Chapter 756 Breakthrough Failed
The process of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is very slow.
It takes more time than building the foundation and forming the elixir.
This is normal.
There is a new level of cultivation every time.
With each level you cross, the difficulties and obstacles you face increase exponentially.
The difficulty of breaking through from Dan to Yuanying is countless times higher than that of breaking through from Qi to Foundation Establishment, and from Foundation Establishment to Dan!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
As the vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and earth roared, Lu Changsheng felt that not only the spiritual energy of Rongyue Island was affected, but his spiritual veins also began to tremble.
"Is this Master Jing Qing trying to reach the Nascent Soul?"
Yuanying is divided into human way, earthly way and heavenly way.
The human Yuanying is a normal breakthrough, where the pill is broken and the infant is formed.
During the breakthrough process of the authentic Nascent Soul, it is necessary to connect with the earth energy of the fourth-order spiritual vein, temper the body, magic power, soul, and meridians and dantian, so as to complete the process of breaking the pill and becoming an infant.
The spiritual veins were trembling at this time, most likely because Master Jing Qing had stirred up a large amount of earth vein energy.
Golden runes intertwined in Lu Changsheng's eyes, and he wanted to check the spiritual veins of the Goddess Palace.
But at this time, the mountain protection formation of the Goddess Palace was in operation, blocking the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Unless his pupil technique and dragon-hunting technique were further improved, it would be difficult to tell the true and false situation.
"Buzz!!!"
As the vibrations of his spiritual veins became more and more violent, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a tidal vortex of spiritual energy swirling above the Goddess Palace, surging with a mysterious spiritual inspiration from heaven and earth.
It was like a vague shadow of a Taoist priest emerged.
"This is... the appearance of Dan Suiying!?"
Lu Changsheng activated his fiery eyes and looked carefully at the shadow and the energy of heaven and earth. He knew that this was the golden elixir breaking and the Nascent Soul emerging!
There are three minor stages and three major stages in the process of forming the Dan and impacting the Yuanying stage.
The three minor levels are the physical body, magic power, and spiritual consciousness.
The three major hurdles are the shattering of the elixir and the birth of the infant, the heavenly thunder calamity, and the inner demon calamity!
At this time, through the Nascent Soul Qi above the Goddess Palace, Lu Changsheng realized that Elder Jing Qing had passed the three minor levels of the Nascent Soul and completed the first major level - the pill was broken and the Nascent Soul came out!
“This Elder Jing Qing is known as one of the most promising Nascent Soul cultivators on Penglai Island. He dares to attack the authentic Nascent Soul. He is indeed extraordinary and has a profound foundation. Even if it is not the Immortal Golden Pill, it is at least a second-grade Golden Pill. He is well prepared!”
Lu Changsheng admired in his heart.
Being able to achieve this step has already surpassed many Jindan cultivators.
Next, as long as the embryonic form of the Nascent Soul is stabilized and completely transformed into an Infant, and the calamity of heavenly thunder and inner demons is passed, the advancement to the Nascent Soul will be successful!
However, starting from this step, Yuanying will have no regrets and will only advance and never retreat!
If there are problems in the three minor stages of essence, energy and spirit, or even in the step of breaking the elixir and transforming into an infant, and the cultivator fails, he still has a chance to save his life, or even maintain his cultivation.
But once the pill is broken and the infant is formed, and one begins to face the tribulation of heavenly thunder and the tribulation of inner demons, there will be no way out.
Once you fail, you will die!
It is almost impossible to return the Nascent Soul to the Dan state!
"Elder Jing Qing's breakthrough to Nascent Soul was extremely smooth and he is well prepared. There is at least a 50% chance that he will break through to Nascent Soul next!"
At the same time, on the Goddess Peak, Shen Baishuang, who was paying attention to the breakthrough of Master Jing Qing, looked at this scene with a pleased expression.
Zhenren Jingqing is a direct descendant of the Goddess Palace.
If one can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it will definitely be a great joyous event for the Goddess Palace.
Just thinking of Elder Jing Qing's admiration for his younger sister, he once said that as long as he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he would propose to Shen Yiren to be a Taoist couple.
Now there is one more Elder Xuanmu in the palace.
This elder Xuanmu also has a good impression of his younger sister.
If I saw Elder Jingqing proposing to my younger sister, would I feel sad and choose to leave the Goddess Palace?
"Little sister, Elder Jingqing said that when you break through the Nascent Soul stage, he will invite you to be his Taoist partner. Do you plan to accept or refuse?"
Shen Baishuang looked to the side and saw a graceful girl with a beautiful and elegant face, wearing a green dress, standing side by side with her sister Shen Jianjia. She said with a smile.
"Don't joke, second sister."
Shen Yiren said softly, naturally knowing that Elder Jingqing loved her.
But in her opinion, the two people's personalities were not very compatible.
The process of getting along with each other was not even as comfortable and natural as that with Elder Xuanmu.
"hehe."
Her sister Shen Jianjia was beside her. Shen Baishuang did not joke too much. She just smiled faintly and continued to look at the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon not far away.
"Zizzi-"
When Elder Jingqing completed the process of breaking the pill and forming an infant, dark calamity clouds rapidly brewed in the sky and lightning rolled and surged.
For a moment, the entire Goddess Palace, and even the monks of Penglai Island, could not help but look at the mighty Jieyun, and a feeling of fear and anticipation surged in their hearts.
Lu Changsheng looked at the calamity clouds in the sky and shook his head slightly.
The heavenly tribulation of this Elder Jing Qing was not only inferior to the fourth-order heavenly tribulation of the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale, but was also inferior to his own body-refining heavenly tribulation.
However, the thunder tribulation is still brewing.
As Elder Jingqing's Nascent Soul spirit body grew, its power slowly increased.
When his Nascent Soul was completely nurtured and the magic power in his body began to transform into Nascent Soul magic power, the heavenly tribulation came with a loud bang.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The Nascent Soul Tribulation cuts through the sky and resounds throughout the heavens and earth.
Even though there was a formation blocking the way, Lu Changsheng could still see a vague outline.
One round!
Two rounds!
Three rounds!
There are nine levels of thunder tribulations, each one stronger than the last, and they seem to be destroying the heaven and earth.
Due to the isolation of the formation, Lu Changsheng only knew that Elder Jing Qing had survived the heavenly thunder tribulation, but he was not clear about the state of his Qi.
"The only thing left is the inner demon tribulation."
"As a Nascent Soul-level power, the Goddess Palace must have prepared a Heart Tribulation-type Nascent Soul spiritual item for Elder Jing Qing. It seems that this person has already secured his promotion to the Nascent Soul stage."
Although the inner demon calamity is extremely dangerous, it is even more difficult than the heavenly thunder calamity.
But as long as you have a pill like the [Demon-Breaking and Evil-Slaying Pill], you can weaken the power of the inner demon by half.
Moreover, this person has been able to reach this point and impact the Earthly Nascent Soul stage, so his state of mind is beyond doubt.
"Whoohoo-"
The sky and earth were swept by violent winds, the sky was filled with calamity clouds, and the arcs of thunder and lightning disappeared.
Instead, a whirlpool that looked like a pitch-black abyss appeared, like a demonic eye, overlooking the Goddess Palace.
Lu Changsheng saw that Elder Jing Qing's heavenly thunder tribulation was far inferior to that of the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale, but his inner demon tribulation was much stronger.
However, the inner demon tribulation is not like the heavenly thunder tribulation. Except for the person undergoing the tribulation, no one else can see what is going on.
Just like that, time passed little by little.
"The longer the Heart Demon Tribulation lasts, the smaller the chance of surviving it. Could it be that Master Jing Qing will fail in the Heart Demon Tribulation?"
Ten days later, Lu Changsheng saw that the inner demon calamity cloud in the sky of the Goddess Palace was still there, and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
It took the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale only half a day to overcome the inner demon tribulation.
Although the demon beast's inner demon tribulation is simpler, the gap is quite large.
"How come it's been ten days and Elder Jingqing hasn't gotten over his inner demon tribulation yet?"
On the Goddess Peak, Shen Baishuang looked at the dark clouds in the sky with a solemn and ugly expression.
Not only her, but also Shen Jianjia and Shen Yiren beside her, had solemn and worried expressions.
According to the experience of cultivators in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, if the inner demon tribulation lasts for more than seven days, it will be dangerous.
If it lasts more than ten days, it is likely to be dangerous.
At this moment, the entire Goddess Palace seemed to be covered with a layer of oppressive cloud.
Another five days passed, and the huge calamity clouds above the Goddess Palace began to dissipate with a loud bang, returning to the clear blue sky.
However, this sunny day cast a heavy, depressing and bleak cloud over all the monks in the Goddess Palace!
"Failed"
"Elder Jingqing failed to break through."
"Ugh"
Many monks from the Goddess Palace sighed and looked sad.
When the monks on Penglai Island saw this scene, some sighed, some felt sad, and some were happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Goddess Palace already has two Nascent Soul cultivators.
If there were one more True Lord Jingqing, the entire Penglai Island would become a one-man show.
“How could this be possible? Elder Jingqing was well prepared for his Nascent Soul this time. He had prepared the [Spring Thunder Pill to Overcome Evils] and the [Sea Coral Awakening Incense]. How could he fail at the stage of the Heart Demon Tribulation?”
When Shen Baishuang saw that Elder Jing Qing had failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, she clenched her jade fists tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.
For a direct descendant of the Goddess Palace like Zhenren Jing Qing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it is naturally not just his own business, but concerns the entire Goddess Palace.
In order to help him break through to the Nascent Soul stage as quickly as possible, the Goddess Palace spent a huge amount of money.
Not only did he prepare a [Nine-bend Elixir] for him, he also asked the Alchemy Alliance to refine a [Spring Thunder Elixir].
"Elder Jing Qing was trying to reach the Nascent Soul state in the underground tunnel, but he consumed too much energy in the heavenly thunder tribulation and was seriously injured, which led to the invasion of the inner demon and the failure of the tribulation."
Shen Jianjia spoke, sighed, and looked tired.
Whether Master Jing Qing breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage is extremely important to the Goddess Palace. It has a bearing on many of her future arrangements and she has high hopes for it.
Now, the latter's failure to break through has disrupted her plans.
"The injuries are too severe, and the inner demon has invaded."
Shen Baishuang was still very unwilling.
I thought I had made all the perfect plans, but I didn't expect Elder Jing Qing to fail at this stage.
After all, the latter was able to cultivate to this level, whether in terms of talent, ability, or character, his character is beyond doubt.
It's just a tribulation of the inner demon. Except for the person who is undergoing the tribulation, no one else knows what he has experienced or why he failed.
Shen Yiren, who was standing next to her, was also affected by Master Jing Qing's failure to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and was in low spirits.
Although she had no romantic feelings for the latter, the two had known each other for hundreds of years and had a strong friendship.
Moreover, over the past hundred years, Master Jing Qing has made many contributions to the Goddess Palace. Now that he has failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Goddess Palace has also lost a large number of top-level combat forces.
The next day, the news that Master Jing Qing had failed in his attempt to achieve Nascent Soul and had died spread quietly in the Goddess Palace.
Although the Goddess Palace chose to keep a low profile and tried to calm the situation, it was still discussed by many people.
On the one hand, Zhenren Jingqing is quite famous in the Goddess Palace.
He is known as one of the cultivators on Penglai Island who has the greatest hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
On the other hand, some people were secretly fanning the flames in an attempt to undermine the prestige of the Goddess Palace.
After all, the failure of the Nascent Soul breakthrough not only meant that the Goddess Palace had to spend huge resources and lose everything, but also lost a top-level Jindan cultivator.
When Yuanying Zhenjun does not act easily, this top-level Jindan cultivator will be the main force that determines the outcome of one side.
A few days later, Shen Baishuang came to Rongyue Island to visit and said that although Elder Jingqing failed in the Nascent Soul stage, the Goddess Palace still had enough Nascent Soul resources.
As long as Lu Changsheng performs well, he will have priority in obtaining Nascent Soul resources in the future.
He then hinted that his sister Shen Yiren had not been in a good mood recently, and Lu Changsheng could go and comfort her.
"."
Lu Changsheng heard the Second Palace Master's intention to win him over in his words, and suggested that he should have more contact with Shen Yiren.
He thought that the Second Palace Master was determined to bring him together with the Third Palace Master, and use this opportunity to tie him up in the Goddess Palace.
Although Lu Changsheng has a good impression of the beautiful and kind Third Palace Master.
But now he just wanted to survive until the ominous hexagram disappeared, and then return to Jiang State to visit his wife, concubines and children and prepare for the Nascent Soul.
"it is good."
Lu Changsheng responded verbally, and then asked Master Jing Qing with some curiosity about his breakthrough and why he failed to overcome the tribulation.
Shen Baishuang did not hide anything and told Lu Changsheng that when Master Jing Qing faced the heavenly thunder calamity, he was seriously injured, which caused him to be physically and mentally exhausted and invaded by inner demons.
"The injury is too severe."
Lu Changsheng suddenly realized and couldn't help feeling sorry for Master Jing Qing.
But this is how it is when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. If there is even the slightest mistake, there will be no recovery.
"Elder Xuanmu should be fully prepared when he reaches Nascent Soul stage in the future."
Shen Baishuang gave Lu Changsheng a few more instructions, so that he wouldn't be affected by Master Jing Qing's failure in reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
"Thank you for the reminder, Second Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng bowed in response, his face heavy.
After Shen Baishuang left, Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed, "Alas, a Jindan cultivator can live for 500 years, but in order to break through to the Yuanying stage, he died in one day and turned into ashes. It is really sad and lamentable."
At the beginning, Song Yudie had told him that Elder Jingqing was in love with the Third Palace Master and once he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he would propose a Taoist partner agreement to Shen Yiren.
But before he could meet Elder Jing Qing, the latter died in the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Lu Changsheng felt particularly emotional when he thought that he would also have to go through the Nascent Soul Tribulation in the near future.
“If this Jing Qing Zhenren had chosen the Human Yuanying, he might have succeeded in breaking through.”
Although the Yuanying of the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao has a more powerful foundation after the breakthrough.
However, these must be broken through and the realm must be stabilized before they can be gradually manifested.
However, the danger of impacting the underground tunnel and the Heavenly Dao Yuanying will be directly reflected in the process of breaking the pill to form an infant and overcoming the tribulation.
“However, except for a very small number of cultivators who are determined to fight to the death, all those who dare to reach the Nascent Soul stage are arrogant and full of confidence in themselves. They can reach the Earth Nascent Soul stage, so why would they choose the Human Nascent Soul stage?”
“Just like Master Mingsha, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides and whose entire sect depended on him, he still chose the authentic Nascent Soul.”
Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, and he understood the mentality of cultivators like Master Jing Qing very well.
Just like himself.
If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you can do so at any time.
But what he wanted was greater than that of all the monks.
Not only does he want to make an impact on the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul that countless cultivators dare not even dream of, he even wants to see if there are any levels above the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!
Although Lu Changsheng is not as eager to conquer the Third Palace Master as before.
But at Shen Baishuang's request, he still took the initiative to visit.
Shen Yiren was in a bad mood and was depressed. Not only did Master Jing Qing fail to overcome the tribulation and die, she felt heavy-hearted and also had a feeling of grief for the loss of a rabbit.
Her cultivation reached the peak of Jindan very early.
Over the years, he has been accumulating strength and waiting for the right opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Now seeing that Master Jing Qing, who is more outstanding than himself, failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, he is inevitably affected.
"The Third Palace Master"
Lu Changsheng spoke out to comfort him, saying that he also felt deeply moved when he saw Elder Jing Qing fail in his Nascent Soul breakthrough.
But if you ask for the way in the morning, you can die in the evening. You and I should take Elder Jingqing as an example, understand our own minds and nature, and make foolproof plans.
The two of them had similar levels of cultivation, and both practiced "health-preserving exercises", so they had a lot in common. Therefore, during the conversation, Shen Yiren felt an inexplicable resonance from Lu Changsheng.
"Third Palace Master, although Elder Jingqing has gone through many trials and tribulations and has a firm heart, it is precisely because of too many experiences that his mind may have too many flaws and may be easily invaded by the inner demons."
"In my opinion, Third Palace Master, you have a pure heart, untainted by dust, and are always contented and happy. You treat everything with a pure and peaceful attitude. Even if you haven't experienced too many hardships, with such a pure and open mind, you can easily overcome the inner demon calamity."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Although this statement is somewhat comforting, it is not entirely false.
According to Honglian, the inner demon calamity is strange and unpredictable, and it depends on each person's situation.
But it does not mean that the more hardships you experience, the more you will be able to overcome them.
Many times, some monks with pure hearts who are not involved in the world can easily overcome this calamity and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Just like the demon beast facing the calamity of transformation
"Why is it that everything becomes a good thing when it comes to Daoist Fellow Xuanmu? It makes sense to me."
After listening to Lu Changsheng's words, Shen Yiren smiled softly and said that her mentality became much calmer. She felt that there were many things she could learn from the elegant man in front of her.
"Third Palace Master, your words really embarrass me. Many things can be good or bad, it just depends on the angle from which you look at them."
Lu Changsheng chuckled, his expression gentle, his attitude elegant and easy-going.
After chatting for a long time, Lu Changsheng invited Shen Yiren to enjoy the scenery together on Penglai Island, which would make them feel better.
Soon the two of them walked out of the palace and strolled among the clouds, like close friends, having a very pleasant conversation.
During this process, in addition to discussing cultivation with Lu Changsheng, Shen Yiren also gradually came to understand his situation, and even his concepts and cognition.
You wouldn't know until you talk. Once you start talking, you'll find that not only in terms of spiritual practice, but also in terms of concepts and cognition, you're very similar. It's like you met me too late.
