Grandpa, times have changed.

Of course, this was also their last chance.

If any of them can reach the Yangwu realm after this, it will prove that the human race is still worth investing in.

But if that still doesn't work...

He will then retract the anchor he has planted and seek out a more suitable and promising individual.

Thinking about it, His gaze suddenly focused on Xu Xing, and a trace of fear flashed in His crystal-clear, seven-colored eyes.

"Mysterious energy..."

Although it was only a very faint wisp.

But that kind of energy that exists in the darkness, manifests in all forms, and originates from all phenomena, is indeed only the mysterious.

Only He disdains to hide Himself.

"Was it a chance encounter, or did we discover something unusual..."

Among the ancestors of the Azure, the one He feared most was Xuan.

After all, Tai is a fool, and he's fighting fiercely with Gu, so he's not worth worrying about.

It was much easier to deal with Gu, since He had leverage over him and posed no threat.

The only thing that made Him uncertain was the mystery.

Although Xuan is free-spirited and undisciplined, his combat strength is indeed superior to the three top-tier fighters.

Once He notices something...

That's more than just a simple "trouble".

With a thought that flashed through his mind, he disappeared behind the sky, his crystal-clear, seven-colored eyes gradually fading away.

……

……

Two more days passed.

During this period, Xu Xing and the others remained in the settlement.

only……

The situation is really not very good.

His vital energy fluctuated wildly, sometimes as bright and blazing as the sun high in the sky, and sometimes as weak and flickering as a candle about to go out.

Over the years, the group had traveled all over the country and had seen many cultivators from other races, including the Cang Clan, advance to the level of Yangwu.

But there has never been a situation like his.

I couldn't help but feel worried.

Finally, on the night of the third day.

The sky had completely darkened, dark clouds obscured the night sky, the full moon was gone, and the stars had disappeared.

Xu Xing and the others, along with everyone else from the settlement, arrived at the tower.

Looking at the primordial fire that blazed like a flowing flame, illuminating the night sky and dispelling the dark clouds.

As the saying goes, "Concentrate the One to reveal my method, forge the spirit and refine the primordial embryo."

When a cultivator refines the primordial embryo, that is, the fetus of the primordial spirit, to the state of ultimate yang and purity, he can merge the spirit with the form and achieve the transformation into the 'primordial spirit'.

Once the primordial spirit is perfected, one can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to nourish one's spirit.

Equivalent to the later deities.

Those who cultivate in the realm of self-cultivation are light and agile when scattered, and profound and weighty when gathered, ethereal and pure.

Flexible and versatile, with endless applications!

It possesses both the wondrous ability to gather and disperse impermanently, and the power to move heaven and earth, and to shift mountains and drain seas.

Only the supernatural powers used during this period can truly be called 'supernatural powers,' possessing all sorts of incredible and wondrous uses.

"Is this... a success?" Bie Xuening looked at Xu Xing.

In her perception, the primordial fire emanating from the tower at this moment had indeed reached the state of ultimate purity and yang.

but……

But it was too intense.

There's an uncontrollable tendency for it to erupt.

Yuan, Kui, Hua, and even the others in the settlement all looked at Xu Xing.

Although they weren't familiar with each other, after spending the last few days together, the people in the settlement learned that they had returned from a more prosperous region.

Among them, Xu Xing was implicitly considered the leader...

"..."

Xu Xing did not answer, but looked at the raging fire of his primordial spirit with a solemn expression.

Seeing his reaction, everyone's hearts sank.

suddenly!

The already intensely burning primordial spirit fire suddenly surged even higher!
Boom! Pale golden flames rose, and the scorching heat dispersed the dark clouds that covered the sky, revealing the full moon and stars behind them.

For a moment, Xu Xing and Hong subconsciously exchanged a glance.

With a flash, he rushed directly into the tower.

Everyone was taken aback, but they also quickly followed.

……

……

The heat was intense.

Then, the blazing fire of the primordial spirit filled every inch of space inside the tower.

Light!
Looking around, all I could see was blinding light!
The surrounding black rocks showed signs of melting, and in the very center of the pale golden flames, a figure sat quietly.

His long hair had been dyed a brilliant gold color.

His entire body was made of pure white robes formed from the fire of his primordial spirit, with light and flame seeping from every pore of his body.

His pupils, like his hair, had been completely dyed a brilliant gold.

It's like a deity sitting enthroned in divine fire, commanding all flames...

Call ~
Flames swirled and two figures burst in.

The blazing fire of their primordial spirit burned fiercely, yet it could not shake the thin barrier of magical power surrounding them.

"senior!"

Xu Xing moved like an arrow, arriving beside Yi before Yi even noticed him.

A dark blue crystal, radiating a chilling aura, appeared in his hand.

With a wisp of magic power injected.

Click~
With a crisp sound, the entire crystal shattered, transforming into a wave of eerie blue cold air that spread outwards.

A bone-chilling wind seemed to sweep through the tower.

The originally blazing fire of the primordial spirit paused, and even showed signs of being suppressed...

However, this situation only lasted for a brief moment.

Bear!
The rising flames dispelled the bone-chilling cold wind.

"It's no use." Yi smiled helplessly.

Xu Xing acted too quickly, so much so that he didn't even have time to speak up and stop him.

From the moment he realized something was wrong, yet still chose to break through, he had already foreseen his fate.

Such a precious treasure should not be wasted on a dying man like him.

"Master!"

At this moment, Hua also rushed over with the others behind him.

A chilling blue crystal also appeared in his hand.

But Yi, quick-witted and agile, pressed it back down.

"Time is running out," he said quickly. "Remember my current state. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to break through Yangwu's barrier later."

With each word he spoke, pale golden flames of his primordial spirit emanated from his mouth and nose.

But his vital energy did not weaken at all; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

He failed, but he also succeeded.

He is indeed at the Nourishing Self Realm now, and he is the strongest early stage Nourishing Self Realm cultivator in history.

His body, mind, and magical power—everything—became fuel for the flames of his primordial spirit, thus he grew stronger every second, but also drew ever closer to death.

"Master—!"

Hua was unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

"Don't waste time!" Yi said sternly.

Flames rose again in his eyes, and the scorching energy transformed into heavy pressure.

Do you want my death to be meaningless?

Hua Yidai.

In the end, he clenched his fist and slowly sat down.

Yes!
Only at this moment did he have to suppress all his emotions, so as not to betray the opportunity that his master had found at the cost of his life.

And so, in this oppressive atmosphere, everyone who had broken into the tower sat down.

Seeing everyone's actions, Yi's expression returned to calm, and his flesh and blood became increasingly translucent under the burning of the primordial spirit fire.

Pale golden flames filled his internal organs, and his bones were forged into something like crystal, lustrous, translucent, and radiant.

Meanwhile, behind the celestial curtain.

The pair of seven-colored, crystal-clear eyes reappeared. (End of Chapter)
