252: Perfection of the Three Realms

Following its guidance, you quickly found Qin Yu in a courtyard located in a secluded alley.

You handed the Top-Grade Spirit Vein to her.

She accepted it solemnly, and when she looked up at you, her eyes were filled with worry: "Brother, why must you stay in the Liu Clan alone? Why not... come to the academy with me?"

You smiled: "Ordinary powers rarely have a cultivation environment like the time-space pagoda. Besides, staying there with my current identity is actually safer."

"Then you must promise me to keep a low profile and stop acting like the reckless playboy you used to be." She frowned.

You reached out and ruffled her hair, smiling: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

She nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at you, her eyes slightly reddened.

You smiled and waved at her.

She pursed her lips, turned resolutely, and her figure quickly vanished at the end of the long street, heading in the direction of the Kunlun Dao Academy.

You did not linger either, instead returning directly to the Liu Clan Immortal Family and heading straight for the time-space pagoda.

Relying on the privileges granted by the 'black gold jade pendant', you were successfully assigned a cultivation stone chamber.

The second year,

In the time-space pagoda, time flew by, and ten years passed.

You sat quietly in the Spiritual Qi-filled secret chamber, and the twenty Top-Grade Spirit Stones around you had all turned into powder.

A majestic aura rose from within your body; the Nascent Soul in your Dantian was as solid as glazed glass, and spiritual light shot forth as you opened and closed your eyes—

Nascent Soul Peak, achieved!

You did not stop, turning instead to Cultivate your Physical Body.

The fifth year,

Thirty more years passed in the pagoda.

You focused on tempering your Physical Body, using True Yuan as a hammer and Dao intent as fire, repeatedly refining your entire body.

Until this day, when you suddenly felt your bones take on a jade-like luster, your Meridians stretch out like a galaxy, and a gentle, warm radiance flow across your skin, as flawless and translucent as freshly fallen snow.

Supernatural Power Realm Perfection—

Physical Body Perfection!

It is said that the next step is the legendary Earthly Immortal Realm, which requires combining the Physical Body, Nascent Soul, and Divine Soul during the Breakthrough to Soul Transformation and the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation lightning, in order to truly achieve that immaculate, undying immortal body that lives as long as heaven and earth.

Although your Physical Body is now perfect, you still lack that baptism of heavenly lightning and the transformation of Soul Transformation.

Only by enduring the calcination of the Heavenly Tribulation can the mortal body be thoroughly refined into an immortal foundation, freeing you from the shackles of the mundane, where every movement contains the rhythm of heaven and earth.

You felt the changes in your body and found it truly wondrous—

It felt as if a gentle clench of your fist could crush mountains, and a slight stomp of your foot could shake the earth.

You had an illusion—that what flowed through your flesh and blood was no longer just blood, but a boundless, surging force that was endlessly alive.

Every breath resonated with heaven and earth; with every movement, it seemed as if the entire landscape was responding to your existence.

"So that's how it is!" A light of realization flashed in your eyes, and you could not help but exclaim in pleasant surprise.

You finally understood—why one must achieve Perfection in Realm, Physical Body, and Divine Soul to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

Realm Perfection allows one to resonate with the Laws of heaven and earth, becoming a bridge that connects the inner and outer.

Physical Body Perfection is refining the body into an immortal Dao vessel, sufficient to bear the great power of heaven and earth during Soul Transformation.

Divine Soul Perfection is using the mind as a rudder to steer this leap in the level of life.

The three must be combined; none can be missing.

Just like the three legs of a tripod, they jointly support the path to the heavens.

Only in this way can one remain intact during the Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, truly transcend the mundane, and embark on the Righteous Path of the immortal journey.

Now that your Physical Body was complete, the path ahead became increasingly clear.

You suppressed your joy and continued to Cultivate the Limitless Primordial Chaos Art.

The ninth year,

Time flowed in the pagoda, and forty years passed.

On this day, you closed your eyes and focused, and waves suddenly surged in your Sea of Consciousness.

The originally calm Divine Soul power began to vibrate violently, then gathered and condensed toward the core like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"Boom—!"

A majestic, invisible force surged out from between your brows, sweeping through the entire stone chamber like a monstrous wave.

The Spiritual Qi in the room trembled, ripples appeared in the Void Realm, yet you felt your spirit was clearer than ever before.

Divine Soul Perfection!

At this moment, your Divine Sense was like a mirror, capable of reflecting every minute detail around you; your thoughts were like lightning, capable of discerning the changes in the energy of all things.

In your Sea of Consciousness, a natal Divine Soul as solid as glazed glass sat quietly, identical in appearance to you, radiating warm and vast spiritual fluctuations.

Thus, the Nascent Soul, Physical Body, and Divine Soul had all reached the Realm of Perfection.

The path to Soul Transformation was now at your feet.

At the same time, you clearly felt the surging power within your body—it was a contrast in strength that was almost absurd.

The you of today could likely deal with the you from before you went into seclusion in just a single thought.

This leap-frog growth made you have unprecedented expectations for your strength after Soul Transformation.

You closed your eyes and could even vaguely perceive the traces of Laws flowing around you.

They were like threads, lingering in every crack of space, as if you could touch them if you wished, and trigger them with a thought.

But you knew deeply—without breaking through to Soul Transformation, it was all just a reflection in a mirror or a flower in the water.

These powers seemed close at hand, but in reality, they were still separated by a chasm.

You steadied your mind, not intending to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation here—because this was Liu Clan territory.

Breaking through here would be tantamount to exposing your true colors and inviting disaster.

You slowly stood up, the surging aura around you receding like the tide, and then you stepped out of the stone chamber.

In the eyes of others, you were still that low-cultivation, inconspicuous attendant.

As long as you did not take the initiative to act, no one would be able to see through your disguise.

After leaving the time-space pagoda, you arrived at Liu Ruyan's Immortal Cave on Ningyue Immortal Mountain.

Her eyes immediately shone with brilliant radiance, and she hurried forward to greet you, gently taking your arm: "Young Master, you have finally come out of seclusion... I have been thinking of you all this time."

You smiled and stroked her hair: "My cultivation has come to a temporary end, and I need to leave the Liu Clan Immortal Family to find a suitable place to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation."

"Has Young Master already reached the Perfection of the three Realms?" She widened her eyes, her face full of joy.

She hesitated slightly and asked softly: "Do you need me to go with you? Although my strength is not as good as yours, I would like to do my part and act as your Protector."

Your expression was serious as you shook your head: "Your identity is too conspicuous, and it is easy to attract attention. It is safer for me to go alone."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes as she said softly: "Then Young Master... can you stay a few more days? After this parting, I do not know when we will meet again."

Seeing you smile and nod, she immediately beamed, snuggling into your arms as her previous melancholy vanished in an instant.
