Chapter 270: Ascending to Nascent Soul Body Cultivator, Heart of the Dragon and Elephant
More than ten days later.
A flying boat flew over from Wuji Island, carrying three Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators: Kongqing Old Ancestor, Yunhua Old Ancestor, and Shangguan Laozu. They had received orders from the Wuji Alliance to come and discuss with Lin Yazhu the matter of joining the Wuji Alliance.
Not long after, under the guidance of the disciples of the Three Sects, the group arrived at the main hall of Xianxia Peak.
The very first thing they sensed was the extremely dense Spirit Qi of heaven and earth throughout the entire Xianxia Peak.
The concentration of Spirit Qi here was not in the slightest inferior to that of Wuji Island.
"This place actually possesses a fourth-tier Spirit Vein."
"And it is not an ordinary fourth-tier Spirit Vein, but a fourth-tier high-grade spiritual vein."
"No way, the luck of this Sect Master of the Qingmu Sect is simply too good. An island found at random actually contains a fourth-tier high-grade spiritual vein; it is simply heaven-defying."
"Heh, it is not just as simple as a fourth-tier Spirit Vein; it also controls a fourth-tier array. With this fourth-tier array, this Three-Star Island Group can be considered as stable as Mount Tai. No one dares to invade this sea area. This is a foundation for ten thousand generations."
Kongqing Old Ancestor, Yunhua Old Ancestor, and Shangguan Laozu, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, communicated via Divine Sense Transmission in secret. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, never expecting that a mere female cultivator from outside would occupy such a Cave Heaven.
One must know that even veteran Nascent Soul cultivators like them only occupied a single mountain peak on Wuji Island, and could only enjoy the cultivation effects brought by a fourth-tier high-grade spiritual vein.
To exclusively occupy a fourth-tier high-grade spiritual vein was basically an impossible thing.
They did not have such fortuitous encounters or abilities either.
But now, Lin Yazhu had achieved what they dreamed of.
One can imagine their jealous emotions at this moment.
Of course, they were also old and cunning, so naturally, they would not reveal such expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Kongqing, Fellow Daoist Yunhua, Fellow Daoist Shangguan."
"The three of you coming to my Three-Star Island Group truly makes our sea area shine with splendor."
At this moment, Lin Yazhu also walked out, followed by Zhou Sui.
As for the other Dao companions, it was naturally inappropriate for them to appear in such a scene, nor was there any need for them to appear.
Looking at the three Nascent Soul Ancestors, she felt deeply moved inside.
Decades ago, if she had encountered these three Nascent Soul Ancestors, she would likely have been terrified and could only address them as seniors.
But now, almost in the blink of an eye, she was on equal footing with these old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years.
One can only say that times change, and the world changes too quickly.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lin for ascending to the Nascent Soul stage."
"It is said that Fellow Daoist Lin is only three hundred years old; you are truly young and promising."
"Perhaps in the future, there will be an opportunity to ascend to the Transformation God stage and ascend to the immortal realm on the spot."
Kongqing Old Ancestor complimented.
His attitude was very humble; after all, as an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, he would naturally not easily offend other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same rank. It is better to avoid trouble than to invite it.
Having one more friend means one less enemy; why make enemies everywhere?
That is merely the behavior of a hot-headed youth.
"Fellow Daoist Kongqing is too kind."
"I don't even know when I might ascend to the Transformation God stage."
"The cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator is simply too difficult. I would be very satisfied if I could ascend to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."
Lin Yazhu sighed.
She felt more and more the difficulty of cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm; compared to the Golden Core Realm, it was simply not on the same level.
If there were no fourth-tier Treasure Pills to assist, even if she cultivated bitterly for decades, the Nascent Soul Dharma Power in her body would not increase by much.
It is no wonder that Nascent Soul old monsters often go into seclusion for decades or even a hundred years; this is also a matter of necessity.
"Since that is the case, is Fellow Daoist Lin interested in traveling with us?"
"To explore the Transformation God Relic that has appeared this time."
"It is rumored that this is the relic of the ancient Kurong Sect. It might contain a large number of fourth-tier Treasure Pills, Millennium Spirit Herbs, ten-thousand-year spirit herbs, and so on. As long as we can obtain some, it would be enough for our hundreds of years of bitter cultivation."
Yunhua Old Ancestor spoke up to invite her, wanting to invite Lin Yazhu to participate in this expedition to the Kurong Sect relic.
To tell the truth, the reason he wanted to invite Lin Yazhu was also because he saw that Lin Yazhu's cultivation had just ascended to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Compared to veteran Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators like them, it was unknown how far behind she was.
As for her having previously killed Feilian Laozu and Huoyun Laozu, it was merely by relying on the power of the fourth-tier array.
Once she left this sea area, she would immediately revert to her original form.
Therefore, he was not worried that the other party would steal the limelight.
"Explore the Transformation God Relic?"
"But now that our Wuji Alliance is facing the threat of the Sea Clan cultivators, if we do not resolve the Sea Clan cultivators, how can we explore this Transformation God Relic with peace of mind?"
Lin Yazhu asked.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, you can rest assured about this."
"This time, Xuanbao Pavilion, Tianjian Sect, Piaomiao Palace, Sunset Sect, and even the Heavenly Demon Sect and other Nascent Soul sects have joined forces to help our Wuji Alliance deal with the Sea Clan cultivators together."
"Previously, this group of Sea Clan cultivators was arrogant and domineering, running rampant, merely taking advantage of the internal conflicts within our Human Race."
"Now that the Transformation God Relic exists, the various Nascent Soul forces of humanity have begun to unite."
"The mere Sea Clan is not worth mentioning at all and will soon be resolved by us."
Shangguan Laozu said proudly.
He was not looking down on that group of Sea Clan cultivators, because this was a fact.
The Sea Clan had been in decline for at least tens of thousands of years.
During this period, the Human Race had been in a peak period, with Nascent Soul cultivators constantly being born and obtaining a large amount of resources.
Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Sea Clan could not possibly compare to the Human Race.
They can even only hide in the Deep Sea, relying on the geographical advantages of the Deep Sea to barely survive.
If it weren't for the various Nascent Soul forces of the Human Race each harboring their own ulterior motives, they would likely have completely wiped out the Sea Clan long ago.
How would it ever be their turn to be so rampant?
In fact, the Human Race and the Sea Clan are somewhat similar to the central dynasties and the grassland peoples during Zhou Sui's past life; when the central dynasty was strong and prosperous, the grassland peoples would shrink back and hide deep within the grasslands.
Relying on the vast and boundless grasslands to avoid the pursuit and slaughter of the central army.
But once the central dynasty had been at peace for hundreds of years and various regions had long been tranquil, the army would become corrupt, and those grassland soldiers would gradually recover their vitality and begin to burn, kill, and loot again, invading the frontiers.
Just like this, it would repeat over and over, an endless Samsara.
Now, it is the same principle.
The Sea Clan, relying on the fact that they have birthed a few Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators and thinking their strength has greatly increased, wants to burn, kill, loot, and seize territory.
Little do they know that the foundation of the Human Race is not something the Sea Clan can imagine.
"If that's the case, the disaster of the Sea Clan will soon be quelled."
Lin Yazhu's heart stirred.
If it really is like this, then this might not be a bad thing; at the very least, the Three-Star Island Group will also become completely safe.
Of course, having lost the refugees from the northern sea area.
Perhaps the growth speed of Xianxia City will slow down.
But compared to safety, this counts for nothing.
"Thank you three fellow Daoists for the information. I wonder if we also need to participate in this battle?"
Lin Yazhu asked curiously.
Because she has now revealed her cultivation information, she will naturally enter the eyes of the many Nascent Souls of the Wuji Alliance, and she might even be forced to participate in this operation to exterminate the Sea Clan cultivators.
To tell the truth, because she has been influenced by Zhou Sui many times, she also does not want to participate in such a dangerous operation.
Even if there were great benefits to be gained, she would not want to get involved.
After all, who knows if some accident might occur?
If one is not careful, one might fall on the battlefield, which is simply not worth the loss.
After all, she has only just advanced to Nascent Soul.
"As for that, of course there is no need."
"In fact, what truly determines the outcome of this war is not us Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators."
"It is those Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivators."
"A single Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator can be compared to more than a dozen Nascent Soul Middle Stage ones; their strength is unfathomably stronger."
"We are at most just cheering from the sidelines."
Kongqing Old Ancestor shook his head.
"So that's how it is."
Hearing this, Lin Yazhu immediately felt relieved.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think of our proposal from just now?"
"Calculating the time, it won't take too long to resolve the threat of the Sea Clan."
"At that time, we will collectively explore this Transformation God Relic."
"If one were to go alone, I'm afraid one might not necessarily gain much benefit in that Transformation God Relic."
Yunhua Old Ancestor looked at Lin Yazhu.
"My apologies, three fellow Daoists."
"I naturally also want to explore that Transformation God Relic."
"But unfortunately, I have self-awareness; I have only just advanced to Nascent Soul."
"That is absolutely no match for those veteran Nascent Souls."
"So I do not intend to participate in this exploration of the Transformation God Relic, and I can only let down everyone's good intentions."
Lin Yazhu shook her head and flatly refused.
She has great self-awareness; her combat power is at best equivalent to a decent level for a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator.
Compared to those Nascent Soul Middle Stage, or even Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, she is far behind.
If she really entered that Transformation God Relic, she wouldn't even know if she would have her life to return alive.
For her, it is better to cultivate step by step.
There is no need to enter the Transformation God Relic to take risks.
"This!"
Hearing this, Kongqing Old Ancestor, Yunhua Old Ancestor, and Shangguan Laozu were all stunned; they hadn't expected Lin Yazhu to refuse so cleanly and decisively.
However, they had already anticipated this in their hearts, so they didn't feel too surprised.
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Lin does not want to enter the Transformation God Relic, then we will not force you."
"If Fellow Daoist Lin changes her mind in the future, you can also contact us."
Yunhua Old Ancestor smiled slightly.
"That goes without saying."
Lin Yazhu nodded, doing the necessary surface pleasantries.
An hour later, the group had eaten and drunk their fill, and they bid each other farewell.
Before leaving, Kongqing Old Ancestor and the others also left behind the tokens of the Wuji Alliance Nascent Soul Ancestors, as well as an appointment letter from the Wuji Alliance.
With this appointment letter, the Three-Star Island Group now completely belongs to Lin Yazhu.
There is no longer any need to pay any management fees to the Wuji Alliance.
It can be said that this sea area is Lin Yazhu's independent kingdom, and no one is allowed to interfere.
In fact, these are also the various powers and benefits of a Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Wuji Alliance.
After advancing to Nascent Soul, one is like a king, a true superior.
There is a vast amount of power, yet very few obligations.
After all, the reason the Wuji Alliance is so powerful is because there are many Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Every Nascent Soul Cultivator is a king.
The Wuji Alliance is equivalent to an alliance formed by various kings, with each king possessing absolute power and freedom.
Even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator does not agree with a decision of the alliance, they can choose not to execute it.
As for the Alliance Leader, it is naturally held by the strongest Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Now, Lin Yazhu has also become a superior in this sea area, like a chess player, capable of controlling the pieces.
Both her power and status have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The change in the Wuji Alliance's attitude is the best example.
Whoosh!
A Flying Boat quickly left the Three-Star Island Group and flew toward the Transformation God Relic.
Clearly, Kongqing Old Ancestor, Yunhua Old Ancestor, and Shangguan Laozu only came here while on their way.
The place they truly wanted to go to was still that Transformation God Relic.
Since they had finished the matters issued by the Wuji Alliance, they naturally left quickly without staying.
"Husband, what do you think?"
Lin Yazhu looked at Zhou Sui, wanting to ask for her husband's opinion.
"These matters don't have much to do with us."
"For us, cultivation is the most important thing."
"There are so many Nascent Soul Cultivators eyeing that Transformation God Relic right now."
"If we were to get involved, we would definitely invite huge trouble."
"Even if we were lucky enough to actually obtain some Treasure inside the Transformation God Relic, the trouble would be even greater."
Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.
He naturally would not be foolish enough to get involved in such matters.
In fact, he had long ago secretly dispatched his clone to send the Array Heart Gu into that Transformation God Relic.
However, it was not something that could be done in a short time for the Array Heart Gu to completely invade the Array Formation of the Transformation God Relic.
Because he had previously underestimated the difficulty of this Five-Tier Array.
This was not as simple as an ordinary Five-Tier Array, but a Five-Tier Superior Array.
The difficulty of the Array Formation within it could be called the pinnacle of the Human World.
Even the Array Grandmaster of the Human World in the Ancient Era could not master such a Five-Tier Array.
Therefore, to completely assimilate this Array Formation would certainly require a vast amount of time.
Thus, he was not in the slightest bit anxious.
Anyway, according to the power of the Five-Tier Array, those Nascent Soul Cultivators would also be unable to break it in a short time.
"Mm, I think so too."
"Exploring the Transformation God Relic is still too dangerous."
"Relying on the resources we have obtained now is enough for my cultivation to improve rapidly."
"There is absolutely no need to rush for the moment."
Lin Yazhu also nodded, agreeing with this point.
"Since that's the case, why don't we go and cultivate diligently for a while?"
"After all, I have only just advanced to the Golden Core Late Stage not long ago."
"I also hope that you, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, can give me some pointers."
Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, looking at Lin Yazhu's graceful figure.
Ever since she advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, her body had been baptized by Creation Qi, making her physical quality go a step further, her physique becoming more perfect, and her skin as smooth as satin, which was mouth-watering.
It could be said that the current Lin Yazhu was as ripe as fruit, making one unable to resist taking a bite.
"Pah, lecher."
Lin Yazhu's pretty face flushed red; she felt her body tremble slightly, her charming eyes like silk.
She turned around and walked toward the bedroom, swaying her graceful figure.
Not long after, Zhou Sui and Lin Yazhu fell into the process of diligent cultivation, increasing each other's cultivation.
…………
Five years later.
Three-Star Island Group, Xianxia Sect, Xianxia Peak.
At this moment, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, and the Dragon Elephant Gu within his body infused strands of mysterious blood energy.
Having advanced to the Third-Tier High-Grade, the blood energy increased by the Dragon Elephant Gu every month was even more powerful.
It could be said that this also made his body more powerful month by month.
The effect was even better than any Body Refining Technique.
When the last strand of mysterious blood energy was infused into Zhou Sui's body, his body had already accumulated for many years, reaching a state where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
This was like the last drop of water that breaks a dam.
Boom~~
In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed his body undergoing a heaven-defying transformation, and he immediately knew he had begun his third bodily evolution.
This evolution was more than ten times more powerful than the previous two.
Because this time, it was his heart that was evolving.
He perceived countless mysterious blood energies surging into his heart, causing his heart to undergo an inconceivable metamorphosis, with the blood and Qi within becoming increasingly dense.
At the same time, it released incomparable heat, as if it were a small sun.
With his body as the center, the temperature in a radius of several hundred meters rose sharply, reaching at least several hundred, or even several thousand degrees.
The ground was scorched by this heat, and even melted into a state of magma.
The entire quiet room now seemed to have turned into a furnace, burning red-hot.
"This is the Dragon Elephant Heart."
Suddenly, Zhou Sui's heart shook; he discovered countless mysterious Runes sinking into the depths of his heart, causing his heart to take on a dark golden color, with the faint phantom images of an ancient True Dragon and a primordial Dragon Elephant appearing within it.
Their powers all converged in the depths of the heart, perfectly merging into one.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
As the heart beat, it seemed to produce an incredibly terrifying sonic power.
With every beat, an invisible force expanded outward, erupting with terrifying vibrational might.
The walls of the entire quiet room actually developed cracks, emitting a crackling sound.
It was as if the heart of a True Dragon and a Dragon Elephant were beating, containing powerful and mighty strength.
If an ordinary Cultivator were to hear such a sound, their blood and Qi would surely be sent into turmoil, and they might even pass out directly.
At this very moment, the blood within his body also underwent a heaven-defying change.
Due to the change in his heart, a large amount of mysterious blood surged out from the heart, replacing his original mortal blood; in its place was Dragon Elephant Blood, appearing dark golden.
It seemed that every drop of dark golden blood contained terrifying heat.
If a single drop of blood were to fall, it would be like magma, enough to burn through or even melt the floor.
"The power in my body now is truly too strong."
Zhou Sui clenched his fist.
He felt that the muscles, bones, and internal organs of his body had undergone an astonishing metamorphosis and evolution, and the power in his body had increased geometrically.
At this moment, a phantom image of a Dragon Elephant seemed to appear behind him, as if a True Dragon and a primordial Dragon Elephant were circling; this terrifying power condensed into substance, distorting the surrounding Spirit Qi of heaven and earth and producing a substantial pressure.
It was as if the gravity within a radius of several thousand meters had been increased.
And this was only the result while he was exerting extreme control.
If he were to release it all, a radius of a thousand miles would be within the coverage of this power.
It seemed that now, if he were to throw a punch, he could easily collapse a large mountain, and the force of the punch alone could destroy an ordinary Dharma Treasure.
At this moment, his strength could no longer be described in kilograms.
If one had to describe it, his strength now exceeded one million horsepower.
That is to say, one punch from him was like the power erupted by a million horses simultaneously.
This was simply not something an ordinary Cultivator could imagine.
Nascent Soul Body Cultivator!
Without a doubt, this was already equivalent to a Nascent Soul level Body Cultivator.
The third bodily evolution had allowed him to evolve from a Golden Core Realm Body Cultivator to the realm of a Nascent Soul Body Cultivator.
One could imagine that the magnitude of this progress was simply inconceivable.
"My body defense has also been improved."
"Now, my body defense is probably comparable to a Lower Grade Defense Spirit Treasure."
"Wait, a Divine Elephant Barrier has appeared on my skin, and it is a double barrier."
Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling his robust physique; his skin seemed to flow with dark golden light, and more God-Elephant Runes appeared upon it.
Numerous God-Elephant Runes gathered together, forming a mysterious barrier that covered every corner of his body.
This was passive defense.
It seemed that at this moment, his skin had formed two layers of dark golden light.
Previously, as a Golden Core Realm Body Cultivator, there had only been one layer.
Now, two layers of Divine Elephant Barrier had been nurtured.
Clearly, after advancing to a Nascent Soul Body Cultivator, his skin defense power had also reached a higher level.
It was becoming closer and closer to the skin of a Dragon Elephant.
Such skin could not only easily withstand the attacks of blades and swords, being impervious to weapons,
but it could also withstand the attacks of techniques, minimizing the damage from techniques to the greatest extent.
Ordinary attacks landing on his skin would be blocked by the layers of Divine Elephant Barrier.
The appearance of the double-layered Divine Elephant Barrier was like wearing double-layered bulletproof armor.
Even if an enemy's attack penetrated the first layer of the barrier, it could not penetrate the second layer.
"Too strong."
"Now, even if I stand here without moving,"
"others won't be able to hurt me."
Zhou Sui's heart stirred; he took out a Superior Magic Treasure level Flying Sword from his body and lightly slashed at himself.
With a clanging sound, sparks flew everywhere; this sharp, peerless Flying Sword was actually unable to break through the skin barrier on his body, and it could not even break through the first layer of the barrier, being easily blocked.
Even if he applied force, he could not cut through.
It was tougher than one could imagine.
It was as if his own body were wearing a defensive Spirit Treasure.
"Is this the legendary defense of a Divine Beast?"
"No wonder not many people can break through the body defense of a Divine Beast; it is simply too monstrous."
Zhou Sui exclaimed in endless wonder.
It was no wonder that the legendary Divine Beasts did not wear any defensive Dharma Treasures; they could easily withstand various enemy attacks relying solely on their formidable physical bodies.
Unless it was a targeted Dharma Treasure, there was no hope of breaking through a Divine Beast's body defense.
Various attacks landing on a Divine Beast were like raindrops falling, unable to cause any damage at all.
Now, he had a similar feeling.
He was simply like a humanoid Divine Beast.
Relying on his powerful physique, he could completely run rampant in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Even the most powerful Body Refining Technique could not compare to his current God Elephant Body.
It could be said that he was now constantly evolving in the direction of an ancient mythological physique.
This had already surpassed the imagination of who knows how many Cultivators.
