Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After more than a month, his aura reached perfection. Zhang Yuanjing then took out the Yang Yuan Crystal. This stone was only the size of a fist, and its entire body was red. Bathed in an environment of spiritual energy like mist, it was like a dancing flame.

He could feel that in his Niwan Palace, the spiritual soul, like a bright moon hanging in the vast and empty space, was eagerly craving this stone.

The transformation from a semi-acquired to a pure innate spiritual soul, achieving the Nascent Soul realm, is the most difficult hurdle in refining Qi into the spirit.

Although Zhang Yuanjing had personally witnessed two cultivators successfully overcome this hurdle, without his help, they would have most likely failed.

Now, he was alone. If he encountered difficulties, he would not receive external help, nor would he have additional spiritual objects to assist him. He could only rely on himself.

His heart couldn't help but tremble, with some excitement, some nervousness, and some fear. Going against the heavens and forcibly breaking through the gate of life and death, how many could face it calmly!

All he could rely on was a foundation far more solid than that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators. This foundation benefited from the Yishen Pill, the Melting Gold Pill, the high-grade spiritual objects from the Hengduan Mountains, the Thick Earth Skill, the Eight Earth Techniques, the tempering of his physical body, the illusionary trials in Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum, and the various experiences and trials of the past century.

Of course, there was also the Yang Yuan Crystal, the golden strange stone, and the Void Sky Stone.

He couldn't help but think: Even if my aptitude is poor, with these foundations, the probability of breaking through shouldn't be too low!

He reached out and held the Yang Yuan Crystal, circulating the Thick Earth Creation Skill, slowly extracting the power of Yang Yuan. A burning sensation spread throughout his body, and countless invisible impurities transformed into foul gas, seeping out from every pore.

In less than two breaths, this burning sensation spread to the spiritual soul, as if it were soaking in a hot spring, feeling warm all over.

The transformation of the spiritual soul into a Nascent Soul began. Everything progressed very smoothly, with almost no obstacles felt. A burst of joy welled up in Zhang Yuanjing's heart.

As the spiritual soul changed, he felt his body fall into extreme deficiency, so he took the opportunity to draw spiritual power from the spiritual veins.

He was only acting subconsciously, but this kind of transformation was an act of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, requiring vast spiritual energy to complete. Therefore, as his body's spiritual soul changed, it began to extract spiritual power on its own. The spiritual power in the spiritual veins surged like a tide, rushing onto his body, pouring into the meridians and dantian from all parts of his body, and finally transforming into the power to refine the body and strengthen the soul.

Hundreds of miles away, on a perilous cliff, flying swords stood like a forest, inserted into the jade-like giant rocks. In the center of the sword forest, a white-haired, red-faced Daoist sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed, white clothes as white as snow, spotless. His aura rumbled like muffled thunder, and the flying swords around him vibrated, emitting a harmonious sound.

Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, releasing two sword-like rays of divine light, sweeping across the cliff, making a crackling sound.

After a few breaths, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "The spiritual energy is surging and flowing outwards. Could it be that one of the disciples in the sect is breaking through? I've been in seclusion for decades, and unexpectedly there are outstanding younger generations again. Well, not bad!"

The Daoist nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and continued to meditate.

As the Yang Yuan Crystal was consumed, Zhang Yuanjing's spiritual soul gradually gained a trace of supreme Yang aura. He was neither happy nor sad, emptying his mind, allowing the technique to operate on its own, the magic power communicating internally and externally, and the divine soul naturally transforming.

After smoothly passing the initial stage of change without any obstacles, what followed was the accumulation from quantity to quality. There was no fixed number for how much accumulation was needed to trigger the transformation of the entire divine soul. The so-called probability of advancement was actually here. Some cultivators may trigger the complete leap of the spiritual soul with just the initial change. Some cultivators may not be able to wait for the qualitative change of the divine soul, and ultimately fail. This situation is only partly related to aptitude, and the rest depends on luck.

The spiritual energy surging from the spiritual veins became more and more abundant, gathering towards him like a whirlwind. He used the Heaven-Supporting Art to refine his physical body.

The supreme Yang aura of the divine soul increased bit by bit, and the spiritual soul became more and more solidified, gently vibrating in the Niwan Palace.

With six-tenths of the Yang Yuan Crystal remaining, the possibility of a successful breakthrough was very high.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind: "Yuanjing, my divine soul is so hot. Is it that my divine soul and body are not in harmony again?"

"Ah? What?" Zhang Yuanjing was suddenly shocked and quickly asked, "Brother Ape, your divine soul is hot? When did it start?"

"Yes, my divine soul seems to be burned by fire, just now!" Ape Thirteen replied somewhat慌张.

Could it be? A bad thought arose in Zhang Yuanjing's mind.

"Besides the burning sensation in your divine soul, are there any other symptoms?"

"No, there aren't—wait, my body feels a little weak, like I'm hungry?" Ape Thirteen said uncertainly.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, then reached out and released Ape Thirteen.

The moment it appeared, the vast spiritual power that was originally rushing only towards Zhang Yuanjing, was mostly diverted to this golden-haired monkey.

Ape Thirteen mumbled and sent a divine thought asking: "Yuanjing, is this, is this me breaking through? Am I going to transform? Can I become like Yuanjing, and can I speak?"

Zhang Yuanjing's eyelids twitched, and he said somewhat depressedly: "If you want to transform, wait until your divine soul has transformed. Don't hurry up and meditate and circulate your energy, guiding spiritual energy into your body!"

Ape Thirteen nodded quickly, sat cross-legged next to Zhang Yuanjing, and used both the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill and the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique to absorb and refine a huge amount of spiritual power. The divine soul was receiving strands of supreme Yang aura from Zhang Yuanjing, and slowly transforming towards the Nascent Soul.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing had determined that his and Ape Thirteen's divine souls were connected. If he wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had to bring this golden-backed ape with him.

Zhang Yuanjing was greatly frustrated, but he had not given up. He took out the golden stone as a backup. This object was the purest earth power. Although it was not a supreme Yang object, its purity could still play a role in the transformation of the spiritual soul.

One man and one ape were both at the Great Perfection stage. The two of them simultaneously absorbed the spiritual veins, and once again alarmed the old Daoist on the perilous cliff.

He frowned, feeling quite strange. He didn't know why the sect would arrange for two Core Formation Great Perfection cultivators to break through at the same time. This was really an unwise move, extremely absurd. The two were competing for spiritual power, and neither of them had enough, which was equivalent to wasting opportunities and consuming spiritual caves.

He took a spiritual talisman and wrote a few lines of words with magic power, threw it downwards, and then ignored it, still meditating to comprehend profound skills.

Below the cliff, by the side of a river, a heavy-style hip-roofed hall stood here. Outside the hall, cultivators were in a hurry, and inside the hall, several people were arguing endlessly.

After more than ten breaths, a middle-aged Daoist at the head said: "Everyone, please stop arguing. Since there are no Great Perfection cultivators in the sect breaking through, it means that there is something wrong with the underground veins. The Real Person has already given instructions. Junior Brother Jun, Junior Brother He, take people to investigate and report immediately when there are results!"

Underground, in the next few hours, the spiritual energy gushing out from the spiritual veins was like a cyclone, surrounding Zhang Yuanjing and Ape Thirteen, steaming like hot water vapor. The auras of one man and one ape continued to rise, and their physical bodies were undergoing some kind of transformation, but the change in their divine souls was weakening. The Yang Yuan Crystal was about to be exhausted.

Zhang Yuanjing sighed softly, held the golden stone in his hand, and drew earth power from it, trying to make another effort. However, although this thing could greatly increase cultivation and strengthen the physical body, its effect on the divine soul was very limited. If it was only him, relying on this thing to slowly grind, there would still be a chance to realize the transformation of the divine soul. If Ape Thirteen was included, the opportunity would be quite slim.

One was that once the growth of this ape's divine soul could not keep up with the strength of its physical body, it would cause disharmony and endanger its life. The other was that this place was after all the core area of the Thousand Swords Sect. He and Ape Thirteen were swallowing spiritual power here, which must have already aroused the awareness of the Nascent Soul Real Person of this sect. It would still take some time for them to find this place, but it would not be too long after all.

Half an hour later, the Yang Yuan Crystal was completely gone, leaving not a single residue. The speed at which Zhang Yuanjing and Ape Thirteen devoured spiritual power also rapidly slowed down, and soon tended to stagnate.

"Yuanjing, why did it stop? Did you break through? It doesn't look like you advanced to the Nascent Soul!" Ape Thirteen asked with divine thought.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled bitterly: "It didn't stop, but failed."

Ape Thirteen was a little puzzled: "I haven't experienced the test of inner demons yet, how could I fail?"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't want to talk about this with this dull-headed monkey, so he asked: "Brother Ape, how much has your divine soul changed? Is there any supreme Yang aura yet?"

Ape Thirteen nodded quickly, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes! According to my bloodline memory, the most difficult part of breaking through the transformation is this level. If you can't trigger the change of supreme Yang, then there is no hope of breaking through in your life. If you realize this change quickly, the rest is much easier. As long as you take more supreme Yang spiritual objects that can promote the change of the divine soul, you can complete the advancement easily."

Take more supreme Yang objects that can induce the change of the divine soul? Zhang Yuanjing was a little speechless. If this thing was so easy to find, there wouldn't be so few Nascent Souls in the world.

However, the thought in his mind suddenly turned, but he also thought of the mystery hidden inside. In the future, if he could find many supreme Yang objects, he and Ape Thirteen would take them at the same time, which could mutually牵引 each other in the change of the divine soul, or it could maximize the probability of breakthrough.

However, the most worrying thing is that the soul ring has been manipulated by the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, and it must be found to be resolved.

He pondered for a moment, and decided not to look for the Yin Yang Creation Furnace first. This thing has too big of a background. If he gets involved too deeply, he will inevitably bear too much karma, which he may not be able to bear.

In this way, he needs to return to the Hengduan Mountains again, and try to exchange for the Purple Extreme Pill from the Profound Pill Hall. In addition, he may have to get a batch of fourth-order Profound Yin Thunder Fruits. At the beginning, he gave all of this thing to Hu Tiancong, and Hu Tiancong returned him a damaged seventh-order Profound Product Fruit, which was too high in level for him to take, but he could take it to the Xuandan Hall to trade for high-grade Purple Extreme Pills. He also had a few Thousand Purple Yao Dragon Grass, which could be exchanged for pills. However, he needs to find a trustworthy intermediary to succeed.

He didn't hesitate too much. Since he had made up his mind, he put Ape Thirteen into the spirit beast bag, and遁 from the ground out of the mountain.

As for the cultivators of the Thousand Swords Sect, after spending many days and using various methods, they still could not find the reason for the reverse flow of the spiritual veins. The underground spiritual veins of the peaks quickly returned to normal, so they treated it as an occasional abnormality and let it go.
