Cultivation begins with planting techniques

The unusual movement of the starlight in the nine heavens transformed into a long river cascading down, a phenomenon that could be roughly seen in the surrounding area.

In most of the southern border region and the surrounding Yunshui Sea area, countless cultivators subconsciously looked up at the place where the starlight fell, their faces filled with shock.

At this moment, many cultivators from the Southern Frontier realized that Li Ye of Pingyang Mountain had begun to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

"Has it finally started?"

Upon receiving the immediate intelligence from his disciples, Bai Minghua, who was stationed at the Six Desires Sect and had not yet traveled to the four kingdoms, murmured to himself.

He took a few steps out and looked out from the clouds towards the direction of Pingyang Mountain. Although it was almost half of the southern border region away, he could still see some starlight.

Bai Minghua remained calm, his eyes even revealing a hint of anticipation.

Meng Jingde's failure to survive the heavenly tribulation was truly unexpected.

Originally, in their plan, if they could both break through, they might consider joining forces to put pressure on the other four domains, obtain what they needed for cultivation, and plan for their subsequent ascension.

With Meng Jingde dead, Li Ye is now the only one who shares his interests!

Given their already non-conflicting relationship and with the major condition of ascension, reaching an agreement should not be difficult.

However, the prerequisite for this is that Li Ye must successfully advance in his promotion; otherwise, all talk and no action will be meaningless!
Bai Minghua briefly observed the starlight before withdrawing his gaze and returning to the door.

We can't see anything from such a distance, so we'll just wait for the scouts inside to report back.

"Li Ye... don't let me down!"

………………

The brilliant starlight covered the entire sky above Pingyang Mountain. After being condensed by the great array and guided by layers of restrictions, it transformed into a pure pillar of light that completely enveloped Li Ye's body, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop.

With the meteorite crystal as the central element of this array, it not only serves as an aid for guidance but also continuously provides the purest stellar power, further enhancing the effectiveness of the secret technique.

As the method is activated, the power of the stars flows into the body, refining the physical body and magical power, and touching the nascent soul. This is both a refinement and a medium for contacting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This caused Li Ye, who was surrounded by starlight, to constantly resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Li Ye was deeply immersed in the experience.

He has been cultivating the land and practicing spiritual cultivation for many years, and the kinds of spiritual plants he has cultivated are countless. The effects brought about by the various blessings are also amazing.

Therefore, his Nascent Soul foundation was far superior to that of other cultivators of the same level, and he was extremely close to the Deity Transformation state. He also had corresponding attributes to enhance his perception and control of various spiritual energies of heaven and earth.

He already had a considerable advantage in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Baptized by starlight, the nascent soul undergoes an almost immediate transformation, its connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously strengthening.

In this state, the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage is broken almost instantly.

As his magical power surged, even the starlight flowing into him was stirred.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth, continuously condensing and almost transforming into tangible spiritual light, all rushing towards Li Ye.

His body instinctively activated the cultivation technique, but his mind suddenly went dark as he fell into the tribulation of inner demons.

at the same time.

The surge of spiritual energy was suddenly mostly drained away, converging in the sky, obscuring the stars, and transforming into calamity clouds that churned and brewed.

Even though it was not yet fully formed, and was only a faint aura, it caused the entire sect, which had long been moved elsewhere and could only be viewed from afar, to tremble.

It's as if if you're even slightly affected by it, you'll be instantly reduced to ashes and die without a burial place!

"My goodness... Is this the tribulation of spiritual energy for the Nascent Soul stage? If I, Old Niu, were to face this, I'm afraid even a single hit would take away half my life, and another would surely be fatal!"

"Such a terrifying thing is only a baptism for the Nascent Soul stage, and it even requires another tribulation of lightning. It doesn't seem too far-fetched that Meng Jingde was struck dead!"

Standing atop the mountain outside the sect, Old Ox of Green Mountain looked up at the tribulation clouds churning with various spiritual lights, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. He was confident that his bloodline and aptitude were quite good, and that he had also been favored by Li Ye, with excellent conditions for cultivation. He thought he might not be lacking in the ability to even glimpse the Nascent Soul realm.

But watching the heavenly tribulation unfold, he really wasn't sure if he would have the ability to overcome such a terrifying existence.

Can the mountain lord truly survive such a terrifying calamity?

Inside Pingyang Mountain, all the plant and tree spirits were terrified.

Other sect cultivators can be relocated, but those who form part of the foundation of the sect's grand formation cannot leave.

Under the majestic power of Heaven.

Apart from spirits like Qingluo who have already reached the fourth rank and can rely on merging into the great formation to resist and maintain their own form by using the three core spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

All the other plant spirits shrank into their true forms, not daring to reveal themselves in the slightest.

"Son..."

Qingluo looked at the starlight-shrouded mountaintop, a look of worry appearing on her fresh yet alluring face.

As the first spirit plant cultivated by Li Ye to develop spirituality and become a spirit from the Qingluo Grass, she naturally had extremely deep feelings for Li Ye and was almost willing to dedicate everything to him.

However, this tribulation of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator was not something she could interfere with.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, they could only watch from afar and pray in their hearts.

…………

Soon, the tribulation clouds took shape, and as they overlapped, they differentiated into nine colors, each with its own unique and wondrous characteristics.

The aura it exuded was terrifying to the extreme.

The first tribulation cloud changed, suddenly turning the sky crimson, as if a fiery lotus were blooming, with endless flames falling from the sky, seemingly capable of burning everything.

This is the Crimson Lotus Burning Heaven Tribulation!
The divine power of this calamity was far greater than that of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. Many cultivators, even those who only gazed at it from afar, felt as if their bodies were about to be burned, and they all retreated.

If Li Ye had not yet escaped from the tribulation of his inner demons, the Azure Sky Tree Sea Formation of Pingyang Mountain alone might not have been able to withstand him!
The entire mountain of wood will be burned to ashes in an instant!

However, what people didn't expect was.

As the crimson lotus fell amidst the sea of ​​fire, the great formation below surged, and a giant tree suddenly appeared.

Its canopy is lush, with wisps of golden flame flowing among the branches and leaves, rising up and condensing into an illusory golden sun within the canopy.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted a sea of ​​fire, and the flames on the entire tree surged, making the golden sun phantom even more solid.

Even the core red lotus could not escape the tree's absorption and was eventually drawn into it.

Li Ye did not even show up, and the first Heavenly Fire Tribulation was thus dispelled.

The remaining essence of the Heavenly Fire Calamity surged into Li Ye's body, transforming into nourishment.

Not even a trace remained, so that it could be absorbed and transformed by the next heavenly tribulation.

The onlookers were all stunned, wondering when such a divine plum tree had been cultivated.

Such divine power of fire?!
Without any room for respite, the crimson flames dissipated, and the dark, heavy earth-yellow color immediately pressed down.

Layer upon layer of mountains rose from the sky, carrying the power to suppress the profound mystery, and crashed down.

The Earthly Fiend Mountain Calamity descended with overwhelming force, yet it appeared even more powerless in the face of the Wood Element Formation, which had somehow advanced to the fifth rank.

Azure clouds surged among the mountains, emanating streaks of azure spiritual light. Using wood to overcome earth, the giant mountain instantly dissolved, transforming into pure spiritual energy. With a sweep of divine light, this energy flowed into Li Ye's body. (End of Chapter)
