The power of a fourth-realm Demon King was far beyond that of a third-realm Demon General and required a long time to refine.
It seemed as though an instant had passed, or perhaps over a hundred years.
When Chen Beiwu circulated the Primordial Origin Cavern Truth Azure Splendor Immortal Art of Commanding Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits, guiding the vast magic power fed back through the Companion Beast Contract into his Niwan Palace, the Purple Mansion Yang Spirit embryo within his Spiritual Terrace's sea of consciousness erupted with dazzling light.
The previously vague, illusory Yang Spirit embryo, merely three inches tall, gradually became distinct, its features and figure taking shape little by little with some resemblance to Chen Beiwu.
Buzz!
Yet what surprised Chen Beiwu more was that, as time passed, a point of glazed wisdom light actually kindled smoothly between the Yang Spirit embryo's brows.
This wisdom light was no ordinary radiance, but the light of enlightenment and of true nature. It meant that Chen Beiwu's Yang Spirit embryo had already reached the realm of wondrous perfection in both form and spirit. What was wondrous perfection in both form and spirit?
Perfection of form meant that the Yang Spirit embryo had become completely stable and condensed as though solid, laying the foundation for the cultivator's future Yang Spirit to leave the body, roaming the Northern Sea at dawn and Cangwu at dusk. Perfection of spirit meant that the cultivator's soul essence had been cleansed and sublimated, generating wisdom light and heightening comprehension, bringing their perception and understanding of the laws of heaven and earth to an entirely new level.
Reaching this realm meant that Chen Beiwu was now only a thought away from becoming a Nascent Soul True Lord. With a single thought, he could begin attaining that station.
