The black and white lights intertwined, and the periphery was surrounded by rich colorful spiritual light. The two sides complemented each other and were inseparable.

Shen Lian remained in this mysterious state for more than half a year.

"call!"

On this day, he woke up from silence, opened his mouth, and the black and white light surrounding his body turned into a torrent and was swallowed into his mouth.

At this moment, the magic power in the body is round and the black and white energies are balanced.

A flash of light appeared in front of him, and a number of jade slips with martial arts techniques engraved on them appeared in front of him. Among them, the one engraved with "Five Qis Converging to the Origin" flew close to Shen Lian.

He had compared the contents of the jade slip before, and the contents before the Nascent Soul stage were exactly the same, so Heiya was not causing any trouble.

In addition, the "Five Elements Heavenly Treasure Sutra" was also compared, and there were no problems with the content.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lian put the jade slip away temporarily. It would not be too late to practice the Nascent Soul level skills after he had passed the Nascent Soul tribulation.

Then, a ray of spiritual light shone from his body and fell in front of Shen Lian, transforming into a spiritual herb with a blue-purple halo all over and nine round leaves.

On the leaves of the spiritual herb, a round pattern like a yin-yang fish is outlined.

Tianxin Zen Grass is a medicinal herb that is four thousand years old.

This spiritual herb can be used to refine the fourth-level lower-grade Tianxin Zen elixir, the main function of this elixir is to stabilize the mind.

Unlike the Jindan tribulation, if one is unlucky in the Yuanying tribulation, one will encounter external demons.

If one fails to keep his mind focused, the external demon will take away his body.

However, whether or not one can encounter external demons varies from person to person. Some cultivators will not encounter them, while some who are unlucky will encounter them.

A four thousand year old spiritual medicine can only exert its best medicinal power if it can be refined into a elixir, but Shen Lian only has the main medicine and dozens of other auxiliary medicines are needed.

Given the nature of the current Tiannan cultivation world, it might not be easy to collect all these auxiliary medicines.

Otherwise, he would have to upgrade his alchemy skills first and then refine the Tianxin Zen elixir.

Fortunately, there is no problem in eating the elixir raw.

Shen Lian looked embarrassed when he thought that a great alchemist had to eat elixirs raw.

“This is ridiculous!”

With a nasal snort, he placed the Tianxin Zen Grass in front of him. Regardless of whether he would encounter external demons or not, it was better to prepare in advance.

In addition to the Tianxin Zen Grass, the last piece of non-toxic Tianwu Fairy Tea was also taken out and prepared by hand.

Although it is no longer possible to increase soul power, this tea can help keep the soul clear.

After recalling Dahei and asking about safety issues, Shen Lian stood up and relaxed. Everything is ready, let's start.

…

One month later.

Shen Lian's body was enveloped in colorful spiritual light, with a black and white beam of light floating above his head. His entire aura became like a rolling volcano.

Outside of his body, a spirit gathering array constructed with top-grade spirit stones transformed an area of ​​several feet into a spiritual domain comparable to a fourth-level spirit vein.

Being in a place rich in spiritual energy, his magic power and soul were elevated to the peak of perfection.

In the Dantian sea.

The vast magical power rolled in the Dantian and began to circulate rapidly in the meridians, stimulating the body and causing waves of pain.

However, these are not big problems for Shen Lian. His physical body is already at the third level of perfection, so it is very easy for him to withstand these impacts.

He even deliberately sped up the circulation of magic power in his body.

If you want to break the elixir and become an infant, you need to find a node where new life is born from destruction at the moment when the magic power breaks through the golden elixir, so that the golden elixir can be transformed into an infant.

And the golden elixir has been continuously refined for decades, so one can imagine how strong it is. It takes great willpower to break it.

In simple terms, be harder on yourself.

As the magic power circulated faster and faster, every part of the body was also filled with magic power, and even the physical essence, yin and yang and five elements were pressed into the corners of the body, making way for the pill to break through and become an infant.

Under the impact of magic power, some tiny meridians were constantly broken and then quickly healed.

Boom! Suddenly, a spiritual energy vortex appeared above Shen Lian's head, and the spiritual energy gathered in the spirit gathering array was immediately sucked into the vortex.

At this moment, the spiritual energy was like a volcanic eruption, pouring into his body violently, and then through the guidance of the circulation of the meridians, it poured into the sea of ​​​​Dantian and turned into the power to break through the golden elixir.

Later, the vortex phenomenon formed by the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array suddenly rushed out of the cave and caused resonance in the surrounding heaven and earth.

It was also at this moment that fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the golden elixir that was slowly rotating in the Dantian sea.

The dense cracks were like a spider web, and the rolling magic power continuously flowed into the golden elixir through the cracks.

On the surface of the golden elixir, black and white air currents flowed like dragons, shuttling between the cracked golden elixirs.

At this time, the most feared situation is that the cultivator is powerless and the golden elixir cracks but does not break open completely. The cultivator may suffer serious injuries at best and explode at worst.

“Ka-ka-ka!”

At the same time, crackling sounds were heard in the cave. Top-grade spirit stones shattered one by one, and streams of spiritual energy gathered into a vast ocean, converging towards Shen Lian.

…

"Open it for me!"

The magic power rushed into the Dantian sea like a torrent, pouring down on the golden elixir that was full of cracks.

Snap!

In an instant, the five-colored pill collapsed.

In an instant, the five colors that had collapsed turned into black and white light, and began to reassemble the shattered golden elixir.

A halo composed of black and white gases was like a candle flame in a strong wind. No matter how the surging magic power washed away it, it always stood firm on the shattered golden elixir.

Moreover, in the five-colored spiritual light circulating around, wisps of thin black and white aura appeared from time to time and gathered on the broken golden elixir.

Half a month later.

Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes and sensed a ball of black and white light in his dantian.

This ball of black and white spiritual light floated in the center of the colorful Dantian sea, and countless black and white lights bloomed around its body. These lights were like roots connected to the magic power in the Dantian sea.

In the black and white light, there sat a small baby about an inch in size.

This baby is extremely tender, with black and white energy as its body and colorful gauze as its body, exactly like Shen Lian.

This is the Nascent Soul.

However, Nascent Soul's eyes were tightly closed and his face was expressionless, like a stone sculpture without any stone.

The elixir breaks into an infant, which is the first step to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

If you want your Nascent Soul to have spirituality, you need to survive the heavenly tribulation, and only with the feedback of the rules of heaven and earth can the spirituality be born.

It took half a month from breaking the pill to condensing the Nascent Soul. This speed is quite fast. If some cultivators encounter obstacles, they may not be able to complete this step in half a year.

Now that the elixir has been broken and the infant has been formed, the next thing to do is to face the tribulation of thunder.

Shen Lian looked at the Tianxin Zen Grass beside him.

"The external demons vary from person to person. Once you step into the infant-breaking stage, they may come at any time. It is better to be safe. At most, you will just waste a fourth-level spiritual medicine."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he grabbed the elixir from the jade box, opened his mouth, crushed it bit by bit and held it in his mouth.

The slightly bitter elixir juice refreshed his whole body, and even the soul in the sea of ​​​​consciousness became more energetic.

"Okay, now we just have to wait for the heavenly tribulation."

Shen Lian was not sure whether there were external demons or not, as there was no pattern to follow for this thing.

If you really want to be serious, there are only three words to describe it: it depends on a person's character.

As a leader who is determined to contribute to the world and founded the Bu Tian Sect, Shen's character is absolutely excellent.

“Snap!”

Nine days later.

Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, frowned.

Dan has become an infant, but the heavenly calamity has not come!

If there is no heavenly tribulation, it means that the breakthrough has failed and the Nascent Soul in the Dantian is of no use at all.

"wrong."

Even if Shen Lian didn't know anything, he knew that something must have gone wrong.

How come he is in the Nascent Soul stage? God just spared him from being struck by lightning.

In a flash, he appeared on the hill outside the cave.

The sky was clear without a single cloud, and there was not even a hint of thunder.

"Playing with me?"

Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, Shen Lian squinted his eyes and looked around, feeling a little confused.

…

at the same time.

After completing his patrol of the mountain, Dahei looked at the thunderclouds gathering in the sky and was so frightened that he almost fell into the ground.

It's so horrible.

Between heaven and earth, dark clouds rolled, and thunder tore through the dark sky like a dragon.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there was a violent wind, and the sky looked like it was sprayed with ink, and it seemed that the wind was spreading outward.

Under the calamity cloud, the master stared at it blankly, his aura dissipating.

Upon seeing this, Dahei roared desperately, but the master under the calamity cloud could not hear his voice at all. He tried to rush forward many times, but was knocked away by the horrible calamity energy every time.

“Chirp.”

Dahei rushed out from the broken rocks, waving his huge pincers and flew up, but he was blown away again after just a few steps and crashed into the mountains dozens of miles away.

"Master, wake up quickly, the calamity is coming!"

“Chirp.”

"Wow, what shall we do with twenty thousand or three thousand? We are going to become orphaned demon kings."

…

"My little little devil, his methods are quite powerful, he actually blocked my senses."

Shen Lian looked at the clear sky and concluded that he was most likely encountering a calamity of inner demons.

This is a hidden catastrophe in the bottleneck of Nascent Soul, just like a blind box.

"What is my inner demon?"

Thinking about it, Shen Lian felt that his biggest concern was only one, and that was the fear of death.

But how many cultivators in this world are not afraid of death?

Thinking that most of the monks he had killed had their bones turned into ashes and their souls dispersed, they were no longer demons.

As he thought about this, Shen Lian's eyes gradually became blurred, and a rustling sound rang in his ears.

At this moment, the clear sky in his eyes also changed. Calamity clouds began to gather, and the sky within a radius of hundreds of miles was shrouded in a layer of black blood.

Purple lightning and silver light pierced through the dark and bloody sky, illuminating his appearance.

Seeing the calamity approaching, Shen Lian regained his spirits. Was he worrying too much? After a moment, he began to prepare to survive the calamity.

Snap!

The first thunderbolt took three days to develop before it fell from the cracked blood-black thundercloud.

The calamity cloud in the sky turned into a huge sword, with countless lightning flashes entwined on it. In response, Shen Lian flew up into the air, swung his fist and smashed the lightning sword into pieces in mid-air.

Then, the second and third thunder tribulations came as expected.

While Shen Lian was fighting against the thunder tribulation, he was also guarding against the emergence of external demons. The strange phenomenon of this tribulation made him very alert.

The fifth thunder tribulation.

The sixth thunder tribulation.

However, after six thunder tribulations, the thunder between heaven and earth dissipated. Shen Lian, who was struck deep into the earth, felt the pain in his body, and his consciousness fell into the sea of ​​​​Dantian.

Then, the Nascent Soul in the Dantian, which was like a stone before, slowly opened its eyes, and its whole body was glowing with spiritual light.

The Nascent Soul is alive.

In a moment of thought, the Nascent Soul and the true body are synchronized.

This proves that the thunder tribulation is real.

"Congratulations, Master, for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. May you enjoy eternal happiness!"

A black light came from afar, and when the light faded away, Dahei's handsome appearance was revealed.

"A flatterer."

Shen Lian smiled and touched Dahei's black horn.

Dahei didn't take it seriously, instead he rubbed it affectionately.

“Chirp.”

"What's the situation around here? Are there any monks around?"

"Master, don't worry. There is nothing unusual within a radius of ten thousand miles. Shall we leave now?"

As he said that, Dahei rushed off into the distance, "Master, please wait for a moment. I will come right away after I gather my tribesmen."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, watching Dahei go away, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, he hasn't overcome the calamity yet, it's too early to stop now."

Dahei, who was walking away, was suddenly startled.

"Master, what do you mean? Isn't the calamity gone?"

"You have condescended to be my spiritual pet."

As soon as these words were spoken, a cloud of blood smoke swirled around Dahei's body, and the surrounding sky and earth suddenly whistled, and countless blood-black air erupted from everywhere between heaven and earth.

These auras captivated Shen Lian's eyes, causing them to feel extremely painful.

Then, the black smoke rising from the sky turned into a strange figure wearing a blood-stained robe.

This person stood upright like a human, his face was blurry and unclear, and one could only vaguely see a pointed blood-red horn on his head.

"My friend, the road ahead is long and difficult, why don't you follow me and take a shortcut?"

The one-horned demon bowed to Shen Lian from a distance, which was quite elegant.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at the hidden disaster he had opened. This guy's methods were too powerful. He actually constructed such a real illusion.

But the strange thing is that the aura of the foreign demon in front of him is almost the same as his.

A cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage should not have such great power.

As for how he realized it, it's very simple. Dahei has been a scum ant for so many years, and he has never taken back the offspring he released.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian said coldly, "Asshole, you called me master and you still don't change back!"

“Boom!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the blood-black aura from all directions was like a roaring tsunami, creating huge waves and rushing towards Shen Lian.

"This demon sees that you are one of the few cultivators in this world who still has a conscience, so I come to guide you to heaven in one step. How dare you be so presumptuous!"

The external demon spoke, and his voice was mixed with a hint of majesty, like the truth of rules, and it rushed directly into Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness, making his spiritual figure feel painful.

In response, Shen Lian was not polite at all, and his spiritual power was like a sword, directly striking back.

"How dare you resist? Look what this is!"

The next moment, the blood-robed demon stretched out a three-clawed hand, and between the claws there was a bright light, and a talisman flashing with supreme mystery appeared.

There was only one rune flashing on the talisman. However, it seemed to encompass the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and create an infinite order that could not be described in words.

The moment the rune appeared, thunder roared from all directions, and a blood-black aura crawled down like an overwhelming force.

This scene surprised Shen Lian immensely.

This is simply impossible.

How could the order of the operation of heaven and earth be manifested and appear on a token?

The will and power of a world is controlled by living beings. What a joke.

"I am the Heavenly Demon Palace from outside the territory, so why don't you surrender quickly!"
