I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 513 The Difficulty of Nascent Soul Formation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Yi! You're awake~"

"Lord."

The transformed Flower Maiden dropped the Heart-Piercing Mirror and flew to Jiang Yi like the wind, tilting her head and circling around her, looking her up and down with a big smile.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror fell into the grass, its golden light flickering weakly twice before finally extinguishing.

Zhenshan and Duanjin also stood up and respectfully paid their respects.

Zhaoming nodded, holding the edge of his straw hat. Flames erupted from the Yaoling Sword, transforming into a small fire phoenix that stretched its neck and cried out, chasing after Hua Gu and circling around Jiang Yi.

Qingxiao, who had already formed his core, was still in the form of green vines and had not yet taken human form.

Jiang Yi looked at Hua Gu, who had grown quite a bit taller, and affectionately ruffled her hair. She was now up to Jiang Yi's shoulder, standing tall and graceful, well-behaved and adorable, giving Jiang Yi the feeling of a daughter growing up.

Hongli was the same, half a head taller than Huagu, with a cocky and arrogant look. With her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes, she always stood with her hands on her hips and frowned, like a delinquent gang leader.

Although Zhu Xin Jian had not yet taken human form, Jiang Yi could still sense his state. He still looked like a young boy. He used to look like Hua Gu's older brother, but now that Hua Gu had grown up a lot, he looked more like Hua Gu's bad-tempered younger brother.

It's not that he has a bad temper; Zhu Xin has significantly reduced the frequency of his cursing, thanks in large part to the Kunlun Dao Stele.

During Jiang Yi's seclusion, Zhu Xin would often go to the Kunlun Dao Stele to "discuss the Dao". Both of them were special post-natal creations, born from the input of a large amount of knowledge, and were of the same kind.

People of the same kind look down on each other.

Over the past twenty years, the practice of punishing the heart has gradually become more peaceful, but the Kunlun Dao Stele has become increasingly volatile!

Zhenshan and Duanjin appeared unchanged, but when Jiang Yi scanned them with his divine sense, he could faintly sense an unusually powerful pressure behind them, similar to the pressure of the Qilin in Zhao Cangyun's bloodline.

It's a Suanni!
"Have you grasped the true meaning of the 'Suanni Guarding the City' painting?"

Zhenshan chuckled and nodded, "Yes, after being cursed by Zhuxin for over ten years, even if I'm still a stupid stone, I should have figured it out by now."

Duan Jin also laughed, "Now, when I merge with Zhenshan, I can transform into the Suanni divine beast, which can swallow smoke and breathe fire. Its strength is extremely close to that of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Duan Jin didn't say much; Jiang Yi could find out the specifics through their contract.

Zhaoming and Yaoling looked the same as always, and Qingxiao didn't seem to have changed much either.

Qingxiao was unwilling to take human form, so she gave up the process when she formed her core and always remained in the form of a vine.

Jiang Yi thought about it carefully. Back in the Northern Xuan Cangling Sect, she had never seen the sect-protecting immortal vine in its transformed form. Instead, the ancient tree in the sect transformed into an old woman and helped with affairs in the internal affairs hall.

Unless it's a master-servant contract, the spirit can decide for itself whether to transform into human form or not.

Shen Puning's pearl never took human form; it only had two forms: a small wild boar and a wild boar king. Moreover, after the pearl obtained most of the remains of the ancient beast Tanuki, the form of the wild boar king changed, becoming even more imposing.

Perhaps the pearl prefers its original form and has no interest in the human form.

During Jiang Yi's seclusion in the Kunlun Secret Realm, everyone made rapid progress, especially Hong Li, who was constantly helping everyone refine pills.

Jiang Yi just ate one of those 'Five Elements Spirit Gathering Pills'. Strictly speaking, that thing can't be considered a pill, but rather a mass of extremely pure Five Elements essence with only a few impurities, refined to the extreme.

Therefore, even artifacts like the Heart-Piercing Mirror and the Radiant Spirit Sword can be directly absorbed by demonic spirits to enhance their respective original power.

The Kunlun Secret Realm contains many unique and independent secret spaces. Even the Dao Lords of the Three Great Sword Sects stayed here to cultivate, which shows how extraordinary this place is.

Jiang Yi originally wanted to go to the Innate Source Qi Sea, which was the third trial of the Daoist method, but it had already been occupied by Daoist Chonghe, so she could only choose the Daoist Stele Space.

The spiritual energy here is abundant, and although the surrounding scenery and ancient ferocious beasts are fake, it is still very suitable for cultivation and combat trials.

Therefore, after 26 years of seclusion, Qingxiao, which had fallen behind, caught up, and all its members reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Jiang Yi's condition is very special; her late-stage Golden Core realm, which is of the highest grade, is equivalent to the peak Golden Core realm of other Golden Core cultivators.

Her golden core was flawless, its patterns complete, its flames powerful, and her soul was fused within it. Even her state of mind, having experienced nine different lives during her twenty-six years of slumber, was also included.

She has lived the life of a mortal, a cultivator, a man, a woman—a life that is neither human nor not human.

Although I've forgotten most of the specific details after waking up, the feelings and insights remain.

Under normal circumstances, as long as she is properly prepared, she can immediately break through the Golden Core and form the Nascent Soul.

But no!

Three years ago, she went to the Innate Source Qi Sea to consult Daoist Chonghe. Daoist Chonghe told her to immediately try breaking her core, and that's when Jiang Yi discovered the problem.

Her golden core is incredibly robust!
A Heavenly Grade Golden Core containing innate primordial energy is so sturdy that even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't break it.

The matter of shattering the core can only be accomplished by oneself. It is a process of destruction and reconstruction, requiring not only the determination to go all in but also the corresponding strength.

In addition, Daoist Chonghe said that the reason she is still in the late stage of Golden Core and cannot be called the peak of Golden Core is because her soul has not been fully integrated into her Golden Core.

Chonghe Daojun stopped short of revealing the truth, and Jiang Yi understood.

It was because of Lazy Root. Back then, when she self-destructed her golden core and her soul was shattered, it was Lazy Root who protected her life.

When Lazy Root merged with her, it also merged with a part of her life soul.

To form her nascent soul, she not only needed to shatter her core, but also to break free from the lazy roots that didn't belong to her, creating a flawless and perfect nascent soul that truly belonged to her.

Jiang Yi wasn't worried about the matter of shattering her core. She wasn't strong enough on her own, but with the combined power of the five demon spirits, it would probably be enough.

But when it came to breaking the lazy root, Jiang Yi noticed that she hesitated.

Daoist Chonghe immediately saw her hesitation and laughed, "Now that you've formed your Nascent Soul, you won't be able to pass the test of your inner demons."

clang--

clang--

clang--

The bronze bell within the Kunlun Secret Realm resounded, and Jiang Yi took a deep breath to regain his senses; this trial within the secret realm had begun.

She possesses the Kunlun Dao Seal, allowing her to freely enter and exit the Kunlun Secret Realm, but at the same time, she loses her qualification to participate in the Secret Realm Trials normally.

Over the years, she has passed eight trials in the secret realm. In addition to the Daoist trial, she also went to the Heavenly Sound Trial. The remaining trials have also been passed by the demons several times.

However, you can only directly receive two items from the Kunlun Treasure Vault after clearing the level for the first time. After clearing the level again, the Kunlun Dao Stele will give a score based on different criteria. Only if the score exceeds the previous score will you receive a reward.

The recipe for the Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill that Hong Li received was the reward for her ninth quick pass of the first level of the Pill Cauldron.

Jiang Yi said to the demons, "Pack your things and go back to Youxian Ferry. I'll take you out. Zhu Xin, please take stock of everyone's gains and changes over the years, as well as the items in the warehouse. Also, record my personal items. You don't need to record the things I no longer need or that need to be discarded. Just let Hong Li dispose of them."

"Oh!"

The weary voice of the young boy came from the Heart-Piercing Mirror, probably because he had just returned from discussing the Dao with the Dao Stele and had used up all his strength and methods.

Zhu Xin's main role now is to manage internal affairs and help everyone analyze various matters; he is no longer involved in combat.

Thinking of the cultivators who were gradually entering the new trial outside, Jiang Yi looked up at the sky.

"Before I leave, I need to get the Dao Stele to erase my name from all the Dao Heaven Rankings. If it can't be erased, it can't be included in this ranking either, otherwise it's unfair to the others, and I don't want to get scolded!"

　The second update will be a little later.
