122 The Strength of the Nascent Soul Stage
The heavens and earth were overturned, and hell became a new sky!
Zhou Yun’s train of thought was interrupted. He looked up into the sky and saw dark clouds covering the sky. The sky was shrouded in darkness.
It was as if the day had suddenly turned into an eternal night! once again, Zhou Yun felt as if he was in a small world!
“Everyone, die! I only need to complete the sect leader’s last wish, to let the Soul Guide Sect’s name, its strength, and its terror envelop the entire world!” the right protector shouted madly.
Something began to emerge from the dark clouds. It was an arm! it was as if these arms were reaching out to grab the soul of the living! It was the soul-locking palm of hell!
But now that heaven and earth were reversed, this scene looked even more bizarre! Hell was suspended in the air, and countless hands fell from the sky, as if they were trying to grab and pull the living souls away!
There were gods three feet above their heads, and now the evil ghosts had attained the divine path!
“The evil ghost has become a God. Is this really a power that a cultivator can use?” Qiao’er couldn’t help but mutter to herself. She was completely stunned by what she saw!
Zhou Yun suddenly felt that he could move freely now!
“The thing up there isn’t easy to deal with. You two better stay put. Otherwise, even if it leaks a little bit of its power, it’ll be enough to crush you.” The spiritual corpse at the side looked up at the sky as if it was facing a great enemy.
Zhou Yun noticed that Meng Yuxin’s expressionless face was now scrunched up. However, her face was thin and weak. Even if she wrinkled her nose, there was no big difference.
“I didn’t think that this kid would actually touch the door to the nascent soul stage. This is bad, I’m in a dilemma. If I had known earlier, he wouldn’t have given him a cultivation technique that was too good. As expected, when a disciple becomes strong, it’s a kind of trouble.” The spiritual corpse said as it shook its head. It slowly took out the soul-guiding lamp.
Zhou Yun was stunned. He saw that the soul-guiding lamp was actually flashing with the light of a soul. He clearly remembered that all of the Heretic Sect disciples had objected to Meng Yuxin using the soul-guiding lamp. She shouldn’t have the right to use the soul-guiding lamp now!
‘That’s not right. If Meng Yuxin is really the Heretic Sect’s sect leader from a thousand years ago, then she can use it however she wants with just a word!’ Zhou Yun’s assumption had now turned into complete certainty. He was sure that Meng Yuxin was the Heretic Sect’s sect leader from a thousand years ago!
“Qiao’er, come here.” Zhou Yun took Qiao’er’s hand. If even Meng Yuxin had to be careful with the right protector’s attacks, then he would have to be even more careful! He had to avoid the aftermath of the attack and not let Qiao’er get hurt!
“Brother Zhou Yun, what kind of attack is that in the sky? Why do I feel so cold? It’s so terrifying.” Qiao’er leaned into Zhou Yun’s arms, trembling.
Zhou Yun also looked up at the sky as if he was facing a great enemy. Even though the skeletal throne was blocking him, he still felt an unparalleled fear.
“Is this the power of a nascent soul? Could it be that a nascent soul cultivator is already capable of controlling the world?” Zhou Yun gritted his teeth. Right now, he was only a foundation establishment cultivator. Even self-protection was a problem, let alone being able to interfere in the current battle!
“This isn’t the power of a nascent soul. He’s just borrowing it. However, he’s not wrong. His attack did indeed contain a portion of the true strength of a nascent soul cultivator.” The spiritual corpse looked at the sky and said slowly. It continued to pull out the corpses on the skeletal throne.
“This right protector is truly worthy of being the child that this old man took a fancy to. His talent is comparable to yours. Zhou Yun, hurry up and break through to the golden core stage. I still have an important task for you to complete.” It seemed that after the right protector came out, Meng Yuxin realized that it was useless to hide her identity. She called herself an old man and no longer hid her identity.
“What do you want me to do? Is it for Venerable Xunling? Isn’t the Treasure Pavilion a force even weaker than the five sects? A thousand years ago, you led the countless heretic cultivators to attack the Treasure Pavilion and find Venerable Xunling. Wasn’t that easy?” Zhou Yun asked warily.
“Hehe. you’ve thought a lot, kid. Speaking of which, you’re also a freak. I’ve never seen a freak who can use sudden enlightenment to think instead of cultivating.” The spiritual corpse gave Zhou Yun a strange look. However, if he knew that Zhou Yun could even have an epiphany at the foundation establishment stage, he would probably be dumbfounded!
“Although I really want to tell you, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you now. But if you can break through to the golden core stage, I might say a few more words if I’m in the mood.” The spiritual corpse shook its head. It had finally assembled the remains from the skeletal throne into a small altar.
Immediately after, Zhou Yun saw the spiritual corpse heave a sigh of relief as it threw the soul-guiding lamp into the altar made of bones. Soon, the faint blue soul light slowly filled the altar like water.
“How is it? Don’t hide your strength anymore. I know geniuses like you best. If you want to, I believe that you can directly break through to the golden core stage. If you can break through to the golden core stage within ten days, I can tell you my plan. Otherwise, you can only slowly become stronger like this until you become the strongest and then break through to golden core. At that time, I will also chat with you about my great plan!” After the spiritual corpse was done, it suddenly turned its head 180 degrees to look at Zhou Yun.
“The first option is you’ll know all of my plans in just ten days. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for another year or even ten years before you break through to the golden core stage. Zhou Yun, aren’t you curious about what my thousand-year plan is?” the spiritual corpse continued to bewitch him.
“…” Zhou Yun didn’t reply to Meng Yuxin’s question. He did not understand why he had to break through within ten days, nor did he understand why he had to wait for his perfect breakthrough to the golden core stage if he missed these ten days.
But if he had to choose, Zhou Yun would definitely choose the latter! Even though he knew that his chances of winning were very low, Zhou Yun still planned to train himself to the limit and break through to the golden core stage. He wanted to escape from the hands of Meng Yuxin, the Heretic Sect’s sect leader a thousand years ago!
“Tsk, it looks like another one with a brain dead. But that’s good too. If you break through too quickly, I won’t be able to let that person choose you.” Seeing that Zhou Yun did not reply, the spiritual corpse did not force him.
“Then, let’s shoot down that thing above. It’s better to say that everything is going as I expected. These two protectors are truly my most adorable and loyal disciples.” The corners of the spiritual corpse’s mouth curled up strangely.
“Right protector, since you don’t believe me, do you want to see the real evidence?” The spiritual corpse shouted at the sky, as if it did not care about the right protector’s attack.
The right protector did not respond. It was as if this attack had exhausted all his energy!
“Zhou Yun, only nascent soul cultivators can defeat nascent soul cultivators. Look closely, what a true nascent soul is!” the spiritual corpse suddenly pounced toward the altar that was filled with soul light!
