455: Yuan Shen first formed

Qiong Shuang's playful smile vanished from her small face in an instant, her dragon eyes widening into perfect circles:

"B-b-Breakthrough?!"

She was so shocked her tongue tied itself in knots. "So fast?! Half... half a day and already..."

Immediately, she puffed out her flat little chest, patted it with her little claws until it made a thumping sound, and spoke with a solemn expression:

"Big Brother, go Undergoing Tribulation without worry! With me here, not even a fly will be able to get inside!"

Yao Delong nodded slightly and stepped into the Immortal Cave gate, where flickering flame runes flowed and shifted.

The heavy, thick Profound Fire stone door slammed shut, cutting off the inside from the outside.

The layered Starfire Overlapping Grand Array activated, completely transforming this place into a sacred site for Undergoing Tribulation that belonged solely to him!

Inside the Secret Chamber, the essence of magma and earth fire, so dense it was nearly liquefied, swirled endlessly.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged on the massive crimson crystal platform in the center, without a hint of hesitation!

He instantly slapped into his mouth a golden-red Medicinal Pill that he had nurtured with special techniques; its pill body was wrapped in nine condensed dao patterns resembling divine chains, and it exuded an aura where destruction and Rebirth coexisted!

The Nine-Turn Soul Transformation Stage Pill—part of his reliance for the Breakthrough!

Boom—!!!

The Medicinal Pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth! In an instant, it was as if a ten-thousand-foot ice core had been thrown into boiling hot oil!

It was also as if a stellar core had been detonated in the silent Dead Sea!

An indescribable power of breaking boundaries, fused with a massive medicinal force capable of burning all living things yet containing infinite vitality, transformed into the most violent energy tsunami. It instantly swept through his limbs and bones, slamming fiercely into his Sea of Consciousness and Dantian, which had long been suppressed to their limits!

Inside the Dantian, the Nascent Soul, born from the super-ninth-grade Golden Core—its entire body flowing with glazed treasure light, its flesh and blood texture as clear as if alive, like a miniature Yao Delong shrunk ten million times—suddenly opened its eyes!

Crimson-gold burning flame divine light ignited within its pupils!

"Condense Yuan, transform into Spirit! Now is the time!" A thought exploded in Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness like a thunderclap!

The invisible shackles of the limit, bound deep within the core of the Nascent Soul, shattered at the sound!

The massive Divine Soul Origin, accumulated for too long and capable of shaking the stars, along with the equally vast and pure true essence mana, were like billions of rivers finding their common destination, rushing madly toward the "Primordial Spirit Point" suspended above the Sea of Consciousness, between reality and illusion!

Hum—!!!

The entire Secret Chamber and Immortal Cave were shaking violently!

From the core passage beneath the stone platform, which connected to the earth's heart fire veins, came a roar like that of ancient earth fire!

The Nascent Soul was no longer just a "second body" and energy core controlled by its master's will.

It was merging into one with the "spiritual sense," "memory," "will," and "dao seed" that originated from the very source of life!

It was like casting refined iron into a furnace, shattering its old form, using the Divine Soul as fire and Foundation as charcoal to smelt and cast a brand new, immortal—Primordial Spirit!

This process was extremely dangerous! The intersection point of the Divine Soul and Nascent Soul power was like fighting on a tightrope over a ten-thousand-foot cliff!

If one were slightly careless, the conflict between soul and infant would cause the Foundation to collapse; at best, the dao foundation would be destroyed and he would become a cripple, and at worst, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

But Yao Delong's accumulation was too profound!

The Physical Body forged by the Great Sun Glazed Golden Body was like the sturdiest fortress!

That Divine Soul strength, far exceeding those of the same rank, was like a boundless sea!

What was deposited within the Dantian was the pure Yang Origin and the ancient pure energy of Yin-Yang Harmony!

Furthermore, the yin-yang enlightenment disk in the Sea of Consciousness, condensed by the System and existing between reality and illusion, spun round and round, emitting a balanced aura that moistened things silently, guiding the violently rushing power and causing it to fuse rather than conflict!

Hundred Refinements, waiting only for this moment!

"Condense!"

Under the guidance of the yin-yang enlightenment disk, the vast power was like stardust being kneaded by an invisible hand, continuously converging, compressing, and solidifying toward the "Primordial Spirit point"!

It transformed from an illusory spiritual soul projection into a materialized spiritual core!

Time lost its meaning in the scorching air of the Immortal Cave.

Nearly a month!

The figure sitting in the center of the crimson stone platform, his body wrapped in the intertwined golden-red burning flame spiritual light and deep blue star-evil radiance, was like an ancient, immortal statue.

Finally—after the rumbling within his body and the tremors in his Sea of Consciousness reached a certain critical point!

That infinitely compressed core suddenly lit up! Like the first ray of light at the beginning of the Universe!

A pure, condensed spiritual core containing boundless, vast consciousness and the brand of "Yao Delong"—the Primordial Spirit prototype, was finally condensed!

Like a heart in an embryo, it began its first powerful beat!

Hum!!!

A majestic will that transcended the mundane, like an invisible ripple, instantly swept across the Restrictions on the four walls of the Immortal Cave!

Although he had not yet opened his eyes, the entire world was already completely different in Yao Delong's "perception"!

The air was no longer simple Spiritual Qi particles, but countless subtle fire elements, Five Elements particles, and space dust flowing according to some ancient and precise rule-based rhythm!

He did not need to deliberately circulate his energy; with a slight movement of his intent, the fire element Spiritual Qi around him obeyed his every command, turning into nimble flame dragons that circled and shuttled through the Void Realm!

His Divine Thought had long since transcended the category of "perception." With one thought, it swept out like an invisible army of the mind, instantly colliding, cutting, and condensing on the outer Restriction wall into a giant crimson-gold mental shield!

This was the true manifestation of Divine Thought! Where the thought moves, the Law is born!

"So that's how it is... This is the pulse of heaven and earth..." A realization welled up in Yao Delong's heart.

The "Dao" between heaven and earth was no longer an ethereal concept, but had transformed into countless strands of Law that could be touched.

The burning of fire was the dance of violent rules of destruction and the reconstruction of subtle elemental power.

The flowing of water was the gentle ensemble of gravity Laws and the most intimate repulsive forces between substances on the stage of time and space.

His understanding of heaven and earth had risen to a whole new dimension!

"The wondrous uses of the Primordial Spirit... truly miraculous!"

As his thoughts turned: If the Primordial Spirit is not extinguished, the will lasts forever! Even if the Physical Body turns to dust, as long as the Primordial Spirit core is not extinguished, one can either hide in a Magical Artifact to avoid disaster, rely on a deep Foundation for Possession and Rebirth, or switch to cultivating the ghost immortal path; all offer a chance to continue the Dao and start over!

This is an essential leap in life form!

Commanding heaven and earth! With every gesture, he could draw upon the Origin Qi of heaven and earth within a hundred miles for his own use, as natural as breathing.

Although mana needs to be accumulated and activated, as long as the Primordial Spirit does not decline, the ability to communicate with and transform the Origin Qi of heaven and earth is nearly infinite!

Moving mountains and filling seas, gathering clouds and controlling thunder, all are within a single thought!

Divine Thought penetrates the mysteries! The gaze is like a sword, Divine Thought manifests into form!

With one thought, he can evolve divine weapons and sharp blades to slash the enemy's Primordial Spirit and soul, or he can construct an invisible divine shield to protect himself!

The detection range has soared several times over! Every detail is revealed!

Shrinking the ground to an inch! The Primordial Spirit prototype communicates with space Laws and can already vaguely perceive the trajectory of space folding.

Although he cannot yet truly tear through the Void Realm to perform ultra-long-distance displacement, short-distance dodging and moving are faster than flowing light—true teleportation!

For the current Yao Delong, mundane physical distances have been greatly shortened! This is the initial ability of spatial teleportation!

Lifespan has soared! For a Nascent Soul Cultivator, over a thousand years is the limit.

But now that the Primordial Spirit is initially formed, the Lifespan Bottleneck has suddenly opened, breaking through in one fell swoop to a staggering four thousand five hundred and sixty-eight years!

Thousands of years of winters and summers pass in the snap of a finger; the path to longevity is already within reach!

Various other miraculous abilities, such as the Primordial Spirit Domain, clear-mindedness, and the prototype of the Dharma Image... all require careful comprehension and Cultivation in the future to be fully mastered.

However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent!

The moment the Primordial Spirit is initially formed is also the critical node when the mind is most unguarded and thoughts are most volatile!

The Heart Demon Tribulation, descending from above the Nine Heavens, from the boundless, dark, and unknown, has already silently infiltrated the Sea of Consciousness!

The Heart Demon is formless, born from the heart.

In Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness, the images suddenly twisted and changed!
