Chapter 819: Overcome the tribulation and achieve the Nascent Soul!

Great Dream Immortal City.

Above the majestic pavilion of the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Quanzhen, clad in a profound black brocade robe, stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back, taking in the entire Immortal City at a glance.

As his father had previously said, suspicious individuals had gradually appeared in Great Dream Immortal City during these past few days.

Upon arriving in the Immortal City, these individuals immediately purchased intelligence information, inquiring about the Jiang Country and the Immortal City’s situation.

As for the probing his father mentioned, although it hadn’t appeared yet, Lu Quanzhen felt it wouldn’t be far off.

Just then, a communication Talisman suddenly flew out from his sleeve, landing between his two fingers.

This was a message from his younger brother, Lu Qingsong, who served as a steward in the Immortal City.

Recently, huge commotions had frequently come from the depths of Great Dream Marsh, suspected to be someone hunting a Demon King, or a battle between Demon Kings.

As the saying goes, those who live by the mountains eat from the mountains, and those who live by the water eat from the water.

The Great Dream Marsh is vast and boundless, so it naturally doesn’t prohibit Cultivators from going out to sea to fish and hunt Yao Beasts.

However, hunting a Tier 3 Demon King is a completely different matter.

Firstly, failing to hunt a Tier 3 Demon King could attract the Demon King’s attack and retaliation.

Secondly, every Tier 3 Demon King is extremely valuable, with treasures all over its body.

The City Lord’s Mansion itself doesn’t even have enough, so how could it allow others to hunt freely?

Therefore, whenever a huge commotion comes from the depths of Great Dream Marsh, the City Lord’s Mansion sends people to investigate the situation.

This is to prevent Demon Kings from attacking the islands, or a beast tide from coming.

“Hunting Yao Beasts.”

Lu Quanzhen immediately suspected that this was done by Cultivators who had crossed over from the Star Constellation Sea.

After all, affected by the Liang-Yue War, there weren’t many Core Formation Cultivators within the Jiang Country, so who would come to Great Dream Marsh to hunt?

Moreover, the depths of Great Dream Marsh are filled with gray mist, affecting Cultivators’ magical power and Divine Sense, making it far less convenient and safe than the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

But Cultivators from the Star Constellation Sea are different.

Those capable of crossing the boundless sea must at least have Middle Stage Core Formation cultivation, making them outstanding among their peers.

Furthermore, most Cultivators from the Star Constellation Sea are proficient in water-based techniques, and are less affected and suppressed in this vast sea.

In addition, Lu Quanzhen had been pondering how the Cultivators from the Star Constellation Sea would probe Great Dream Immortal City.

For example, the simplest and most direct method would be to provoke a Demon King and stir up a beast tide!

Half a month later, Lu Quanzhen received another message from Lu Qingsong.

A team of Immortal City enforcers who went to investigate the situation in the depths of Great Dream Marsh had their Soul Jade shattered.

“Has it finally begun?”

Lu Quanzhen looked at the vast and boundless Great Dream Marsh, his eyes deep, his pupils like black holes, with a black great fish and a golden great Peng intertwined.

When such a thing occurs, the City Lord’s Mansion certainly cannot stand by and do nothing.

However, the Immortal City’s high-level combat power is limited.

Unless he asks his aunt from Lu to take action, he will have to go himself.

“Since that’s the case, it’s time to verify my current strength.”

Lu Quanzhen’s refined and elegant face was incredibly calm, like a bottomless deep pool.

Lu Quanzhen wasn’t too worried about whether he would encounter danger if he left the Immortal City.

Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord personally entered the fray, he had absolute confidence.

And based on his father’s previous words, he guessed that the Nascent Soul True Lord from the Star Constellation Sea would not easily make a move before thoroughly understanding the Immortal City’s situation.

If there truly was a Nascent Soul True Lord who wanted to cause trouble, why bother with such probing?

Although nothing is absolute.

But what is absolutely safe?

Now that his father was absent, if he allowed others to probe the Immortal City’s situation and expose its weakness, the situation would become even more passive.

“It’s just that I still have too few Divine Ability methods.”

Lu Quanzhen murmured softly, knowing that the only thing he needed to pay attention to was his Kun Peng and Kunpeng Divine Ability.

The Kunpeng Magic Skill had circulated in the Star Constellation Sea in early years.

And the matter of the kunpeng egg was closely watched by many forces.

If he used such Divine Ability techniques, it would easily attract the attention of Star Constellation Sea Cultivators and Nascent Soul True Lords.

Therefore, when taking action, he should avoid using Kunpeng Divine Ability as much as possible!

Jiang Country, Bihu Mountain.

These past few days, Bihu Mountain has been extraordinarily lively, filled with an atmosphere of joy.

First, Immortal Master Qingxuan’s Core Formation celebration was held, with guests from all sides coming to congratulate him.

Not long after Immortal Master Qingxuan’s Core Formation ceremony ended, another Core Formation phenomenon appeared in Bihu Mountain.

This development not only shocked Qingyun Sect and the surrounding Family forces but also the Lu Family disciples.

“Is this Sister Wangshu attempting to break through to Core Formation?”

“It must be, besides Sister Wangshu, who else could be attempting to break through to Core Formation?”

“Hiss, if Wangshu successfully breaks through to Core Formation again, won’t the Spiritual Vein of Bihu Mountain be insufficient for cultivation?”

Seeing this Core Formation phenomenon, almost all Lu Family disciples, except for Lu Ping’an, Lu Xingchen, and others, assumed that Lu Wangshu was attempting to break through to Core Formation.

After all, the person most qualified to form a Core in Bihu Mountain was her, the Talisman Fairy of the Lu Family.

“What? Another person from the Lu Family is attempting to break through to Core Formation?”

“The daughter of Chang Sheng Zhenren and Xiao Xiyue, Wangshu Immortal, obtained a Ningjing Pill in Great Dream Immortal City, so it’s highly likely she’s attempting to break through to Core Formation.”

“Are the Lu Family’s Core Formation Cultivators as common as cabbages? How can they appear one after another?”

“Yes, it’s not like having a Ningjing Pill guarantees successful Core Formation, so why hasn’t the Lu Family failed?”

“As the beloved daughter of Chang Sheng Zhenren and Xiao Xiyue, this Wangshu Immortal is likely to break through to Core Formation. Once she breaks through, the Lu Family might not be weaker than Qingyun Sect.”

“Why doesn’t this Talisman Fairy go to Qingyun Sect to form her Core? Given Xiao Xiyue’s relationship, borrowing Qingyun Sect’s Spiritual Vein shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Cultivators from other Family forces also discussed this news animatedly, all believing that this Core Formation phenomenon came from Lu Wangshu.

As for Wang Yanjing.

Her presence to the outside world wasn’t particularly high.

Although she was once a Core Formation seed of the Five Elements Wang Family, possessing Basement Establishment Ninth Level cultivation, meeting the requirements for Core Formation.

But the Five Elements Wang Family is gone, who would remember the Core Formation seed of the Five Elements Wang Family?

Moreover, there are many Core Formation seeds.

Even a False Core Family like the Jinlong Ridge Jin Family would cultivate several Core Formation seeds, but in a thousand years, how many could attempt Core Formation? How many could break through to Core Formation?

So no one guessed it was Wang Yanjing.

After all, in top forces like Qingyun Sect, Yu Ling Sect, and Luoxia Sect, Core Formation resources are extremely precious and not easily bestowed.

Even less so for an adopted daughter-in-law.

Especially since most Family forces prefer to cultivate male Cultivators.

Yue Country, Jin Yang Sect.

“What, Immortal Master Burning Demise of the Shura Sect has broken through to Nascent Soul? Beast God Mountain is suspected to have a new Fourth-Order Beast King, or a Cultivator has broken through to Nascent Soul?”

Lu Qingshan was stunned and bewildered when he heard Jin Yang Sect Leader’s words.

He hadn’t expected that after cultivating in seclusion for several years, the world seemed to have changed when he emerged.

This war was already extremely tense, and with Yuan Country’s involvement, Yue Country was struggling.

Now that Liang Country’s combat power has greatly increased, unless Sword Saint Monarch of Jiang Country is called to the front line again to restrain one person, how can they resist Liang Country’s large army?

However, as a high-ranking member of the Jin Yang Sect, Lu Qingshan knew that Jin Country’s Yinming Ghost Sect and Beast God Mountain were closely related.

Therefore, no matter what, Jiang Country could not send both of its Nascent Soul True Lords to assist Yue Country.

As long as they dared to do so, Nether Fiend True Lord would immediately kill his way into Jiang Country.

“Hmm, according to our speculation, this Burning Demise True Lord should have forcibly broken through using some method. Once Caiyun Zhenjun of Qingyun Sect from Jiang Country comes to assist, the difficulty can be resolved.”

“Moreover, Immortal Master Yuan Qi of the Mixed Origin Sect is currently attempting to break through to Nascent Soul. If he can successfully break through, it will alleviate the pressure on Beast God Mountain.”

Jin Yang Sect Leader spoke calmly to Lu Qingshan, but his eyes couldn’t help but show worry.

Something was too wrong.

Long ago, the five great immortal sects of Yue Country had realized that this war was somewhat amiss.

But as time went on, this strangeness became increasingly apparent.

Especially the situation with the Shura Sect and Beast God Mountain this time.

It was barely plausible for Immortal Master Burning Demise to break through to Nascent Soul by using the blood Qi of war, the Qi of tribulation, and the Shura Sect’s foundation.

However, Beast God Mountain should not have much foundation left after the several Fourth-Order Beast Gods in earlier years.

How could it cultivate a new Fourth-Order Beast King or have a Nascent Soul breakthrough at this time?

Jin Yang Sect Leader couldn’t help but think of the rumors of the Great Tribulation descending.

Great Tribulations have always been accompanied by Great Eras.

One Nascent Soul breakthrough after another.

Even Qingyun Sect in Jiang Country had a Nascent Soul True Lord appear, completely like the Great Era in the rumors.

After all, according to the ethereal theory of Luck, when such a Great Tribulation and Great Era descend, not only will more Opportunities appear in Heaven And Earth, but Cultivators will also find it a bit easier to break through.

But facing such a Great Tribulation and Great Era, his Jin Yang Sect didn’t have a single Nascent Soul True Lord, not even the qualification to be at the table, so how could he not be worried?

Moreover, once peace is completely broken, it is feared that the Mixed Origin Sect and Violet Radiance Sect will be unwilling to continue maintaining the pattern of the five great immortal sects.

“Alas.”

Thinking of this, Jin Yang Sect Leader couldn’t help but sigh, looking at Lu Qingshan in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel some regret.

The other party was undoubtedly astonishingly talented.

But his growth was still too slow, having only broken through to Core Formation Fourth Level now.

If he had been born a hundred years earlier, he might have been able to break through to Nascent Soul with this opportunity.

“Sect Leader, the boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge.”

Lu Qingshan saw Jin Yang Sect Leader’s worry and said with a light chuckle, “Moreover, isn’t the current situation exactly what the early rumors of the Great Tribulation foretold?”

“Whenever a Great Tribulation descends, it will inevitably be accompanied by a brilliant Great Era. At that time, the Southern Wilderness will be filled with shining stars, and I, Lu Qingshan, will surely have a place among them!”

Lu Qingshan’s eyes were like stars as he looked outside the Jin Yang Sect, his expression arrogant, full of absolute confidence in himself.

He was able to go from newly entering Core Formation to breaking through to Middle Stage Core Formation in just over thirty years, undoubtedly benefiting from the Liang-Yue War.

If not for this war, where he killed enemy Cultivators and earned numerous military merits, how would he have the resources to repay the Sect’s Magic Treasure Flying Sword, cultivate various Divine Ability techniques, and refine an Acquired Spirit Body?

During peacetime, there was simply no such Opportunity.

The major immortal sects would not open up too many rare resources and Heaven And Earth Treasure to the outside world.

So he didn’t mind this war continuing.

War, chaos, was the fastest ladder for him to ascend to Nascent Soul!

Only by leveraging war and chaos could he grow rapidly.

As for whether he would die in this war, or perish prematurely, he had not considered it, having absolute confidence in himself.

The road ahead was thorny and rugged, but he, Lu Qingshan, would break through it with a single sword, surely overcoming all obstacles!

Jin Yang Sect Leader looked at Lu Qingshan, who had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, filled with sharp arrogance, and his expression was slightly stunned, deeply realizing that he had grown old.

There was a time when he, too, was like the other party, full of genius and arrogance, vibrant and energetic.

Liang-Yue War, a certain frontline stronghold.

“Young City Lord, are you alright?”

A Core Formation cultivator supported a young man wearing a golden mask and asked with concern.

Lu Lingxiao circulated his Cultivation Technique, spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, and then softly said, “I’m fine.”

“You tally the casualties and then send a message to Heaven Sword Sect.”

“The Shura Sect’s Luo True Person and a Seven Kill Sect’s Core Formation assassin suddenly appearing here must mean that something has changed elsewhere.”

As he spoke, Lu Lingxiao took a Medicinal Pill to stabilize his injuries.

As the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, a Core Formation True Person, he led several Cultivators from Great Dream Immortal City and abundant resources to the Yue Country front line for support, garrisoning an important town.

In the past, the situation had been relatively stable.

But today, during the battle, two Core Formation Cultivators suddenly appeared.

If he hadn’t integrated with the great formation, and used the Talisman given by his father to forcefully repel the enemy, today’s battle would have been a great defeat, and the stronghold would have fallen.

“Yes, Young City Lord.”

This Core Formation cultivator nodded in response, then whispered to Lu Lingxiao, “Young City Lord, this war is clearly not right. Should we send a message to the City Lord?”

He belonged to the Great Dream Immortal City’s offering, knowing that there was no hope for breakthrough, he served as an offering in Great Dream Immortal City, preparing to retire.

After being promised a generous reward, he came to the front line of the war with Lu Lingxiao.

But several years passed, and even a fool could see that this war was not right.

Under such circumstances, he really did not want to continue garrisoning.

He hoped that Lu Lingxiao would take this opportunity to send a message to the Great Dream City Lord, moving from the front line to the rear to oversee.

After all, the Great Dream City Lord had once killed a Fourth-Order Demon King Void Kun and easily suppressed a Core Formation True Immortal at the Whale Hunting Banquet.

This level of combat power likely indicated a Nascent Soul True Lord.

As long as he spoke, even Heaven Sword Sect would give him some Face.

Moreover, they had been stationed on the front line for many years, and it wasn’t as if they had no merit.

“I will send a message to father about this, but for the time being, I will still have to trouble Luo offering.”

Lu Lingxiao naturally knew that the other party was unwilling to continue risking their lives for such a war, only wishing to enjoy their later years, and spoke to appease him.

He promised that after returning, he would choose a good island in Great Dream Marsh and become the island’s master.

Facing lower-level Cultivators, one could still use rhetoric to deceive them.

But at the Core Formation level, one could only promise benefits, using both kindness and authority!

Deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Above the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair, an endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, like a boundless ocean, a Kunpeng swallowed the heavens and earth, forming a Spiritual Qi vortex spanning a thousand miles.

Not far away, a Golden Peng Bird, entirely golden and resplendent, with wings like clouds hanging from the sky, was coiled, exuding the terrifying Aura of a Fourth-Order Beast King.

A pair of sharp eyes, like golden scorching suns, overlooked the surroundings.

Although the Tier 3 Demon King in the surrounding area had already been hunted clean by it.

However, such a vast Nascent Soul movement could easily attract the attention of other Beast Kings.

So, during this process, it not only exerted deterrence but also used its own Evil Qi to conceal Lu Changsheng’s Aura as he impacted the Nascent Soul Realm.

Outside the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair, Honglian and Ling Zixiao looked at the astonishing Nascent Soul phenomenon ahead, feeling the constantly shaking Spiritual Vein, their expressions solemn.

They had truly not expected Lu Changsheng’s impact on the Nascent Soul to be so astonishing.

Not only did the Nascent Soul phenomenon extend for thousands of miles.

Not long after he began impacting the Nascent Soul, this Spiritual Vein began to tremble violently.

Now, it was like an earthquake, affecting the great formation they had set up, making it difficult to maintain stability.

However, they knew that the greater the commotion, the more astonishing Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul would be!

“Great Dao Golden Core.”

Honglian thought of Lu Changsheng asking her in his early years if there was a Great Dao Golden Core above the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

She said she had never heard of it.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul was already a Realm that ordinary people could hardly reach.

Only a very small number of Prodigies could achieve it.

To take another step forward on the basis of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul was simply unimaginable.

But after Lu Changsheng raised this question, she subconsciously felt anticipation.

She believed that if there truly was a Great Dao Golden Core, then only someone like Lu Changsheng, a True Immortal Reincarnation, could possibly achieve it.

Within the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair, Yin-Yang Two Qi permeated and intertwined, converging into a Yin Yang Diagram tens of feet in size.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged in the center of the diagram, like an Immortal King and a Divine Being, with a solemn and majestic demeanor.

Lu Changsheng was completely unaware of the commotion he was causing, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Phenomenon, as he was entirely immersed in the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

After being irrigated by endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and refined by the Qi of the Spiritual Vein, his infant Nascent Soul had already been conceived within his Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core.

Now, he was slowly nurturing it, cultivating this infant Nascent Soul to grow stronger, and then shattering the Core to form the Nascent Soul.

Under the nourishment of Cultivating Infant Flower, Taiyin Essence, Taiyin Moon Essence, Taiyi Dao Seed, Hua Ying Pill, Yin-Yang Yuan Pill, and Sun Moon Reincarnation Art, his infant Nascent Soul continuously grew stronger, ready to shatter the Core and emerge at any time.

But Lu Changsheng still, as before, aimed for the limit.

He used the continuously surging Qi of the Spiritual Vein to refine his Golden Core and irrigate his Nascent Soul Spirit Body!

He directly didn’t use spiritual objects like nine heavens clear spirit qi, Spiritual Void Amber, and lei ji fusang wood, which were not very compatible with him, to avoid affecting the purity of his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Time quietly slipped away, and it was unknown how long had passed.

Within Lu Changsheng’s Qi Sea Dantian, above the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation, covered by Yin and Yang Dao rhythm, a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, which emitted a purple-gold luster.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng’s entire body’s magic power surged, forming a vast and heavy Aura that spread wildly in all directions.

Not far away, Yun Wanchang instantly opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Lu Changsheng, and her expression was surprised.

He hadn’t even shattered his Core and formed his Nascent Soul yet, but his magic power Aura was already comparable to a Nascent Soul, possessing a Nascent Soul Aura?

However, feeling the violently shaking Spiritual Vein and seeing the powerful Spiritual Pressure forming around him, she was relieved by his words about the “Great Dao Golden Core.”

She knew that Lu Changsheng could not be measured by common sense.

“My husband is about to shatter his Core and form his Nascent Soul!”

Honglian outside the lair also felt this magic power fluctuation.

She knew that once the Core shattered and the Nascent Soul formed, the Golden Winged Roc would be unable to conceal Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Aura, and a Fourth-Order Beast King might attack.

The step of shattering the Core to form the Nascent Soul was very dangerous.

Once taken, the Golden Core would shatter, and the Divine Soul would fuse with the infant Spirit Body, with no turning back.

Giving up the breakthrough now, there was still a sliver of hope to preserve one’s life.

Some Core Formation cultivators, when shattering their Core to form their Nascent Soul, realized that their Nascent Soul Spirit Body was insufficient to shatter the Core or pass the Heavenly Tribulation, and thus chose to give up and stabilize their Golden Core.

But for Lu Changsheng, none of these were problems.

He even firmly suppressed the shattering of his Golden Core, continuing to use the Qi of the Spiritual Vein to refine his Golden Core and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Although his Physical Body could withstand such vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Vein Qi refinement, his Golden Core had already reached its limit, unable to advance further!

Another subtle crack appeared on his Golden Core, forming a terrifying magic power Aura fluctuation.

Immediately after, the third, fourth, fifth, until the ninth crack, Lu Changsheng finally could no longer suppress it, nor did he forcefully suppress it any longer.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound, like a Great Dao Profound Sound, came from his Qi Sea Dantian, as if expounding the profound principles of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Great Dao.

This sound was very soft, yet it clearly reached the ears of Yun Wanchang, Honglian, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and Qian Zhuyan.

They all looked at the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair with solemn expressions, paying attention to Lu Changsheng’s situation.

Lu Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the Yin Yang Diagram, suddenly changed his expression slightly, subconsciously covered his Dantian with both hands, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

When the Golden Core shatters and the Nascent Soul emerges, this process will create a terrifying surge of magic power.

If not controlled properly, it could cause severe damage to oneself.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core began to disintegrate and shatter, creating a terrifying fluctuation, like a Nascent Soul True Lord erupting with an extremely violent destructive Aura in his Qi Sea Dantian.

One can only say that sometimes, it’s not just about accumulating foundation, but also about considering whether one can bear it.

“Brahma Demon True Body!”

Lu Changsheng felt the aftermath of the Golden Core shattering destroying his body, and immediately circulated the Vatican Devil True Saint Art and the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

In an instant, the Buddha light and Demonic Qi intertwined throughout his body, working with the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone on his chest to jointly calm and suppress this destructive force.

At the same time, within his Sea of Consciousness, the Taiyi Divine Soul suddenly sank, fusing with the Nascent Soul that, after the Golden Core shattered, seemed to expound the Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Great Dao.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng only felt the world spinning, as if experiencing the evolution of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang into Chaos Manifestation.

Yin and Yang combine to create all things; all things bear Yin and embrace Yang, and their Qi harmonizes.

“Buzz!”

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body suddenly opened its eyes, black and white Yin and Yang fish coiled around its body, and Yin and Yang Dao flowers bloomed.

Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled, sucking all the crystalline flowing light, Dao rhythm, and Dao principles formed after the shattering of the Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core into its belly.

It could be seen that Yin-Yang Two Qi surged around the infant’s body, and its form continuously solidified.

Gradually, it transformed into a three-inch tall Nascent Soul with the exact same face as Lu Changsheng.

The moment the Nascent Soul formed, the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence trembled.

A phantom figure, surrounded by Yin-Yang Two Qi, resembling an Immortal King or a Divine Being, appeared.

Behind him, it seemed as if all things in heaven and earth were evolving, a Chaos Manifestation, and a three-headed, six-armed Buddha-Demon phantom stood tall!

The surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi vortex momentarily solidified at this instant.

Immediately after, an unparalleled Nascent Soul-level Spiritual Pressure suddenly erupted, pervading all directions of heaven and earth.

“Nascent Soul formed!”

Yun Wanchang was the first to sense the Aura of this newly formed Nascent Soul.

She knew that Lu Changsheng had completed the first major hurdle of the Nascent Soul — Core shattering and Nascent Soul formation!

Next, he would have to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation!

She had no worries about the Lightning Tribulation at all.

After all, with Lu Changsheng’s Fourth-Order Body Refining and multiple Spirit Treasures, the Lightning Tribulation was simply not an issue.

The difficult part was the Heart Demon Tribulation.

It wasn’t that she thought Lu Changsheng’s Dao Heart was poor.

Rather, many times, the more bonds one had, the more entanglements, the more troublesome the Heart Demon became.

He has shattered his Core and formed a Nascent Soul.

The Red Lotus outside the nest also sensed this nascent Nascent Soul Aura.

Generally speaking, a newly formed Nascent Soul Spirit Body is extremely weak and fragile.

It is precisely because of this that the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is so difficult and dangerous!

But through the Nascent Soul Aura, she sensed that Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body, even without the baptism of Heaven and Earth rules, was already comparable to some breakthroughs of Earth Dao Nascent Souls.

This is astonishing.

One must know that Lu Changsheng had not yet undergone the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation; his current Nascent Soul Spirit Body could only be considered a False Core or a half-step Nascent Soul.

Yet, this half-step Nascent Soul was already comparable to some Earth Dao Nascent Souls, which was simply inconceivable.

Even if Lu Changsheng underwent the Heavenly Tribulation and only achieved an Earth Dao or Low Grade Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it would likely be enough to rival many veteran Cultivators at the third level of Nascent Soul.

Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge felt this Nascent Soul Aura, their expressions joyful.

But seeing the gray tribulation clouds beginning to gather in the sky, they couldn’t help but worry.

After all, this was a breakthrough to Nascent Soul!

The two major tribulations of breaking through to Nascent Soul, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation, were infamous to any Cultivator!

Since ancient times, countless individuals attempting to break through to Nascent Soul had perished at this step.

Especially the Heart Demon Tribulation, where many Prodigies had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, their bodies destroyed and Dao extinguished.

“Nascent Soul…”

Qian Zhuyan in the distance looked at the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s nest, the flames of her Soul burning faintly in her eye sockets.

Although she had never attempted to break through to Nascent Soul, she knew the dangers involved.

However, she had full confidence in Lu Changsheng!

She firmly believed that the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation would absolutely not stop Lu Changsheng.

At the same time, the deep-seated blood feud in the depths of her mind surged like a tide.

Lu Changsheng had promised her that once he broke through to Nascent Soul, he would help her exact revenge!

“Be careful.”

At this moment, the Red Lotus looked at Ling Zixiao and Qian Zhuyan, reminding them that with the Core shattered and the Nascent Soul formed, this nascent Nascent Soul Aura might attract Fourth-Order Beast King.

These Fourth-Order Beast King, upon seeing such a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation, would certainly find it difficult to suppress their hatred, greed, and desire!

At this time, Yun Wanchang also walked out of the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s nest to prevent her own magical power Aura from affecting Lu Changsheng’s Heavenly Tribulation.

After coming out, seeing the three women, Red Lotus, Lu Miaoge, and Ling Zixiao, she couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, the three women did not pay much attention to her.

“Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!”

Lu Changsheng looked up at the sky, seeing the gray tribulation clouds crackling and brewing, lightning surging, as if countless lightning snakes were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Invisibly, a mysterious tribulation force locked onto him, making it impossible for him to escape no matter what he did.

Lu Changsheng didn’t look further; he immediately closed his eyes and single-mindedly circulated his Cultivation Technique.

After his Core shattered and Nascent Soul emerged, his Core Formation magical power could be transformed and refined into Nascent Soul-level magical power through the Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Although time was limited and a complete transformation was impossible.

Even if only one-tenth was transformed, it would be a huge improvement.

After all, Core Formation magical power compared to Nascent Soul magical power was like a wooden stick compared to a steel knife.

There was a qualitative difference between the two!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”

Under the power of the Nascent Soul, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the Earth Vein Qi from all directions roared towards Lu Changsheng even more violently, being refined by him to form Nascent Soul magical power.

As time passed, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky continued to brew, and the sky-filling dark clouds constantly intertwined with terrifying Heavenly Might and destructive power.

“This Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, how could it be…”

Yun Wanchang felt the tribulation clouds filled with an ominous Aura, sensing that something was wrong.

How could Lu Changsheng’s Heavenly Tribulation be a level higher than her own?

Although there would be some differences in a Cultivator’s Heavenly Tribulation, this difference would not be too great.

Even if Lu Changsheng’s Golden Core was one level higher than her Immortal Golden Core, the Heavenly Tribulation’s power would at most be two or three tenths higher, right?

It wasn’t just Yun Wanchang.

Red Lotus also noticed that something was amiss.

Lu Changsheng’s Heavenly Tribulation completely surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators by too much.

“Is this affected by my husband’s Fourth-Order Body Refining?”

Red Lotus pondered, suspecting that in addition to Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core and special Physique, it was also related to his Fourth-Order Body Refining.

After all, apart from genuine ancient Body Cultivator, it was almost unheard of for someone to achieve Fourth-Order Body Refining before condensing a Nascent Soul.

If one possessed such Body Refining talent, why would they still pursue the path of Qi Refining.

Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge had never witnessed a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

At this moment, they only felt that this kind of Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Might was indeed terrifying, no wonder so few people had been able to break through to Nascent Soul since ancient times.

For Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, one could still see many Cultivators taking a gamble for a slim chance of survival.

But upon reaching Nascent Soul, it was almost never seen.

It could only be said that in the Face of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, there was no such thing as luck!

Anyone who could break through to Nascent Soul, even if it was just a Human Dao Nascent Soul, was still a Dragon among men!

“Caw!!!”

Just then, the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror in Red Lotus’s arms suddenly trembled slightly.

The Golden Winged Roc in the distance also let out a long cry towards the sky, its Demon King Evil Qi soaring and spreading.

Demon King!

Fourth-Order Demon King attacking!

In the distant sky, a thick layer of clouds, like Rolling thunder, swept towards them, creating a terrifying muffled thunderous sound.

Thunder Peng!

Through the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, Red Lotus recognized this as a Three-Eyed Thunder Peng.

Its eagle head had purple lightning whiskers like dragon whiskers, its body was covered with mysterious ancient lightning patterns, and every feather seemed to be condensed from thunderclouds, with purple-green lightning arcs surging, covering the sky and exuding a frightening Aura.

“This is this King’s territory!”

The Golden Winged Roc flew towards the Thunder Peng, intending to stop it from approaching.

“Golden Peng, why do you shelter a Human Race Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation?!”

The Thunder Peng shrieked, its voice like Rolling muffled thunder, questioning the Golden Winged Roc.

“This is this King’s Human Pet!”

The Golden Winged Roc immediately said with a sonorous and proud voice, its golden feathers radiating brilliant luster, and its eyes fierce and intimidating.

This explanation was suggested by Red Lotus, who felt it could save some trouble.

After all, most Demon King harbored hostility towards Cultivators.

Especially towards Beast-controlling Cultivators, they were extremely hostile, believing it to be an insult to their Yao Race.

But if it was called a Human Pet, it could be considered the Demon King’s property, unless the other party wanted to forcibly seize it.

Lu Changsheng was indifferent to this.

After all, who was the master and who was the pet, they knew in their hearts.

“Human Pet? Human Race Cultivators are cunning, don’t be deceived by him!”

The Thunder Peng looked at the fragrant Nascent Soul Aura emanating from the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s nest, its lightning-arc-intertwined eyes filled with desire.

This Nascent Soul fragrance was incredibly tempting to Fourth-Order Demon King like them.

“Golden Peng, give me this Human Race Cultivator, and this King can help you with something.”

The Thunder Peng looked at the Golden Winged Roc and said this, wanting to make a deal.

After all, it could tell that the Golden Winged Roc in front of it was very unusual and it didn’t want to completely offend it.

“Scram!” The Golden Winged Roc’s voice was cold, and its entire body surged with sharp Aura, as if the surrounding air was being torn apart with crackling sounds.

In the Yao Beast World, it was inherently a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and strength spoke loudest.

If it spoke too much nonsense, it would only make it seem as if it was feeling guilty and afraid!

The Thunder Peng’s body surged with lightning arcs, and a lightning storm formed between its wings, unwilling to retreat just like that.

But just then, Qian Zhuyan soared into the sky, and around her, numerous Tier 3 Puppets trembled violently, their puppet power linked with her, forming a Puppet Battle Array with terrifying Spiritual Pressure and might.

Looking at the Golden Winged Roc and Qian Zhuyan before it, the Thunder Peng’s pupils slightly contracted, and after a brief consideration, it chose to abandon the fragrant prey and turned to leave.

Red Lotus breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.

Now that Lu Changsheng was about to Undergo Tribulation, it was naturally best to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Otherwise, even if they could kill a Fourth-Order Demon King by combining their efforts, it would cause a huge commotion, affect Lu Changsheng, and even attract other Demon King.

Under everyone’s tense nerves and anxious gazes, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky surged and rolled.

Streaks of purple-green Heavenly Lightning, like roaring flood dragons, bared their fangs and brandished their claws, emanating terrifying Heavenly Might.

“Boom!”

Lightning flashed brightly, and thunder rumbled.

Nine purple-green lightning tribulations, like flood dragons, tore through the Heaven and Earth, roaring towards Lu Changsheng in the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s nest, as if to destroy the world.

“This lightning tribulation…”

Earlier, Yun Wanchang and Red Lotus had already noticed that the power of Lu Changsheng’s Heavenly Tribulation was one level higher than that of other Nascent Soul Cultivators.

At this moment, Yun Wanchang could directly feel that Lu Changsheng’s first lightning tribulation was already comparable to her own fourth lightning tribulation!

One must know that facing the third Heavenly Tribulation, she had no choice but to put on the Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor.

And Lu Changsheng’s first Heavenly Tribulation was already comparable to her fourth, so how terrifying would the subsequent Heavenly Tribulations be!?

For a moment, Yun Wanchang felt uneasy and nervous.

Seeing the Heavenly Tribulation descend, Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate in the slightest; Yin-Yang Two Qi flowed around his body, and golden Sanskrit patterns and dark demonic patterns intertwined and flowed across his skin, directly meeting it.

At the same time, his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, wrapped in his Lifebound Treasure, the Yin Yang Diagram, flew out from the top of his head, circling nearby, intending to endure the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation together.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation was dangerous.

Challenging the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul was even more perilous; a slight mistake could lead to death and the annihilation of one’s Dao!

But if his Nascent Soul Spirit Body couldn’t even withstand the first Heavenly Tribulation, then no one in the world would be able to challenge the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!

After all, his Nascent Soul not only had the Fourth-Order Body Refining to endure the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, and was nurtured by the Great Dao Golden Core.

It also fused with a Nascent Soul-level Taiyi Divine Soul!

Moreover, he was not unprepared.

His Lifebound Treasure, the Yin Yang Diagram, protected his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

“Rumble!!!”

In an instant, lightning exploded, and nine dragon-like lightning bolts fiercely struck Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

He did not offer any resistance, allowing the Lightning Tribulation to impact and baptize his body and Nascent Soul magical power.

His mind, however, was focused on his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, intending to absorb the Qi of the Heavenly Dao!

Lightning arcs crackled, merely scorching and shattering his robes, but failing to cause any damage to his Physical Body.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body, enveloped by the Yin Yang Diagram, opened and inhaled, directly absorbing the Rolling Lightning Tribulation.

The Qi of the Heavenly Dao was within this Heavenly Tribulation.

However, to extract this Qi of the Heavenly Dao, one needed to endure the might of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body was incredibly astonishing, far from being as weak as other Nascent Soul Cultivators; it was like a bottomless pit, allowing the Lightning Tribulation to strike and extract the Qi of the Heavenly Dao within it.

After all, the Qi of the Heavenly Dao was not something that could be obtained with just a single wisp.

Instead, it’s like connecting with the Qi of the Earth Veins to refine the Spirit Body—the more, the better!

“This…”

Yun Wanchang looked at Lu Changsheng’s astonishing actions, her expression dazed.

She felt that if Lu Changsheng’s feat of undergoing tribulation with both his Physical Body and Nascent Soul, without using any Magic Treasure, were to spread, it would be utterly shocking and astound the entire Cultivation World.

“I wonder how many Heavenly Tribulation purifications my husband’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body can withstand.”

Hong Lian’s expression was calm as she looked at the scene before her, knowing that Lu Changsheng would surely be fine.

She was just watching to see how many layers of Heavenly Tribulation he could pass without using Magic Treasures or any treasures for dissolution.

Especially, how many waves of Heavenly Tribulation his Nascent Soul Spirit Body could withstand.

If it could withstand nine Heavenly Tribulations and absorb Heavenly Dao Qi from them, it might truly lead to the “Great Dao Nascent Soul” he spoke of.

However, in her opinion, no matter how strong the Nascent Soul Spirit Body was, it couldn’t possibly withstand nine Lightning Tribulations; five or six were already the limit.

Any more than that would inevitably damage the Nascent Soul Spirit Body, thereby affecting the subsequent Heart Demon tribulation.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul in legends mostly relied on dissolving secret treasures to withstand two or three Heavenly Tribulations; five or six were already extremely exaggerated.

“The power and benefits of Heavenly Tribulation are indeed proportional.”

Under the purification of the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that his Physical Body, Nascent Soul, and Magic Power were all rapidly improving.

And his Nascent Soul Spirit Body was also rapidly growing and constantly condensing under the Heavenly Dao Qi, like a deity, flowing with dreamlike brilliance, an effect far superior to the previous Earth Vein Qi!

The second Heavenly Tribulation struck down with terrifying momentum, as if it would engulf Heaven and Earth, causing Yun Wanchang and others, who were watching from afar, to feel their hearts pound.

However, Lu Changsheng was still like before, with both his Physical Body and Nascent Soul undergoing purification, bathing in the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

The power of the second Heavenly Tribulation was much stronger than the first, and many charred marks appeared on his body surface.

But under the terrifying self-healing ability of his Chaos Body, it healed visibly to the naked eye, flowing with a crystal-clear luster, astonishingly so.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body next to him was not so relaxed, somewhat painfully devouring the Lightning Tribulation and absorbing the Heavenly Dao Qi!

“Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it’s indeed not that simple.”

After the second Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, Lu Changsheng lightly patted his storage ring, and the Spirit Treasure [Five Elements Mountain] appeared, landing beside the Nascent Soul Spirit Body to help dissolve the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s actions, Yun Wanchang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that he understood the gravity of the situation and wouldn’t act recklessly.

But then again, it made sense.

Lu Changsheng usually acted much more steadily than herself, so how could he be reckless during his Undergoing Tribulation!?

The third Lightning Tribulation fell, like a surging tide, scorching and dazzling, engulfing Lu Changsheng. His body was blasted to pieces, charred black.

Even with the [Yin Yang Diagram] and [Five Elements Mountain] helping to dissolve the Lightning Tribulation, the Nascent Soul Spirit Body was still extremely weak from absorbing the Heavenly Dao Qi.

“Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Divine Light!”

Lu Changsheng grimaced in pain, his face twisted in agony, as he unleashed his Divine Ability, forming a Yin-Yang Profound Mystery armor that settled upon his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

His Physical Body, meanwhile, fully circulated the “Vatican Devil True Saint Art,” continuing to endure the Heavenly Tribulation’s bombardment and purification.

After all, such a Heavenly Tribulation was a rare Opportunity in the world.

Thinking of his top-tier Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul and Great Dao Golden Core, Old Ancestor Lu gritted his teeth and endured.

Moreover, his wives were watching from the side; how could he back down!?

However, the price was a charred, lacerated, bleeding body, a sight too gruesome to behold, making Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao, who were watching from afar, incredibly anxious.

Lu Changsheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, lightly tapped his storage ring, and several Medicinal Pills appeared, which he immediately consumed.

Immediately after, another bone talisman appeared.

This bone talisman was like a rising sun, forming a vast and boundless Origin of life that rapidly restored his Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Since Lu Changsheng dared to be so bold and let the Heavenly Tribulation strike him, he naturally had many preparations.

How could he let the Heavenly Tribulation blast him into such a miserable and disheveled state!

Changes occur every three.

The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, like a Cultivator’s Breakthrough in Realm, doubles in power once it reaches the fourth and seventh stages.

The fourth Heavenly Tribulation struck down, far more terrifying than Lu Changsheng had imagined. His body was not only lacerated and bleeding, but even some of his bones were shattered.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body beside him, even with the [Yin Yang Diagram] and [Five Elements Mountain], had become somewhat faint, as if about to shatter.

“Om!” Lu Changsheng circulated the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, and the healing Divine Light from his chest surged like a river, rapidly rejuvenating his Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Immediately after, he conjured the [Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor] and draped it over his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Relying on Medicinal Pills, bone talismans, and the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, Lu Changsheng passed the fifth and sixth Heavenly Tribulations.

He felt that his Physical Body could still barely withstand it; at worst, he could use the Nirvana Divine Ability!

After all, the benefits gained from such a purification were astonishing.

It was just his Nascent Soul Spirit Body that he couldn’t quite grasp.

To be safe, Lu Changsheng still withdrew his Nascent Soul Spirit Body into his body, intending to observe the situation before letting his Nascent Soul emerge after the Lightning Tribulation had passed.

Hong Lian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Changsheng finally withdraw his Nascent Soul Spirit Body into his body.

According to her deduction, when the seventh Heavenly Tribulation struck, Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body would likely be severely injured or shattered, which would affect the subsequent Heart Demon tribulation.

However, seeing Lu Changsheng still enduring the Heavenly Tribulation with his Physical Body, without relying on Magic Treasures, a hint of worry involuntarily appeared deep within her beautiful eyes.

“Boom!”

The seventh Lightning Tribulation was terrifying, its might exceeding Lu Changsheng’s expectations.

His entire body was almost torn apart, not only bleeding profusely but also having most of his bones broken. He was in too much pain to speak, and he directly smashed down from the sky onto the ground with a violent crash.

“Husband!”

“Changsheng!”

“Lu Changsheng!”

Hong Lian, Lu Miaoge, and Yun Wanchang, watching from afar, all turned pale with shock, crying out in alarm, their faces filled with worry and concern.

But with the Heavenly Tribulation brewing, they couldn’t get close.

“I’m fine.”

Lu Changsheng responded hoarsely, almost too pained to speak.

His Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, located in his chest, also showed some cracks under the impact of this Lightning Tribulation.

An infinitely vast and majestic essence leaked from this breastbone, filling Lu Changsheng’s dilapidated body, flowing with a nine-colored glazed luster.

“This…”

The Nine Treasures Wishful Bone was Lu Changsheng’s Lifebound Treasure Bone, refined from the heavenly spiritual treasure embryo [nine treasures jade ruyi]!

Even though many years had passed, he had advanced his Body Refining to the Fourth-Order and his Cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yet, he had never fully unleashed the power of this Lifebound Treasure Bone.

Lu Changsheng never expected that during his Undergoing Tribulation today, his Lifebound Treasure Bone would actually be struck with a crack.

This caused the heavenly spiritual treasure Origin contained within the Treasure Bone to leak out.

“No destruction, no creation. In earlier years, this Lifebound Treasure Bone was a huge boost and aid to me!”

“Now that I’ve broken through to Nascent Soul, this Lifebound Treasure Bone, refined with external objects, might become a hindrance in the future! Since that’s the case, I’ll use this Opportunity to transform it into the foundation of my Nascent Soul, breaking through to establish anew!”

In a flash, Lu Changsheng made a decision in his heart. His Yin and Yang Magic Power surged, and he circulated the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique,” releasing the heavenly spiritual treasure Origin contained within the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone to nourish his Physical Body and integrate it into his flesh and blood.

He even used the Heavenly Tribulation to help him further break open the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

As the Origin essence of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone surged through his body, Lu Changsheng’s entire being radiated Divine Light, and his flesh and bones resonated incessantly, as if undergoing a complete transformation, constantly strengthening through destruction and rebirth.

The nine treasures jade ruyi, even as just a heavenly spiritual treasure embryo, had been used by Lu Changsheng for many years, and the accumulated Origin was still astonishingly vast and boundless.

At this moment, as the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone cracked under the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, Rolling essence, like a volcanic eruption, filled every inch of Lu Changsheng’s flesh and skin.

His body rapidly recovered, his flesh crystal clear, glowing with a nine-colored glazed luster, like a deity.

“Since the Earth Vein Qi of the Spiritual Vein can temper the Nascent Soul Spirit Body, and the Heavenly Lightning Qi of the Heavenly Tribulation contains Heavenly Dao Qi, then what about the Origin essence of a heavenly spiritual treasure!?”

At this moment, a thought emerged in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

“Although this heavenly spiritual treasure essence is an external object, it has been refined into my Lifebound Treasure Bone for a hundred years, perfectly integrated with my Magic Power and Qi. I can give it a try.”

Without much hesitation.

Lu Changsheng immediately poured the heavenly spiritual treasure Origin of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone into his Nascent Soul Spirit Body as if it were worthless, using it to condense and purify his Nascent Soul Spirit Body!

As the heavenly spiritual treasure essence of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone poured into his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, Lu Changsheng felt his Nascent Soul Spirit Body rapidly growing and solidifying!

He even vaguely felt that he could still comprehend the Nine Great Divine Abilities of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

It’s just that given the current situation, he had no time to comprehend them!

“Since I have the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone as support, then let’s go again!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes gleamed, and his entire body radiated a nine-colored glazed luster, like a War God bathing in lightning, his Aura imposing.

He lightly patted his lower abdomen, releasing his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, which was draped in the [Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor] and topped with the [Five Elements Mountain], and held it in his arms. Both his Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body endured the Heavenly Tribulation together.

As the Rolling Heavenly Tribulation and the heavenly spiritual treasure Origin essence, two forces, roared together in his core, Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body seemed to be draped in a layer of nine-colored glazed Divine Garment, pure and flawless, shimmering with light, sacred and inviolable.

Originally, Lu Changsheng had difficulty digesting the surging Origin of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, but under the Lightning Tribulation, he frantically digested it, and his Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body solidified and grew rapidly!

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

At this moment, the eighth Heavenly Tribulation descended, its power terrifying and vast, as if it could destroy Heaven and Earth.

Lu Changsheng remained utterly fearless, sitting cross-legged with his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, like two deities, one large and one small, with nine-colored glazed luster flowing around them.

His body was charred and shattered, bones exposed, and his Nascent Soul Spirit Body was almost disintegrated.

But under the nine-colored glazed luster, it recovered at a visible rate, helping them resist the Lightning Tribulation and transforming into even purer power.

“This!?”

Hong Lian and Yun Wanchang, watching the astonishing scene from afar, both looked surprised, exchanging glances, unsure of Lu Changsheng’s situation.

Why did he suddenly experience such an exaggerated state improvement!

But this situation undoubtedly made them immensely happy.

The ninth Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend.

Even with his Nine Treasures Wishful Bone cracked, the Origin of a heavenly spiritual treasure filling his entire body, and possessing the Magnetic Five Elements Mountain, Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor, and his Lifebound Treasure, the Yin Yang Diagram, Lu Changsheng dared not be careless.

He temporarily withdrew his Nascent Soul Spirit Body into his physical body.

He donned the slightly damaged Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor and placed the Magnetic Five Elements Mountain above his head, ready for battle.

The ninth Lightning Tribulation crashed down, as if to utterly crush the world, with tens of thousands of lightning bolts, dazzling and blinding, impossible to look at directly.

Not only Honglian, Yun Wanchang, and Qian Zhuyan.

Even the Golden Winged Roc in the distance couldn’t help but feel fear.

Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, even for a Fourth-Order Demon King like him, he wouldn’t dare to face it rashly, as it posed a life-threatening danger.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

Endless lightning intertwined and surged, like a blazing divine light, engulfing the Heaven and Earth, and the entire Void Realm was blasted into collapse.

The Magnetic Five Elements Mountain above Lu Changsheng’s head immediately cracked in several places.

But relying on his Fourth-Order physique and the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, he didn’t even need to fully activate the Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor.

He immediately took off his armor to protect his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, and both of them bathed in the vast purplish-green lightning Heavenly Tribulation, like an ocean.

During the process, his physical body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body were constantly scorched and weakened by the roaring, oceanic aftershocks of the Heavenly Tribulation, but an endless stream of nine-colored glazed light immediately emerged.

After a long while.

“The Lightning Tribulation barrier, passed!”

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, feeling that under the dual baptism of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation and the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, his “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique” could break through to the fourteenth level.

As for his Nascent Soul magic power and Nascent Soul Spirit Body, he didn’t know how to describe them!

Vast, boundless, profound, irresistible!

Even his physical body, which was about to break through to the fourteenth level, was not as profound as his Nascent Soul magic power.

“Has this surpassed a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul?”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, not knowing the specifics of his Nascent Soul’s condition.

Seeing the lightning dissipate in the sky, Honglian, Yun Wanchang, and the others in the distance were too shocked to speak.

After all, the way Lu Changsheng underwent his Heavenly Tribulation was simply too astonishing.

It shocked the two Nascent Soul cultivators beyond measure, their hearts rising and falling with Lu Changsheng.

For ordinary Cultivators, let alone having their Nascent Soul emerge from their body to bear the Heavenly Tribulation together with their physical body.

Even relying solely on Magic Treasures and calamity-dissolving treasures to undergo the tribulation carried immense danger.

Yet, Lu Changsheng almost entirely underwent the tribulation with both his physical body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body simultaneously, bearing the Heavenly Tribulation’s baptism.

“Could it be that a Great Dao Nascent Soul means the physical body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body undergo all nine Lightning Tribulations together?”

Yun Wanchang had never heard of the concept of a Great Dao Nascent Soul.

At this moment, seeing Lu Changsheng face the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body like a Demon King or an ancient Body Cultivator, and releasing his Nascent Soul Spirit Body to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation and draw in the Qi of the Heavenly Dao, she couldn’t help but guess this.

“Next, it’s the Heart Demon Tribulation!”

Lu Changsheng saw the tribulation clouds in the sky rolling and surging, gradually forming a vortex like an abyss, and his heart paused slightly.

Then he shook off all the charred dead skin and powdered robes from his body, changed into a brand new magic robe, and with a light lift of his palm, a black and white flowing Medicinal Pill appeared.

It was precisely the Demonic Subduing Calamity Eradication Pill!

The Heart Demon Tribulation was extremely dangerous, and under normal circumstances, Lu Changsheng truly had no confidence and dared not undergo it recklessly.

But with the top-grade Demonic Subduing Calamity Eradication Pill provided by the System, Lu Changsheng felt that this Heart Demon Tribulation might not be that terrifying!

The Demonic Subduing Calamity Eradication Pill melted upon entering his mouth, and besides his mind feeling a bit clearer, Lu Changsheng felt almost nothing.

He sat quietly, holding his breath and concentrating, experiencing the new life force that emerged from the Heaven and Earth rules after the Lightning Tribulation, promoting his magic power and healing his injuries, waiting for the Heart Demon Tribulation to descend.

“Heart Demon Tribulation.”

Honglian and the others looked at the abyss-like vortex slowly forming in the sky, like a demonic eye overlooking them, and a sense of unease instinctively arose in their hearts.

As the Heart Demon tribulation clouds surged, a strange and ethereal otherworldly demonic sound rang out, and Lu Changsheng felt a dizzying sensation, his mind momentarily dazed as he entered the Heart Demon illusion.

The Heart Demon Tribulation had begun!

“Everyone else, leave the sect gate immediately!”

On the Mind Inquiry Stage of the Qingyun Sect, a Cultivator dressed in a Qingyun Sect deacon’s robe shouted loudly.

Lu Changsheng looked at the scene before him, his expression dazed.

I was eliminated from the Immortal Sect assessment.

Immediately, he, Hong Yi, and Li Feiyu walked out of the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate with heavy hearts.

But looking at the two dejected individuals, he didn’t know why, but a sense of daze and familiarity inexplicably surged in his heart.

“Dear young friends, our Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family is currently recruiting twenty sons-in-law, offering Spiritual Veins, blessed lands, and Cultivation Secret Manuals. Are you interested?”

Just then, a refined man in his thirties or forties, dressed in a green scholar’s robe, walked over and said to them.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu went to the Lu Family to become sons-in-law.

As a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, Lu Changsheng accomplished almost nothing in Qingzhu Mountain except for having his first child and receiving a reward, spending his days in a daze.

“Heh heh, this can also become a Heart Demon. Even without the System, I, Lu Changsheng, can still rise through my own efforts!”

“The System merely allowed me to avoid some detours.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly chuckled, his mind clear.

In an instant, the scene before him shattered like a dream bubble.

Another dizzying sensation, his consciousness blurred, and he opened his eyes to find himself in a cave, with loud rumbling noises coming from outside.

Just then, a colorful woman with hazy eyes and a flushed face suddenly appeared before him and pushed him down.

Three days and three nights later.

“A mere Qi Refining minor Cultivator dares to defile this Venerable One!”

The woman in the colorful dress, with an incomparably beautiful and noble demeanor, spoke in a clear voice, then waved her jade hand.

Lu Changsheng only felt himself falling into an endless dark abyss of death, his consciousness sinking, his heart filled with fear.

“Damn it!”

Lu Changsheng instantly woke up from the illusion, and the surrounding space shattered.

Various Heart Demon illusions came one after another, targeting every weakness and spiritual flaw of Lu Changsheng, attempting to make him immerse himself, fall into them, and gradually lose himself.

Normally, even if a Cultivator could wake up from a Heart Demon illusion, it would cause fatigue and exhaustion to their mind.

Ultimately, they would be unable to extricate themselves from a certain illusion and would sink into it.

However, Lu Changsheng had consumed the top-grade Demonic Subduing Calamity Eradication Pill. As soon as a Heart Demon illusion appeared, he would feel an unreal sense of daze.

This allowed him to realize that he was undergoing the Heart Demon Tribulation, and he could quickly wake up from the Heart Demon illusion.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lu Changsheng didn’t know how many Heart Demon illusions he had undergone.

Suddenly, the profound sound of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao rang out, and colorful auspicious light permeated the air, shining upon Lu Changsheng.

“The Heart Demon Tribulation, finally over!”

Lu Changsheng felt a surge of joy in his heart as he successfully advanced to a Great Dao Nascent Soul under the Heaven and Earth rules that emerged with the colorful auspicious light.

“Congratulations, husband, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Lu Changsheng, congratulations!”

“Changsheng, congratulations!”

Honglian, Yun Wanchang, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden Winged Roc all congratulated him.

For a moment, Lu Changsheng felt boundless heroic spirit in his heart.

Nascent Soul!

He had finally broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

However, just then, he had a sudden premonition that Great Dream Immortal City was in danger. He immediately took his wives there and single-handedly annihilated the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Town Sea Seven Sects.

“Listen well, I am Lu Changsheng, the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City. If you want revenge, come and try. My Dao field is on Bihu Mountain, where the Sun and Moon hang high!”

Lu Changsheng announced to the world, placing the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror as the array core, circling above Bihu Mountain. During the day, it flowed with the Great Sun Divine Light, and at night, it bloomed with Taiyin Moon Essence. Any approaching enemy would be directly blasted to death.

Subsequently, he single-handedly pacified the Liang-Yue War, annihilated the Seven Kill Sect, destroyed the Yinming Ghost Sect, and swept across the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.

However, decades later, the great tribulation of the Seven Demonic Sects swept into the Southern Wilderness Northern Region. Lu Changsheng saw a crimson expanse, the world seemingly turned blood-red, and his wives and children fell one by one in battle.

“Daddy…” His daughter, Lu Linghe, cried loudly, her voice filled with helplessness.

Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with immense grief, his body trembling slightly, and then he mumbled in a daze, “This is completely not my style…”

In the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, within the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes with a dazed expression, as if he had experienced thousands of years and seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

Just then, above the sky, the dim mist dissipated like a tide, and a vast five-colored auspicious cloud emerged, brilliant and splendid.

“Dong dong dong!!!”

Sounds of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao’s profound essence emanated from the gradually appearing colorful auspicious clouds, as if containing the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth.

Immediately after, five-colored auspicious light and invisible Dao韵 descended upon Lu Changsheng, who sat cross-legged, with Yin-Yang Two Qi flowing around him.

In an instant, the nine-colored glazed Nascent Soul Spirit Body within Lu Changsheng’s body seemed to gain a profound enlightenment, merging with the Heaven and Earth. It sat upon the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation, with one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the earth.

After one hundred and twenty-five years of Cultivation, the Nascent Soul was formed!
