Chapter 303: Preparations Before the Nascent Soul Stage

"Retreat!"

The moment the power of the Magic Treasure on Ji Zhangkong's body turned violent.

Xing Li's heart skipped a beat, and she flew toward the outside of the Purple Haze Star Array without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong's expressions tightened, and they followed closely behind Xing Li, flying toward the outside of the Formation.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, and the armor on Ji Zhangkong's body exploded instantly.

The terrifying power of the explosion spread to the surroundings at an astonishing speed.

Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li had just rushed to the edge of the Formation when the power of the explosion behind them caught up.

The immense force sent the three of them flying away directly.

Fortunately, Xing Li reacted quickly enough, communicating with the Formation with her intent in time to make the light screen in front of them turn ethereal for a split second, allowing the three of them to pass directly through the Formation and fly to the outside world.

The moment the three flew out, the Formation's light screen immediately solidified again.

The power of the explosion behind was intercepted by the Formation.

Pfft~

After leaving the Formation, the three flew for over a hundred zhang before they could barely neutralize the force on their bodies.

Immediately, they all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in unison.

"It's fortunate that the Formation blocked the subsequent power of the explosion; otherwise, if we had been caught in that violent force, we would have been dead or at least crippled."

Su Yutong said with lingering fear.

Boom~

Just as her voice fell, the Purple Haze Star Array suddenly shattered.

Facing that powerful explosive force, the Purple Haze Star Array was ultimately unable to withstand it.

The powerful force rushed out of the Formation and spread to the surroundings.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, the three retreated toward the rear without hesitation.

Once the storm subsided.

The three flashed and returned to their original spot.

They discovered that Ji Zhangkong had long since vanished.

As for the Nascent Souls of Ji Zhangkong's five companions, they had long since collapsed in the sweep of the explosion's power.

Feeling the Nascent Soul essence continuously dissipating between heaven and earth, Su Yutong's expression showed a trace of regret.

"Nascent Souls are good things."

"I had originally planned to catch them and take them back as a gift for Uncle Wang."

"What a pity..."

Wang Yu Yao and Xing Li had the same thought.

It was just a pity that human plans are no match for heaven's.

Ji Zhangkong was unexpectedly so decisive; after sensing that the situation was not right, he had detonated that powerful Magic Treasure without hesitation.

A moment later.

Wang Yu Yao smiled, "Forget it, we can just kill a few more Nascent Soul Stage cultivators when there's an opportunity later."

"That's true." Su Yutong nodded.

As the Third Round Assessment continued, more and more cultivators were breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was indeed not difficult to obtain some Nascent Souls.

Xing Li remained silent.

Although Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong were not as demonic as Mu Lingxi.

Their occasional remarks still exposed their true nature as demonesses.

However, she was already used to this.

"Bastard!"

"Those three sluts, just you wait~~ you all just wait for me, Ji."

"Even if I have to exhaust everything, I, Ji, will definitely avenge today's grudge!"

In the sky, Ji Zhangkong was flying at high speed.

His hair was disheveled, his body was covered in bloodstains, and he looked incredibly wretched.

Although the power of the Magic Treasure's explosion was controlled by him.

But when it collided with the Purple Haze Star Array, a momentary loss of control was unavoidable, causing him to suffer the backlash of the explosive power.

At this moment, he was already severely injured.

The last time he was this wretched was when he encountered Nangong Yu.

And that time, it was also because of Wang Jianqiang!

At the mere thought of Wang Jianqiang, his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Wang Jianqiang..."

"It's all because of you!"

"You just wait for me, I don't believe you won't show yourself once I take down those three sluts!"

Carrying his overflowing hatred, Ji Zhangkong continued to fly forward.

He prepared to return to Desolate City to heal his wounds first, and would think of a way to deal with Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li once his injuries had fully recovered.

Desolate City.

Micro World.

In the Cultivation Room.

Wang Jianqiang sat cross-legged, the power of a Soul Jade in his hand exhausted, and it shattered.

He opened his eyes, and a flash of brilliance flickered in his pupils and vanished.

"Has the carrying limit of Soul Power finally reached a point where it can no longer be expanded?"

The difficulty of expanding the soul limit was far greater than he had imagined.

Nowadays.

His Soul Power limit had already reached thirty times.

Compared to the initial limit state, it had only expanded by three times.

Yet, this small three-fold increase had cost him over six years of time.

This was still under the condition of having sufficient Golden Core Grade Soul Jade support.

Otherwise, this time would have been extended by several times more.

"Now that my Soul Power can no longer be advanced, it is time to form the Nascent Soul."

Wang Jianqiang let out a long breath, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Once a Nascent Soul is achieved, a Cultivator will completely transcend their mortal flesh; from then on, the physical body will no longer be a shackle or a vital weakness.

As long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, one can be immortal.

Besides this, one's lifespan will also surge to one thousand years.

In the eyes of ordinary Cultivators.

A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator is already a god-like figure, a powerhouse belonging to legends, and an existence capable of establishing a sect and becoming an ancestor.

And he, too, was about to step into this stage.

But before that...

He needed to elevate himself to the limit to prepare for crossing the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Since ancient times, those with Five Elements Spiritual Root rarely achieved Golden Core.

There is not even the slightest record of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Looking at it now, although the consumption for Five Elements Spiritual Root is high, if those powerful factions in history had cultivated them regardless of the cost, it should not have been impossible to form a Nascent Soul.

The only possibility is...

The obstacle of the Nascent Soul Tribulation!

The Nascent Soul Tribulation for a Five Elements Spiritual Root Cultivator is very likely strong to a point of despair.

So desperate that from ancient times until now, not a single Five Elements Spiritual Root Cultivator has been able to cross this threshold!

With his current physical strength, he could already contend with an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator.

Normally speaking, crossing the Nascent Soul Tribulation should be extremely easy.

But considering the uniqueness of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

To be safe.

He still had to continue improving!

Thinking of this, he looked inward at his Attribute Panel, his attention falling upon the Attribute Panel.

After several years of accumulation, his number of Cultivation Points had already broken through the forty-thousand mark.

Such a massive number of Cultivation Points naturally was not obtained by relying on Alchemy.

He was now a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, and only by refining Fourth-tier Pills could he obtain Cultivation Points.

Not to mention that the higher the grade of the pill, the longer it takes to refine; it is difficult to accumulate such a massive number of Cultivation Points in such a short time by relying on Alchemy.

Just the cost of Medicinal Herbs alone was an astronomical figure, which he simply could not afford.

The reason he was able to accumulate so many Cultivation Points was entirely due to the Artifact Dao.

Ever since entering the Assessment Secret Realm, he had not improved his Artifact Dao.

His current Artifact Dao level was still only Second Tier High Grade.

This level of Spirit Mineral was very cheap because no one used it.

In order to prepare for crossing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, he specifically purchased a large amount of Second-tier Spirit Mineral.

In these six-plus years, he had not done much Alchemy.

Aside from cultivation, almost all his time was spent on artifact refining.

The speed of acquiring Cultivation Points was naturally shockingly fast.

"System, add all Cultivation Points to the Years Sacred Body."

Wang Jianqiang had a thought.

On the Attribute Panel, the number after the Cultivation Points instantly returned to zero.

At the same time.

In the technique column, in the description after the Years Sacred Body, the number of Spirit Patterns flashed and changed to 【number】 Dao.

"Ding, Years Sacred Body improved, current number of Spirit Patterns: 【number】 Dao."

Immediately after, his gaze fell on the Supernatural Ability Point column.

Since he was going to improve.

Then he would improve to the extreme.

Only in this way could he increase the probability of crossing the Heavenly Tribulation to the highest level.
