[You had a deep impression of Thousand Extremes Mountain, which controlled this place.]
[In your memories, during the time Fenghua Island invaded Qixia Island in the future.]
[All cultivators from Thousand Extremes Mountain were cruel and bloodthirsty. They often used mortals for large-scale blood sacrifices, refining pills and treasures.]
[They were utterly demonic cultivators in their ways.]
[Thousand Extremes Mountain was also one of Fenghua Island's three great demonic sects.]
[Most importantly, Venerable Black Wing, who had killed Gu Changfeng, was Thousand Extremes Mountain's Spirit Transformation patriarch.]
[You entered Thousand Extremes City.]
[You discovered that an auction was currently being held.]
[You inquired about the relevant information.]
[It turned out that one of Thousand Extremes Mountain's raiding parties that had gone out to sea had returned and was fencing its spoils.]
[You attended the auction and casually made a few bids, winning several items that interested you.]
[When it came time to pay, you inadvertently revealed ten thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones, then inadvertently revealed two fourth-order magic treasures.]
[For a moment, every cultivator in the auction house stared at you with eyes gone green.]
[If Thousand Extremes Mountain had not cared at least a little about saving face on the surface, the Nascent Soul True Lord auctioneer on the stage might have attacked you directly.]
[The auction ended.]
[You swaggered through Thousand Extremes City when a cultivator suddenly attacked you.]
[He was a Nascent Soul True Lord.]
[His mana gathered into a great hand seal, intending to seize you outright and abduct you.]
[You merely smiled. Your body trembled lightly as a powerful aura surfaced from your flesh. With a gentle tear of both hands, you ripped apart the mana hand seal.]
[Then you threw another punch. The power of the Flame Burst Battle Body erupted in full, and the Nascent Soul True Lord was sent flying without the slightest ability to resist.]
[Then he fled toward Thousand Extremes City's exit without even looking back.]
[The guards at the exit and Thousand Extremes City's formation did not stop him.]
[Immediately afterward, several Nascent Soul True Lords from Thousand Extremes City teleported to your side and surrounded you on all sides.]
[Seeing this, how could you not understand?]
[These demonic cultivators of Thousand Extremes Mountain had set their sights on your wealth, yet wanted to preserve Thousand Extremes City's surface rules, so they had deliberately staged this little performance.]
[But that suited you perfectly.]
[They told you to give up resisting and surrender immediately.]
[You laughed loudly and attacked at once. Flame Burst Power flowed through your entire body in place of mana, and a fourth-order flying sword flew out from your body.]
[With one sword strike, a Nascent Soul True Lord was injured, and a gap opened in the encirclement.]
[You fled out of the city through that gap.]
[The guards at the exit tried to stop you, but you cut them down with a single sword strike.]
[Insolence! An enraged voice rang out.]
[Then a figure appeared before you.]
[From the shocked cries of the cultivators watching the spectacle, you learned this figure's identity.]
[He was Thousand Extremes Mountain's Seventh Elder, a peak Nascent Soul True Lord who had cultivated divine abilities.]
[He was also Thousand Extremes City's current highest authority.]
[You drew the Purple Meteor Sword, poured all your Flame Burst Power into it, and swung.]
[A dazzling streak of purple sword light appeared.]
[Thousand Extremes Mountain's Seventh Elder fell.]
[The other Nascent Soul True Lords in the city were all cowed by you, and you swaggered out through the gates.]
[Afterward, Thousand Extremes Mountain flew into a rage. The sole Deity Transformation Venerable guarding the sect ordered a hunt for you.]
[The Purple Meteor Sword you had used that day was also recognized as a fifth-order spirit treasure.]
[Treasures stirred men's hearts, and Thousand Extremes Mountain's bounty was equally alluring.]
[Under the combined effect of both, nearly all mid- and high-level cultivators within Thousand Extremes Mountain's sphere of influence were mobilized.]
[Even Nascent Soul Overlords from other parts of Fenghua Island rushed over.]
[Even Venerable Moon Sword heard of the commotion you had caused.]
[However, she did not come. She merely smiled faintly.]
[She then continued investigating the deep pit left behind by the Pillar of Heaven, where she discovered some clues regarding the Strange Lifeform.]
[There was likely a Strange Lifeform on Fenghua Island.]
[Amid the endless pursuit, it did not take you long to encounter another group of cultivators.]
[There were Gold Core True Persons and Nascent Soul True Lords alike.]
[At age ninety-seven, you encountered seven Gold Core True Persons and killed them with your sword.]
[Your swordsmanship improved slightly.]
[At age ninety-eight, a Nascent Soul True Lord attacked you. After a fierce battle, you were outmatched, but the Purple Meteor Sword automatically protected its master and killed him!]
[Your swordsmanship likewise improved slightly.]
[At age one hundred, your first third-order sword technique broke through its limit, strengthening your foundation.]
[At age one hundred and five, dozens of Nascent Soul True Lords and over a hundred Gold Core cultivators surrounded you. You used the Purple Meteor Sword to tear open a gap and slipped away.]
[At age one hundred and eight, your second third-order sword technique broke through its limit, strengthening your foundation.]
[At age one hundred and twelve, a Nascent Soul Overlord arrived. He first lured over a group of ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords, exhausting all your Flame Burst Power, then successfully blocked your path.]
[The Purple Meteor Sword protected its master and fought him, but was outmatched!]
[He seized the opportunity and successfully struck you with an offensive divine ability.]
[The fifth-order spirit treasure armor, the Yin Yang Wind Cloud Armor, protected its master.]
[You were completely unharmed.]
[He realized the reason, and his gaze became even greedier.]
[Helpless, with the assistance of the Venerable's consciousness within the talisman, you drew upon a trace of the talisman's power and killed the Nascent Soul Overlord.]
[At age one hundred and seventeen, your Origin Body Refining Technique improved somewhat.]
[At age one hundred and nineteen, your third third-order sword technique successfully broke through its limit, strengthening your foundation.]
[At age one hundred and twenty, after Thousand Extremes Mountain's patriarch, Venerable Black Wing, returned to Fenghua Island, he personally attacked you.]
[You used the divine ability talisman left behind by Venerable Blazing Sun to kill him.]
[The entire Fenghua Island was shaken by that battle.]
[Thousand Extremes Mountain hurriedly revoked its order to hunt you down.]
[The number of cultivators still pursuing you greatly decreased.]
[The rate of your swordsmanship's improvement slowed.]
[But you had more time to spare, and you began traveling across Fenghua Island.]
[Your Third-Order Origin Body Refining Technique improved faster.]
[At age one hundred and thirty, your three Third-Order Origin Body Refining Techniques all reached major mastery in the same year, strengthening your origin.]
[At age one hundred and thirty-one, your fourth sword technique broke through its limit with great difficulty, strengthening your foundation.]
[You felt that you had reached the limit of your own talent and prepared to break through to become a Nascent Soul True Lord.]
[You sent a message to Venerable Moon Sword, informing her that you needed to break through.]
[Venerable Moon Sword came to see you and gave you a third-order origin spiritual item, the Life Origin Fruit.]
[You consumed the Life Origin Fruit, strengthening your origin.]
[Venerable Moon Sword guarded you.]
[Please choose the direction of your Nascent Soul breakthrough.]
[One, Human Dao Nascent Soul (an extremely high upper limit and a low lower limit; it demands the most from one's origin foundation and cultivated divine abilities and spells; after breaking through, mana will have a mild nature.)]
[Two, Earth Dao Nascent Soul (a high upper limit and a moderate lower limit; it has certain requirements for one's origin foundation and is greatly affected by the quality of the breakthrough spiritual item, Earth Turbid Qi; after breaking through, mana will have a heavy nature.)]
[Three, Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul (a high upper limit and a moderate lower limit; it has certain requirements for one's origin foundation and is greatly affected by the quality of the breakthrough spiritual item, Nine Heavens Pure Qi; after breaking through, mana will have a pure and ethereal nature.)]
Human Dao Nascent Soul won't work. Simulated Su Yang's foundation and origin can only ensure a Nascent Soul of above-average quality right now.
Earth Dao or Heavenly Dao? With the highest-quality pure qi and turbid qi, condensing a high-grade Nascent Soul won't be difficult.
Then the only factor left is the nature of my mana.
Then I'll choose the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
After some thought, Su Yang made his decision.
[You chose to break through in the direction of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul and entered seclusion.]
[You refined the Nine Heavens Pure Qi.]
[A year later, rolling tribulation lightning descended.]
[You emerged from the tribulation, successfully condensing a high-grade Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.]
