[Half a year later, you successfully broke through and condensed the most exceptional Human Dao Nascent Soul.]
[Heaven and earth resonated. Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and waves of terrifying pressure spread through the world. The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend.]
[You arrived at the sect's Tribulation Crossing Peak.]
[You used the divine ability Bright Flame Qi to bolster your mana.]
[The quality of your mana greatly increased, enough to rival the mana of the weakest Spirit Transformation cultivators.]
[Your combat strength greatly increased, nearly reaching that of a Nascent Soul Overlord.]
[Your heavenly tribulation was exceptionally fierce, far surpassing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord. The tribulation lightning possessed the power of the Nascent Soul Late Stage.]
[Yet to you, it was no more than a gentle breeze brushing your face.]
[You used your Natal Magic Treasure, the Fire Yang Sword.]
[You cleaved apart the lightning tribulation.]
[The lightning tribulation dispersed, and you officially became a Nascent Soul True Lord.]
"Success, but the Nascent Soul's quality is somewhat regrettable. It only reached the pinnacle and did not surpass the limit. Otherwise, I would have received a gift from that mysterious voice."
Su Yang was somewhat disappointed, though this outcome had been within his expectations.
Surpassing the limit was not so easily achieved. Simulated Su Yang had been able to condense a Supreme Golden Core only because he had benefited in advance from the Third-Order Origin Body Refining Technique.
This time, however, when he shattered his core and formed a Nascent Soul, he had not cultivated the Fourth-Order Origin Body Refining Technique beforehand.
Su Yang continued looking at the simulation interface.
[Many Nascent Soul True Lords from within the sect flew over through the air to offer you their congratulations.]
[You returned each of their courtesies.]
[Three months later, you held a Nascent Soul advancement ceremony and established your Nascent Soul title as True Monarch Fire Yang.]
[You received many gifts.]
[True Monarch Mingyang gave you a top-tier fourth-order flying vessel.]
[Your senior brother Gu Changfeng gave you a collection of alchemy secret scriptures he had gathered.]
[Your master, Venerable Blazing Sun, gave you the cultivation materials for the top-tier divine ability Great Sun Battle Body.]
[After the banquet ended, you began nurturing your Natal Magic Treasure, the Fire Yang Sword.]
[Three years later, your Natal Magic Treasure reached the lower fourth grade.]
[But you could sense that this was not its limit.]
[As you continued nurturing it, its quality would continue to rise, though it would require a very long time.]
[You temporarily stopped actively nurturing it, merely leaving it in your dantian to grow passively.]
[Once your cultivation improved, actively nurturing the Fire Yang Sword again would increase its quality much faster.]
[Following the advice of Gu Changfeng and Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable, you selected the fourth-order spells you would primarily cultivate.]
[They included six sword arts, three attribute spells, and three Origin Body Refining Techniques.]
[You began cultivating the corresponding spells while honing your alchemy skills.]
[Thanks to your advancement in realm, your control over heat became more precise, and you grew increasingly adept at extracting the essence of medicinal ingredients.]
[Your alchemy improved.]
[Your alchemy broke through to the early fourth grade.]
[But you were still far from being able to steadily refine fourth-order top-grade Vitality Pills.]
[You arrived at the sect's Alchemy Hall and found True Monarch Kaihe, a top-tier fourth-order alchemist.]
[After seeking Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable's opinion, you handed the fourth-order Vitality Pill formula to True Monarch Kaihe,
and gave him the corresponding materials, asking him to refine fourth-order Vitality Pills for you.]
[After familiarizing himself with the formula, True Monarch Kaihe gave you the first batch of fourth-order top-grade Vitality Pills three months later.]
[You consumed fourth-order top-grade Vitality Pills.]
[Your cultivation speed greatly increased.]
[At 160 years old, all the spells you primarily cultivated, including the Origin Body Refining Techniques, had reached the beginner level.]
[At 162 years old, the Skyfall Fire within your body advanced to the middle fourth grade.]
[At 165 years old, Venerable Moon Sword returned.]
[She brought back some unpleasant news.]
[Regarding the Strange Lifeforms on Fenghua Island, after confirming their existence, she had invited a Void Returning King to come.]
[But the most unusual commander still escaped.]
[Moreover, before escaping, it had already reached the sixth-grade Void Returning level.]
[Now, the seas and islands near Fenghua Island could all suffer its plundering and attacks.]
[Because Qixia Island was too close to Fenghua Island, there was a high chance it would be attacked.]
[You were not overly worried.]
[The Tianjian Sect's mountain gate was guarded by the Heavenly Sword Record, the sixth-grade grand array left behind by the seventh-generation patriarch, and a Natal Spiritual Treasure.]
[So long as nothing as severely beyond the norm as the descent of the Pillar of Heaven occurred, ordinary sixth-grade king-level combat strength could never break in.]
[Even if they forced their way inside, they would be trapped and slowly ground to death by the grand array.]
[You continued cultivating with peace of mind.]
[You discovered that after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, the speed of cultivation progress had become outrageously slow.]
[You considered cultivating the Vital Energy divine ability, the Heavenly Origin Body.]
[You examined the cultivation requirements for the Heavenly Origin Body.]
[You discovered that it required three conditions: Nascent Soul cultivation, some insight into the essence of vital energy, and vast resources of vital energy.]
[You already possessed Nascent Soul cultivation. You also had the Origin Qi Crystals and the vital energy converted by the Origin Qi Cauldron over the years. The only thing you lacked was insight into the essence of vital energy.]
[You consulted Ancient Yuan Dan Venerable, Venerable Moon Sword, and Venerable Blazing Sun.]
[You discovered that they did not possess much understanding of vital energy either.]
[You were somewhat disappointed.]
[You could only observe and carefully experience vital energy by yourself.]
[At 170 years old, you gained a slight insight into vital energy, but you were still far from being able to cultivate the Heavenly Origin Body.]
[You consumed a Clear Spirit Berry. Your comprehension greatly increased for a time, and you entered a state of enlightenment.]
[Your insight into vital energy increased.]
[You gained entry into Vital Energy Intent.]
[With deep accumulation bursting forth, your Vital Energy Intent reached minor accomplishment.]
[You fulfilled the cultivation requirements for the Heavenly Origin Body.]
[One year later, you cultivated the Heavenly Origin Body.]
[Your efficiency in absorbing vital energy greatly increased.]
[You consumed Vitality Pills more quickly.]
[Your cultivation speed increased.]
[At 183 years old, you broke through to the second level of the Nascent Soul realm.]
[At 188 years old, all your fourth-order sword arts broke through to minor accomplishment.]
[You tested your strength and discovered that you still lacked much.]
[You decided to shore up your weaknesses.]
[After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, the difficulty of cultivating simplified divine abilities decreased somewhat. There was no need to comprehend the corresponding Intent; by expending vast quantities of spiritual materials, one could hope to cultivate them directly.]
[You decided to cultivate several simplified divine abilities.]
[You arrived at the library.]
[You chose the speed-type simplified divine ability, Wind Riding Lightning.]
[You chose the body-type simplified divine ability, Blazing Sun Spirit Body.]
[You chose the attack-type simplified divine ability, Sky Swallowing Bright Sun Sword.]
