68: Breakthrough to the Infant Transformation Realm! An astonishing transformation!

"Is that so?"

"Then I'll wait for Junior Brother to break through to the Nascent Transformation Realm, then directly pass the position of Clear Wind Sect's Sect Head to you before heading to the Central Region."

Ling Yue's words were shocking; he actually intended to pass the position of Sect Master directly to Zhang Yang!

"This..."

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Ling Yue smiled and said, "There's no need to say anything. Your strength is fully worthy of the position of Clear Wind Sect's Sect Master."

With Zhang Yang's current strength alone, he could suppress everyone in the Clear Wind Sect, let alone after he broke through to the Nascent Transformation Realm.

By then, in the entire Southern Region, perhaps only Revered Master would be able to fight Zhang Yang without being disadvantaged!

"There's no need for that. After Zhang Yang breaks through to the Nascent Transformation Realm, I still have things for him to do."

"At that time, I will serve as the Acting Sect Master of the Clear Wind Sect for a while."

Xie Chonghe said; with Zhang Yang's natural talent, he was destined not to stay in the Southern Region for too long, and being the Sect Master would only waste his time.

Zhang Yang was suited for another path!

"Once you break through to the Nascent Transformation Realm, I will tell you what needs to be done." Xie Chonghe looked at Zhang Yang with a faint smile.

"Mhm." Zhang Yang nodded.

Three days later, Zhang Yang had finished reading all the insights and had gained a sufficient understanding of how to break through to the Nascent Transformation Realm.

"It's time!"

Zhang Yang stood up. At this moment, his aura had reached the threshold of the Ninth Level of the Profound Core Realm. As long as he wished, he could break through to the Nascent Transformation Realm at any time!

"Then let's go." With a wave of Xie Chonghe's hand, the three of them appeared at the place where Ling Yue had recently undergone tribulation.

After bringing Zhang Yang to the location, Ling Yue and Xie Chonghe returned to the mountain peak from which they would watch.

"It's time!"

Zhang Yang looked toward the sky, and the aura within his body began to disperse, triggering the world's Lightning Tribulation.

In the next instant, dark clouds appeared out of thin air, shrouding half the sky.

The size and aura of these tribulation clouds were significantly weaker than the ones Ling Yue had faced not long ago.

Seeing the tribulation clouds, many Disciples within the Clear Wind Sect stopped to watch.

"Tribulation clouds again! Which Genius in the Sect is breaking through to the Nascent Transformation Realm!"

"Our Clear Wind Sect is indeed the number one Sect! To think another Nascent Transformation Realm Martial Artist has emerged!"

Within the Clear Wind Sect, many Elders also stopped what they were doing and looked toward the tribulation clouds, speculating which Genius was breaking through to the Nascent Transformation Realm!

Upon clearly seeing the person beneath the clouds, the Elders were all stunned.

How could it be Zhang Yang? Hadn't he just broken through to the Profound Core Realm not long ago? How was he already breaking through to the Nascent Transformation Realm!

The Elders all found it unbelievable. To break through to the Infant Transformation Realm, besides being able to withstand the Lightning Tribulation, one also needed to comprehend their Concept to the seventh level!

Only then could they guide the violent power of the Lightning Tribulation, combining the two to shatter the Profound Core and transform it into a profound infant!

Among these requirements, a seventh-level Concept was essential; otherwise, one would only be injured or even killed by the Lightning Tribulation without gaining any benefits!

Had Zhang Yang's Concept reached the seventh level? The shock on the Elders' faces was irrepressible.

They were all former geniuses. Cultivating from the first level to the ninth level of the Profound Core Realm was quite simple, as long as there were sufficient resources.

But wanting a Concept to break through from the fourth level to the seventh was not so easy!

Every one of them had raised their cultivation to the Ninth Level of the Profound Core Realm within a few years, but they had been stuck for decades—some even a century—on breaking through to the seventh level of their Concept!

How many years has Zhang Yang even been cultivating!

The Elders shook their heads, thinking of the Grand Elder, Xie Chonghe.

They didn't actually know much about this Elder; when their own Revered Masters were in the Clear Wind Sect, Xie Chonghe was already its Grand Elder!

"Could this be a method of the Grotto-Heaven Realm?"

The Elders thought to themselves that Zhang Yang had only been the Grand Elder's Disciple for a few months, yet he had made such progress.

Aside from the methods of this mysterious Grand Elder, they could think of no other explanation.

Many Elders felt a surge of envy.

Zhang Yang floated beneath the tribulation clouds, feeling quite relaxed. The power of the Lightning Tribulation for breaking through to the Nascent Transformation Realm couldn't harm his current Physical Body at all.

In the next instant, a bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel struck down, tearing through the air and landing on Zhang Yang's head.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes. His ninth-level Concept began to bind and fuse with the power of the Lightning Tribulation striking his body. Under his control, it began to impact the Profound Core to achieve the Nascent Transformation Realm!

Inside Zhang Yang's body, the nine-layered cloud-patterned dao rhyme golden core shone brightly, completely absorbing the power of the Lightning Tribulation and the Concept.

Within Zhang Yang's Sea of Consciousness, his Primordial Spirit also glowed faintly before charging directly into the dao rhyme golden core.

Zhang Yang's aura began to strengthen, and cracks started to appear on the dao rhyme golden core.

The subsequent nine lightning strikes fell one by one, each stronger than the last, but Zhang Yang remained unharmed.

After the final nine lightning strikes fell, Zhang Yang's dao rhyme golden core shattered completely.

From it emerged a one-inch-tall golden figure that looked exactly like Zhang Yang; this was the profound infant, a Martial Artist's second life.

As long as the profound infant was not destroyed, one could rebuild their Physical Body!

In the next instant, Zhang Yang's profound infant left his body, rose into the tribulation clouds above, opened its small mouth, and swallowed all the clouds whole.

It then returned to Zhang Yang's body, hovering at the Dantian.

Zhang Yang's profound infant opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing all the Origin Power and Concepts within his body into itself.

After a while, Zhang Yang's profound infant grew slightly, reaching one point eight inches.

The profound infant exhaled, and Zhang Yang's Primordial Spirit returned to his Sea of Consciousness. At the core of the Primordial Spirit, a trace of pure yang golden light flashed! Zhang Yang's Primordial Spirit now possessed the essence of a Grotto-Heaven Realm Yang Spirit.

As the Concept returned to his body, Zhang Yang could feel that it was different from before; it seemed to have undergone a transformation!

Given a bit more time, this Concept would be able to complete its transformation!

[Name: Zhang Yang]

[Cultivation: First Level of Nascent Transformation Realm]

[Aptitude: dao rhyme golden core!]

[Yang Spirit transforming! Law power transforming!]

Zhang Yang checked his status panel. Sure enough, his Primordial Spirit was transforming into the Yang Spirit that only those in the Grotto-Heaven Realm possessed!

After the ninth level of Concept, one would comprehend the power of Laws!

"I didn't expect such a change to occur! Is this the dao rhyme golden core?"

Zhang Yang marveled inwardly. Among the many Breakthrough insights in the Sect, there was no mention of a transformation like his.

Usually, a profound infant would be born and reside in the Dantian, the Primordial Spirit would be born and reside in the Sea of Consciousness, and the Concept wouldn't change at all.

"Previously, in the Profound Core Realm, I already possessed the Primordial Spirit of an Nascent Transformation Realm. Now, in the Nascent Transformation Realm, my Primordial Spirit has begun to transform into the Yang Spirit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

"Doesn't that mean the only difficulty for me to break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm is opening the grotto-heaven seed!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt a bit excited and expectant.

He wondered what kind of changes the profound infant formed from the dao rhyme golden core would undergo once he broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Xie Chonghe and Ling Yue approached Zhang Yang.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on breaking through to the Nascent Transformation Realm!"

Ling Yue said with a smile, while simultaneously observing Zhang Yang's entire body closely.

After enduring nine rounds of Lightning Tribulation, not even the corner of his clothes was ruffled. Truly terrifying!
