Chapter 1764 - 1761: Attempting Nascent Soul Formation

Chapter 1764: Chapter 1761: Attempting Nascent Soul Formation

Upon hearing his master’s words, Yang Fei felt reassured, becoming increasingly confident in his premonition.

Master Wan Daorong flipped his palm, and a storage bag hovered in front of Yang Fei.

"Inside are a Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, a Spirit Stabilizing Pill, and a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood."

Yang Fei’s heart warmed with gratitude: "Master, these resources needed for Nascent Soul Formation can be exchanged directly at the sect. You need not go to such lengths."

Wan Daorong raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by such lengths? You are my direct disciple and publicly declared closed-door disciple. Your Nascent Soul Formation is a momentous event; how can I, as your master, neglect it? As for those things exchanged at the sect, can they compare to the treasures I’ve given you? This Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng is a rare gem from the Southern Domain, the Spirit Stabilizing Pill is a top-grade item personally refined by an Alchemy Immortal Master at my request when you entered the sect, and this piece of Soul Nourishing Wood is a branch taken from a soul-nourishing tree over ten thousand years old, truly the finest quality. With these three used simultaneously, plus your divine sense exceeding specifications, your Nascent Soul Formation should proceed smoothly and effortlessly, without any regret.

Yang Fei was moved to say: "Master’s profound affection leaves me unsure how to repay it."

Wan Daorong chuckled heartily: "Since we became master and disciple, we are destined. No need for the polite talk of repayment. Besides, without your appearance, how could I have obtained the genetic liquid medicine? Without it, I would never have dared to attempt the Unity Realm Stage in this lifetime."

Yang Fei, not one for pretentiousness, refrained from saying more.

Wan Daorong pointed to his secluded chamber: "Normally, the success rate for Nascent Soul Formation is about thirty percent. Even if all conditions are met, the success rate can only be assured at around sixty percent."

Yang Fei’s heart sank.

He had long heard that the success rate for Nascent Soul Formation was very low.

He considered himself exceptionally talented and well-prepared, now endowed with the crucial top-grade resources for Nascent Soul Formation given by Wan Daorong, feeling certain of success.

But Wan Daorong’s words suggested only a sixty percent chance of success.

"Why is there still a forty percent chance of failure?" Yang Fei asked, puzzled.

Wan Daorong laughed: "A sixty percent chance doesn’t satisfy you? I say sixty percent merely to keep you from becoming arrogant. Given your current conditions, the success rate should be higher. The remaining chance of failure is due to the lengthy time Nascent Soul Formation requires. The greatest concern during this process is the intrusion of Heart Demons. Your cultivation time is too short, lacking insight into worldly affairs, so your Heart Demon might weigh heavier than other cultivators attempting Nascent Soul Formation."

Yang Fei became vigilant, contemplating: "Heart Demon, huh?"

Wan Daorong nodded: "Heart Demon, or rather, Heart Tribulation."

After a pause, he observed Yang Fei carefully, saying: "However, you needn’t worry too much. I see your mood is clear, and you’ve set aside many concerns. Your will is firm, and you possess an indomitable pride that others lack. I believe you can overcome this Heart Demon."

Yang Fei replied: "If it’s just a matter of steadfast will, I’m confident."

Wan Daorong said: "Mm, attempt your Nascent Soul Formation here with me as your protector. You will not suffer external interference or be disturbed by anyone. You do remember the Nascent Soul Formation process well, don’t you?"

Yang Fei promptly replied: "First, shatter the Golden Core, then use divine sense to guide the pill qi, endeavor to compress and restructure it into a humanoid energy body—Nascent Soul Body—and infuse it with divine sense to grant it separate consciousness."

Wan Daorong praised: "Indeed, Nascent Soul Formation boils down to the cultivator’s courage to break first and then reform. After shattering the core and condensing the Nascent Soul Body, the process is straightforward. When the Nascent Soul Body forms, it triggers the Heart Demon Tribulation. After overcoming it, one must endure the Small Heavenly Tribulation. Successfully surpassing the Small Heavenly Tribulation stabilizes the Nascent Soul Realm, making one a true Nascent Soul cultivator."

Yang Fei nodded: "I understand."

Wan Daorong waved, saying: "Then proceed with your Nascent Soul Formation, with me personally protecting you."

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Fei, not pretentious, felt assured.

His purpose in finding Wan Daorong was precisely for protection during the process.

He was supremely confident in completing his Nascent Soul Formation.

However, it was a lengthy ordeal, where any disturbance could impact his mentality. A single mishap could nullify all prior efforts; hence, he needed a quiet and safe location.

White Jade City appeared safe, but hidden dangers abounded. Yang Fei wouldn’t gamble that White Jade City wouldn’t be disturbed during his Nascent Soul Formation.

Gathering the trio of essential resources for Nascent Soul Formation from Wan Daorong, Yang Fei entered the master’s usual cultivation chamber without hesitation.

Once the chamber door closed, the world fell silent.

Yang Fei felt as though he were in another separate world, his heart infinitely serene.

He walked to the mat, sitting cross-legged.

A halo of light radiated from the walls surrounding the room.

Yang Fei saw that the chamber had activated an Isolation Array, feeling assured, knowing his master had set multiple restrictions to enhance security.

After ingesting the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, placing the Spirit Stabilizing Pill and Soul Nourishing Wood nearby, Yang Fei began internal observation, focusing on the golden, vibrant Golden Core within his Dantian.

"After decades of cultivation, you are nurtured to this golden brilliance, so perfect, and now I must shatter you."

Yang Fei mused, his divine sense locked onto the Golden Core, a resolute expression crossing his heart.

A vast force of divine sense struck the Golden Core, simultaneously his spiritual power self-detonated within.

Under the dual forces, the previously solid Golden Core cracked dramatically, quivering intensely in the Dantian.

Moments later, the whole Golden Core shattered in his Dantian, releasing its vast, contained spiritual power wildly.

Yang Fei was prepared, gathering all divine sense to envelop the pill qi, preventing it from escaping, starting the long process of Nascent Soul Formation...

Earth, White Jade City.

Since returning to Earth, Helian Rong sought ways to interact with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu. Her efforts gradually dispelled the slight alienation and discomfort they initially felt towards her.

Time flew by; ten years had passed since Yang Fei went to the Southern Domain.

The three women gathered one day.

"I wonder how Second Aunt is now," Helian Rong pondered the time, thinking of Second Aunt sent to live in the Southern Domain.

Qin Yanyang replied: "She should still be alive."

Tong Yunshu also nodded.

Helian Rong said: "Only seeing in person will confirm. Yang Fei should come back and take us to see."

Qin Yanyang slightly furrowed her brows, saying: "He might be in seclusion, attempting his Nascent Soul Formation."

Tong Yunshu silently clenched her fists: "Yes, it’s been so long without news of him, he must be initiating the Nascent Soul Realm. Just unsure of how it’s going."

Qin Yanyang’s gaze was resolute: "He will succeed. Otherwise, Master Wan wouldn’t easily let him attempt it."

Helian Rong and Tong Yunshu silently nodded.

They knew Yang Fei’s importance to the Southern Domain Cultivation World, so his safety was likely assured.

However, the probability of success in Nascent Soul Formation is very low, and saying they’re not worried is a lie.

Moreover, Yang Fei had indeed been absent for far too long this time.
