CHAPTER 964: CHAPTER 254: BAI ZHI’S OUTBURST! ASCENDING TO YANG DIRECTLY! (6,000 WORDS)

Immediately after, a terrifying force descended from the Nine Heavens, directly enveloping Bai Zhi!

In that instant, Bai Zhi felt a powerful force seep into her physical body and then merge with her soul!

At the same time, her soul was nourished by this power and began to grow rapidly.

Bai Zhi was startled by this scene and quickly focused on her soul.

A moment later, she was surprised to find that if her soul was originally a small dwarf, then in just a few seconds, it had grown into a terrifying giant towering over ten meters!

Moreover, perhaps due to the dramatic change in the strength of her soul, when her soul grew into a giant, Bai Zhi felt the surrounding environment become incredibly fragile, as if even a slight movement of her body would shatter the world and transport her to another dimension!

In that moment, Bai Zhi understood: she had succeeded in Spirit Ascension!

...

At this moment, in the Late-Night Investigation Room.

Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi, who was enveloped in white light, and slowly withdrew his hand from her back.

He closed his eyes and sensed Dahei Jialuo’s "Faith Treasury," finding that the Power of Faith inside was roughly as he had estimated, still enough for two people to advance.

Fang Ze thought, indeed, the idea of robbing a demigod to boost his side’s strength was correct: even just Dahei Jialuo alone had so much Power of Faith. If he could deal with the other demigods including Yuan Gu, who knows how much Power of Faith, Extraordinary Artifacts, and demigod artifacts he might gain.

Thinking along these lines, Fang Ze collected his thoughts, continuing to observe Bai Zhi’s transformation.

After all, although Fang Ze had personally walked the path of Spirit Ascension and confirmed it was safe before letting Bai Zhi try, there were surely many mysterious events surrounding him. He was unsure whether there might be other reasons for his successful Spirit Ascension.

So he needed to keep a constant watch on Bai Zhi to prevent any problems from arising.

Moreover, Fang Ze had prepared for the worst: at a critical moment, even if it meant wasting so much Power of Faith, and even if Bai Zhi ultimately had to abandon her physical body and directly proceed to Spirit Ascension, he wanted to ensure Bai Zhi’s safety.

And whether it was due to people’s Wish Power truly affecting reality, or perhaps due to Fang Ze’s knack for terrible predictions, suddenly, inside the white light, there was indeed another change in Bai Zhi!

Previously, when Fang Ze ascended in Spirit Ascension, he tore through space and entered the Spirit Realm, beginning to comprehend it.

But Bai Zhi was different.

After being shrouded in white light, she did not head to the Spirit Realm but instead remained still. Gradually, golden specks began to form within the white light.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ze’s brows furrowed slightly, a bit worried about Bai Zhi’s current situation.

He wanted to inquire with Bai Zhi but also felt that the change might not be a bad thing and worried about disrupting Bai Zhi’s opportunity.

So, for a moment, Fang Ze hesitated.

Thinking it over for a few seconds, a light flashed in Fang Ze’s mind as he came up with an idea. He directly borrowed Bai Ling’s [Black Panther] ability to look at Bai Zhi.

Although the Black Panther ability predicts the fortunes and misfortunes for the user, Fang Ze and Bai Zhi were so close they were almost one entity.

If Bai Zhi were truly in danger, it would certainly be unfortunate for Fang Ze as well. So in the [Black Panther] perspective, there was over a 90% probability it would appear black.

Thinking thus, Fang Ze used the [Black Panther] ability to look at Bai Zhi.

The result was surprising and shocking.

At this moment, there was no trace of black mist on Bai Zhi, not even a bit of black aura. Instead, she was enveloped in a colorful glow.

This truly shocked Fang Ze greatly.

He couldn’t help but stop all his actions and began to quietly wait for Bai Zhi’s transformation.

While waiting, Fang Ze couldn’t help but feel a bit unsure: What was happening with Bai Zhi? Why the colorful glow? Was there something joyous occurring?

....

Simultaneously, Bai Zhi, before Fang Ze, was in a mysterious state.

After her soul had ascended, Bai Zhi did not rush to experience the new realm but, as she usually did during martial practice, began to quietly gather her thoughts.

With years of martial training, she knew that the faster one’s realm advanced, the more she needed to stabilize it: otherwise, it was too easy to deviate in cultivation.

And as she stabilized her realm, she discovered some wonderful things.

That is, at the peak moment of her soul, she found she could seemingly see through every organ and part of her body, see through each blood vessel and nerve.

Moreover, due to her years of martial arts practice and strong self-control, she only needed to exert a thought to control an organ or part of her body to start absorbing external Power of Laws, allowing soul and physical body fusion.

As the legitimate daughter of the Bai Family, and having prepared for Spirit Ascension for the past two years, Bai Zhi had also learned the family’s knowledge and cultivation methods for Spirit Ascension stage advancement.

So she knew that in the entire Great Realm of Spirit Ascension, the only thing for an Awakener to do was to use the Power of Laws to reshape the physical body.
