109: Chapter 109 A bolt of lightning, early stage of Nascent Soul

Li Luochen's own success rate for reaching the Nascent Soul Stage had reached seventy percent, and with the supply of so many resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he felt very secure.

At first, he had no intention of using those Medicinal Pill resources; it would be even more perfect if he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage without relying on them.

As the Five Elements True Spirit Art for the Nascent Soul Stage began to circulate, the Golden Core within his Dantian spun rapidly.

He did not know how much time had passed, but layers of cracks appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, and it actually began to flake off.

Li Luochen was overjoyed; he had not expected to be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage without using those resources.

After all, the process of the Golden Core shattering and the Nascent Soul forming had begun, so what followed would be much easier.

As the outer shell of the Golden Core fell away, a faint, flickering Nascent Soul emerged from within.

However, at this moment, the Nascent Soul was extremely illusory, as if it could dissipate at any time.

Immediately following this, the fragments of the Golden Core transformed into energy, continuously surging toward the illusory Nascent Soul and slowly strengthening it.

By the time the Golden Core had completely disappeared, it had been replaced by that same illusory Nascent Soul.

Li Luochen knew the critical moment had arrived, so without the slightest hesitation, he quickly grabbed the five elements spirit liquid and consumed it.

After all, he was in the midst of assaulting the Nascent Soul Stage; everything had to be prioritized for stability, and he could not risk failing the Breakthrough just for the sake of a self-achieved Breakthrough.

The current Nascent Soul was merely an illusory form; if he could not make it transition from illusory to solid, the Breakthrough would fail, and he would ultimately end up in the False Infant Stage.

There was no possibility of further Breakthroughs in this Realm; although it was stronger than an ordinary Golden Core Peak, it could not compare to the true Nascent Soul Stage.

If a Golden Core Ancestor of some Family was nearing the end of their lifespan, they might be forced to break through to the False Infant Stage, which would also add a hundred years to their lifespan.

Of course, it certainly could not compare to the lifespan of the Nascent Soul Stage, as the Nascent Soul Stage offered a lifespan of 1,200 years.

As the three drops of five elements spirit liquid entered his stomach, the Nascent Soul in Li Luochen's Dantian rapidly absorbed the energy within, slowly transforming toward a solid state, as if the transparent Nascent Soul were being filled with Five Elements energy.

Seeing this, Li Luochen was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the five elements infant-condensing pill and consumed it.

As this Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, surging energy gathered together and flowed continuously toward the Nascent Soul.

Li Luochen was shocked, because he hadn't even refined the three drops of five elements spirit liquid yet, and he had already consumed the five elements infant-condensing pill.

The Five Elements True Spirit Art circulated rapidly within his body, constantly absorbing this energy and then converting it into the Nascent Soul.

Not long after, the Nascent Soul turned into a solid form, filled with Five Elements energy.

Li Luochen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not stop; instead, he continued to operate his Cultivation Technique, digesting the energy within his body.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning and thunder were raging; Li Luochen, who was Cultivating, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

Immediately after, he took a step, and his entire person appeared directly outside the cultivation room.

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, a smile could not help but spread across Li Luochen's face.

"Good, good, good. Lightning Tribulation, is it? It's just the thing to help me refine that medicinal power."

Although Li Luochen had broken through to the Early Stage Nascent Soul, the energy from the three drops of five elements spirit liquid and the five elements infant-condensing pill was still continuously erupting within his body.

If he didn't resolve this soon, the Five Elements True Spirit Art would barely be able to keep up.

When others broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, they wished they had more resources; who was like him, feeling that there was too much energy?

It was truly because he had consumed too many resources at once; the Nascent Soul was already nearly saturated, and if the remaining energy had nowhere to go, he would be finished.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder rolled.

This commotion also attracted the attention of the Li Family members, who flew out of their respective Immortal Caves one after another.

When they flew out, they saw Li Luochen standing proudly in the sky.

Feeling the powerful aura on Li Luochen, a thought appeared in their minds.

"Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!"

This was definitely the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation that one needed to overcome when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage; as long as he could survive the Heavenly Tribulation, Li Luochen would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Li Luochen raised his head, looking at the dark clouds in the sky and the rolling thunder within the clouds; a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, the thunder in the dark clouds instantly transformed into a pillar of lightning and then struck toward Li Luochen.

Li Luochen did not hesitate in the slightest; he charged directly toward the lightning and instantly collided with it.

The Five Elements Golden Body Art within his body began to circulate rapidly, quickly absorbing the power of the lightning and tempering his Physical Body.

At the same time, wisps of lightning quickly entered his body and headed toward the Nascent Soul.

After sensing the lightning, the Nascent Soul did not panic at all; instead, it quickly began to absorb the power of the lightning, tempering itself.

Immediately following this, the originally surging medicinal power within his body was quickly absorbed and refined, slowly raising his Cultivation.

Li Luochen was very satisfied with this, but it was a pity that the lightning lasted for too short a time and did not allow his Physical Body to advance further.

If he had also added the Fourth Rank Medium Grade Body Tempering True Liquid, it would definitely have allowed his Physical Body to advance further and break through to the Fourth Rank Middle Stage.

As for the Nascent Soul, through the tempering of the lightning and the supplementation of the surging medicinal power within his body, although its size had shrunk slightly, the energy within it was now even purer.

There was no need for it to stabilize his Cultivation at all, because his Cultivation had already been completely stabilized at the Early Stage Nascent Soul.

After feeling his own strength, Li Luochen smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, as if nothing had ever happened.

This was the Nascent Soul Stage Heavenly Tribulation; there was only this one strike, primarily intended to temper the Nascent Soul.

Li Luochen had broken through to the Early Stage Nascent Soul, and a smile could not help but spread across his face as he looked toward the other clansmen.

"Alright, it's fine now. Everyone, go back and Cultivate."

Li Yanzhong hurriedly asked: "Family Head, you have already broken through to the Early Stage Nascent Soul; should we hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony?"

Li Luochen shook his head and said: "Now is not the time. My Cultivation has only just broken through to the Early Stage Nascent Soul, and with the invasion of the Demon Race, it is truly not the time to hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony."

Hearing him say this, Li Yanzhong nodded thoughtfully.

"Understood, Family Head. Then, what will you be doing next?"

Li Luochen asked: "How much time has passed since I went into seclusion?"

Li Yanzhong said: "From the time you entered the cultivation secret chamber until now, a total of three years have passed."

Three years in the outside world was equivalent to nine years passing in Li Luochen's cultivation secret chamber.

Although he had spent the first two-plus years improving his Physical Body Cultivation, it was the latter six-plus years that he had spent in seclusion breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

He hadn't expected that his Breakthrough would actually take six years, but that was not bad.

There were still two years left, which meant six years in the cultivation secret chamber; that should be enough for him to improve himself properly.

"Alright, you all go. I am going back to continue Cultivating; the war outside is not optimistic."

"However, Yunmeng Immortal City and Chenyuan Immortal City are still relatively safe; you can go there to purchase resources."

Li Yanzhong and the others nodded slightly and quickly retreated.

However, everyone's face was filled with excitement; after all, their Qianlong Li Family now had a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor.
