Infinite Professions-Chapter 112 - 36: Sixth Transformation
Power of Destiny!
According to the data from the Human Empire and Shen Hex’s own research, this Power of Heaven and Earth can be divided into four levels.
The first level is the most basic primordial qi, forming various substances such as rice and flour, which can be absorbed and utilized to some extent by the human body.
The second level is further spiritual qi, which floats between heaven and earth and must be absorbed and utilized through special methods, such as the cultivation techniques of cultivators and spirit control masters.
The third level is the high-purity gang sha, which can already manifest tangibly between heaven and earth, even blending with the environment, forming various gang qi and evil qi. It not only aids in cultivation, refining the golden core, but can also be used in artifact refining, classified as high-level spiritual objects.
The fourth level is the high-level power of heaven and earth, like Vast Righteous Qi, Emperor Dragon Qi, and the power of destiny from the Spirit Control Realm, etc., which are associated with the Celestial Dao, the high-level power of the world, possessing incredible might.
Martial artists refine the golden core with the third level of gang sha.
However, if conditions permit, using the fourth-level celestial dao power would be even better. Shen Hex had heard on some online forums about the existence of Vast Golden Core, Emperor Dao Golden Pill, and even Celestial Dao Golden Pill.
Although they are also nine-transformation golden cores, because they are refined with high-level celestial dao power, they are generally stronger than nine-transformation golden cores refined with gang sha, and can be seen as an alternative "tenth-transformation golden core."
As a Celestial Destiny Spirit Master, Shen Hex possesses the power of destiny, the ultimate power of destiny with the unity of the nine virtues. If he wishes, he could easily refine a Celestial Destiny Golden Core.
But he didn’t do so.
Because it’s meaningless.
In the Spirit Control Realm, it’s meaningless because he is already a Celestial Destiny Spirit Master, whether he refines the Celestial Destiny Golden Core or not, he is an invincible existence, at most accumulating some experience.
In the real world, it’s meaningless because the nine great powers of destiny are specialties of the Spirit Control Realm, and there’s probably no way to obtain them in the real world, let alone use them to refine a golden core.
Furthermore, he couldn’t be sure if consuming this power of destiny to refine a golden core would allow him to stay in this world by breaking limits, or if it would affect this world’s dimensional ascent.
Therefore, he ultimately did not refine the Celestial Destiny Golden Core.
However, just because the Celestial Destiny Golden Core cannot be refined, it doesn’t mean other golden cores cannot be.
Shen Hex had not forgotten that his Tier Three professional [Saint Walker] has the ability to gather Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi through Killing Life and Cutting Karma. At that time, he might target objectives like cultists, condensing a Vast Golden Core in the real world.
Above is the entire harvest from his martial arts cultivation.
Finally, let’s look at the aspect of Spirit Control.
With the nine great destinies in him, Shen Hex’s spirit control cultivation has already broken conventional limits and reached the pinnacle of the world, becoming an eternally undefeated Celestial Destiny Spirit Master, with greatly enhanced spiritual power.
So, in this area, he doesn’t need any cultivation.
But not needing cultivation does not mean he doesn’t want to cultivate.
Like practicing martial arts, over the years, he has been constantly reviewing and gaining new knowledge. He not only repeatedly polished the Spirit Control Cultivation Method from Tier One to Tier Six, thoroughly understanding it, but also collected various secret combat techniques from the past Three Great Kingdoms and the Spirit Control City, compiling them into a "Spirit Control Scripture."
This Spirit Control Scripture is divided into two parts, the upper part being the Spirit Control Scripture, containing various secret techniques of the Spirit Control Realm, including the Spirit Control Technique for cultivation, Spirit Control Techniques for combat assistance, and various uses of spirit control arrays, spirit-controlling potions, and the making of Spirit Control Armor...
The lower part is the Beast Taming Scripture, documenting knowledge related to spirit beasts, including spirit beast combat skills across different ranks and types, as well as technical points in spirit beast breeding and cultivation. In summary, all content related to spirit beasts is in this lower part of the Beast Taming Scripture.
Such a classic, with both parts, can be said to encompass all the civilized accomplishments of the Spirit Control World over fifteen thousand years, truly worthy of the name "Spirit Control Scripture."
Although the Human Empire also has a beast-taming spirit control system, developed far more powerful and mature than the Spirit Control Realm, the penniless Shen Hex really had no way to reach out for more, so for now, he can only rely on the Spirit Control Scripture until he has wealth to seek further knowledge.
Eternal Martial Country!
Nine-Transformation Golden Core!
Beast Taming Spirit Scripture!
These are the three major achievements of Shen Hex’s millennium of accumulation.
But this is not all, for he also possesses another cheat.
Profession!
Shen Hex looked at his profession panel, the Spirit Control Martial Monarch had long been at full level, ready for professional advancement at any time.
This is his first Tier Six profession, and in order to enhance its quality, Shen Hex deliberately delayed for a thousand years, fully expanding his influence on the world, to exchange for an "oversized" Tier Six profession.
Now is the time to reap the results!
Without any hesitation, Shen Hex immediately began his professional advancement.
"Retain Professional Talent!"
"Retain Professional Skills!"
"Begin Professional Advancement!"
"Based on your experience and achievements, you have obtained a new profession - Celestial Destiny Saint Master!"
"Celestial Destiny Saint Master: You are the greatest savior of the Spirit Control Continent, a Celestial Chosen One with the nine great virtues in one, the founder, leader, and teacher of the Martial Country, truly deserving of the name ’Most Holy and Primal Teacher.’
You gain massive experience through actions like breeding spirit beasts, martial arts cultivation, and teaching disciples. When these actions align with the nine great virtues of bravery, love, wisdom, innocence, kindness, hope, brightness, justice, and protection, the professional experience gains the ’Destiny’ trait.
Regardless of whether a contract is signed, the spirit beasts you breed, disciples you teach, and even students of your spirit control techniques and martial arts techniques will bring you certain spiritual and physical enhancements, as well as feedback from spirit control martial arts.
"Professional Talent: Chapter of Celestial Destiny (Consumes ’Destiny’-type professional experience to sacrifice and refine the exclusive professional item Chapter of Celestial Destiny, which can evolve ordinary spirit beasts into Celestial Destiny Sacred Beasts and significantly enhance all their abilities.)"
...
Sixth Professional Transformation, no options.
But this was to be expected.
As it was mentioned before, when the impact caused by a Professional becomes unrivaled in a certain aspect, it leads to the creation of a particular profession that stands out too much, making it incomparable to other professions, eventually resulting in reduced or even disappeared choices.
Over the millennia, Shen Hex has done many things with impacts in various fields, but the greatest was his role as a Celestial Destiny Spirit Master, founding the Martial Country, stabilizing the world for a thousand years, and even accelerating the ascension of the world.
So in the end, with no other choice, he was directly transitioned into a Celestial Destiny Saint Master.
Although there were no choices, this profession is quite good, as it allows for the cultivation of Spirit Beasts, training disciples, and through spreading Spirit Control, spreading Martial Arts to receive feedback from the Spirit Control Martial Dao, tightly binding one’s own cultivation with the population under governance.
This was just like opening a cultivation cheating method for Shen Hex, whose aptitude was just average. As long as he equipped himself with a bunch of cultivation pendants, his cultivation would soar rapidly, narrowing the gap between him and the great powers and conglomerates of the Human Empire in the real world.
Besides this, the Celestial Destiny Saint Master could acquire Power of Destiny through actions that conform to the "Nine Great Virtues", which could be used not only to cultivate Celestial Destiny Sacred Beasts but also to aid his own cultivation, refining a Celestial Destiny Golden Core.
It’s truly like having a pillow delivered when drowsiness sets in!
Most importantly, as a profession within the Spirit Control System, this path’s upgrade speed is extremely fast, with no need for dangerous battles; as long as proper cultivation is done, one can cultivate a realm.
This is exceptionally friendly to Shen Hex.
He, actually, is someone who loves peace very much, and does not like to live a life filled with fighting and killing, but the world always has some bastards, forcing him to pick up the butcher’s knife, to kill in order to stop killing, to use violence to curb violence.
If he had a choice, he would be delighted to live as a carefree farmer, plowing fields, raising pigs, practicing martial arts, cultivating immortality, with no one bothering him, nor does he bother anyone else, everyone lives happily, and the world is beautiful and peaceful.
Although looking at the current situation, this is a difficult vision to achieve, but cultivating fields and raising pigs should still be possible, just with no guarantee of stability, especially with those mad cultists, who forever disrupt peace.
...

Although he was about to depart, Shen Hex was still extremely satisfied.
Finally, he raised his head, looking at the world with a hint of nostalgia: "Farewell!"
"Boom!!!"
In his words, golden light worked, the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Fire surged out, consuming and refining his Martial Dao body that had been forged for a millennium by the Dragon Tiger Divine Gang, which had already become Vajra Indestructible, as that ancient and legendary Martial Dao Primordial Qi gradually dissipated.
At the same time, outside the forbidden area.
"Roar!!!"
"Howl!!!"
"Wail!!!"
"Cry!!!"
Dragon roars, tiger screams, ape cries, crow caws.
Feeling the rapidly dissipating Martial Dao Primordial Qi within the forbidden area, the Nine Sacred Beasts and numerous Kings and Emperors howled mournfully, making the final farewell for their master.
"Teacher!"
"Sovereign!"
"We... will not let you down!"
A few elders outside, upon witnessing this scene, also understood, immediately knelt and kowtowed with tears.
Finally, all returned to silence, with no trace of anyone left within the forbidden area, only an immaculate Martial Arts Golden Core, left on the golden throne that sealed the darkness.
