Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 208-Chapter 258)

The bright day suddenly transformed into night, while the skies became incomparably translucent. Not a single cloud could be seen.

They were able to clearly see that every single star within the skies was shining with radiant light. As for Zhou Weiqing, he floated there like the stars above the waters. The lustrous light emanating from him actually resonated with the astral light in the skies, and a few dim strands of astral light actually gathered within his body.

Not even the long-lived dragons held any memories of such a strange phenomenon, despite their ancient histories. That sense of pressure vanished, but the two great dragons could no longer sense Zhou Weiqing either. It was as though he had completely fused into the stars of the night sky and was no longer a mere human.

Shangguan Bing’er had been covering her lips this entire time, shocked. She was a human, and her senses were different from those of the two great dragons. In this instant, she suddenly felt as though her Little Fatty was no longer on the same level of existence as her. This wasn’t something which came from a disparity of power, it came from an indescribable intrinsic quality he now possessed.

The astral light emanating from Zhou Weiqing grew even denser and thicker, and it coiled around him faster and faster. The ribbons of light sped up to an inconceivable amount, with all of the light suddenly vanishing within Zhou Weiqing’s body.

In the next instant, a burst of terrifyingly bright light which couldn’t be stared at blasted out from Zhou Weiqing’s body. This light stretched out for thousands of kilometers, and in that instant all of the stars in the skies turned dim.

The mighty light didn’t have a powerful aura to it, but even so, the two great dragons simultaneously could sense a spiritual pressure pushing them down into the sea.

W-what type of power is this?! The two great dragons were completely stunned. They had no idea what Zhou Weiqing was doing.

In truth, not even Zhou Weiqing himself knew what he was doing. He had the feeling that all of the astral light had merged into his body, which seemed to have immediately exploded. His thoughts and senses sped up to an incredible rate, but the only thing he could sense was that boundless astral light.

He didn’t sense any energy, but Zhou Weiqing realized that almost everything in the starry skies seemed willing to follow his lead. This was an extremely strange feeling. In that instant, Zhou Weiqing discovered to his astonishment that his Saint Energy had completely disappeared. Right. All of the Astral Saint Energy had completely vanished.

When he noticed this, he finally sensed that his thoughts had returned to his own body. The Astral Saint Energy had vanished, but something else had appeared within his body. It was a faint golden pearl that was perfectly smooth.

This pearl hovered within his chest, and the strangest thing about it was that it was actually surrounded by slender little ribbons of light that circulated around it. Zhou Weiqing scanned himself and instantly realized that he seemed to have undergone an earthshaking change. His body no longer seemed to exist, while everything within the world was available for him to command, including the endless starry night sky.

I-is this my Saint Core Nucleus? Zhou Weiqing felt incomparably stunned.

Outside his body, the night sky finally turned back into day. Everything quickly went back to normal… but the great dragon Hui Yao couldn’t help but let out an astonished cry.

What could cause a Heavenly God-level great dragon, especially one who was a progeny of the Dragon Emperors, call out in shock? One could imagine how truly stunning this scene was! “Forty-nine days? It was actually forty-nine days?!” Hui Yao stared dazed as it mumbled to itself.

Puzzled, Duo Si asked, “What do you mean, forty-nine days?”





Chapter 258: Saint Core? Astral Core? (2)


Hui Yao looked at her. “Go ahead and sense the changes in our bodies. After being bathed by that astral light, our bodies seemed to have benefited from it. Not just that. Although that night sky only appeared for a brief period, I can sense that in reality a total of forty-nine days have gone past.”

They were Heavenly Gods whose senses regarding the natural world were far more acute than the senses of ordinary humans, especially with regards to time. They often went into long periods of slumber, after all. If they couldn’t sense the passing of time, they wouldn’t even know how old they were!

When Duo Si heard Hui Yao say this, Duo Si immediately unleashed its own senses. A moment later, Duo Si’s jaw dropped own in surprise. Hui Yao was right. Forty-nine days had gone past during that brief moment of astral light accelerating and disappearing.

What was going on? They had no idea, but when they looked at Zhou Weiqing they no longer saw that simple, ordinary human youth.

Zhou Weiqing continued to float there, all the light having been completely withdrawn into his body. The only difference was that on his chest, a ball of light seemed to emanate ephemeral flickers.

There weren’t any particularly powerful energy ripples. Zhou Weiqing looked like a very ordinary person, but the wings on his back had already vanished. He himself, however, continued to hover in the air.

His skin had turned as pale as ivory, and it glowed with sleek, glossy light. His features were never particularly handsome, but right now they felt almost holy and sacred. He seemed to have become translucent. As he hung there in the sky, he was like part of the air itself rather than a human. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn’t be able to notice he was there. Not even the two Heavenly God dragons could sense his presence.

Hui Yao let out a long breath, draconic eyes spread wide. If in the past he could easily sense how Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation was changing, even for a powerhouse like him Zhou Weiqing had now turned into an enigma. There was no point in using any type of senses to try and scan him.

Zhou Weiqing, still floating in the air, slowly opened his eyes. When they saw his eyes, the two great dragons and Shangguan Bing’er couldn’t help but stare.

Zhou Weiqing’s eyes weren’t glowing with dazzling light as they had imagined. In fact, it was just the opposite. His eyes looked a bit glossier than the eyes of others, but there was nothing particularly powerful to them.

Heavenly Jewel Masters were different from ordinary people. The more powerful a Heavenly Jewel Master was, the more powerful their auras and their gazes would become. And yet… Zhou Weiqing seemed to have completely lost these Heavenly Jewel Master abilities. It was as though he was just an ordinary person… but could that really be true? How could an ordinary person float in the skies?

As he opened his eyes, the dazzling ball of light in his chest grew dim. It was as though everything had gone back to normal.

Zhou Weiqing bowed down in midair, offering his respects to Hui Yao and Duo Si. “Thank you, seniors, for assisting me. Weiqing shall never forget your help.”

His voice didn’t seem to have changed, but it now had a certain charisma that felt extremely comfortable. Hui Yao smiled and shook his head. “No, this was your destiny. You did good deeds and so reaped a good reward. In addition, we benefited from your ascendance as well. I really want to know what cultivation level you have reached.”

Zhou Weiqing chuckled. “To be honest, I’m not sure either. I think I’m a Heavenly King, but I don’t know what stage.”

The two great dragons were both rather shocked to hear him say he was a Heavenly King. As they saw it, no Heavenly King could’ve caused those phenomena which Zhou Weiqing had just displayed. Clearly, his Attributes had mutated somehow.
