Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

The thirty-ninth level of the sacred mountain, Han Li's cave.

The sky suddenly darkened. Thick, inky black clouds gathered out of nowhere, with silver snakes darting about deep within them. Immediately afterward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of over a hundred miles seemed to be seized by an invisible giant hand, rushing madly towards the cave, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy in mid-air.

"Someone has reached the Core Formation stage! Another person has reached the Core Formation stage!"

The nearby cultivators were all alarmed and stopped to look at the center of the vortex, their eyes filled with envy.

In Tianxing City, the divine senses of many high-level cultivators swept across the thirty-ninth level of the Holy Mountain. Some glanced at it indifferently, while others seemed to be deep in thought.

Deep within the cave, the stone door to the secret chamber, which had been sealed for many years, slowly opened.

A figure with long, disheveled hair and a slightly weak aura slowly walked out. A flash of yellow light, and Qu Hun appeared silently beside him.

Han Li stood still, feeling the golden core slowly rotating in his dantian, and an unprecedentedly powerful magical force flowed slowly around him.

He suddenly threw his head back and burst into loud laughter, which echoed in the cave, gradually rising in intensity, releasing all the hardships and ecstasy accumulated over a century.

"Father, Mother, Little Sister... Master Mo, Nangong Wan..." he whispered, reciting the names etched into his heart, "Did you see that? I, Han Li, have formed my Core! I, with my pseudo-spiritual root, have formed my Core!"

My heart was filled with overwhelming joy.

Just as he finished reciting that name, the image of Li Feiyu flashed through his mind subconsciously.

unlucky!

He shook his head, feeling the soft glow emanating from the golden core within his body, and finally a pure and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The road ahead is long and arduous, but today we have finally reached a new level.

However, before his smile could fully unfold—

The entire sacred mountain suddenly trembled.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure crashed down from the summit of the sacred mountain.

Han Li's expression changed drastically. Almost at the same moment, he sensed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had just calmed down, surged violently again—no, this surge was more than a hundred times more violent than when he formed his core!

He suddenly pushed open the stone door of the cave and looked up.

Then, he froze.

From the summit of the sacred mountain, the entire sky seemed to be ablaze.

No, it's not burning.

The sun, moon, and stars appear simultaneously.

It was daytime, and in the sky, the sun shone brightly in the east, its golden rays intensely intense; a bright moon appeared out of nowhere in the west, its clear light shining down; and on the north and south sides, and even in the depths of the entire sky, countless stars lit up in the daylight, their brilliant starlight intertwining to form a vast Milky Way, as if the entire universe had been brought closer to the human world.

The sun and moon shine together, and the stars twinkle in broad daylight!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged madly towards the summit of the sacred mountain. It was beyond description as a "whirlpool"—it was like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, draining all the spiritual energy from ten thousand miles away, forming a huge vortex of spiritual light in mid-air with a diameter of tens of miles. Five-colored rays of light emerged, which were then replaced by purer golden light, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, intertwining into a huge sphere of light so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

"This is... a sign of Nascent Soul formation?!"

"Someone has achieved Nascent Soul formation atop the sacred mountain!"

The entire Tianxing City was in an uproar.

Countless streaks of light rose from all directions, densely surging towards the Holy Mountain, stopping at the fiftieth level. This time, even the reclusive Nascent Soul elders of the Star Palace could not sit still; seven or eight incredibly powerful divine senses swept across the sky.

Han Li stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the earth-shattering phenomenon on the mountaintop, and his lips twitched slightly.

He had only just formed his core, and before he could even feel happy for a moment, someone formed a nascent soul above his head? And it was such a terrifying phenomenon that could make the sun, moon, and stars appear at the same time?

But he soon realized something was wrong.

That direction... is the summit of the holy mountain.

That was the place where the two Celestial Saints were in seclusion.

Someone formed an infant spirit right under the noses of the two saints? In other words, under the protection of the two saints?

Suddenly, a golden beam of light shot up from the mountaintop, piercing straight into the enormous sphere of light interwoven with the sun, moon, and stars high in the sky. Within the beam of light lay a chilling aura of killing intent, as if it could cleave the heavens in two.

The sphere of light began to shrink.

The sun, moon, and stars spun wildly, their light and shadow appearing in turn, eventually coalescing into a crystal-clear bead the size of a fist. On the surface of the bead, there were even phantom images of the rising and setting of the sun and the movement of stars, as if sealing the entire universe within it.

"boom--"

The bead shattered, transforming into a cloud of interwoven three colors of mist that drifted towards the mountaintop.

At the same time, all celestial phenomena erupted completely.

The sun, moon, and stars shone brightly, and it seemed as if countless stars were falling from the sky at the same time, only to transform into specks of light in the instant of their fall, converging towards the mountaintop. Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning roared, and the world changed color.

When all the strange phenomena converged on one point, a huge beam of light slowly rose from the top of the sacred mountain.

It was a human-shaped phantom, about a hundred feet tall, standing atop the mountain, overlooking the entire Tianxing City.

The figure was surrounded by a three-colored aura—gold, white, and blue—the gold being dazzling, the white cool, and the blue vast, the colors of the sun, moon, and stars. The figure's face was shrouded in this aura, making it impossible to discern anything, yet simply standing there exuded an aura of majesty that commanded the heavens and earth to bow down.

The next moment, he clearly saw the corner of the light and shadow's mouth seem to curl up slightly.

Without roars or suppressed releases, the light and shadow shattered with a calm and uneventful crash, transforming into a sky full of starlight that dissipated between heaven and earth.

The mountaintop returned to tranquility.

Only the lingering, faint shadows of the sun, moon, and stars hinted at what had just happened.

The onlookers remained silent for a long time.

Han Li stood at the entrance of the cave, his expression shifting. Although the illusory figure from before was blurry, he recognized its identity at a glance.

After a long silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "I knew it... I knew it!"

……

At the summit of the sacred mountain, Li Feiyu sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. But on the top of his head, a tiny baby, about an inch tall, was climbing and playing on his hair.

The baby was fair and tender, enveloped in golden light, with three rays of light surrounding it. Its appearance was exactly the same as Li Feiyu's. Even the calm expression on its face was identical to Li Feiyu's usual style.

"So this is what it feels like to be a Nascent Soul cultivator... It certainly has some unique aspects, but it's also far too fragile."

After truly forming his Nascent Soul, Li Feiyu inevitably compared it with the previous system in his mind. Compared with the external Dharma Form, the Nascent Soul of cultivation is indeed as fragile as an infant, and it is not really the Dao and Dharma that bear its own weight.

Moreover, the Devouring Dao Nascent Soul is different from the Golden Core because the Nascent Soul contains the origin of the divine soul and cannot be directly swallowed.

Another issue is that the Earth Imagery hasn't made any moves yet, and it's uncertain whether it can meet the deadline of a hundred years. He had previously considered using the demon core of an eighth-level demon beast as a substitute, since there are many demon beasts with earth attributes and earth imagery associated with them, making them relatively easier to find.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators he knew in the Chaotic Star Sea, the only one who could be somewhat connected to the imagery of the earth was the Barbarian Beard's "Heaven-Supporting Demon Art," but even that was a stretch, and it was difficult to obtain in the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, he wasn't a proper body-cultivating cultivator. He could open his acupoints and build a physical body to reach the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation stages, but dealing with a proper Nascent Soul body cultivator was a joke.

However, these are later stories.

As the Nascent Soul stage is near the pinnacle of the human realm, the help from the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars within this world is almost a blessing for Li Feiyu, one that he cannot but repay.

Thinking about this, Li Feiyu felt a little melancholy.

Li Feiyu withdrew his nascent soul, opened his eyes, and bowed to the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain from afar: "Many thanks to Mount Tai and the Taishui River for protecting me. I have successfully completed my mission and finally achieved the Nascent Soul stage."

Ling Xiaofeng sighed, "I have to admit, you do have the right to be arrogant on the path of cultivation... How are you feeling now?"

"The Nascent Soul realm is indeed a world unto itself. If one uses Core Formation cultivation to deduce Nascent Soul techniques, there are many errors. The previously deduced 'Three Eternal Radiance Technique' is only cultivable, far from its full potential, and needs further revision. Regarding the limitations of the 'Primordial Magnetic Divine Light,' I still need some time to study it. However, please rest assured, both of you, I hereby swear with my Dao heart that I will help you break through this constraint in my lifetime!"

"No..." Wen Qing tried to stop her, but it was too late. "Sigh, child, why do you have to do this!"

"My dear son-in-law, you've been too hasty. Your vows and vows are of utmost importance; you shouldn't have acted so impulsively," Ling Xiaofeng said, his tone seemingly tinged with reproach.

However, the two were secretly pleased, feeling they hadn't misjudged him. As for whether it would work, they didn't hold out much hope, after all, they were both exceptionally talented individuals. Even if their creation of the technique wasn't as outrageous as Li Feiyu's, they still had hundreds of years of cultivation and knew just how difficult this task was.

However, it is precisely because of this that they still hold a glimmer of hope for Li Feiyu.

"This is determination and confidence, not impulsiveness," Li Feiyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Good child, you are very thoughtful."

"What are you planning to do next? Do you want to serve as an elder of the Star Palace first?" Wen Qing asked.

Li Feiyu shook his head and said, "I have been on the Holy Mountain since I began my cultivation. More than sixty years have passed, and I lack experience in the mortal world. Therefore, I plan to travel in the world as a rogue cultivator to broaden my horizons."

"The path of cultivation is indeed not suitable for closed-door practice. Although you formed your Nascent Soul through our initiation, your foundation and magical power are extremely profound, enough to stand on your own. However, it is still better to stabilize your realm and refine your natal magic weapon before you go on your travels," Wen Qing said.

"Madam is right," Ling Xiaofeng agreed. "This item is called the Three Lights Mirror. It needs to be refined with the power of the three lights. It has been gathering dust in the Star Palace Treasury for a long time, and it is just right for you."

A mirror and a suit of armor flew down from the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain and landed in Li Feiyu's eyes.

"This [Perfect Armor] is an ancient defensive treasure; take it with you for protection," Wen Qing added. "Later, go find the Grand Elder; he will take you to the Star Palace's secret vault to select materials to refine your natal magic weapon."

"Thank you, Mount Tai and the Tai River, for bestowing this treasure."

"Alright, Ling'er has been waiting for you for a long time. Since you're going on a journey, take her with you."

"yes!"

……

Li Feiyu's feelings were somewhat complicated, but not about the relationship itself. He was absolutely sincere in his feelings for Ling Yuling.

Moreover, these calculations and schemes, though seemingly complex, are actually quite simple.

Because this is a world of cultivation, as long as one's cultivation level is high enough and one's strength is strong enough, many things can even be reversed from cause to effect.

As long as he makes the Star Palace prosper, allows the two Heavenly Star Saints to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, and makes Ling Yu feel his affection and respect.

Then, in addition, he possesses strength that surpasses everything in the human realm.

Then all his previous actions, whether it was scheming, planning, or complex emotional handling, will be reinterpreted and redefined by this glorious "result".

In the cultivation world where strength reigns supreme, the victor writes history. When he stands at the peak, everything in the past is no longer a scheme, but a profound plan and a blessing.

In this matter, he only owes two things.

He owed Ling Yuling a debt of honesty.

Although he gave her promises for the present and the future, he could not give her a clear explanation of her past "status".

He owed Han Yunshu a debt of loyalty.

He had promised Han Yunshu to manage the household affairs, but now he has opened another courtyard outside and cannot tell her the truth immediately.

Therefore, after leaving the Holy Mountain covered by the numerous Nascent Soul spiritual senses, Li Feiyu immediately checked into an inn, activated the isolation restriction, and took out the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman.

He wanted to tell Han Yunshu about what had happened over the past sixty years, so that she would know what he had done!

However, when he saw the message on the Wanli Talisman, he was completely stunned.

That was a message from ten years ago.
