Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 728 - 339: Nascent Soul True Monarch (Part 3)
The passage of time flows, and several centuries have passed.
It has been a thousand years since that devastating battle swept across the realm.
On this day, on an unremarkable mountain peak.
Heaven and earth suddenly freeze.
The howling mountain winds abruptly halt, flowing clouds suspend in mid-air, and the sounds of insects and birds fall silent in an instant.
It is as if an invisible giant hand has forcibly torn this space from the original laws of heaven and earth, freezing it in place.
Several figures, as though stepping directly out of a frozen tableau of time, silently and without a trace, descend upon the peak.
It is none other than the Divinity Transformation Celestial Lord of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, and several perfected Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, why not come out for a meeting!"
The majestic voice of the Divinity Transformation Celestial Lord reverberates in all directions.
A moment later, a voice filled with resignation echoes.
"It’s been a thousand years, yet your Heaven-Suppressing Sect still manages to find me!"
At this moment, the void ripples, and a figure in blue robes materializes from illusion into reality, quietly appearing.
His face remains ordinary, but his eyes are as deep as a thousand-year-old cold pool, with the stars’ life and death seemingly held within them. His aura is flawlessly harmonious, having reached the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Perfection.
It is Xu Ping, who has hidden his identity and been in seclusion for a thousand years!
"Hmph, the means of our Holy Sect are beyond your imagination."
A perfected Nascent Soul cultivator snorts coldly, "Hand over the Profound Celestial Spirit Treasure, and our Holy Sect will spare you."
"Then try if you dare!"
Words exchanged, Xu Ping’s lips curve into a cold arc, the resignation replaced instantly by a Sword Intent sharp enough to tear the sky apart.
The battle erupts with a thunderous roar!
Xu Ping unleashes all his methods, risking it all to wield the Profound Celestial Spirit Treasure, slaying the Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s Divinity Transformation Celestial Lord and all perfected Nascent Soul cultivators.
Yet he is severely wounded, his Nascent Soul collapsing.
"Had I known today... I should have... secretly crossed into the Wind Origin Realm when the calamity first arose..."
Before his soul dissipates, he gazes at the shattered chaotic void, letting out one final long and bitter sigh.
This belated regret invades his remaining will like a final poison.
However!
Just as his mind is about to be wholly consumed by despair and remorse, ready to succumb to eternal darkness—
Buzz!
A strange Dao Resonance, seemingly from the very source of the Great Dao, unexpectedly suffuses the air.
This Dao Resonance, gentle, pure, and all-encompassing, instantaneously soothes his Divine Soul’s intense pain, dissipating the endless regret and despair!
The broken chaotic void before him, the sinister Divinity Transformation Celestial Lord, the dim Profound Celestial withered branch... like ink paintings thrown into water, begin to rapidly twist, fade, and vanish!
Xu Ping’s heart is violently shaken.
It’s as if he is suddenly pulled back from a deep abyss.
...
In the underground palace’s training ground, the roiling dark fog of the Heart Demon Tribulation remains coiled and pervasive like living creatures.
Sitting cross-legged, Xu Ping abruptly opens his tightly shut eyes.
Two substantial beams of brilliant green light, like divine swords opening the heavens, pierce through the gray fog.
His forehead is drenched in cold sweat, his face pale as paper, his chest heaving violently, as if just struggling free from a drowning abyss.
"Hah... hah..."
Xu Ping gasps heavily, his eyes still retaining a lingering fright and disbelief!
"Is this... a tribulation within the tribulation?!"
Even with his Dao heart as firm as iron, at this moment, he cannot help but feel a shudder of unease and lingering fear.
This tribulation within a tribulation is terrifying beyond measure; had it not been for his mastery of the ’Heart Refining Skill’ in Perfection, he might not have passed through.
"By conventional wisdom, even a Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation shouldn’t evolve into such a realistic, prolonged, ultimate-fear-inducing ’future illusion.’"
"Could it be that that piece of withered wood is truly the Profound Celestial Embryo?"
"Only a heaven-defying treasure like this, containing a trace of the Profound Celestial Great Dao’s source, could provoke such an unforeseeable and terrifying change in the Heart Demon Tribulation."
"Is it using this Heart Demon Tribulation... to warn me?!"
Recalling a scene from the Heart Demon world, Xu Ping still feels a chilling dread.
It was too real.
As if a corner of the real future.
Moreover, to affect his Heart Demon Tribulation, that piece of withered wood is likely the legendary Profound Celestial Embryo.
"In any case... I must prepare the retreat more thoroughly!"
The light in Xu Ping’s eyes explodes, instantly dispelling all luck and hesitation.
During the Heart Demon Tribulation, he had made ample preparations, but it was clearly insufficient.
This might be the Profound Celestial Embryo’s way of reminding him through the Heart Demon Tribulation.
"Wind Origin Realm, huh?"
Xu Ping murmurs, his gaze turning exceedingly profound.
Perhaps this path, seen as a desperate otherworldly escape, is the only way out?
Pushing down the tangled thoughts in his heart.
Xu Ping takes a deep breath, closes his eyes again, and begins to fully digest and stabilize the Nascent Soul Realm achieved after passing through the deadly Heart Demon and narrowly surviving!
Whoosh!
At this moment, the Heart Tribulation fog surrounding Xu Ping has already dispersed and disappeared.
The sky, once filled with dark clouds, clears after the rain.
The gray-black tribulation clouds high above retract like tidal waves.
Five-colored clouds bloom, forming a vast auspicious cloud over the underground palace.
The mysterious sound of the Great Dao rings from the rotating colorful auspicious clouds, descending with invisible Dao Resonance ripples.
Xu Ping’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body within resonates, gaining some comprehension of the Great Dao.
...
As the tribulation clouds disperse.
From several miles away, disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, observing the tribulation process, begin to approach out of curiosity.
"Successfully formed the Nascent Soul?"
"After decades, our sect has birthed another Nascent Soul True Monarch."
The celestial signs in the sky lead the disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to this conclusion, their spirits greatly uplifted.
Some exclaim in surprise, some express admiration, and many gaze in longing reverence.
At the same time, there are also those who harbor resentment and jealousy, but they deeply hide their emotions, not daring to show the slightest trace, fearing the perception of that newly ascended True Monarch.
At this moment, many eyes turn toward the area where the tribulation was transcended.
