Chapter 91 Nascent Soul Formation (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

The old cultivator in black's nascent soul was only an inch tall, making him too small a target, and his speed was too fast, so ordinary attacks were no longer very effective.

Therefore, Li Shizhou put away the golden gauntlets and silver spear, and the puppet and spirit beast also stopped attacking.

He once again unleashed the "Shadowless" divine power of the "Primordial Three Absolute Swords".

The stronger the master's spiritual sense, the more difficult it is for others to detect the hidden sword energy of this supernatural technique.

He has now cultivated the Great Evolution Technique to the third level. In addition, his divine soul is already powerful, and the strength of his divine sense is no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage. Moreover, the range of the formation is only so large, which is even more advantageous to him.

Inside the trapped formation, the old cultivator in black's nascent soul darted around frantically, trying to find a way to break the formation while also dodging the sword energy that might appear at any moment.

Now that he no longer has any defensive magic items to protect him, his protective aura alone cannot withstand the sword energy attack. Although he still has some talismans to defend himself, it is not a long-term solution.

After being ambushed several times, he had become extremely nervous. At the slightest disturbance in mid-air, he would quickly teleport away to escape.

Li Shizhou manipulated the formation, sometimes creating unusual movements, and sometimes using his natal magic weapon to launch surprise attacks.

The old cultivator in black was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His condensed Nascent Soul was still relatively fragile. He also had to suppress the cold poison, and using teleportation placed a considerable burden on his mana.

After expending most of the day's energy, his magical power finally began to wane.

Li Shizhou's "Primordial Three Absolute Swords" found an opportunity and shattered it into pieces with a single strike.

Their souls became food for the Soul-Crying Beasts.

Now that the formidable enemy has been eliminated, Li Shizhou's tense nerves finally relaxed, and it was time to take stock of his gains.

He was greatly exhausted from this battle.

Although the two purple-eyed creatures had drunk the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk to replenish their magic power, they were now looking listless after using the combined attack technique for a long time. They had obviously suffered a great loss of vitality and it would probably take several years to fully recover.

Five Nascent Soul level talismans were used up, and four defensive magic treasures were destroyed.

His purple-gold armor and ancient treasures were also damaged, and he had consumed countless spirit stones and drunk a lot of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk.

It was a Pyrrhic victory.

Li Shizhou opened the black-clad old cultivator's storage bag, inspected it, and then sorted the contents into categories.

After the losses in this battle, the pills and talismans inside are almost gone.

The number of spirit stones was not very large, but there were four magic treasures. It seems that even a rogue cultivator who is a Nascent Soul cultivator is not very wealthy.

After sorting them, Li Shizhou opened a wooden box.

A fresh, grassy scent wafted over, and the wooden box shimmered with a greenish light. At the very center of the light was a round, emerald-green bead about the size of a thumb.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Pearl; it truly looks extraordinary."

Upon probing with his divine sense, he discovered that the bead was neither stone nor wood, and he couldn't immediately discern what material it was made of.

Li Shizhou held it in his hand and played with it for a while before putting it into his storage bag. Then he picked up a jade slip and began to examine it.

After a while, he discovered that it contained the method for refining a treasure called the "Primordial Pearl".

Once successfully refined, it can be kept inside the body for nurturing. In times of crisis, it will automatically generate a golden light with defensive capabilities to protect its owner. Although the duration is very short, its defensive power is extremely strong.

"It seems that the rogue cultivator Zhao Yan relied on this item to avoid the initial sneak attack. It's quite a treasure."

Although Li Shizhou was very interested after reading it, he planned to refine it later.

The most important thing now is to condense the nascent soul. After all, no matter how many methods one has, it is still because one's cultivation level is insufficient that one needs treasures to make up for it.

A month later.

Li Shizhou sat cross-legged in a secret room.

Three jade bottles were placed in front of him; these were the three kinds of spiritual herbs he had collected to help him condense his nascent soul.

These are the "Infant Demon Pill" refined by the Nascent Soul Elder of the Star Palace, the "Qian Yuan Condensing Infant Dew" refined by Su Wanhe of the Falling Cloud Sect, and a pill that Li Shizhou obtained at the Tianxing City Trade Fair that can increase the chance of forming an Infant.

For the past month, he has stopped all his cultivation, including the Great Evolution Technique and the Pure Yang Technique.

First, a separate secluded training room was built for breaking through the bottleneck, and several sets of formations were set up.

Then he handed over the array plates that controlled the three large arrays outside to his Daoist partner, Yuan Yao, and taught her how to control them.

After that, Li Shizhou relaxed and sorted out and recalled all his memories from his time travel.

Only when his mind was completely calm did he enter the pre-prepared seclusion room to begin breaking through the bottleneck.

To prevent the spiritual energy from being insufficient, he also laid out a large number of spirit stones in the secluded cultivation room.

After taking the elixir, Li Shizhou began to circulate the techniques in the "Lingzhao True Scripture" to absorb its medicinal power.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, one evening, when the sky was ablaze with the colors of sunset.

Countless multicolored spiritual lights suddenly appeared in the sky above Li Shizhou's secluded place, more than a hundred feet above the ground.

These lights flickered on and off, but each contained extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the scene even more magnificent than the sunset.

A powerful aura surged from his secluded cave and spread to the surrounding area.

The low-level demonic beasts within a hundred miles all felt a sense of fear for no reason, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

The couple Ding Sheng and Wang Li, who were cultivating, lived in a cave dwelling that was only a little over a mile away from Li Shizhou's secluded cultivation room.

They were startled by the sudden aura, but as Foundation Establishment cultivators, they only felt a little uncomfortable and a sense of bewilderment arose in their hearts.

The two quickly circulated their internal energy to resist the chilling aura.

As a Core Formation cultivator, Yuan Yao was in a much better situation. She was guarding the secluded cultivation room and was currently observing the strange phenomena caused by Li Shizhou's breakthrough in cultivation.

Her face showed both joy and worry: "Could it be that my husband has successfully formed his nascent soul?"

Just then, the terrifying aura suddenly subsided.

A sound like a dragon's roar emanated from Li Shizhou's secluded cave, and then the sky and earth changed color as a figure a hundred feet tall appeared on the dome of the formation.

The figure was surrounded by a three-colored aura, so bright that its appearance was indistinguishable.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the figure suddenly transformed into a sky full of starlight and vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, inside the secluded training room, Li Shizhou had his eyes closed and looked peaceful, as if he had already fallen asleep.

On the topknot of his head, a tiny baby, about an inch tall, was happily playing.

This baby was the nascent soul that Li Shizhou had condensed after his cultivation breakthrough, and its appearance was exactly the same as his.

After playing for a while, the baby emerged from the top of its head and burrowed into its body.

He twitched his eyelids slightly, finally opened his eyes, and, sensing the change in his cultivation level, revealed an uncontrollable smile.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Shizhou calmed his mind and began to continue circulating his cultivation technique to stabilize his power.

It wasn't until three months later that he stood up, casually waved his right hand, and the heavy stone door of the seclusion room instantly turned to dust.

He walked out with light steps.
