Chapter 1101 - 1101 1098

Chapter 1101: 1098 Chapter 1101: 1098 In the chaotic haze, the Spiritual Nature in the Golden Core grew stronger and it seemed something miraculous was gradually being nurtured.

Lu Xuan’s mind was at peace, as his whole body’s Spiritual Power, Divine Sense, and Essence poured into the Golden Core.

The Golden Core trembled slightly, rapidly merging the Essence, Qi, and Spirit within his body into one.

After the nascent form of the Nascent Soul was nurtured, the next step was to use all the Cultivator’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit to cultivate the Nascent Soul to completion.

In this process, if the accumulation was insufficient or if the flesh body and the Spiritual Power were not perfectly harmonious, it was very likely that he would fail at this stage and end in failure.

Lu Xuan was naturally unconcerned about this problem, focusing his mind entirely on nurturing the Spiritual Nature within the Golden Core.

The Spirit Gathering Array was fully activated, and massive amounts of pure Dense Spiritual Power stormed in like a tempest, entering Lu Xuan’s body, transforming into a nearly solid pale cyan Spiritual Liquid.

This continued for a full month.

“Such a long period of nurturing the Nascent Soul, it seems Disciple Lu has quite ample accumulations.”

Jian Huanzhen, who had been closely monitoring the activities in the Spirit land, relaxed slightly.

According to his knowledge, Lu Xuan mostly stayed in his Cave Abode cultivating Spirit Plants, placing actual cultivation in second place, and he worried that Lu Xuan might encounter an accident at this step.

Now seeing Lu Xuan successfully pass through, he felt much relief.

Inside the array.

As time passed, the Golden Core absorbing endless streams of Essence, Qi, and Spirit began showing miraculous changes.

A blurred figure of a tiny baby appeared.

Lu Xuan gazed at the three-inch baby inside the Golden Core, feeling an unexpected joy emerge in his heart.

The tiny baby seemed to sense this too, likewise transmitting a joyful thought.

Lu Xuan reined in his mind, his Divine Sense smoothly infiltrated the Golden Core, merging with the tiny baby.

If it were an ordinary Golden Core Completion Cultivator’s Divine Sense, it certainly wouldn’t be this effortless.

Initially, breaking through the isolation of the Golden Core was a significant challenge, and after entering the Golden Core, fusing with the nascent form of the Nascent Soul was also extremely difficult.

Lu Xuan’s Divine Soul had been tempered many times in Huangliang Village, and with the Stealing God Jade converting his Divine Sense in advance, thus he comfortably completed this step.

Gradually, the baby’s form and features became clearer, and the Golden Core pulsated non-stop, faintly conveying a sense of swelling.

“It’s time to break the Core to form the Baby.”

This thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.

After nurturing the Nascent Soul within the Golden Core, the next crucial step was to shatter the Core to form the Baby.

This step was highly risky, not only was there a high chance of failure, but there was also the possibility of severe injury or even death.

In the instant the Core shattered, the newly formed pure and naïve Nascent Soul could easily attract the invasion of Heart Demons.

After overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation, there was also the necessity to endure the heavenly cleansing of the Heavenly Tribulation, and only after withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation would one truly advance to the Nascent Soul.

Lu Xuan, with a thought, swallowed the Tribulation Pill that had been resting between his lips and teeth.

Moments later, a wisp of light black Spiritual Energy, like a ribbon, silently crept into the Golden Core, wrapping around the body of the tiny baby.

Protected by the Tribulation Pill, Lu Xuan felt quite reassured as he faced this difficult challenge.

Next, he poured all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit fiercely into the Golden Core.

A soft cracking sound.

A faint sound of something cracking echoed from the Qi Sea in the Core Field.

The shimmering golden Core Pills silently shattered, thousands of golden rays illuminating the Qi Sea in the Core Field brightly, and a tiny baby wrapped in a light black ribbon leapt out from the endless golden light.

Lu Xuan didn’t even have time to experience the joy of forming the Baby from the shattered Core as, silently within the array, wisps of black gas appeared.

The black gas seemed to grow directly within the array, ignoring all obstacles, and directly entered his body.

Dazed in his mind, Lu Xuan felt as if the scenery before his eyes shimmered like water, and he found himself in a simply furnished dwelling.

“Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan! You’ve been in debt for two months’ rent already, don’t blame me if I kick you out if you don’t pay up with Spirit Stones!”

A young “Cultivator” with a deep scar on his face, fierce as a malevolent spirit, violently kicked open the wooden door.

A straw figure with a large bump on its head and long, thin legs, moved unevenly toward the young “Cultivator”, shooting a gray-black straw rope from its chest, attempting to drive away the intruder who had entered its territory.

“Hmph! Can’t afford a Guardian Formation, can’t find a Guardian Spirit Beast, and you even settle for such a low-rank Puppet to guard the residence.”

The young “Cultivator” snorted coldly, a blade of wind flying swiftly, easily slicing through the gray-black straw rope.

The blade of wind did not slow down, leaving nearly a foot-long tear on the straw figure’s body, almost splitting it in two.

“Daoist Li, please grant me a few more days. The Spirit Grass I’m cultivating is about to mature; once I sell them for Spirit Stones, I’ll immediately pay the rent.”

Lu Xuan bowed his head, speaking in a humble tone.

“Spirit Grass?”

The young man glanced at the two small Spirit Fields nearby, and the sight of the slender Spirit Grass ignited a sinister look in his eyes.

“Perfect, I’ll just take them away to offset fifty shattered Spirit Stones.”

He flashed forward, ignoring Lu Xuan’s desperate pleas, uprooted all the Spirit Grass, and strode off.

Lu Xuan, feeling helpless and tearful, stared at the empty Spirit Fields, unmoving for a long time.

“Without the Spirit Grass, do I really have to risk my life hunting Demon Beasts in the Secret Land to earn Spirit Stones?”

“If I can’t earn the Spirit Stones, can’t afford the expensive rent, I’ll be expelled from the market.”

Determination flashed across his face.

The next day, after a brief preparation, he stepped into the wilderness with two familiar “Cultivators.”

…

“Will I venture out to explore the Secret Land?”

As a question echoed between heaven and earth, the entire world collapsed instantaneously, leaving only a few strands of black energy behind.

The black energy, like snow under the blazing sun, melted rapidly and soon dispersed into nothing.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Xuan found himself within a majestic palace.

He held absolute power over the entire palace, with the ability to decisively oversee the life and death of tens of thousands.

Inside the resting chamber, hundreds of exquisitely graceful and beautiful women were present, each with unique charm.

Each woman mastered various skills to serve those around them, making the heart and body joyful, linger in forgetfulness, wishing to eternally indulge in endless pleasure.

…

“Lying drunk on the knees of a beauty, wielding the power over the world!”

“This is the ultimate dream of many a man.”

“Unfortunately, in the face of the Great Dao, such power ultimately amounts to nothing.”

“So many beautiful women—it would be nice to enjoy them, but they are merely skeletons draped in peach blossoms.”

In the midst of power and allure, Lu Xuan opened his eyes.

In an instant, as if the real world’s entire realm silently collapsed, both power and glamorous allure dissipated into the vast dust.

Several faintly visible strands of black energy slowly drifted out, quietly dissipating in front of Lu Xuan.

Then subtly, a Heart Demon tried every means conceivable to find flaws in Lu Xuan’s will and Divine Soul.

Unfortunately, Lu Xuan’s Divine Soul had been tempered a thousand times, and even faced more temptation and fear in Huangliang Village than the current scene, thus he successfully overcame the tribulation of the Heart Demon.
