Rich spiritual energy began to rush toward the Golden Elixir in Lu Qingshan's Dantian.
A tornado formed by spiritual energy quickly appeared in his Dantian, wreaking havoc.
After a few breaths of time, after absorbing a huge amount of pure spiritual energy, Lu Qingshan's nine-patterned Golden Elixir began to expand rapidly.
On the Golden Elixir, the nine purple-gold patterns flickered with a dazzling and noble light.
"Daoist Scripture leveled up to Lv. 16, spiritual energy value + 1000!"
"Your spiritual energy value has exceeded 20000. Talent [Spiritual Energy Metamorphosis] (Elementary) leveled up to [Spiritual Energy Metamorphosis] (Intermediate)!"
[Spiritual Energy Metamorphosis] (Intermediate): As your cultivation base increases, your control over spiritual energy will become more exquisite, and its power will become more powerful. Spiritual energy increase by 50%.
"Your rank has leveled up to the Golden Elixir. Divine Sense + 50!"
"Daoist Scripture leveled up to Lv. 17, spiritual energy value + 1000!"
.....
"Daoist Scripture leveled up to Lv. 20, spiritual energy value + 1000!"
"Daoist Scripture (Golden Elixir) has been leveled up to the highest level. Additional spiritual energy value + 10000."
"Daoist Scripture (Golden Elixir) has been leveled up to the highest level. Awakening a Divine Ability. The specific form and power of this Divine Ability will be determined by the cultivator's comprehension of the concept."
"Awakening a Divine Ability …"
At this moment, in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, there was a blood-red edge, a gray cold light, and an indefinite chaotic light that suddenly soared. There was even a little bit of almost invisible spiritual light mixed in.
The spiritual light represented the three concepts that Lu Qingshan had comprehended.
The Slaughter Sword Intent of the Unity Realm, the Nirvana Piercing Sword Intent of the Unity Realm, and the Immortality True Intent of the Weak Realm.
The spiritual light was the incomplete True Intent of Karma.
The three spiritual lights of different colors and shapes quickly intertwined, connecting and fusing with each other.
Immediately after, as they continued to fuse, an extremely profound seal gradually took form. It was obscure and difficult to understand, but it also carried supreme profundities and constantly flowed with dazzling multicolored light.
At this moment, the spiritual light that represented the incomplete true meaning of karma suddenly converged into the seal.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
This bit of spiritual light seemed to have triggered some kind of reaction. The seal began to shake violently, emitting a clear and melodious vibrating sound.
After a short moment, the symbol actually shattered into specks of stars, and it ceaselessly evolved, transformed, and started to reform.
One after another, specks of stars fluttered about in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, transforming into a rain of light that unfolded, undulated, and revealed its profound profundities.
In the end, the star turned into a black fish, bobbing up and down in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness. The scene was astonishing.
This was a true divine ability. It contained supreme profound mysteries and was incomparably profound. It already possessed spirituality to the point of becoming a living creature.
The black fish swam in Lu Qingshan's Sea of Consciousness for a moment, seemingly searching for something.
Finally, the fish found what it was looking for. With a flick of its tail, it suddenly darted out.
It drifted away from Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness and swam towards a place.
Its target was Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"Oh —"
The black fish directly merged into Lu Qingshan's ink-black eyes. Lu Qingshan felt a strange itch in his eyes.
It was like the strange itch when a wound began to heal and new flesh grew.
Yes, in Lu Qingshan's eyes, something was rapidly growing and taking shape.
"The divine ability is about to be born. Please do not interrupt."
"Three, two, one!"
After three breaths, the strange itch in Lu Qingshan's eyes dissipated.
A few lines of small glowing words flickered in time.
"The divine ability you have awakened is the eye technique: Xie Zhi."
"When you see people fight, you will not be upright. When you talk about people, you will not be upright."
"This divine ability has a total of two levels of power."
"The first level, Evil Discernment: Detect the killing intent of other living beings, regardless of whether the living beings have emotional fluctuations.
"The second level, Xie Zhi: Nurture sword intent in the eyes. After activating this eye technique, it will trigger a sword qi to attack the enemy in sight. After hitting the enemy, Xie Zhi will appear and launch an attack on the enemy's Primordial Spirit.
The power of Xie Zhi depends on the user's Primordial Spirit realm. "
"Description: This eye technique consumes a lot of Divine Sense."
"Additional description: This is an eye technique of intent. As the four great intents that make up the eye technique strengthen, Xie Zhi's power will also become stronger with each passing day."
Lu Qingshan was extremely satisfied.
A Daoist Scripture divine ability condensed from the true meaning of Origin and Superior intents was indeed very strong.
Moreover, this was the first Primordial Spirit attack technique that Lu Qingshan had mastered.
"Detected that you have reached the upper limit of your current level. You can choose to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Please choose the difficulty of the Nascent Soul stage advancement (First to Ninth Stage, with the highest being Ninth Stage). Note that the higher the difficulty of the advancement mission, the higher the bonus for the advancement, and the stronger the Nascent Soul formed."
"Choose the Ninth Stage advancement difficulty." Lu Qingshan did not hesitate.
"You have obtained the requirements for the Ninth Stage advancement mission."
"One, the Golden Elixir must be of a nine-patterned Golden Elixir. This is the prerequisite."
"Two, learn a Nascent Soul cultivation technique. The technique must be of the Dao level. This is the prerequisite."
"Three, master the talent [Spiritual Energy Transformation] (Intermediate)."
"Four, reach the middle stage of the Form Consolidation realm in the Primordial Spirit realm. Current stage of the Form Consolidation realm (6551000)."
"Five, kill an enemy of the same level (0/50), kill an enemy of a higher level (0/5)."
"As you have used the divine item, the Origin of the River of Forgetfulness, this divine item can skip the advancement requirements except for the prerequisite. Do you choose to skip?"
The Netherworld Hell Overlord said that the Origin of the River of Forgetfulness could help Lu Qingshan advance to the Nascent Soul stage without any side effects.
"Yes."
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly took out the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual (Nascent Soul section) and probed it with his divine sense.
"Detected the Nascent Soul section of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual. Do you want to learn it?"
Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual (Nascent Soul section)
Level: Dao level
Description: Sword Dao cultivators have Connate Qi. Nascent Soul cultivation techniques are divided into 20 levels.
Cultivation Technique Effect 1: For every level, the upper limit of one's spiritual energy will increase by 10,000 points.
Cultivation Technique Effect 2: Spiritual energy recovery speed + 100%.
Cultivation Technique Effect 3: The spiritual energy cultivated in the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual will have a sharp nature. The sword energy condensed will be more lethal.
Cultivation Technique Effect 4: When the Daoist scripture is cultivated to level 20, the upper limit of one's spiritual energy will increase by 100,000 points.
Cultivation Technique Effect 5: The Nascent Soul condensed from the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual will have an unparalleled affinity with all swords. The Nascent Soul can contain the Natal Sword.
Cultivation Technique Effect 6: The Nascent Soul condensed from the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual can form a sword aperture. The sword aperture can quickly nurture the Natal Sword. One sword aperture can currently be formed.
Cultivation Technique Effect 7: As a Dao level cultivation technique, the experience required to improve the Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual will be 200% of that of ordinary cultivation techniques.
"Learn," Lu Qingshan said firmly.
The spiritual energy transformed from the origin of the River of Forgetfulness was endless, as if there was no end to it.
Lu Qingshan's dantian turned into a Heaven and Earth Furnace, constantly refining the spiritual energy and began to rumble.
The purple-gold patterns on the Purple-Gold Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir became more and more dazzling. Under the continuous infusion of spiritual energy, its body expanded again, and gradually, spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
A sharp light shot out from these cracks.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! Time slowly passed. Lu Qingshan's Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir showed signs of cracking, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
A moment later, the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir shattered and turned into a chaotic spiritual energy vortex.
The shattered outer shell of the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir turned into a purple-gold light and suddenly flickered.
In this spiritual energy vortex, the purple-gold light spread directly in Lu Qingshan's dantian and constantly condensed.
Gradually, a blurry outline appeared in Lu Qingshan's dantian.
The outline was constantly solidifying and becoming clearer.
As the outline was constantly changing, the blood in Lu Qingshan's body began to circulate faster. Blood Qi surged out and shook.
Pure spiritual energy was cleansing and strengthening his physical body, expelling the impurities in his body.
Under the cleansing of these spiritual energies, Lu Qingshan looked more and more elegant and extraordinary. His physical body seemed to have become a piece of jade, crystal clear and emitting divine light.
In his sea of consciousness, there was also a big movement.
The Primordial Spirit that had grown to seven feet and five inches began to transform again, growing inch by inch.
It only completed its transformation when it grew to eight feet and six inches.
The Golden Elixir's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage was a comprehensive advancement. This advancement was not only in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of physical body and Primordial Spirit.
In the Yellow Springs, there was only Death Qi and no spiritual energy.
However, at this moment, the omnipresent Death Qi of the Yellow Springs surrounded Lu Qingshan and formed a vortex of Death Qi that kept surging into Lu Qingshan's body.
After the Death Qi entered Lu Qingshan's body, it underwent a strange transformation and turned into pure spiritual energy.
It was indescribably mysterious.
Lu Qingshan's aura began to rise continuously.
From afar, Lu Qingshan was like a star. His body constantly emitted brilliant starlight.
The starlight was growing stronger and brighter, and more and more resplendent.
When the Yellow Springs Hell Overlord saw Lu Qingshan's state and aura, he could not help but murmur, "Absolute Limitless Nascent Soul, huh …"
The Nascent Soul stage was an important watershed. The transformation of a Golden Elixir into a Nascent Soul was akin to the cultivator's second life.
This kind of advancement would bring about earth-shattering changes to the cultivator.
The quality of the Nascent Soul would determine the magnitude of the changes.
The higher the quality, the greater the changes and benefits to the cultivator.
If a cultivator's cultivation base and combat strength were regarded as a base, the quality of the Nascent Soul would be multiplied.
The higher the multiplier, the greater the combat strength.
The multiplier of the Nascent Soul obtained from the First Rank Advancement would be one, the multiplier of the Second Rank Advancement would be two, and so on.
The Nascent Soul that Lu Qingshan formed from the Ninth Rank Advancement Mission was naturally of the highest quality. It was multiplied by nine, and was known as the Absolute Limitless Nascent Soul.
Due to the difference in the quality of the Nascent Soul, the combat strength of cultivators of the same rank would be vastly different.
Cultivators who formed Nascent Souls below the Third Rank were known as Weak Nascent Souls.
Such cultivators were generally itinerant cultivators or cultivators from small sects. They did not have enough accumulation, their Dao foundation was unstable, and the level of their cultivation techniques was low. They could only barely reach the Nascent Soul stage.
There were also a small number of cultivators who did not have much lifespan left or were not talented enough. They could only rely on Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines to forcefully reach the Nascent Soul stage.
These weak Nascent Soul cultivators had low combat strength and were at the bottom of the Nascent Soul stage. They often needed three or four people to fight against demonic beasts of the same rank.
There were even some powerful Golden Elixir cultivators who could fight against weak Nascent Soul cultivators.
Fourth to Sixth Rank Nascent Souls belonged to cultivators who had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage normally and were known as Mortal Nascent Souls.
This kind of cultivator was rarely defeated by a Golden Elixir Daoist. They could fight against demonic beasts of the same rank on their own.
Seventh Rank Nascent Souls would enter the ranks of the Strong Nascent Souls.
A Seventh Rank Nascent Soul cultivator could easily crush a Weak Nascent Soul cultivator of the same rank.
A Ninth Rank Nascent Soul cultivator could be said to be invincible among the same rank.
There was a clear division of strength between the Strong Nascent Soul, Mortal Nascent Soul, and Weak Nascent Soul cultivators.
If low-level cultivators did not have extremely powerful Dharma Spells or Dharma Artifacts, it was generally impossible for them to fight across ranks.
…
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes. The purplish-gold light in his dantian became more and more intense. The outline formed by the chaotic cyclone became clearer and clearer. In the end …
It condensed into a translucent little person.
The little person's appearance was exactly the same as Lu Qingshan's, except that it was many times smaller.
Its size was 9.9 inches and its body was translucent. However, a strong and terrifying aura emerged from its body.
The little person held the Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom in its hands.
It was like a sword boy.
This was Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul.
Perhaps because it had just been born, the Nascent Soul's eyes were tightly shut, and its expression was somewhat blank.
However, after a few breaths, the Nascent Soul woke up.
The translucent little person's eyes suddenly opened, and an incomparably sharp light shot out from them.
A majestic force erupted from the Nascent Soul in an instant. The cultivation of the Early Nascent Soul Realm instantly filled Lu Qingshan's body and exploded.
At this moment, the light outside his body also soared like never before. The light was dazzling and incomparably bright. It was like the sun, suddenly erupting with tens of thousands of rays of light.
An unprecedented sense of strength spontaneously arose in Lu Qingshan's heart.
The strength of his current aura had already far surpassed that of an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. It was even stronger than a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
However, it was not over yet.
A divine cloud formed by pure and majestic spiritual power gathered towards a certain point on Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul's heart.
The enormous divine cloud continued to pour into this point. It was only when the divine cloud was completely exhausted that the aperture was finally saturated.
Then, a bright light appeared at this point.
At this moment, this aperture seemed to have been divinized. It released a divine cloud of spiritual light, like a bright lamp in the dark night.
This was the sword aperture formed by the Heaven Severing Sword Manual. It could quickly nurture the sword of the Sword of Life.
Lu Qingshan's heart stirred, and the two swords held in the Nascent Soul's hands suddenly flashed.
The blazing red Dragon Sparrow swam into the sword aperture, and the peach blossom entered the Nascent Soul.
Instantly, the sword aperture flashed with spiritual light. It was like a paradise. Wisps of light seeped out, and wisps of spiritual power continuously fell and disappeared into the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Of course, a small portion of spiritual power overflowed and flowed around the Nascent Soul before finally disappearing into the peach blossom.
Lu Qingshan sensed for a moment.
If he didn't spend any time or effort, the Dragon Sparrow in the sword aperture could gain about ninety thousand experience points in a year.
In other words, even if he didn't do anything, the Dragon Sparrow could be upgraded to the next level after eleven years.
Because the peach blossom was not in the sword aperture, the amount of experience points it could gain was much less than that of the Dragon Sparrow. It was only one-third of that of the Dragon Sparrow.
It was like the difference between the main palace and the concubine.
The sword aperture was the main palace.
Several lines of fiery words flashed in front of Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"You have mastered the [Heaven Severing Sword Manual] (Nascent Soul section)!
"You have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!
"You have received the [Extreme Nascent Soul] rank bonus: the Golden Elixir has transformed Yin and Yang into Tai Chi.
Your combat prowess has been increased to nine, and your divine sense has been increased to + 200.
At the same time, every time you advance a small stage in the Nascent Soul stage, your divine sense has been increased to + 100.
"Your talent [Pure Yang Body] has been upgraded to [Mortal Body]!"
[Mortal Body]: You are able to see your true nature and become immortal.
Those who have attained the Nascent Soul stage will be able to regrow their limbs as long as their Nascent Soul remains. At the same time, your lifespan has been extended (two thousand years).
"Because you have refined the divine item, the River of Forgetfulness, you have been acknowledged by the will of the Yellow Springs and received the talent [Spirit Erosion]."
[Spirit Erosion]: The Death Qi of the Yellow Springs will no longer pose a threat to you and will not be able to destroy your vitality.
At the same time, you can absorb the Death Qi of the Yellow Springs and convert it into spiritual power.
"You have received a new Natal Sword slot! Note, the Natal Sword attribute added to this slot must not overlap with the attributes of the existing Natal Sword! "
