Chapter 306



306 I’m a nascent soul cultivator!

Breaking through from the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage was really like giving birth.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called this name.

When Lu Qing officially started his breakthrough process, he could clearly sense that the inside of his golden core was transforming.

Originally, a cultivator’s golden core was the product of a cultivator’s essence, Qi, and spirit, which were the essence of the body, spirit Qi, and soul. And the initial stage of forming the nascent soul was to give activity.

The so-called bestowment of vitality sounded very mysterious, but the essence of doing it was to imbue one’s own power with the understanding of the immortal Dao, which was also the so-called ‘Dao’, that one had gained over the past hundreds of years.

It was a profound mystery, but it was closely related to the comprehension that cultivators gradually accumulated in their long cultivation.

Everything started from the core of the Golden core, and then to the entire golden core.

The first step of breaking through to the nascent soul realm was considered complete. This was a step that tested a cultivator’s perception, experience, and understanding.

Lu Qing took two months to complete this.

Up until now, his entire cultivation career could be considered to have accumulated nearly three hundred and sixty years. He also felt that his comprehension was not bad.

However, this was only the first step. Most of the cultivators at the peak of the jiedan stage who dared to make a breakthrough had this kind of confidence, so they would not be too far off. Most of them would be able to take the first step smoothly.

And when it came to the second step, the difficulty would suddenly increase.

The Dao that a cultivator had comprehended in his life had already been bestowed to the Golden core. Next, it was time to bestow the concept of ‘I’.

‘Dao’ and ‘I’ were the two essential elements to become a nascent soul cultivator. The Dao of heaven and earth and the Dao of the immortal path were different for everyone, and they had different understandings. This was the objective truth of heaven and earth, a cultivator’s personal understanding of this objective truth, and at the same time, it was filled with the cultivator’s own pride, hope, ambition, and perception.

The former had already been given to the Golden core in the first stage. No matter how deep or correct this so-called understanding was, at least, there was no backlash. This meant that a cultivator’s understanding had not deviated from the way of heaven-in fact, it was very difficult to deviate. On the path of cultivation, there were thousands of cultivation methods and each had their own way. There was not only one way of heaven, and your way of heaven might not be the same as mine. No matter how ridiculous it was, as long as it was reasonable, there was nothing wrong with it.

The ‘Dao’ that really couldn’t be justified naturally couldn’t be turned into a cultivation technique for people to cultivate.

As for the latter, which was the part of ‘me’, in the process of gradually bestowing it, the most direct manifestation was that the inside of the Jindan started to’ move’, as if it had its own consciousness.

The second step of ‘I’ was much more difficult for cultivators than the first step.

Indeed, ten thousand cultivators had ten thousand paths, and there was no right or wrong. However, in conclusion, did he truly understand his own ‘Dao’? Did he really do that? Did he turn the Dao in the cultivation technique he cultivated into his own Dao?

If there was a mistake at this step, then the concept of ‘I’ would not be able to successfully give the Aurous core, and it would not even be able to reach the nascent Soul Stage. The Aurous core that was halfway through its Ascension would directly shatter.

However, Lu Qing did not have much of a problem in this aspect. If his cultivation hadn’t reached this level, he wouldn’t have dared to attempt to break through to the nascent Soul Stage.

In his perception, as the concept of ‘I’ was given to the Golden core, the power that flowed in the Golden core gradually condensed into the shape of a baby.

The baby was very small, but it was the foundation of a cultivator.

As the concept of ‘self’ grew stronger, it meant that the cultivator’s baby would grow in the Golden core until the entire golden core was filled.

This process took Lu Qing another six months. It was also the longest period of time he had ever spent.

He watched another version of himself, who looked like a baby, grow up day by day in the Golden core in his dantian.

Normally, he would probably complain about this in his heart. However, at this juncture, he did not have the slightest intention of doing so. He couldn’t have any distracting thoughts in his heart, and he had to focus on breaking through.

After completing the second step, Lu Qing began to break through to the third step of the nascent soul realm.

The full integration of ‘Dao’ and ‘I’, transferring consciousness into the nascent soul, making the nascent soul really come to life, and completely leaving the Golden core and breaking out of the shell, was breaking the core to form the nascent soul!

This step tested the ‘Dao’ of the cultivation technique and the ‘self’ of the cultivator’s personal understanding, and whether they were harmonious and unified. It wasn’t as simple as the concept. These things would directly affect the attributes of power at the current stage.

Those that could be unified would become the power of the nascent soul, or even a part of the nascent soul. Those that could not be unified would be excluded and become the Jindan shell that restricted the Yuanying.

This was equivalent to fighting against himself. Which part was stronger, the purest power that could help cultivators to walk further in the future, or the messy power?

If the Yuanying was not strong enough and the power was not United enough, then it was possible that it could not break the Golden core. When the power was exhausted, the cultivator would no longer be able to control the remaining power in the Golden core before the Yuanying was formed. The cultivator would be seriously injured and difficult to recover, and would be beaten back to the initial enlightenment stage.

Shattering the core and forming the nascent soul, compared to the first two steps, the degree of danger was a few points higher!

To Lu Qing, this step was still dangerous.

He calmed his mind and focused. When his eyes were closed, his consciousness had long been fully immersed in the nascent soul that had just taken shape in his golden core.

The energy that he had accumulated for a month burst out in the ninth month after the breakthrough.

At the same time, Lu Qing also felt a strange yet familiar power restricting his newly born nascent soul.

That was his own true essence, the part of his power that he was unwilling to abandon, the power that was in extreme conflict with the Yuanying.

Lu Qing did not show any mercy as he destroyed the powers that were restricting him. If you can integrate, then do so. If you can’t, then get lost!

Lu Qing, who was in his nascent soul state, felt a sharp will between his brows. His nascent soul seemed to have turned into a sharp sword with an aggressive aura. It wiped out all the restrictions in an extremely short period of time.

Lu Qing saw light in silence.

In his nascent soul state, everything he could see was in chaos. This was the state of the nascent soul in the Golden core. When he destroyed his golden core, the light shone on him and he felt his body become lighter. He was free.

However, he was not the least bit careless.

After the third stage, the fourth stage began.

If the first step was to create the conditions for breeding the Yuanying in the Jindan, the second step was to gradually let the Yuanying grow, the third step was to break the core and form the Yuanying, and the fourth step was to let the Yuanying ‘live’.

Most of the Golden core cultivators had completed the third step of breaking the core and forming the nascent soul. However, when the nascent soul fought against the impurities in its body, it had consumed too much and became extremely weak. And after leaving the Jindan cultivation environment, they would be in direct contact with the outside world. This was also a very difficult barrier for the newborn and fragile Yuanying.

If he couldn’t, then his nascent soul would most likely dissipate.

If the nascent soul was gone and the Golden core was shattered, wouldn’t that make the child a complete child?

Lu Qing cautiously sensed that there was nothing wrong with the power in the outside world.

Indeed, he felt that the newly born nascent soul would feel uncomfortable when it came into direct contact with the outside world’s spiritual Qi. However, the discomfort was not strong and the impact on the nascent soul was relatively small.

to think that I was so worried about Yingluo. Lu Qing felt much more relaxed.

If he wanted to break through to the nascent soul realm, he must have done some careful research before breaking through. The Qingfeng sect used to have nascent soul cultivators, and they had more than one. Those old seniors had also left their experiences and insights of breaking through to the nascent soul realm in written Jade slips.

Lu Qing must have seen all of these.

In the many Jade slips, it was clearly stated that there were four stages to break through to the Yuanying stage, and each stage was much more dangerous than the previous stage. Lu Qing felt that this was indeed the case for the first three stages. However, he did not sense any difficulty or danger in the fourth stage.

could it be that my nascent soul is strong enough that I don’t feel too weak after breaking the core and forming the nascent soul, so the outside world can’t affect me? ”

“Yes, that’s very likely.”

“We have to record this down so that the future generations of the family can have some reference.”

This thought only flashed through his mind.

In fact, for the current him, the feeling of excitement overwhelmed everything.

In his closed-door cultivation room, all the precious materials worth nearly 150000 spiritual stones had lost their spirituality. In the array he had set up, all these things had been absorbed completely during his nine months of breakthrough and had played their necessary role.

But so what? After breaking through to the nascent Soul Stage, what did these spirit stones and materials mean?

However, Lu Qing was not too pleased with himself.

Although he didn’t feel that the outside environment would have any adverse effect on his nascent soul, after all, the path that countless predecessors had walked with blood and tears must have had its own reasons.

Lu Qing sat obediently in his original position. His consciousness returned to his nascent soul and he began to follow the ‘creation rising star sword manual’. He began his first cultivation since he was a nascent soul.

At the same time, it was also nourishing the nascent soul and strengthening the adaptability of the nascent soul to the outside world through normal cultivation.

Normally, this process would take one to three months.

On the third day, the discomfort that Lu Qing had felt through his nascent soul had almost disappeared. However, he still continued to cultivate for a month.

Stability was the best!

When he felt that everything was fine, Lu Qing thought of another important question. According to the system’s rules, the strongest power he could display in his family’s territory was limited to the peak of the Golden core realm.

Before he had broken through, this was not a problem. Anyway, his own strength was only at the peak of the Golden core stage, so the system could not restrict him. But now, he had successfully broken through to the Yuanying stage, but under the restrictions of the system, he could only display the strength of the peak jiedan stage.

Then how could he test the power of the original level?

Could it be that he had to use an exchange for resurrection? That was impossible.

According to his previous experience, the system would not impose any restrictions on his strength when he was in a state of static cultivation. Otherwise, he would not even be able to cultivate. However, once his physical body began to move, that kind of restriction would immediately descend on his head.

“Eh? What if my nascent soul moves when my physical body doesn’t?”

When Lu Qing thought of this, he immediately began to do so!

The nascent soul could leave the body, and it didn’t have to rely on the physical body to exist!

In fact, in the middle and late stages of the nascent soul realm, the nascent soul could leave the physical body and travel across the sky. It could even help cultivators in battle.

However, in the early stage of the nascent soul realm, the nascent soul was still very weak and could not leave the body for too long. Even if it left the body, it would be useless. On the contrary, it could easily be used as a breakthrough point and become the target of attack.

If they weren’t bored to death, cultivators wouldn’t let their nascent souls out.

Lu Qing was a little bored.

His nascent soul had left his body!

In that instant, Lu Qing had a very strange feeling.

His eyes saw a palm-sized, translucent baby appear before him. Her face was young and tender, but she looked a little similar to him.

At the same time, he seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see his own body.

But no matter what, his nascent soul had successfully left his body!

The system didn’t restrict the nascent soul from leaving the body?

That did not seem to be the only thing. Lu Qing stood up and his body moved. However, there was no reward for the familiar feeling of suppression and restriction. He could still feel that he had all his power.

He thought for a moment and immediately controlled the nascent soul to fly out of the door.

At the door, he stopped—the system’s warning came.

[ Please note that if you leave the chamber, you will lose the power of the nascent Soul Stage and your nascent soul will be damaged. ]

“Ai, ai, ai, as expected, I can only maintain my original infant stage strength in the closed door cultivation room.”

Lu Qing called his nascent soul back and tried to walk out of the door.

He successfully walked out, but his nascent soul seemed to be suppressed by some kind of force. It was hunched up in his dantian, unable to move. Lu Qing also felt that the power that he could mobilize had clearly fallen by a level. It had become the peak of the Golden elixir realm.

But no matter what, this was great news.

In the past, he was only able to possess all his strength when he was in a state of cultivation. With a move of his physical body, only the peak of initial enlightenment was left in the closed-door cultivation room. As for the closed-door cultivation room, he could not even leave.

Now, he could possess all his strength in the closed-door cultivation room. After leaving the closed-door cultivation room, he could also possess the strength of a peak golden elixir realm cultivator in Pingyao County. However, he still could not leave Pingyao County’s territory.

However, he still couldn’t help but think: When the clan’s level increased further and became strong enough, the system’s restrictions should be further weakened.

“How I wish that the time where I can freely travel the vast world would come sooner.”

“But no matter what, I’m already a nascent soul cultivator! The only original leveled cultivator in the Feiyun state! The seventh nascent soul cultivator in the country of Yan!”
