Chapter 99: Chapter 86: The Brand New Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, Nascent Soul Stage

The Humanoid Weapon fused with the True Rigidity Dharma Aspect!No sooner had the idea surfaced like a spark than it spread like wildfire; Yang Ji couldn't suppress it if he wanted to. His mind was now utterly consumed by it.

So powerful was the thought in his subconscious that he wasted no time, immediately putting it into action.

Once the Humanoid Weapon was activated, Golden Tadpole Runes ceaselessly embedded themselves into the True Rigidity Dharma Aspect.

Though there was friction during the process of their mysterious fusion, the Golden Finger constantly corrected and improved the method, and the process continued slowly but surely.

As the essence of the two Cultivation Techniques fused, a completely new Dharma Aspect was meticulously taking shape.

A year passed.

Humm!

After the final Golden Tadpole Rune merged with the True Rigidity Dharma Aspect, a faint buzzing sound resonated, causing a tremble in both heaven and earth. The air rippled visibly.

At this moment, the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth was sheathed in a full suit of armor like a celestial being, mighty and exceptional, and the aura it emitted was more than ten times stronger than before.

Upon closer inspection, the intertwined and closely connected protective golden chainmail was the Golden Tadpole Runes that had merged with the True Rigidity Dharma Aspect.

This was no ordinary golden chainmail; Yang Ji knew it was completely integrated with the True Rigidity Dharma Aspect seamlessly. It could tap into the immense power of heaven and earth.

Now, standing before him, the whole space trembled. Merely by existing, the forces of heaven and earth converged toward it. It was extraordinarily magnificent.

Though Yang Ji had never witnessed a Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth solidified by a Supreme Daoist Technique, his instincts told him that the newly formed Dharma Aspect he had created was possibly no less than theirs.

Yang Ji, looking at the Dharma Aspect before him, was utterly satisfied. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just as the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth was completely stabilized, suddenly, as if from the depths of fate, a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble assaulted him from deep within his soul.

Whooo...

In the Sea of Consciousness, a raging wind began to blow, a wind so strong it felt like it could strip the land a hundred feet deep and reduce mountains to dust with its fearsome might.

"Wind Tribulation!"

Yang Ji knew that his first divine tribulation had arrived.

If the Primordial Spirit survived this tribulation, it could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and enjoy a lifespan of twelve hundred years.

The Wind Tribulation was a natural catastrophe of heaven and earth, targeting the Primordial Spirit specifically and exceptionally fierce.

The weaker Primordial Spirits might be torn apart, turned into soul light rain, and vanished from the Way of Life and Death.

Some Golden Core Cultivators at the peak of their Cultivation, despite having accumulated enough True Qi to solidify a Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, would often hesitate to make a breakthrough, fearing they might not survive the Wind Tribulation.

As the saying goes, the body is the boat, and the soul is the person on the boat.

While solidifying the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth would indeed attract Wind Tribulation, at the same time, the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth is also the "boat" that protects the Primordial Spirit from harm by the Wind Tribulation.

Yang Ji didn't have any Wind Tribulation Pills on hand and looked down on using them because his Cultivation of the Humanoid Weapon made his Primordial Spirit several times stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators.

Typically, after surviving the Wind Tribulation, the Primordial Spirit would transform from a semi-transparent state into a visible Yin God.

While a Yin God is visible to the naked eye, it is still like air, intangible to physical touch.

After passing through the Fire Tribulation, the Yin God then becomes the God of Yang.

The God of Yang is far more powerful than the Yin God. At this point, one can physically touch it, and it has a tangible sensation like the human body.

Once the Heavenly Tribulation is passed, the God of Yang transforms into a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit. This Primordial Spirit is indistinguishable from a human body and can live separately from the physical form.

The Primordial Spirit can exit the body and travel a thousand miles in a thought, killing people invisibly.

Some powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators at this stage can even achieve the ability to split their spirit, creating external incarnations of themselves. They live two lives in one body, quite formidable.

And to achieve Divinity Transformation, the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit is an essential step.

Because only the will of a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit can travel to the ends of the world, touch upon the Immortal Realm, and draw down the Daoist essences containing the mysteries of the Great Dao from the Immortal Realm.

Daoist essence is the energy needed to refine the Immortal Body of Divinity Transformation and also the energy to solidify the embryonic form of worlds. Only when the body is completely transformed into a Great Dao Body can it bear the Great Dao perceived and understood.

It could be said that the Nascent Soul refines the spirit, whilst Divinity Transformation refines the body.

Only with a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit combined with a Great Dao Body can one touch the Great Dao and qualify to hear its teachings.

At this moment, the strength of Yang Ji's Primordial Spirit had already reached the peak of a Yin God. To further progress and perfectly transform his Primordial Spirit, he chose not to use the Wind Tribulation Pills.

Because Heavenly Tribulation is a "tribulation," but it's also a blessing.

Without protection and by enduring the Heavenly Tribulation straightforwardly to advance perfectly is almost a unified approach for all geniuses.

Despite that, Yang Ji didn't dare to be careless. He became solemn, not wishing to fail at this critical juncture.

As the Gale wreaked havoc within the Sea of Consciousness, he immediately controlled his Primordial Spirit to fly into the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth.

Humm—

Whooo!

The Gale roared, furiously lashing out at the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth.

With the protection of the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, most of the Gale blasting out of the Sea of Consciousness was blocked.

However, a small part still penetrated the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth and struck the Primordial Spirit.

With his powerful Primordial Spirit, Yang Ji made no superfluous movements and allowed the Gale to blow over him, a perfect baptism for a perfect transformation.

The Gale blew for thirty breaths before its energy was exhausted, slowly dissipating.

But before Yang Ji could make a move,

Whooo...

The sound of the Gale rose once more.

He fixed his gaze and saw a wind spear coalescing between heaven and earth, wrapped with a faint white Spiritual Light, emitting a terrifying aura that seemed capable of piercing through the void. It transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the Primordial Spirit within the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth.

"Wasn't the Wind Tribulation already over? Why is there still more?"

Yang Ji was slightly surprised to see the ferocious momentum of the wind spear, and he dared not be careless. He immediately urged the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth to strike at it.

Whoosh!

Upon collision with the wind spear, the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth managed to weaken some of its energy, but it appeared that the heavenly tribulation was unstoppable; it directly pierced through the Dharma Aspect, promptly heading for the Primordial Spirit.

Seeing this, Yang Ji began to stimulate his Primordial Spirit to resist.

The impact of the wind spear against the Primordial Spirit sent ripples of glittering energy spreading out, and the entire interior of the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth became dazzling.

Behind this dazzling spectacle was Yang Ji's perseverance; he met the wind spear with his Primordial Spirit, making himself even stronger.

The wind spear and the Primordial Spirit were at a standstill for three breaths before the energy finally exhausted and dissipated.

Before Yang Ji could catch his breath, his nerves tensed once again the very next moment.

Wuu wuu wuu—

The winds between heaven and earth stirred wildly, bringing about a Wind Tribulation even more fierce than the previous two.

In an instant, a colossal wind giant materialized in front of the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth. It stood like an enraged Vajra, cold and ruthless, wielding a massive wind blade, surrounded by an aura of destruction.

Yang Ji's expression became serious; he hadn't anticipated another wave of Wind Tribulation.

Normally, there should only be one Wind Tribulation, but he faced three.

Perhaps it was because his Primordial Spirit and the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth were exceptionally strong, resulting in two extra Wind Tribulations?

There was no time for further contemplation.

A falling wind blade was his only response.

Yang Ji was not afraid; his heart tingled with excitement. Three Wind Tribulations were rare, though fearsome, but if he could transcend them, he would become even stronger.

"Come, let my Primordial Spirit transform once again."

Yang Ji stimulated the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth to defend.

But as the blade came down, it felt inherently unstoppable; it cut through the Dharma Aspect and struck directly upon the Primordial Spirit.

A sudden look of agony appeared on Yang Ji's face.

Although the wind blade did not cleave the Primordial Spirit, a soul-corroding Gale seeped into it.

The Gale rampaged within the Primordial Spirit, and in a moment, cracks appeared on its surface.

But Yang Ji was not afraid or panicked; he resisted strenuously.

Thirty breaths later, the Wind Tribulation dissipated, and his Primordial Spirit was like cracked porcelain, covered in fissures.

However, in the next moment, a mysterious Dao essence quietly surged from within his Primordial Spirit, quickly enveloping it.

Nourished by the Dao essence, the cracks on the surface of the Primordial Spirit were visibly repairing themselves.

In a mere three breaths, the Primordial Spirit had completely recovered.

After the refinement of the Wind Tribulation and the restoration by the Dao essence, the Primordial Spirit became flawless and permeated with an inexplicable aroma of the Great Dao, faintly radiating Spiritual Light and becoming even more sacred.

At this moment, two words surfaced in Yang Ji's mind—God of Yang.

Yes, at this moment, the Primordial Spirit had indeed become more powerful, transformed into the God of Yang.

"Indeed, what the books said is correct, the Wind Tribulation is not just a calamity, but also a blessing," Yang Ji gazed at his Primordial Spirit, having realized something, and murmured, "With this... I must truly be a Nascent Soul True Monarch now."

After the breakthrough, he felt both his Primordial Spirit and his Dharma Image had transcended and transformed.

In the depths of his being, he sensed that his lifespan increased significantly, the upper limit reaching more than twelve hundred years.

Over a thousand years.

At first glance, it seems little, but with the passage of time, who knows how many times the secular dynasties will change within those thousand years.

To know, the known history unearthed in ancient China is only a little over five thousand years old, showing the significant weight of these thousand years.

Yang Ji felt quite pleased in his heart, the Nascent Soul was achieved, and he took another step closer to Longevity.

At this moment, he carefully sensed his cultivation and looked at himself.

[Name: Yang Ji]

[Spiritual Root: Medium]

[Lifespan: 124/1200]

[Realm: Nascent Soul First Stage (0/27648000)]

[Cultivation Technique: Ling Water Technique (Low-Level), True Rigidity Divine Art (Daoist Technique)]

[Great Divine Power: Humanoid Weapon [Volume 1] (Perfected), [Volume 2] (Great Success)]

[Great Divine Power: Zhou Tian Nuoyi (Perfected)]

[Great Divine Power: Gui Cang Sword Technique [Dao of Li Sword (Perfected Sword Soul)], [Shocking Sword Dao (Perfected Sword Soul)], [Dao of Xun Sword (Perfected Sword Soul)], [Dao of the Kui Sword (Perfected Sword Soul)]

[Techniques: Water Tracing Sword Technqiue (Perfected), Light Body Skill (Perfected)]

Currently, to break through to the next realm, he would need over twenty million Cultivation Points, and if he had a Nine-Transformation Golden Pill to consume, it would take a little over a century.

That century is neither long nor short.

But Yang Ji didn't want to waste this time in vain; he resolved to venture into the Hell Arena. If he could find the Ziyang Fruit to enhance his Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed would greatly increase, essentially gaining back several decades of life for free.

Lifespan is valued by everyone, and Yang Ji was no exception.
