Su Yuan stepped onto the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion alone.
He saw many Nascent Soul-level Cultivation Technique Legacies, each Sealed within a Formation.
Su Yuan approached a Cultivation Technique, and the Formation automatically opened for him.
Su Yuan casually browsed through them.
After he finished reading the explanations on how a Nascent Soul Cultivates in dozens of Cultivation Techniques, he basically understood the principle of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Nascent Soul is the transformation of the Golden Core into a human form, allowing a part of one's Soul to take over it, mimicking an energy life form. This allows mana to rapidly enhance Soul strength, making it easier to comprehend the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth and grasp Concepts.
Cultivating before the Golden Core was merely to prepare an "energy Physical Body" for the Soul. Then, using the most basic principle of "Physical Body nurturing Soul" in Heaven and Earth, the Soul could undergo a metamorphosis and transform into a Nascent Soul, thereby bringing a person closer to the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth.
The Primordial Spirit is a further step, where the vast majority of a person's Soul takes over the mana. The two combine, achieving a high degree of Fusion with the Soul, and mana and Soul become a single entity, forming the Primordial Spirit Body!
The Soul can then transform to a higher level, making it easier to comprehend the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth, and eventually gaining the ability to grasp a trace of Law.
Therefore, the purpose of Cultivating a Primordial Spirit is simply to comprehend Law.
In Void Refining, the so-called "void" refers to the ethereal Law. Void Refining is about refining the power of Law and integrating it into the Primordial Spirit, giving the Primordial Spirit the characteristics of Law and causing the Primordial Spirit to transform!
Body Integration, on the other hand, is the Fusion of the transformed Primordial Spirit, which possesses the characteristics of Law, with the Physical Body. This allows one's own body to also possess the characteristics of Law, making it easier to comprehend Law.
The Origin of a Human Race is a flesh-and-blood life form. The Spirit Transformation step in between merely borrows some characteristics of energy life forms to gain convenience in comprehending Law. However, this path cannot go far, because Humans are not true energy life forms, and for the Soul to continue growing, it still requires the support of the Physical Body, otherwise it will be countless times more difficult.
Therefore, in the end, it must return to the Physical Body and integrate into one, which is called "Body Integration."
After this step, one can unleash Law with every move. With the protection and nourishment of a Law Physical Body, the Primordial Spirit can also continue to improve. Once it reaches a certain level, Heaven and Earth will bring down a Heavenly Tribulation.
These Heavenly Tribulations can make the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body more attuned to Law, integrating more power of Law, thereby unleashing even greater strength.
The subsequent Realm is Mahayana and above.
Su Yuan came back to his senses, lost in thought.
He looked at his Physical Body, vaguely seeing traces of Star Law circulating within it.
Because of his 100,000-year lifespan, his Physical Body had reached the level of a certain Divine Beast. His Physical Body automatically possessed the ability to integrate Law without the need for Primordial Spirit Fusion. In this case, did he still need to Cultivate a Primordial Spirit?
The answer was definitely yes, because the Primordial Spirit could increase the talent for comprehending Law. However, he believed that shattering the Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul was no longer necessary.
Why not directly use mana to promote the Soul's transformation into a Nascent Soul?
Isn't it better to keep the Golden Core?
Others shatter their Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul because their mana supply is insufficient, requiring the entire Golden Core plus additional energy to support the Formation of the Nascent Soul. At the same time, a trace of Concept power nurtured within the Golden Core is used as the Origin to shape the energy life form.
One crucial point is that the Dao Foundation shaped during the Foundation Establishment Realm is precisely to prepare for this Nascent Soul step. The Dao Foundation is nurtured within the Golden Core, and only after integrating some Heaven And Earth Treasure can it carry that trace of Concept, leading to the subsequent Nascent Soul Body.
Therefore, in the past, this Cultivation system was interconnected.
But Su Yuan's mana was plentiful, and his mana recovery speed was fast enough, so there was no need to shatter the Golden Core to provide mana! As for the Concept power needed to condense the Nascent Soul, he could easily extract a trace and integrate it.
And the Dao Foundation that carries this trace of Concept (formed from Spiritual Root, the key to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment)... Su Yuan did not integrate it into the Golden Core from the beginning, but rather used it as a "vessel (i.e., the Burning Wood Forging Gold Cauldron)" to carry the Golden Core. At this point, his Golden Core no longer needed this Dao Foundation for protection, and it could directly be used to carry the Concept, so there was no need to shatter the Golden Core either.
"If someone else could Cultivate more than seven Golden Cores like me, and comprehend enough Concepts, perhaps they wouldn't need to shatter their Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul, and could transform their Soul into the form of a Nascent Soul! Even if they had to shatter a Golden Core, shattering just one or two would be enough!"
Su Yuan suddenly realized a problem.
"Wait, when others condense a Golden Core, they must use the Dao Foundation as the core, otherwise it's impossible for it to form as a whole. But because I condensed my Golden Core gradually, starting from the Golden Sand Realm, I didn't need to use the Dao Foundation to construct the Golden Core, which left this Dao Foundation free."
Su Yuan suddenly understood. No wonder he could condense multiple Golden Cores, while the ordinary Cultivation system could only condense one. This Cultivation process from the Golden Sand Realm to the Golden Star Realm not only reduced the difficulty of condensing the Golden Core, but also eliminated the need for the Dao Foundation!
Su Yuan pondered, unconsciously transferring the Dao Foundation into his Sea of Consciousness.
The Dao Foundation, transformed from a Spiritual Root, automatically merged with his Soul and produced a strong thirst for mana.
Su Yuan directly activated his nine Golden Cores, fully providing mana for the combination of his Soul and Dao Foundation.
Mana, Dao Foundation, and Soul gradually merged, and under Su Yuan's subconscious influence, gradually transformed into a human form.
Su Yuan had enough mana, and his recovery speed was fast, so he wasn't worried about the consumption of mana during the condensation process.
But the Spiritual Qi from the outside was not enough!
Su Yuan stepped out, directly entering the six-tier Immortal Cave Spirit Treasure, the floating light pot. The Primordial Pool Formation was placed on him, and pure spiritual liquid poured into Su Yuan's body.
Labor and Rest Combination had already begun. In this short period, the accumulated Cultivation time was simply not enough. Su Yuan took advantage of this brief time to sort out all the key points for Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, ensuring that the Breakthrough would not be affected.
Soon after, he exited his Cultivation state and relied on his current abilities to Breakthrough.
Massive amounts of mana surged into his Sea of Consciousness.
Su Yuan's Soul gradually transformed into a Nascent Soul!
This Breakthrough, one might say, was beyond Su Yuan's own expectations, but his accumulation was too profound. Moreover, he only needed to observe the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique to have a flash of insight and sort out the subsequent advanced principles. As such, the Breakthrough became logical and natural.
Finally, in just one hour, his Nascent Soul was completely condensed and formed.
Faintly, he also felt a trace of pre-warning from Heaven and Earth.
That was a Heavenly Tribulation pre-warning.
Su Yuan had even deduced the reason for the Heavenly Tribulation's appearance: it was precisely because the flesh-and-blood life form was transforming into an energy life form, which was a matter of breaking the rules of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, it needed to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation test.
However, subsequent Spirit Transformation Realm and Void Refining Realm would not have Heavenly Tribulation.
And the later Undergoing Tribulation Realm was due to the transformation of flesh-and-blood life into Law life, once again breaking the rules of Heaven and Earth, thereby triggering the second Heavenly Tribulation test.
From this, it can even be inferred that the transformation of beasts into human form follows the same principle. It is also a change in the nature of life, transforming from a non-Dao Body life into a Dao Body life (in this book, the human form is considered the Dao Body), thereby attracting Heavenly Tribulation!
At this moment, Su Yuan's understanding of Heaven and Earth became much clearer, and his understanding of the Cultivation system reached a higher level.
Understanding Cultivation from the perspective of Heaven and Earth, this is a chain reaction naturally triggered when life breaks certain rules. It is not that Heaven and Earth have any "jealousy" or intention to destroy the Human Race.
He could even deduce methods to shield against Heavenly Tribulation and postpone its arrival.
However, the transformation of flesh-and-blood life into energy life would not cause much damage to the rules, so the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was predictable, certainly not high.
Therefore, Su Yuan did not think about avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation.
Instead, he directly left the six-tier Immortal Cave Spirit Treasure and came to the sky above his Immortal Cave.
Heaven and Earth sensed it, and tribulation clouds began to gather.
Su Yuan looked at the sky, Dao Follows Nature shone brightly, and the process of Heavenly Tribulation Formation gradually revealed a different splendor in his eyes.
That was Heaven and Earth's responsive test to life forms that broke the rules. It was probably not controlled by the so-called Heavenly Dao, but rather a natural process of Law operation. Since it was the natural operation of Heaven and Earth's Law, then there was a possibility of comprehending and controlling it!
Su Yuan's hunting instinct was aroused, and he couldn't help but begin to comprehend, but soon he showed a wry smile. Without the Labor and Rest Combination entry's effect bonus, trying to comprehend the Law operation of Heavenly Tribulation out of thin air was simply a joke; it was too profound. He estimated that even an Immortal might not be able to comprehend it.
Meanwhile, the tribulation clouds above his Immortal Cave immediately drew the attention of most of the Seven Stars Sect Elders.
Gu Qingzhu hurried back to Immortal Cave Number Six on Seven Stars Peak (formerly Three Absolutes Peak). Looking at Su Yuan above the Immortal Cave and the tribulation clouds in the sky, her mouth gradually opened, and her eyes widened!
"This is a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation! Su Yuan, he Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?"
In the Scripture Pavilion, Immortal Elder Nangong's Divine Sense swept over, and he was also stunned.
He had just watched Su Yuan go up to the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, and how, in the blink of an eye, Su Yuan was starting to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?
No matter how Heaven-Defying, there should be a process, right?
When others go into seclusion to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, which one isn't measured in years?
How many hours had passed? One or two?
Immortal Elder Nangong put down the scripture in his hand and, like the other Elders, flew to the vicinity of Immortal Cave Number Six, both to act as Su Yuan's Protector and to observe his Breakthrough.
Gu Qingzhu asked Immortal Elder Nangong, "Elder Nangong, how many layers of Heavenly Tribulation do you think Su Yuan's will be?"
Immortal Elder Nangong replied, "Nascent Soul Undergoing Tribulation is usually a one-nine Heavenly Tribulation, and it's an incomplete one-nine Heavenly Tribulation. It usually ends with just a few bolts of lightning. The one I underwent back then wasn't a complete one-nine Heavenly Tribulation either, only six bolts of Heavenly Lightning, and even then, I barely survived."
He paused and said, "With Su Yuan's terrifying talent, the one-nine Heavenly Tribulation should be full, and might even increase to a two-nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
"A two-nine Heavenly Tribulation? Wouldn't that power be equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Realm? Impossible, right?" Gu Qingzhu exclaimed.
Another Spirit Transformation Elder beside them, Yang Pingzhi, said, "This is certain. It must be at least a two-nine Heavenly Tribulation, but it's probably also an incomplete two-nine Heavenly Tribulation. Adding the nine bolts of the one-nine, there will likely be twelve bolts of Heavenly Tribulation! Its power would be comparable to the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation!"
"That's too terrifying! Can Su Yuan get through it?" Gu Qingzhu asked worriedly.
"He should be able to!" Immortal Elder Nangong was also somewhat unsure.
The other Elders shared the same feelings, both anticipation and worry.
At this moment, Su Yuan made hand Seals, deducing the criteria for judging the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the benefits that could be gained from passing each level of the Heavenly Tribulation's power.
