208: In the Land of Return to Nothingness, the Nascent Soul begins to materialize!

Cultivators' sense of time seemed to be very blurred... Su Ling spent time bonding with his fellow Disciples, and before he knew it, a long time had passed.

During that period, they consumed countless spirit fruits and spirit teas.

It wasn't until ten days later that Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple walked out of the great hall with Immortal Venerable Rong Huo and others.

After another round of greetings, Clear Ripple led Su Ling to a private courtyard within her Immortal Cave.

"Revered Master..."

After sitting down, Su Ling hesitated to speak.

Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple shook her head and chuckled, "Don't be in a hurry. The Extreme Yin Land has already been arranged for you. Once you have meditated and regulated your breathing for three days, you may head there."

"Thank you, Revered Master!"

Su Ling was overjoyed to hear this. Over the past few days, he had felt that the circulation of the magic power in his body was becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

Clearly, he had reached the critical point of Nascent Soul Condensation and could no longer suppress it.

Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple casually tossed him a Storage Pouch. "These are things I have prepared for you; they should be helpful during your Nascent Soul Condensation."

Su Ling took the Storage Pouch and thanked her repeatedly.

"There are many elegant pavilions in this courtyard. Pick any one you like. Go on."

"Yes, Revered Master."

After taking his leave of Clear Ripple, Su Ling went straight to an elegant pavilion on the west side.

Closing the door, he activated the Formation Restriction and meditated for a moment before opening the Storage Pouch his Revered Master had given him.

"Hiss..."

Seeing the contents clearly, Su Ling couldn't help but grin. "I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Inside, there were over a hundred bottles of Tier 4 Medicinal Pills alone, in addition to many Tier 5 Medicinal Pills needed for cultivation and healing.

As for those Yin-attribute and Lightning-attribute Materials, they were all supreme grade spiritual Materials that could assist in Nascent Soul Condensation.

The total value was at least over ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Revered Master doesn't act often, but when she does, she's incredibly generous!"

Su Ling laughed and put all these things into his Storage Ring.

Then, he calmed his mind and began to adjust his state, preparing for Nascent Soul Condensation... Three days later, in the deep sea of the Yunlan Realm.

Ye Hong took Su Ling aboard a Stealth Sea Vessel, and it took several hours to reach an undersea abyss.

As the sea vessel continued to descend, Su Ling keenly felt an extremely dense Yin Qi constantly surging forth.

"This place is the Land of Guixu for the Abyssal Dragon Whales of the Yunlan Realm..."

When the sea vessel passed through an invisible membrane and appeared in an underground cave emitting a faint glow, Ye Hong explained, "Dragon Whales themselves possess the True Dragon Bloodline and have exceptionally strong vitality. When their Lifespan is near its end, they travel thousands of miles to this place to pass away. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the accumulated Yin Qi has become enormous. Among all the Extreme Yin Lands in the Yunlan Realm, this place is the foremost."

Having said that, he looked at Su Ling and said seriously, "This place is guarded by the remnant souls of the Dragon Whale clan. Junior Brother Su, when you enter, you can show the token I gave you earlier to pass through unimpeded. However, do not go too deep; even a True Immortal would find it difficult to resist the Yin Qi at the center of Guixu."

"Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother Ye. I will be careful."

Su Ling nodded, took a deep breath, and flew out of the sea vessel.

With that layer of Restriction light membrane blocking the seawater, the Land of Guixu appeared unusually dry.

Perhaps because the Dragon Whales were so large, the entire cave, even the passages, were exceptionally wide.

Deep in the cave, a dark purple vortex, like the mouth of a giant beast, swirled with countless tiny phosphorescent lights. The whale cries, sounding like bells, echoed dully through the passage.

This vortex was the true entrance to the Land of Guixu of the Abyssal Dragon Whale clan.

"I wish Junior Brother Su a successful breakthrough. I will wait here for your return."

Ye Hong appeared at the bow of the ship and cupped his hands toward Su Ling.

"May it be as you say, Senior Brother. Su Ling is going now."

Su Ling laughed and activated his Rushing Thunder Steps to dash away.

Ten breaths later, Su Ling arrived before the entrance. Beneath that vortex, he looked as tiny as an ant.

"Ang!"

A high-pitched whale cry resounded through his Divine Soul.

An extremely majestic Dragon Whale remnant soul suddenly emerged from the vortex, its eyes staring fixedly at Su Ling below.

"Su Ling, a core Disciple of the Star Refining Dao Sect, wishes to use this place to condense a Nascent Soul. I hope for permission to pass."

Following Ye Hong's prior instructions, Su Ling held the token high.

"Ang!"

A hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of the Dragon Whale remnant soul, and it let out another high-pitched cry.

Its massive soul body suddenly swam and plunged into the vortex.

Immediately, a dark purple beam of light shone on Su Ling, slowly pulling him into the vortex.

Su Ling activated his magic power, protecting his body with only spiritual light, and shot into the vortex like an arrow.

The moment he passed through the vortex, it was replaced by a dead silence, with only dots of faint blue soul fire illuminating the surroundings.

Su Ling looked around and found that beneath his feet was an unimaginably massive whale bone.

The white bone walls were covered with a layer of ice crystals, beneath which faint blue veins were visible, as if cold Yin currents were slowly flowing within.

"It truly is an Extreme Yin Land."

Su Ling took a deep breath. What he inhaled was not seawater, but Yin Qi pure to the extreme, so cold that his Meridians stung slightly.

He moved forward along the Dragon Whale skeleton, where the bones interlaced to form natural caves.

At a glance, the boundaries were nowhere to be seen.

Su Ling continued forward until the Yin Qi nearby became so dense it almost materialized into a grey-black mist floating in mid-air.

Going any deeper, even with the power of the Nine Nether within him, he felt it was becoming somewhat unbearable.

"This will do."

Su Ling stopped and looked around, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

On a nearby Dragon Whale skull, there was actually a naturally formed ice pool. The bottom of the pool was lined with tiny whale scales, shimmering with a faint blue luster.

Above the ice pool, Yin Qi flowed like a river, gathering into a dark cloud that shrouded the area, emitting a heart-palpitating power of dead silence.

Su Ling first took out a large number of Yin-attribute spirit fruits and spiritual Materials from his Storage Ring and placed them beside him.

Then, he sat cross-legged at the edge of the ice pool, shed his outer clothing, and allowed the bone-chilling Yin Qi to invade his body.

Closing his eyes, he sank his Divine Sense into his Dantian and induced his Golden Core to rotate slowly.

A faint purple-gold light appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, colliding violently with the Yin Qi surging into his body. A tearing pain radiated from his Meridians, as if countless ice needles were passing through.

"Using the Qi Sea as a furnace, refining Yin Qi as fuel, shattering the core to open the nether mansion..."

"Using the Nine Nether as the foundation, building the Nether Mansion Dao Embryo!"

Su Ling silently recited the Mind-Cultivation Technique, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his body.

He operated the Nascent Soul Condensation method within the Nine Nether Soul Devouring True Scripture, frantically devouring the external Yin Qi and merging it bit by bit into his Qi Sea's magic power.

The Yin Qi inside the cave gathered frantically, forming a massive black vortex that enveloped Su Ling and the ice pool together.

After an unknown amount of time, when the entire Qi Sea was filled with Nine Nether Yin power.

Su Ling suddenly reversed the flow of Qi throughout his body, impacting the Purple-Gold Core like a ten-thousand-fathom tsunami.

At the same time, he triggered the most primal Nine Nether Qi at the center of the Golden Core, impacting simultaneously from the inside out.

The Golden Core shook violently, its purple-gold light shining brightly, and then cracks appeared on its surface. The nine faint blue Core Patterns seemed to come alive, swimming continuously.

Finally, after countless impacts, the Purple-Gold Core exploded within the Dantian with a "boom."

The fragments turned into streaks of light, rushing through the Shanzhong point and reaching the Ancestral Aperture at the Yintang point.

Constructing a hazy, dark, and profound "netherworld purple mansion."

The moment the "netherworld purple mansion" was formed, it generated an irresistible devouring force.

The essence of the pre-prepared spiritual items was instantly drained, and the surrounding Extreme Yin power formed a vortex that poured in.

The core spiritual mechanism transformed from the nine Core Patterns positioned itself in the center of the nether mansion, guiding a massive amount of spiritual energy to gather.

The outline of an infant gradually became clear, and its facial features and limbs began to condense.
