Chapter 511 Breaking Through to Nascent Soul
Without another word, Eldrin and Lyra made their way back to the Chen Kingdom together.
After they arrived at the Azure Lotus Province, Lyra spoke up, "Breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm is no trivial matter. To avoid interference from demons and monsters, you should first enter seclusion for your breakthrough. I’ll stand guard for you."
"Then I shall trouble you, Madam."
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was merely a matter of sequence for them. Eldrin did not decline.
He took along the Qi of Heaven and Earth, then entered seclusion to begin his breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm.
This time, he intended to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm without relying on any external aids. His foundation was exceptionally solid, granting him over a 90-9 percent certainty of success even without external assistance.
As for the Inner Demon Tribulation, though troublesome, he was confident in his resolute Dao Heart and did not regard it with concern.
Deep within the spiritual vein, Eldrin sat cross-legged in a lake of liquid spiritual energy, commencing the process of condensing his golden core into a nascent soul.
Within him, a golden core shimmering with 5-colored radiance floated and sank in his dantian, brewing a profound and astonishing power.
Forming the Nascent Soul from the Golden Core!
Eldrin murmured to himself, a slight frown creasing his brow.
In his past life, he had heard that cultivators needed to shatter their golden core to form an infant soul when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Yet as his cultivation deepened, he gradually realized this path was erroneous.
The Golden Core is the very coalescence of a cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit—a fusion forged from 1's vital blood, magical power, and soul.
It can be said that a cultivator's Golden Core is actually extremely fragile, as it is essentially a nascent primordial embryo in gestation.
The cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator essentially involves using the Golden Core as the foundation, continuously nurturing it with soul essence, magic power, and vital blood. This process is supplemented by primordial substances as resources, allowing it to gradually mature.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, the Golden Core would spontaneously transform, giving birth to an Infant Embryo and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
This method of cultivation is akin to the process of a fetus taking form, ultimately nurturing within the body a primordial spirit innately close to the Dao.
The Origin, it is the 3 primes of essence, energy, and spirit.
Gods are eternal and indestructible divine spirits.
The so-called Primordial Spirit refers to a divine entity ultimately conceived through the trinity of essence, energy, and consciousness.
It was the convergence of a cultivator's Heaven, Earth, and Human souls, their magical power, and their vital essence blood. Compared to the physical body, the primordial spirit was an existence no lesser than that of innate beings.
He was innately akin to a Dao Body, containing within an undying divine luminescence, perpetually existing in a state akin to enlightenment, capable of comprehending the mysteries of the laws between heaven and earth.
Without the power of the primordial spirit, mortals could scarcely comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, much less grasp the celestial principles governing the natural order.
It is precisely due to the profound mystery of the primordial soul that cultivators can harness the power of the world's laws, ultimately transforming into immortal bodies no weaker than innate deities, ascending to transcendence and departing this realm.
A cultivator's Nascent Soul is the crucial stage where the Golden Core transforms into the Primordial Spirit.
Nascent Soul, also known as the Primordial Embryo, marks the stage where the accumulation within the Golden Core reaches its peak, beginning to take on a human form.
Such a crucial step naturally could not involve shattering the golden core to form an infant, but rather was a process of natural evolution.
In contrast, cultivators with more profound cultivation bases and purer spiritual power would give rise to Nascent Souls of superior quality.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator's Nascent Soul awakens a Dao Pattern capable of nurturing divine abilities, allowing the integration of 1 innate supernatural power.
Once an innate supernatural ability is integrated into the Nascent Soul, its power and grade will experience a significant enhancement, and it will continue to refine itself alongside the cultivator's practice.
Should 1 succeed in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Nascent Soul could then complete the power of Dao Patterns, elevating 1’s innate divine ability to the level of a Pure Yang Divine Ability.
Moreover, during the Nascent Soul Formation process, if 1 were to fuse with the 2 fundamental forces of heaven and earth, the resulting Nascent Soul would become profoundly more mysterious and extraordinary.
The 2 fundamental forces were the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) and the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root)—the purest energies between heaven and earth. Once integrated into a cultivator’s Nascent Soul, they could profoundly enhance its latent potential and intrinsic quality.
Most crucially, the Heaven Earth Qi contained the power of creation itself, capable of nurturing 2 Dao Seals.
This pattern is known as the Heaven and Earth Runes, capable of imprinting 2 additional Innate Divine Abilities. It greatly enhances the Nascent Soul's power and spiritual perception, which is precisely the origin of the Heaven Dao Nascent Soul and Earth Dao Nascent Soul.
To return to our story, Eldrin was currently in secluded cultivation, striving to breach the Realm of Nascent Soul.
He possessed the innate Great Luo Golden Elixir within him, making his magic power exceptionally profound. The process of condensing the elixir into an infant soul proceeded without any major surprises.
He continuously drew in spiritual energy, channeling his magic power to surge toward his dantian, relentlessly accelerating the process of condensing his golden core into a nascent soul.
No 1 knew how much time had passed when 1 day, Eldrin suddenly felt the golden core within his body begin to dissolve into light, gradually forming a head and limbs.
Nascent Soul Embryo.
Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he swiftly drew the Earth Mother Qi into his body.
As the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) was absorbed by the nascent infant soul, an immensely profound earth energy surged through it, triggering a remarkable transformation in the quality of his nascent soul.
After 9 full days had passed, a profoundly mysterious earth pattern emerged upon the Nascent Soul.
At this stage, the true Nascent Soul had been fully forged, yet Eldrin remained utterly composed. With a sharp intake of breath, he drew the Heavenly Dao Qi deep into his core.
In an instant, the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) was devoured by the nascent infant soul, its power intertwining with that of the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) to form a perfect balance of yin and yang.
Under this power, a third divine ability rune was born once more, causing the Nascent Soul’s potential to surge yet again by a significant margin.
"Lone yin cannot birth, lone yang cannot grow."
"The power of heaven and earth converges into 1, only then can the Nascent Soul achieve balance."
"So that's how it is."
Eldrin sensed the Heaven's Dao Nascent Soul within him and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
All say that a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul signifies the potential to become a Dao Lord, with the possibility of ascending to immortality in the future. Only today did he truly comprehend the meaning behind these words.
In comparison, while an Earthly Nascent Soul also holds the potential to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm, unless 1 possesses transcendent talent or encounters a heaven-defying opportunity to rebuild their foundation, the hope of attaining immortality remains exceedingly slim.
At this thought, Eldrin shifted his focus inward to the Nascent Soul within him. Having forged a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, his potential was truly boundless.
Yet for him, this was not the end. A faint tremor passed between his brows as 3 wisps of ethereal violet qi descended from the primordial purple energy accumulated over years within his sea of consciousness.
3 strands of purple qi descended into his Nascent Soul, causing it to radiate astonishing divine light and form a primordial purple qi dao pattern.
Boom—
In an instant, a thunderous roar erupted within Eldrin's mind.
“Eldrin (Person Name)，Eldrin (Person Name)！”
A sudden call echoed in his ears, and Eldrin abruptly opened his eyes.
He lifted his head and spotted a figure—1 that felt both distant in time yet strangely familiar, with eyes sparkling like stars and teeth gleaming like pearls.
Xia Huaixu!
He suddenly blurted out, calling this person's name.
Xia Huaixu, such a distant name—she was his girlfriend in a past life.
Yet he had sunk into the cycle of reincarnation, passing through centuries of rebirth in this life. By all accounts, they should have been separated by multiple cycles of samsara—how could they meet again?
