Chapter 265: Clear Sky Sect's Godly Objects
After Lin Qinghan consumed the divine consciousness of Sea God Tang San within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea, he didn't leave right away. Instead, he began reconstructing the remaining consciousness framework.
After tens of minutes of careful modification, Lin Qinghan observed the complex layers of magical arrays embedded within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea and let out a satisfied breath.
This time was different from the first, which was more accidental. Now, Lin Qinghan had deliberately consumed Tang San's divine consciousness, yet preserved the remaining spiritual energy and divine mark completely.
In other words, while the divine mark on Wang Dong'er's body appeared unchanged in both aura and appearance, internally, it had been transformed into a refined magic array designed by Lin Qinghan. This new structure allowed Wang Dong'er to refine the remaining consciousness energy.
Although Lin Qinghan hadn't studied the Alex Magic inheritance deeply, over time he had grasped some very practical spell formations. In addition to the refining array, he had layered spiritual defense arrays designed to prevent Tang San from re-establishing a connection or interference.
Thanks to Lin Qinghan's infinite spiritual energy, he could maintain these arrays by simply leaving behind a complete portion of divine consciousness.
With the foundation of Alex's magical arrays and a spiritual energy source nearly equivalent to a first-level god, he was confident Tang San's divine consciousness could no longer breach Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
Thinking of this, Lin Qinghan released a strange-colored spiritual light. His spiritual consciousness—now more transparent—returned to the outside world, merging back into his body.
Lin Qinghan had only split off a small fraction of his soul and divine consciousness. Upon sensing the consumption, he estimated it to be less than one percent—barely enough to matter.
Of course, maintaining a formation capable of resisting God King-level divine consciousness required real energy. But Lin Qinghan's unique spiritual traits made even that one percent more than sufficient.
Additionally, due to his soul's immortality trait, the sliver of soul that had been consumed regenerated almost instantly. Only his divine consciousness might take half a day to fully replenish.
Noticing that Wang Dong'er still hadn't woken up, Lin Qinghan quietly dressed and walked out of the room.

Outside, Niu Tian and Tai Tan were still calmly drinking tea in the living room.
"Does the Clear Sky Sect have anything related to gods?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Qinghan walked up, sat down across from them, and poured himself a cup of tea.
The Clear Sky Sect's tea was surprisingly good. Lin Qinghan, who normally wasn't fond of tea, found himself beginning to enjoy it. He was even considering taking some with him when he left.
"Of course we do. Otherwise, how would we have been able to maintain a link to the God Realm when the whole Douluo Continent had vanished from divine oversight?"
Niu Tian glanced at him sideways, curling his lip slightly at Lin Qinghan's usual casual behavior.
"Oh? So aside from maintaining contact with the God Realm, are there any other divine relics?"
Lin Qinghan's interest sharpened. This had been one of his reasons for coming here in the first place. Tang San had once resided here, and there were many hidden secrets.
If that were the case, the Clear Sky Sect likely held several artifacts tied to the gods.
"There's one more thing. It's a device for condensing God-given soul rings. It's been charged with divine energy for years—it can create soul rings with a lifespan of up to 990,000 years. Do you want one?"
"You actually have something like that? Then yes, please take me to see it."
Now that they were speaking openly, Lin Qinghan was noticeably more respectful toward Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
After all, these two were Wang Dong'er's adoptive fathers. She truly saw them as family. Lin Qinghan couldn't continue being careless in front of them.
"Alright, follow me."
Seeing how eager Lin Qinghan was about the God-given soul rings, Niu Tian no longer hid anything. He immediately led him toward the backyard of the Clear Sky Sect.
Lin Qinghan followed Niu Tian through multiple courtyards until they reached the base of a small hill.
The hill looked completely natural at first glance, but as Niu Tian stepped forward and performed a few mystical gestures, a bridge-shaped crack opened on the hillside—clearly a hidden stone gate.
"Actually, here in the Clear Sky Sect, God-given soul rings aren't that rare. Every year, we reward the top-performing disciples with one."
Lin Qinghan had expected a complex unlocking mechanism, but to his surprise, Niu Tian simply walked up, inserted his fingers into the crevice, and lifted the stone door with brute force.
'So it was just an illusion array hiding a manual stone gate?'
The scene made Lin Qinghan sigh inwardly at the old-fashioned approach.
"It's inside. Just stand on the platform to begin condensing a God-given soul ring."
With the stone door moved aside, a worn yet majestic altar came into view.
Time had eroded its features, but one could still discern its architectural origins. The altar's edges had rounded with age, and its details faded, but in its center floated a trident-shaped symbol—undeniably left behind by Tang San.
"There's enough energy here to make five top-tier soul rings. If you need them, they're yours."
Knowing Lin Qinghan had twin martial souls, Niu Tian didn't hesitate to offer the entire reserve.
"Let's keep the energy here for now. I just want to study how this works."
Lin Qinghan stepped into the altar and released his divine consciousness to envelop it.
The term "God-given soul ring" implied a soul ring created by a god.
But what if someone who hadn't yet become a god already possessed divine-level power, and a spiritual realm exceeding that of most gods?
Could such a person... craft one themselves?
