Chapter 330 Proving the Nascent Soul Stage
"Ugh!"
"My meridians are running backwards, my lower abdomen is cracked... It's really painful."
Fang Qing felt the changes within his body, and the 'Infant Condensation Pill' in his mouth transformed into golden liquid, instantly sliding down his throat.
In an instant, a mysterious medicinal power was released, allowing him to maintain a clear mind and his near-fourth-level divine sense spread throughout his body, forcibly suppressing the rampaging magical power.
Even the cracked dantian was healed by a mysterious medicinal power, preventing further damage...
The majority of the 'Infant Condensation Pill's' medicinal power settled inside the dantian, where a 'female spirit' was formed within the shattered true core!
At first, it only had a glimmer of light, and then it became a phantom of a nascent soul.
The tiny nascent soul opened its mouth and swallowed a fragment of a true pill, instantly making its nascent soul body more solid.
After completing the first step, the subsequent progress accelerated dramatically.
"It turns out that the most important medicinal property of the 'Infant Condensation Pill' lies not in protecting the body, but in enlightening the 'infant spirit's' spirituality..."
A True Core cultivator must shatter their core to condense their Nascent Soul. If the True Core shatters before the Nascent Soul is formed, then the cultivator has completely passed away, and even a god cannot save them...
The most mysterious aspect of the "Infant Condensation Pill" lies in its ability to complete the first step from nothing to something, by first conjuring up a bit of "infant spirit".
This is the soul of the Nascent Soul. With this as a foundation, the subsequent operations will naturally be easier.
Fang Qing circulated the Nascent Soul Condensation chapter of the "Swallowing the Sea Technique," continuously refining the Nascent Soul, causing the infant spirit to transform into an illusory Nascent Soul, and then from the illusory to the real...
It sounds easy, but in reality, it's a huge test of magical power, spiritual consciousness, and physical strength.
Fortunately, he cultivated a top-tier technique, and his spiritual sense and physical strength both reached the near-fourth level, so he escaped danger without incident along the way.
Once the nascent soul within his dantian had completely solidified from its ethereal state, Fang Qing made a hand seal with one hand.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and a dark, luminous light appeared above his head.
A miniature Nascent Soul emerged from the radiance, slightly larger than the second Nascent Soul. It wore a jet-black robe, had what appeared to be a third vertical eye between its brows, held the 'Sea-Swallowing Bottle,' and had a mirror hanging behind its head—the 'Mysterious Nether Mirror'!
"With the body of a Nascent Soul, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... any spell will be greatly amplified in power."
The tiny nascent soul looked exactly like Fang Qing, its eyes filled with childlike innocence, and suddenly it made a hand seal.
Boom!
Within a radius of a hundred miles around Yuquan Island, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges wildly.
Countless cyan, crimson, black, and white orbs of light emerged from the sky, the deep sea, the earth, and the vegetation, converging at the top of the cave and transforming into an indescribable and terrifying celestial phenomenon!
"The tribulation of inner demons is coming..."
With a wave of her small Nascent Soul hand, Fang Qing swallowed the Forget-Worry Pill.
The "Forget-Me-Not Pill" is not for cultivators to take orally, but for those in the Nascent Soul stage!
After swallowing the "Forget-Me-Not Pill," Fang Qing's nascent soul sat cross-legged atop his head, and the "Abyss Eye Pearl" and the "Mysterious Nether Mirror" shone brightly...
……
Yuquan Island.
Rumble!
A powerful surge of magical energy suddenly erupted from within the cave, causing a disturbance of spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles.
The impact was so great that even Yu Xiang'er could not maintain her levitation and landed on a mountaintop.
"The aura of Nascent Soul level magic power..."
"The Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon, affecting a hundred miles... truly lives up to its reputation!"
Qin Ruxue and Xiang Dahu landed beside Yu Xiang'er, their eyes filled with awe for the might of Heaven.
"Get ready... the big one is coming."
A figure in a green robe suddenly appeared; it was Fang Qing's second Nascent Soul.
The main body is undergoing a tribulation of inner demons, which seems to have no effect on it whatsoever.
This is natural, after all, it is essentially a demon infant transformed from the Nine Soul Agate, and it is not the same person as Fang Qing, so how could it be implicated by the inner demon tribulation?
What does Fang Qing's inner demon have to do with the Nine-Soul Demon Infant?
On the contrary, because Fang Qing's main body was caught up in the tribulation of inner demons and had no time to care about anything else, his second nascent soul was filled with distracting thoughts. If this were any other cultivator, his second nascent soul would definitely develop self-awareness and rebel.
However, under the "Jade Heart Demon Seed Technique," it diligently guarded the island.
"As expected of me, this second Nascent Soul method is truly profound... and extremely safe."
A vivid smile appeared on the face of the second Nascent Soul puppet, which then looked out of the island.
Splash!
The wind howled, and the sea surged with waves hundreds of meters high, revealing a colossal creature hidden on the seabed.
Its entire body is covered with a layer of yellowish-brown scales, yet it has a long tail that allows it to swim freely in the ocean like a fish.
suddenly!
It let out a roar that seemed to come from ancient times, and stood upright.
Endless seawater flowed down its body, revealing a ferocious, lizard-like head and two short front claws.
Boom!
A terrifying demonic aura, far surpassing that of a third-tier demon king, swept across the sky, causing nearby low-level demonic beasts to tremble with fear!
Its pair of cold, ruthless, earth-yellow vertical pupils stared at the Nascent Soul phenomenon that affected hundreds of miles. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth: "Nascent Soul formation celestial phenomenon? It actually formed its Nascent Soul at the edge of the deep sea. It seems to be just a rogue cultivator..."
A flash of light!
The colossal fourth-tier beast, resembling a giant yellowish-brown lizard, vanished, replaced by a figure dressed in a yellowish-brown robe.
It was not tall, and a layer of yellowish-brown scales could still be seen on its arms, cheeks, and neck. Its pupils were still vertical.
It was not tall, and a layer of yellowish-brown scales could still be seen on its arms, cheeks, and neck. Its pupils were still vertical.
After reaching the fourth rank, demonic beasts can transform into human form, but many fourth-rank demonic beasts retain some demonic characteristics as proof of their noble bloodline.
This fourth-tier earth-attribute demon beast was clearly the same.
"I've heard that the nascent souls of human cultivators are extremely delicious... If I could swallow one, perhaps I could break through my bottleneck and advance to the middle rank of the fourth level?"
The boy in the ochre robe revealed a ferocious smile and charged towards Jade Spring Island.
Stab it!
One after another, thunder spirits with human bodies and eagle wings appeared, roaring and striking out bolts of lightning that transformed into a huge lightning net, enveloping the yellow-robed youth.
"A near-fourth-tier formation? And a lightning-attribute one at that? This is troublesome..."
The young man in the yellow robe frowned slightly, then suddenly formed a hand seal, and a surge of powerful magic energy flowed around him, pouring into a stark white shield.
Most demonic beasts are not good at crafting weapons and making talismans. This shield also seems to have come from a fourth-order demonic beast. It was made from a single bone and polished to a smooth, mirror-like surface.
Stab it!
The fourth-order Yin lightning bolts struck it, but most of their power was deflected. Only wisps of electric arcs bounced on the yellow-robed youth, but they could no longer harm it in the slightest.
After all, fourth-order demonic beasts possess a natural fourth-order physique!
"Ha ha!"
With a casual wave of its hand, a beam of earthy yellow light appeared and slammed heavily into a pillar of lightning.
Rumble!
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the lightning pillar collapsed with a deafening roar.
"Hmph! If it were a true fourth-order formation, placed on a fourth-order spiritual vein, with elemental advantage, I would have retreated... This quasi-fourth-order lightning formation is all show and no substance!"
The young man in the yellow robe continued deeper into the area.
It believed this was the last trump card of the cultivator who was forming the Nascent Soul stage.
Otherwise, if one had one or two Nascent Soul friends, why would one risk condensing their Nascent Soul in this dangerous place near the deep sea?
"I might even be wanted by humans, but eating me won't cause any trouble; they'll actually thank me!"
The young man in the yellow robe stuck out his long, slender tongue and licked his serrated teeth...
when!
Just then, a bell rang.
The invisible sound waves, like sharp blades, struck the bone shield, causing it to creak under the strain.
Whoosh!
A figure in cyan appeared, concealed by lightning. Spiritual patterns flickered on its arm, transforming into a pillar of cyan light that slammed heavily into the yellow-robed youth.
Stab it!
The yellow-robed youth's clothes were torn, revealing a torso covered in scales. One after another, the yellowish-brown scales broke and fell off... and one could also see the bright red demon blood with a hint of dark yellow.
"Hmm? A Nascent Soul stage monster, ambushing us?"
The tan-skinned youth instantly sensed something was wrong and tried to withdraw from the formation.
Its physique is incredibly powerful; even if it takes a direct hit from a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will only suffer minor injuries, which will not affect its combat ability in the slightest.
"quick!"
"Activate the formation to trap it!"
On the ground, Qin Ruxue held the array flag and cast spells, while Xiang Dahu and Yu Xiang'er assisted her from the side.
Stab it!
One lightning net after another appeared, preventing the fourth-tier demon from escaping outside the formation.
"Tsk..."
The young man in the yellow robe had a dark look in his eyes. He knew that the formation had become much more complicated once someone was in charge.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem at all, but breaking through the formation while being restrained by a cultivator of the same level would obviously be impossible without paying a huge price.
"Fellow Daoist... I have mistakenly trespassed upon your esteemed place and will depart now... I would like to offer an apology; how about a near-fourth-tier demon core?"
The young man in the yellow robe looked at the cyan puppet and said in a low voice, "If I fight to the death, you will gain nothing either..."
It had already discerned that this Nascent Soul cultivator was in a subtle state, and that his aura was only at the early Nascent Soul stage.
In the cultivation world of the East Sea, fourth-order demonic beasts come with fourth-order body refinement, and often a low-grade fourth-order demonic beast is a step above a Nascent Soul early stage cultivator!
"A near-fourth-tier demon core isn't enough; it would be best to compensate with your essence pill."
The second nascent soul let out a long laugh, and the Devouring Sea Technique was activated wildly, producing a small cauldron of pure blue-green color in his hand.
"escape!"
For some reason, the moment the small cauldron appeared, the young man in the yellow robe had a sudden impulse, knowing that if he didn't escape, he would surely die.
"Ah...you forced me to do it."
It roared, a yellowish-brown pattern appeared on its forehead, and a giant lizard phantom stood up behind it, clearly about to unleash its innate divine power for a final gamble!
The second nascent soul rapidly formed hand seals, channeling streams of magical power into the 'Ten Thousand Waters Cauldron'.
Splash!
The boundless seawater emerged, transforming into a pillar of azure light, within which countless talismans swirled, shimmering with iridescent colors…
Boom!
Just then, the yellow-robed youth pounded his chest, snorted, and emitted two beams of misty yellow light from his nose that seemed capable of captivating the soul.
Wave!
The azure beam of light collided with the innate divine power of the fourth-tier great demon, and the two beams of yellow light instantly dissipated, leaving only a halo.
Then, the beam of light struck the young man in the yellow robe without mercy.
"what!"
Amidst screams, the yellow-robed youth revealed his true form, crashing headlong into the lightning array. His massive, charred claws tore through the lightning net...
"puff!"
On Jade Spring Island, Qin Ruxue and the other two suddenly changed their expressions, their chests stained with spots of crimson blood...
