Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 721 - 337: Nascent Soul Formation (Part 1)_2
Boom!
With a loud noise, the surface of the water sphere suddenly caved in, forming a deep funnel-shaped depression that almost touched the body of the Water Lake Rat.
But at the last moment, the sword light dispersed abruptly.
A moment later, the Water Lake Rat, still in shock, withdrew the Profound Nether Heavy Water.
Its entire body was wet, looking rather wretched, but aside from some fatigue, there was no substantial harm.
"The master is too terrifying, I’ll never be a test subject again even if it kills me!"
The Water Lake Rat shrank its body, transforming into a half-human, half-rat form, panting heavily, feeling extremely depressed.
Originally, it thought it could suppress its master, but who knew the master’s swordsmanship would be so formidable.
"Not bad."
Xu Ping retracted his sword and stood, feeling quite satisfied with his current combat power.
Even without using the Puppet Array, he should be able to suppress an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch, and he was very close to reaching the combat power of the Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
According to Xu Ping’s estimation, once he cultivates another sword technique to the Perfection Level, his Sword Dao would be able to transform a thousand swords into ten thousand.
Further on, it would be the time to thoroughly unleash the flying light of the sword rainbow.
"Soon."
A hint of anticipation appeared in Xu Ping’s eyes.
However, that certainly has to wait until after he forms his Nascent Soul. Right now, the most important thing is forming the Nascent Soul!
"Let’s go, back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons!"
Xu Ping called the Water Lake Rat to carry him flying towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
...
.....
Several months later.
Xu Ping had a smooth journey, returning to the territory of the Great Xia Country, and smoothly returning to the mountain gate of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
As soon as Xu Ping returned to the mountain gate, True Monarch Lan Ling sensed it and felt both relieved and gratified.
Even though Xu Ping’s combat power was astonishing, with the current turmoil in the Nanchuan Realm, returning safely was a good thing overall.
"Junior Brother Yan, did you gain anything from this excursion?"
True Monarch Lan Ling, riding on a cloud with her hair styled high and wearing a light purple immortal dress, greeted him with concern in her eyes.
"I gained a lot. The conditions for Nascent Soul Formation have been completed."
Xu Ping nodded slightly, looking up with a smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze like lightning.
"That’s good!"
True Monarch Lan Ling’s smile was as beautiful as a flower, with her eyebrows full of satisfaction.
They communicated through Sound Transmission as they entered the hall of Blue Water Peak.
True Monarch Lan Ling gracefully turned her figure, waved her hand gently, and an upper-grade purple clay tea set appeared out of thin air.
She revealed her flawless jade-like arms, picked up tea leaves with her delicate fingers, and personally brewed a cup of Immortal Spirit Tea for Xu Ping.
"Senior Sister has a heart."
Xu Ping picked up the teacup and took a small sip, a wisp of fragrance permeating his heart and mind, opening all his meridians, and making him feel refreshed.
Pausing for a moment, his gaze dimmed slightly, he slowly said, "I will be retreating for seclusion shortly after this return."
"Junior Brother Yan, when do you plan to attempt the Nascent Soul formation?"
True Monarch Lan Ling observed with concentration, noticing Xu Ping’s clear aura and unwavering Dao heart, not showing the slightest unease that an ordinary cultivator would face with impending life-and-death calamity, nodding quietly.
"About two months later."
Xu Ping had some calculations regarding the timing for Nascent Soul Formation.
Even though he was very confident, the breakthrough to Nascent Soul is not a trivial matter.
Spending two months adjusting his state to the peak, ensuring nothing goes wrong, is definitely necessary.
"Alright, I’ll issue the orders."
True Monarch Lan Ling nodded slightly, flipped her hand to take out a token, and issued several Sound Transmission Talismans.
On the day Xu Ping returned, the Sect Protection Array of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was fully activated, and the whole sect entered alert status.
Normally, the sect array was active but in a low-power state.
Now that it was fully activated, the consumption was considerable.
This action also startled the disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, who guessed what might have happened.
...
Before the evening.
Xu Ping returned to the underground palace dojo of the Water Lake Rat, which also enjoyed the environment of a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.
The place he chose for Nascent Soul formation was also here.
After all, this place had long been transformed by him and set up with arrays, with enough security and Spiritual Qi.
After returning, he immediately planted the withered wood in the underground secret hall.
He even relocated the eye of the Spiritual Spring here to increase Spiritual Qi and irrigate the withered wood.
The next day, Xu Ping entered a semi-secluded state.
The focus was on refining and adjusting his state of mind.
...
Half a month later.
Red Sand Sect, forbidden area.
"Yan Ruchen has returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Valley has entered full alert, suspected to be preparing for Nascent Soul formation!" The skeletal elder received the intel and his expression became extremely ugly.
Others might not know the inside story, but he was certainly aware.
People like True Monarch Chixiao pursued Yan Ruchen and never returned.
"Senior Brother, do you think the death of Senior Brother Chixiao and others is related to this kid?" The man with a face like a red date couldn’t help but ask.
After a moment of silence, the skeletal elder sighed slightly: "It’s hard to say!"
But he was quite sure this matter had nothing to do with Yan Ruchen.
Six Nascent Soul True Monarchs joined forces, and five of them fell. Even a Mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse would find it hard to achieve that.
And this kid, with only Golden Core cultivation, even with the addition of a Fourth Rank Demon Monarch, would be far from being a match for six Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
As for getting others to help, that’s possible.
However, at least two Mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses would need to join forces, with means to restrain teleportation.
But if Yan Ruchen really had such terrifying connections and could get two Mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses to take action, then what’s the point of staying in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?
What’s the need to rush and plan for his Spirit Pet and his own breakthrough?
Besides, they haven’t heard of any faction deploying two Mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses.
In the Nanchuan Realm, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse is already considered a big figure, drawing much attention with every move.
"But regardless of whether this matter is related to Yan Ruchen, our Red Sand Sect must act low-key."
"Now that the Wind Origin Realm’s invasion is approaching, that’s the Damocles sword hanging overhead." The skeletal elder sighed slightly.
