I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 544: Chapter 498: Nascent Soul (Part 2)

According to the classification of the Upper Realm, Nascent Soul grades are divided into the four grades of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

The Earth Spiritual Realm divides into grades one to nine, because the spiritual energy is thin, making it easier to distinguish differences between Nascent Souls, so the classification is more detailed.

Yellow Grade Nascent Soul is equivalent to a Fake Nascent Soul, unable to merge the five elements, forcibly forming a Nascent Soul by using Elixir or external forces, where the aura of the fetus is weak, the outline is blurry, possessing Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation but going no further than Nascent Soul, with no opportunity to break through to Divinity Transformation.

Mystic Grade Nascent Soul is somewhat better, with the initial fusion of the five elements, but unable to achieve complete harmony; the fetus has the contours of an infant, blurry and murky, with luck and further effort, there remains a chance to break through to Divinity Transformation.

Earth Grade Nascent Soul successfully merges the five elements into one, with a strong Primordial Spirit in the Golden Core, capable of further advancement, achieving the Great Dao.

The Upper Three Grades of the Earth Spiritual Realm’s Nascent Souls are basically equivalent to the Earth Grade Nascent Souls of the Upper Realm.

Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls are very special, even in the Upper Realm they are one in a million, primarily because the conditions to achieve a Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul are extremely stringent.

It requires special five elements spiritual power, with all of it reaching perfect balance, an extreme understanding of the Five Elements Path, able to merge or differentiate the five elements at will, without the slightest hindrance.

Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul, flawless and pristine, the fetus is crystal clear without any impurities, innately possessing Five Elements Divine Light, thereafter transcending the realm of the five elements, immune to all Five Elements Magical Techniques in the world.

Additionally, the Five Elements Divine Light of a Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul exerts suppression on other Nascent Souls; within the same level, even a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator encountering an early-stage Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul cultivator would be at a disadvantage initially.

Apart from these four grades of Nascent Souls, there are some Exotic Nascent Souls, even rarer than Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls, often belonging to those with innate special constitutions, experiencing mutations during Foundation Establishment.

For instance, Zhur Jiuyou’s Chaos Sacred Body, with a Chaos Infant as the Nascent Soul.

Jiang Yuebai had also read about some in books, such as Phoenix Marrow Body, Calamity Body, Asura Body, Profound Yin Body, Immortal Martial Body, and others.

In the Green Dragon Realm, these special constitutions number at most five, yet throughout the entire Upper Realm from Ancient Times to the present, many have emerged.

Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan, due to acquired fortunes, possibly underwent constitution mutations, resulting in Exotic Nascent Souls during Nascent Soul Formation.

These Exotic Nascent Souls cannot be directly compared with Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls to determine strength, each having its own advantages.

Jiang Yuebai has always cultivated the Five Elements Path and has already transformed herself into a Five Spirits Body, with internal balance of the five elements, harmonized into one, now aiming to form a Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul.

In a standard Nascent Soul formation, a heavenly tribulation usually consists of about eighteen bolts; for Heavenly Grade Nascent Souls recorded in the Green Dragon Realm, tribulations range from thirty-six to forty-nine bolts, with the last one being a special tribulation thunder.

Jiang Yuebai felt her trial would not have fewer than forty-nine bolts this time, given that she had previously endured forty-nine bolts in one go, the last one carrying the aura of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder from the Immortals and Demons Destruction.

Saying the Heavenly Dao isn’t targeting her, who would believe it?

However, Jiang Yuebai was quite clear in her thinking; her life was stolen back from the Heavenly Dao by Lu Xingyun, otherwise, she would long be dead, so it’s normal for the Heavenly Dao to seize any chance to kill her.

Stay calm, stay calm!

At this moment, the tribulation cloud above began to brew, its momentum already majestic and intimidating before even a bolt had fallen, carrying the might of the Heavenly Dao, making one’s heart tremble with fear.

Jiang Yuebai stabilized her mind, guiding the medicinal power to divide into two, continuing to impact both the Sea of Consciousness Divine Elixir and the Golden Core in the Elixir Field, while reinforcing the Sea of Consciousness Wall and the Elixir Field Wall, preparing to withstand the impact when the Elixir breaks and the Nascent Soul is born.

Within the Golden Core, the Chaos Qi swirled rapidly, with the light of Five Spirits Qi shining brightly, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, compressing and merging inward.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Water Thunder and Jian Palace Thunder silently glowed, resembling two giant dragons crashing into the Dragon Gate, constantly striking the Divine Elixir from both sides, the Thousand Leaves Immortal Ganoderma swaying gently, emanating a brilliant glow like schools of fish swimming, all converging into the Divine Elixir.

Crack! Crack crack!

The cracks on the Golden Core and the Divine Elixir increased in number, the power suppressed for many years madly gushing out through the cracks.

Jiang Yuebai’s Sea of Consciousness swelled with pain, like a balloon about to explode; she hurriedly split her Divine Thought into two, fully stabilizing the Sea of Consciousness, firmly suppressing this surge of power, not allowing a trace to leak out.

Meanwhile, the compressed power within the Golden Core erupted suddenly, Jiang Yuebai unable to suppress it in time, was assailed by a ripping sensation throughout her body, groaning in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She looked somewhat astonished at the cracks on the Elixir Field Wall, realizing her Dantian truly couldn’t endure the power within the Golden Core.

Having extensively read on potential issues during Nascent Soul Formation, Jiang Yuebai had anticipated twenty or thirty possibilities and devised countermeasures, so although in pain, she remained composed.

Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth, her spine crackling as she mobilized Dragon Qi to envelop the Dantian, reinforcing the Elixir Field Wall.

She considered that if her Elixir Field Wall couldn’t withstand the Golden Core’s power even under the Breaking Calamity Elixir’s support, it must be due to the mixed-in strand of Chaos Qi.

Having cultivated Dragon God Transformation precisely for such situations, reinforcing with Dragon Qi was the right approach!

Sure enough, after reinforcing with Dragon Qi, as the cracks in the Golden Core continued to increase, no further ruptures occurred in the Elixir Field Wall due to the power waves.

Rumble!

The roar of thunder suddenly echoed overhead, and Jiang Yuebai diverted a part of her Divine Thought to observe above, noticing that while her Golden Core and Divine Elixir had just begun to break, the tribulation cloud overhead had already taken shape.

The roaring tribulation clouds resembled a furious beast, rolling and bellowing, the Thunder Elemental Power surging through the air reaching a frightening concentration in the blink of an eye.

On the sea, a violent storm raged, with water waves fiercely colliding with Thunder Elemental Power, crackling like water striking oil.

Jiang Yuebai could hardly resist cursing, last time there was True Monarch Fuyi nearby undergoing Divinity Transformation, making the heavenly tribulation eager to strike her, but now, with no one else around, is it planning to strike her down before her Nascent Soul even emerges?

The three kowtows just now were in vain!

Boom!

Two patches of tribulation clouds suddenly collided, and Jiang Yuebai’s sight was instantly engulfed by a vast tide of silver lightning.

A lightning tide!

Not individual lightning bolts!

As the lightning tide struck the isolated island, a beam of light shot up from the Eight Arrays Plate over Jiang Yuebai’s head, with Four Symbols Illusions appearing out of thin air, rushing in from four directions to collide with the lightning tide.

Boom!

The lightning tide burst open, electric arcs like silver snakes wildly dancing, sweeping across all directions.

The majority of the tribulation thunder was blocked by the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array, and the rest was blocked by the inner Five Elements Formation, with only a small portion striking Jiang Yuebai.

Even so, Jiang Yuebai’s breath was disrupted by this completely unplanned tribulation thunder, the Dragon Qi outside her Dantian swayed, and the Golden Core cracked further under tribulation stimulation, releasing a torrential force like a mountain flood, fiercely striking her fragile Elixir Field Wall.

In the Sea of Consciousness, it was the same, the Divine Elixir nearly split in two, and Jiang Yuebai saw a tiny infant resembling her sitting cross-legged, hugging its knees within the Divine Elixir.

Rumble!

The tribulation cloud brewed once more, the lightning tide imminent.

”Heavenly Dao Lord, I’m really not in a hurry this time ahhhh!!”

Jiang Yuebai was about to cry, she had arranged everything, intending to form her Nascent Soul slowly, but now the Heavenly Dao was forcing her.

After blocking one round of tribulation lightning, the Eight Arrays Plate above had dimmed in brilliance, unable to withstand a second round of tribulation.

But this wasn’t the most severe issue, now her Dantian was beset with internal turmoil, barely holding on!
