Free Web NovelChapter 548: Chapter 501: Nascent Soul (5)
Jiang Yuebai’s mind went blank for a moment, then the alarm bell she had buried deep in her heart suddenly rang, waking her up.
Before forming a Nascent Soul, she would silently recite each day in her heart.
Anything that causes her fear and anger is a Heart Demon!
Day after day, this thought has been deeply imprinted in her soul, and when she experiences these two emotions, it’s when the Heart Demon strikes.
Jiang Yuebai quickly calmed herself, stabilized the Five Elements Formation, protected her Dantian filled with cracks, and activated the Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline to repair her Dantian.
She looked again at her Nascent Soul, still showing a terrifying appearance that made one’s scalp tingle.
Jiang Yuebai knew everything was the Heart Demon’s illusion, not real, yet she couldn’t sense where her true Nascent Soul was at this moment.
Everyone’s Heart Demon is different, and the situations they encounter are different.
Her Heart Demon attacked too cleverly, quietly striking just when she was about to break through to the Nascent Soul, almost deceiving her.
If she hadn’t awakened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Jiang Yuebai felt it strange; she was ninety-nine percent prepared, and even if a Heart Demon came, she could slap it away. How could she suddenly fall into such fear and helplessness?
Jiang Yuebai calmed down, her three Divine Thoughts reviewed every detail before the Heart Demon strike, and a spark flashed in her mind.
Zither Sound!
Qii Siheng!
The moment this name popped up, Jiang Yuebai had completely understood the whole situation.
It was Qii Siheng who discovered her attempt to form a Nascent Soul, lured the Fulong Sect to disturb her, and seized the chance to capture Ao Juan.
Biyou Palace’s appearance was also because of him, or perhaps he was instructed by Biyou Palace, seducing the Fulong Sect, then letting Biyou Palace use this to show favor to her, while also using Ao Juan to eliminate Fulong Sect’s elites?
Honestly, just now, Fuyu’s protection indeed moved her; in this world, nothing compares to the favor of saving one’s life.
Jiang Yuebai’s heart was pounding; no matter what, the current situation was temporarily favorable to her. Biyou Palace wanted to use gentle means to make her submit, so they would surely spare no effort to protect her at this moment.
This was her chance!
Break the Heart Demon, form the Nascent Soul, continue!
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath, facing her terrifying Nascent Soul. She knew this was forcing her to choose what she truly wants to become, which path to take.
Become human, a demon, transform into a dragon, or become a Heavenly Witch?
Jiang Yuebai didn’t know; she had thought carefully on countless days and nights about this question, with many answers but none truly convincing herself.
Before Foundation Establishment, she was enlightened by the Supreme Elder, saw the true self, needed to constantly surpass yesterday’s self, and chase tomorrow’s self, reaching the peak of the Immortal Path.
Now, she was facing enlightenment, confronting her truest nature.
Jiang Yuebai held her breath and closed her eyes to calm her thoughts. When she reopened them, a light of determination emerged from her eyes; she had made her decision.
Become human!
Born human, over half of the Upper Realm’s territories were under Human Clan’s control. Humans are the strongest and largest group in this world.
All rules and standards are set by humans, and anything that humans deem unacceptable is an outcast, struggling to survive in the Human Clan’s realm like the past Heavenly Witch and today’s Dragon Clan.
With survival being so difficult, how could one talk about cultivation?
Therefore, without a doubt, she must uphold the last essence of the Human Clan.
Follow the human path, practice the human method!
Crack!
The illusion before her shatters into pieces, the grotesque and terrifying Nascent Soul lets out a ghastly scream, suddenly exploding under Jiang Yuebai’s firm belief.
The clouds part and the mist disperses; Jiang Yuebai finally finds her true Nascent Soul, currently stretching and opening its eyes like a newborn infant with the Divine Infant in the Divine Elixir.
*
A hundred miles away, the battle is fierce.
Under the guidance of two Divinity Transformation True Venerables, Biyou Palace’s disciples fought bravely, and the dragons that accompanied them need hardly any guidance, fully committing to rescue Ao Juan.
With Biyou Palace’s assistance, attacking from inside and outside, the Trapped Dragon Great Array set by Fulong Sect was broken, and the group of dragons escaped.
Dongqiao pulled the Black Dragon beneath him to block, Ao Juan bit through the Black Dragon’s neck, the Divine Dragon’s tail whipped, hitting Dongqiao directly in the face, causing him to cough blood and fly backward.
Roar!!
Ao Juan roared in anger, and the dragon group charged out of the broken great array.
Tianyou closely pursued them, while Ao Juan turned back to block.
"Qiu Yun (Xuan Zhen) from Biyou Palace is here to assist!"
A male and a female Divinity Transformation Cultivator arrived from outside the array, standing on either side of Ao Juan. Each had a blazing Fire Dragon beside them, menacingly eyeing True Venerable Tianyou of the Fulong Sect and True Venerable Dongqiao, who was clutching his chest.
Ao Juan frowned, puzzlement flashing in his eyes, but the Fire Dragons beside True Venerable Qiu Yun and True Venerable Xuan Zhen let out low growls, informing Ao Juan they were indeed here to help him.
Tianyou’s face was as grave as water as he turned to look at Dongqiao.
Dongqiao was shocked, "Impossible, Qii Siheng made a blood oath with me, and he even consumed what I gave him..."
Only now did Dongqiao realize he had fallen for Biyou Palace’s scheme. Qii Siheng had spoken so convincingly that day, with swears and a heart-to-heart talk, all for this moment.
All his fault for being too eager under pressure from Star Lord Wuchang... A blunder!
The atmosphere was tense, on the verge of exploding into a great battle, when suddenly a rumbling roar came from the direction of Sea Edge, and the surging Thunder Elemental Power made even Divinity Transformation Cultivators feel excruciating pain, as if facing a formidable foe.
Everyone stopped, looking in terror at the distance.
They saw billowing thunderclouds surge in from beyond the sky, forming an extraordinarily vast vortex above the sealed sky of the Green Dragon Realm, stretching for thousands of miles, even covering the battlefield.
Unparalleled thunder radiance shone in the vortex, flowing like a river, spreading layer by layer outward, then turning into two distinct sides.
One black, one white.
Like two dragonfish, they swam slowly around the center of the vortex, stirring black and white electric lights that fell like rain, a black and white Tai Chi slowly forming beyond the sky.
The dragons wailed in sorrow, the little bits of thunder rain falling on the broken great array, which instantly burned to ash like paper meeting fire. Golden Core Cultivators merely touched a strand and their Spiritual Energy went haywire, causing them to vomit blood and fall.
The Protective Gang Qi of Nascent Soul Cultivators was also ineffective, swiftly corroded entirely by the thunder radiance.
True Venerable Tianyou raised his hand, black and white thunder radiance entered his body, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Tai Chi Yin Yang Thunder, the Great Dao’s thunder!"
The four Divinity Transformation Cultivators present were all incredibly shocked, as this thunder contained extremely pure Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Power, leaving cultivators below Divinity Transformation powerless to survive it.
But for Divinity Transformation-bound cultivators, this was a gift from the Great Dao, an absolute aid to cleanse their body of impurities and transform their internal power into the power of Heaven and Earth Yin Yang.
The four present had only heard of this thunder; when the current Realm Lord of Green Dragon Realm, now the Mahayana Immortal Monarch of Biyou Palace, transitioned from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation, he encountered a Tai Chi Yin Yang Thunder.
The Heavenly Grade Infant transformed into Yin Yang Dual Essence Spirits, and henceforth his path was unobstructed, his strength far surpassing that of the same level, leading him straight into the Mahayana Realm.
At this moment, the four had no desire for battle, all gazing solemnly at the impending Tai Chi Yin Yang Thunder.
Dongqiao’s mind raced, Jiang Yuebai had just formed her Nascent Soul, facing this thunder gave her less than a ten percent chance of surviving, a sheer waste of a gift from the Heavenly Dao.
Even if she successfully crossed this tribulation, her enmity with the Fulong Sect would surely make her a great enemy of the sect, and she must be eliminated while still in the cradle, no matter what.
Dongqiao, impatient by nature, couldn’t hold back any longer, raised his Tunneling Light, and rushed towards Jiang Yuebai’s Tribulation Crossing Land.
"Leave this place to Brother Tianyou!"
Ao Juan was burning with anxiety but didn’t chase, instead looking at the Tai Chi vortex beyond the sky, recalling Jiang Yuebai’s warnings.
This thunder, forming beyond the sky, would definitely split the confines of the Green Dragon Realm, and he must be ready to leave immediately!
Little Immortal Ganoderma, don’t let anything happen!
Aooo!!
Ao Juan launched a fierce resistance, preparing to charge toward the sky.
The two Divinity Transformation Cultivators from Biyou Palace also reacted, intending to pursue Dongqiao, but were forcefully blocked by Tianyou.
Tianyou’s gaze was cold and stern, as he waved his hand, tossing out ten great golden shining lock chains from his sleeve, with ten ferocious giant dragons materializing at their ends, their brutal eyes coldly fixed on Biyou Palace’s two Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
The two Divinity Transformation Cultivators remembered that Fuyu was over there, felt a bit relieved, and summoned the Fire Dragons beside them, joining forces to deal with Tianyou.
A great battle erupted again!
The Tribulation Thunder was fierce, the aftermath of the Divinity Transformation battle overwhelming, and the cultivators of the Fulong Sect had already been defeated and were powerless to fight, fleeing in disarray, causing chaos on the sea.
A female cultivator in blue, with a black cloth covering her face, fled from the melee, looking towards Jiang Yuebai’s Tribulation Crossing direction without hesitation.
The strong wind lifted the cloth, revealing Jing Chujun’s anxious face.
Everything happening here was part of Qii Siheng’s plot, his plans went beyond this, and his identity was not ordinary.
She had to tell Jiang Yuebai all about it, now, immediately!
