucial moment which would decide whether he would become a God had arrived!
It felt as if someone took him for a clay toy and molded him as they wished. All his cells, bones and muscles began were reforming again, so the amount of pain he felt was pretty obvious.
"AAAAHHHH…"
Jiang Xiu turned into nothingness, his entire body transformed into an intense light while blood kept seeping out of his mouth, followed by him vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Boom!
At the same time, the entire room was filled with a dazzling radiance. This radiance rose towards the horizon of the nine firmaments, surpassing the heavens above heavens then into the outer space of the universe, shooting out like a meteorite.
He felt a kind of response from the world, but he still hadn't really become a God. Just this alone had made him fall, but he kept persevering while gritting his teeth. The power inside his Godhead began to rise unceasingly, and the divine regalia on his arm turned exceptionally hot. His divinity origin still hadn't achieved a breakthrough, and his Godhead hadn't truly awakened yet, it was only a step away.
"Damned fortune!"
Jiang Xiu realized his power wasn't enough. On the Immortal Martial Continent, when such a situation was encountered, it was necessary to absorb energy to completely finish advancing, but there weren't any heavenly treasures or pills with him.
"Am I going to fail at the last moment?"
He suddenly recalled he still had two Godhood Halos. He had set them aside as he didn't know whether they would conflict with each other and lead to some accident, but now, if he didn't replenish more power, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine. In any event, the most important thing right now was to become a God. He had done all of this to achieve that so he decided to make one final attack.
He operated the Godhood Halos within his body, which immediately began to glow with a radiating brilliance. His body became like that of a light bulb as the other two Godhood Halos began to merge with his soul.
This time, he didn't feel pain like before but instead felt a comfortable feeling. This let Jiang Xiu harmonize with the Godhood Halos faster.
Jiang Xiu absorbed the two Godhood Halos crazily. Those Godhood Halos felt similar to energy bodies as he devoured them to replenish his body's energy.
Boom!
Jiang Xiu's mind quivered, and his divinity origin experienced an explosion similar to the big bang which was the origin of the universe. At this split second, Jiang Xiu lost his consciousness, as if he were in shock, his sight had also turned dull. Powerful, unique information poured into his divinity origin.
He had finally Awakened!
Truly Awakened!
He sat cross-legged while his long hair rose up like flames. As he underwent the process and awakened to all kinds of information, it finally condensed in the form of his divine regalia's radiance on his arm.
The divine symbol was complete!
He could finally use the first magic sound note.
Immediately after that, his cross-legged body began to float and a misty white fog formed under him to support his body. It looked pretty marvelous.
He flew towards the window but didn't knock into the glass and instead passed through it. He had transformed into white smoke and reached outside the room, landing down then forming into his real body on the balcony.
The ability to transform into a different matter was a sign of divinity. Only Gods could do this.
Jiang Xiu had finally become a God. In this world, perhaps a God was the supreme existence, but on the Immortal Martial Continent, a God was someone who had just taken the first step onto cultivation.
