Chapter 130: Great Advancement of the Soul, Overcoming the Tribulation and Forming the Infant

Black Wind Market.

In a room in an attic, stood a group of monks from the Wanjian Sect.

"Still haven't found the remains of the Blood Crocodile Ancestor?"

Luo Chengsheng looked helplessly at his fellow disciples who had reached the Jindan stage, as well as a group of nephews who had reached the foundation-building stage, and sighed slightly.

"Brother, apart from the spheres of influence of the several major demon kings, we have searched almost all of the Black Wind Mountains bordering the Qingyun Sect, and have not found anything suspicious."

A junior brother in a green robe who had reached the Jindan stage stepped forward and responded.

"Uncle-master Yuheng is the same. He saw a few words in the ancient books of our sect and asked us to rush to the Black Wind Mountains to look for the remains of the demon clan. I don't know what he was thinking." Someone complained.

Luo Chengsheng's face turned cold and he scolded, "How dare you! Do you think you have the right to criticize Master Uncle?"

"However, since most places have been checked, we are just waiting for news from other fellow disciples. If there is still no discovery, we will have to ask Uncle Master to come in person."

Luo Chengsheng knew clearly that there was an agreement between the human and demon races, and even his Yuanying uncle would not easily set foot in the Black Wind Mountains unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, up to now, the search has been fruitless, and they do not have the courage to step into the territories of the several demon kings, so they can only ask their uncle to go there.

"By the way, Senior Brother, I heard recently that there is an auction of Condensing Crystal Pills in Lihuo Region." The junior brother in green robe reminded.

"Oh? Crystal Condensing Pill?"

Luo Chengsheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then he shook his head gently, saying: "A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Of course, it may fall into the hands of Lihuo Palace in the end."

Even for the Wanjian Sect, which has several Nascent Soul cultivators, the Crystal Condensing Pill is a relatively rare resource. However, they have come from afar and may not be able to compete with the Lihuo Palace.

"Brother, you may not know this, but I got the news that a mysterious person took out three pills at once!"

"Three!"

Luo Chengsheng looked thoughtful, and was obviously somewhat interested.

I heard that there is a descendant of Uncle Yuheng who is deeply loved by him, but his aptitude is low and he has failed to form a pill three times. He is now preparing for the fourth time.

If he could capture even one and bring it back to the sect, and if by chance he could help it form a pill, he would definitely be favored by his uncle-master.

As someone who has reached the perfect stage of Jindan and has no master, if the other party can give him some support, he will have a better hope of forming an Infant Soul in the future.

"Okay! Let's go to the Lihuo Region first, and after we take the photo of the Condensing Crystal Pill, we will contact our uncle."

Luo Chengsheng was immediately overjoyed and made the decision.

Dongfuzhong.

Chen An slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual energy around him suddenly shook and stopped entering his body. Suddenly, a strong aura of magical power emanated from him.

Over two years, he refined three immortal tree fruits and reached the level of perfect elixir formation!
More than a year ago, Chen Weiyang used the power of the Chen family in Lihuo Domain to widely publicize the upcoming auction of the Condensing Crystal Pill. After this period of preparation, Lihuo Domain attracted a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, including many Core Formation cultivators. It is unknown whether there were any Nascent Soul cultivators who secretly went there for the sake of their younger generations.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen An called Chen Qing over.

He ordered: "During this period of time, move all the people on the mountain out. Without my order, no one outside the Chen family is allowed to approach Yunwu Mountain within a hundred miles!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Chen Qing's face lit up with joy, it finally came to this.

"By the way, how are the Dongzhou monks in the market doing? Are they still traveling to the Black Wind Mountains?"

Chen An asked, although he was not afraid of the other party, this small hidden danger had to be eliminated if possible.

"After I deliberately spread the news about the Crystal Condensing Pill in the market, they had already set off for the Lihuo Region a year ago and completely disappeared in the Qingyun Region. Just rest assured."

Chen Qing recounted the achievements of the past few years.

After all, Chen An Ningying was involved in a serious matter, so he couldn't be careless at all.
"well done."

Chen An said with satisfaction: "Go and disperse the tribesmen as soon as possible."

After Chen Qing said goodbye and left, Chen An continued to practice.

However, his cultivation had reached perfection and there was no further progress to be made, so he focused on his spirit and soul.

With a solid foundation in the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, and several years of diligent practice of the magic formula, his soul has reached the second level of the Nascent Soul, and is about to reach the third level.

Just one more step and you can start to condense the infant.

Immediately, Chen An sent a message to call Chen Shuang, who was practicing diligently, into the cave.

Chen Shuang seemed to be at the critical point of breakthrough. She stopped practicing and came in with a pout, looking quite aggrieved.

As Yu Linglong grew older, the two complemented each other, and Chen Shuang's cultivation progressed rapidly. He was actually already trying to reach the ninth level of foundation building. He was only slightly weaker than Chen Long, the other member of the Chen family who had the most hope of forming a pill.

"Don't practice for now, and quickly follow Chen Qing down the mountain. Oh, and bring the black-haired beast with you." Chen An instructed the man and the beast.

Hearing this, Chen Shuang's pretty face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes were full of ripples, looking even more aggrieved: "Elder, are you going to drive me away? I know that I have done nothing here for these years, just using the spiritual land to practice."

"However, in addition to my training, I have also been secretly studying alchemy. Although I haven't had time to practice it yet, I am quite familiar with the theory. Don't worry, after I have formed the elixir, it will definitely be useful to you. Don't chase Shuang'er away."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The black-haired beast tilted its head and looked at Chen Shuang in confusion, as if it didn't quite understand why she was so excited.

Chen An was speechless when he saw her pitiful appearance, but at the same time he was also surprised that she actually had free time to study alchemy.

He was about to explain, but his eyes flashed and he smiled, "How about this, you go to Chen Qing and ask for a set of alchemy furnace and spiritual medicine for your use. If you can refine a furnace of second-level elixirs, I will let you stay here to continue practicing."

"real!"

Chen Shuang burst into laughter and said happily: "Then you can't regret it!"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"That's true."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chen Shuang's eyes turned into crescent shapes. He then led the black-haired beast and walked briskly out of the cave.

Now that the matters at Kuxiu Mountain were settled, Chen An could continue to practice the Soul Refining Technique with peace of mind.

time flies.

In less than a year, his spirit and soul had reached the third level of Nascent Soul.

Having reached this point, Chen An could no longer continue to improve his soul.

He had already vaguely felt that if his soul continued to grow stronger and exceeded his cultivation level too much, his body would not be able to bear it.

Before your physical training reaches the intermediate third level, you can only practice to this extent.

Of course, if one advances to the Nascent Soul stage, it is also possible with powerful cultivation.

But if one wants to cultivate to a higher spiritual realm with low cultivation level, the only way is to strengthen the physical body.

After thinking for a moment, Chen An left the cave.

On this mountain of asceticism where he was the only one left, he walked leisurely, reminiscing about the past.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where he used to live.

Looking at the familiar place, the scenes of cultivating spiritual plants in the yard in the past emerged in my mind. At that time, I was a neighbor of Chen Fengshuo, asked Chen Fugui for advice, blackmailed Chen San, captured Liu Zhen, destroyed the Liu family, and later fought against the evil ways.

While reminiscing, Chen An walked slowly through all the familiar places on Kuxiu Mountain.

As he walked, he came to the top of the mountain. Looking at the attic and the one-acre spiritual field in front of him, his heart moved slightly, and he jumped lightly to the top of the attic.

He let go of his consciousness, sensing the breath of all creatures on and outside the mountain. Even his consciousness had extended to the low mountain next door, and the noisy voices of the Chen family cultivators emerged in his heart.

"What happened to Chen Qing? He was practicing well, why did he drive us all out?"

"It's not Chen Qing, it seems to be the order of the farming elder."

"Well, that makes a lot more sense. The elder must have some deeper meaning."

“Maybe it’s going to be a breakthrough again.”

Chen Shuang held a jade slip of alchemy in her hand, fiddling with the alchemy furnace and elixir in front of her, and listening to the discussions of the tribesmen around her. Even if she was stupid, she understood that the elder was not trying to drive her away, but that she might be about to make a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt pressured and immediately put away the jade slip, concentrating on processing the elixir and starting to refine the pill.

At the same time, she pursed her red lips and said with a firm look in her eyes: "The elder is already so strong and is still making progress. Shuang'er can't hold him back!"

Feeling the changes around him, Chen An felt more and more peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes and felt that his physical and mental states had reached their peak.

He then leaped forward, transformed into a rainbow of light, and headed towards the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy on Kuxiu Mountain.

He sat in front of the cave, took out a fairy tree fruit with rich spiritual energy, looked at the spiritual energy flowing on it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The next moment, spiritual power flowed through the meridians throughout the body like a rushing river, almost overflowing.

Chen An immediately practiced the Infant Condensation Technique of the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation and began to concentrate on breaking through.

As the technique was put into practice, the spiritual energy above the North Mountain surged, and suddenly the wind began to rise, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.

With Kuxiu Mountain as the center, spiritual energy within hundreds of miles swarmed in. Under the agitation, more than a dozen spiritual power vortices formed above the North Mountain, madly swallowing up the surrounding spiritual energy, almost sucking it all out.

Fortunately, spiritual energy from farther away rolled in to fill the gap here.

A large amount of spiritual energy flowed violently, creating gusts of wind that caused the dust outside the Kuxiu Mountain to fly and the grass to break. Many cultivators could not even open their eyes.

The foundation-building cultivators can still barely bear it, but the Qi-cultivating cultivators can hardly bear it.

Chen Qing acted decisively and activated the formation that had been set up around the low mountain. With the protection of the formation's light shield, they felt better.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, the Chen family monks who were standing on the low hill and watching opened their eyes wide with looks of shock.

Only the veteran figures who had witnessed Chen An forming the Dan in the past performed slightly better, but they also stared with bated breath, not even breathing.

Dongfuzhong.

Chen An swallowed two fairy tree fruits in succession. The dark golden elixir in his dantian was spinning around, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy that was pouring in.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but the golden elixir seemed to have reached its limit, and with a "crack", a fine crack appeared on its surface.

Seeing this, Chen An was not worried but happy. He understood that the process of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage had now officially begun.

At the same time, he also felt a surge of vitality inside the golden elixir slowly emerging from the crack.

Just as Chen An was about to swallow another immortal fruit to add more supplies to the process of breaking the pill and becoming an infant, the dark clouds high in the sky of Kuxiu Mountain were quietly changing.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, bursts of roars were heard, and lightning flashed, making the area near Kuxiu Mountain look like a hell on earth.

After brewing for a long time, a golden light suddenly flashed above Chen An's head. Then, a golden lightning strike came from the sky like a golden dragon, aiming directly at Chen An's head.

Chen An's heart sank. It's finally here!

He was still sitting in front of the cave, and round beads flew out from his body. They were water-fixing beads. There were more than a dozen beads in a string, which flew straight into the sky to meet the thunder tribulation.

This magic weapon has brought me a lot of benefits over the years, and it is just right for using it to resist thunder tribulations.

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the golden thunderbolt fell, several sets of third-order Taiyin Water Element Formations set up by Kuxiushan collapsed. Without any restraints, a large amount of spiritual plant aura from the North Mountain was slowly overflowing.

The first water bead also shattered and turned into powder.

The second one followed closely, and it was not until three water-fixing beads were destroyed that the thunder tribulation was reduced by more than half, becoming visibly weaker with the naked eye.

Chen An felt a little relieved when he saw this, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He ordered the rest of the Dingshui beads to guard the sky tightly to prevent the thunder from falling again.

Despite such strict defenses, a trace of lightning still penetrated into the body and reached the crack on the golden elixir in the dantian.

As if stimulated by a thunder tribulation, the golden elixir began to shake violently, and the crack on the top became wider and wider.

Not long after, a small head made of spiritual power emerged, and it looked very similar to Chen An.

This is Chen An’s Nascent Soul!

To break the pill and become an infant, one not only needs a huge amount of spiritual energy to support it, but also needs to endure the baptism of heavenly tribulation before one can truly break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and achieve the Nascent Soul.

The tiny Nascent Soul popped its head out and saw the spiritual energy constantly pouring in from the Dantian. It wanted to grab it, but found that its hand was still inside. Its little face suddenly became angry, and it redoubled its efforts to get out of the Golden Elixir.

Seeing that it was difficult for the Nascent Soul to break through, Chen An did not hesitate and swallowed one fairy tree fruit after another into his stomach, providing it with vast spiritual energy.

As time went by, the second thunder tribulation descended, and after destroying several water-fixing beads, it was barely resisted.

With intentional guidance, the amount of thunder tribulation introduced into the body was slightly more.

Under the stimulation of the thunder tribulation, half of the Nascent Soul's body has been exposed.

However, the power of the thunder tribulation became stronger and stronger. By the time of the third thunder tribulation, it was as thick as a sea bowl. Under the bombardment, most of the water beads had been damaged.

Chen An was not in a hurry and took out his natal magic weapon, the Eight Spirit Sword.

With the nourishment of powerful magic power over the years, the Eight Spirit Sword has become as powerful as a spiritual treasure, and should be enough to overcome the third calamity.

Immediately, the sharp sword flew out, rushing towards the sky above Kuxiu Mountain, and directly reached the golden thunder tribulation.

A sword and a thunder, like two giant dragons, corroding each other, the thunder strikes the sword body, and the tip of the sword blocks the thunder.

After a moment, the aura of the thunder tribulation weakened, and Chen An took the opportunity to control the Eight Spirit Sword and deal it a heavy blow.

The spirituality of the Eight Spirit Sword was also slightly damaged, but it was not a big problem. It would recover after two or three years of nourishment in the Dantian.

Chen An only left a small amount of thunder and lightning and introduced it into his dantian.

Under the stimulation of the thunder tribulation, the Nascent Soul in the golden elixir broke out of its shell, swam happily in the dantian, and absorbed the rolling spiritual energy.

As if it wasn't enough, she opened her little mouth and sucked the remaining golden elixir into her mouth in one breath, then she showed a slightly satisfied look.

Seeing this, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief. It was relatively easy to block three thunder tribulations.

Although a lot of water beads were damaged, as long as you spend time, you can still gain some.

But Chen An did not completely relax, because at the end, there was still a most dangerous mental calamity!
The edge of Black Wind Mountain.

Xun Liang, the giant crocodile old man and several other demon kings gathered here. They looked into the distance in the direction of Kuxiu Mountain and remained silent for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but the noise in the distance gradually became much quieter.

The old crocodile said, "Three thunder tribulations have passed, and there is still one last inner demon tribulation. Do you think that the one from Kuxiu Mountain can survive this tribulation?"

　The monthly votes have exceeded 100 again, so I should add another chapter.

　　But today I can’t do it, let me take two days off and update with a 4,000-word chapter!
