Chapter 477: Chapter 250: Cultivating the Nascent Soul_2
He was immediately teleported to the Alchemy Room, where he met the Pill Immortal Master, “Master, I have reached the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Golden Core, and I am planning to start incubating my Nascent Soul and make a breakthrough in the near future.”
Zhang Dao Xuan’s face revealed a look of astonishment, “Good boy, it’s only been over a decade, and you have already attained Great Perfection in the Tenth Level of Golden Core, your Cultivation Speed is completely beyond the ordinary.”
“Master, think about it, how many things about me are ordinary?” Lin Yi said with a laugh.
Zhang Dao Xuan burst into laughter, “That’s true, the unexpected is the norm with you.”
Then, he continued, “Although you have already reached the Tenth Level of Golden Core and truly achieved Great Perfection, the Nascent Soul is a reduced breakthrough difficulty for you, but it still cannot be underestimated, and you must not be impatient.”
“Moreover, transforming the golden core into an infant presents an opportunity for you, who possesses a Golden Core with seven attributes. Perhaps you could further integrate your seven elements during the process of incubating the Nascent Soul.”
“Yes, Master, I will prepare well,” Lin Yi nodded and said.
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded slightly, patted his shoulder, “Work hard, let’s see if you can achieve the Nascent Soul before turning two hundred. Would you like to see Zhi Ling and the others now?”
“No need, just bid them farewell for me, Master. I have been frequently visiting the Spirit Beast Dojo during these years of cultivation, and I have taught everything that needs to be taught,” Lin Yi shook his head and said.
This time in his Tenth Level Golden Core cultivation, mainly benefited from the Pill Immortal Master’s resources, so he was not entirely focused on solitary cultivation.
He also made it a point to visit the Spirit Beast Dojo periodically, instruct his disciples, and nourish some merit-worthy Spirit Beasts. Their bloodlines were thus enhanced to varying degrees.
“Very well, then you should begin preparing to transform the core into an infant. I am looking forward to your good news,” Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and said.
After Lin Yi had teleported away, a look of wistfulness crossed his face. He had watched this young man, step by step, from initial Qi Refinement, strictly speaking, from the Foundation Building Realm, cultivate to this day where he was about to become Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Looking back, it seemed like a dream, and it had only been just over a hundred years.
He really wanted to see if this young man could ultimately become an immortal existence, but he was unsure if he would have the chance.
Subsequently, his figure gradually disappeared and arrived at the Spirit Beast Dojo, where he informed Zhi Ling’s Fire Feather and a few Golden Core Spirit Beasts in the Dojo about Lin Yi’s retreat into seclusion.
At this time, the one in charge of the dojo’s affairs was the Golden Ape who, hearing of Lin Yi’s seclusion, couldn’t help but roar out, “Ah Yi is always in seclusion. He wouldn’t be becoming Nascent Soul True Monarch, would he? I can’t fall behind. Big Bull, should I let you manage the dojo?”

“Little Ape, you keep calling him Ah Yi. Once my master becomes Nascent Soul True Monarch, you’ll have to call him senior,” Zhi Ling stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud and triumphant.
“When I was in the Golden Core, your master was still playing with Qi Refinement. I could surpass him at any time,” the Golden Ape said, refusing to admit defeat.
Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head and laughed, “Little Gold, stop boasting. Focus on your work. You’re not going to break through to the Bone Refinement Realm anytime soon.”
“Ah, it’s not that I don’t want to make a breakthrough, but I have to consider the dojo. I can only let Ah Yi take the lead temporarily,” the Golden Ape sighed, appearing as though he was making all sorts of sacrifices for the dojo.
At the same time, the Green Python and White Deer, who were currently in seclusion, also heard the news. The White Deer, already at the Golden Core Perfection Realm and cultivating towards the Bone Refinement Realm, fell silent for a while before starting to cultivate even more determinedly.
It had a feeling that Lin Yi would definitely break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this seclusion. Back when Lin Yi first entered the Secret Realm, it was a Golden Core cultivator, and now it was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, while it was still a Golden Core cultivator.
The only one who had greatly benefited was the White Painting. It had successfully underwent the Crossing Tribulation Transformation and ascended to the Upper Realm.
It would need to redouble its efforts. However, it was certain that it would not be able to catch up to Lin Yi, and would only be able to reach the Bone Refinement Realm after him.
Lin Yi, once again, arrived in the cultivation cave mansion infused with five-element spiritual energy, beginning to comprehend some information about the nurturing of the nascent soul, all provided by Pill Immortal Master.
Within the Liu Yun Sect, he was merely at the Foundation Building Realm, yet to achieve the Golden Core, and it was impossible for him to obtain information about nurturing the nascent soul. Moreover, everyone’s situation is different, so this information can only serve as a reference, and can’t be completely copied.
Looking at the information about breaking the dan to form the infant, Lin Yi felt somewhat emotional. Previously on Earth, he had read many cultivation novels which portrayed various authors’ differing ideas about the nascent soul.
Some established that the nascent soul was formed by breaking the dan, others that it was formed by transforming the dan. However, what was common was that the golden core was the embryo for nurturing the nascent soul, and in this Heng Yuan Cultivation World, the nascent soul was formed by breaking the dan.
Specifically, it involves slowly nurturing the nascent soul within the golden core, and then having it burst out of its shell, which is referred to as breaking the dan to form the infant. Similar to animals breaking out of their shells, this process cannot be assisted by external forces and relies solely on the persistence of the nascent soul itself.
At the same time, this process is the most difficult part of achieving the nascent soul.
Of course, different ideas exist about the location of this infant body that is formed after achieving the nascent soul. Some suggest it’s still located in the dantian, where the golden core is, while others think it is in the god mansion, also known as the Purple Mansion, Upper Field of Elixir, or the Mud Pill Palace.
In the Heng Yuan Cultivation World, after breaking the dan to form the infant, the nascent soul will still reside within the dantian. It will only depart from the god mansion through the top of the head when reaching the realm of Deification, and after returning to its original body, it will return to the dantian.
Arriving at the Nascent Soul Realm, the cultivator will possess the basic capability to resurrect. As long as the nascent soul doesn’t perish, they can reincarnate by seizing another body. If they transform into a primordial spirit, as long as a thread of the primordial spirit remains, there may be a chance to reincarnate by seizing another body.
However, reincarnation will come with a loss to one’s virtue, and during the Heavenly Tribulation, the cultivators will receive special attention from the tribulation lightning.
But for cultivators whose bodies have been destroyed, they won’t consider such remote concerns. They give priority to reincarnation and live another day.
After meditating on the information provided by the Pill Immortal Master for several months, Lin Yi began to make attempts. Comprehending this information gave him no opportunities for enlightenment, so he had to try in person. Only through failures could he become enlightened.
There were two difficult points in breaking the dan to form the infant. The breaking of the nascent soul shell was one of them, and the other was the nurturing of the nascent soul. Similar to the crystallization of life, there must be a way to nurture it within the golden core. Even with a supreme-grade spiritual root, it requires a great deal of time investment. Some could still fail despite attempting in all sorts of ways.
The reason he previously concluded that Master Golden Sword could achieve the nascent soul within decades was because he saw a hint of the nascent soul’s form inside the golden core of Master Golden Sword through the Eye of Emptiness, effectively overcoming the first hurdle.
To nurture the golden core, it requires taking from the golden core’s primal essence as a primer for the nurturing.
In ancient times, there was a saying of “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones”, and now “One Qi Transforms into Primordial Infant”. While it seems simple, it’s incredibly tough to achieve.
It’s not difficult to extract the gas from the golden core, the difficulty lies in the nurturing. One thread of gas transforming into a life is not as simple as just blowing air.
Lin Yi began to try to extract a thread of primal qi from his golden core. This primal qi is not the spiritual energy within the golden core, but the fundamental place from which the golden core is formed. It can’t be regenerated and is like the foundation of a cultivator.
If a thread can’t nurture a nascent soul, even extracting more is useless.
Just as he drew a thread of pure primal qi from his golden core, the Creation Method suddenly started to operate automatically. Following that, in every location within the golden core where an element was present, a thread of primal qi emerged, each carrying its corresponding core element.
Subsequently, these seven threads of elemental primal qi merged with the pure qi, gradually turning purple.
An unusual color appeared on Lin Yi’s face as he was inevitably reminded of the phrase “Purple Qi comes from the east”.
The legendary Hong Meng Qi was said to be purple, also known as Hong Meng Purple Qi. It’s the macrocosmic response and the basis for becoming a saint. Owning it means one has the qualifications to become a saint.
However, the purple qi he had formed from his golden core’s primal qi probably couldn’t compare to the legendary Hong Meng Qi. But in the world of cultivation, the color purple also represents nobility. Perhaps the nascent soul nurtured from this purple qi will have extraordinary abilities.
