537: Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the Unity of All Laws

Inside the cave in Tianling Academy's ancestral land, the light of the holy spirit runes grew even more intense. Lu Chen's cultivation mark on the cave wall flickered in and out of existence, exuding a Holy Spirit Dao charm that spanned ancient and modern times.

Lu Shaoyou sat cross-legged in front of the stone wall, clutching the holy spirit jade pendant in his palm. The warm, smooth touch of the jade pendant spread from his fingertips, and a faint yet pure Holy Spirit Power slowly flowed into his Dantian. At this moment, his cultivation was at the Early Stage of the ninth level of Golden Core, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, and the complete Myriad Manifestations Art was the key to breaking through this barrier.

"Everyone, I am about to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Please protect me," Lu Shaoyou opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the people beside him, his voice steady and powerful.

Zhao Yanran nodded. With a flick of her jade fingers, the colorful light screen of the Spirit Plant Talisman Array enveloped the entire cave. On the light screen, the Spirit Plant veins and talisman array runes intertwined, isolating all external disturbances. "Brother Lu, rest assured. With my Spirit Plant Talisman Array here, even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator wouldn't be able to easily break in."

Xuan Feng walked to the cave entrance and activated the Dragon Trapping Formation. A phantom of a green giant Dragon circled the entrance, letting out a low roar that intimidated the surrounding Yao Beasts. "I will guard the cave entrance here and will never let anything disturb your Breakthrough."

Qing Heer stepped forward, lightly tapping her fingertip, and a life-death grass emerged from the ground. Black and white halos flowed on its leaves, and the Life-Silence Balance Power it emitted slowly seeped into the Spiritual Qi of the cave. "I will use the life-death grass to harmonize the Spiritual Qi for you, making your Breakthrough more stable."

Savage Tiger gripped the giant axe in his hand, standing beside Qing Heer, his tiger eyes wide open as he vigilantly scanned the surroundings. "Whoever dares to cause trouble, I'll cleave them with one axe!"

The Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion also stood side by side, the guardian marks on their foreheads flashing with white light, and the guardian power around them surged, protecting the cave impenetrably.

Seeing the determined eyes of everyone, a warm current surged in Lu Shaoyou's heart. He took a deep breath, sinking his mind into his Dantian, and formed the hand Seals of the Myriad Manifestations Art.

"Om—"

In the Dantian, the Golden Core suddenly erupted with a golden light. The Profound Truths of the Myriad Worlds Myriad Laws Art and the Myriad Manifestations Art intertwined, transforming into two streams of light that circled around the Golden Core. Lu Shaoyou circulated his Cultivation Technique, drawing upon the energy of the seven realms spirit web.

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside the cave surged wildly, and the Veins of the seven realms spirit web appeared in the Void Realm. Streams of colorful light, like a Milky Way pouring down, broke through the clouds and converged towards the cave. The moment the Spiritual Qi poured into his Dantian, the Golden Core began to spin frantically, its speed increasing rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound.

Early Stage of Golden Core ninth level, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Peak!

His cultivation soared like a rocket, quickly reaching the Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Now!"

Lu Shaoyou silently chanted, circulating the Myriad Manifestations Art to its extreme. The Holy Spirit Power transformed into a sharp longsword, fiercely piercing towards the Bottleneck.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed in his Sea of Consciousness, and the Bottleneck shattered.

But the trial of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage had only just begun.

The moment the Bottleneck shattered, the Golden Core exploded, turning into a golden mist. Within the mist, countless runes surged wildly: Holy Spirit Power, Chaos Qi, Power of Reincarnation, Spirit Plant Power, Ultimate Silence Power... Myriad Laws Power fused within the mist, condensing into a vague phantom.

This was the nascent soul prototype!

But just as the Nascent Soul was about to take shape, a powerful Heaven and Earth pressure descended from the sky, like Mount Tai pressing down, fiercely striking the phantom. The phantom shook violently, showing signs of dissipating.

This was the Heaven and Earth baptism that must be endured when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage!

"What if it's Heaven and Earth pressure? I will go against the heavens!"

Lu Shaoyou roared, drawing out all the power from the holy spirit jade pendant. The jade pendant burst forth with a brilliant light, and a wisp of Lu Chen's residual soul power merged into the nascent soul prototype. At the same time, he activated the Hongmeng Dao Platform phantom deep within his Sea of Consciousness. The Hongmeng Dao charm, like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle, instantly stabilized the shaking Nascent Soul.

"Myriad Laws Return to One, Nascent Soul Manifest!"

A furious shout echoed through the cave.

The golden mist rapidly contracted, and the nascent soul prototype slowly solidified. This Nascent Soul was entirely multicolored, with a Hongmeng Dao pattern on its brow, a pair of Holy Spirit wings on its back, and surrounded by Chaos Qi and Reincarnation light. It was indeed a myriad laws nascent soul that had fused the characteristics of the Seven Realms!

The moment the Nascent Soul formed, a powerful Nascent Soul Stage pressure soared into the sky, breaking through the Restriction of the cave and echoing throughout the entire Tianling Academy ancestral land. The Yao Beasts in the forest prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Just then, a crisp sound rang out—

"Clatter!"

A multicolored Jade Slip fell from the Nascent Soul's brow and rolled to Lu Shaoyou's feet. On the Jade Slip were seven large characters: "Myriad Laws Return to One of the Nascent Soul Stage," exuding a rich Hongmeng Dao charm.

Lu Shaoyou bent down to pick up the Jade Slip and extended his Divine Sense into it. It contained detailed methods for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation and how to fuse the Myriad Laws Power with the Nascent Soul to unleash even greater power.

"Myriad Laws Return to One of the Nascent Soul Stage!" Lu Shaoyou was overjoyed. With this Cultivation Technique, his path in the Nascent Soul Stage would undoubtedly be smoother.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth phenomenon outside the cave grew even more intense. The energy of the seven realms spirit web continuously poured into the cave, not only helping Lu Shaoyou break through to the Nascent Soul Stage but also nourishing everyone present.

Zhao Yanran bathed in the colorful streams of light. Her Formation attainments had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage level, and now, nourished by the Spiritual Qi, her Dao Heart became even firmer, and the power of the Spirit Plant Talisman Array increased again. Xuan Feng's Dragon Trapping Formation received the blessing of the Holy Spirit Dao charm; the phantom of the green giant Dragon became more solid, and its combat power surged. Qing Heer's life-death grass absorbed the Seven Realms Spiritual Qi and evolved into a Thousand-Year life-death grass, and her cultivation also broke through to the Late Golden Core Stage Peak. Savage Tiger's Physical Body became even stronger under the washing of the Spiritual Qi, showing faint signs of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion also benefited greatly. The former's guardian power became purer, and the latter's golden mane became more brilliant, with both their combat strengths increasing by a notch.

"Great! We all broke through!" Zhao Yanran felt the surging power within her, her pretty face full of joy.

Xuan Feng laughed heartily, his eyes filled with excitement. "Thanks to Brother Lu, I finally touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Qing Heer looked at the evolved life-death grass in her hand, her eyes full of surprise. "The life-death grass has evolved! Now the efficiency of purifying the Ultimate Silence Power can be increased several times!"

Savage Tiger gripped his giant axe, feeling the surging power within him, and roared excitedly, "Awesome! This is too awesome! Now, even if I encounter a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, I can fight!"

Lu Shaoyou slowly stood up, feeling the power of the Nascent Soul within him, filled with enlightenment. He could clearly feel that his connection with the seven realms spirit web had become even closer, and with a single thought, he could mobilize the Spiritual Qi of the Seven Realms.

What surprised him even more was that there was a miniature Hongmeng Dao Platform mark on the brow of his myriad laws nascent soul. This mark, like a seed, was deeply rooted within the Nascent Soul, exuding a faint Hongmeng Dao charm.

"This miniature Hongmeng Dao Platform mark should be the key to breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage in the future," Lu Shaoyou murmured, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Just then, Old Man Wang walked in from outside the cave, looking at Lu Shaoyou, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, his eyes full of gratification. "Good lad, you truly are the one chosen by Ancestor Lu Chen. You've broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly."

"It's all thanks to the Ancestor's Legacy and the help of my companions," Lu Shaoyou bowed respectfully, his tone humble.

Old Man Wang waved his hand and chuckled, "This is all the Opportunity you deserve. Now that you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, your strength has greatly increased, and the Seal on the Lord of Ultimate Silence will have a few more layers of protection."

He paused, then added, "But you must remember, the Nascent Soul Stage is just a new starting point. To completely Seal the Lord of Ultimate Silence, you will need even stronger power."

Lu Shaoyou nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Junior understands. The path to guarding the Myriad Worlds is long and arduous, but I will never retreat."

Everyone exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with determination.

The sunlight outside the cave streamed in, illuminating everyone's figures. The energy shield of the seven realms spirit web enveloped the ancestral land, and the colorful streams of light, like rainbows, were breathtakingly beautiful.

Lu Shaoyou gripped the "Myriad Laws Return to One of the Nascent Soul Stage" Jade Slip in his hand and looked up at the sky.

The cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, the power of the myriad laws nascent soul, and the foreshadowing of the miniature Hongmeng Dao Platform mark.

A new journey was about to begin.

And his path of guardianship would continue to write an even more glorious legend in this vast Myriad Worlds.
