I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

In the quiet room, Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged and began adjusting the equipment slots.

Sevenfold blessings, layer upon layer!

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his cultivation technique, launching an attack on the legendary Nascent Soul realm!

……

Two months later.

On this day, a female cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage of the Golden Sun Sect piloted a magical artifact and flew through the air.

Her name is Liu Yiyi. She has just successfully established her foundation and has come to this spiritual vein land today to choose a suitable spiritual peak to open a cave dwelling for herself.

suddenly--

A strange sense of dread descended upon her without warning!

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy in the air began to churn wildly like boiling water, instantly forming countless large and small vortexes of spiritual energy!

Caught off guard, Liu Yiyi stumbled and almost fell from the sky along with her magical artifact!

"ah--!"

She cried out in surprise and hurriedly circulated her spiritual power with all her might, barely managing to steady herself.

Then, she looked up in astonishment and looked around—

High in the sky, countless points of light, visible to the naked eye, appeared!

Those lights were multicolored, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, red like fire, blue like the sea, green like jade, purple like the sunset... Each one contained the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, shimmering and flowing in the air, dazzling and extremely beautiful!

Liu Yiyi had never seen such a sight before, and she was completely stunned.

She turned her gaze blankly, looking into the distance—

All that could be seen in the sky were these tiny specks of light!

Boundless, seemingly without end!

Good heavens! What's going on?

She floated in the air on her magical artifact, staring dumbfounded at the bizarre scene before her.

……

In fact, this wondrous sight of spiritual light appearing was found throughout the entire area within a hundred miles of Zhou Yuan's cave.

All the thousands of cultivators in the Golden Sun Sect sensed this tremendous change!

Some rushed out of their caves, some were startled awake from their cultivation, and some looked up from the mountains... Everyone looked at the sky shrouded in five-colored light, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.

"What... what's going on?"

"A surge of spiritual energy? Could it be the birth of some extraordinary treasure?"

"No! Look over there—those lights are converging!"

In the distance, the colorful lights seemed to be summoned and began to slowly converge towards the center.

Deep within Jinyang Mountain, in a cave three hundred miles from Zhou Yuan's cave dwelling, a figure suddenly rushed out!

That was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with a dignified face and a powerful aura. He was none other than Jin Buyi, the sect leader of Jinyang Sect!

He hovered in the air, gazing at the earth-shattering scene in the distance, his pupils suddenly contracting!

"This is... the legendary phenomenon of Nascent Soul Formation?!"

He muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

"Our Golden Sun Sect... actually has someone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage? Who is it? Which elder is it?"

His first thought was that one of the elders in the sect had secretly gone into seclusion to form his Nascent Soul. But then he thought again—he knew all the Core Formation elders in the sect very well, who had that kind of background?

Without a second thought, he activated his escape light and sped toward the center of the strange phenomenon!

After flying more than a hundred miles, he slowed down and watched from a distance of more than ten miles away—daring not to get any closer.

The most important thing to avoid when forming the Nascent Soul is to avoid disturbing the senior. If he were to offend that senior, he, as a mere sect leader, could not bear the consequences.

A moment later, three streaks of light arrived from different directions and landed beside him.

These are the other three Core Formation elders from the Golden Sun Sect!

The four people hovered in the air, looking at the increasingly intense strange phenomenon in the distance, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Sect Master, this is...?"

"Don't speak, just watch," Jin Buyi said in a deep voice.

The four exchanged glances, all seeing the same question in each other's eyes—

Who exactly is that senior? Why did he choose to form his Nascent Soul at Jin Yang Gate?

……

The disciples of Jin Yang Sect initially thought that one of their elders was forming a Nascent Soul, and they were all very excited.

But when they saw the sect leader and the three elders floating in the air, looking at the distance with shock and confusion, their excitement immediately cooled down.

Not an elder in the sect...

Who is that?

Everyone was filled with doubt.

……

Further away, in the sky tens of thousands of miles away, two white streaks of light suddenly stopped.

Those were two elderly cultivators dressed in white robes, their auras unfathomable, clearly Nascent Soul stage experts!

They were the Nascent Soul Elders of the Star Palace, who had also served as "Star Sea Patrol Envoys" for the past ten years, and happened to be patrolling this sea area.

"This is... Nascent Soul?" One of them squinted and looked into the distance.

"Judging by the direction and distance... it seems to be Jin Yang Sect." Another person stroked his beard, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "I didn't expect that Jin Buyi would actually have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage? Let's go take a look."

The two immediately changed direction and sped towards the location of Jin Yang Gate!

……

Outside the cave, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were already on high alert.

They sat cross-legged at the core of the formation, their magical power flowing around them, ready to activate the formation at any moment.

Zhou Tian, ​​in his transformed form, stood silently behind them like a statue, exuding a chilling aura.

"I hope Zhou Lang can successfully overcome his inner demons..."

Yuan Yao said softly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Yes, he will." Yanli held her hand. "Zhou Lang has been preparing for so long, he can definitely do it."

Ouyang Qing is also praying for Zhou Yuan!

……

Time passed slowly.

Above the cave, the spiritual light gathered more and more, gradually coalescing into a single mass.

A short while later, the sky within a radius of a hundred miles was filled with an endless expanse of five-colored clouds!

Amidst the rosy glow, the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder arose, and patches of colorful clouds rolled and surged with the thunder, then rapidly converged towards the center from all directions!

Above the mountain where Zhou Yuan's cave is located, dazzling light condensed into a huge ball of light with a diameter of about one mile!

The sphere of light shimmered and sparkled, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it!

Jin Buyi and the other three were dumbfounded.

The oppressive force contained within that sphere of light made even Core Formation cultivators like them feel their hearts tremble!

At a certain moment—

A sound like a dragon's roar emanated from the sphere of light, soaring straight into the heavens!

The heavens and earth changed color!

A humanoid figure of light and shadow, about a hundred feet tall, appeared above the Dongfu Mountain!

The figure shimmered with four-colored spiritual light, its hands and feet were astonishingly large, and it was surrounded by boundless pressure. Because the spiritual light on its face was so intense, no one could clearly see the giant's true appearance.

The figure seemed extremely imposing.

It's so impressive that you dare not look up at it!

"It's done...it's done!" Jin Buyi murmured, his eyes filled with envy.

That mysterious senior has truly succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul!
