136: Chapter 136 I Want to Be a Real Man

Mo Yufei's heart stirred, and a light instantly lit up in his eyes.

His Golden Core now, having been reshaped in the Secret Realm through his Divine Soul and tempered in his Physical Body, was already completely condensed to Perfection, its Foundation extremely stable, without the slightest hint of hollowness or flaw.

He was only one step away from a Breakthrough, after which he could step into the Nascent Soul Stage and officially begin the Dao of Spirit Transformation.

In his mind, he clearly counted the five Spirit Beasts he had contracted—that is, Benboba and the others.

Xue Rong's ultimate healing, Benboba's speed and strength, as well as the unique Bloodline talents and special Physiques of the other three Spirit Beasts.

Once he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivated the Spirit Transformation Chapter, and fused the Bloodlines and Physiques of all five little ones.

His comprehensive abilities would directly double and stack, granting him self-healing Divine Abilities, a super-strong Physical Body, super perception, and the support of Spirit Beast talents.

By then, his Physical Body's recovery power and Divine Soul's capacity would skyrocket several times over; it would be impossible for him to appear so depleted again, and he should never suffer from kidney deficiency again, right?

Mo Yufei gently stroked the fur of Xue Rong in his arms, his resolve growing firmer.

He needed to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivate Spirit Transformation, and fuse the Bloodlines of the five little ones as soon as possible.

From now on, he would make himself thoroughly strong, heal his own body, fight continuously, and would never easily be exhausted or fall into such a pathetic, weak state again.

Benboba, watching from the side, saw him instantly recover to full health and stared with wide eyes, flapping its wings as it shouted: "Damn it! Xue Rong, why did you heal him so fast? In a moment, he's going to be tossing and turning again."

Mo Yufei couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the nagging Benboba, his heart filled with anticipation for the impending Breakthrough and strengthening.

The road to Spirit Transformation that belonged to him was already within reach.

Mo Yufei came to the Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard and raised his hand to gently press the array pattern switch on the wall.

Pale blue light instantly spread across the floor of the secret room in a crisscross pattern, and the Spirit Gathering Array fully activated.

Rich and pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in from all directions like a tide, circling and flowing around him, misting into layers of Spiritual Qi fog that completely enveloped him.

Mo Yufei sat cross-legged in the center of the array, closed his eyes, and let his mind settle completely.

He secretly focused and recalled yesterday's mistake; yesterday, he had been too impatient while trying to Breakthrough the Realm, forcibly pushing his Spiritual Qi, which caused his Golden Core to be unable to bear the burden and explode directly.

This time, he would absolutely not repeat the same mistake.

Mo Yufei suppressed all his restless thoughts, circulated his Cultivation Technique throughout his body, and guided the condensed and Perfect Golden Core within him to rotate slowly.

He controlled every wisp of Spiritual Qi within his body, being extremely careful, progressing step by step, not being greedy for speed, not acting rashly, and bit by bit, he urged the Golden Core to transform.

The majestic Spiritual Qi flowed continuously through his pores into his Meridians, docilely wandering through his entire body's channels, and slowly pouring into the core of his Dantian.

His Golden Core had long been reshaped in the Secret Realm and tempered by injuries, so its Foundation had not a shred of hollowness.

Under the nourishment and washing of the uniform and steady Spiritual Qi, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the round, condensed golden Dantian body.

Unlike the dangerous, violent explosion from yesterday, the cracking at this moment was extremely gentle.

The Golden Core dissolved layer by layer and melted slowly at an extremely steady rhythm, the golden Dantian fragments turning into pure golden Spiritual Qi that filled the entire Dantian, without a trace of disorder or any sign of running wild.

Breaking the core, forming the infant.

This was the crucial transformation for a Cultivator to cross from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, a qualitative leap.

The golden Spiritual Qi liquid gathered, swirled, and compressed slowly within the Dantian as countless threads of Spiritual Qi intertwined, continuously condensing and shaping.

As time slowly passed, the Spiritual Qi gradually condensed into a tiny Nascent Soul, about an inch in size, looking exactly like Mo Yufei.

Its features were clear, its form solid, and it was surrounded by the gentle and heavy Spiritual light of the Nascent Soul, its aura steady and long-lasting.

The moment the last wisp of Spiritual Qi merged into the Nascent Soul's body, Boom—a majestic aura of cultivation, far exceeding the Golden Core Realm, erupted from within Mo Yufei's body.

The shackles were completely broken, and the Realm was perfectly broken through.

He had steadily stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage.

The stable Nascent Soul sat quietly in the Dantian, the Divine Soul and Physical Body completely completing their second transformation, the Meridians widening and extending, the mana storage capacity skyrocketing several times over, and the Physical Body's load-bearing capacity and Divine Soul's strength all doubling.

Mo Yufei slowly opened his eyes, a flash of spiritual light passing through his pupils, his aura steady and profound, his entire presence renewed.

With this, he finally reached the threshold for practicing the Spirit Transformation Chapter and fully possessed the qualifications to replicate Spirit Beast talents and fuse the Bloodlines and Physiques of the five little ones.

Mo Yufei's mind stirred, and his body rose into the air, hovering directly in the very center of the fully functioning Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard.

The light from the array patterns lifted his body, and endless pure Spiritual Qi, like a pouring galaxy, continued to surge into his limbs and bones.

The moment he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the dust-covered Spirit Transformation Chapter within him was completely unsealed; the Origin of the Cultivation Technique perfectly matched his Nascent Soul Divine Soul, and layers upon layers of cultivation Profound Truths flooded into his mind.

The Spirit Transformation Chapter is about actively transforming into a Spirit body, a bit like the Seventy-Two Transformations.

The first level of authority is to integrate all contracted Spirit Beast talents, unifying ten thousand skills into one.

In an instant, Mo Yufei's Sea of Consciousness exploded, and thousands of dazzling talent abilities appeared out of thin air, categorized and orderly, covering all elemental techniques of Heaven and Earth, all of which were the Innate Divine Abilities of all the Spirit Beasts he had contracted in the Secret Realm.

Fire-element Divine Abilities were displayed prominently: Fireball, Fire Breath, Scorching, Flame Explosion, Fire Wall. Dominating and blazing, burning everything to ashes.

Water-element Divine Abilities followed closely: Water Gun, Water Cannon, Water Curtain, Whirlpool, Water Prison. Soft yet firm, trapping and defending against enemies.

Ice-element chilling cold took form: Ice Spike, Frost, Freeze, Ice Wall, Blizzard. Sealing all directions, freezing life force.

Wind-element movement techniques appeared at high speed: Wind Blade, Whirlwind, Tornado, Wind Pressure, Vacuum. Slicing through the air, coming and going without a trace.

Thunder-element thunder rumbled: Lightning Strike, Lightning Bolt, Electric Ball, Electric Claw, Lightning Net. Explosive and swift, breaking armor and overcoming evil.

Earth-element heavy and steady landed: Falling Rock, Earth Spike, Sandstorm, Quicksand, Earth Wall. Defending and attacking, controlling the terrain.

Wood-element life force intertwined and grew: Vine, Entangle, Parasite, Leaf Blade, Tree Prison. Binding the enemy's body, absorbing life force.

Poison-element sinister, treacherous, and hidden: Venom, Highly Toxic, Paralysis, Poison Mist, Corrosion. Silent and soundless, disintegrating combat power.

Light-element holy, gentle, and illuminating: Light Bullet, Holy Light, Flash, Heal, Shield. Healing and defending, strengthening the Foundation and cultivating the Origin.

Dark-element mysterious, deep, and dormant: Shadow, Curse, Life Drain, Teleport, Black Hole, Stealth Hunting, unpredictable in offense and defense.

A full ten elemental techniques, thousands of skills, were densely branded into his Divine Soul, ready to be deployed with a single thought.

At the same time, the supporting rules of the Spirit Transformation Chapter clearly emerged in his cognition.

All the replicated Spirit Beast talents could not be cast without cost.

The massive amount of Spiritual Qi he had absorbed and transformed in the Void Secret Realm was all stored within the Nascent Soul, turning into exclusive mana, which was the "mana bar" in games.

The release of any Spirit Beast skill required the consumption of corresponding mana energy.

If mana is full, all techniques follow one's will; if mana is exhausted, all Divine Abilities are lost.

Following the unlocking of the talents, the second core Profound Truth of the Spirit Transformation Chapter, the power of Bloodline Fusion, was completely unlocked.

Refining the pure blood essence of the contracted Spirit Beasts to fuse it into his own Origin Physical Body.

Once the Bloodline Fusion was completed, he could completely inherit the Spirit Beasts' Origin Physique, Innate advantages, racial talents, Physical Body strength, recovery ability, and Divine Ability compatibility, all of which would skyrocket.

But the Cultivation Technique had both pros and cons; there had never been a perfect shortcut in the world.
