Chapter 72 Nascent Soul Formation
When the group discovered the strange phenomenon of spiritual energy, many cultivators in the market of Miaoyin Island also witnessed this tremendous change in the world!
The white-bearded elder and his companion, along with Zhou Yuan, were all Core Formation cultivators. They were also more than a hundred miles away from the center of the spiritual energy phenomenon, so they were naturally able to withstand the spiritual pressure.
However, those low-level cultivators didn't have it so easy.
Those at the Foundation Establishment stage and above fared better; although the spiritual pressure made them physically uncomfortable and mentally uneasy, they were still able to maintain their composure.
However, the majority of the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage suffered greatly, clearly feeling an immense spiritual pressure. Without exception, they were all panting heavily, their breathing rapid like bellows. In particular, some cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining were pressed to the ground by this spiritual pressure and were unable to get up.
Terrified, the cultivators immediately sat down to meditate and practice breathing exercises, trying their best to resist the spiritual pressure.
Not only within Miaoyin Island, but also outside the island, many cultivators felt this tremendous change.
Although they could not witness this scene, they all sensed the violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to varying degrees.
However, the vast majority of cultivators did not know what this strange phenomenon of heaven and earth represented.
However, the two Core Formation elders of Chiyang Sect and Zhou Yuan saw through it.
Zhou Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement; though she tried to restrain herself, she couldn't hide the joy in them.
"That's great! Elder Wen is about to form his Nascent Soul! Our Miaoyin Sect will rise to prominence in the future!" Although Zi Ling, Wen Tianren, and the others did not tell her that Wen Tianren was going into seclusion to form his Nascent Soul during this period.
However, among the people on Miaoyin Island, only Wen Tianren possesses such strength, and Zhou Yuan also knows that Wen Tianren has been in seclusion for a long time.
"Senior brother... could it be!"
Beside the white-bearded old man, the burly man's voice trembled, his tone filled with shock and envy.
Even though they had already formed some judgments in their minds, they still seemed hesitant to fully believe it.
"That's right, it seems that's what you thought!"
"On this Myriad Sounds Island, there is a cultivator currently condensing his Nascent Soul! Moreover, he has reached the final stage; once he crosses this threshold, he will become a Nascent Soul cultivator."
The white-bearded old man stared intently at the center of the spiritual phenomenon, his tone quite fervent.
Although the old man was only a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, there was also a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Crimson Sun Sect.
The old man had seen this scene when he was young, and although it was not as terrifying as it is today, he would never mistake it for the Nascent Soul stage.
When he was a young boy, he saw this celestial phenomenon and vowed to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Unfortunately, although he has remarkable talent and has become a Core Formation cultivator, he is still far from reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and his lifespan is now almost over.
"Senior brother, could this person who has reached the Nascent Soul stage be...?!"
The burly man transmitted his voice to the white-bearded old man beside him, while subtly glancing at Zhou Yuan.
Seeing her barely concealed surprise, I became even more certain of my guess.
The white-bearded elder naturally noticed Zhou Yuan's expression and transmitted his voice, "It seems to be Elder Xiao of the Miaoyin Sect. This person was able to kill many invading Core Formation cultivators in succession, but I didn't expect him to have come to this."
Elder Bai Xu had heard of Wen Tianren's status in the Miaoyin Sect. He publicly killed several rogue cultivators who later came to invade, thus deterring others from coveting Miaoyin Island.
Previously, he had tried to overestimate Wen Tianren, considering him a top expert in the Core Formation stage, but he never expected that Wen Tianren would reach the Nascent Soul stage so soon.
"Never mind that for now! Opportunities to witness a Nascent Soul cultivator's advancement up close are rare! I have no hope in this lifetime, but you, Junior Brother, still have a chance. If you are fortunate enough to witness such a celestial phenomenon in the future."
The white-bearded old man sighed almost imperceptibly and spoke to the burly man.
Upon hearing this, the burly man stopped thinking about it, held his breath, and used his divine sense to continuously comprehend everything, afraid of missing a single second.
At this moment, more and more spiritual light appeared above Wen Tianren's cave.
In just a few breaths, the sky over a radius of more than a hundred miles was filled with boundless, colorful clouds.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled within the rosy light, and the rosy clouds surged wildly towards the cave above, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Above the cave, a giant ball of light, several miles in size, gradually formed, its dazzling light so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it.
"Boom!"
A deafening clap of thunder resounded, causing the mountain range where Wen Tianren's cave was located to shake violently!
Immediately, a beam of purple light shot out from the cave below, heading straight for the light sphere in the sky and piercing its center.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically. Dark clouds surged around the ball of light, and wind, rain, thunder, and lightning raged around it!
The sphere of light continued to shrink, and the multicolored light at its center flickered, becoming increasingly dazzling.
Before long, the ball of light condensed into a fist-sized, crystal-clear bead, emanating a surge of spiritual energy that stopped many cultivators who wanted to approach and observe the celestial phenomena. Their expressions changed drastically as they retreated one after another.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the round bead suddenly exploded, transforming into a ball of multicolored spiritual light several meters in diameter. Then, like a shooting star falling to earth, it swiftly disappeared into the mountains in the blink of an eye.
The strange phenomenon abruptly stopped.
In an instant, the strange phenomena of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning that had been in the sky disappeared as if they had never existed.
"laugh!"
Then, a purple-gold rainbow several miles long was slashed out from the mountains, clearing away the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky and restoring clear skies.
"hold head high!"
A dragon's roar echoed from the mountains! It soared straight to the heavens, causing the world to change color.
A humanoid figure of light, hundreds of feet tall, appeared above the mountain range.
This humanoid phantom was as thick as a mountain, with incredibly strong hands and feet, and an astonishing aura emanated from every move it made.
The face of this humanoid phantom was so brightly lit with purple-gold light that it was impossible to see its features clearly.
Even so, when they saw this humanoid phantom, everyone still felt a dignified and awe-inspiring presence that made them feel awe!
The next instant, the light and shadow nodded slightly, and two chilling gazes swept down towards the ground below!
The cultivators who were swept by that gaze instantly held their breath, barely daring to breathe.
It's not just those low-level cultivators who are at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages.
The cultivators with higher cultivation levels, like the two elders of the Crimson Sun Sect, although they maintained their standing posture, began to tremble slightly, their resistance extremely strained.
Just as these cultivators were trembling with fear and secretly lamenting their misfortune, the giant human figure finally transformed into a sky full of starlight and dissipated.
The crowd stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
……
Meanwhile, inside the cave where Wen Tianren was located...
Wen Tianren sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his crown trembled slightly, and a miniature baby, about two inches tall, emerged.
The baby was about two inches tall, surrounded by a purple glow, fair and tender, and looked exactly like Wen Tianren.
It was Wen Tianren's newly formed Nascent Soul!
According to the texts Wen Tianren obtained from Tianjing Sanren and others, the nascent souls of cultivators who have just formed their Nascent Souls are generally only about an inch in size, and only change as their cultivation level advances.
Wen Tianren's newly formed Nascent Soul was over two inches long, far exceeding those of his peers, and was comparable to that of a typical mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It was truly unbelievable!
The nascent soul crawled around the room, laughing and frolicking. It would touch the jade bottle one moment and poke the array plate the next, having a great time.
After a long while, seemingly tired, it yawned, transformed into a purple light, and returned to Wen Tianren's body.
Then, Wen Tianren's eyes regained their luster, and he chuckled: "Finally, I've become a Nascent Soul cultivator. I won't have to hide like this anymore. This inner demon is really interesting; it can even reveal things from my previous life. I really miss it."
The last stage was Wen Tianren's journey to overcome his inner demons. With Wen Tianren's powerful divine sense, coupled with his cultivation of the Ice Soul Fairy's Mind Concentration Technique and Heart-Clearing Elixir, the inner demon illusion did not trap Wen Tianren.
During his inner demon tribulation, Wen Tianren experienced all the joys and sorrows, as if he were in a cycle of reincarnation.
There are scenes of being captured by the Six Paths and refined into incarnations, scenes of losing one's system and experiencing the pain of a cultivator's lifespan ending, and scenes of being succumbed to the allure of gentle pleasures and being dragged into the abyss by boundless desires...
However, during his journey to overcome his inner demons, Wen Tianren also experienced the life of a super-rich person on Earth, surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women.
After reminiscing for a while, when he finally broke through his inner demons and his soul returned to his body, he found that his nascent soul had been successfully condensed. A huge amount of multicolored spiritual light gathered and refined his nascent soul.
