Chapter 569 Chan'er's Nascent Soul Formation: An Unexpected Turn of Events Outside the Chaos
The next day.
Three poles in the sun.
The morning light shone through the window lattice and fell on the thin silk quilt. The two overlapping figures slowly separated, and Xiao Chan'er swayed and struggled to get up.
She said softly, "Go and attend to your business. I really can't go on."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's expression showed slight regret.
Sometimes, being too physically strong isn't all good.
"This Blood Infant Pill is for you."
Tantai Chan was taken aback.
"I?"
"That's right."
The Longevity Blood Infant Pill is a human blood pill that increases the power of the nascent soul. Its main ingredient is the nascent soul of other cultivators. If someone who has just formed their core consumes it, there is a 90% chance that they will explode and die.
Tantai Chan herself only possesses the aptitude of three spiritual roots and her potential is not outstanding. It would be difficult for her to use this item to condense her nascent soul. Her situation is completely different from Dou Zhao's, and they cannot be generalized.
But with Wang Yu by his side, the situation was different.
"You focus on cultivating the alchemical scriptures, and I also have some achievements in this field. I can help you forcibly raise your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, using the power of the breakthrough to cleanse yourself and allow your aptitude to undergo a transformation."
"But that's all there is to it. If you want to break through to a higher level in the future, you can only rely on your own opportunities and destiny."
In other words, her potential is undeniable.
The peak of Core Formation is the limit.
Wang Yu was able to force her growth once, but that was based on his Nascent Soul cultivation level. He couldn't do it a second time, which can be considered a reward for her hard work over the years.
"I……"
Tantai Chan murmured something again, and when she saw the blood-red elixir in her hand, two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
She whispered, "I know you've always been kind to the people around you, but I never expected you to care so much about a toy."
Wang Yu touched her hair.
“Playthings are the most favored; if I don’t like you, why would I play with you?”
Upon hearing this...
The emotion that Tantai Chan had just felt turned into anger, and she playfully punched his chest.
"Then shall I eat it?"
"Don't worry, I'm here."
After tidying up his clothes, Wang Yu took out a set of special magic treasures to resist the lightning tribulation from the Sea Heart Ring and gave them to Tantai Chan.
Then, the power of the primordial spirit is used to protect it.
His divine sense entered Tantai Chan's body, constantly helping her regulate the key points of her breakthrough, guiding her to break through the barrier in the right way, and refining some precious medicines into spiritual liquid.
It is continuously injected into the other party's body. As for the demonic energy required for condensing the infant, it can be directly obtained from the frozen demonic essence in his body. The cultivation technique that Tantai Chan cultivates is called the "Heavenly Cold Snow Jade Technique", which also follows the path of ice.
However, its approach is closer to the Ice Flame Technique.
The breakthrough went very smoothly. With Wang Yu guiding him, everything seemed to be on a fast track, and whatever he needed came to him in just half a day.
The might of Heaven descends, and thunderclouds fill the sky.
A Nascent Soul tribulation began silently. Wang Yu retreated outside the tribulation range. He had made all the necessary preparations, and his success rate in condensing his Nascent Soul was close to 80%.
If he fails, he will have nothing to say.
The commotion attracted a group of his female confidantes. Wang Yu saw them gathered outside the Golden Toad City Lord's mansion, but he didn't really feel anything.
Aside from Tantai Chan and Yu Tangtang, who had very close relationships with him.
Jin Miaoshan was the third person he accepted, but he valued Jin Manlou's resources and strength more; otherwise, she would just be an ordinary sex partner.
Yan Ling is considered a fellow Daoist, but there is no real relationship between them.
As for the Ice Fairy... thinking about it is quite exciting. He quite likes the gentle whispers of the ice queen, which give him a strange and exhilarating feeling of challenging his boss.
Yin Gui and the others simply took a liking to him and were also indebted to him.
The bond truly exists, but it's not as deep as one might imagine. For example, if Wang Yu successfully finds a way to break through the boundary and leave, but there are only two spots available, he can only bring two people with him.
He will only bring Tantai Chan and Yu Tangtang.
If I could only bring one person, it would definitely be Yu Tangtang!
"A Nascent Soul Tribulation? Is Sister Tantai undergoing a tribulation?"
"Um."
Wang Yu stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air and spoke.
"Once she finishes her breakthrough, prepare some ice-attribute or life-giving materials for her to enhance her natal magic weapon."
"oh……"
Kim Myo-sun pouted.
"You didn't come to see me yesterday, didn't you have anything to say to me?"
"The situation is critical, there's no time to deal with these trivial matters."
Wang Yu spoke without any politeness, and then continued.
"With the world on the verge of collapse, are you sure you can hold onto your position as the head of the Tianchi Jin Clan? Do you have any ideas about Wanbaolou?"
"They sent someone over, but I postponed it."
"Very well, I will participate together then and see what solutions your two chambers of commerce can come up with. I will leave Tantai Chan in your care, as I need to go into seclusion for a while, but not for too long."
"clear."
Wang Yu stopped watching and went into seclusion in a secret room. He immediately abolished the part of his cultivation that the Frozen Demon had forcibly infused into his body and began to digest the medicinal power in his body to break through to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage again.
The already widened river channel was once again filled with river water.
It was almost effortless; given a few months, he could complete the process, letting the technique operate on its own while his mind sank into the Demon-Crossing Mantra.
The primordial spirit projected into the Heart Lake space, beginning to search for traces of demonic contamination.
…………
…………
at the same time.
In the Ice Prison Realm's spatial layer, after a long journey of half a year, the Heavenly Demon Lord and others, piloting the Chaotic Pivot Battleship, finally arrived at the edge of the spatial layer.
Further ahead lies the Chaos Layer.
One can already see wisps of chaotic energy, like vines, hanging down like ribbons from the sky, containing the mysteries of the world's origin. This is the chaotic energy!
It can create all things, and it can also destroy all things!
Haoran Sword Master: "This legendary void space, which is said to be able to reverse orientation and cause Nascent Soul cultivators to lose their way, is not so terrifying. I completed it in just half a year."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators turned to look at the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven.
The latter simply shrugged.
"If I hadn't been prepared, why would I have rashly asked you fellow Daoists to abandon everything and head to this Chaos Layer?"
Yes, yes, yes.
Seeing the Sword Master of Haoran fawning over the leader of the demonic path, Venerable Taixu snorted coldly in displeasure. There were not many Nascent Soul cultivators present, and he and the Sword Master were the only two existences of the righteous path.
Including the demonic cultivators Lian Tian, Wu Ji, Di Sha, and Huang Quan, there are a total of six Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Blood Demon Lord did not come. After abducting Fuling and Miaozhen, he lay dormant deep in the Blood Abyss, seemingly also trying to open the Blood Demon Seal. He has been out of contact for a long time.
There were six people, most of whom were their own people.
This left the Heavenly Demon Lord in a slightly unpleasant mood. Aside from the variables brought about by the Blood Demon's interference, the biggest loss was that Wang Yu and the demon race did not come.
Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it a try.
"Fellow Daoist Lian Tian, please tell us how to cross this Chaos Layer. This thing is so powerful that it is extremely difficult to even obtain a wisp of it, let alone cross it with the physical body."
"I know this, don't worry."
As he spoke.
Lian Tian looked at Hao Ran Sword Master and Tai Xu Venerable, and the latter two became uneasy under his gaze, with Tai Xu even frowning.
"That look in your eyes... what exactly are you up to?"
"I?"
Lian Tian shook his head.
"My thoughts have always been simple. It is you people of the Sword Sect who are audacious enough to use the artifacts of the Ancient Demon, Wuji - Tian Shu Protective Spirit Shield!"
Before he left, he refined a living being, the power of the world that would now enable the warship to truly function; the protective spirit shield was just the first step.
This is a measure to prevent the other party from escaping.
Lian Tian's words made Tai Xu feel uneasy, because he realized that the other party's target might not be him, and that his existence was merely... a summoning tool?!
Taixu's pupils contracted as he saw the strangely bewildered Earthly Fiend Venerable reach into his chest and pull out his own steaming hot demonic heart.
The dense black demonic patterns on it exuded an ominous aura. The loss of his heart did not cause the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord any distress; at most, he suffered a slight loss of vital energy.
Then he began to chant the mantra to summon demons.
"Um?"
The ancient demon of life, who had been living a carefree life somewhere, suddenly emerged from the body of the swordsman Haoran. The young man in hemp clothing looked bewildered, as if he had not expected this situation.
"It's a Heavenly Dao Jade?!"
"Oh, you've noticed... Tsk tsk, I don't know whether to praise your boldness or your ingenious idea. You actually dared to refine the life essence of an ancient demon. Aren't you really afraid of being corrupted by demons?"
Venerable Taixu did not ask how the other party knew about the Heavenly Dao Jade. After all, the demonic spies had already taken up positions among the Twelve Sword Masters, so they should know everything they needed to know.
He said.
"The Heavenly Dao Jade is a treasure for enlightenment that was condensed on the body of an ancient demon. More than 10,000 years ago, the founder of the Sword Sect dug out the Heavenly Dao Jade from the sealed land and used it to deduce the fifth-order Nascent Soul cultivation technique."
"So we established our sect here, regarding the ancient demons as a stroke of good fortune. We never expected such a hidden danger. How did you demonic scoundrels find out?"
The young man in hemp clothing (the Ancient Demon of Life) looked completely bewildered.
I created it myself? How come I didn't know that?!
The newly born consciousness within this body was clearly not as cunning as the Frozen Demon's consciousness; it possessed a somewhat intellectually challenged nature and even had very few ancient demon memories.
They act mostly on instinct.
For example, the Haoran Sword became the vessel through which he descended across mountains and rivers. His life essence had been drained, and his primordial spirit had died out. It can be said that he died without knowing why.
"Hmph, how can the wisdom of mortals compare to that of the founder of my Dao of Refining Heaven!"
The goal of the Path of Refining Heaven is to refine ancient demons, obtain power beyond the rules, achieve the Refining Void Realm, and gain the ability to manipulate the universe.
Crossing the chaotic layer using spatial means is no longer difficult.
This grand plan was devised by the Celestial Refining Master.
This generation of Demon Lord has clearly executed the plan exceptionally well, and Venerable Taixu's expression grew even more grim: "So, this whole thing was a deception in the name of the bigger picture from the very beginning?!"
He simply couldn't accept this outcome.
If Lian Tian coveted his cultivation and wanted to refine him, he wouldn't be so furious. The feeling of being toyed with is far more suffocating than the feeling of being weak.
It was as if they were mocking him for being a flawed, artificial person.
His rage caused his aura to surge.
He shouted sternly.
"Lian Tian, have you ever asked the old man if the sword in his hand is sharp enough?!"
"—Earthly Fiend!"
Then, something strange happened.
As the Earthly Fiend once again sacrificed its own lungs and internal organs, Taixu's physical body trembled, and another young man in hemp clothing grew out from behind him, actually summoning a second Ancient Demon of Life.
Even the Demon Lord Wuji was secretly astonished by this strange situation, realizing that the sect leader had indeed guessed correctly.
The already scarce life force is rapidly fading away.
Venerable Taixu could no longer hold his sword steady. His knees buckled and he collapsed onto the warship's deck, turning into a dried-up corpse at a visible speed.
He died without uttering a single word.
A being at the pinnacle of a realm, one of the strongest beings, died a miserable death in an unknown corner, his demise so hasty.
But the ancient demons are such unreasonable beings.
The two young men in hemp clothing looked at each other.
"Who are you?" ×2.
"Why do you look just like me?" ×2.
"I am an ancient demon." ×2.
“If you mimic me again, I’ll kill you!” ×2.
With identical words, the same tone and pace, the two ancient demons completely ignored the existence of Lian Tian and the others.
This situation prompted the Demon Lord Wuji to speak out.
"Sect Master, was this something you expected?"
"certainly."
The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven smiled and nodded, explaining.
"The Ancient Demon of Life is completely different from other Ancient Demons."
"His vitality allows his physical body to proliferate at all times, naturally resulting in clones that are exactly the same as him, even possessing the same consciousness and thought patterns."
Upon hearing this, Wuji exclaimed in surprise.
"Wouldn't that make it difficult to distinguish between primary and secondary tasks?"
"meeting."
Lian Tian slowly approached the ancient demons who were arguing.
"Therefore, each body of the Ancient Demon of Life is both an avatar and the original body. Even if it dies, it doesn't matter. This kind of immortality is completely different from the immortality ability of the Blood Demon, which focuses on recovery and rebirth."
"From the moment he escaped, that enormous and strange life force began to erode the entire Ice Prison Realm, and his figure would appear everywhere."
"It can even extend to other worlds, forming thousands upon thousands of Ancient Demons of Life. Once one of them leaves the Ice Prison Realm, it means that it has been completely freed."
Such a bizarre and powerful ability can only be used for sealing.
I really can't think of a more suitable solution.
Just as the Demon Lord Wuji was marveling at this, the Demon Lord Liantian spoke up: "Gentlemen, please hear me out."
The two young men in hemp clothing turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.
The eerie gaze was truly chilling, and they all pointed at the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord.
"Speak for his sake."
"I invite you two to enter my urn, to merge with me, and to help me break through my current limitations."
The two looked at each other again and laughed at the same time.
"--Can!"
That's all.
It actually offered no resistance and rushed directly into the purplish-red alms bowl that the Heavenly Demon Lord had prepared beforehand, turning into a pool of eerie black blood.
"It's done?"
"It's done!"
"It's that simple? Is this ancient demon of life really that stupid? Or is it that the newly born consciousness isn't intelligent enough?"
"Neither."
Judging from the perspective of an ant will definitely lead to distortion.
Such bizarre beings as the Ancient Demon of Life have lived for countless years, possessing not only immortality but also an uncanny vitality.
His thought process is definitely different from that of a normal person.
The practice of "refining others" has been a personal hobby of demons since the beginning of time. The real challenge lies in the refining process and the subsequent digestion.
otherwise……
The Sword Master of Haoran and Venerable Taixu served as cautionary tales for him, becoming vessels for the descent of the ancient demon.
"Wuji, get ready, send me into the Chaos Layer."
"metropolitan……"
"Just proceed according to the original plan."
First update, second update will be later (o_0)
