Chapter 144: 143. Tribulation and commotion

What Jin didn’t know was that his breakthrough caused a huge commotion. Nox waited for Jin outside their house and he looked in his direction from time to time. When he sensed the stable aura, he also focused on his own cultivation.

He is also at the peak of the commander realm and after Jin, he is also going to break into the Spiritual Beast Lord realm.

Jin was already in the closed-door cultivation for a week now. Unlike Rachel, whose path was already settled, Jin was creating his own and this is taking time.

After one week, a huge boom sounded around the house which alarmed Nox. He immediately looked into the direction of Jin and he saw many nodes moving in the direction of Jin but they all were not able to enter for some reason and the next day, these nodes disappeared and then a special field emerged.

It was not a field. It was more like surrounding heaven and earth change that was only perceived by the rank four cultivators because this is the guidance towards the fifth rank of cultivation.

As the field became more and more alarming, Moonfern and the clone of the ancient tree also appeared. The both were shocked by the sheer number of the surroundings.

The old man spoke,

"Sublimation of the soul power to such an extent. It is already at the peak of the lord realm and the next moment will be the void entity."

Moonfern also nodded as she sensed the changes around the surroundings. This was the condensation of the mark and the blessing from the universe follows after this.

But just as they waited for the blessing, they sensed the universal laws being rejected by someone.

The old man and Moonfern were stunned when they saw this. The next moment, a deep rumbling sounded and the laws around them fluctuated widely.

Nox was already prepared to take action. The moment the laws rumbled, he picked Beat and Pulse and throwed them in the air as instructed.

The moment the two weapons appeared in the air, they created a domain that surrounded the entire village and the area beyond the village.

Since this is day at present, there was only vitality in the surroundings.

Moonfern trembled slightly and spoke,

"He rejected the universal life leap blessings? Wouldn’t that mean that his life span will be shorter than others."

The old man remained silent for some time before he spoke,

"If I am not wrong, he is choosing the second path. I heard the myths of this path and from my memories I only know that the cultivator rejects the universal benefits till the end to transcend." Moonfern was shocked when she heard that because she never heard anything from the elders of her clan.

They all looked in the direction of Jin.

____________

Jin looked at the law’s fluctuations around him and from what he could guess, they are the first layer of laws. Since he is just a lord realm expert, the universe is not going to spend its efforts on him that much.

He looked at the laws that tried to entangle with him but he was always fearless. His condensed soul mark appeared on his forehead and it shone.

With that, the surrounding area around him was affected and everything slowed down. Even the universal laws were slowed somewhat. But the sigil can only provide him support till the nodes and he was against the first layer of laws.

Then he felt it, the stripping of life essence from him.

The life essence of any cultivator is the essence that they achieve with each cultivation and this is the true essence of their lifespan.

Jin narrowed his eyes and then he snorted. He let the universal law do whatever they wanted to do. Because he remembered that Erebus told him that lifespan is only related to a cultivator cultivation level.

Since he broke into the lord realm with no life leap. His lifespan will also be short from that of a Lord Realm expert.

He continued to let life strip away from him and he used the spiritual level cultivation to devour the surrounding vitality. As the life force was fading and the vitality was nourishing him, this process continued.

Since Jin was contracted to Nox, his life span was already higher than a normal soul born expert. He can live up to 1500 years and as life continues to strip away from him. He felt that half of his life had been stripped.

Nox started to panic slightly because he can sense the life force in him fading. Half a day passed. And the life span in Jin is reduced to 1200 years.

Jin can sense the changes in him. He knew that he might not have much time, so, he did the opposite of what he was doing for so long.

His soul power pushed the stripping instead of slowing down and Jin continued to do this. He took out the flower and directly pulled it into his mouth.

After that, a huge vitality appeared from him. He continued to absorb the vitality from the surroundings and the flower.

He never thought that his lifespan would suppress the limits because of them and when almost all of his lifespan was stripped from him, it slowly stopped.

Since he can live for 1500 years in the soul born, thanks to Nox, the life essence stripped from him was only 1500 to 2000 something.

Jin couldn’t feel it but he could perceive it. After the life stripping paused completely, he sensed the changes and from what he felt, his lifespan was reduced to 500 or 600 years.

He sighed in relief when he saw that.

But this was not the end of it. After the stripping comes the blessing of reality. The universe is always partial and indifferent to all beings.

After the stripping, it started to return the vitality that rightfully belonged to Jin. When his life span increased to 1800 or something, it stopped there.

Because what the universe took from him was his lifespan but not what was returned to him was the lifespan that was increased from the external sources. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The lifespan of the Green Life Purple Flower was equal to 1500 years of life essence. And the vitality from the surroundings increased it by a few years.

After the life tribulation, Jin sighed and looked at himself by condensing a mirror from the soul mark.

But he knew that it was far from here. Since he can comprehend the nodes before the Lord realm, he continued to do that even though he was ready to break through at any moment in the past three and half years.

He sensed the changes in his soul power and he can sense that this power is not like a soul lord. He can control this power very well and the surrounding is also controlled by him but he can’t be like the Soul Lord who has the ultimate control over the heaven and earth around him.

Jin can control the near surroundings and he can sense that unlike the control of a Lord realm expert, he has absolute control over his surroundings.

The lord realm is divided into three stages.

The mark condensing stage where the mark is condensed and it can be used as a weapon.

As the comprehension of the odes gets improved, the Lord realm expert improves more and more.

The second stage is the sublimation of the mark. Where it can be used even without its external uses. In this realm, the cultivator also chooses another node to merge with his true one.

And the final path is the merging of the nodes where one last node is cultivated.

And then all the three nodes are merged to create a new path for the laws. The more the merrier but only three can be condensed so far. There are some exceptions.

After that, he also sensed his cultivation in the Mortal Mill and was surprised.
