Chapter 123 - 123 What Is Nascent Soul?
Zhou Yun looked at Meng Yuxin, who was still sitting on the skeletal throne, in shock. She was only controlling a spiritual corpse, yet she was able to display the power of a nascent soul. Just how terrifying was Meng Yuxin’s true strength?!
At this moment, Zhou Yun felt another sense of pressure! The stronger Meng Yuxin was, the more pressure he felt!
He was only in the mid-stage foundation establishment, but he was strong enough! He was already able to face a golden core cultivator head-on and not be defeated. He even managed to kill the injured Jian Xin.
Furthermore, he also comprehended the fire essence body on his own and developed a comprehensive intent manual. He was an absolute prodigy within the five sects!
However, he was captured by the terrifying heretic cultivator sect leader who had suppressed the world a thousand years ago. Moreover, he was a great heretic cultivator who could use the combat power of a nascent soul!
Zhou Yun felt that he was numb! Why did he, a cultivator who had yet to leave the novice village, meet the most powerful boss behind the scenes the first time he left Spirit Valley?
‘I’ve only cultivated for a short time! If I had another five years, no, even if it was only two years, I would be able to deal with the current predicament!’
Zhou Yun was unwilling to give up. He had the system and was extremely hardworking. Why did he have to face such a predicament?
“The so-called nascent soul is one soul and three spirits that form one body, comprehending a hundred forms of the common people and comprehending the Dao of the world. It is done by scattering the cultivation base and training again from the beginning. Only when the seven spiritual and six physical forms gather again and sum up one’s own understanding of the world can one form a nascent soul.”
“The so-called nascent soul stage can use three Daos and a commandment. The three spirits are the three Daos formed by the comprehension of three lifetimes. A commandment is a Dao cultivated by one soul that has comprehended the laws of the heavens and earth.”
“Zhou Yun, the right protector’s attack seems very powerful to you, right? But from what I can see, all he can do is borrow the power of the laws of heaven and earth. It had a skeleton but no core. A gentle blow from the wind can cause it to collapse.”
The spiritual corpse walked out from the altar. Its entire body was emitting fluorescent light, and its entire body was filled with soul energy.
Zhou Yun listened carefully to the words of the spiritual corpse. Many ideas seemed to appear in his mind, but he could not grasp them when he wanted to. He could only watch as the countless ideas slipped away from his hands.
“A nascent soul’s Dao foundation isn’t that simple. Every golden core cultivator is already regarded as a heaven’s favorite, and it takes hundreds of years to reach the great stage of the golden core and the first step on the path of the heavenly Dao. You’re only at the foundation establishment stage right now, so you should first understand your golden core before you go and learn about the nascent soul.
“Even if you’re extremely talented and can quickly enter the Enlightenment State, it’s still too early for you to reach the nascent soul stage. Even if you force it, it’s just a castle in the air, like a dream.” The spiritual corpse shook its head and gently touched Zhou Yun’s forehead.
Zhou Yun only felt a chill on his forehead and a cool sensation in his mind. Only then did he come back to his senses from the countless complicated thoughts.
Zhou Yun looked at the spiritual corpse and then at Meng Yuxin. Was Meng Yuxin teaching him cultivation?
“You can only show your most brilliant light in this world after you attain the golden core. Believe me, you’ll definitely be of great use. So don’t die before that. I don’t want to let your junior sister take your place to complete my plan.” the spiritual corpse shook its head. It then pointed at Qiao’er, causing Zhou Yun to feel nervous.
“Sigh, I can’t help but chat when I see talented disciples. I’m indeed old.” It was just a spiritual corpse, but it twisted its neck and walked to the front of the skeletal throne.
“Right protector, since my great plan is about to succeed, you can die for the Soul Guide Sect’s great plan.” As the spiritual corpse spoke, he slowly waved his hand at the sky, as if he was fanning a small flame.
At the same time, the right protector’s attack finally landed.
Zhou Yun instantly felt an extremely powerful pressure! He bent his legs slightly and forced himself not to kneel!
Just the pressure that seeped in after being cushioned by the skeletal throne was enough to cause cracks to appear on the body of the golden core spiritual corpse under Zhou Yun’s feet!
“Brother Zhou Yun, are you alright?” Qiao’er raised her head and looked at Zhou Yun worriedly. When she saw Zhou Yun’s veins popping out to help her resist the pressure, she felt extremely distressed.
“I’m fine. I can still handle this kind of pressure.” Zhou Yun gritted his teeth. He activated all the intents in his body and amplified them. Leg intent! Foot intent! Sole intent! Toe intent! All of them surged forward!
With the intent in his legs as the main force and the intent in his neck as the supplementary force, the rest of the intents was amplified by these intents. At this moment, Zhou Yun finally managed to stand up!
“The intent can actually use certain parts as the main force, allowing those parts to exert an even more powerful combat power. This is an unexpected surprise.” Zhou Yun tried to find joy in his suffering. If he could amplify all the intent to the muscles required to swing the sword, he would be able to swing out an even more terrifying sword Qi!
“Swish!” the dark clouds in the sky were squeezed open by a huge object!
It was a huge finger! Even though Zhou Yun was thousands of feet away from it, he could not see the full appearance of the finger!
A finger that could cover the sky! The lines on it were extremely clear!
The right protector’s attack had yet to land, but the aura of his finger alone was enough to crack the ground! There were countless collapses and earthquakes. In just a short moment, the entire ground had been forced to be lowered by a few hundred meters!
“Oh!” Zhou Yun felt his shoulder sink! After the giant finger appeared in the sky, he felt an even stronger pressure pressing down on him!
Zhou Yun tilted his head and looked at Meng Yuxin. He even suspected that Meng Yuxin was deliberately releasing the pressure!
Zhou Yun gritted his teeth. He knew that he would not be able to withstand the pressure on his body just by relying on his intent! He had to use other powers!
“I can only use the fire essence body!” Zhou Yun gritted his teeth. His entire body began to turn red, as if he was about to burn! Every inch of his skin turned fiery red, and it was as if lava was flowing in his blood vessels instead of blood!
“Brother Zhou Yun! Are you alright? Why is my body suddenly so hot?” Qiao’er cried out in alarm. She was shocked when she saw Zhou Yun’s appearance!
Not everyone had the phoenix blood like her, which contained powerful strength and warmth. If a normal person’s blood was this hot, they would have died long ago!
“I’m fine. Qiao’er, you stay here quietly.” Zhou Yun forced out a smile. This was the first time he had used his fire essence body and intent with all his might!
All the spiritual energy in his body was mobilized! Zhou Yun was like a man of fire. The temperature in his body became extremely hot. Spiritual energy circulated through every inch of his skin, making his body even hotter, but at the same time, it made his body stronger and more powerful!
Zhou Yun’s body grew to a terrifying height of three meters! It was like a fire giant!
“Oh? He actually has the Saint Fire Body. I didn’t expect to see such a body in this small place. No wonder you have such a high aptitude.” The spiritual corpse exclaimed in surprise when it saw Zhou Yun’s transformation.
“Prepare to face the battle, heaven’s favorite! If you can withstand the aftermath of the next battle, I promise not to kill you. If you don’t, hahaha!” The spiritual corpse laughed.
At the same time, the huge finger in the sky slowly descended!
