Divinity Transformation Stage.

This is the highest peak of cultivation known to the rabbits, and the fifth step on the entire cultivation path.

If the cultivators of the Damo Realm were a pyramid, then the Divinity Transformation Realm would undoubtedly be the very tip, with the dragon's head seen but not the tail.

Although cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage below Divinity Transformation are few, they can ultimately be traced and dreamed about.

But the Divinity Transformation is only found in the ethereal legends, shrouded in mystery.

It's like Earth's billions of people. Nobel Prize winners for Physics are rare, but if you look closely, you can compile a continuous list, and it's possible that a university professor of this level is close by.

But if you wish to find a Nobel Prize winner in Mathematics, then historically, only a certain actor named Jin has claimed to have seen one.

If the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are akin to the pinnacle of conventional weapons, just below sci-fi weapons and space-based weapons.

Then the Divinity Transformation Stage is no doubt the extreme human-like nuclear bomb.

The rabbits once analyzed information from Qi Cultivation—Foundation Establishment—Core Formation—Nascent Soul (the few) and reached a highly uncertain yet likely accurate predictive outcome:

Given the right conditions, such as being outside core areas and away from destructive blast radii, a Divinity Transformation cultivator might even survive a nuclear bomb—not by physically enduring it, but by surviving beyond those limited conditions.

Though the conditions seem harsh, the reality is incredibly terrifying.

A nuclear bomb with a yield of 150,000 tons can result in a mass loss of 7 grams; the explosion in Guang X initially reduced mass by only 0.6-0.7g.

The loss of mass being conversion energy—the peak-god Thor, peak Hulk, and the purple oval can achieve this in Marvel films.

Comparisons with MULTIVERSE and OMNIVERSE-level characters in Marvel aren't made—such multidimensional concepts are left to the Honghuang style, honored by Hongjun, whose concept even Stan Lee found overpowered.

Thus, rabbits are very interested in cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Realm, as reaching this state is almost indistinguishable from mundane concepts of gods.

If these supreme beings indeed exist, an invocation of "sword come" would certainly not invite the rebuttal "Are you worthy?".

The perspective returns to the private room.

In response to Ma Ning's question, Yang Bolin contemplated for a while before shaking his head:

"Shopkeeper Ma, the Damo Realm and the Demon Realm erupted into a great war over two thousand years ago, where Divinity Transformation realm cultivators and corresponding fifth-order demon beasts combined numbered fewer than the fingers on one hand.

That battle was incredibly brutal; though the demon realm was not conquered in the end, no peerless master of the Divinity Transformation Stage has emerged in the Damo Realm since.

Even...even the Nascent Soul Ancestor of our Yang Family has never seen a trace of Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Over four hundred years ago, a master from Celestial Secret Valley used lifespans to perform the Great Deduction Technique, yet concluded that the Damo Realm cannot produce a great cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm."

Then Yang Bolin hesitated, visibly uncertain, before speaking with a doubtful tone:

"However, in some ethereal rumors, there might be Divinity Transformation cultivators in deep slumber within the deepest parts of the demon realm, though no one has ever seen them firsthand.

In this old man's view, rather than saying there's a supreme being asleep in the depths of the demon realm, it's more likely that these 'secrets' are deliberately spread by the demon realm to boost morale."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ning also nodded slightly.

He fully understood Yang Bolin's meaning, that spreading uncertain positive news to boost morale is a tactic used many times in ancient Huaxia.

From a personal standpoint, he also did not believe the credibility of such rumors—do cultivators truly exist after over two thousand years?

How would their flesh and cells maintain vitality?

It's impossible to rely on poetry, isn't it?

While pondering, Ma Ning suddenly heard Yang Bolin say:

"Shopkeeper Ma, are there any other doubts your esteemed side has that require the old man to resolve?"

In the command center, Lin Li's expression became serious, mouthing to Ma Ning:

"The main show is almost here."

Ma Ning discreetly gave him a thumbs up to indicate understanding, then pretended to think for a moment, clasped his hands toward Yang Bolin, and shook his head:

"Thank you Shopkeeper Yang for resolving my queries, I have no more questions."

"That's good, that's good....."

Yang Bolin nodded slightly, then suddenly remembered something:

"Shopkeeper Ma, regarding increasing the supply of the happy sticks as discussed earlier with Shopkeeper Gu, what's your esteemed side's stance?"

Ma Ning laughed cheerfully:

"Shopkeeper Yang has a demand, then the Taoshu Commerce Association naturally has no issue.

However, Shopkeeper Yang, I'll also be frank with you.

Currently, the production of happy sticks is relatively limited. To deliver sixty thousand units every four Damo Days, we may need a lot of manpower, leading to overtime...cough, rush production costs..."

Yang Bolin, upon hearing this, waved his hand widely:

"Shopkeeper Ma, feel free to report the rush production costs. If half a Spirit Stone is insufficient, we can add more, but we must ensure ample supply for the next transaction day, with quality meticulously inspected since it's being shipped to the demon realm....."

Not long ago, after Gu Junming raised the issue of whether the demon realm had encountered problems, the rabbits' possession of remote communication means was exposed due to information exchange, and Yang Bolin's double-dealer identity was similarly revealed.

Therefore, now mentioning the issue of the next batch of goods, Yang Bolin no longer hid anything, straightforwardly bringing out the demon realm.

The two then continued their conversation, finally settling the price at 0.87 Spirit Stones per unit, which was 0.02 Spirit Stones more than Yang Bolin's initial offer.

After reaching a transaction intention, Ma Ning and Yang Bolin chatted leisurely.

When the conversation reached a stage where farewells became appropriate, he ceremonially clasped his hands toward Yang Bolin:

"Shopkeeper Yang, today, thank you for resolving my queries; truly, I've gained a lot.

Since there are no other issues now, I'll leave you to enjoy your meal, and we'll part temporarily, hoping we'll meet again if fate allows!"

Inside the Taihe Building.

Upon hearing this, Yang Bolin's eyes flashed with a spark of brilliance, though his expression remained extremely calm. He gently nodded:

"Shopkeeper Ma, you flatter me. Future cooperation will still require your support so that we can achieve the win-win collaboration you speak of.

As the saying goes, 'mountains high and roads long,' we should go slowly and surely. Next time Shopkeeper Ma is in Ziqiong City, I must have a drink with you!"

After speaking, Yang Bolin cupped his hands again, coolly shifted his gaze from the screen, and asked Gu Junming beside him:

"Shopkeeper Gu, how does one turn off this thing?"

Gu Junming smiled politely and pointed to the floating sphere on the screen:

"Just tap this with your finger."

Yang Bolin curiously examined the folding phone again, praising it:

"This is indeed a marvelous artifact."

He then made a motion as if to tap the floating sphere, ready to close the conversation.

Just as his finger was about to touch the screen, Ma Ning suddenly said:

"Shopkeeper Yang, please wait."

Seeing this, Yang Bolin's eyes flashed again, and he gracefully withdrew his hand, smiling as he asked:

"Shopkeeper Ma, is there anything else you need my help with?"

Ma Ning waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need help, and explained:

"Shopkeeper Yang, I forgot to tell you earlier, you quite like stinky tofu, right?

Later, I'll have Xiaogu pack some and send it to your residence. If you need more, just contact us anytime."

Yang Bolin felt a trace of disappointment in his heart but still managed to pull out a slight smile:

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Ma, for your kindness. I indeed have a taste for it, your thoughtfulness is appreciated."

He then paused and tentatively asked:

"So, Shopkeeper Ma, if there's nothing else, shall we part ways?"

"Alright, let's part here."

Yang Bolin nodded, once more reaching towards the small white sphere on the screen, while inwardly counting down:

Five, four, three, two, one.....

Just as he reached the number 'one,' Ma Ning suddenly smacked his forehead:

"Oh right, Shopkeeper Yang, look at my memory... there is one more thing I'd like to mention."

Yang Bolin's heart lifted, once again 'gracefully' looking at Ma Ning, feigning a 'please don't mind me' expression:

"Shopkeeper Ma, whatever it is, feel free to say it."

Ma Ning looked a bit embarrassed, carefully choosing his words:

"It's like this, Shopkeeper Yang, our commerce association recently captured a second-rank giant creature alive and named it Lanxi.

Recently, we found that it often likes to lean against the wall with its hands raised high, making a 'fafafa' sound, or waving some white cloth.

So, Shopkeeper Yang, could you help inquire about which known demonic beasts in the Demon Realm have such habits?"

Yang Bolin's chest rose and fell slightly a few times, but he still smiled and nodded:

"Small matter, small matter, I've taken note, Shopkeeper Ma. Is there anything else you need my help with?"

"Thank you, thank you, there's nothing else."

Yang Bolin nodded and reached out his hand a third time.

This time, as his finger touched the floating sphere and the entire screen went black, Ma Ning remained silent.

Meanwhile, inside the Fire Camp.

Wang Qiang, who had been watching the commotion, was whispering to Zhuo Yuanxing:

"Dr. Zhuo, care to make a guess?"

"I'll guess one minute."

"That's too long, I think half a minute."

"What shall we bet on?"

"A bowl of large eel noodles; in a few days, I can go back to Modu and call home, then just order takeout."

Thirty seconds later, a video request from the Taihe Building suddenly appeared on the main control screen.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang shrugged at Zhuo Yuanxing and pouted:

"Well, looks like we both guessed wrong."

A moment later, the video connected, and the screen showed Yang Bolin's somewhat helpless face:

"Shopkeeper Ma, name your price then."
