Monarch Of Time

Chapter 403 - 403 Nascent Soul

Inside the alchemy bottle was a single, light blue-colored pill with pale green lines on its surface.

This was a top-grade rank 5 ʼIcicle soul pillʼ that Shun Long had refined for himself and Liu Mei using the ʼicicle soul grassʼ that he had obtained from the rank 5 ʼSnow apesʼ in the Ten thousand beastsʼ mountain range.

The value of this pill even exceeded that of a raw ʼicicle soul grassʼ by almost 10 times, allowing a cultivator at the peak of rank 9 of the Spirit realm to condense their soul inside their spiritual space during the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage even more perfectly.

To refine this pill, Shun Long had used half a dozen of rank 5 medicinal herbs as supplementary medicinal ingredients, as well as the blood essence of the rank 5 ʼsnow apesʼ.

Every magic beast that had reached the rank 5 or above, had a special type of blood inside their hearts called ʼblood essenceʼ.

The value of the blood essence was only inferior to a magic beastʼs beast core, and sometimes, depending on the magic beasts, the blood essence may be even more valuable than the beast core itself!

Using the blood essence of the early rank 5 and the middle rank 5 snow apes to refine these pills increased the efficiency of the ʼicicle soul pillsʼ by at least 30 percent than a normal top-grade rank 5 ʼicicle soul pillʼ.

Holding the light blue-colored pill in his hand, Shun Long could feel a frosty feeling permeating his body, almost as if he had dove into a frozen lake that was trying to directly freeze his soul.

With his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ that had already reached the peak of the fourth stage long ago, Shun Long clearly understood, that this feeling that came from the ʼicicle soul pillʼ in his hands wasnʼt something that was affecting his body, but instead, something that was directly affecting his soul.

The moment that he placed the ʼicicle soul pillʼ in his mouth, Shun Long could feel his thoughts slowing down, almost as if his soul was suddenly placed inside a lake of ice.

And yet, Shun Long knew, that if he wanted to successfully complete his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, he had to get past this stage of condensing his soul inside his spiritual space that would then transform into a spiritual sea!

In the spacious hall inside the luxurious white palace that pierced the clouds, the disciples of the Holy sect were staring at the scene inside the screen of light with eyes filled with curiosity and shock.

The enormous black vortex above Shun Longʼs head had already covered the entire city, and was only now starting to decrease in size.

Although this was only one city among the one thousand cities of the third test, how could a black vortex that had covered an entire city fail to be noticed by the disciples of the Holy sect!?

Looking at the white-robed Elder Zhuan whose eyes were also staring at this scene as well, a young man turned his head to look at him before he asked curiously

ʼʼElder Zhuan, could this actually be a Nascent Soul vortex?ʼʼ

The moment that this question left the young manʼs mouth, the entire hall descended into silence, as everyone turned their gazes towards the white-robed Elder as they waited for his answer.

Elder Zhuan seemed to have instinctively wanted to shake his head in response, but at the same time, he wasnʼt confident enough to deny this either!

The reason was because the enormous black vortex did indeed resemble a Nascent Soul vortex!

After a few moments of silence, Elder Zhuan who was still staring at the gigantic screen of light slowly shook his head, before he said in a thoughtful tone

ʼʼIt is impossible for a Nascent Soul vortex to be this big, but in this world, nothing is truly impossible...

Additionally... the possibility of this vortex being created by an immortal-grade cultivation technique isnʼt impossible either...

In any case, as long as this person manages to pass the fourth test, we will definitely know the answer.ʼʼ

Elder Zhuanʼs words were like a sudden bolt of lightning that brought shock to the hearts of the disciples inside the hall.

Although they had guessed that there was probably something extraordinary about this black vortex, Elder Zhuanʼs guess wasnʼt something that could be easily accepted, causing hushed discussions to fill the hall!

ʼʼImmortal grade cultivation technique? Can there possibly be immortal grade cultivation techniques outside of the central region?ʼʼ

ʼʼI donʼt think so! This is just a guess in the end.ʼʼ

ʼʼEven Elder Zhuan doesnʼt seem confident in this matter. After all, aside from senior brother Chen who had a fortuitous encounter, I donʼt think that even inner disciples have immortal grade cultivation techniques!ʼʼ

...

As the disciples of the Holy sect continued to debate over this matter, rumbling sounds could be heard inside Shun Longʼs spiritual space, as an illusionary sea had started to form itself.

Shun Long immediately understood that this was the creation of his spiritual sea!

He had already heard from Little Black, that the moment that a cultivator entered the Nascent Soul stage, their spiritual strength would entirely transform into a spiritual sea.

The power of a personʼs soul sense was also directly related to the purity of their soul, as well as their spiritual sea!

An hour quickly passed, and at the same moment that the enormous black vortex above his head disappeared back inside his body, Shun Long who was already just a step away from entering the Nascent Soul stage, could feel the ʼicicle soul pillʼ providing enormous amounts of energy to his soul, before his spiritual space violently shook!

At the same moment that he could feel his Nascent soul successfully condensing itself and becoming hundreds of times more powerful than before, Shun Long could feel that a vast spiritual sea had also formed itself inside his spiritual space.

And right above this spiritual sea the ʼStone of Timeʼ was calmly floating in the air, almost as if it was overlooking the changes in its own home!

At this moment, Shun Long knew that he had finally entered the Nascent Soul stage!

However, just when Shun Long thought that his breakthrough was over and he was about to open his eyes, he suddenly felt his blood churning inside his body, like a volcano that was about to explode!

His arms and legs started to grow protective black scales that resembled black armor while immense amounts of energy started to fill his body, making Shun Long feel as if something had finally woken up inside him after thousands of years of slumber!
