Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 722 - 337: Nascent Soul Formation (Part 1)_3
The loss of two Nascent Soul True Monarchs is too heavy for the Red Sand Sect.
This undoubtedly diminishes their hope of surviving the great calamity of domain invasion significantly.
...
A month and a half later.
Everything was prepared, and Xu Ping formally began Nascent Soul Formation.
Underground Palace Dojo.
"Guard the entrance, no matter how great the matter, don’t disturb me," Xu Ping solemnly instructed the Water Lake Rat.
The Water Lake Rat knew the importance of this event and assured, patting its chest, "Don’t worry, Master, even if the sky falls, it won’t affect you."
"Mm."
Xu Ping nodded slightly and entered the quiet room with a graceful flow of his robes.
Subsequently, the stone door silently fell, with white light shimmering on it, revealing a layer of dense runes. Xu Ping activated another layer of restriction inside to prevent any unexpected disturbance during Nascent Soul Formation.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Xu Ping carefully reflected on his past life experiences from beginning to end.
From the initial fear of traversing here, the relief of stabilizing his footing, the astonishment at arriving in Qiu Xuan Immortal City, the joy of achieving Foundation Establishment...
As the memories transitioned from originally vague to gradually as clear as day, Xu Ping’s expression fluctuated from joy to anger unpredictably, no longer maintaining the composed demeanor of the past.
Several hours later.
Xu Ping’s expression returned to tranquility, his mind clear and almost in accord with the Dao.
"Let’s begin!"
Xu Ping softly uttered, his state of mind began to sink, and the mana from his Golden Core started circulating slowly.
At this moment, his cultivation realm was fully stabilized at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, perfectly harmonious, without flaw or leak.
Mana, Divine Sense, and mindset continuously adjusted, seeking the best opportunity of a moment of enlightenment from the heavens.
...
A month later.
Underground Palace Dojo,
Sweeping torrents of spiritual energy burst forth, transforming into an invisible flood, surging towards the direction of the underground palace.
Strangely, these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were not moving aimlessly, but as if guided by some mysterious force, forming into orderly vortices.
Layer upon layer, like the spiritual shadow of a divine tree reaching up to the sky, deeply rooted, luxuriant in branches and leaves, dazzling between Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi roared in, forming a swirling tide of Spiritual Qi, stretching from dozens of miles, to hundreds of miles, up to over a thousand miles.
The phenomenon of Nascent Soul Formation, startling thousands of miles!
"The impact on Nascent Soul has begun!"
Within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, True Monarch Lan Ling, Xie Lu, Qin Chenfeng...
The sect, from top to bottom, numerous cultivators were alerted by the phenomenon, gazing toward the direction of the underground palace dojo.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the last time a cultivator attempted Nascent Soul Formation was decades ago, with the successful True Monarch Yun Qing.
And compared to Yun Qing True Monarch, Elder Yan’s talent and battle power were clearly stronger, making the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul much higher.
The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation.
And the result, was just as they expected.
Initially, the mana pressure from the underground palace dojo quickly surpassed the core formation stage’s limits, reaching the Nascent Soul level!
"Such mana foundation probably far exceeds that of an ordinary cultivator at Golden Core Perfection."
True Monarch Lan Ling stood on the clouds, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she had herself experienced the Nascent Soul Tribulation and witnessed several Nascent Soul True Monarchs transcending their tribulations.
By comparison, she naturally found Xu Ping’s mana foundation far superior, at least reaching the quasi-Fourth Rank level.
"With such a foundation, such battle power, Junior Brother Yan should be able to safely pass the first two stages of Nascent Soul Formation."
True Monarch Lan Ling showed a delighted expression, but worry quickly resurfaced in her heart.
For among the three tribulations of Nascent Soul, the most difficult was the last one—Heart Demon Tribulation.
If one cannot overcome it, there is only the path to the destruction of the soul and body.
And whether Xu Ping could smoothly get through this final hurdle, not even True Monarch Lan Ling dared to assert lightly.
...
Within the underground cave, time flowed like water, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuated like the tides.
However, Xu Ping sat like a mountain, his aura surging yet restrained with perfect control.
His entire being surged with mana, like the cascading Milky Way of the Nine Heavens; both grand and orderly.
As his state of mind became increasingly clear, the golden core within him emitted a gentle radiance, illuminating the entire secret chamber unpredictably.
Xu Ping’s breath was long and unending, and his divine soul was clear and steady, dexterously maneuvering the immense mana within him.
Two days later, a thin crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the golden core within his dantian, as if an eggshell about to break, heralding new life emerging.
At this moment, a violent force emanated from Xu Ping’s body, filled with a destructive alchemical aura, like a storm descending, shaking the surroundings!
In the secret chamber, the array restrictions flashed erratically, mysterious runes lit up together, forming layers of protection.
If not for these array restrictions being solid enough, the entire underground palace might have turned to dust under this force.
Amidst the sounds of crumbling earth and stone, mingled with the buzzing of the restrictions, it seemed as if even space itself was being torn apart.
Breaking the core to form the Nascent Soul, is the most dangerous step in Nascent Soul Formation.
This stage demands extremely high control over mana and the refinement of Divine Sense.
If the mana is not pure enough, it becomes increasingly uncontrollable, necessitating greater reliance on external assistance.
Many cultivators fail at this step due to insufficient foundational depth.
"Breaking the core to form the Nascent Soul, it all depends on this!"
Xu Ping’s gaze was like lightning, no longer hesitating, he took out the Nascent Soul Pill and swallowed it whole.
The medicinal power entered his body, like a trickling stream, nurturing every meridian within him, making ready for the impending transformation.
Crack!
A light sound, like the breaking of the shackles of time.
A large opening cracked on the top of the golden core, an exceedingly pure life force surged forth.
The crack rapidly extended, like tortoiseshell patterns, covering the entire surface of the golden core.
Buzz!
The core’s essence within began to boil and sublimate, circulating with mysterious Dao rhythms, nurturing a profound power within Xu Ping.
Simultaneously, within Xu Ping’s Mud Ball Palace, his Sea of Consciousness’s divine soul and divine sense gradually descended, beginning to merge and interweave with the boiling and sublimating essence of the golden core.
In a trance, Xu Ping felt as if his soul was segmented into thousands, yet under the guidance of some mysterious power, it was reconstituting as one.
