Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The path to Nascent Soul is none other than the Unification of Three Treasures and Five Qi Towards the Yuan.

These so-called Three Treasures are Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

They correspond to Physical Body Essence Blood, Qi Power Spirit Qi, and Divine Soul Spirit.

The essence of these Three Treasures is fused into one, forming a spiritual fetus with the Golden Core. Once the fetus moves, it can shatter the core to form the Nascent Soul and tread on the Nascent Soul Dao!

Long before participating in the Cycle Great Competition, Zhou Fuqiu had already learned everything about breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage from his master, Qing Lan Fairy.

Especially with guidance from his master and ancestors, Zhou Fuqiu started consciously coordinating the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit early on.

When he reached the Ninth Layer of Golden Core, the spiritual fetus within him had already taken shape.

Now, in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, as the days of purification pass by, his realm solidly and steadily climbs upwards.

During leisure moments, he performs an inner view of himself.

Within the Sea of Qi, Qi Power surges like a vast ocean, with two Spirit Beads — one large, one small.

The small one is his Natal Magic Item, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, known for calming oceans and suppressing heavens. Remarkably, when it formed, it had undergone Thunder Tribulation and reached True Artifact Rank.

At this moment, the skillful Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is affectionately spinning around the larger Spirit Bead.

Because the larger Spirit Bead is Zhou Fuqiu’s Golden Core!

This Golden Core differs from an ordinary one, pitch-black throughout, free of any impurities, seemingly able to absorb all light.

Moreover, its deep blackness seems capable of creating everything from nothing, birthing myriad things.

When this Golden Core could no longer absorb any Qi Power, a mysterious induction emerged from Zhou Fuqiu’s consciousness.

Dong!

The fetus moved!

With the spiritual fetus trembling, shattering the core to form the Nascent Soul, this is the sign of a Nascent Soul opportunity.

For a normal person, they would suppress the impulse to break through and instead stabilize their realm according to predecessors’ experiences. Then, step by step, they would become familiar with this feeling with the aid of huge Nascent Soul Resources, aiming for a swift breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

At the very least, they would prepare the means to transcend the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

But Zhou Fuqiu abandoned all predecessors’ experiences.

He had a feeling that the Dao is naturally formed, no need to restrain oneself.

Everything, just follow your heart!

With a flicker of his mind, all Qi-Blood surged towards the Golden Core inside, making his previously thin body even more gaunt.

The boundless Qi Power centered around Zhou Fuqiu’s body, expanding outward in circles.

From an initial ripple state, to later tumultuous waves, the momentum grew larger and larger.

In this continuous oscillation, the entire world seemed to match his frequency and rhythm.

Hong!

In the Three-tiered Waterfall, the Fourth Order Spirit Vein suddenly erupted with a vast amount of Spirit Qi, sweeping across an area of a hundred miles.

The flying waterfall rolled back a thousand feet, transforming into a silver-white giant dragon.

On the giant dragon’s head, the gaunt young man’s figure was already sitting cross-legged, riding the wave into the sky, straight to the Nine Heavens.

Pipa!

In the void, at some unknown time, dark clouds had already filled the sky, a series of thin silver-white electric snakes darted, incredibly sinister.

Such a peculiar scene, any Immortal Cultivator would realize that this was the Heavenly Tribulation for Golden Core Cultivators breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage.

Yet everyone would be incredibly astonished at Zhou Fuqiu easily attracting Thunder Tribulation by forming a spiritual fetus.

From start to finish, he relied on no external aids.

Neither the Nascent Soul Formation Pills his master prepared for him nor the Nascent Soul Resource reward he earned as first in the Cycle Great Competition did Zhou Fuqiu use.

It was simply his feeling that he could, and so he did.

In an instant, the Thunder Tribulation was fully brewing.

Different from ordinary cultivators transcending tribulation, this Thunder Tribulation had no probing gesture.

As Zhou Fuqiu appeared, a thunder beam as thick as a bucket crashed down!

Zhou Fuqiu’s demeanor remained calm, a casual hand lifted in support.

The thousand-foot waterfall beneath him transformed into a water dragon, roaring and charging towards the thunder beam.

Hong!

Deafening sounds echoed, Zhou Fuqiu remained unmoved, merely raising an eyebrow.

”Is that all the Thunder Tribulation’s power?”

From Daoist Sect texts, it is known that a cultivator transcends three Heavenly Tribulations in a lifetime, each with three rounds, totaling nine rounds, hence also known as Three Nines Heavenly Tribulation.

But in Zhou Fuqiu’s eyes, this first Heavenly Tribulation posed no threat at all.

”Perhaps the later ones will be stronger, especially if there’s a Transformed Thunder Beast as the ancestors described, that would be wonderful.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Fuqiu not only felt no fear but instead showed a look of anticipation.

He was not kept waiting long; the second round of Heavenly Tribulation arrived as expected.

This time, five thunder beams struck down.

Five Thunder Blast, heavens and earth annihilated.

Zhou Fuqiu remained serene, simply forming a circle with his hands, a clear water mirror emerged.

The water mirror lay flat, hands slowly lifted up.

Five thunder beams crashed onto the deep blue water mirror in rapid succession, splashing waves upon waves.

Ka, ka...

The sound of shattering rang out one after another.

When the deep blue water mirror broke, the five thunder beams also lost strength, and Zhou Fuqiu merely waved his sleeve to disperse faint electric arcs.

Such facile transcendence of two rounds of Thunder Tribulation, it seemed even the heavens became enraged.

From the mass of dark clouds came oppressive agitated rumbling sounds.

This time, Zhou Fuqiu’s expression finally grew solemn.

With solemnity, there was also a hint of expectation.

When within the thick clouds emerged four beast feet as if heavenly pillars, Zhou Fuqiu’s held breath finally let out.

The Transformed Thunder Beast arrived!

Rumor has it that only those with extraordinarily good talent and exceptionally profound foundation would attract the terrifying Transformed Thunder Beast during a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

This entity’s destructive power is fearfully immense, far surpassing the level an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could handle.
