Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 720 - 337: Nascent Soul Formation (Part 1)

Chapter 720: Chapter 337: Nascent Soul Formation (Part 1)

A child with untapped potential in Sword Dao, unable to withstand the impact of the true essence of Sword Dao, akin to a mortal gazing directly at the sun, overburdened, commonly referred to as overload.

Thus, he fell into a coma.

Yet, cautious as always, Xu Ping scanned Wang Hu’s body with his Divine Sense.

Xu Ping carefully examined him and confirmed that the child had merely fainted due to witnessing the perfection of Sword Dao, resulting in a mental shock without any real harm.

On the contrary, this mental shock laid a rare foundation for his future cultivation in Sword Dao.

Xu Ping lifted him gently to an armchair using Mana.

He then tapped his fingertip against the youth’s forehead, sending in a strand of refreshing Spiritual Qi to help alleviate the shock.

"This child’s talent in Sword Dao is indeed extraordinary." Xu Ping mused as he looked at the unconscious Wang Hu.

Driven by a thought, he retrieved a jade slip from his Storage Ring, lightly infusing it with the complete inheritance of a Third Rank Cultivation Technique, "Flowing Moon Sword Skill".

Although not an extremely profound sword technique, it’s an unparalleled opportunity for a beginner in Sword Dao.

After years of companionship, this small gift would also foster a bond of goodwill.

"There are talents everywhere in the world, perhaps one day when we meet again, you will be a renowned Sword Dao master." Xu Ping murmured, then turned to leave.

He initially intended to test the power of his perfected Heart Refining Skill and Sword Dao, but the populous area was unsuitable for display.

Moreover, his path in Heart Refining has reached perfection; it is time to return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and attempt Nascent Soul Formation.

...

Seven days later, deep within a secluded valley.

The mountains here are steep, ancient trees tower above, and occasionally beasts roar in the forest, the Spiritual Qi is several times denser than usual places.

In the deepest recess of the valley, an open level space where Xu Ping faces Water Lake Mouse.

"Master, let us begin!"

Water Lake Mouse had reverted to its true form, standing ten zhang long on the ground, with its head held high, eyes gleaming with excitement.

Being a Fourth Rank Demon Monarch, it had continuously consumed the blood and essence of the Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch over the years, greatly advancing its cultivation and confidence in its own strength.

When Xu Ping proposed to test his Sword Dao cultivation using it as a sparring partner, Water Lake Mouse eagerly agreed.

"Very well!"

Xu Ping smiled slightly, his spirits high.

He flipped his palm, and a green longsword appeared from thin air—the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

The sword’s body glistened lushly, with wood patterns flowing, but the edge emitted a piercing killing aura not typical of the Wood Element.

After years of nurturing, this nearly Spirit Treasure is close to becoming a true Spirit Treasure.

He estimated that when he achieves Nascent Soul, his Lifebound Magical Treasure would transform into a genuine Spirit Treasure!

Moreover, due to it being a Lifebound Magical Treasure, its exhibited power is even greater.

"Slash!"

Xu Ping gently shook the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, causing green light to surge from the blade, shooting a sharp sword beam from the tip.

More astonishingly to Water Lake Mouse, this sword beam instantly split into thousands of tiny beams while in flight, pouring down like a sword rain.

Each beam was concentrated and pure, with edge prolific, emitting a chilling killing aura.

Countless sword beams intertwined into a web, impenetrable, immediately enveloping the area around Water Lake Mouse completely.

Where Sword Qi collided, even the void seemed to tremble, producing a subtle humming sound.

After achieving perfection in the "Flowing Moon Sword Skill," his Sword Dao realm advanced further to the level of a hundred swords transforming into a thousand.

This level of Sword Dao would astonish even Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators!

"Has Master’s Sword Dao improved so quickly??"

Seeing this situation, a flash of shock crossed Water Lake Mouse’s eyes, but it soon regained its composure.

Its Fourth Rank Demon Monarch instincts quickly surfaced, forming a pale blue protective shield over its body while swiftly maneuvering its massive form with agility.

"Profound Nether Heavy Water!"

Water Lake Mouse articulated human words, causing countless droplets to appear around its body, which quickly gathered in the air to form a water curtain meeting the dense sword rain.

Crack, crack!

Sword Qi collided with Profound Nether Heavy Water, producing a series of crisp sounds.

The water curtain being pierced by Sword Qi quickly healed, as Water Lake Mouse took the opportunity to constantly shift positions, attempting to evade the most intense Sword Qi.

Xu Ping observed this, his lips curling slightly upwards.

He hadn’t exerted full strength, merely trying out the power of the perfected Sword Dao.

And Water Lake Mouse’s performance was indeed extraordinary, showing considerable progress over the years.

"Flowing Moon Shadow Pursuit!"

Xu Ping’s Sword Technique switched, the green light on the Canghua Divine Wood Sword amplified, transforming the blade into a bright moon, illuminating the heavens and earth as it enveloped Water Lake Mouse.

"Squeak!"

Water Lake Mouse cried out, its form expanding explosively, while simultaneously invoking Profound Nether Heavy Water to form a water ball completely enclosing itself.

Boom, boom, boom!

Sword Qi fell like rain, incessantly striking the water ball, stirring layers of ripples.

Water Lake Mouse, defending with all its might, was still shaken and swayed.

Xu Ping’s gaze was electric, his Sword Technique continuously shifting.

His Mana was already close to a quasi-Fourth Rank level, now bolstered by the Sword Dao realm, the might of the Sword Qi was stronger by half compared to ordinary Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"The final strike!"

Xu Ping gently rotated the longsword in his hand, causing the myriad sword qi to converge like rivers to the sea, all returning to the sword tip to condense into a dazzling green-white pillar of light, piercing straight at the center of Water Lake Mouse’s protective water ball.

Water Lake Mouse’s expression mildly altered, fully invoking Profound Nether Heavy Water to resist.

However, this strike was unlike the ordinary.

With thousands of tiny sword beams converging together, in a mere instant, the center of the water ball was already besieged over a thousand times.
