I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

Inside the ruined palace of time, the gray mist seemed to have solidified.

Qin Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, the purple lightning on his body not yet completely subsided, and fine electric snakes still crisscrossed his hair. He had completely absorbed the power of the Tribulation Lightning Immortal Fruit, and his fifth-stage Nascent Soul had become more solid and profound. The newly formed pale purple lightning patterns intertwined with the original flame patterns, silver star points, and dark red demonic patterns, forming a mysterious and majestic pattern that faintly emitted fluctuations that made the space tremble slightly.

Fifth stage peak, Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

But this is not enough.

There was no trace of complacency in Qin Yuan's eyes; instead, an even more intense flame burned within them.

Three days might stretch into ten days or half a month in this dilapidated palace where time flows at an abnormal pace, but it is still urgent for the further refinement of the "Nine Deaths Nascent Soul Technique" and for breaking through to a higher realm.

His mind sank into the system; the massive energy of over 600,000 points was like a silent ocean, containing infinite possibilities.

"Let's begin, the sixth transformation—'Yin Yang Refinement'."

According to the records and systematic deductions in "Nine Deaths Nascent Soul Technique", the sixth transformation requires the activation of Yin and Yang energies to open up the Yin-Yang cycle within the Nascent Soul, so that the Nascent Soul possesses both the extreme Yin and Yang natures, and is endlessly regenerating.

Ordinary cultivators need decades or even centuries to find a suitable place for yin and yang, and harmonizing yin and yang energies into their bodies is extremely dangerous, often resulting in yin-yang imbalance and the disintegration of the nascent soul.

But Qin Yuan didn't need to search. He looked at the "chaotic primordial energy" floating in the system space.

Chaos is the primordial state before the separation of Yin and Yang and before the creation of heaven and earth, containing the most fundamental Yin and Yang mechanisms! Using this as a catalyst is most appropriate!

Without hesitation, he guided a wisp of pure chaotic energy into his dantian.

In an instant, the nascent soul seemed to be thrown into a boiling oil pot, or plunged into ancient ice! Extreme heat and extreme cold, two completely opposite yet common forces, erupted at the same time, frantically washing over and tearing at the dark golden nascent soul!

"Hmph!" Qin Yuan grunted, veins bulging on his forehead, half of his body turning crimson and scorching hot, steam rising from it, while the other half was covered in pale frost, exuding a chilling aura. If his physical body had not been tempered multiple times by the Earth's core fire and tribulation lightning, and if he had not possessed the foundation of a fifth-stage Nascent Soul, he would probably have been torn apart by this violent Yin and Yang energy by now!

He focused intently on his spiritual platform, circulating the sixth stage of the Nine Deaths Nascent Soul Technique. With unparalleled perseverance, he forcefully guided the raging Yin and Yang energies, guiding them to slowly flow and merge within his nascent soul along a profound trajectory. It was as if he had forcibly carved out a balanced channel in boiling oil and ice water.

This was an extremely painful and lengthy process. Time flowed abnormally within the Time Remnant Palace, making it difficult to measure accurately; Qin Yuan felt that each breath was like a year.

His consciousness oscillated between extreme pain and lucidity, sustained only by an indomitable will and the system's persistent, albeit weak, support.

After an unknown amount of time, the turmoil inside the nascent soul gradually subsided, and a tiny, slowly rotating yin-yang symbol finally took shape at the core of the nascent soul.

One black and one white, one yin and one yang, chasing each other, cycling endlessly, exuding an aura of mystery and unpredictability.

Sixth transformation, successful!

The dark golden nascent soul shrank again, becoming even more condensed, like divine iron. Its entire body shimmered with a faint black and white light, interwoven with the previous dark gold, flame patterns, starlight, demonic patterns, and lightning patterns, making it appear even more wondrous. The nascent soul's strength, total spiritual power, and range of divine sense had once again experienced a leap forward!

However, Qin Yuan did not stop. The flames in his eyes burned even brighter.

"Time... is still not enough." He could sense that the flow of time within the ruined palace seemed to be becoming unstable, and the pressure from the outside world was also faintly palpable. He had to be faster!

"System, allocate all energy and activate the Ultimate Enlightenment and Deduction state! Target: The seventh stage of the Nine Deaths Nascent Soul Technique, 'Life and Death Refinement'; the eighth stage, 'Reincarnation Refinement'; and the ninth stage, 'Return to One Refinement'! Use the remaining treasure energy as fuel to accelerate the process!"

[Command received. Energy points invested... Ultimate Enlightenment and Deduction Mode activated. Sufficient high-level energy source detected (Taiyi Refined Gold, Seven Aperture Divine Grass, and other rare and precious materials), capable of providing the extreme energy required for tempering and replenishing consumption. Deduction acceleration begins...]

In an instant, Qin Yuan's thoughts seemed to transcend light and time. The profound mysteries that previously required years or even decades of arduous study and comprehension now flowed through his mind like a clear stream, revealing every detail.

At the same time, the system guided the transformed treasure energy into the purest and most violent "life and death energy", "reincarnation intent", and "return to the origin", like the fiercest tide, wave after wave crashing against the newly stabilized sixth-stage nascent soul!

The seventh transformation, "Life and Death Refinement"! Drawing upon the energy of life and death, simulating the cycle of life and death, seeking a glimmer of life amidst annihilation, and tempering the indestructible essence of the nascent soul.

The nascent soul hovers on the edge of life and death, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it might dissipate at any moment, yet it bursts forth with even more tenacious vitality at its limit.

The eighth stage, "Reincarnation Refinement"! Comprehend the true meaning of reincarnation, see through illusions, and illuminate your true self. The nascent soul seems to have experienced a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, with various illusions appearing, inner demons arising, and the Dao heart undergoing an unprecedented test.

Qin Yuan held fast to a single, undiminished spark of spiritual light, and with the foundation of the righteous and peaceful "Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique," he withstood the trials and tribulations at the level of consciousness.

The ninth transformation, "Return to One Refinement"! It integrates the results of the tempering of the previous eight transformations, transforms the extreme forces of flame, void, demonic tribulation, yin and yang, life and death, reincarnation, etc., returns to simplicity and truth, and all streams return to their origin, forging an unparalleled foundation for the Dao and achieving the perfect Yuan Nascent Soul!

This is the most difficult step, requiring the perfect fusion of all the "traces" left by previous tempering without any conflict, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain and the nascent soul will shatter.

With the support of the system's extreme simulation and massive energy, the three-stage tempering process was compressed to its limit. The pain also reached an unprecedented peak.

Qin Yuan's body surface kept cracking and healing, the blood staining the dust beneath him before quickly evaporating. His consciousness sank into the abyss of darkness several times, only to be forcibly pulled back by an even stronger will to seek the Dao.

finally--

"boom!!!"

Within the ruined hall, a deafening roar, seemingly originating from the depths of the soul, erupted!

Within Qin Yuan's dantian, the nascent soul that had undergone nine life-and-death trials suddenly erupted with indescribable dazzling light!

All the unusual phenomena—flame patterns, star spots, demonic patterns, thunder patterns, yin-yang fish, life and death energy, and the light of reincarnation—were all contained within and merged, ultimately transforming into a chaotic color that was pure to the extreme, yet seemed to contain all the mysteries of the universe!

The nascent soul has returned to its original size, even more full than before, flawless, perfectly integrated, and exuding an aura of perfection, completeness, and supreme power!

Nine Revolutions of Nascent Soul, Perfect Success!
