Breaking Through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi sighed and said, "If Uncle Qing Hao fails to break through again this time, he will have to take longevity-promoting spiritual items if he wants to break through again next time."

He then thought of Chen Xianye and asked, "How is Xian Ye's cultivation progressing lately?"

"He's cultivating very quickly; he's already reached the Golden Core Eighth Layer realm."

Mentioning Chen Xianye, Chen Changxuan couldn't help but stroke his beard.

Although Chen Xianye was over 380 years old when he broke through to the Golden Core realm, he was still High-grade Golden Core. After gaining insight into life and death, his cultivation progressed extremely rapidly. It seems that he will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul within 60 years.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Xian Ye has extraordinary talent. After breaking through the cycle of life and death, he has already become a force to be reckoned with. It's a pity that his Lineage no longer possesses the Heavenly Dao Qi."

"And his lifespan isn't particularly long either."

The Old Clan Leader sighed inwardly. Chen Xianye's fortuitous opportunity was bad; there were still more than seven hundred years until the next Heaven-Earth Resonance, and he wouldn't live to see it again.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Nianzhi said, "I'll go see him."

"..."

After leaving Immortal Apricot Island, Chen Nianzhi found Chen Xianye on Sky Sword Island.

Sky Sword Island is one of the largest Spirit Isle in the Vast Sea. Beneath this Spirit Isle lies a Tier 4 High-Grade Metal Vein, which has nurtured a Sword-Washing Pool.

In recent years, Chen Xianye has been stationed on Sky Sword Island, spending his days meditating by the Sword-Washing Pool, comprehending the essence of swordsmanship.

Inside the Sword Sword-Washing Pool, Chen Xianye, dressed in a black robe, had a pair of Heavenly Separation Twin Swords around him that shone brightly, reflecting the sword intent within the pool.

Chen Xianye has been famous for many years. Although his pair of Heavenly Separation Twin Swords cannot compare to Chen Nianzhi's Demon-Refining Immortal Sword, they can still be considered among the best of the best among Tier 4 Magical Treasure.

However, the pair of top-grade immortal swords today are vastly different from Chen Nianzhi's Heavenly Separation Twin Swords, with significant differences in their internal array patterns.

More importantly, at this moment, the sword pattern between Chen Xianye's eyebrows was flashing, and his whole body was enveloped by a powerful sword intent, as if a sword was pinned there.

Chen Nianzhi stood at a distance for a long time before Chen Xianye lowered his eyes, opened them, and glanced at Chen Nianzhi calmly, saying, "Greetings, Uncle."

"Very good."

Chen Nianzhi smiled with relief before saying, "You've finally broken free from my shadow and forged your own path."

"But..." He paused slightly, then sighed, "The path of pure sword cultivation is too focused on unyielding integrity, making it far more dangerous than ordinary paths."

"I see."

Chen Xianye nodded, and with a crisp clang, a yin-yang dual-colored sword core flew out from his body, radiating boundless sword intent.

That Heavenly Separation Twin Swords underwent astonishing changes. The Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword possessed a domineering and desolate aura, while the Heavenly River Ren-Water Sword was filled with vibrant life.

"Sword Dao Golden Core realm, the Life-and-Death Twin Swords."

"From now on, my two Life-Bound Immortal Sword will be the Blazing Fire Annihilation Sword and the Ren-Water Rebirth Sword."

"A fine sword."

Chen Nianzhi exclaimed, "There is no distinction between high and low power in the world; the key lies only in the person who uses it."

Chen Xianye saw through life and death, and integrated it into his sword intent. The Blazing Fire Annihilation Sword is a domineering sword of destruction, while the Ren-Water Rebirth Sword nourishes all things and is full of infinite vitality.

The power of these two immortal swords signifies that Chen Xianye has forged his own path and is no longer Chen Nianzhi's shadow.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi sighed and then said, "I'll give you two paths; you choose for yourself."

"Firstly, I will prepare a stream of Earth Mother Qi for you, which will allow you to forge a Earth Dao Nascent Soul."

"Secondly, you should travel the world and, when the Abyssal Demon Calamity, slay a Nascent Soul demon. Then I will shamelessly ask the Ji Clan for a piece of Heavenly Dao Qi on your behalf."

Chen Xianye did not answer, but simply stood up. "Using the blood of True Lord to consecrate the sword is indeed an interesting challenge."

"..."

Back at Spirit Isle Lake, Chen Nianzhi began to cultivate in peace.

Time flies, and sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day Chen Nianzhi was cultivating the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pact with Jiang Linglong when he suddenly felt his Law Power become perfect and flawless, reaching the limit of the Third-Layer Nascent Soul realm stage.

Upon seeing this, he said, "Madam, I have reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

"Oh?"

Jiang Linglong was delighted. Over the years, they had often cultivated together to complement each other, and her cultivation had progressed rapidly under the guidance of her fellow practitioners. However, it would still take her about ten years to reach perfection.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nianzhi was one step ahead and finally reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

Thinking that Chen Nianzhi was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, she said happily, "Then let's start refining pills."

In fact, with Chen Nianzhi's talent, he could have broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage even without the help of the Earthly Dao Pill. However, without the Earthly Dao Pill, he would need to hone his Law Power for five hundred years.

Chen Nianzhi naturally didn't have time to waste, so she prepared to start refining the Earthly Dao Pill.

Refining the Earthly Dao Pill requires not only the invaluable Earth Mother Qi, but also a large amount of high-grade spirit medicine as auxiliary ingredients. Some Nascent Soul Immortals need many years of accumulation to refine even one batch.

If Rogue Cultivator wanted to refine a batch, it would probably take hundreds of years just to collect thousands of auxiliary herbs, or they would have to pay a considerable premium.

Fortunately, the Chen Clan had been preparing for a long time and had already gathered the necessary auxiliary medicines through various channels, so Chen Nianzhi didn't need to worry about it.

The Earthly Dao Pill was a Tier 5 Middle Grade pill. Even a Tier 5 Middle Grade Alchemist could only refine one or two pills in a single batch. Fortunately, Chen Nianzhi's alchemy skills had reached the high- Tier 5 Upper Grade, so refining it was not difficult.

The two used the Scarlet Phoenix Furnace as their Pill Furnace and spent more than a year successfully refining the Earthly Dao Pill.

"Four pills formed, not bad."

Looking at the four Earthly Dao Pill in front of him, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly.

He refined four Earthly Dao Pill in one batch, which means his Alchemy Art are quite good among the Tier 5 Upper Grade.

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly, then pondered for a moment and said, "Zi Ji's cultivation has already reached the Third-Layer Nascent Soul realm. Let's leave one of these Earthly Dao Pill for her as well."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head, took out a Earthly Dao Pill, and said, "Madam, please protect me."

Having obtained the Earthly Dao Pill, Chen Nianzhi began his seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. With his foundation as Daluo Nascent Soul, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage was a natural progression.

In just over a year, Chen Nianzhi broke through the threshold of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and advanced to the Fourth Nascent Soul Layer realm.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, his Law Power surged by another 50%. With his solid foundation, although his Law Power was not comparable to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Heavenly Dao foundation, it was roughly equivalent to the Seventh Nascent Soul Layer realm.

However, even though he broke through with the help of external forces, he still needs to spend three hundred years refining his Law Power Law Power so that it becomes as pure as that of Nascent Soul Late Stage.

However, this did not stump Chen Nianzhi. As long as he advanced his Life-bound Spirit Treasure, he could use the power of Tier 5 Upper Grade Life-bound Spirit Treasure to hone his Law Power.
