Chapter 559: 306 “Breakthrough Nascent Soul” and “Soaring Strength” (Subscribe Please)_2
At this moment, he was sitting calmly above the spiritual vein, waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation to cleanse him.
A slender thread of lightning, as thin as a line, dropped from the dark clouds above and struck Milton Cheney.
In that moment, his body was enveloped in the gleaming lightning, and the purple light cast upon his face, reflecting his serene expression.
“Indeed, just as I expected, it’s almost effortless for someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root to undergo the Thunder Tribulation.”
Feeling the first stroke of thunder, Milton Cheney murmured to himself.
When the lightning struck his body, he barely felt a thing.
Even his cultivation method instinctively started to operate, drawing in the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, only a small amount was absorbed, and the rest dissipated directly, since the impurities within Milton Cheney’s body were already few to begin with.
The essence of the Heavenly Tribulation, after all, is to cleanse the impurities within the body.
From Qi Cultivation to Golden Core Great Perfection, Milton Cheney had hardly taken any pills with impurities.
This meant that his body would undergo the cleansing of the Heavenly Tribulation with much more ease than other Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators.
At this moment, Milton Cheney even had the feeling that, even if he took a nap now, he would probably easily survive the tribulation.
What Milton Cheney didn’t know was that this was not an illusion.
Regardless of how much he took it seriously, the heavens would never pose any real threat to him.
As time slowly passed, another eight strands of lightning splintered out from above the dark clouds over his head.
Without exception, these bolts of lightning all eventually struck Milton Cheney’s body.
When the last bolt hit, the Golden Core within Milton Cheney shattered at that moment, transforming into a miniaturized version of himself that dropped into his dantian.
This minuscule figure was Milton Cheney’s Nascent Soul.
Having passed the Thunder Tribulation, Milton Cheney sensed the changes within himself.
And the transformation this time was incredibly significant.
Milton Cheney felt his Divine Sense expand hundreds of times over in an instant.
This could not be referred to as Spiritual Power anymore—it should be called Divine Sense.
Once, the scope of his Spiritual Power was two hundred meters, but now Milton Cheney’s Divine Sense could easily cover nearly fifty thousand meters.
A leap in quality!
Even Milton Cheney, as experienced and knowledgeable as he was, couldn’t help feeling emotional at this moment.
The strength and quantity of his Spiritual Power also increased by many tens of times at that instant.
Such a change indicated an extremely frightening improvement.
Now, Milton Cheney felt that he could easily eradicate the person he once was with just a minor spell.
Remember, Milton Cheney had only just become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
And even though his cultivation had stabilized smoothly after the breakthrough, thanks to his Heavenly Spiritual Root, he had only just entered the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, after becoming a Nascent Soul, the most important improvement was how much stronger his ability to protect himself became.
In a battle between different Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it is exceedingly difficult for one side to kill the other.
Take, for example, a fight between a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator and an early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator might be able to obliterate the bodily form of an early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, but they would struggle to eradicate the Nascent Soul.
Beyond residing in the dantian, the Nascent Soul can also conceal itself within Heaven and Earth.
Unless the other Nascent Soul has a way to restrict Heaven and Earth, it would be difficult for a late-stage Nascent Soul to kill an early-stage one.
If that late-stage Nascent Soul has ties, such as family or sect members,
then even if they do not face retaliation from the early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, their family or sect members may not be so lucky.
This is also why it’s rare for Nascent Soul True Monarchs to trigger large-scale battles in the Cultivation Realm.
The Cultivation Realm of the Four Nations had not been without its powerful True Sects in the past.
Thirty thousand years ago, there was an exceptionally strong True Sect within the Four Nations Region called the Departed Moon True Lineage.
The sect had no fewer than five Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
That was one more than the combined number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the other three sects at the time.
But in the end, the Departed Moon True Lineage still fell.
Because they forced their hand against another True Sect and one of their hidden Nascent Soul True Monarchs escaped.
It so happened that this runaway Nascent Soul True Monarch was exceptionally skilled at concealment.
He began by incessantly slaughtering those Departed Moon True Sect cultivators who left the sect to train.
Whether they were in Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core, he could easily kill them from tens of thousands of meters away and then escape without a trace.
Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would not be able to find any clues.
This person even went to the Central Western region of the thirteen domains of the Northern Continent to find an assassin organization, just to slaughter the cultivators of the Departed Moon True Lineage.
Gradually, due to the passing of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Departed Moon True Lineage and the external hunts, the Departed Moon True Lineage slowly declined.
With it gradually dissipating in the torrents of time and history.
Therefore, in the region of the Four Nations, it’s almost impossible for a True Sect to unify the entire Four Nations realm.
Which family doesn’t have a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
Even if there really was a period when the True Sect lacked a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the sect’s foundation still lay there.
Not to mention the checks and balances from the other three sects.
Unless an Immortal Sect could arise.
But that is nearly impossible as well.
After all, even though the realm of the Four Nations is quite large when combined, at its core, it still belongs to the impoverished lands of the Northern Continent.
In tens of thousands of years, the entirety of the Four Nations realm produced only one Immortal Sect, that is, the White Jade Immortal Sect, and none other.
As Milton Cheney pondered, he perceived two spots of light as intense as the blazing sun appearing within the range of his Divine Sense.
These two points of light were approaching him at great speed.
“Two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”
“These two must be the two Supreme Elders from the Purple Melody True Sect.”
Milton Cheney’s heart stirred slightly.
Almost the instant he perceived them, they appeared before him.
Looking at Milton Cheney’s handsome and refined features, one of the arriving Nascent Soul True Monarchs smiled faintly,
“Congratulations, fellow daoist, on forming your Nascent Soul, the great Dao awaits you!”
“When does fellow daoist plan to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony?”
Hearing this, Milton Cheney wasn’t surprised.
“Let’s set it for a year from now,”
Milton Cheney said.
He knew the sect wanted to leverage his momentum, and he didn’t feel like refusing; hence, Milton Cheney didn’t put on any airs.
After all, such news was almost impossible to hide. A sect was simply too vast, with far too many disciples.
There would always be those who would take risks and betray the sect, that was inevitable.
Moreover, the stir caused by Milton Cheney’s breakthrough was too great, other disciples within the sect who should know, already knew.
Thus, Milton Cheney saw no need to keep it hidden.
After Milton Cheney finished speaking, another Nascent Soul True Monarch also solemnly said, “Congratulations, fellow daoist, on forming your Nascent Soul!”
As time slowly passed, the only three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Purple Melody True Sect began to converse on the spot.
This exchange proved to be extremely beneficial for Milton Cheney.
“Does fellow daoist wish to go to the Purple Melody Mystic Realm for cultivation now, or wait until after the Nascent Soul Ceremony?”
The Blazing Sun True Monarch asked.
Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney did not hesitate,
“After the Nascent Soul Ceremony. I still have some matters to tend to.”
“After the ceremony, I may also need to leave the sect and return to my family for a while. Having been away for hundreds of years, it’s time to go back for a visit.”
After Milton Cheney’s words fell, the other two True Monarchs also nodded with a smile, expressing understanding.
Their mood was quite good at this moment.
After all, having an additional Nascent Soul Cultivator in the sect, and a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator at that, was definitely a great event.
Just like Earth Spiritual Root cultivators have a significant chance to reach Nascent Soul,
Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators have a considerable chance to truly become Deity Transformation God Monarchs.
If the probability of an Earth Spiritual Root making a breakthrough to Nascent Soul is one in thirty, then the feasibility for a Heavenly Spiritual Root to achieve Deity Transformation is one in ten.
Of course, this one in ten assumes that the Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator has already become a Nascent Soul.
If starting from scratch, the odds are roughly one in thirty as well.
That is to say, Milton Cheney now has a not insignificant possibility of becoming a Deity Transformation God Monarch.
At this time, Thousand Sword Peak was no longer suitable for Milton Cheney’s cultivation, since the Spiritual Vein here was merely a third-grade vein.
Within the Purple Melody True Sect, the most suitable place for Milton Cheney to cultivate was the Purple Melody Mystic Realm.
This was the place where all the former Supreme Elders practiced, drawing in no fewer than three fourth-grade Spiritual Veins.
