It's time to become a fairy.

Yan Ye glanced uneasily at the principal's office, a vague sense of unease stirring within her.

At this moment, the large group had dispersed and were heading towards their respective classrooms under the guidance of their teachers. Once inside the classrooms, it would be quite a challenge for them to provide assistance.

“Before, not so many people from the Demon Suppression Division had been transferred away, and this school was very well hidden, but that also meant that not many people came each time, and the power of the Yin Soul students was not strong. Now that the Demon Suppression Division is short-handed, if they succeed… I’m afraid that hundreds of Yin Souls at the Divine Awakening or even Spiritual Awareness level will be born in one go, and that will be troublesome.”

"What...should we do?"

She hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowed, and her eyes suddenly fell on the ghostly figure behind her.

It was the little boy ghost who had chosen her earlier. Just moments ago, he had appeared frightened in her sight, but now, following behind her, his true nature was revealed. He looked at the braid of a woman next to him, seemingly wanting to tug at it and play some prank. His eyes were full of lively interest as he moved around.

Snapped

Without hesitation, Yan Ye'an pulled out a branch and lashed out. The little boy's spirit, which had been restored to its original form by the gathering of yin energy, was instantly knocked transparent and almost lost its soul. It looked at Yan Ye'an with a blank expression, as if to say, "I didn't do anything this time, why are you hitting me?"

The teacher nearby quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, stopping Yan Ye'an from striking. Their group was near the front, among the first to return to school, and their actions slowed down the return of many classes to their classrooms.

Countless malicious gazes fell upon her, and Yan Ye'an realized that this was a good opportunity to stall for time. Only when the malice was about to erupt did she restrain her actions and walk towards the classroom with the group, pondering how to continue to stall for time.

Before she could come up with an answer, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from not far away. She abruptly looked up in the direction of the principal's office, and the entire principal's office underwent a strange change in her gaze.

……

……

In the principal's office

A vast expanse of Yin energy surged wildly within the fifty-square-meter space. Chen Ziming seemed to have become the center of this room, and even the school, emanating endless Yin energy from his body. The three Yin-spirited students all underwent different changes.

Two seemingly insignificant ghost students underwent a sudden transformation, entering the realm of Divine Awakening. They exuded the unique aura of ghosts, and their figures were no longer as translucent as before. Originally at the late stage of Divine Awakening, they leaped into the level of Spiritual Awareness, and the ghostly energy around them became increasingly dense.

She looked up at Ye Qingge with a sweet smile and said, "Mommy, come play with me..."

"Play my ass! Who's your mother? Die!"

Ye Qingge unleashed a ruthless sword strike, displaying divine power comparable to that of a master, instantly obliterating the little girl's soul.

She had wanted to do this since she first entered the school. Even if a ghost is cute, it's still a ghost, a being with extremely strong malice towards humans. Its actions are all about absorbing human fear or devouring human souls to become stronger, leaving no room for compromise. However, due to the circumstances at the time, she couldn't act.

Now that she had finally achieved her goal, Ye Qingge felt much better and turned her gaze to Chen Ziming.

"Chen Ziming entered the principal's office and transformed into a vengeful ghost. Although he did not cause any real harm, he became the core of the entire principal's office and even the entire school. It felt very strange to me. He didn't seem to become a real vengeful ghost, but rather like a container or an object."

"Regardless of the circumstances, dealing with Chen Ziming is more important than dealing with the principal!"

"Lin, Bing, Dou... Fire Element Divine Power!"

The character "Lin" stabilized his mind, the character "Bing" strengthened his divine weapon, and the character "Dou" greatly enhanced his divine abilities and techniques. In a daze, he seemed to enter a special state of mind, where all divine abilities and techniques seemed to come naturally to him, and no change could escape Ye Qingge's mind.

The Izumo Sword appeared in her hand, and blazing flames engulfed its blade. Ye Qingge suddenly exerted force with her feet and attacked Chen Ziming.

bang

Before the sword arrived, a sound rang out from not far away. After Lin Yushu crushed the jade slip, the light did not carry him away from the principal's office; instead, it slammed him back hard.

Around the edge of the principal's office, rings of magical runes covered the surroundings. Centered on Chen Ziming, countless streams of yin energy surged endlessly, making it seem as if the runes had come alive, rendering his methods completely ineffective.

"It's all over, it's all over now. I should never have come in in the first place."

Lin Yushu, with a mournful face, turned around and said, "Junior sister, your senior can't save you anymore. We're all going to be trapped here this time. Minister Yan tricked me again... Damn it!"

Upon seeing Ye Qingge's actions, his eyes widened in astonishment. He finally understood why Ye Qingge had been promoted to a senior member and why Yan Yishuang had specially placed her into the team.

As he tried to escape, Ye Qingge had already drawn her sword and stabbed Chen Ziming in the forehead. The tip of the sword had even pierced Chen Ziming's skin, but no blood was drawn, and the sword did not go any further.

What truly astonished him was that Ye Qingge was emanating a powerful divine energy. The flames emanating from the sword were driven by this energy, turning into an almost milky white color. This caused no damage to the nearby buildings, but it was a natural counter to the Yin energy.

Chen Ziming let out a shrill scream, and the surrounding Yin energy surged wildly, trying to squeeze Ye Qingge out.

However, they were completely helpless against the flames that carried the power of purification. They could only create a storm of yin energy and flames around Ye Qingge. The entire principal's office was in chaos due to the aftershocks of the storm. The old principal's head had grown back and seemed to want to join the battle, but he was obviously extremely afraid of the flames. He could only roar from the side and did not dare to get close at all.

"This strength is comparable to that of a top-tier member of the Danhai Realm, no wonder I was assigned here... No, or rather, is this a test from the Minister, an attempt to find me out?"

A hint of unease flashed in Lin Yushu's eyes, but he quickly recovered and moved closer to Ye Qingge.

the other side

The confrontation between Ye Qingge and Chen Ziming is coming to an end.

The vengeful ghost form that Chen Ziming was transformed into is somewhat similar to the training methods Bai Yuxuan used on Sister Zhou, the manager of the milk tea shop, and the little girl from her first mission—all involving the refinement of the physical body to make it difficult to detect. Against these kinds of vengeful ghosts, the physical body is not an advantage but rather a hindrance in battle; it's enough to eliminate the ghost itself.

This is why Ye Qingge did not pierce his head with the longsword, but when Ye Qingge injected her divine power into him to deal with the vengeful spirit, she discovered something different.

The internal Yin spirit was not the structure she had imagined. Instead, countless chains of Yin energy bound the central divine soul, which was protected by a spiritual artifact, preserving its last bit of spiritual light. The nearby chains were continuously drawing power from it, and the entire divine soul was trembling violently, seemingly in extreme pain.

"What kind of technique is this? It's been refined into a vengeful ghost, yet it still retains a trace of its spiritual light... No, this isn't how you refine a vengeful ghost; it's a puppet, a puppet spirit that's been manipulated!"

Ye Qingge's eyes widened in shock; this method was far too cruel.

Divine power surged into it, and under her control, it severed countless chains of Yin energy, gradually eroding the Yin energy contained within.

It took quite a while for the yin energy to be completely dissipated, and the fluctuations of spiritual light ceased, vaguely gathering into the shape of Chen Ziming, but it was already extremely thin and could dissipate at any moment.

He revealed a relieved smile, his mouth moved as if he wanted to remind Ye Qingge of something, but he was too weak to make any sound. He could only grit his teeth and, before completely dissipating, transform into a divine soul and rush towards Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge was startled and quickly used the Linzi Technique to guard her mind and the Hongmeng Breathing Technique to keep herself calm, but she discovered that something was wrong.

This shock to the soul was not as fierce as an attack; on the contrary, it was extremely gentle, possessing immense pressure but not much tangible damage.

Under the pressure of her soul, the spiritual light within Ye Qingge's body suddenly trembled violently, frantically converging towards a single point. Her spiritual power was also boiling violently, launching an attack on the threshold of the Spiritual Awareness Realm.

If the key to transitioning from the state of meditation to the state of spiritual awakening is to awaken a spark of inspiration, then the key to transitioning from the state of spiritual awakening to the state of spiritual awareness is to condense one's own spiritual nature!

A flash of inspiration, followed by divine enlightenment.

This is a mysterious and profound power. The advancement in cultivation at the Awakening Realm is not merely an increase in spiritual power, but also a continuous refinement of the spiritual light, making it stronger and of higher quality. Upon reaching its peak, the spiritual light will nurture a divine heart and spirituality, allowing the god within to truly become complete, and one to become one's own god!

Having mastered the Soul Devouring Technique, Ye Qingge's cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Awakening stage. After being stimulated by Chen Ziming's last bit of divine soul, she finally began her final transformation.

Seemingly remembering something, she quickly took out two pills from her spiritual ring and swallowed them, causing her divine power to condense even faster.

Chapter 70 The Enigmatic Realm Lockdown: The Meaning of Symbols

Wow

Within Ye Qingge's body, the accumulated spiritual light from the Awakening Realm gathered from all parts of her body, slowly coalescing into a phantom figure. The heart of this figure was a focal point of spiritual light, vaguely forming the shape of a beating heart. With each slight beat, countless spiritual energies flowed in and out of her body, converging at a tiny point of light in the dantian of the phantom figure—the foundation of the Great Dao.

Once the power has fully gathered and transformed into the rudimentary form of the foundation of the Great Dao, it will fall into the lower dantian, marking the time to transcend spiritual perception and enter the realm of divine breath.

As the spiritual energy coalesced, the illusory figure gradually became clearer, transforming into the appearance of Ye Qingge. Dressed in a white divine robe, she looked ethereal and otherworldly, like a celestial being who might fly out of her body at any moment and ascend to the immortal realm.

The spirit of God is complete!

Ye Qingge felt her mind suddenly clear. Even without opening her eyes, she could "see" the entire principal's office through the divine power within her body. Her spiritual energy also rose to a new peak, officially entering the realm of spiritual perception.

Under the Five Heavenly Transformations, Ye Qingge's combat power increased by another small level, leaping from the early stage of the Divine Breath Realm to the middle stage.

The entire process seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast. In less than two breaths, Ye Qingge's cultivation had broken through to a new level. She opened her eyes, and the symbols on her hands had turned into the bright red ones she had encountered when facing the vengeful ghost. A portion of the Yin energy scattered by Chen Ziming was absorbed into her, along with a piece of information that gathered in Ye Qingge's mind, as if it were engraved, making it difficult to forget.

"The Soul-Hooking Technique is based on the strength of one's soul. With the help of spiritual power, it can hook out the souls of those whose soul strength is weaker than one's own. It has a special bonus effect on vengeful spirits and ghosts. The specific effect depends on the proficiency and the strength of one's own soul. The higher the proficiency and the stronger the soul, the stronger the effect!"

Previously, when Ye Qingge first encountered the vengeful ghost, she fell into a deep sleep after the ghost was slain, and thus did not experience the acquisition of any skills. This is the first time Ye Qingge has experienced the skills brought by the symbols.

Slaying a vengeful ghost will grant you one of its skills!

Having absorbed the skill, Lin Yushu had already arrived nearby. The ghost of the old principal, who was not far away, seemed to be intimidated by Ye Qingge's thunderous killing of Chen Ziming. Its figure was faintly moving towards the edge of the principal's office, as if it wanted to escape.

"Perfect, let's try out this newly acquired skill. I wonder what benefits the old headmaster can bring me!"

Ye Qingge stretched out her hand, and divine power formed a special pattern. She suddenly reached out, and the power of her soul and spiritual energy formed a soul-locking hook, reaching out towards the ghost of the old principal. She hooked the ghost, pulled it sharply, and flew her body towards the ghost of the old principal. At the same time, she slashed out with her sword.

"Junior sister, wait for me!"

Lin Yushu called out, and they followed closely behind.

On the other side, the old headmaster's ghost also let out a terrified roar. The yin energy on his body was frozen in place for a second by the Soul-Locking Hook. Only when Ye Qingge's Cloud-Piercing Sword appeared in front of him did his body regain its movement, and he hurriedly blocked the yin energy.

stab

With his arm severed by the sword's edge, the old headmaster's vengeful spirit didn't even have the thought of resisting. With a flicker, he transformed into three identical wisps of ghostly spirits and ran away.

Lin Yushu's figure approached again. Before he could get close, the phantom of the Soul-Locking Hook appeared in Ye Qingge's hand again. She threw it and hooked the old principal's ghost on the left. The remaining two phantoms exploded instantly. Ye Qingge's figure flashed and reappeared beside the old principal.

Lin Yushu frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart, and pressed on.

Ye Qingge brandished her spirit sword, and the old principal's vengeful spirit weakened even further. It roared mournfully, burning its essence, and its figure transformed into dozens of figures that rushed towards Ye Qingge. More than ten of them fled away, seemingly trying to confuse Ye Qingge.

Unfortunately, it was no use. Ye Qingge accurately hooked the old principal's ghost, and just before Lin Yushu arrived, her figure flashed again, appearing beside the old principal's ghost.

"Could it be that I've been discovered?!"

Lin Yushu's heart skipped a beat. Recalling his actions, he felt he hadn't given anything away. He became secretly wary, but on the surface, he maintained a friendly smile and walked towards Ye Qingge.

This time, Ye Qingge did not continue to dodge. The old principal was hooked again, his soul on the verge of collapse. After pausing for two seconds, he finally chose to fight Ye Qingge desperately, but he failed to withstand Ye Qingge's final sword strike. In the end, his soul was scattered, leaving only a Yin Pearl floating in place.

Ye Qingge paused, took out a small box, and put away the Yin Pearl. Lin Yushu finally came closer.

He flicked his wrist, and a small knife appeared in his hand. On the surface, however, he remained calm, smiling as he praised, "I never expected Junior Sister Ye to be so strong. She actually killed two Yin Spirits single-handedly. To be honest, at first I also thought that Junior Sister Ye was just lucky to become a high-ranking member. I never imagined that Junior Sister Ye would possess such strength. This is beyond the realm of high-ranking members; even elite students are far inferior. She is already comparable to a top-tier member of the Demon Suppression Division like Minister Yan!"

"You flatter me, Senior Lin."

Ye Qingge's voice sounded weak.

Just as she was about to turn around and open her mouth to say something, Lin Yushu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he thrust his knife at Ye Qingge: "What a pity, such a promising talent, she would surely become another figure like Feng Yumeng in the future, but she should never have offended my Misty Demon Sect, she only has one way out: death!"

stab

The dagger sliced ​​through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. Dense magical power erupted from Lin Yushu's body and flowed into the dagger, causing magical runes to flare up on its surface. Taking advantage of Ye Qingge's momentary lapse in concentration, the dagger suddenly stabbed into Ye Qingge's waist.

Lin Yushu's lips curled into a ferocious smile. He had already anticipated Ye Qingge's next move. However, as the blade pierced through and the magic power erupted, Ye Qingge suddenly collapsed and dissipated before his eyes.

"A phantom clone? You've already discovered me! When?"

Lin Yushu's smile froze, then she suddenly realized what was happening and looked around warily.

After Chen Ziming's death, the yin energy in the principal's office weakened significantly, but it was still much denser than outside. From within the yin energy, five Ye Qingges who looked exactly alike emerged, dressed in identical clothes, holding the Chuyun Sword in their hands, and calmly looking at Lin Yushu.

The skill obtained after killing the old headmaster: Extra-Law Clone!

In fact, Ye Qingge could achieve a similar effect using mind illusion, but the skill she obtained from the old headmaster's ghost was much more powerful in this regard. Whether it was the aura or the appearance, it was done very well, making it impossible for people to tell the difference between the real and the fake. When it reached the Great Perfection, it could even possess 20% of the original body's strength.

“I sensed something was wrong as soon as I entered the school, but in fact, your weakness was revealed as soon as you disembarked from the spirit boat.”

The five Ye Qingges stepped forward in unison, closing the distance and increasing the psychological pressure on Lin Yushu. She was waiting for Lin Yushu to make the first move and reveal a weakness!

If it were a vengeful ghost, Ye Qingge would act without hesitation. Vengeful ghosts have simple methods; once the situation is understood, killing them is not difficult. But humans are different. Who knows what kind of trump cards they might have? Ye Qingge dared not act rashly, lest the opponent have unknown trump cards to counterattack.
