171: Peak late-stage Nascent Soul! Real trouble has arrived!

After Su Yang’s thorough discipline, Gu Yue and Luo Luo were noticeably much more well-behaved.

Although the two still occasionally bickered, neither Gu Yue nor Luo Luo dared to argue too fiercely.

Su Yang had already shown them through his actions that the more fiercely they argued, the more fiercely Su Yang would 'fry' them.

They had a grudge against each other and didn't want to be 'Double-fried' again.

So even if there were minor squabbles, they didn't dare to go too far, basically shutting up after a few sentences.

After the two of them settled down, their subsequent Cultivation went much smoother.

Although Crimson Phoenix would occasionally come out and bicker with Cold Moon, because Su Yang was Cultivating most of the time, Crimson Phoenix didn't have as much time to argue with Cold Moon and spent most of her time Cultivating in Su Yang's Dantian.

Two months later.

Su Yang strictly followed the Cultivation plan he had set previously.

Every day, he would switch partners, starting with Gu Yue, then Luo Luo, Cold Moon, An Ran, Wen Yunyao, Lin Bingqing, and finally Bai Lingxi, then starting again from Gu Yue, cycling through, Cultivating day and night without stopping.

In two months, Su Yang's cultivation once again broke through, smoothly advancing from Nascent Soul Mid-Stage to Nascent Soul Late-Stage.

With the endless Spiritual Qi supply from the Ascension Platform, coupled with Luo Luo and Cold Moon, his female companions who could overclock his Innate Kidney Body to its limit, Su Yang's cultivation improved at a visible rate every day. Breaking through a minor Realm of the Nascent Soul Stage in two months, Su Yang was pleasantly surprised but also felt it was reasonable.

During these two months, An Ran, Wen Yunyao, and Lin Bingqing's cultivations also broke through again, advancing from Middle Golden Core Stage to Late Golden Core Stage.

Although their cultivation speed was much slower compared to Su Yang, their cultivation level was a full major Realm behind Su Yang. In the excellent Cultivation environment of the Ascension Platform, they were still able to rapidly improve in just two months.

In the past,

the Bottleneck of every minor Realm was a major problem that could cause headaches for more than ten or even decades.

But here,

the most direct benefit of Dual Cultivation with Su Yang was that these minor Realm Breakthroughs were practically effortless.

Whether it was An Ran, Wen Yunyao, or Lin Bingqing, all three of them broke through their Bottlenecks as easily as Su Yang first broke through their virginity, without any hindrance.

In two months, Gu Yue's Mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivation also saw significant improvement, but it would still be some time before she could Break through.

Bai Lingxi had already entered the Void Refining Stage, and wanting to Break through again in just two months was clearly a bit too soon.

For experts like Luo Luo and Cold Moon, who had clearly surpassed the strength Realm of the Myriad Spirits Realm, these two months of Cultivation, while helpful for their cultivation, had a very limited impact due to the massive base.

However,

Cold Moon's injuries had recovered from the original 30% to nearly 50% in these two months.

Each Cultivation session brought very limited cultivation improvement, but the healing effect on her injuries was evident.

As Cultivation continued, Cold Moon was gradually recovering her Peak strength.

The most obvious change, however, should be Crimson Phoenix.

As Su Yang officially entered the Nascent Soul Late-Stage, the Little Loli Crimson Phoenix had grown into an eight or nine-year-old girl. Although she still looked small, she was already a very cute little girl.

After the Breakthrough, Su Yang rested for two days, which also served as a break for his Spiritual Root.

While soaking in a hot spring was comfortable, soaking in it for two consecutive months was not a solution.

He had turned pale from it.

But fortunately, with the strong support of his Innate Kidney Body, this minor issue was not a big deal.

During his rest, Su Yang and Luo Luo returned to Wangxian Hall.

Sword Master was still tempering himself in the underground lava, showing no signs of finishing.

No choice.

After returning, Su Yang could only continue to Cultivate.

With such excellent Cultivation conditions at the Ascension Platform, he should seize the time to Cultivate diligently.

Especially since he had now entered the Nascent Soul Late-Stage, and was just a little short of entering the Late Stage Peak.

Crimson Phoenix was his Nascent Soul, he wondered if there was a chance for her to Break through the Nascent Soul Stage and enter the Soul Transformation Stage?

Neither Crimson Phoenix nor Cold Moon knew the answer.

This made Su Yang even more eager to explore the answer!

So Su Yang immediately resumed Cultivation upon his return.

This Cultivation lasted for four months!

During these four months, Gu Yue finally successfully entered the Late-stage Soul Transformation.

And Su Yang officially encountered the Bottleneck of his Nascent Soul major Realm!

Under normal circumstances, what Su Yang needed to do next was simple: leverage the unique advantages of the Ascension Platform to Break through the Nascent Soul Stage and enter the Soul Transformation Stage as quickly as possible.

However,

Su Yang's situation was extremely special.

Although Crimson Phoenix could also grow and accumulate power as Su Yang's Nascent Soul, Crimson Phoenix possessed her own Divine Soul, and as she continuously grew, her Divine Soul was also becoming increasingly powerful.

For ordinary cultivators, during the stage where the Nascent Soul breaks through to Soul Transformation, they first need to elevate the Nascent Soul to a level identical to their own, and then merge the Nascent Soul with themselves, achieving perfect Fusion, thus entering the Soul Transformation Stage.

But Crimson Phoenix already possessed her own Divine Soul; it was impossible for her to perfectly merge with him and completely become his power.

This directly led to one result.

Su Yang saw his Nascent Soul Stage Bottleneck, but because he couldn't merge with Crimson Phoenix, it meant he couldn't Break through the Nascent Soul Stage and enter the Soul Transformation Stage.

Su Yang's helplessness upon seeing the Bottleneck was imaginable.

Su Yang ended his Cultivation.

He opened his eyes.

He called Crimson Phoenix out from his Dantian.

As soon as Crimson Phoenix emerged, she saw Cold Moon sitting cross-legged on Su Yang's lap, pouting and huffing.

However, after seeing this more than once or twice in the past six months, beyond huffing, there was no bickering.

She also knew why Su Yang called her out and proactively said, "Su Yang, I can only be considered half of your Nascent Soul; I cannot fully merge with you. Therefore... it's impossible for you to Break through the Nascent Soul Stage at this stage."

"But don't be too disappointed. As long as I Cultivate with you, we can conceive a Nascent Soul that completely belongs to you."

"And, because you are already at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Late-Stage, the Nascent Soul we conceive won't need to go through the previous Breakthroughs again and again. It can directly be nurtured in your Dantian to be the same size as you. At that time, you can directly merge the Nascent Soul with yourself and begin to Break through the Soul Transformation Stage!"

Crimson Phoenix was afraid he would be sad, so she deliberately spoke with much hope.

But Su Yang was a rational person. While there was indeed a little disappointment, after the disappointment, he quickly focused on the most critical issue at hand.

"I've already reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Late-Stage, and coupled with the temporary inability to Break through, does this also mean that my strength cannot temporarily increase anymore?"

Su Yang asked.

The answer to this question would determine his future Cultivation direction...
