Chapter 1767: Chapter 1764: Just a Little Bit More

"Three years have passed, have there been any messages from Tian Nan Peak?"

In Shangqing Peak, Zhantai Chunqiu asked his chief disciple, Shangguan Long.

Shangguan Long quickly responded, "Not yet. All the peaks are keeping a close eye on this matter. Besides, people from the Shen family in Shifang City and West Phoenix Valley have come to see Junior Brother Yang Fei. After learning that Junior Brother Yang Fei is attempting Nascent Soul Formation, they didn’t linger and went back to send messages."

Zhantai Chunqiu snorted coldly, "They came to see Yang Fei merely to get more genetic liquid medicine from him. Hmph, even our Shang Qing Sect can’t get more in private, yet they think so highly of themselves."

Shangguan Long nodded in agreement, "Indeed. But it’s not their fault. The effect of the genetic liquid medicine is so defiant of the natural order that every cultivator desires to obtain enough of it, whether for their disciples, descendants, or themselves. With such a miraculous medicine, cultivators all over the world would want to pursue a higher Realm."

Zhantai Chunqiu silently nodded.

Not to mention others, even he himself was extremely eager for the genetic liquid medicine to have an effect on him.

He had been stuck at the Half Step Dao Unity stage for over eight hundred years, yet he’d never been able to take that most crucial step.

If the genetic liquid medicine could help him take that crucial step, he would become the first Unity Realm Stage strongman in the Southern Domain Cultivation World in nearly five thousand years.

In the current Southern Domain Cultivation World, there were three strongmen at the Half Step Dao Unity stage, including Wan Daorong, and all four had been using the genetic liquid medicine.

Wan Daorong had broken through because of the genetic liquid medicine, thanks to his Spirit Root talent being enhanced by the genetic liquid medicine. Zhantai Chunqiu, Shen Wanjing, and Lu Qiushang all felt an unprecedented urgency, feeling that Wan Daorong might surpass them and take the crucial step into genuine Harmonization.

Therefore, all three were extremely eager for the genetic liquid medicine to take effect on them, so as not to fall behind.

Of the three, Zhantai Chunqiu was the most anxious.

He had been using the genetic liquid medicine for a long time, yet it hadn’t had any reaction on him, making him very anxious.

Whether the genetic liquid medicine could take effect depended on the individual, with a high degree of randomness.

Zhantai Chunqiu had used it for many years without any effect and had begun to accept the fact that he couldn’t gain any benefit from the genetic liquid medicine.

But deep inside, he was unwilling to accept it.

He wondered if the total amount of genetic liquid medicine he used was too little.

If he could use more, perhaps a quantitative change might lead to a qualitative change.

Even if the hope was only one in ten thousand, he would never give up.

"Master, even though Junior Brother Yang Fei is exceptionally talented, with astonishing gifts, isn’t it too dangerous for him to attempt Nascent Soul Formation at such a young age? Won’t the Heart Demon Tribulation be too severe, making it harder and more dangerous than for other average cultivators?" Shangguan Long couldn’t help but say.

Zhantai Chunqiu nodded, "That is natural. He hasn’t experienced much of the birth, old age, sickness, and death of secular relatives, so he is much weaker than other cultivators attempting Nascent Soul Formation in severing worldly attachments. Therefore, during Nascent Soul Formation, the Heart Demon Tribulation he faces will be more intense."

Shangguan Long was worried, "Will there be danger for Junior Brother Yang Fei during this Nascent Soul Formation?"

Zhantai Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Even if accidents occur, it won’t lead to death and Dao extinction. Your Master Wan will be watching, otherwise, he wouldn’t allow him to attempt Nascent Soul Formation so early. Moreover, this kid should be the Child of Fortune from the Earth Plane World, someone with an extraordinary fortune, who might create unexpected miracles."

Shangguan Long shook his head silently, thinking that the concept of fortune was too mysterious.

At Daliang Peak, Xiao Shuhui and Cao Zhengyang were playing a game of chess.

"Brother Cao, do you think he will succeed?" Xiao Shuhui placed a piece, causing Cao Zhengyang to frown immediately as he studied the board, lost in thought.

After observing for a while, Cao Zhengyang casually pushed the board, scattering the pieces all over.

"You intentionally disturbed my mind, winning without honor."

Xiao Shuhui smiled helplessly, but was too lazy to argue. In terms of chess skills, he had always been the best among his fellow disciples; Cao Zhengyang had never beaten him, and losing today was just a routine occurrence.

"It’s been three years; he’s likely facing the toughest Heart Demon Tribulation." Cao Zhengyang said.

Xiao Shuhui nodded, "Attempting Nascent Soul Formation at such a young age is too exaggerated."

"Having experienced too little, he clings to and desires more things, which inevitably leads to heavier heart demons. Otherwise, with his Divine Sense talent, the probability of successful Nascent Soul Formation should be more than twice that of an average cultivator, and normally two years would be enough for success." Cao Zhengyang said.

Xiao Shuhui sighed, "Indeed, it’s been three years, and there’s still no news; I’m afraid of ominous..."

Cao Zhengyang glanced at him; Xiao Shuhui didn’t intend to finish that sentence and stopped in time.

"In my heart, I still hope he succeeds," Xiao Shuhui said.

Cao Zhengyang said, "Who doesn’t? Our Shang Qing Sect desperately needs fresh blood to grow quickly. If he succeeds this time, the road ahead is truly limitless, and even Shangguan Long would have to make way for him."

Xiao Shuhui’s expression changed slightly, then he nodded.

Under normal circumstances, Shangguan Long was supposed to take over from Zhantai Chunqiu and become the next Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect.

Because among that generation of disciples, Shangguan Long was unparalleled in terms of cultivation, character, and reputation among his peers.

But if Yang Fei succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation this time, then his future achievements would definitely surpass Shangguan Long.

In such circumstances, could Shangguan Long, as the next Sect Master, suppress Yang Fei?

Instead of that, while they’re both still strong, it’s better to plan ahead and cultivate Yang Fei anew.

To the Shang Qing Sect, as long as Yang Fei could smoothly achieve Harmonization in the future and even enter the higher Transcendance Tribulation Stage, becoming a genuine quasi-immortal, then even if he wasn’t a native Southern Domain cultivator, he’d have enough qualification to lead the Shang Qing Sect.

After all, the Cultivation World respects strength above all.

As long as Yang Fei could achieve a Cultivation Realm that overwhelms others, no one would oppose him becoming Sect Master.

"Even though he hasn’t succeeded yet, neither has he failed. Being able to resist the Heart Demon for so long, his mind truly is indestructible. I believe he will succeed." Xiao Shuhui suddenly said.

Cao Zhengyang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Indeed. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it appears, but it also proves his willpower is strong enough. Once he gets through this, if he really reaches the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and proves the Immortal Realm, it will be somewhat easier."

Xiao Shuhui’s eyes gleamed, nodding in agreement, "Yes, the stronger the Heart Demon Tribulation this time, the relatively easier the true Immortal Tribulation will be in the future."

Three months later, in Shifang City, at the Shen family.

After Shen Wanjing consumed the genetic liquid medicine offered by Earth this time, he felt the foundational damage he suffered in his early years from defying heaven was almost completely healed, as if he was just a hair’s breadth away from perfect restoration.

"Just a little bit more."

Shen Wanjing muttered, a determined look flashing in his eyes.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

He must seize this opportunity to fix his foundation once and for all.

By his calculations, that kid should be coming out of seclusion soon.

His body melted into the secret room, disappearing without a trace.
