It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

The three Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged a glance, and then almost simultaneously unleashed their auras, completely leveling the area where Su Chen was located in an instant.

The terrifying aura flashed by, but it still startled all the people who remained inside the mountain gate.

The mountain gate formation was instantly activated to its maximum extent, and the ancestor's aura exploded, throwing the entire sect into chaos.

"Did you succeed?"

"There was no reaction, I don't know!"

"Are you even capable? You don't even know if you've succeeded?"

The Peng demon was somewhat annoyed. They had been lying in wait for so long, but when they suddenly attacked, they didn't even know if they had succeeded.

"Who knows what that kid did? That old codger from the Xiaoyun Sect has shown up. Let's run for our lives first!"

The three cultivators at the Integration Stage fled desperately in three different directions in an instant. Even if the patriarch of the Xiaoyun Sect was incredibly powerful, he could only choose one of them.

However, after chasing for a while, the other party dared not continue. After all, there was no Nascent Soul stage cultivator present at the sect at this moment, and if the other party were to launch a counterattack, problems could easily arise within the sect.

At this moment, Su Chen looked at the leveled area with lingering fear.

He was there as usual, honing his spirit.

But then a sudden inspiration struck him, and he left his old hideout and moved to a different location.

It was precisely because of this choice that he escaped a disaster.

"Three integration stages..."

Su Chen was also somewhat surprised. Sending three Nascent Soul stage cultivators at once meant they were determined to kill him. To break this deadlock, he had to make a breakthrough.

"I was thinking of waiting a little longer, getting myself into top form, and then making a breakthrough, but now it seems there's no time left."

Su Chen looked up and saw the ancestor who had been forced out of seclusion to oversee the sect. The ancestor was not in good condition, and being forced out of seclusion at this time had disrupted his rhythm.

Those three combined-stage beings might very well make a comeback.

"Breakthrough."

The moment Su Chen made up his mind to break through, he immediately broke free from the state of intervention.

Although your spiritual and physical strength are still unbalanced, you no longer need to pursue perfection. The time you spent waiting within the Xiaoyun Sect has made your spiritual strength sufficient to support the fusion process.

[You know very well that once you choose to break through, there's no stopping you; you either charge straight through or give up halfway and never make another step forward.]

Given your current situation, if you fail to advance, death will likely be your only fate.

[You didn't dwell too much on the possibility of failure; as a body cultivator, you always possess an indomitable spirit.]

The commotion surrounding your breakthrough is far more intense than that of other Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their cultivation.

The sect's patriarch will appear directly beside you to protect and support your breakthrough.

You quickly become immersed in a state of breakthrough, unable to perceive anything in the outside world. In your eyes, there is only one thing: to exert all your strength to balance your mind and body.

However, this process is far more intricate and complex than you can imagine, and the slightest mistake, even a single error, will require starting all over again.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. The two sect leaders have long since returned to their sects, but they haven't appeared yet; instead, they are quietly waiting outside.

Everyone in the sect knew that a Nascent Soul cultivator was breaking through to the Perfected Stages. At first, they had some expectations, but as time went on, those expectations were rapidly diminishing.

After all, they had never heard of a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage taking so long.

Achieving balance between vitality and the body requires not just time, but also control over the body. The longer it takes, the weaker the control over oneself becomes.

It is almost impossible for such a cultivator to break through the shackles and become a powerful being in the Integration Stage.

[Your breakthrough took far too long; a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and your aura remains stagnant. Even the sect's patriarch has already departed.]

Everyone thought your breakthrough would fail, and all they wanted to do was wait for the moment you completely failed to see if they could save you.

[Your aura is becoming increasingly subdued; even after the two sect leaders confirmed it, they still couldn't discern any signs of a breakthrough.]

[What they're really curious about is why you took so long? You neither failed nor succeeded.]

Several more days passed, and the lower-level disciples had long forgotten that you were still in the process of breaking through.

Only the sect leader, who regularly cares about you, and a few elders are aware that you are still breaking through to the next level.

However, in their assessment, your chances of successfully breaking through are extremely slim, and it's even possible that your complete failure will be the moment you perish.

However, the two sect leaders still retained a glimmer of hope.

They don't believe in your luck; they believe that someone as wicked as you couldn't possibly die so easily.

The Xiaoyun Sect will be thrown into turmoil because of your appearance, and the sect's future is inextricably linked to yours. If you die now, where will their previous calculations come from?

They believe you will succeed!

Chapter 186 Integration Period

At first, you have to work hard to maintain a balance between the two, but gradually, your soul and body begin to merge on their own.

However, for you, this speed is indeed a bit too slow.

You've also tried to continue leading and promoting integration.

But at this stage, everything is no longer under your control.

Even if you feel everything is moving at a snail's pace, you can only watch helplessly as they slowly merge.

Feeling rather bored, you started researching cultivation techniques related to the soul.

[When your body experiences a slight tremor, when you break free from your state of focused study, you realize that, without your noticing, everything has already been fully integrated.]

You curiously sense the changes in your body. Based on your understanding, you are currently in the Fusion Stage.

Compared to your previous Nascent Soul stage, your body looks even more perfect.

It wasn't just a change in visual effects; it was an atmosphere that was hard to ignore.

A cloud of tribulation from the Integration Stage is rapidly gathering above your head.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of others within the sect.

"Good, this kid has finally entered the Fusion Stage. I thought I would have to wait for a while longer."

The deputy sect leader looked at the tribulation clouds overhead, a hint of relief in his voice. At least now that this kid has entered the Integration Stage, those bastards who wanted to sneak into the sect will have to think twice.

"Don't be too happy yet, these tribulation clouds don't look quite right."

The sect leader frowned; the fluctuations above his head were truly beyond his expectations.

Such terrifying fluctuations were something he had never seen before.

Even those Body Integration stage cultivators wouldn't cause such a massive tribulation cloud at this stage. If the tribulation cloud above isn't handled properly, their sect will also suffer.

"Alright, we still have to keep working."

The deputy sect leader curled his lip; he had been so caught up in his joy that he hadn't paid any attention to the tribulation clouds overhead. Now, sensing the fluctuations, the excitement on his face vanished completely.

If that kid can't handle it, they'll have to step in and clean up his mess.

"I'll go get them out of here, or the heavenly tribulation will strike down on the mountain gate." Before the deputy sect leader finished speaking, he had already disappeared.

For others, the oppressive force of the tribulation clouds was somewhat difficult to withstand. They couldn't fathom how you had managed it.

The two sect leaders of the Xiaoyun Sect stood at a distance on either side of you, like guardians.

You weren't paying much attention to their condition; instead, you were intently focused on the tribulation clouds overhead.

As the first bolt of lightning struck, the world changed color. Your first tribulation seemed even more terrifying than the third tribulations of others.

People look up to you, marveling at your power, but also harboring a tinge of worry.

If the first lightning tribulation is already this terrifying, doesn't that mean the final lightning strike might be unprecedented and never to be repeated?

Can you really hold out until then?

"Brother, this kid seems a bit strange." The deputy sect leader transmitted the information telepathically.

He was closer to the sect leader and could see things more clearly than the others.

The deputy sect leader clearly saw that Zhang Yang's body was like a piece of cotton that absorbed water. The lightning bolt was like a drop of water, directly merging into Zhang Yang's body without making a splash.

"What's so strange about him? He's only at the Great Perfection of Body Cultivation. A normal Body Cultivator should be able to easily handle the tribulation. Keep a close eye on him, and if he can't hold on, take over immediately."

The fusion period has gradually begun, and we are coming into contact with the origin of the world.

Someone like the sect leader can be immune to lightning tribulations to a certain extent. However, if they want to interfere with someone else's lightning tribulation, they still have to bear severe punishment.

"Really? How come I didn't know those body cultivators had become so powerful?"

The deputy sect leader looked suspicious. He had encountered body cultivators before, but none of them had ever been this ruthless.

"Stop being so sarcastic and keep a close eye on things."

The sect leader urged him on, as he also sensed something was amiss. Even if a body cultivator could achieve greater individual combat strength within the same realm, it was still a problem.

However, there is still a lack in terms of breath and spirit.

They do appear to have some weaknesses.

It could be like Zhang Yang's aura, which was displayed a bit too perfectly.

He not only achieved an extremely high level in physical cultivation, but his spiritual strength was also no weaker than those cultivators who entered the Dao through spiritual energy.

Normally, no one can achieve perfection in both directions at the same time.

After all, regardless of the difficulty, talent alone is enough to stop a large number of people.

Perfection and great achievement may seem to be only a little different, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

Moreover, for the vast majority of cultivators, their achievements in body cultivation are far inferior to those of body cultivators.

Not to mention the so-called great achievement.

The vast majority of body cultivators also expend a great deal of resources and energy, making it difficult to make breakthroughs in Daoist techniques.

Zhang Yang clearly hadn't cultivated for very long, yet he had already reached a level that many people could hardly achieve.

"Will you be a harbinger of disaster or a benefactor of change?" The sect leader looked at the figure undergoing tribulation in the sky and gently shook his head.

With the future uncertain, he can only take it one step at a time.

The speed and frequency of the lightning strikes are even faster than you imagine.
