Chapter 276: True Person Wangyue

Boom!

Crack!

Golden tribulation lightning pierced through the oppressive black clouds, roaring like a golden flood dragon, interwoven with countless arcs of electricity, and crashed down with a thunderous boom.

"It's finally here!"

Beneath the Yin-Yang Profound Vine tree, Qin Ming looked up at the sky, his gaze sharp.

Roar! Qin Ming ignited the full power of his blood and true qi; a phantom of a blood-colored eight-armed demonic ape emerged from his body, instantly swelling to a colossal height of fifty zhang.

The demonic ape roared toward the heavens, its eight arms bringing their five fingers together to form fists, meeting the tribulation lightning head-on.

Boom! In an instant, the terrifying golden tribulation lightning fiercely struck the blood-colored demonic ape.

Qin Ming immediately felt as if the sky itself had collapsed upon him, pressing down so heavily that he could barely breathe.

Suddenly, a layer of glazed luster appeared on his body, and countless blood-colored spirit runes manifested upon his skin.

Following the method from the "Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy," Qin Ming began to draw in the power of the tribulation lightning to temper his blood and qi.

As the eight arms of the blood-colored giant ape formed a peculiar hand seal.

The golden tribulation lightning in the firmament was actually endured by his physical body alone and entirely channeled into his interior.

Suddenly.

Ding! Through the tempering and compression of the tribulation lightning, the first wisp of blood crystal condensed from the golden tribulation lightning was born within Qin Ming's body, nearly identical to when he had previously condensed his Jin Dan.

The only difference was that now, magic power had been replaced by blood and qi.

Qin Ming withstood the first bolt of tribulation lightning and successfully guided the lightning into his body, refining ten percent of his blood and qi power.

Outside the Lingdao.

Everyone's line of sight was blocked by a pink mist illusion realm, so for a moment, they could not see clearly what was happening inside.

They only heard a bolt of golden thunder fall, emitting a earth-shattering, mountain-collapsing roar, after which everything returned to silence.

"Senior Nalan, has Fellow Daoist Qin successfully passed through the tribulation lightning?" Gu Qingzhao walked over and asked.

True Person Nalan Xi remained silent for a moment before replying, "This bolt of tribulation lightning should have been withstood."

"However, I have never seen tribulation lightning of such might in my entire life, so I am unclear how many more bolts will follow."

"Let us hope Fellow Daoist Qin can successfully pass through it."

Immediately after.

The second and third bolts of Lei Ting fell before everyone's astonished eyes.

Their power even increased with each successive bolt.

Beneath his innate spiritual plant tree, Qin Ming stood with an expression grave, continuously performing hand seals to use the tribulation lightning to temper his blood and qi.

After condensing a Jin Dan, a cultivator's magic power undergoes a qualitative change and cannot mature without being tempered by true fire.

By the same logic, to condense a physical body true pill, one must also forge it with divine thunder; the greater the power of the tribulation lightning, the more formidable the true pill becomes.

Boom-crack-crack! Wangyue Island was covered by a storm of rain and thunder, but fortunately, it was all guided by Qin Ming into his body, causing no damage to the spiritual plants on the island.

He endured all the way up to the eighth bolt of Lei Jie.

Within Qin Ming's body, a crimson mysterious pearl condensed, radiating a blood-colored glow.

Even more miraculous was the layer of golden Lei Ting swirling around it.

But just at this moment.

Suddenly! Wind and clouds surged in the sky; the tribulation clouds above churned and rotated like the eye of a storm.

At the center of the vortex, an even more terrifying Lei Jie was brewing.

"This is the final bolt of tribulation lightning!"

Qin Ming's gaze was like a torch; even with his True Extreme Body, he was now covered in blood.

However, the power within his body surged endlessly, like a true primordial behemoth on the verge of fully awakening.

The final step of condensing the blood and qi pill was also about to be completed.

Boom! From the center of the black vortex, a bolt of black tribulation lightning transformed into a straight black pillar of light and fell directly downward.

The aftermath it radiated was so intense that even the three Jin Dan Laozu watching from afar turned pale with fear.

The blood-colored eight-armed demonic ape transformed from Qin Ming roared toward the heavens, then also unleashed a strike using his innate divine ability.

He poured all of his blood and qi power without reservation into one of his right arms.

Crack! The moment the five fingers of the blood-colored demonic ape came together.

Countless black thunderbolts exploded around him.

On the giant fist, a dazzling light resembling a death star suddenly appeared.

"Divine Ability—Shatter the Stars!"

The blood-colored demonic ape leaped into the air, as if grasping the great sun, causing heaven and earth to dim in comparison at this moment.

Rumble-rumble-rumble! The black pillar of thunder and the demonic ape's divine ability collided squarely, exploding in mid-air into a blinding sphere of light.

A massive shockwave burst through the clouds.

As Qin Ming guided the power of the final bolt of tribulation lightning into his body.

The crimson mysterious pearl within him completely solidified, giving birth to a brand new power of the true pill!

"Physical Body True Pill! It's done!"

The aura of the physical body radiating from Qin Ming at this moment had far surpassed that of an ordinary third-rank Wang Zu.

With every gesture and movement, he revealed a power of destruction.

"A Physical Body True Pill that even the Wang Zu of demonic beasts do not possess has actually been refined by Master!" Shi Tian Shu, naturally able to sense what was happening on the Lingdao, spoke in a daze.

The Jin Dan Lei Jie ended, and the tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed.

Qin Ming felt the one red and one golden pill within his body, his heart overflowing with joy, and he couldn't help but let out a long whistle.

After nearly a hundred years of hardship, starting as a spirit farmer and diligently cultivating through farming, today Qin Ming had not only perfected his Jin Dan but also condensed a Flesh True Pill in one fell swoop.

Standing at the pinnacle of the Southern Wild Immortal Realm! Qin Ming withdrew his divine ability and landed back on the ground.

"After breaking through to the Jin Dan stage, my lifespan has increased by another five hundred years, reaching one thousand nine hundred and sixty years."

"From now on, with a long lifespan and formidable magic power, the vast Immortal Realm is mine to roam freely."

"Cough! But I still cannot be reckless."

"My current strength is no weaker than that of a mid-stage Jin Dan cultivator."

"As long as I don't encounter existences like Old Toad Ancestor or the Green-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon."

"Basically, there is nowhere under heaven I cannot go." "At the very least, among the four kingdoms of the Southern Wild Immortal Realm, the only one who makes me feel apprehensive is Elder Qingxuan of Qingxi Valley, a late-stage Jin Dan Yunxi Laozu."

"A flawless Jin Dan, plus a Flesh True Pill; I suppose this makes me the first person in a thousand years, doesn't it?"

After Qin Ming broke through to the Jin Dan stage, his state of mind also changed.

However, the original intention of steady farming and management that he had always upheld had never changed.

It would not change in the future either.

Qin Ming continued to sit cross-legged, regulating his breath to consolidate his cultivation.

Several days later, he finally opened his eyes, which were as black as ink.

Around Qin Ming lingered a sense of antiquity like an ancient verdant tree, brimming with greenery; his magic power had completely settled, reaching the realm of returning to simplicity and truth.

Subsequently.

He made a vague grasping motion with his five fingers, and in an instant, eighteen strands of green light floated above his palm.

"After breaking through to the Jin Dan stage, I can now deploy all eighteen of my innate treasure, the Wood Emperor Nails, at once."

"With magic power comparable to a mid-stage Jin Dan, invoking this treasure will not be as strenuous as before."

"However, the enhancement of the Wood Emperor Nails has only been completed for three; I must gather more Solar Essence Gold to refine and upgrade my innate treasure."

Whoosh! Three streams of light flew from outside the island and landed before Qin Ming; they were his three spirit pets.

Shi Tian Shu said with a grin: "Congratulations, Master, on perfecting your Jin Dan and cultivating the Flesh True Pill; your strength has greatly advanced."

The Profound Water Crocodile and Yin Yi Shuangfeng also shrank their bodies, rubbing vigorously against Qin Ming to express their inner joy.

Outside the Lingdao.

Watching the terrifying Jin Dan Lei Jie come to an end, the myriad cultivators felt fear, yet also rejoiced at having witnessed such a scene.

This was something they could boast about among friends and family for a very long time.

After all, not everyone is fortunate enough to witness an Yunxi Laozu condensing a Jin Dan.

"Did he succeed?"

"The tribulation clouds have all dispersed."

"I don't know, but the situation just now was too terrifying."

"I even suspect whether Moon Gazing Island still exists."

They had waited here for several days in succession, unwilling to leave, just to wait for a concrete result.

Otherwise, it would be too unbearable.

Just as the cultivators near Moon Gazing Lake were watching, the pink mist surrounding the Lingdao suddenly scattered.

Wei Wuya, True Person Canghai, and Wan Laozu received the message sent by Qin Ming and immediately flew toward the island.

Gu Qingzhao, Xu Jing, Lu Wanjun, and others also received Qin Ming's message.

But when they arrived on the island.

"A tier-three middle-grade spirit vein... this..."

Wei Wuya was fine; he had been here once before and was accustomed to the great changes on Moon Gazing Island.

But the others were different; each one was so shocked they were dumbfounded.

They were nearly blinded by the dazzling array of high-grade spirit plants covering the island.

"Fellow Daoists, please come inside."

As a hearty voice rang out.

A young man of ordinary appearance appeared before everyone, his entire being like an evergreen ancient tree, his temperament as calm as water.

Qin Ming smiled and greeted everyone.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, on attaining the Jin Dan!"

"Congratulations, True Person Qin."

"Greetings, True Person Qin."

Seeing the incredibly stable aura of Jin Dan magic power on Qin Ming, Nalan Xi confirmed without doubt that Qin Ming had broken through to the Jin Dan stage.

"True Person Qin, congratulations and well done."

"I, Wan, heard your story long ago, but unfortunately was entangled by worldly affairs and could not meet you."

"Grandmaster Gongsun of our valley speaks highly of you without end."

"I, Wan, have also long admired True Person Qin."

Wan Laozu of Qingxi Valley wore a smile as he offered his congratulations to Qin Ming.

Just now, upon probing, he found he could not see through Qin Ming's cultivation and magic power at all, making him even more astonished.

On Wei Wuya's stern face, a rare smile also squeezed out as he congratulated Qin Ming: "Congratulations, True Person Qin; from now on, our Wei Kingdom has a model of a loose cultivator successfully condensing a Jin Dan, truly a great prosperous age! Hehe!"

Gu Qingzhao, dressed in a green robe, looked at Qin Ming with complex eyes and also congratulated him: "Congratulations, True Person Qin, on attaining the Great Dao of the Jin Dan; your Immortal Dao has advanced another step."

She too had been thoroughly deceived by Qin Ming; who could have expected that Qin Ming would silently condense a Jin Dan?

Furthermore, he had caused Bai Bai to worry endlessly for him... From now on, the status between the two would truly be worlds apart.

"Congratulations, Island Lord, on the great success of your Jin Dan!"

Wu Jiang and Mu Ruyin, leading a group of Qi Refining cultivators, bowed respectfully.

The other cultivators surrounding them looked at the Wu family members, their eyes filled with extreme envy.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, now that you have become a Jin Dan cultivator, do you have a preferred Daoist title?" True Person Nalan Xi asked.

As a rogue cultivator who had formed his core, Qin Ming was the first of his kind in the State of Wei, and his name was destined to be remembered for ages.

A Daoist title is a designation within the Immortal Realm, related to a cultivator's aspirations and style of conduct.

Indeed, as time passes, people may even forget one's original name, yet still remember the Daoist title.

Hearing this, Qin Ming pondered seriously for a moment before speaking:

"Qin Mou was originally but a piece of duckweed; in the end, I have secured a place on Moon-Gazing Island, and it was here that I achieved my Jin Dan—it truly is my land of feng shui treasure."

"I have considered this before: if one day I could achieve the Jin Dan, I would take the name 'True Person Moon-Gazing'."
