Charging into the Nascent Soul Realm (Part 2, That's All for Today)

Shen Long lit the Soul-Calming Incense and placed it in an Incense Burner. A unique fragrance spread out and slowly drifted into his nose.

He felt a sudden dizziness and found himself in a secret room.

"The Inner Demon Tribulation?"

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

He touched his head and face, and was surprised to find that he was now just a young child.

He got up and went outside, where he saw a woman in a green dress sitting in the stone pavilion.

"Long'er, you've advanced to the second level of Qi Refining, not bad."

The woman in the green dress spoke.

"Mother!"

Tears welled up in Shen Long's eyes.

As far as he knew, Inner Demon could create illusions, conjuring up a person and causing cultivators to be forever trapped in the illusion. Many Core Formation Cultivator successfully Shattering Core to Form Nascent Soul failed at the second stage.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, he was still somewhat excited to see his mother.

"It's good to be happy to have advanced to the second level of Qi Refining, but you don't need to cry!"

The woman in the green dress said with a smile.

Shen Long ran over quickly, nestled in the arms of the woman in the green dress, and cried, "Mother, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Silly child, why would your mother not want you? You're talking nonsense."

The woman in the green dress gently patted Shen Long's back, comforting him.

······

Deep within the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, amidst a continuous, Emerald Green Mountain Range, three men and one woman walked slowly, their faces filled with vigilance. Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe were among them.

What is that?

A woman in a golden dress with a slender figure pointed to the distant horizon and spoke.

Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe both looked towards the distant horizon and could see a large amount of five-colored spiritual light.

"Is this the emergence of a treasure?"

Qin Tianhe asked in confusion.

"We'll find out when we get there; perhaps our fortuitous opportunity has arrived."

Chu Shan said excitedly.

The four of them quickened their pace and rushed towards the location of the five-colored spiritual light.

A quarter of an hour later, they stopped. The void ahead was filled with multicolored spiritual light, and they could see a small valley shrouded in Yellow Mist.

"Someone is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The woman in the golden dress recognized the origin of this strange phenomenon.

"Trying to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley? That's incredibly audacious!"

Chu Shan asked in surprise.

The Ten Thousand Poison Valley is filled with miasma, making it an unsuitable place for attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Yet, someone has actually attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm here.

"He hasn't undergone the Lightning Tribulation yet; he's probably just going through his first trial. If we interfere with him now, he'll surely die."

An Red-Robed Elder with a large belly made the suggestion.

"Let's forget it. If they dare to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm here, they must have made thorough preparations. Let's avoid them!"

Chu Shan said.

As soon as they finished speaking, thick, Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground and headed straight for them.

The Red-Robed Elder's right hand emitted a bright red light, from which a Crimson Flame surged forth. With a single palm strike, a Crimson Fire Palm flew out and struck the Cyan Vine Cyan Vine, instantly reducing them to ashes.

A deafening dragon roar rang out, and a gigantic Ice Flood Dragon flew over.

"Third-Rank Flood Dragon! Run!"

Chu Shan was greatly alarmed and transformed into a Escape Light, fleeing through the air.

The three Red-Robed Elder also fled, not daring to linger in one place. The Ice Flood Dragon did not pursue them, letting them escape.

Inside the cave, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, his face sometimes pale and sometimes flushed, covered in sweat.

The Soul-Calming Incense in the Incense Burner burned slowly, and wisps of fragrance drifted into Shen Long's nostrils.

Time passed slowly, and the Soul-Calming Incense grew shorter and shorter.

After a short while, just as the Soul-Calming Incense was about to burn out, Shen Long opened his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.

The Inner Demon Tribulation was too difficult to overcome. The Inner Demon manifested as his parents, master, friends, and elders of his sect, trying every means to make Shen Long sink into the illusion. Fortunately, he was determined and with the help of the Soul-Calming Incense, he was able to overcome the Inner Demon Tribulation.

A deafening clap of thunder echoed from high above, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

A massive Thunder Cloud appeared without warning above the valley, with countless silver arcs of electricity crackling within Thunder Cloud, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.

"The Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation!"

Shen Long's expression hardened.

The Lightning Tribulation is the final hurdle; once he passes it, he will become Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Generally speaking, the last hurdle is the easiest to overcome. However, Shen Long attracted Three-Colored Divine Lightning when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm. When he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Lightning Tribulation may be even stronger. This is also a test from the Heavenly Dao.

He took out a shimmering yellow Formation Disk, cast a spell, and a thick Yellow Light Screen appeared, enveloping him. The surface of the Yellow Light Screen had a tortoise pattern.

The fourth-order defensive Formation, the Mystic Turtle Array, was obtained from the Ascension Cave Abode of Nascent Soul Cultivator. Both the Soul-Calming Incense and the Mystic Turtle Array originated from the same Nascent Soul Cultivator.

A thunderclap resounded, Thunder Cloud churned and rolled like boiling water. A silver lightning bolt, about the thickness of two fingers, ripped through the void and struck the Yellow Light Screen precisely. The silver lightning bolt exploded, transforming into a huge ball of silver lightning that engulfed the entire Yellow Light Screen.

Before the silver lightning had even dissipated, the second Lightning Tribulation struck, followed by a third, a fourth...

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, Lightning Tribulation struck down, and blinding flashes of light engulfed the small valley.

The Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation consists of thirty-six Lightning Tribulation. When the thirty-first Lightning Tribulation struck, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing electric arcs of four different colors: blue, red, green, and yellow.

"Four-Colored Divine Lightning! This person actually attracted Four-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Chu Shan and his three companions saw the four-colored Thunder Cloud in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

"Run! If this person survives the Lightning Tribulation, killing us will be as easy as crushing an ant."

The woman in the gold dress offered her advice.

The four hurriedly left, not daring to linger.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground, the Yellow Light Screen dimmed, and many small cracks could be seen on the Formation Disk in his hand.

He never expected that he would attract five bolts of Four-Colored Divine Lightning; he was in big trouble.

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and a thick bolt of four-colored lightning ripped through the sky, striking the Yellow Light Screen Yellow Light Screen, causing it to tremble slightly.

The cracks on the surface of the Formation Disk expanded rapidly, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.

Shen Long summoned a red shield and Thunder-Absorbing Bead, while simultaneously releasing hundreds of thousands of Golden-Winged Fire Ant, which coalesced into a golden armor to protect his entire body.

The second bolt of four-colored lightning struck, and the Yellow Light Screen shattered instantly, like paper.

The four-colored lightning bolts struck the Thunder-Absorbing Bead- Thunder-Absorbing Bead bead, disappeared into it, and Thunder-Absorbing Bead several tiny cracks on its surface.

The third bolt of four-colored lightning struck the Lightning Thunder-Absorbing Bead Thunder-Absorbing Bead, but it was absorbed like mud into the ocean. Several more cracks Thunder-Absorbing Bead, making it look like it was about to shatter at any moment.

The fourth bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning struck down, causing the Thunder-Absorbing Bead to explode. A huge ball of Four-Colored Thunder Light engulfed Shen Long's figure, and a shockwave rolled in.

The four-colored Thunder Cloud churned and surged, transforming into a gigantic Four-Colored Lightning Wolf, its entire body covered in four-colored electric arcs.

The Four-Colored Lightning Wolf let out a loud roar and swooped down from the sky.

A massive Red Blade Light shot out from the Four-Colored Thunder Light, flashing across the body of the Four-Colored Lightning Wolf. The four-colored lightning dragon was cleaved in two, transforming into a huge ball of Four-Colored Thunder Light that engulfed a large area, filling the air with smoke and dust.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, a man's loud laughter that shook the heavens and the earth rang out, followed by a terrifying spiritual pressure soaring into the sky.

Shen Long flew out of the smoke and dust, his body covered in blood, with many Red Dragon Scales visible.

He successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. In order to overcome the tribulation, a fourth-order defensive Formation, Thunder-Absorbing Bead, and many defensive Law Treasure were destroyed, and a small portion of the Golden-Winged Fire Ant were also killed. Only then did Shen Long overcome the Lightning Tribulation, which shows how powerful the Four-Colored Divine Lightning is.
