Innate Immortal Seed

Chapter 440: Chapter 435: The World-Shaking Nascent Soul Phenomenon

The Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword was the most unique of all Bai Zichen’s Flying Swords.

Ever since he obtained it, it had remained submerged in his Dantian Qi Sea, unusable as a normal Flying Sword.

Later, with the help of the Supreme Qingwei Sword Box, its body was repaired, and it even returned to the level of a Tier Four Flying Sword.

All along, it had served as the vessel to conceal the Qing Emperor Longevity Sword, never used on the front lines in combat.

He had no clear understanding of the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword’s true might.

Only today did the Flying Sword truly display its divine might for the first time. It wasn’t just a matter of destructive power, but a fundamental difference in its innate Tier.

Although the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword had only recovered to Tier Four, its surging lightning was fundamentally different from the Moon Xuan Sword and the Splendid Youth Sword. The Star Constellation Power could not exert a Tier-based suppression on its Sword Light.

This was the main reason the lightning could expand from a mere spark to instantly fill the world, carving out its own space within the vast sea of stars.

The seventy-two rays of starlight had seemed insurmountable, the strongest wave of Celestial Thunder, seemingly impossible to pass through.

But with every ray of starlight the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword shattered, it transmitted a feeling of joy, a result of being suppressed and unused for far too long.

Not only did it show no signs of fatigue, but its Sword Light grew increasingly active. The lightning swelled, filling every corner of this part of the world.

As the last ray of starlight was struck down, the tribulation clouds scattered. Back on Flame Mountain, a red sun hung high in the clear sky.

Within a hundred-mile radius, nature’s spiritual energy, as if under command, howled as it converged.

The resulting Spiritual Energy Vortex drained the two Tier Four Spirit Lands atop Flame Mountain completely, and at that moment, the cracks on the Golden Core in his Dantian Qi Sea numbered exactly nine.

A terrifying amount of Spiritual Qi continued to surge into the Golden Core. After emitting a blinding white light, the Golden Core shattered, forming a blurry, infant-like silhouette of light.

A qualitative change occurred within his Sea of Consciousness. His Divine Sense underwent a transcendence, its range of perception instantly doubling from sixty miles to one hundred and twenty.

At the same time, with inner thoughts quelled and outer thoughts blocked, he began the Refinement of his Primordial Spirit.

The blurry, infant-like silhouette of light continuously absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, growing clearer until it finally became a three-inch-tall infant, a perfect replica of Bai Zichen.

Its eyes were as innocent and pure as a newborn’s, and its two small, chubby hands clutched the Supreme Qingwei Sword Box.

It opened its mouth and inhaled, frantically drawing in everything from the outside. Both nature’s spiritual energy and the True Essence from within his body were absorbed into the tiny Nascent Soul.

In the sky, a sweet dew had begun to fall. Possessing a Spiritual quality, it automatically flew toward Bai Zichen.

As the drops of dew merged with his battered and broken body, his flesh began to mend at a rate visible to the naked eye, strengthening his Nascent Soul in the process.

Only a few drops of dew landed on the ground, repairing the Spirit Veins damaged and the Earth Veins shaken by the Celestial Tribulation.

This was the first Nascent Soul Phenomenon after its formation: Heaven-Sent Dew.

’From this moment on, I am a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a millennium of life... In the Cultivation Realm, I will have my own place, no longer seen as just a rising star with the potential to reach Divinity Transformation.’

Bai Zichen felt the world-altering changes. Nearly every aspect of his being was different from when he was in the Core Formation Realm.

The might of his Nascent Soul continued to rise, and an image of Flame Mountain, as it was after the Celestial Tribulation, appeared with perfect clarity in his Sea of Consciousness.

...

”The tribulation clouds have scattered. Did he successfully pass the tribulation?”

Lu Songx, of course, knew that since a Nascent Soul Phenomenon had already appeared, the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm was certainly a success.

It was just that the preceding, mysterious Celestial Thunder Tribulation had been so immense it had nearly flattened the entirety of Flame Mountain.

Any Cultivator would be left trembling before that sea of stars, unable to maintain their composure.

Especially that final wave of Celestial Thunder. He had thought the apocalypse had arrived to remake the world.

He even doubted whether anyone in the Cultivation Realm could truly survive within that sky-spanning sea of stars, let alone shatter the starlight.

Seeing the starlight extinguished at an unimaginable speed and the tribulation clouds completely disperse, he still found it hard to believe.

”Of course he succeeded. From this day forward, our Sect has produced another Nascent Soul Ancestor... With Junior Martial Uncle Bai’s successful breakthrough, the other powers will finally have to see us as a true Nascent Soul Major Sect, not just a sect that got lucky with one outstanding disciple.”

Wei Dao was overwhelmed with emotion. He had watched this youth join the Sect. If someone had told him back then that this boy would one day reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he would have thought they were telling a fairy tale.

He never imagined that in just over a hundred years, Bai Zichen would accomplish such a miracle.

”In terms of age, Junior Martial Uncle Bai should be the youngest Nascent Soul Cultivator in the history of the Northern Domain. And to think he passed such a powerful Celestial Tribulation... On his day, Junior Martial Uncle Ge triggered the Four Great Nascent Soul Phenomena. We are blessed today to witness another such grand and rare event.”

Heaven-Sent Dew was standard for all new Nascent Soul True Monarchs. No one believed Bai Zichen would only be capable of triggering one or two Nascent Soul Phenomena.

A moment later, countless swords began to hum—a sound like the whistling wind, the roar of a dragon, all mixed with the rumble of thunder.

One after another, rays of Sword Light materialized, all turning toward Flame Mountain and bowing their tips in a gesture of submission.

They then transformed into a myriad of light streams, rushing toward the object of their submission.

”Ten Thousand Swords Subdue! This is a phenomenon only an Unparalleled Sword Cultivator can trigger! It’s said that when True Monarch Tang Fei of the Beiyuan Sword Sect achieved his Nascent Soul, he was accompanied by this very phenomenon.”

Wei Dao’s face filled with envy. Such glory was reserved for Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone.

The Nascent Soul Phenomena that appeared after Tribulation Crossing would be recorded in the Sect’s Transmission Hall. As long as the Sect’s heritage survived, every disciple would be able to witness the heroic feats of their predecessors.

Moreover, Nascent Soul Phenomena were something every Sect in the Cultivation Realm took very seriously, collecting and cataloging information about them.

If one was willing to disclose the details, regardless of how many Nascent Soul Phenomena occurred, even the Super Major Sects of the Central Domain would record them meticulously.
