At last, she had taken this crucial step.
Jiang Chengxuan felt a sense of relief.
He set up layers of restrictions near Shen Ruyan’s seclusion room to prevent the disturbance of spiritual Qi from affecting her cultivation.
After completing these preparations, he arrived at the mountain where Jiang Aman’s cave abode was located.
Rumble!
At the same time, thunderous sounds rolled across the sky.
Immediately after, large amounts of dark clouds began to gather.
This made everyone in Mount Mystic Tai look up.
Jiang Renyi and others seemed to understand what was happening immediately.
Excited, they quickly gathered at the mountain peak where Jiang Anran’s cave abode was located.
Among them was Huang Ling’er, who had a very close relationship with Jiang Anran.
“Brother Jiang, is Anran about to…?” Huang Ling’er couldn’t wait to ask as soon as she saw Jiang Chengxuan.
Seeing her inquiry, Jiang Renyi and others also turned their attention to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Yes, Anran has begun forming her Nascent Soul,” Jiang Chengxuan confirmed.
Upon receiving confirmation from Jiang Chengxuan, everyone, including Huang Ling’er, showed expressions of anticipation.
Buzz!
At that moment, the spiritual Qi of Mount Mystic Tai began rapidly converging towards the peak where Jiang Anran’s cave abode was located, quickly forming a vortex of spiritual Qi above the mountain.
At the same time.
Everyone present could distinctly feel a spiritual pressure entirely different from the Golden Core emanating from Jiang Anran’s cave abode.
Everyone’s hearts trembled as they looked in the direction of her cave abode.
There, a graceful silhouette had appeared, her long hair fluttering and her dress swaying in the wind.
She stood as if merged with the world around her, radiating a profound sense of harmony and integration.
This made everyone present instantly realize that Jiang Anran had successfully formed her Nascent Soul.
She looked in the direction of Jiang Chengxuan and met his gaze.
He smiled and nodded at her encouragingly, which brought a sense of calm to Jiang Anran, who was about to face the tribulation of the Nascent Soul.
She nodded back at her Shifu and then, without any hesitation, transformed into a streak of sword light, swiftly flying out of Mount Mystic Tai.
She was heading to face her Nascent Soul tribulation.
Rumble!
When Jiang Anran landed on an uninhabited mountain peak, the tribulation clouds in the sky had clearly reached a critical point.
Accompanied by a loud rumble, a dazzling lightning bolt struck directly at Jiang Anran.
Clang!
At the same time, a brilliant sword light erupted from the treasure in Jiang Anran’s hand.
The two forces collided in the air, causing a thunderous explosion.
Jiang Renyi, Huang Ling’er, Liu Linglong, and others who had hurried over watched anxiously, all except for Jiang Chengxuan, who remained calm.
He had already noticed that his disciple’s accumulation in Golden Core was profound.
Now, combined with the Origin Qi, although her achievement of a Heaven Nascent Soul would attract a more powerful tribulation, it was unlikely to pose a real threat to her.
Indeed.
Jiang Anran quickly extinguished the first tribulation lightning with her sword light.
The same went for the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and even the seventh tribulations. None posed a substantial threat to her.
Only the eighth tribulation brought some trouble to Jiang Anran.
However, with the treasures given to her earlier by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, she had a high chance of overcoming even the strongest tribulations.
When Jiang Anran also passed the final, ninth tribulation lightning, the tribulation clouds in the sky finally dispersed, replaced by a vast expanse of purifying spiritual Qi.
These energies not only rapidly restored the Dharmic power she had expended and healed her injuries but also helped her to solidify her current realm.
Finally.
After some time had passed, Jiang Anran’s condition stabilized.
She put away her treasures and knelt before Jiang Chengxuan, expressing her gratitude.
“Thank you for protecting and nurturing me, Shifu. It’s all thanks to your guidance and nurturing that I could have reached Nascent Soul today.”
It was obvious that Jiang Anran’s words were sincere.
A smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
She reached out to help Jiang Anran up and patted her shoulder with a smile.
“There’s no need for such formalities between us.
Your Shifu Shen is currently in a critical period of her own breakthrough and can’t personally congratulate you on your Nascent Soul advancement, but she has already made arrangements.
This lump of Earthly Divine Sand is her gift to you for your advancement to Nascent Soul.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan took out a yellow sandstone the size of an adult’s head.
This was an excellent material to refine a level 5 intrinsic earth-element True Treasure.
It was extremely precious.
If it was put up for auction, even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted and bid for it.
Jiang Anran received the Earthly Divine Sand from Jiang Chengxuan, her face lighting up with excitement.
Being a cultivator with an earth-elemental heavenly spiritual root, she knew very well that there was no better material for refining than this Earthly Divine Sand for someone in her current state.
“Additionally, take this Purple Sun Heavenly Fire Talisman. I recently acquired it from the Purple Sun Palace.”
Jiang Chengxuan said as he handed her a purple talisman with countless flame patterns swirling on its surface.
“This can be your trump card when traveling outside.
If fully activated, its power can match the full blow of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
It can be used three times.
Consider it as a congratulatory gift for your advancement to Nascent Soul from me.”
“Thank you, Shifu.”
Jiang Anran expressed her gratitude, surprised to receive such a powerful talisman.
She had witnessed its power before.
It could be described as earth-shattering.
Even though she had just broken through to the Nascent Soul, she could probably activate it only twice with her current Dharmic power.
But a single activation was enough to obliterate enemies below the level of grand cultivators.
Even a grand cultivator could perish under its formidable power if not careful.
After the rest of the people also congratulated Jiang Anran, she, along with Jiang Chengxuan and others, soon returned to Mount Mystic Tai.
Once back, Jiang Anran went to her cave abode to consolidate her new state, while Jiang Renyi and the others went about their own business.
Only Huang Ling’er found Jiang Chengxuan and told him something.
It was about her father, who had been missing for hundreds of years.
This immediately caught Jiang Chengxuan’s attention.
He took Huang Ling’er to Xuanming Peak and asked,
“Ling’er, you say you have some clues about your father? Are you sure it’s not a mistake?”
This was not to doubt Huang Ling’er, but her father, Huang Wenyu, had been missing for such a long time that many had forgotten his existence.
To Jiang Chengxuan’s knowledge, not many in the current Moon Watcher Sect remembered their Golden Core sect master.
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Huang Ling’er hesitated for a moment but eventually said,
“Brother Jiang, I am not entirely sure what it is about.
Recently, whenever I meditate, I keep seeing my father’s image unconsciously appearing in the depths of my sea of consciousness.
And he told me that he is no longer in the Nine Essences Cultivation World but in a place called the Astral Origin Cultivation World,” Huang Ling’er continued.
“Astral Origin Cultivation World?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s pupils constricted slightly.
If his memory served him correctly, he had read about the Astral Origin Cultivation World in the records of an ancient ruin.
It was a cultivation world even older than their Nine Essences Cultivation World, a place where great cultivators had once emerged.
He wondered what it had become after so much time had passed, as there were no records of its current state in the ancient ruins.
He looked solemnly at Huang Ling’er and asked, “Ling’er, did your father mention anything else besides his current whereabouts?”
Huang Ling’er nodded.
“Yes, he said that our Dustless Lower Sphere has lost its ascension passage. If we wish to ascend in the future, we must find a new sphere or rebuild the Ascension Platform.
He also passed on to me a cultivation technique called Arcane Maiden Heart Sutra. It seems to be very suitable for me to cultivate.”
Saying this, Huang Ling’er took out a jade slip and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Brother Jiang, this contains the entire content of the Arcane Maiden Heart Sutra. I’ve recorded it all. It’s a cultivation method that can be practiced from the Qi Refinement all the way to the peak of Soul Formation.”
Jiang Chengxuan carefully examined the jade slip he received from Huang Ling’er.
Indeed.
This so-called Arcane Maiden Heart Sutra Jing was a top-notch cultivation technique that could be cultivated all the way to the peak of Soul Formation.
With his current level of understanding, it was not hard for him to tell that this technique was indeed very suitable for Huang Ling’er to practice.
It was also because of this that Jiang Chengxuan was 100% sure that what Huang Ling’er said was true.
After all, the Astral Origin Cultivation World, the Dustless Lower Sphere, and the Arcane Maiden Heart Sutra were not something Huang Ling’er could have accessed with her current knowledge and status, especially the Dustless Lower Sphere.
This was a piece of information that Shen Ruyan had told him before.
Ordinary cultivators, even newly ascended Soul Formation Heavenly Lords like Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, would not be aware of this information..
