Chapter 2281: Chapter 756:
The process of breaking through to Nascent Soul is exceedingly slow.
It consumes even more time than Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.
This is quite normal.
In cultivation, a realm is like a natural barrier.
Each time a realm is crossed, the obstacles multiply in difficulty.
As for Core Formation breaking through to Nascent Soul, its difficulty compared to Qi Refinement breaking through to Foundation Establishment is exponentially greater!
“Boom boom boom!!!”
As the whirlpool of nature’s spiritual energy roared, Lu Changsheng felt not only was the spiritual energy on Rongyue Island affected, but the Spirit Vein also began to tremble.
“Is this Jing Qing Zhenren trying to break through to Earth Dao Nascent Soul?”
Nascent Soul is divided into Human Dao, Earth Dao, and Heavenly Dao.
Human Dao Nascent Soul is the normal breakthrough, forming an infant from the shattered pill.
Earth Dao Nascent Soul, during the breakthrough process, requires connecting to the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein’s Earth Veins to temper the physical body, mana, soul, and the meridians and dantian, thus completing the formation of an infant from the shattered pill.
Currently, the Spirit Vein’s tremor is likely due to Jing Qing Zhenren’s substantial activation of Earth Veins.
Lu Changsheng’s eyes intertwined with golden runes, intending to examine the Spirit Vein situation of the Goddess Palace.
But at this moment, the Mountain Protection Array of the Goddess Palace was operating, sealing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, unless his pupil skill, Dragon Seeking Art advanced further, it’s difficult to discern the real situation.
“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”
As the Spirit Vein’s tremor grew more intense, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed an extraordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism spewing forth from the vortex of spiritual energy tides above the Goddess Palace.
It was as if a vague apparition of a Daoist appeared.
“Is this… Dan Shattering Infant Emergence!?”
Lu Changsheng activated his Fire Golden Eye, scrutinizing the apparition, nature’s Qi Mechanism, realizing this was the shattering of the Golden Core and emergence of the Nascent Soul!
The journey from Core Formation to Nascent Soul has three small trials and three major trials.
The small trials are the body, mana, and Divine Sense.
The major trials are Dan Shattering Infant Emergence, Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, and Demonic Tribulation!
Through the Nascent Soul Qi Mechanism above the Goddess Palace, Lu Changsheng realized the Elder Jing Qing had completed the Nascent Soul’s small trials and the first major trial—Dan Shattering Infant Emergence!
“This Elder Jing Qing is renowned as one of the most promising cultivators on Penglai Island to become Nascent Soul. To dare attempt Earth Dao Nascent Soul, indeed extraordinary, with profound foundations. Even without the Immortal Golden Core, it’s at least a Second Grade Golden Core, adequately prepared!”
Lu Changsheng praised inwardly.
Achieving this step already surpasses many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Next, he just needs to stabilize the Nascent Soul prototype, fully transform into an infant, and overcome the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and Demonic Tribulation to successfully advance to Nascent Soul!
But from this point onward, Nascent Soul has no regrets, moving forward with no retreat!
The small trials of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and even the step of Shattering Pill into Infant, if problems arise, without success, the cultivator still has a chance to survive, possibly maintaining their cultivation level.
However, once the pill is shattered to form an infant and faced with Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and Demonic Tribulation, there is no retreat.
Failure results in death and the dissipation of one’s Dao!
Attempting Nascent Soul to revert to Dan is nearly impossible!
“Elder Jing Qing shattered the pill to form an infant smoothly, well-prepared, with at least a fifty percent chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul!”
Meanwhile, on Divine Maiden Peak, watching Elder Jing Qing’s breakthrough, Shen Baishuang observed the scene with delight.
Jing Qing Zhenren is a direct lineage cultivator of the Goddess Palace.
If he breaks through to Nascent Soul, it surely is a great joy for the Goddess Palace.
Yet, recalling Elder Jing Qing’s affection for her little sister, he once expressed that upon breaking through to Nascent Soul, he would propose a Dao Companion to Shen Yiren.
Now… another Elder, Xuanmu, has come to the palace.
This Elder Xuanmu also harbors fondness for her little sister.
If he witnesses Elder Jing Qing’s proposal to her little sister, will he be disheartened and choose to leave the Goddess Palace?
“Little sister, Elder Jing Qing once said, upon breaking through to Nascent Soul, he would offer you a Dao Companion invitation. Do you plan to accept or refuse it when the time comes?”
Shen Baishuang looked beside her, standing shoulder to shoulder with her elder sister Shen Jianjia, a slender maiden dressed in a green skirt, with a delicate and graceful demeanor, said with a hint of amusement.
“Second sister, please don’t joke.”
Shen Yiren said softly, naturally aware of Elder Jing Qing’s affection for her.
However, in her view, their personalities don’t quite match.
Their interactions are not as comfortable and natural as with Elder Xuanmu.
“Hehe.”
With her elder sister Shen Jianjia nearby, Shen Baishuang didn’t tease further, merely chuckled softly, then continued to gaze at the nearby Nascent Soul phenomenon.
“Ssss——”
When Elder Jing Qing completed the formation of an infant from shattered pill, the dark tribulation clouds in the heavens brewed swiftly, lightning surged and rolled.
For a moment, cultivators in the Goddess Palace, even on Penglai Island, couldn’t help but behold the heavenly majesty of the tribulation clouds, feeling a mix of anxiety and overwhelming anticipation.
Lu Changsheng watched the tribulation clouds in the heavens, shaking his head slightly.
Elder Jing Qing’s tribulation, even compared to the Fourth Rank tribulation of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, is inferior compared to his own Body Refining Heavenly Tribulation.
However, the thunder tribulation is still brewing.
As Elder Jing Qing’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body nurtures, its power gradually increases.
When his Nascent Soul fully matures and his inner mana starts transforming towards Nascent Soul Magic Power, the tribulation will then descend with a boom.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation pierced the heavens, resounding through the world.
Even with formations shrouding and isolating, Lu Changsheng could vaguely make out the specifics.
One round!
Two rounds!
Three rounds!
Ninefold Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, each round stronger than the last, as if destructing the heavens and earth.
Due to formation isolation, Lu Changsheng only knew Elder Jing Qing passed the thunder tribulation but was unclear about his Qi Mechanism state.
“Only the Demonic Tribulation remains.”
“As the Goddess Palace is of Nascent Soul Level Power, they surely prepared Heart Tribulation type Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects for Elder Jing Qing, it seems this person is already guaranteed success in advancing to Nascent Soul.”
Although the Demonic Tribulation is exceedingly dangerous, even harder than the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
Yet, with an elixir like the [Demon Warding Detox Pill], the power of the Demonic Tribulation can be diminished significantly.
