Chapter 270 - 236-237: Pill Formation and Infant Formation, Secret Realm Opening

Chapter 270: Chapter 236-237: Pill Formation and Infant Formation, Secret Realm Opening

The Nascent Soul Realm!

This was something Xu Chang’an had failed to achieve in his previous life, even after spending several hundred years.

But now, he was about to undergo Pill Formation and Infant Formation to achieve a Nascent Soul.

’One hundred and ten years of recultivation!’

Ripples stirred in Xu Chang’an’s heart.

In this life, his starting point had been far lower than in his previous one.

He was just an ordinary Grey Rat.

But his Cultivation progress was much faster than before.

Besides a few lucky opportunities, there were other reasons as well.

Xu Chang’an had a faint premonition.

This panel of unknown origin seemed to be a better fit for his identity as a member of the Demon Race.

In his past life, he had also relied on the panel to build a solid foundation and form a Golden Core.

But his combat strength was nowhere near what it was in this life.

The reason was his physical body and constitution!

With his physique alone, Xu Chang’an could defeat others in the same Realm!

Besides forging his profound foundation, breakthroughs via the panel also seemed to raise the upper limits of his physique.

Other members of the Demon Race could also advance their Bloodline through Spiritual Items, but from all the Ancient Texts Xu Chang’an had read, not a single one had ever managed to do so to such an incredible degree!

Although advancing one’s Bloodline could enhance the Demon Body and Spirit, the degree of improvement was nothing like Xu Chang’an’s.

During his thirty-plus years in Qingyang Immortal City, Xu Chang’an had also consulted a great deal of information.

As a Core Formation Zhenren and a Tier Three Alchemist, he naturally had access to a lot of information.

The past glory of the Ancient Demon Race was gone, seemingly due to a curse between heaven and earth.

Their physiques were no longer as formidable as in the past, and their Bloodline talents had all but vanished.

Thus, the incomparably powerful Ancient Demon Race had vanished from the stage of history.

Xu Chang’an faintly suspected that with his panel, he could seemingly ignore this curse.

As long as he continued to break through in his Cultivation and advance his Bloodline, his physique would grow ever more formidable.

Even the nearly extinct Talent Divine Techniques might manifest in him.

If he continued on this path, perhaps he could reach a stage that even the Ancient Demon Race could only look up to in awe!

’Longevity is within reach! The Great Dao is within reach!’

’Slow and steady, always moving forward, I will finally surpass my past self!’

’A million miles of rivers and mountains—what’s to stop me from traversing them all again!’

Xu Chang’an’s heart swelled with exhilaration and excitement, a heroic spirit soaring to incredible heights.

After a long while, he gradually calmed his emotions.

He slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, when he opened them again, his Mental Realm was as tranquil as a placid, ancient pool.

His spiritual altar was clear, his mind at peace.

At this moment, Xu Chang’an’s spirit condensed and stirred.

"Breakthrough!"

BOOM!

A violent aura began to surge madly with Xu Chang’an at its center.

The Demon Recognition Pass, the Nascent Soul Formation Pass, the Heart Demon Pass, and the Thunder Tribulation Pass!

The four great trials of Nascent Soul Formation.

With the panel’s help, the Demon Recognition Pass couldn’t stop him in the slightest.

His Demon Sense was continuously enhanced, transformed!

It grew ever more profound and powerful!

The Nascent Soul Formation Pass!

To pass this trial, a normal Cultivator or Demon would need the help of a Tier Four Elixir from a Nascent Soul Pill Formula to have a high chance of breaking through.

Pill Formation and Infant Formation!

This was the very trial being described!

The more solid the foundation, the more extraordinary the resulting Spirit Infant.

Of course, the corresponding difficulty of dissolving the core was also greater.

Xu Chang’an had formed a Golden Core, and dissolving it normally would require an absurd amount of effort. Furthermore, it would require the aid of several types of Spiritual Items.

But with the help of the panel, the Golden Core melted with ease, gradually transforming into a nascent Spirit Infant.

The Heart Demon Pass!

Compared to the distracting thoughts that arose when breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, the Heart Demon of this trial was far more extreme.

It was on the level of a Heart Demon Illusion Realm.

However, Xu Chang’an had already settled his karma. He had walked his path without owing anyone or being owed anything.

He naturally passed this trial safely.

The final trial, the Thunder Tribulation Pass!

Only by passing this trial could the newly formed Nascent Soul possess true Spirituality.

The Thunder Tribulation for the Nascent Soul Realm only has three levels!

But even with only three levels! Even a fully prepared Great Cultivator at the Late-stage of Core Formation would not dare to claim with certainty that they could pass it.

RUMBLE~ RUMBLE~

Above the barren mountain where Xu Chang’an was, the sky began to change color.

Dark clouds gathered, threatening to unleash lightning and thunder!

The mighty roar sent the beasts of the barren mountain trembling in fear.

RUMBLE!

The First Level Thunder Tribulation!

It descended with supreme might.

Xu Chang’an was poised and ready.

The power of the First Level Thunder Tribulation was not to be underestimated. If compared to a Cultivator’s attack, it was roughly equivalent to a full-power strike from a Cultivator at the Peak of Late-stage Core Formation!

Most well-prepared Core Formation Cultivators could pass the First Level Thunder Tribulation.

To say nothing of Xu Chang’an.

A phantom image filled the sky, one hundred and twenty zhang tall!

It swung its sharp claws, meeting the thunder strike head-on!

BZZZT! BZZZT!

Sparks of lightning flashed!

Xu Chang’an had successfully passed the First Level Thunder Tribulation!

The Second Level Thunder Tribulation!

The might of this tribulation level had already reached a power unrivaled in the Core Formation Realm!

But naturally, this posed no threat to Xu Chang’an either.

As lightning flashed, he countered with his Talent Divine Technique, Lightning Flash.

The Third Level Thunder Tribulation!

Its might had already surpassed the domain of Core Formation Cultivators, faintly stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm!

It was because of this level of the tribulation that at least half of the Cultivators attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm failed with bitter regret!

Trying to resist an attack at the Nascent Soul Level while still in the Core Formation Realm was incredibly difficult, even with the help of a Secret Treasure!

However, Xu Chang’an’s combat strength was already comparable to the Nascent Soul Level!

"Break for me!"

Xu Chang’an roared.

His body suddenly expanded.

The cave he was in was instantly burst open.

RUMBLE!

The mountain began to crumble, with giant boulders continuously rolling down.

The phantom image in the sky instantly solidified.

A one-hundred-and-twenty-zhang-tall Purple-striped Thunder Rat!

A purple aura shone, and lightning flickered!

It blotted out the sky and sun, looking as if it could swallow the heavens!

BOOM!

The Thunder Tribulation descended, brazenly striking Xu Chang’an’s body.

BZZZZT~

Traces of blood appeared on Xu Chang’an’s Demon Body, but with the support of his Demon Power, he still managed to withstand this bolt of tribulation lightning.
