The road is vague

Chapter 436 Promotion to Nascent Soul
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

The disciples on Qingming Mountain are living their lives as usual, following the established routine.

suddenly!

An astonishing spiritual pressure enveloped the entire Qingming Mountain and the surrounding back mountain. Countless low-level disciples were horrified and looked up at the sky, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"what happened!"

"Why would such a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupt from the mountain? Could it be that some Nascent Soul Grand Ancestor has achieved great success in cultivating supernatural powers?"

Even the spirit birds on the Qingling Divine Tree soared into the sky with this spiritual pressure, flying around the main peak of Qingming incessantly, as if a storm was brewing.

In comparison.

The Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators in the sect emerged from their caves, their expressions filled with astonishment.

"Is someone in the sect trying to advance to the Nascent Soul stage again?"

"I haven't heard of anyone attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm recently. Could it be that Uncle-Master Ye Shoutian is preparing for his second advancement?"

"It's probably unlikely. Uncle Ye Shoutian failed his first advancement, and this will be his last chance. Unless he gets a tremendous opportunity in the short term, he probably won't try it easily..."

As everyone was talking, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles continued to gather, transforming into visible spiritual clouds, forming a huge vortex centered on Qingming Mountain.

And as time went by, the area of ​​Lingyun grew larger and larger.

The lower-level disciples, who had initially felt uncomfortable, gradually became immersed in the wonderful nourishment brought by the magnificent spiritual cloud. Some disciples even broke through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining stage on the spot, and were overjoyed.

About an hour passed.

The vortex of spiritual clouds has expanded and spread to a radius of hundreds of miles. The original clear sky has been completely replaced by lightning and thunder. Two-colored lightning is constantly flashing in the spiritual clouds, faintly merging the wisdom of the most intelligent beings who are good at using tools with the dreamlike light of constantly striving for dreams and creating miracles.

"Then, what is that!"

Within the thunderclouds, the crowd suddenly saw a small sun, from which seemed to emanate the roar of a dragon, revealing the intent of the Lingzhao Sword.

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing this strange phenomenon, they suddenly saw countless rays of blood converging, seemingly forming a giant spider web that covered the spiritual cloud area. Upon closer inspection, these so-called spider webs were actually countless swaying, eerie, and evil grasses, exuding a strong sense of filth.

"Sect Leader, Lu Qi's disciple is truly extraordinary."

Master Qian Jing, gazing at this extraordinary phenomenon, couldn't help but speak.

"Not to mention that he is a cultivation prodigy of our sect, after all, he has been living overseas for nearly sixty years. During this time, he must have had a great opportunity to dare to return to Daqian with the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage and make such a great name in Yuancheng."

"Black Dog Monster? Hmph."

Qian Jing shook his head and smiled.

"I'm afraid that when he is mentioned again in the future, no one will care about his Taoist name anymore. He may not even realize that the title of Black Dog Monster will probably accompany him for the rest of his life."

While the two were talking.

Muran!

Above the vortex of spirit clouds, a phantom of a colossal mountain suddenly appeared, seemingly even larger than Qingming Mountain. This was followed by an endless expanse of desolate land, which instantly stretched to the horizon, extending beyond the reach of the spirit clouds.

Qian Jing was speechless.

"This, this... the extraordinary phenomena that Junior Brother Li has presented are far too exaggerated!"

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he knew what these strange phenomena of heaven and earth represented.

The strange phenomena of heaven and earth are closely related to the cultivator's understanding of order. The more bizarre and exaggerated they are, the stronger the cultivator will be after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, and the higher the chance of advancement.

He clearly remembered the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when he advanced to the next level. Although they were also remarkable, they were nothing compared to this. In comparison, they were like fireflies and the moon, utterly insignificant.

"Yes."

The Master Danqing stroked his beard, revealing a solemn and thoughtful expression.

"Such a celestial phenomenon is probably not recorded in any of our sect's records, let alone in the entire history of the Great Qian Kingdom."

Immediately afterwards, the sect leader couldn't help but smile excitedly.

"It seems the rise of our sect rests entirely on this junior brother! My advancement to the Nascent Soul stage almost exhausted my luck, and I will likely have little chance of achieving anything in cultivation in the future. You and Junior Brother Lu have more talent than me, and you will likely be able to advance further in the future. Not to mention advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, you might even have the possibility of glimpsing the late-Nascent Soul stage. But this Junior Brother Li... hehe, even if he is at the legendary Divine Transformation stage, this Junior Brother Li will probably have a considerable chance in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jing was first speechless with astonishment.

But then, after witnessing such an astonishing celestial phenomenon, he couldn't help but sigh and express his agreement.

hum!
The vortex of spiritual clouds resembled a giant funnel, gradually plunging down.

"This Junior Brother Li is far too impatient!"

Upon seeing this, Qian Jing couldn't help but sigh, revealing a look of worry.

"His extraordinary phenomena are so astonishing, and the scale of his spiritual clouds far surpasses that of us. Once he achieves unity with heaven and man, his magical power and order will undoubtedly be extraordinary. However, this also means that the difficulty of his advancement will be far greater than that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. The difficulty of advancement is not comparable to that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. He should prepare himself well to gain a greater chance of success... Alas!"

Qian Jing had barely finished speaking, and before Danqing Zhenren could even open his mouth, the funnel-shaped spiritual cloud, which had been slowly descending, seemed to be pulled by an astonishing force, its speed suddenly increasing several times, heading straight for Xiaoquan Peak in the back mountain.

"This this……"

Upon seeing this, Qian Jing was so shocked that he was speechless.

Even the Danqing Master standing to the side was dumbfounded; this was simply too unbelievable.

What others faced immense difficulties and obstacles in the Nascent Soul stage was as easy as taking candy from a baby for this Junior Brother Li, who forcefully dominated the entire advancement process.

The lower-level cultivators noticed that the center of the spiritual eye vortex was the secluded Xiaoquan Peak in the back mountain. There was only a Golden Core senior uncle named Li Mo on the mountain, who was a true disciple of their sect. They immediately spread the news.

Deep in the cave.

Li Mo, protected by layers of arrays and puppets, had several empty bottles in front of him.

The True Essence Pill emitted a continuous stream of vital energy within its body, strengthening its physical vitality. At the same time, the Jade Marrow Liquid, following the sect's secret techniques, was applied to its entire body in combination with several other spiritual liquids, forming a temporary Jade Marrow Spiritual Body. The five high-grade spirit stones of different attributes around it, under the power of the array, continuously extracted astonishing spiritual light, increasing the spiritual energy density of the entire cave several times over...

Ong!
As the funnel-shaped spiritual cloud descended and merged with Li Mo's spirit, the spiritual energy within the entire cave rapidly transformed into a sea of ​​lightning.

"Run!"

"Squeak!"

The old man and Xiao Zhi, who were observing, hurriedly burrowed underground.

Li Mo's body trembled slightly. He took out the Seven-Leaf Cleansing Grass, swallowed it, and then closed his eyes again, immersing himself in his inner demons. "Li Mo, you beast!!"

Chen Lan's image suddenly appeared before Li Mo's eyes.

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Li Mo, her teeth clenched, her voice filled with anguish.

“I treated you so well, and this is how you treat me. I shouldn’t have raised you in the first place. I let you become a scourge to our sect. I’m sorry to the Chen family, I’m sorry to our sect. I was wrong…”

After a brief period of pain and confusion, Li Mo regained a sliver of clarity as a wisp of green leaf slowly drifted down, and his eyes returned to calm.

He looked quietly at Chen Lan, who was in front of him, who was in a state of hysteria.

“Senior Sister Chen, now our sect has not only escaped its precarious and potentially destroyed state, but has also produced four Nascent Soul cultivators. In the future, under my leadership, our sect will surely become stronger. You were indeed wrong, but your mistake was not in nurturing me, but in losing your trust in me. You can rest in peace now.”

After a brief moment of stiffness, Chen Lan dissipated into countless fluorescent fragments.

Then the scene before Li Mo changed again.

"Li Mo, I'm so lonely trapped inside this bronze golem. Will you come and keep me company? Let's become puppet beings together, so we can be together forever. Waaah."

It turned out that Lü Cuicui, who had been transformed into a bronze golem, was crying and pleading with Li Mo.

Although she kept making gestures as if wiping away tears, she couldn't shed a single tear.

Another green leaf slowly drifted down.

A sliver of clarity returned to Li Mo's eyes as he realized he was experiencing inner demons, much like suddenly realizing he was dreaming and recalling certain logic and rules from reality.

"Even a puppet's body has an end to its lifespan. Besides, you once said that the most beautiful memories are not about eternal intimacy, but about a fleeting moment of glory."

As Lü Cuicui vanished into specks of fluorescent light, in that instant, with the help of the Cleansing Grass, Li Mo seemed to vaguely see a twisted, tusked pig face, manipulating order from behind the scenes with an evil grin.

He suddenly felt a jolt, realizing that the so-called inner demon was nothing more than another version of himself.

However, the other party is on the side of evil spirits, and is putting many obstacles in the way of humanity.

I do not know how long it has been.

For Li Mo, it was an incredibly long time, but for the outside world, it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

Wow……

As a baby's cry echoed across Xiaoquan Peak, the thunder within the cave quickly dissipated. Niu Wan, who had been waiting outside the cave for a long time, finally relaxed completely, knelt down with a thud, and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

"master!"

Seven years ago, Li Mo had already formally accepted him as his eldest disciple.

Inside the cave, Li Mo stared blankly at his Nascent Soul form.

The pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously gathered, forming this nascent soul body. He was curious for a moment, circling his physical body for a while, and then sat cross-legged on the top of his body, closing his eyes to carefully comprehend it.

In a mere instant, it felt as if an insurmountable chasm had been crossed.

His magical power increased by five or six times almost out of thin air.

Any magical power or supernatural ability is almost equivalent to increasing its power two or three times out of thin air. The understanding of the dualistic chaotic thunder order is also significantly deepened. It is realized that compared to continuing to embed the order in various places, it is more essential to comprehend the tri-dimensional and quadri-dimensional chaotic thunder order as soon as possible.

At the same time, Li Mo's lifespan has reached a thousand years, and he is now almost like a newborn baby.

Besides.

His divine sense almost instantly enveloped the entire Qingming Mountain and the surrounding back mountain area. His True Spirit Eye was able to vaguely see the form and direction of some order, and glimpse some of the general trend of heaven and earth.

"Is this the Nascent Soul realm?"

Li Mo, in his Nascent Soul form, opened his eyes again.

He stared in disbelief at his tiny hands and feet, while at the same time he could clearly feel the true terror of a Nascent Soul cultivator: possession!

Based on the order they control, they devour souls and seize the bodies of others through the power of the Nascent Soul, which is almost equivalent to giving Nascent Soul cultivators a second life.

However, such heaven-defying and fate-altering supernatural powers are matters of life and death and should never be used lightly.

Firstly, in a battle of spirits and souls, even if one wins, one will inevitably be tainted in some way.

Secondly, changing one's physical body is tantamount to indefinitely stealing one's personality and identity. Even if the power of order continuously modifies it, it will inevitably involve the secrets of heaven, making it difficult to make any progress in cultivation in the future.

"Amazing……"

After muttering to himself, Li Mo, in his Nascent Soul form, suddenly realized that his control over the Misty Box had significantly improved. Not only was the range of control wider, but he also realized that the Year within the Misty Box was the sun of the Misty Box and the secret of the Misty Box.

As the saying goes, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.

Now that he has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to initially borrow some of the power of the Mysterious Box to form a domain characteristic.

I do not know how long it has been.

The ethereal voices of the Danqing Master and the Secret Talisman Master could be heard from afar.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Li on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage and becoming a Nascent Soul Grand Elder of our sect!"

Li Mo came to his senses, and after his nascent soul smiled slightly, it returned to his body. As his physical body opened its eyes, they burst forth with astonishing lightning, especially his mysterious silver left eye, which seemed to twinkle like countless stars, shining brightly.

He vanished in a flash, flying out of the cave and looking at the two people smiling in the air.

"Greetings, senior brothers! Congratulations to you both!"

Danqing Zhenren and Mifu Zhenren smiled and shot out a beam of spiritual light, each presenting a pill that could stabilize the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, as well as a high-grade spiritual talisman, as a congratulatory gift.

"May I ask what your Daoist name is, junior brother?"

Li Mo smiled slightly, but said something that made the two of them change their expressions slightly.

"The Lord of Chaos Thunder".

The Taoist name is closely related to one's own understanding and insights.

It can be said to be the realization achieved after experiencing inner demons during a time of harmony between humanity and nature.

It's unclear what happened to this Junior Brother Li during his time of achieving oneness with heaven and man and undergoing inner demon trials, but he managed to obtain such a domineering Daoist title.
