Zhu Yin's Aid
Within Song Wen's dantian, in the golden elixir.
The Nascent Soul had fully formed, with its limbs and facial features clearly discernible, almost identical to Song Wen, a miniature version of Song Wen.
The Nascent Soul's eyes suddenly opened, shooting out like two bolts of lightning.
In an instant, the cracks on the surface of the Golden Core spread rapidly, covering the entire surface of the Golden Core in a flash.
With a 'snap'.
The Golden Core shattered.
The bursting Golden Core transformed into golden mist, instantly filling the entire Dantian.
Within the golden mist, the Nascent Soul sat cross-legged, his hands Hand Seals.
The newly emerged nascent Nascent Soul, like a starving man, frantically devoured the Spiritual Qi in the Dantian.
The golden mist was instantly absorbed by the Nascent Soul; however, this was not enough to satisfy Nascent Soul needs, and it continued to devour the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Gathering Formation is gradually becoming insufficient to meet the needs of the Nascent Soul.
As a result, a massive vortex of Spiritual Qi appeared above the island, drawing in Spiritual Qi from a radius of a thousand miles and channeling it into the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul's body gradually became solid, and its eyes began to move.
The unusual fluctuations in Spiritual Qi attracted the attention of the Demon Beast in the surrounding waters.
Some powerful Demon Beast were not deterred by the oppressive Spiritual Qi energy; instead, they headed towards the island.
In the minds of ferocious beasts with limited intelligence, stronger fluctuations in Spiritual Qi signify the emergence of rarer and more precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
On the east side of the island, a giant lizard covered in scales and with bony spurs on its back crawled onto the beach.
On the west side of the island, a giant serpent with a long body and a cold, gleaming appearance slowly swam towards us.
On the south side of the island, the waves rolled and a giant octopus burst out of the water, its tentacles like iron chains, covered with serrated suckers.
On the north side of the island, a giant eagle swooped down from the sky.
Zhu Yin watched as the Demon Beast surged forth from all directions, then glanced back at Song Wen's cave abode, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
There were six Demon Beasts that appeared near the island, most of them being third-tier Demon Race, while the giant octopus was a genuine fourth-tier Demon Beast.
Even if she were to face it head-on, she wouldn't be confident of victory, not to mention the five third-tier Demon Beast eyeing her from all sides.
Just as she was struggling with this problem, the giant octopus moved.
It extended a huge tentacle, like a swift steel whip, spanning several miles, and coiled towards the lizard on the east side of the island.
The lizard appeared somewhat clumsy in the face of this swift attack.
Just as it was about to turn around and return to the sea, it was caught by the tentacles.
The tentacles tightened continuously, like a giant python trapping its prey; the serrated edges of the suckers instantly pierced the lizard's flesh, drawing blood.
The octopus retracted its tentacle and put the lizard into its mouth. At the same time, its other tentacle coiled towards the giant eagle.
The giant eagle reacted much faster than the lizard. It flapped its wings and soared rapidly toward the sky, narrowly avoiding the swirling tentacles, leaving only a few feathers to drift away in the wind.
Most of the other Demon Beast on the island were also frightened away by the octopus, except for one unlucky giant tortoise, which was rather slow and followed in the footsteps of the lizard.
The demons were frightened away by the octopus, but Zhu Yin did not feel relieved at all. On the contrary, her expression became even more solemn.
The octopus's strength far exceeded her expectations; if it wanted to attack Song Wen's cave abode, she would have no chance of stopping it.
Zhu Yin looked up at the sky and saw that the huge vortex of Spiritual Qi was still devouring the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, and the speed of devouring showed no signs of slowing down.
This means that it will take Song Wen quite some time to condense his Nascent Soul.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Yin finally raised her hand and waved it, sending out a blood-red Corpse Coffin.
The Corpse Coffin, growing to several meters in size, was about to crash into the octopus.
Just then, Song Wen's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Zhu Yin, wait a moment. I've set up a demon-trapping illusion array on the island. I'd appreciate it if you could control the array and help me trap the Demon Beast."
As they were speaking, a Formation Plate flew out of Song Wen's cave abode and swept towards Zhu Yin.
The demon-trapping illusion array that Song Wen set up was the fourth-tier array he had Purple Cloud purchase—the <Illusory Demon-Locking Formation>.
He had made up his mind long ago to go to the Outer Sea to form his nascent soul.
The Outer Sea seas are teeming with ferocious beasts. These beasts are powerful, but their intelligence is limited. They can be easily trapped using illusion arrays.
Song Wen originally planned to form his Nascent Soul while simultaneously controlling the formation.
But with Zhu Yin present, he no longer needs to control the formation himself.
Zhu Yin caught the Formation Plate that flew towards her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. 'Extreme Yin' had set up an array on the island, and she had been completely unaware of it.
However, this is exactly in line with the usual way of doing things by 'Extreme Yin': planning ahead and being prepared for everything.
Immediately, the control method of the <Illusory Demon-Locking Formation> echoed in Zhu Yin's mind; it was Song Wen transmitting his voice to her.
Under Song Wen's guidance, Zhu Yin somewhat clumsily performed a series of Method Formula seals.
The twelve Formation Flags appeared from various directions on the island.
The array's range rapidly contracted, enveloping the octopus that was feasting on the south side of the island.
Suddenly, a large amount of mist surged up from the twelve Formation Flags, instantly filling the entire array.
From the outside, the area inside the formation was already a vast expanse of white.
The sudden turn of events made the octopus, which was wolfing down its food, tense up. It stopped chewing, and its eight thick tentacles moved in unison, slamming against the array barrier.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Each impact of the tentacles produced a deafening roar.
The array barrier swayed incessantly, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Zhu Yin's Method Formula was solemn as she rapidly formed hand seals, continuously channeling her Law Power into the Formation Plate to maintain its stability.
Under her control, the formation barely held on.
As time went on, the octopus's attacks gradually became more indiscriminate.
It seemed to be bewitched, no longer attacking the array barrier, but instead relentlessly striking the rocks within the array.
The earth shook violently, the mountain rocks shattered into pieces, and countless stones were scattered.
Within the formation, the scene was instantly devastated, with shattered stones and deep tentacle marks everywhere.
One month later.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted over the island.
The enormous vortex of Spiritual Qi instantly collapsed.
The chaotic Spiritual Qi swept outwards in all directions.
The small island below the whirlpool was hit first; the entire island seemed to be overturned in that instant.
Countless trees were uprooted, and rocks were swept into the air, where they were torn to dust by the violent Spiritual Qi.
Chaotic Spiritual Qi swept outwards.
On the sea, a hundred-foot-high wave suddenly surged up, rushing rapidly in all directions from the small island as its center.
Inside the cave abode.
An infant who looked exactly like Song Wen was floating around in Song Wen's dantian.
The baby's face was full of excitement, as if celebrating its newborn birth.
After an incense stick had burned, Song Wen opened his eyes, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
In front of Song Wen, there was an unopened jade bottle.
Inside the jade bottle was an Infant Spirit Pill, which Song Wen had concealed when he was Alchemy for Purple Cloud.
He originally intended to take them, but after taking one Primordial Extremity Nascent Soul Pill and Infant Spirit Pill, his Nascent Soul had already begun to take shape, so he gave up on taking them.
