Chapter 398: Chapter 394: Proving the Dao of Nascent Soul, Chaos Bell Reappears (Seeking Subscription)
In ancient Daoist books, two types of Heart Demons are described.
One type is the Evil Heart Demon, which some cultivators indulge in slaughter, destruction, death, despair, and chaos, controlled by negative emotions and losing themselves. Many demonic cultivators are lost in the bloodiness and brutality of Demon Dao.
The other type is the Good Heart Demon, which is the Heart Demon of orthodox cultivators.
Orthodox cultivators firmly believe in justice throughout their lives, acting with integrity, but when they’ve done certain evil deeds, they feel troubled, cannot let go, and their spirit feels guilty, gradually giving rise to a Heart Demon.
In fact, who in the world can guarantee they never commit an evil act in their lifetime?
For those at the bottom, born into low status with limited scope and development, it’s still possible to ensure they do no evil in life; however, to stand at the top, one inevitably must commit evil.
Crack!
Crack!
In the Insect Raising Gourd, the Gold-devouring Insect is gnawing on a Nascent Soul Pill, increasing in Immortal Qi, steadily advancing its cultivation. After consuming the Nascent Soul Pill, it seemed drunk, swaying and collapsing onto the bed, beginning to sleep soundly.
Such poor digestion.
Lu Xuanji was at a loss for words.
Storing away the Insect Raising Gourd, Lu Xuanji circulated his Cultivation Technique, the Creation Technique was operating in immortality, absorbing Spiritual Qi emanating from the Grotto World Pearl. These Spiritual Qi were just released and then refined by the Golden Core, turning into strands of Magical Power that circulated throughout the body, refining the five viscera, bloodline, bones, marrow, muscles, and more.
The body glowed with divine light, crystalline like jade, emitting a touch of destructive light.
The Golden Core radiated dazzling light, like a golden sun shining in the void, refining strands of Spiritual Qi and spitting out strands of Magical Power.
In size, the Golden Core resembled a basin, vast and infinite.
Fortunately, the Dantian, situated between reality and the void, like a mustard seed of Mount Sumeru, could contain the Golden Core.
At the same time, the Pure Yang Scripture circulated, strands of Pure Yang True Flame traversed throughout the body, constantly refining every part of the body, as if refining a Magical Treasure.
The strength of the body continuously increased, advancing towards solidity, stepping towards immortality.
While enhancing sturdiness, it also increased magical immunity, weakening the effects of various magical attacks on the body.
As the Cultivation Technique operated, Pure Yang Qi in the body increased, Qi and Blood like a furnace, refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit, elevating the body’s potential and the upper limit of aptitude.
The Pure Yang Scripture not only enhances a cultivator’s physique but also raises a cultivator’s potential ceiling.
Pure Yang Dao Body is one of the top Dao Bodies, yet it still has many insufficiencies and flaws. However, as the Pure Yang Scripture operates, the Pure Yang Dao Body slowly grows, subtly transforming, potentially rivaling a top Dao Body, possibly even reaching an Immortal Body in the future.
Again, the Yin Yang Scripture circulated, Yin Yang Qi flowed, making the body more harmonious and perfect.
But as the Cultivation Technique operated, Lu Xuanji slightly frowned.
No matter if it was physique, magical power, Essence, Qi, and Spirit strength, the improvements were increasingly slow, continuously honing.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"It’s time for Tribulation Crossing!"
Lu Xuanji activated a Secret Technique, perceiving the Tribulation Qi on his body, which was becoming more intense.
At this moment, he could trigger calamity and prove the Dao Nascent Soul.
"Shatter the Core!"
Lu Xuanji activated his magical power, the Golden Core spun fiercely, the Demon God nurtured within it hummed, releasing strands of destructive aura.
Crack!
Crack!
Amidst the intense sound, cracks appeared on the Golden Core, resembling a shattered eggshell.
As the magical power operated, the cracks on the Golden Core increased.
Core shattering is the first step in forming a Nascent Soul.
Just like a chick breaking out of its eggshell, stepping into the world.
In this process, if too much force is exerted, causing the Golden Core to completely shatter, it could lead to the cultivator’s death; however, if the force is too little, the Golden Core cannot nurture a Nascent Soul.
This step stumps most Golden Core cultivators.
Among thirty Golden Core cultivators, only one succeeds in taking this step.
Accompanied by the Golden Core’s operation, cracks on it increased, after circulating for over a dozen rounds, with a crisp sound, the Golden Core completely shattered.
Subsequently, an illusory shadow started to emerge from the void.
A trace of mythical, immortal, eternal aura flickered, seemingly about to emerge from the void.
At this moment, the Golden Core conveyed a feeling of hunger, as if insufficient Primordial Qi was preventing the shattering of the Golden Core.
Lu Xuanji took out three Nascent Soul Pills and swallowed them, the potency quickly melting, a vast amount of energy entered the Golden Core, alleviating the hunger slightly, yet still hungry;
Then swallowed three more Nascent Soul Pills, the Golden Core was still insatiable;
Finally took three Creation Pills, yet still hungry.
After consuming all the Elixirs, and devouring Spiritual Liquid, the hunger in the Golden Core still existed.
Woo woo woo!
Within a hundred miles, Spiritual Qi surged, forming a terrifying vortex, absorbed into Lu Xuanji’s body, yet the hunger remained, even growing.
Lu Xuanji took out piece after piece of Upper Grade Spirit Stones, consuming two thousand Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones crumbled, transforming into dense Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Golden Core, but it was still only half-full.
He took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
Upon consuming this Spirit Stone, vast Spiritual Qi emanated, not only numerous but of high grade, the Golden Core absorbed the Spiritual Qi, feeling bouts of satiety.
Crack!
Crack!
At this moment, the Golden Core slowly shattered, a majestic Demon God emerged from the void.
This Demon God, with a tall towering physique, dragon horns on his head, resembling his features, time flowing on his body, possessing eternal immortal aura, experiencing countless ages yet remaining eternally immortal, sun and moon decay but I am immortal, heaven and earth perish but I remain.
