Breaking Through to Spirit Transformation
Time flies, and fifty years have passed.
In the southern part of the Heaven Origin Realm, on a vast, boundless Cyan Grassland, hundreds of thousands of cultivators are engaged in fierce battles.
Blood flowed like a river, and many corpses lay on the ground, with fragments of Law Artifact, Law Treasure, and Spirit Treasure scattered everywhere.
A voluptuous Purple-Skirted Woman was fighting a giant, Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm. Three white flying Flying Dagger shot towards them, merging into one halfway through the air, transforming into a White Giant Blade over ten feet long.
The Purple-Skirted Woman made a hand seal, and the Purple Shield in front of her shone brightly as it met the attack.
The Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm unleashed a thick beam of white light, striking the Purple Shield.
The Purple Shield froze at a visible speed, becoming completely frozen.
The White Giant Blade spun around, intending to attack the Purple-Skirted Woman from behind.
The Purple Jade Pendant on the Purple-Skirted Woman's chest suddenly shone brightly, and a thick Purple Light Screen appeared, protecting her entire body.
The White Giant Blade struck the Purple Light Screen with a muffled thud, causing the Purple Light Screen's aura to dim slightly.
A white light shone behind the Purple-Skirted Woman, and the Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm appeared.
It opened its lower jaw and emitted a thick beam of white light, which struck the Purple Light Screen, causing the Purple Light Screen to freeze rapidly.
The White Giant Blade flashed with a blinding white light and struck the Purple Light Screen once more.
With a muffled thud, the Purple Light Screen shattered instantly, like paper.
The Purple-Skirted Woman was cleaved in two by the White Giant Blade. As soon as her Nascent Soul left her body, it was enveloped by a white ray of light and pulled into a White Jade Bottle.
A flash of white light, and the Master Ice Silkworm and the Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm separated.
With a single gesture, he sent White Jade Bottle flying into his sleeve.
A loud gong sounded, and the Heaven Origin Race and Purple Charm Race cultivators retreated one after another. The Human Race cultivators did not pursue them and withdrew in an orderly manner.
Both sides worked together seamlessly to collect the bodies and treat the wounded.
Master Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief; he had survived again.
Han Yuwei was injured in the last major battle and is currently in seclusion to recuperate.
Master Ice Silkworm returned to the Three Saints City and had just returned to the Spirit Control Garden when he saw Yuan Rui walking towards him.
"Senior Brother Yuan, you've advanced to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection! Congratulations!"
Master Ice Silkworm offered his congratulations.
They have been in the Heaven Origin Realm for over a hundred years. Some of them have advanced to higher realms in the Heaven Origin Realm, and the Spirit Control Sect has also gained two more Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Just finished seclusion! Junior Brother Lin, still no news of Junior Brother Shen?"
Yuan Rui asked.
"Not yet, no news is good news."
"Master Ice Silkworm said."
Yuan Rui nodded and said, "That's true. He might have already advanced to the Spirit Transmutation Realm when he returned."
"Haha! I hope that's true."
Master Ice Silkworm laughed and joked.
After chatting for a few minutes, Master Ice Silkworm returned to his residence to rest.
······
In the Sun and Moon Garden, Song Lianyue and Zhao Yang sat around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.
"So many years have passed, and there's still no news of Buyu. I wonder how she is doing."
Song Lianyue frowned and said.
"They should be hiding somewhere cultivating. With their Divine Ability, they should be able to escape unless they encounter Spirit Transformation cultivator. If the Heaven Origin Race cultivators killed them, they would definitely spread the word and damage our morale. As it stands, they are safe and sound."
Zhao Yang said.
"I hope so! I didn't expect Buyu to stay with Fellow Daoist Shen. A daughter grows up and leaves home."
Song Lianyue said with a smile.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen is quite good. He is powerful and has superb alchemy skills. He is a good match for Bu Yu."
"Let's hope they return safely!"
Song Lianyue said, a hint of worry in her eyes.
······
In Heaven Wind Grotto-Heaven, a secluded underground cave, Chu Buyu sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat, his eyes slightly closed.
After a while, Chu Buyu opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
"Why has the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi become so chaotic? Is Fellow Daoist Shen attempting to break through to the Nascent Spirit Transmutation Realm?"
Chu Buyu muttered to himself.
In a simple Stone Chamber, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground, with a Golden Jade Box and a cyan Jade Box placed in front of him.
"It's time to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm!"
Shen Long spoke to himself, his gaze resolute.
He secluded Secluded Cultivation for fifty years to prepare for his breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation.
He has been in the Heaven Origin Realm for over a hundred years. The Seven-Treasure Glazed Fruit has ripened. With the Seven-Treasure Glazed Fruit and the Five-Light Morning Origin Fruit, he plans to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm.
Shen Long picked up the Five-Light Morning Origin Fruit, took a bite, and found the flesh sweet and juicy.
Not long after, he ate the Five-Light Morning Origin Fruit, and a huge amount of energy rose from his abdomen.
He quickly circulated his internal energy to refine it and closed his eyes.
Outside the cave, gusts of wind howled, and the ground shook violently as if an earthquake had struck, with billowing dust and smoke rising everywhere.
Chu Buyu and Shen Hai left their residence and stood guard thousands of miles away, as did Iron Tail Scorpion and Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
"So this is what it means to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm?!"
Chu Buyu was secretly surprised.
Numerous enormous cracks, hundreds of feet wide, appeared within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, making the entire area seem as if it were about to collapse, with smoke and dust filling the sky.
After a short while, Chu Buyu smelled a peculiar scent, which resembled some kind of Sandalwood Incense, but upon closer inspection, it also smelled like flowers.
"The Sandalwood Transformation of the Physical Body!"
Chu Buyu asked in surprise, his expression becoming tense.
Spirit Transformation cultivator once appeared in the Sun and Moon Palace and left behind his insights on breaking through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm.
There are four major hurdles for Nascent Soul Cultivator to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm. The first hurdle is the physical body Sandalwood Transformation, where the physical body undergoes a transformation, which is very difficult.
Many Nascent Soul Cultivator Spirit Transmutation Realm fail to pass the first hurdle.
One's physical body must be exceptionally strong to Sandalwood Transformation. This is somewhat better for Body Cultivator, but ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator can only rely on external objects to strengthen their physical body.
This doesn't mean that the stronger the physical body, the better. The stronger the physical body, the more powerful the Law Power, the divine soul, and the Divine Sense must be. All four must be strong enough.
As time passed, the scent grew stronger and stronger, filling the surrounding area with a fragrance that closely resembled Sandalwood Incense.
Half an hour later, a deafening clap of thunder rang out, and a huge Thunder Cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The surrounding area turned black, Thunder Cloud rolled and surged high in the sky, and countless silver lightning bolts roamed endlessly.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Shen's Divine Sense, Law Power, and soul are all strong enough to have attracted Lightning Tribulation. Once he passes the Lightning Tribulation, he will be able to advance to the Spirit Transmutation Realm."
Chu Buyu muttered to himself.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderclap resounded, and a thick bolt of silver lightning struck down, heading straight for the cave where Shen Long was.
A large amount of Yellow Mist surged from the ground, obscuring the surrounding area for miles around. Silver lightning disappeared into the Yellow Mist, accompanied by a muffled thud.
Soon, the second Lightning Tribulation struck, followed by the third.
Time passed slowly, and bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck down one after another, gradually dissipating the Yellow Mist.
Even though Shen Hai and Chu Buyu were on guard thousands of miles away, they still felt a powerful sense of oppression, making it difficult for them to breathe.
