Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, huh?

All thanks to the Supreme City treasury he got from Shangguan Suiyun, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds.

But a rapid rise is one thing—what’s more important is stabilizing one’s cultivation.

Stabilizing the cultivation base was the true priority.

However, the current situation didn’t allow him the time to continue stabilizing.

Li Xuanxiao had no choice but to go for the Nascent Soul breakthrough to face the changes ahead.

.........

From Golden Core to Nascent Soul,

One had to cultivate to the ninth rotation in full.

What did “ninth rotation complete” mean?

Its features were clear: Dao patterns would surface on the skin, internal energy would compress to the extreme, creating an embryonic fluctuation.

Like a baby forming inside a womb.

In addition, the cultivator needed abundant spiritual energy, perfect physical conditions, and a fully nourished divine soul.

Breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul wasn’t just about cultivation level.

It also required the realization of “clarity of mind.”

That meant a clear Dao Heart, a revelation under specific conditions.

And that was just the internal side.

Externally, the aid of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was indispensable.

One had to take a Nascent-Breaking Pill, and if fortunate, rely on things like a spirit vein core or Innate Purple Qi, divine essences of heaven and earth, to energize and protect the pill.

You could say every step a cultivator took was extremely difficult, demanding immense effort.

Thinking back to the last time he broke into the Golden Core Stage,

Li Xuanxiao realized he still wasn’t adequately prepared.

His plan titled “Thirty Years to Foundation, Fifty to Golden Core, One Hundred to Nascent Soul.”

That had been laid out ever since he entered Mount Shushan.

Now, it was finally time to put it to use.

And so, Li Xuanxiao, who had been preparing for a year, submitted his request to the sect to form a Nascent Soul.

Finally, it was time for breakthrough.

From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, no one knew how many years it had taken him.

With a snot-filled, tearful face, he poured out his struggles to the Junior Elder.

The Junior Elder patted him on the shoulder.

“Keep going. Everyone walks this path step by step.”

Li Xuanxiao nodded and smoothly received the sect’s approval.

Carrying the hopes of Silver Sword Peak, he left Mount Shushan.

“Little Junior Brother, when’s the breakthrough?”

“One month from now!” Li Xuanxiao answered seriously.

“Little Junior Brother, when you’re out, when will the breakthrough be?”

“Around two months later.” Li Xuanxiao replied with equal seriousness.

“Little Junior Brother, when’s the breakthrough?”

“Roughly three months from now!”

“........”

Li Xuanxiao had sent fake closed-door cultivation notices to more than thirty senior and junior brothers—each with different times and locations.

“..........”

Li Xuanxiao shut down all his wandering thoughts.

At this moment, Soul Elder had fallen into slumber.

Zhang Haoran made up an excuse to stay home pretending to be ill.

And Jia Sidao also found a reason to go into seclusion.

There was no choice—trying to control all three of them at once

would slow down his breakthrough and risk spawning a heart demon.

So for the sake of his breakthrough, Li Xuanxiao deactivated all of his clones.

He couldn’t even monitor Mount Shushan anymore.

No one knew how much courage it took for him to make this decision.

Mount Shushan was like a powder keg—one misstep and it could all blow.

Thus, Li Xuanxiao could only entrust this perilous task to Junior Sister Zhao Lu and Feng Liuli.

To be extra safe, he even drugged Senior Brother Lu Ziyin so he wouldn’t get involved with Feng Liuli for a while.

No telling what ideas the two might get otherwise.

He instructed Zhao Lu and Feng Liuli: if anything happened, handle it if they could.

If not, mediate and monitor in secret—wait for his return before making any decisions.

Both agreed.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. While you’re gone, I and Junior Sister will take good care of Silver Sword Peak and Mount Shushan.” Zhao Lu said confidently.

Li Xuanxiao nodded, but his face was still full of worry.

“If you don’t hear from me in six months, go to the *** behind the mountain. Got it?”

Li Xuanxiao gave Zhao Lu a secret location in the back mountain.

If she received no secret messages from him after six months,

It would mean something had definitely happened to him.

Zhao Lu could then go to a hidden spot behind Silver Sword Peak.

Only she could approach the mechanism puppets there without being attacked.

And only she knew the secret.

Zhao Lu would enter his first secret chamber.

Inside, she would find the Silver Sword Peak Manual, the Mount Shushan Table, 182 Ways to Handle Love-Obsessed Minds,

And his entire blueprint for the next hundred years of Mount Shushan.

Plus the 200-year plan, the 300-year plan...

If he didn’t return for one full year,

She could enter the second chamber, which contained all his remaining treasures.

If he was gone for two full years,

She could access the final chamber.

Everything of his was in there!!!

And Zhao Lu would gain authority to monitor all of Mount Shushan.

As for what happened to Mount Shushan afterward, that was up to fate.

By then, he’d already be dead.

Li Xuanxiao had arranged even his posthumous affairs with great care.

“............”

May the Heavenly Dao bless him—no more unexpected accidents, please.

Li Xuanxiao silently prayed as he flew.

But on second thought...

Every time he prayed, it seemed the Heavenly Dao never actually helped him. freёnovelkiss.com

Thinking back on it all,

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but shake his head.

Not long after, he arrived at the spot he had chosen for his tribulation.

It wasn’t Shencao Mountain.

Because tribulation was a matter of life and death.

Too many people monitored Shencao Mountain.

It was under the spotlight—and the Sword Spirit wasn’t fully trustworthy.

If it didn’t just want to be a sword spirit but aimed to seize his body—then what?~

Li Xuanxiao landed at his tribulation site.

A vast, icy plain.

A concealed formation had long been prepared. Li Xuanxiao took a deep breath.

His mechanism puppets were spread out across a thousand-li radius.

While he concentrated on his breakthrough,

The puppets would detect anyone approaching.

If they got too close and held ill intent, the puppets would strike.

Li Xuanxiao focused his mind, bathed, and changed into clean clothes.

Then he slowly swallowed the Nascent-Breaking Pill and began channeling his spiritual energy.

Three days later, storm clouds gathered in the sky.

The Heavenly Tribulation was brewing!!
