Thomas was overjoyed that Lin Zhen had successfully refined the Essence Gathering Powder for the Star Domain Stage and was promoted to a fifth-grade alchemist.
It had to be known that Lin Zhen was only 1003 years old and he was already a fifth-grade alchemist. With such talent, it wasn't impossible for him to advance to a seventh-grade alchemist in the future.
Thomas and Huangfu Qi announced on the spot that Lin Zhen was promoted to an elder of the Alchemist Guild!
Moreover, the guild could provide Lin Zhen with two World King level bodyguards. Lin Zhen said that he already had a World King level bodyguard, and that was Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng was only a second level World King, his star force had reached 1.7 million. He could be considered a decent master. Moreover, the guild could pay his bodyguards a salary. This was just right for Lin Feng, who was busy with the shop.
Lin Feng had really become a follower. He was originally a bit resistant to this identity, but when the generous salary was placed in front of him, this unprincipled fellow immediately accepted his fate.
As for the other bodyguard, Lin Zhen wasn't in a hurry. He could find one whenever he wanted.
The original small alchemy room had also been changed. It had been changed into an independent courtyard with all kinds of facilities. The treatment of an elder was different from that of a deacon.
However, none of this was important to Lin Zhen. What was important was that he could finally concoct mental strength potions. He could use Emerald Edge's perfect mental strength to give birth to a Divine Infant!
For the past three years, he had been studying information about Divine Infants all the time. He could already be called a grandmaster when it came to giving birth to a Divine Infant.
For others, it was fine to give birth to a Divine Infant using their mental strength. However, Lin Zhen wasn't willing to give up.
His Divine Infant was to be used to seize the body of a World King master. When choosing a target to seize, he had to choose a powerhouse.
As for those true powerhouses, each of them had a Divine Infant. As long as their flames of life hadn't been extinguished, their Divine Infant would still be very strong.
Therefore, Lin Zhen's figure had to be stronger than other people's Divine Infant.
For this matter, Lin Zhen had specifically asked Lin Feng to ask his father if there was a way to strengthen the Nascent Soul.
Although Lin Feng was with Lin Zhen, Shui Jing knew his every move. Knowing that Lin Zhen wanted to ask, he told Lin Zhen a piece of news he had heard before.
Shui Jing was not sure about this either. It was just a legend. It was said that when the heavens and earth were created, if the elemental essence of energy could be gathered, it could be condensed into a Divine Infant's weapon. However, the process was extremely painful, but once it succeeded, the Divine Infant would be much more powerful than other Divine Infants in battle.
After all, a person with a knife was much more powerful than an empty-handed person.
Lin Zhen had also researched this matter for a long time, and he had really come up with something.
The energy essence of the creation of Heaven and Earth was actually the purple energy within Lin Zhen's Dark Star space.
Furthermore, Lin Zhen had gathered all the energy elements to form a new world with a complete ecosystem. This was not difficult for Lin Zhen.
For the past three years, he had been gathering the elemental essence of energy and condensing it outside his spiritual sea.
These energy elements could change shape at will. Lin Zhen had been preparing for a long time, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

"Teacher, what do you think of the concoction of this spiritual power medicine?"
Lin Zhen asked Thomas. He was willing to call him teacher. Although Thomas might not have anything to teach him after a while, Lin Zhen would never forget his three years of teaching.
Without Thomas's pharmaceutics, Lin Zhen would not have been able to conceive a Divine Infant.
Thomas took the medicine and carefully looked, smelled, and tasted it. In the end, he gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up.
"Lin Zhen, today I know what it means for the student to surpass the master. Your talent has surprised me. I now declare that you can graduate from my apprenticeship. When it comes to pharmaceutics, especially spiritual power medicine, your understanding has already surpassed mine."
"It's all thanks to teacher's careful guidance. Lin Zhen will never forget it."
"Go, I know you want to conceive a Divine Infant. Remember, the color of the Divine Infant is the same as the color of your spiritual power advancement. Starting from the bronze level, the silver level, the gold level, the dark power level, the diamond level, the azure level, and finally the emerald level. The higher the color of your Divine Infant, the stronger your spiritual power is."
"Then what level is teacher's Divine Infant?"
Thomas was a ninth level World King, so Lin Zhen wanted to ask.
"Haha, I'm ashamed. My main focus is on alchemy. Not only is my realm stuck at the ninth level World King, but my Divine Infant is only at the late bronze level."
As Thomas spoke, his mind stirred and a small person appeared out of thin air.
One could vaguely make out that it was a little boy. It looked like a one-year-old baby with bronze skin. It had yet to enter the silver level.
However, such a small person was able to make Lin Zhen's emerald level spiritual power fluctuate.
If Thomas wanted to use this Divine Infant to deal with him, Lin Zhen wouldn't be able to resist.
After seeing Thomas' Divine Infant, Lin Zhen yearned for it even more.
After bidding farewell to Thomas, Lin Zhen returned to his courtyard. He closed the door and forbade anyone from disturbing him. He was about to begin his breakthrough.
He sat on the bed with a table in front of him. On the table was the spiritual power medicine that Lin Zhen had prepared.
Over the past three years, he had practiced the method of breaking through to the Divine Infant countless times in his mind. It was basically foolproof.
Perhaps the only difficulty was to transform his elemental energy into a divine weapon and enter his spiritual sea.
The so-called divine weapon was the weapon of the Divine Infant.
He closed his eyes slightly and his mind hovered in his spiritual sea.
Emerald level spiritual power was abundant in his spiritual sea. The conditions for nurturing the Divine Infant were fully met.
However, before that, Lin Zhen had to plant a divine weapon in his spiritual sea. It might be very painful, but Lin Zhen was least afraid of pain.
As long as he didn't die from the pain, Lin Zhen could bear it.
He believed that Shui Jing wouldn't speak carelessly. After all, his son was with him. If he could say something like that, it meant that he had a lot of confidence.
First, he fused the elemental energy that he had accumulated over the years and transformed it into the shape of a long spear.
Under the guidance of his spiritual power, the long spear slowly pierced into the emerald level spiritual power mass!
"Ah!!!"
As the long spear pierced into his spiritual sea, Lin Zhen couldn't help but let out a roar. The pain was almost as painful as having one's soul pass through a black hole!
If 100 million people did this at the same time, 90 million of them might faint on the spot, while the remaining 10 million would give up on the spot. No one would be able to endure it.
However, Lin Zhen wasn't among those 100 million people. Among a trillion people, there might not even be one person who could endure more than Lin Zhen.
The process was so painful that Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and stabbed the long spear fiercely!
With a loud bang, all the muscles in his body twitched. Lin Zhen fainted on the spot from the pain, then immediately woke up and fainted again!
This repeated countless times. Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and didn't give up. He allowed his spiritual power to fuse with the long spear. He even forgot about the passage of time as he hovered between life and death in the room alone.
On the first day, he fainted three hundred times!
On the third day, he fainted a hundred times!
On the fifth day, he fainted seven times!
On the tenth day, he only fainted once!
He gradually adapted to the pain. If his soul hadn't passed through a black hole, the pain would have been enough to kill him. It was only because his soul was strong enough that he managed to endure the hellish ten days.
On the eleventh day, the pain in his mind disappeared.
A long spear formed from elemental energy had finally completely fused into his spiritual sea!
"It's time! Damn it, this kind of pain isn't something that humans can endure. Fortunately, I've finally made it through!
"However, it's all worth it. Once my Nascent Soul is born, it'll be equipped with a weapon. It'll have a huge advantage against other Nascent Souls."
His clothes were wet and dry, then wet and dry again. Lin Zhen trembled as he picked up a bottle of spiritual power medicine from the table and drank it all in one gulp!
The powerful medicine rushed into his mind and entered his spiritual power mass!
A life aura rose in his spiritual sea. Lin Zhen felt that a young life was about to be born.
"The second bottle!"
He picked up the second bottle of medicine and drank it again. The life aura finally became clearer.
Lin Zhen didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the medicine on the table that had been prepared beforehand and drank it one after another. Streams of life aura continuously cleansed Lin Zhen's spiritual sea.
When he drank the tenth bottle of medicine, the life aura finally stopped increasing. It was full.
Lin Zhen stopped drinking the medicine and began to focus on cultivating and waiting.
At that moment, his spiritual sea was like an egg. In the center of the egg, an embryo was slowly taking shape. The Emerald Ray level spiritual power began to continuously enter the embryo to nurture life.
Gradually, the Emerald Ray level spiritual power began to decline and turned into a sky-blue color.
From sky-blue, it fell to diamond, and then to dark gold.
The dark gold color dropped further, turning into gold, and then silver.
When it turned bronze, Lin Zhen's embryo was about to take shape and form a Nascent Soul.
Finally, the bronze spiritual power disappeared. The spiritual power became the nourishment for nurturing the Nascent Soul. In the end, it turned into a transparent white color. This was the initial state of spiritual power.
Time passed day by day during this process. In the blink of an eye, ten months had passed!
Nurturing the Nascent Soul was not an easy task. Spiritual power was the nourishment. This was a very important step for a warrior. It would usually take ten months to nurture a Nascent Soul successfully.
After ten months of bitter cultivation, Lin Zhen's body was already in a state of extreme exhaustion. However, his spiritual power was abnormally excited.
When the tenth month arrived, the last trace of the bronze aura in his spiritual sea disappeared.
The embryo in his spiritual sea finally broke out of its cocoon at that moment!
A crack finally appeared in the egg-shaped spiritual power mass.
Using his spiritual power to probe, Lin Zhen could clearly see a fair, chubby little boy sitting in the center of the egg with a seven-colored spear in his arms. He slowly opened his eyes.
