Chapter 962: Chapter 930: Shanshan’s Nascent Soul Formation

Drinking the Enlightenment Tea, at first, felt like just drinking regular tea, except it felt slightly hot on the lips.

Soon after, he noticed a divine presence of Dao being born, rapidly converging and circulating in his mind.

This feeling was incredibly peculiar, indescribable by words.

To draw an analogy, it’s like at some moment, the mind suddenly opened up, completely immersed in the process of contemplation and enlightenment.

This is enlightenment.

It’s a perfect time for cultivation.

"Enter a state of cultivation."

The sound of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s voice came through, and upon hearing it, Lu Ping immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and entered a state of cultivation.

He quickly immersed in a profound state of enlightenment.

Looking around, Shanshan, Li Zhilu, and the Void Celestial Sword Spirit also had reactions and immediately sat down to begin the enlightenment cultivation.

Especially Shanshan, as a demon beast, the effect of drinking the Enlightenment Tea was somewhat different from that of Lu Ping and the others.

Her bloodline was activated, generating a mysterious Dao presence, allowing her to feel the bottleneck of her strength gradually breaking through.

Earlier, since consuming the Divine Spring Essence Water, her cultivation had reached the Eighth-Layer Golden Core, and afterward, through her own cultivation, she broke through to the Ninth-Layer Golden Core Stage a few months ago.

She could already begin forming a Nascent Soul.

Now, after consuming this cup of Enlightenment Tea, she already had signs of forming a Nascent Soul, naturally advancing towards this step.

Unlike human race cultivators, different types of demon beasts face varying difficulties in forming a Nascent Soul.

Demon beasts with powerful bloodlines, such as a Tier Five Flood Dragon, might sleep a nap after reaching the Peak of Golden Core Stage and awaken with cultivation naturally advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, with a Nascent Soul formed within them.

Most demon beasts with weaker bloodlines, aside from the cultivation improvement brought by their own talent, must rely completely on their own efforts to cultivate, acquiring various heaven and earth resources, exotic treasures to enhance their cultivation.

Based on Shanshan’s Tier Four bloodline, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage isn’t easy, it requires relying on her postnatal effort in cultivation.

Now, with the aid of enlightenment, and having already reached the realm capable of forming a Nascent Soul.

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint saw this situation and immediately reached out, lightly tapping Shanshan’s brow.

A gentle power gradually infused, involving Nascent Soul formation guidance and ten sword forms, equating to the Nascent Soul formation within the Taiyi Bead, greatly increasing the success rate.

Then looking at the Void Celestial Sword Spirit and Li Zhilu, they were each also immersed in a state of cultivation.

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint smiled faintly, no longer disturbing, rising up to leave the Celestial Void Court.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit was the first to respond, breaking through to the Seventh-Layer Nascent Soul, and opened her eyes first.

Following her, that afternoon, Li Zhilu also had gains, breaking through consecutively from the Fifth-Layer Golden Core Stage to the Eighth-Layer Golden Core Stage.

Such a massive advancement in power made her feel incredibly joyful, and she smiled, looking first at Lu Ping who was still in enlightenment cultivation.

Looking to the side, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit had already come out of seclusion, sitting quietly there, acting as a protector for everyone.

Noticing Li Zhilu’s cultivation breakthrough, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit glanced lightly, nodding gently in response without speaking.

Li Zhilu smiled softly, noticing Shanshan still cultivating, not wanting to disturb, she quietly got up, chose a place opposite the Void Celestial Sword Spirit to sit down.

Time flew by, day turned into night, spring passed into autumn, a year swiftly whisked by.

Outside the courtyard, the scenery cycled and changed, the Silver-Horned Thunder Flood Dragon, three-headed spirit beast, and even the Void Celestial Extreme Saint would often come to check on the secluded cultivation state of Lu Ping and Shanshan.

On this day, the scene of Nascent Soul formation appeared, atop the Celestial Void Mountain, numerous thunderclouds converged, and surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi wildly gathered.

This scene drew immediate attention from the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, Li Zhilu, and others.

Rustling.

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint deployed a sound insulation spiritual shield, temporarily isolating the area where Lu Ping was from the outside, preventing disturbances from the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation later.

Rumbling.

The tribulation clouds rapidly converged, carrying rolling heavenly might, enveloping Shanshan’s head, as the first thunder tribulation plummeted straight down onto Shanshan’s delicate body.

Shanshan closed her eyes tightly, her body merely trembled slightly, without even a muffled grunt, quickly passing through the first thunder tribulation.

Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation has six in total, each one’s power progressively increases, with the sixth being the most formidable.

The tribulation clouds continued to gather, causing the weather atop Shuanghu Mountain to change dramatically.

Simultaneously, cultivators within the vicinity of Shuanghu Mountain, and even factions were attracted by this heavenly phenomenon, all looking up.

"Who is undergoing the tribulation?"

"This is... Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation."

"It’s coming from the direction of Shuanghu Mountain, could it be that a spirit beast of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint is advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it’s the descendant of a friend of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint, Central Yunzhou is about to welcome a new Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Several cultivators said so, while many others were filled with emotions.

Speaking of Shuanghu Mountain, the six Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulations descended in succession, Shanshan withstood them just like that, until the tribulation clouds dissipated, the world returned to peace, a powerful aura surged skyward, reaching into the clouds.

"Tribulation crossed successfully!"

"A new Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was born atop Shuanghu Mountain!"

Around Shuanghu Mountain, cultivators who had been focusing on this phenomenon were now spirited, some with envy, some with curiosity, pondering which senior’s power had significantly advanced, entering the ranks of Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After Shanshan broke through to higher cultivation, excitement and thrill were evident on her charming face.

Who would have thought, that she herself could one day enter the Nascent Soul Stage!

Among the ten sword forms she comprehended were the Chengying and Dragon Abyss Sword Forms.

Chengying can enhance agility through sword intent, able to perform Chengying Skill, transforming into many Chengying clones.

Dragon Abyss, on the other hand, has the effect of restraining the Demon Race, containing True Dragon intents, mastering this sword form gives Shanshan an implicit Beast Emperor aura, causing the Silver-Horned Thunder Flood Dragon and Double-eyed White Tiger to secretly fear.

Her power has already rivaled that Evergreen Turtle.

"I’ve reached the Nascent Soul Stage too!"

Shanshan happily jumped up and down, lacking the demeanor of a Nascent Soul Stage creature, which made the Void Celestial Sword Spirit and Li Zhilu laugh.

She was lively, not forgetting to bow towards the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s direction, saying: "Thank you, senior."

Before entering enlightenment seclusion, she felt the power emerging in her brow, naturally guessing it came from the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s work, benevolently aiding her.

"No need for formality."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint smiled faintly, his gaze then shifted to Lu Ping.

"Your family’s patriarch is about to break through in cultivation."
