Early Nascent Soul
In the space, Jiuhun was lying down and taking a nap with his eyes half-closed. Sensing Zhong Ling's arrival, he immediately stood up, ran over and rubbed the corner of Zhong Ling's clothes, making a snoring sound in his throat.
Zhong Ling stroked it and whispered, "I'm going to go into a state of retreat and strive for the Nascent Soul stage. This time may take a long time, so you keep watch for me."
Jiuhun growled in agreement, then stepped back a distance and crouched down to guard Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling said no more and sat down under the World Tree.
Time passed quickly in the space, and half a year had passed in the outside world.
"Crack..."
A shattering sound was heard from Zhong Ling's dantian, followed by a severe pain.
But apart from the sweat oozing out of the severe pain, there was no trace of panic on Zhong Ling's face.
"break!"
With a thought, she actively guided her spiritual power and slammed it hard into the broken golden elixir!
boom--!
Golden elixir, broken!
A hundred meters away, Jiuhun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his huge pupils and let out a low growl in anxiety.
But it didn't dare to move. Zhong Ling had warned it before going into seclusion that no matter what happened, it must not get close.
The fragments of the golden elixir in the dantian were pulled, slowly rotating, converging towards the center point, compressing, and reorganizing.
Then, the outline of a human figure gradually became clear.
It was a little man about three inches tall, with facial features and body shape exactly like Zhong Ling himself.
It had its eyes closed, its small body sitting cross-legged with a peaceful expression.
Nascent Soul!
Done!
The moment the Nascent Soul was formed, Zhong Ling's aura of decline began to reverse and rise steadily.
The spiritual energy in the entire space poured into her body and was absorbed and refined by her Nascent Soul.
Jiuhun finally felt relieved and stood quietly aside.
A large mass of dark clouds gathered in the originally clear sky, and purple electric snakes moved wildly, instantly locking onto Zhong Ling.
The thunder tribulation is coming!
Zhong Ling slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the calamity cloud with a calm expression.
"Stay here and don't move." She said to Jiuhun, then slowly stood up.
Zhong Ling's white clothes rustled in the wind. She came to the open space, waiting for the thunder to come.
“Boom!”
The calamity clouds rolled and after brewing for a long time, the first thunder finally struck!
A purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket tore through the sky and headed straight for Zhong Ling!
Jiuhun was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing.
Zhong Ling didn't even blink.
In a flash, the lightning struck her, and purple electric snakes moved around her body, making a "sizzling" sound.
Zhong Ling's figure just swayed slightly, and the ground beneath her feet cracked, but she herself was unharmed except for her hair being a little messy.
The Nascent Soul in the body became more solid under the tempering of the power of thunder and lightning.
As if angered by her contemptuous attitude, the calamity clouds in the sky rolled even more violently.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The next few thunder tribulations struck down one after another, each one thicker than the last!
Zhong Ling remained calm and resisted with her body.
It was not until the tenth thunder tribulation fell that Zhong Ling frowned slightly.
The tenth thunder tribulation contained a trace of annihilation power specifically targeting the soul!
“Just in time!”
Zhong Ling's mind moved, and the little Nascent Soul figure in his Dantian actually opened his eyes.
The thunderbolt fell, and at the moment when it was about to touch Zhong Ling's body, it was swallowed up by the Nascent Soul in the Dantian!
The little Yuanying figure burped with satisfaction.
Jiuhun, who was far away, was stunned, his pupils filled with disbelief.
Can we still play like this?
Treating thunder tribulation as a snack? You are indeed the master!
Next...
Eleventh, swallow!
The twelfth one, swallow!
…
Seventeenth, swallow!
No matter how the power of the thunder tribulation increased, Zhong Ling absorbed it all. Her Nascent Soul was like a bottomless pit, accepting everything that came. Her cultivation was also stabilized at the early stage of the Nascent Soul as it devoured the energy.
The calamity clouds in the sky seemed to be confused as well, and then they gathered madly, gathering all their strength together.
The entire sky darkened, with only a golden light shining in the center of the calamity cloud.
That was golden thunder! It contained the destructive power of the origin of the Heavenly Dao!
The eighteenth thunder tribulation falls!
This time, Zhong Ling's expression finally became serious.
The Nascent Soul in her Dantian transformed into a stream of light and appeared above her head, facing the golden lightning without dodging or avoiding it.
The body of the Nascent Soul is covered with a protective shell, which is the power of will that Zhong Ling absorbs on a daily basis.
“Crack!”
The golden lightning struck the Nascent Soul, shattering into pieces and turning into the original power, which was completely absorbed by the Nascent Soul.
The figure of the Nascent Soul figure shook slightly, then he smiled towards the sky, looking very much like Zhong Ling himself, and then returned to his Dantian contentedly.
Above the sky, the calamity clouds rolled unwillingly for a few times, and finally slowly dispersed.
Zhong Ling slowly exhaled, feeling the spiritual power filling her body.
In the early stage of Nascent Soul stage, it was accomplished.
She changed into new clothes on a whim, and her whole body became more restrained, as if she had returned to nature.
Seeing this, Jiuhun ran over excitedly and circled around Zhong Ling.
"Okay, the retreat is over." Zhong Ling patted its furry head and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
"I don't know what's going on outside."
“Roar.”
A low growl interrupted Zhong Ling's thoughts.
Jiuhun was rubbing his head against Zhong Ling, his pupils full of resentment.
Its bones have rusted from being in space, and it wants to get out too.
Zhong Ling laughed, reached out and scratched its furry chin, and said soothingly: "Okay, I know you're bored. Just shrink your body and I'll take you out for some fresh air."
Jiuhun suddenly became excited, and its huge tail kept swinging behind it. Then it shrank its body to the size of a cat and waited obediently for Zhong Ling to take it out.
With a change of mind, Zhong Ling brought Jiuhun back to reality.
She took out her cell phone, but the screen was completely black, and the battery had long been dead.
Zhong Ling found a charger, charged the phone, turned it on, and the screen lit up. Then, a series of messages and missed call alerts rang out.
Most of them come from Qiao Jianmin.
Zhong Ling glanced at the date and realized that half a year had passed in the real world.
Instead of rushing to return the call, she opened her browser to see what had happened during that time.
The word "Jiuzhou" is everywhere on the Internet.
[Explosive! "Jiuzhou Project" releases its first holographic experience device "Tianshu Generation 1", and the 100,000 pre-sale quotas sold out in a second!]
Leaked beta video for "Jiuzhou Xuanjing" (99.99% authentic)! Players flying with swords are driving global netizens crazy!
Gao Fei made his first public appearance, moved to tears: "We didn't create a miracle, we simply brought the future bestowed by the Zhong God into reality."
Zhong Ling clicked on a video, which was a press conference. Volunteers put on holographic headbands and entered the game with expressions of surprise on their faces.
On the big screen nearby, the world they were in was being broadcast in real time: towering mountains, various spiritual beasts and plants, and people flying on swords.
Gao Fei stood aside and explained to the people in the audience.
