221: The secret of heaven cannot be revealed

However, his current Realm was at the Perfection of Nascent Soul, just one step away from successfully breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Previously, he had been delayed because he lacked a Cultivation Technique.

Now, it was time to make the Breakthrough.

Just as Jiang Lan was about to give the System a command, he suddenly stood up and shook his head.

Jiang Lan had a premonition.

The commotion he would create by breaking through to Soul Transformation would likely be immense.

He didn't want to collapse his house.

Jiang Lan stood up, pushed open the window, and rapidly flew towards the outskirts of the Luan Mo Region.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived back at the Stone Forest where he had previously killed two Lion Demonss.

This place was not close to the Luan Mo Region, so even if there was a commotion, it wouldn't affect the Luan Mo Region itself.

Jiang Lan wasn't too concerned about being disturbed.

He wasn't breaking through on his own; he was relying entirely on the System.

Although his Physical Body would also undergo changes during the Breakthrough, Jiang Lan wasn't actually running a Cultivation Technique.

If he wanted, he could even break through while fighting others.

He could do both without delay.

Therefore, even if someone suddenly came to disturb him during his Breakthrough, Jiang Lan wouldn't care.

Sitting cross-legged in the Stone Forest, Jiang Lan whispered:

"Fill my cultivation to the max!"

【Year 1: You begin your Breakthrough.】

【Year 2: Due to your solid foundation, there is no resistance during the Breakthrough process. Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to Soul Transformation First Level!】

"Boom!"

As the System's screen scrolled, Jiang Lan's Aura suddenly surged dozens of times over.

Even the surrounding Stone Forest trembled wildly.

If anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm were in front of him now, they would likely be instantly crushed to death by this Aura!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Jiang Lan's Qi and blood roared like the Yellow River flowing into the sea, each sound reverberating for several miles.

This change even startled him.

Jiang Lan now felt as if he had completely transcended the 'Human' category.

At the same time, the smaller Nascent Soul in his Dantian became even more crystal clear, its eyes open, seemingly filled with divine light.

His Aura continued to surge, reaching over a hundred times its previous strength before slowly stopping its growth.

Inside Jiang Lan's Dantian, the Nascent Soul emitted a strange fluctuation that instantly enveloped his entire body.

Jiang Lan's muscles, tendons, and all his limbs were transformed by this strange fluctuation.

Stronger! Stronger! Stronger!

As if without end, Jiang Lan's Physical Body rapidly solidified.

Now, with a casual punch, he could smash his former self into a pulp.

After an unknown period, the Breakthrough process finally ended completely.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes, first feeling the surging power within him, then strangely raised his head and looked at the sky.

Strange, why did it turn cloudy?

It was perfectly fine when he came out earlier.

Although it was getting dark, this was clearly not just nightfall.

Above his head, the dark clouds were purplish-black.

At the same time, the System's text continued to scroll.

【Year 11,249: Although you have tried your best to cultivate, due to the short time, you have not broken through.】

However, at this moment, Jiang Lan no longer had the mind to look at the System, but instead looked at the sky with a somewhat panicked expression.

In the thunderclouds, electric snakes flickered, as if lightning could strike down at any moment.

Jiang Lan vaguely thought of a possibility.

Could it be a damn Lightning Tribulation?

No one told him that breaking through to Soul Transformation required Undergoing Tribulation!

...Meanwhile, in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, on the main peak of the mountain, inside a magnificent palace.

On a giant chair in the palace sat a giant over two zhang tall.

The giant had an exaggerated physique, with bulging muscles all over his body and dark green skin, giving him an explosive sense of power.

Coupled with his height, if he stood up, he would be almost as tall as a normal two-story building.

Opposite the big man sat an old man with white hair and beard, looking like an immortal Taoist Priest.

However, he appeared to be less than seven feet tall.

In front of the giant, he looked like a toy.

The two were playing chess, the giant with black pieces and the old man with white pieces.

The chessboard was also oversized, but even so, it was only about the size of two of the giant's palms.

Originally, the two were playing chess with great relish, but in an instant, they both stopped their movements and simultaneously looked towards the Luan Mo Region.

The old man's expression was somewhat horrified.

"Soul Transformation Tribulation Cloud? Someone has broken through to Soul Transformation?"

The giant's face was also solemn.

"Luan Mo Region? I don't remember any existence about to break through there. The most powerful one in that place seems to be only a Demon Infant Fourth Level."

"Who do you think it could be?" the old man asked.

The giant thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't know. In my impression, there shouldn't be any masters about to break through within the territory of my Ten Thousand Demons Hall."

The old man smiled, his expression clearly showing disbelief.

"If it's not a Demon from your Ten Thousand Demons Hall, could it be a Human from our Human Race?"

"This..."

The big man hesitated.

After all, the Tribulation Cloud appeared in the direction of the Luan Mo Region.

Although the Luan Mo Region was an unsupervised place, it was still within his jurisdiction.

The white-haired and bearded old man then continued:

"It's useless for you to hide your intentions. Since the Human-Yao Alliance has been formed, if you conceal it, someone will deal with you later."

The big man looked wronged.

"I really don't know."

The old man waved his hand.

"Whether you know it or not, since he has achieved Soul Transformation, he can join our circle. This is your Yao Race territory, so it's inconvenient for this old man to show up. You go."

"Tsk... Alright, but we have to wait until the Tribulation Cloud dissipates," the big man said. "Although the Tribulation Cloud won't have too much impact on him, as a fellow Soul Transformation cultivator, if I go there, it will definitely incur the Heavenly Dao's displeasure. I haven't lived enough yet."

Upon hearing this, the old man lowered his eyes, as if contemplating something.

A moment later, the old man reopened his eyes, his gaze flickering for an instant, then said:

"Never mind, let's continue. Anyway, even if you don't go looking for him, he will find you before long."

"Oh?" The big man's eyes flashed, "You've calculated it?"

The old man chuckled lightly and picked up a white piece, "The secrets of the Heavenly Dao cannot be revealed."

The big man was quite disdainful.

"'The secrets of the Heavenly Dao cannot be revealed,' you Taoist Priests of the Miao Fa Pavilion only know how to act mysterious."

The old man didn't reply, simply looking at the chessboard as if studying how to make his next move.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, in reality, a surging tide had risen in the old man's heart at this moment.

With the Karma of the Human Race and Yao Race upon him, who exactly was it that had achieved Soul Transformation this time?
