Chapter 926: Nascent Soul

ill one person who knew he might be alive: the very skilled hider who had escaped during the battle with Di Kun and the earth puppet. If that person revealed that he had escaped from the fire bat swar...Lu Xia Tian sat by the mountain stream for half a year. It was late autumn, with white frost covering the ground and trees.

At this time, even Lu Xiaoteng's body was covered in a layer of frost. His magical power surged, the frost vaporized, turning into wisps of water vapor. At this time, the surrounding night was like water, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Lu Xiaoxiao waved his hand, and four circular formations with star patterns fell to the surroundings. To deal with this Nascent Soul tribulation, Chen He Nian had also spent a lot of effort, obtaining a defensive treasure called Qing Sha Man from the Ancient Sword Gate. It was a masterpiece created by Yue Chengang, the master craftsman of the Ancient Sword Sect, and did not require much energy to refine. According to Chen He Nian, this Qing Sha Man was refined using the soul of an eleventh-order demon electric eel as a guide and the fish skin of the demon electric eel as the material. The demon electric eel is known for its ability to devour lightning power.

Of course, it doesn't require the same meticulous cultivation as other artifacts of spirit energy, which can take decades or even centuries for a cultivator's spiritual essence to imbue them with power. Naturally, there are also drawbacks. This piece of green gauze curtain is a one-time use item; once used, it is gone.

Since Chen He'yu, whose lifespan was relatively longer, fell in the Battle of Wangyue City, Chen He'nian, for the sake of increasing the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in Lingxiao Palace, was willing to spend a lot of money. Originally, when Lu Xia Tian rushed to Tianshan Mountain to participate in the war, he was indeed dissatisfied with these two old monsters. However, after taking the blue silk gauze curtain given by Chen He'nian using treasures and favors, it was considered offset.

After setting up the formation disk obtained from Ziyuanxing Palace, Lu Xia Tian didn't need to prepare much else.

He sat cross-legged again, his palm resting on a common Nascent Soul Pill. The pill's medicinal power unfolded within him, its medicinal energy flowing like a torrent, striking the Nine-Colored Golden Core with the force of a sledgehammer. Lu Xia Tian was in excruciating pain, his vision turning black. Although he had some understanding of the pain of shattering the golden core from Chen He Nian's accounts, he hadn't expected it to be this intense. It felt like his body was about to explode at any moment. If not for the pain he had endured during the soul severance before, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Under the immense impact of the power of the Jiedan pill, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the Nine-Colored Golden Pill, but overall it remained completely unaffected. A large amount of medicinal power transformed from the Jiedan pill was surging around, and Lu Xiaoteng's complexion changed. Before, even if he hadn't successfully formed his core during the process of forming a golden elixir, he could still pause, summarize his experience, and then prepare sufficiently before attempting again.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't even remember how many times he had tried to form his golden core, dragging it out for years before finally achieving the nine-colored golden core. Who knew forming an infant soul would be completely different Now, even his nine-colored golden core had a crack in it. If he couldn't reach the Nascent Soul realm in one go, his golden core would be damaged and his cultivation would plummet. It would take who knows how long to regain his lost strength.

Once the process is stopped, if the Jindan breaks but cannot be shattered into an infant spirit, wouldn't it mean there would be no further chance to form an infant spirit Lu Xia Tian gritted his teeth inwardly. Why didn't that old monster Chen He Nian tell him about this situation However, Lu Xia Tian quickly regained his composure. Perhaps it was because his nine-colored Jindan was too solid, making it more difficult to shatter it.

The old methods for forming the elixir no longer work, and even Chen He Nian's teachings are only applicable to most situations. This nine-colored golden elixir within my body is completely different from ordinary ones. If I stubbornly cling to the experiences of others, let alone forming an infant soul, I wouldn't even know how to die.

An ordinary Golden Core Pill won't work, so we'll use the top-grade one. Lu Xia Tian poured all the immense medicinal power from his dantian into the barrier. Then, without a word, he swallowed another top-grade Golden Core Pill. Thankfully, there was this barrier inside him, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to channel that massive amount of power out in the first place and immediately perform a second pulverization. Perhaps his attempt at forming a Nascent Soul would have ended right there.

The pain of the golden elixir shattering was so excruciating that Lu Xia Tian's teeth ached as if they would break. His whole body trembled. This time, the cracks on the nine-colored golden elixir were more numerous than last time.

Even though the pill hadn't shattered yet, Lu Xia Tian’s eyes were blood red, and cold sweat rolled down his entire body.

The pain of a shattered Jindan, a significant number of cultivators who attempted to form an infant soul (Ying) halted at this stage. Only those with immense perseverance could persevere beyond it.

But this is only the first test. After Lu Xia Tian formed his nine-colored golden elixir and reached the later stage of the Golden Core, his advantage in magical power gradually emerged. Few Golden Core cultivators could withstand his blow. He had enjoyed the benefits brought by the nine-colored golden elixir before, but now it was time to bear its drawbacks.

There is nothing perfect in the world. Calamity often brings forth good fortune, and good fortune can easily lead to misfortune.

But at this moment, Lu Xiaitian once again made a crazy move. He directly channeled the medicinal power of the mid-grade Nascent Soul Pill into the barrier. As a result, an unprecedented spiritual force, like nine heavenly thunderbolts, struck the nine-colored golden pill.

Boom! Lu Xia Tian felt even his five spiritual souls were shattered by this blow. He was dizzy and disoriented, his consciousness fragmented, his divine sense a blank expanse. It was as if countless insects were biting at his spiritual soul, causing him excruciating pain millions of times over in an instant. All he saw was endless darkness.

A voice seemed to whisper in the darkness, "Give up, give up. If you give up, you won't feel this pain of your consciousness shattered into a million pieces anymore. Everything will end."

Beyond the barren mountains, Chen He Nian frowned and looked at the area where Lu Xiao Tian was with worry. To prevent Lu Xiao Tian from being disturbed, Chen He Nian had issued a ban on the entire Ling Xiao Palace early on. Even the movement of spirit beasts and birds outside the restricted area in the back mountain was strictly limited.

At this time, the entire Lingxiao Palace knew that Lu Xiaoteng had returned, and only Chen He Nian was aware of it. Besides Chen He Nian, even Lei Wanten only knew that Lu Xiaoteng had left Bahe City before to fight the Ghost Clan. They didn't know that someone was crossing the tribulation in Lingxiao Palace at this moment.

It can be seen that Chen He Nian attaches great importance to Lu Xiao Tian's tribulation this time, to an immeasurable extent.

In the distant night sky, dark clouds began to gather, one by one, far from when he had crossed the tribulation before in one go. Until Lu Xia Tian swallowed the top-grade Nascent Soul Pill, the original clear and bright night sky with the moon hanging high suddenly became violent with stormy clouds. Rolling thunder and lightning surged within the thick, alarming cloud layers, like dragons and snakes swimming about.

The astonishing celestial phenomenon was impossible to hide any longer. Witnessing this incredible change, even Chen He Nian, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, was taken aback, muttering to himself, "How could this kid's tribulation cloud be so terrifying!"

When I think about myself crossing the tribulation back then, I probably didn't even reach one-tenth of this. Chen He Nian's heart was filled with anxiety, like an ant walking around on a hot pot.

At this moment, although he was worried about Lu Xiaoteng's situation, he absolutely dared not use his divine sense to investigate Lu Xiaoteng's current condition. Firstly, any probing by a primordial spirit would be a disturbance to Lu Xiaoteng who was currently undergoing the tribulation.w, most of her inner energy was consumed. If it weren't for Lu Xia Tian taking over and blocking several attacks for her, she would have long since been like the low-level demons and cultivators caugh...
