A Whole New Realm

Lu Yang even suspected that the senior brother who shouted out the Tai Chi diagram was a plant hired by Lao Meng.

Jiang Lianyi watched in amazement. She had witnessed the cultivation philosophies of many extraordinary talents in High Antiquity, but this was the first time she had ever heard of the Tai Chi diagram with its alternating yin and yang. Was this the cultivation philosophy of 300,000 years later?

No wonder the Phoenix Clan is not as well-off as the Human Clan now; their thinking is not as advanced.

The other unusual phenomena were purchased by Meng Jingzhou, but the two Nascent Soul forming a Pure Yang Taiji Diagram was a genuine and real unusual phenomenon.

Lu Yang was thankful that there were no unusual phenomena when he formed his Nascent Soul. If there had been, he probably would have been beaten up by an invincible Nascent Soul.

That's incredibly embarrassing.

Oh no, that was Young Master Lu making a fool of himself, it has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Lianyi seemed thoughtful, then noticed another difference in Meng Jingzhou: "This is the first time I've seen someone with two Nascent Soul."

Lu Yang asked curiously, "Were there no cultivators in High Antiquity times who could cultivate two Nascent Soul?"

Jiang Lianyi gently shook her head. "There are indeed a few people in the Golden Core stage who can refine two Golden Core, but those two Golden Core Cores have different properties. When they cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, according to the law of conservation of Yin and Yang, they will fuse into one Golden Core, and then break the core to form the Nascent Soul."

"Do you know why the Nascent Soul Realm isn't called the Infancy stage, but instead has the word 'Yuan' (元) added before it?"

"Please enlighten me, senior."

"'Yuan' means initial, first, or first. In simple terms, the Nascent Soul Realm means the initial infant."

"So?"

"So this little guy surnamed Meng isn't at the Nascent Soul Realm yet, he's at the Second Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Yang's eyes twitched slightly. Senior Lianyi's naming skills were on par with Immortal Fairy's.

The Immortal Fairy nodded in the spiritual space. "The name 'Second Infant Stage' is excellent, perfectly fitting the context!"

Lu Yang: "..."

It should at least be called the "newborn period."

He didn't care what realm Meng Jingzhou was at, but he himself was a dual Nascent Soul.

The two Nascent Soul vanished into the cave abode in a flash, and various strange phenomena transformed into petals, creating a beautiful rain of petals.

With a smile on his lips, Meng Jingzhou pushed open the cave abode, looking refreshed and happy, clearly pleased with his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Only Lu Yang knew that he was happy because the performance had ended perfectly.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Meng! You've shattered your core and formed your nascent soul; your future is limitless!"

"Two Nascent Soul cultivators are unheard of! Junior Brother Meng has truly set a precedent in history. We should raise a toast to him!"

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Meng on achieving the Nascent Soul! We must all regard Senior Brother Meng as our idol and strive forward!"

"Not at all, fellow senior brothers and sisters, you're exaggerating. I'm just an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm; I don't deserve such a humble welcome."

Although he said he didn't deserve it, Meng Jingzhou was secretly overjoyed.

After most of the others had left, Lu Yang and Jiang Lianyi went over.

"Old Lu, you're here. Did you see my performance just now? I told you to break through ahead of time, but you don't get this kind of treatment, do you?" Meng Jingzhou boasted to Lu Yang triumphantly.

You little brat, you're heartless and broke through first.

He saw Jiang Lianyi standing next to Lu Yang, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Lianyi."

Although Jiang Lianyi had changed her appearance, Meng Jingzhou wasn't stupid; he knew that the person next to Lu Yang now was definitely Jiang Lianyi.

Upon hearing Meng Jingzhou's words, Old Ma took off running and spoke in human language, "Greetings, Fengzu!"

The legendary Phoenix Ancestor, the number one being below the level of demon immortals. I thought I would never have the chance to see the Phoenix Ancestor in this lifetime, but I never expected to see her here!

"Wow, Lao Ma, you can talk?" This was the first time Meng Jingzhou had heard Lao Ma speak in all these years.

Jiang Lianyi glanced at Old Ma: "A demon king level, is he this kid's protector?"

Old Ma dared not hide anything and told the whole story, "I was entrusted by my elder brother to prevent anyone else from killing me before he was beaten to death by his brother when he got home."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Dad, you're too vengeful! I'd almost forgotten what I did.

Fortunately, Meng Jingzhou was not a vengeful person. He quickly put aside his father's grudge against him and discussed his Nascent Soul Realm stage with Lu Yang.

"Congratulations, Old Meng! Senior Lianyi said it's the first time she's ever seen someone with two Nascent Soul, it's unprecedented, so you're no longer called Nascent Soul Realm, you're called a Double Nascent Soul cultivator."

Meng Jingzhou really wanted to say what a terrible name it was, but considering that it was given by Fengzu and that Fengzu was right there, he wouldn't dare to complain even if he had the guts.

"... A good name."

"So, what unusual changes have you noticed since you reached the Nascent Soul Realm?" Lu Yang asked with great interest. With two children now, it must be different from the ordinary Nascent Soul Realm.

"Needless to say, my strength has definitely increased. The most important thing is that I can feel a change in my own blood."

"What changes occur in the blood?"

Meng Jingzhou, with a stern face, said seriously, "It can enhance male virility."

"... Any other changes?" Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou strangely. Old Meng was practically a piece of Tang Monk's flesh.

"It should exist, but it hasn't been discovered yet; we need to explore it step by step."

The Invincible Infant was preceded by the Immortal Fairy, so Lu Yang could directly understand its function. However, Meng Jingzhou's situation lacked a reference point and could only be studied gradually.

"And you, what's your Nascent Soul like?"

Speaking of this, Lu Yang perked up. "My Nascent Soul was personally guided by a High Antiquity immortal. It's known as the Invincible Nascent Soul, capable of automatically engaging in battle. It can use the most appropriate moves and power at the most opportune moment to defeat the enemy. Even I, as its opponent, am inferior to it!"

Meng Jingzhou gasped. Old Lu's Nascent Soul sounded incredibly powerful, completely on a different level than his own.

"Alright, you've just broken through and need to consolidate your realm, so Senior Lianyi and I won't disturb you any longer."

No need to see me out.

Lu Yang bid farewell and headed to the Scripture Depository with Jiang Lianyi.

Standing in front of the Scripture Depository was Senior Sister Zhou Lulu, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. As always, Zhou Lulu was engrossed in her book.

"Senior Sister Zhou, reading again?" Lu Yang greeted her with a smile.

"It's Junior Brother Lu, long time no see." Zhou Lulu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Lu Yang.

"I heard you've been in the Demon Realm for the past six months?" Zhou Lulu looked at Lu Yang with envy. She had always wanted to go out and explore, but due to her shyness, she rarely left her sect, let alone went to the completely unfamiliar Demon Realm.

"Senior Sister Zhou, you could actually go for a stroll around the outer reaches of the Demon Realm; it would effectively boost your confidence."

"No, no, I'll stay in the sect. This is..." Zhou Lulu noticed the unfamiliar but imposing female cultivator next to Lu Yang.

According to regulations, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Scripture Depository.

"These are guests invited by our senior sister. They said they're here to visit the Scripture Depository. This is the note our senior sister approved," Lu Yang explained.

Seeing the note from her senior sister, Zhou Lulu didn't say anything more.

"Then you can go in, but remember not to damage the books."

"OK."

The two arrived at the second floor of the Scripture Depository, where Cultivation Method for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm were stored. When Lu Yang was compiling the Golden Core chapter of the "Enlightenment Technique," he stayed here for a full month before finishing it.

"Then please feel free to take a look, senior. I'll go study the Cultivation Method first." Lu Yang bid farewell to Jiang Lianyi for the time being.

After Lu Yang left, Jiang Lianyi looked at these previously unheard-of Cultivation Method with great interest, feeling the rapid changes of the times.

"<The Great Sun Dharma Body Technique>, <Crane Cry Technique>, <Farming Technique>... Hmm, why was this book hidden?"

She noticed that the Cultivation Method on the bottom shelf of the east side were rarely used; they were probably the most common Cultivation Method on the market, and there was a layer of dust on the books.

If you peel back the Cultivation Method, you'll find a hidden layer that's extremely difficult to detect.

Jiang Lianyi opened the hidden compartment and discovered a book hidden inside.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Change and Phoenix?"
