Chapter 1769: Stepping Into the Inner Circle

Chapter 1769 -1766: Stepping Into the Inner Circle

The humanoid energy body that Yang Fei was refining became increasingly bright and distinct.

His own gaze also grew incredibly resolute, as clear as a mountain spring.

The conscious body constructed by his powerful divine sense gradually became solid and stable.

Yang Fei focused his mind and cautiously reinfused this conscious body into the humanoid energy body.

The two began to merge together, no longer repelling each other as in countless previous failures, but instead gradually blending, assimilating into one, almost indistinguishable.

Yang Fei was overjoyed, but he dared not relax, still concentrating his divine sense, cautiously guiding their fusion.

Time passed by the second, and Yang Fei did not know how long it had been until suddenly he felt his divine sense lighten and his whole body relax.

The humanoid energy body seemed to come to life, finally becoming a living being.

Those eyes trembled lightly, slowly opening.

The Nascent Soul Body was complete!

This was a small figure about thirty centimeters tall, looking exactly like Yang Fei, except much smaller, a perfect miniature Yang Fei.

Yang Fei’s divine sense moved, easily connecting with the consciousness of this Nascent Soul Body, which was both an independent special entity and completely obedient to Yang Fei’s command, able to be controlled at will.

But it’s not a puppet.

It’s more like he has nurtured another life.

Indeed.

This is Yang Fei’s unique second life.

Yang Fei felt that even if his physical body died now, as long as this Nascent Soul Body survived, he would also live.

The soul and consciousness truly became undying and imperishable.

Nascent Soul Stage!

He had finally broken through, successfully stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, becoming a cultivator truly accepted in the cultivation world.

From this day forward, when he walked out, others would have to respectfully address him as True Monarch.

However, at the very moment when Yang Fei’s Nascent Soul Body fully formed, a majestic heavenly power suddenly descended from the sky.

Wan Daorong, who was guarding the door, suddenly stood up, gazing solemnly toward the sky.

The Small Heavenly Tribulation was here!

Was it completed?

Wan Daorong was both shocked and delighted.

Delighted because the arrival of the Heavenly Dao recognized it, indicating that Yang Fei was truly entering the realm of cultivation.

Shocked because the pressure from this Small Heavenly Tribulation seemed rather unusual.

Tantai Chunqiu instantly flashed into view.

Immediately, Guanglingzi, Xiao Shuhui, and Cao Zhengyang also appeared one after another.

Disciples from the various peaks of the Shang Qing Sect all looked up at the sky, their faces revealing expressions of astonishment and doubt.

“Small Heavenly Tribulation?”

“It accompanies the formation of a Nascent Soul, but the power of this Small Heavenly Tribulation seems somewhat extraordinary.”

“Indeed, this pressure is too strong, as if the Heavenly Dao is angry, not allowing this person to successfully cross the tribulation.”

“It seems that among Shang Qing Sect’s recent Nascent Soul formations, only that Junior Brother from Tian Nan Peak is there.”

“To draw such a formidable heavenly tribulation challenge, this Junior Brother Yang truly seems to be a talent of unnatural brilliance.”

Everyone held their breath, watching the increasingly terrifying heavenly power on high.

Thunder rumbled, and bolts of lightning like silver dragons continuously tore through the sky.

Though this Small Heavenly Tribulation’s pressure was not directed at them, everyone, including Tantai Chunqiu and Wan Daorong and other top experts, dared not underestimate the energy of this pressure.

“I wonder if he can withstand it,” Tantai Chunqiu said deeply.

Wan Daorong clenched his fist, his gaze unwavering: “He will succeed.”

Guanglingzi nodded as well: “This kid has a resolute Dao Heart, he will definitely manage.”

Xiao Shuhui and Cao Zhengyi also nodded in agreement, hoping for Yang Fei’s success, yet deeply anxious inside.

The Small Heavenly Tribulation is termed ‘small’ merely because its power is terrifying; those experiencing it cannot receive external aid, but must withstand it alone.

Success means instantly entering the tier of Nascent Soul realm powerhouses; failure could mean death and disintegration, or at best, loss of cultivation, becoming a useless person.

This is a significant test of a cultivator’s Dao Heart.

In the secret chamber, as Yang Fei felt the vast pressure descend, he felt chills down his spine, remaining on high alert.

He knew the final test for Nascent Soul formation had arrived.

This pressure from the Small Heavenly Tribulation targeted a cultivator’s Dao Heart, not raining down heavenly fire or thunder to temper the cultivator’s body, but requiring the cultivator’s mana to resist it, as it continuously pounded the Dao Heart.

In just an instant, Yang Fei felt as if thunder and lightning struck his heart, followed immediately by the scorching of heavenly fire and thunder, ravaging his will and Dao Heart.

Damn!

Yang Fei cursed under his breath.

He felt his Dao Heart almost shatter.

At the same time, the newly refined Nascent Soul Body also became transparent, as if it might disintegrate and vanish at any moment.

Fortunately, he was prepared and managed to hold firm.

The next part was a direct confrontation between his Dao Heart and the heavenly power.

Although it lasted only the time for a cup of tea, for Yang Fei it felt like enduring endless years, with the agony almost driving him to collapse and consider giving up many times, yet ultimately he endured and held on.

His Nascent Soul Body became even more vibrant and refined, like a child recently born, growing stronger over months.

The majestic heavenly power finally dispersed.

Yang Fei opened his eyes.

He looked down, seeing a small figure emerge before him.

This small figure was a mysterious energy body structure over fifty centimeters tall, scaled down to Yang Fei’s proportions.

With a thought, he absorbed the Nascent Soul Body into himself, making it disappear.

Hahaha, it finally succeeded.

Yang Fei felt ecstatic.

Though he always believed his talent was extraordinary, making Nascent Soul formation no great challenge, after going through this arduous process, he realized the difficulty.

The cultivation path is against the heavens, and no matter how outstanding you are, there is always a risk of premature end along the journey.

Throughout the long history of the cultivation world, there have been many cultivators with higher talent than Yang Fei, but very few reach the ultimate end.

Heaven and earth care not for all beings, treating them as straw dogs; no one dares claim to be the favored child of the Heavenly Dao.

Nonetheless, he had finally stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, truly entering the realm.

“Fei’er, are you alright?”

Wan Daorong’s concerned voice reached his ears.

Yang Fei calmed himself, sensing that the layers of restrictions around the secret chamber had dissipated, his master Wan Daorong, Sect Leader Uncle Tantai Chunqiu, and the other three uncles were waiting outside in concern.

In the distant sky, various figures hovered overhead, all focusing intently on him; clearly, this Nascent Soul formation drew great attention, attracting the notice of the majority of the Shang Qing Sect’s cultivators.

At that moment, he couldn’t inspect his increased mana or enhanced divine sense, hastily tidying his appearance before stepping out of the closed-off chamber.
