Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 546 Nascent Soul Transformation

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty... only a few decades have passed, and there are already martial artists who have mastered the Four Divine Powers and comprehended the method of seeking gold?"

The vast emptiness is shrouded in mist.

Fang Qing stood on the Cloud-class spirit ship, on his way back to the Universal Sect, still pondering the feedback from the Dao-Born Pearl.

He left behind a golden incarnation in the Great Zhou world, which, through the Dao-Born Pearl, could keep a constant watch and prevent the situation from developing beyond his expectations.

The "Spiritual Tide Revival" brought to that side has reached a crucial stage, with a Celestial Warrior who has acquired the Four Divine Powers preparing to seek gold!

"This is actually a great supplement to the lack of [Ji Water]..."

If before, it was merely a matter of repairing the damage caused by the absence of the [Ji Water] and adding some imagery, then devouring the Seed of Seeking Gold will bring even more changes to the absence of the [Ji Water]... even... a apparent lack of a true master!

If things continue to develop like this, once he reaches the point of accepting the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and releases the [Ji Water] Golden Position, he might immediately betray his own ancestor, the Mysterious and Subtle Primordial Lord, and demote him to a subordinate position...

"This is a change that only a completely new world can bring about... and it must be a world without magic, influenced, transformed, and then fed back by the spiritual energy revival brought about by my golden position..."

"Furthermore, even if a True Monarch of the Dao of Qi Cultivation were to travel to the outer heavens, he could not take the Golden Position with him... Therefore, this is a bug that only I, who wields the Dao-Generating Pearl, can exploit... an unreplicable miracle!"

Fang Qing thought of the Water Virtue [Yearly Duty] path that his family had planned.

Now, Zeng Qingshui and Xuanshui Zhenren, with Sangji's secret assistance, are trying to collect information on the status of the Water Virtue True Lords.

"If one day, the [Ji Water] becomes strong, it can seize the rightful place of the [Zhen Water], and naturally, the [Shen Water] will no longer need to take its place... However, the [Bi Water] has a layout of the Great Sun [Ruling the Year] above all five metal positions, which is a bit troublesome... But the method of emptiness can replace one metal position, which can just replace the [Bi Water]. I wonder if this can prove the Water Virtue [Ruling the Year]?"

Just as Fang Qing was pondering, a crack appeared in the void ahead.

As the flying boat traversed to the mortal realm, it saw silver light shimmering in the void, revealing the gate of the Universal Sect, as well as the scenery of the four immortal cities of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise nearby.

"You're back..."

He felt so-so about it, but the cultivators on the same ship who had served in the Three Saints Pass for a long time were excited, as if they had finally escaped from danger.

……

The Outer Sect of the Universal Sect.

"Has Bei Gongwei not emerged from seclusion yet?"

Master Yinyuan stood outside a secluded meditation room at the outer gate, his expression somewhat strange.

He never imagined that Fang Qing, whom he had personally witnessed breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm and who had introduced him to the sect, would inexplicably break through to the Profound Realm Realm and become his senior.

"Unless... that Void Refining Celestial Phenomenon is fake."

Master Yinyuan dared not think too much about it. He came to win over Beigong Wei as instructed by the sect leader, only to be told that she had gone into seclusion to transform into a Nascent Soul.

From the Spiritual Essence to the Infant!

This step is a true leap over the dragon gate, entering the Dao through martial arts, and from then on, one's lifespan will be thousands of years!

Therefore, the outer sect's secluded cultivation cave is of a very high standard, and even Master Yinyuan would not dare to break in rashly.

It wasn't that I lacked the necessary authority, but rather that I was afraid of disturbing the other party's seclusion, which could lead to a qi deviation or serious injury, making it difficult to explain to Fang Qing.

"Fortunately... judging from the flow of spiritual energy, the breakthrough is going smoothly, and I should be able to emerge from seclusion soon."

Master Yinyuan released his divine sense and nodded inwardly.

suddenly!

The spiritual energy gathered and formed a vortex, with colorful light flashing around it.

The outer disciples nearby were also very familiar with this scene; it was the celestial phenomenon of a successful Nascent Soul transformation!

"The phenomenon of 'Nascent Soul' has spread over a hundred miles... Not bad, not bad."

Master Yinyuan had just stroked his beard when his expression suddenly changed.

The celestial phenomenon continued to expand, one hundred and ten li, one hundred and twenty li... two hundred li!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged violently, expanding to a full three hundred miles!

"What... what kind of foundation is this? Could it be the legendary spiritual bone? Or an immortal body?"

Master Yinyuan stared in disbelief, then thought of Fang Qing: "Indeed, those who can attract that person's attention are no ordinary people... However, this heavenly tribulation will surely be severe. I wonder if we are fully prepared?"

Splash!

Before he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered and thunder roared, the power of which was already slightly beyond the limits that the early Nascent Soul stage cultivators could withstand.

"Never mind... In a critical moment, I can still save her life with our sect's secret technique, but her foundation will inevitably be destroyed..."

Master Yinyuan sighed, ready to make a move at any moment.

Just then, a distant and chilling dragon roar was heard!

The dragon's roar seemed to come from ancient times; although the sound was not loud, it carried the majesty of life and death.

Inside the Huanyu Sect's mountain gate, many of the disciples' pets and natal spirit beasts let out a mournful cry and trembled as they lay prostrate on the ground.

"this……"

Master Yinyuan's expression changed, and he shouted, "Back off!"

Whoosh!

Centered on the cave where Bei Gongwei was in seclusion, the temperature within a thousand miles suddenly dropped, snow fell heavily, and the ground froze.

A phantom image of a snow-white dragon emerged from the swirling snow.

Its scales seem to be cast from crystal; it has a snake's body, a fish's tail, four claws on its belly, and a horse's head without horns...

An astonishing chill emanated from the phantom of the divine beast, then surged towards the thunderclouds filling the sky.

call!

A fierce wind howled, like a dragon sucking water, and the lightning and dark clouds fell into the dragon's mouth, disappearing completely...

"What...what kind of divine beast is this?"

"His bloodline is truly extraordinary?"

Master Yinyuan said, looking utterly dejected.

"It's not a divine beast, but a celestial beast—a Chilong!"

A flash of light appeared in the void, and the figure of Sect Master Xuanmiao materialized. Gazing at the hornless white dragon, his eyes gleamed with an unusual light: "I once read in an ancient book that among alien races, there are occasionally geniuses who awaken the bloodline of immortal beasts, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities... Once they achieve the Great Ascension stage and fully unleash their bloodline, they are no less powerful than those Great Ascension divine beasts... I never imagined that our human race would also have such a prodigy! This is a blessing for the human race, a blessing for our sect!"

"Mahayana? That little girl actually has the potential to become a Mahayana practitioner?"

Master Yinyuan opened his mouth wide.

After a while.

The snow-white, frigid dragon swallowed up the thunderclouds and flew into the cave, wagging its tail.

Not long after, the cave gate opened, and Bei Gongwei, who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, flew out. Upon seeing the sky full of high-level cultivators, she was startled: "Outer disciple Bei Gongwei greets Senior Yin Yuan..."

"This... is Xuanmiao, the Sect Master of my Universal Sect!"

Yin Yuan Shangren then remembered that Bei Gongwei had never met the sect leader, and quickly added.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Bei Gongwei quickly bowed.

"Good. As a disciple of our sect, you have broken through your cultivation level today and are fortunate enough to meet our sect master... I hereby bestow upon you a magic treasure."

With a wave of his hand, Sect Master Xuanmiao sent a chilling bead flying into Beigong Wei's hand: "This 'Three Yin Bead' contains three kinds of cold energy from heaven and earth, perfectly suited to your bloodline... It will be sufficient even for your future Void Refinement stage. Hmm, I will further promote you to a true disciple of this sect... You may enter the inner sect and choose a peak to cultivate on..."

"Thank you, Sect Master..."

Bei Gongwei thanked him as usual, then was stunned by the treatment she received.

Is the sect's reward for an ordinary disciple advancing to the Nascent Soul stage really that generous?

She wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that she was different.

After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, not only did her spiritual sense and magical power far surpass her peers, but even her facial features underwent subtle adjustments. She was not only stunningly beautiful, but also possessed a cool and aloof temperament, as if a god had descended to earth, unlike any ordinary person.

"Oh? Junior Brother Fang is here..."

Sect Master Xuanmiao was about to say something more when a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said to Beigong Wei, "Come with me to see your benefactor. Junior Brother Fang has now advanced to the Cave Profound Realm and is listed as an elder of our sect..."

"A master of profound mystery?"

Bei Gongwei was stunned again.

She was no longer the young cultivator she once was, and now she naturally knew how terrifying the Cave Profound stage was.

And that senior, her benefactor, had actually broken through to the Cave Profound Realm?

……

Fang Qing presented his own Star Token and entered the Universal Sect's grand formation without any hindrance.

As soon as they met, Sect Master Xuanmiao came forward with a smile: "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on your advancement to the Cave Profound Realm and your appointment as an elder of our sect!"

Splash!

The Universal Sect's Great Thousand Illusionary World Array instantly transformed, displaying auspicious scenes such as dragons and phoenixes dancing, flowers falling from the sky, and five kinds of grains growing on the ground.

Numerous disciples of the Universal Sect lined both sides, all bowing and saying, "Congratulations to Elder Fang on advancing to the Cave Profound Realm! Your future path to the Great Dao is promising, and you may even transcend tribulations and become an immortal!"

The momentum was astonishing, and it was filled with fervent enthusiasm.

After all, the more combat power the higher-ups of the Universal Sect have, the more resources they can occupy. Even if some of those resources are leaked out, it will be enough for these ants to eat their fill.

Fang Qing smiled faintly and waved, returning to the main hall with Sect Master Xuanmiao.

"Junior brother, what are your needs? Whether it's pills for cultivating the Cave Profound Realm, a cave dwelling... or any other requests, the sect can consider them as appropriate."

Sect Master Xuanmiao got straight to the point.

After all, Fang Qing was not a disciple who had been trained and raised since childhood, so his loyalty was questionable. It was equivalent to recruiting a Dongxuan guest elder from outside, so the treatment should naturally be maximized.

"Give me a cave dwelling with higher spiritual energy. Besides that, grant me access to the library; I love reading..."

Fang Qing smiled and said, "Apart from that, I have no other requests..."

Sect Master Xuanmiao was stunned. This request was far too low.

"besides……"

Fang Qing continued, "Before I left the Three Saints Pass, the Lord of Jinluan Mountain came to apologize... I took the opportunity to settle my score with him. He also gave me some news: there has been a change in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, and I'm afraid that many high-level cultivators have been trapped there. The sect should make preparations as soon as possible..."

"What?"

Sect Master Xuanmiao glared at him and immediately put Fang Qing aside.

After all, no matter what Fang Qing is like, he is just a Dongxuan cultivator.

However, if something happens to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, it will endanger the entire human race, and even the Mountain and Sea Continent will be thrown into turmoil...

After dropping such a bombshell, Sect Master Xuanmiao was clearly unsettled. After exchanging a few polite words, he saw Fang Qing out of the main hall and went to summon his confidants for a meeting.

Fang Qing returned to Spring Peak and saw Bei Gongwei waiting outside the cave. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Our grudges are settled, why have you come again?"

"Bei Gongwei once promised the elder that she would do something for him..."

Bei Gongwei bowed deeply to the ground: "I dare not disobey..."

She was a clever woman who vaguely sensed that the awakening of her family's bloodline did not bring only benefits, and she was eager to find a powerful backer.

"Alright... I'll need someone to clean and tidy up my new cave dwelling. You'll do."

Fang Qing said casually.
