Nine-Colored Nascent Soul

"Just as the ancient texts said, the Power of Merit is profound and mysterious, offering unimaginable aid for breaking through to higher realms."

Bai Ye mused inwardly.

He had obtained two Merit Imprints!

The Power of Merit, deep and arcane, was a force all cultivators dreamed of possessing!

Even the Old Ancestors of those transcendent forces in the Heavenly Domain coveted the Power of Merit but could never attain it!

He raised his hand and took a pure white pill from his storage ring.

It was the Ninth-Rank Pill he had earned after clearing the 29th Floor—the Heavenly Infant Pill.

The pill felt warm and smooth in his hand, its surface wreathed in faint golden mist, its fragrance carrying a trace of life's origin essence.

The Heavenly Infant Pill could assist a Profound Comprehension Realm peak cultivator in condensing a Nascent Soul, boosting success rates by over ninety percent. Paired with a Saint-Tier Cultivation Method and a top-tier Dao Body, the success rate reached a full one hundred percent.

Bai Ye held the Heavenly Infant Pill in his palm, steadied his breath, and brought his state to its peak.

He could clearly sense the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian poised to surge, and the soul in his Sea of Consciousness ready to condense into a Nascent Soul.

"Next, I condense the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit. I wonder what level of Dao Fruit I can forge?"

A flicker of anticipation shone in his eyes as he placed the Heavenly Infant Pill into his mouth.

The pill dissolved on his tongue, and a warm yet vast medicinal force instantly swept through his body—gentler than any breakthrough before, yet carrying an irresistible power that slowly scoured the final barrier of the Profound Comprehension Realm peak.

Bai Ye focused his mind, pushing the Star Creation Art to its limits. His Innate Chaos Dao Body drew in the surrounding Star Spiritual Energy, which poured into his Dantian like a tidal wave.

The liquid Spiritual Energy within his Dantian began to spin at high speed, gradually coalescing into a humanoid silhouette—the embryonic form of a Nascent Soul!

At first, the silhouette was only a faint white. As Spiritual Energy and Star Spiritual Energy continued to flood in, the silhouette slowly took on color...

The green of the Wood Law, the blue of the Water Law, the red of the Fire Law, the yellow of the Earth Law, the gold of the Metal Law... In just a few breaths, an eight-colored Nascent Soul had formed, its Dao Fruit blazing with dazzling light that illuminated his entire Dantian!

At that moment, two streaks of Golden Light of Merit from his Sea of Consciousness suddenly shot out, merging into the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit like golden streams!

Hum—!

A ninth color burst forth!

It was a pure gold—the gold of the Merit Law!

The Nine-Colored Nascent Soul hovered at the center of his Dantian, each color representing an insight into a different Law. The Dao Fruit's surface shimmered with faint Golden Light of Merit, exuding an aura that could suppress heaven and earth.

Bai Ye could clearly feel that this Nine-Colored Nascent Soul was over ten times stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul Dao Fruit!

He had once seen a classification of Nascent Soul Dao Fruits in an ancient text collected by the Azure Cloud Sect: one to three colors were Lower Dao Fruits, limiting the cultivator to at most the Nascent Soul third-layer peak; four to six colors were Middle Dao Fruits, offering a chance to touch the threshold of the Tribulation Crossing Realm; seven to nine colors were Upper Dao Fruits, with the nine-colored Dao Fruit hailed as "ninety percent certain to break through to the Divine Realm!"

"So this is the Nascent Soul Realm..." Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and waved. The surrounding Star Spiritual Energy formed a pale golden shield, shifting shape at his will.

He could deeply perceive the wonder of the Nascent Soul Realm.

If the Profound Comprehension Realm was about "borrowing" the Power of Heaven and Earth, then the Nascent Soul Realm was about "commanding" it!

With a single thought, the surrounding Spiritual Energy would become soldiers obeying his orders—whether for attack, defense, or escape, all could be accomplished by harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth. The gap between the two realms was like the difference between clouds and mud.

Moreover, a Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator had a lifespan of three hundred years at most, while even a first-layer Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could live up to three thousand years!

Three thousand years of life gave him ample time to charge into higher realms, explore the mysteries of the Heavenly Profound Continent, and even ascend to the Upper Realm in pursuit of the supreme realm.

Outside the God Transformation Tower, the cultivators on the plain had already erupted into chaos.

"Look! The top floor of the God Transformation Tower! That's Starlight! Someone really made it to the top!"

A cultivator from the Ten Thousand Monster Valley pointed at the tower's peak, his voice trembling.

His companions looked up to see the windows of the 30th Floor no longer glowing with ordinary white light, but wreathed in faint Silver Radiance that echoed the stars in the night sky, exuding a heart-stirring Dao resonance.

"In over ten thousand years, no one has ever reached the top of the God Transformation Tower! Who in the world is this?" A White-haired Elder stroked his beard, his eyes full of shock. "My sect's ancient records say the God Transformation Tower was left by a Divine Realm expert, and reaching the top grants a legacy. Could it be that someone has truly obtained the inheritance of a Divine Realm expert?"

"If only we could leave the secret realm early! If this news gets out, the entire Wild Domain will be shaken!"

A rogue cultivator spoke with excitement tinged with frustration.

During the opening of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, the space was sealed, and no one could leave early unless the secret realm closed.

In the crowd, Li Chengze, the Ninth Prince of the Skywind Dynasty, stared fixedly at the Starlight atop the God Transformation Tower, his knuckles white from tension, his lips trembling as he muttered, "Impossible... this is impossible! The Wind Spirit Physique is the top constitution in Azure State, and I only made it to the 18th Floor. How could someone reach the top? The tower must be malfunctioning!"

The attendants beside him dared not respond, only lowering their heads. This prince had always thought highly of himself, and now, being utterly crushed by another, he was likely to develop a heart demon.

Not far away, Zhuge Qing and Miao Miao stood side by side, their earlier arrogance replaced by deep reverence.

"Senior Brother, look at that Starlight... It feels like the aura of the Star Laws!" Miao Miao grabbed Zhuge Qing's sleeve, her eyes bright with excitement. "Could this person really have obtained the legendary supreme inheritance?!"

Zhuge Qing frowned, his fingers unconsciously stroking the jade pendant at his waist, his tone grave. "It's not just the Star Laws—there are fluctuations from other mysterious forces... This person's gains are likely far beyond what we can imagine."

He paused, then smiled wryly. "It seems we've come all this way for nothing."

The Starlight at the top of the God Transformation Tower grew brighter, as if about to merge with the stars in the night sky.

The cultivators outside the tower fell silent, their gazes fixed intently on the peak.

Everyone was waiting.

All wanted to see.

Just who was this mysterious cultivator who had conquered the God Transformation Tower!
