Chapter 143: Hard Work Pays Off, Nascent Soul!
Inside the mine, as a violent tremor shook the ground, a brilliant light shone from Ji Yang’s eyes.
His entire aura surged, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!
At that moment, the Feather Transformation Golden Core in his dantian completely vanished, replaced by a brand-new little figure inside him.
This was the cultivator’s Nascent Soul!
As his realm broke through, the spiritual energy inside him quickly dissipated, indicating that the enhancement from his cultivation points had reached its limit. Fortunately, he had saved some cultivation points; otherwise, it might not have been enough.
But thankfully, he had succeeded in the breakthrough!
Ji Yang closed his eyes, carefully feeling the new realm and the newly emerged Nascent Soul.
His Nascent Soul was completely snow-white, vividly alive, and its face was exactly like his own, even surpassing him in some aspects, which made Ji Yang feel a bit uncomfortable!
After looking a bit longer, Ji Yang couldn’t help but nod.
It was truly handsome! No wonder it looked like him!
At this moment, the Nascent Soul sat cross-legged in the dantian, and True Essence flowed continuously with its breath. Ji Yang could easily strike out whenever he felt the urge.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Ji Yang’s combat power skyrocketed. Whether it was various abilities or Thousands of Sword Energies, their power significantly increased!
In addition, his lifespan vastly extended!
Moreover, with Sword Cultivation, he could nurture one more sword; if he nurtured enough, it would become even more convenient to use.
The sooner he nurtured, the sooner he could use it. Ji Yang wasted no time and took out a Superior flying sword, sinking it into an acupuncture point.
The advantages of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage did not end there; the ability of the primordial spirit to sense its surroundings expanded significantly. Coupled with Ji Yang’s own spiritual attributes and the enhancement from the Huang Ting Dao Jing, he far exceeded other cultivators of the same level. However, in the mine, it was not easy to experiment.
Yet, with just a slight sense, Ji Yang noticed that the mine was deserted, with people gathering outside in the camp. He had no idea what was happening.
Additionally, once cultivators reached the Nascent Soul Stage, their ability to escape greatly improved.
In the Golden Core Stage, the Golden Core couldn’t be far from the body for long; otherwise, the physical body would decay, leading to a shorter lifespan!
Moreover, if a Golden Core stage cultivator’s body was destroyed, they were very likely to perish.
However, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was not confined to their body. The Nascent Soul could leave the body for several days and escape quickly. Even without a physical form, they could still perform soul-seizing!
However, there were many restrictions, and calamity clouds could descend, an event that few could endure!
Furthermore, each sect had treasures and formations for surveillance; the soul-seizing technique was typically only used by cultivators in desperate situations, and due to the mismatch of physical attributes, the success rate was extremely low.
Even among demonic path cultivators, few dared to use it.
To test his Nascent Soul’s power, Ji Yang attempted to let his primordial spirit exit the body, briefly departing from his physical form, to experience the wonders of the Nascent Soul.
As the Nascent Soul left his body, Ji Yang slowly opened his eyes, revealing a scene of darkness before him.
Ji Yang was momentarily stunned. What happened? Where were his allies?
When he stepped back slightly, avoiding the nearby Xuan Iron Mine, and looked down, he finally understood where he was.
His physical body stood quietly in the mine tunnel below, eyes vacant, clearly devoid of thought.
However, there was a technique in the Huang Ting Dao Jing called the "Divine Separation Technique," which could leave a trace of primordial spirit energy within the body, allowing it to perform simple actions, though it could not be used for combat.
Those who can split into two for battle are either at a higher realm or possess unique abilities.
Continuing to gaze down at himself, Ji Yang felt quite peculiar.
Wait, looking down?
At that moment, Ji Yang suddenly sensed something was off.
Looking down, he wondered how his arms and torso had become twice as thick as his original body.
Staring at his arms, which he could easily crush with one hand, Ji Yang was a bit dazed. Is this what you call a Nascent Soul?
From what he knew, a typical cultivator’s Nascent Soul was only the size of a fist, making it easier to escape. Even exceptionally talented disciples did not have such an exaggerated form. He had never heard of anyone’s Nascent Soul being half a human tall.
Moreover, he had never heard of anyone’s Nascent Soul being over twice the size of their original body!
But feeling his physical body ahead and looking at his own appearance confirmed for Ji Yang that this was indeed his Nascent Soul.
It was indeed that big, only automatically shrinking in size when in the dantian. Its essence remained the same, so it couldn’t shrink to a normal size outside.
Ji Yang felt a bit speechless but roughly guessed the reason.
Aside from the secret technique of the Huang Ting Dao Jing, it was largely due to the white Light points he had absorbed over the years.
If this continued, would his Nascent Soul become even stronger than his physical body in the future?
Ji Yang thought to himself.
Then, shaking his head, Ji Yang quickly snapped back to reality. In any case, he felt no abnormalities in his body, so that was good. If it was bigger, then so be it; after all, which man doesn’t like something bigger?
Now that he was focused, Ji Yang began to carefully sense the actions of his Nascent Soul outside.
Without the constraints of a physical body, Ji Yang felt light on his feet. With a gentle leap, he could fly hundreds of meters or even farther. If he exerted himself, he could traverse the Xuan Iron Mine as well. This was Ji Yang’s intuition, though it would require some effort, which he did not want to expend.
No wonder people said the Nascent Soul is good for escaping; however, Ji Yang thought that with his massive Nascent Soul, it might not be easy to flee.
Previously, Ji Yang had read about the Nascent Soul Stage and learned that when separating from the body, various discomforts could occur, requiring time to adjust to the outside world. Moreover, one shouldn’t be separated for too long.
But Ji Yang didn’t feel any of that. He thought that after a brief separation, his physical body seemed to be fine, though he didn’t want to test it further.
After contemplating his Nascent Soul, Ji Yang wanted to explore deeper and see if his Nascent Soul could attack.
He tried to channel his True Essence to cast the Fireball Technique, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.
His True Essence condensed in his physical body, and now, with just reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Ji Yang was unable to manipulate it outside of the body, making it impossible to execute spells.
Although the spell failed, Ji Yang could distinctly feel the sword intent nurtured by Sword Cultivation and even activate it!
It was truly a divine ability, far superior to spells.
While spells and magical tools were not possible, as for magical treasures, unfortunately, Ji Yang didn’t have any yet and couldn’t verify them.
Although he couldn’t perform physical attacks, relying on his powerful primordial spirit energy and the Huang Ting Dao Jing he practiced, Ji Yang easily condensed a primordial spirit sword.
However, this sword could only slay primordial spirits, not physical bodies!
Additionally, Ji Yang discovered that the Heaven’s Secret Pearl could also reside within his primordial spirit.
After gaining a rough understanding of the Nascent Soul Stage, Ji Yang flew back into his body, no longer testing.
As the Nascent Soul returned to his body, the sparkle in Ji Yang’s eyes quickly resumed.
Then Ji Yang sensed his body and found no discomfort. However, looking at the Nascent Soul in his dantian, which was only the size of a fist, Ji Yang was still somewhat astonished.
How could it be so large?
Soon, Ji Yang activated the Breath-Holding Technique, suppressing his realm to the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment!
He had just entered the inner sect and needed to consolidate for two more years.
Just as Ji Yang prepared to begin mining, he felt a sudden intuition and looked up.
His gaze pierced through the Xuan Iron Mine, directly focusing on the area outside the mountain.
