Chapter 465

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

He Pingsheng, as if putting on an exhibition, took the Nascent Soul infants out of his ring one by one and placed them in the void.

He had killed one in the Ruokai, Long Yuan, Wuchen, and Tianji Juedi, and now there were four more.

That made eight in total!

Looking at these eight Nascent Soul infants, Su Zhenzhen, who was beside him, went completely stiff.

Eight of them.

Eight Nascent Soul powerhouses had already been slaughtered by this guy?

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

He Pingsheng, however, had a smile on his face.

After strengthening, there would be sixteen Nascent Soul infants.

Actually, it was more than sixteen; previously, he had bought one from that female immortal Dantai and strengthened it into two, so theoretically, after strengthening, there would be eighteen.

"Collect..."

With a wave of his hand, he collected them.

He then went to check the spatial rings.

In these four spatial rings, the most abundant items were spirit stones.

Apart from spirit stones, there were cultivation techniques, elixirs, materials, magic treasures, spirit pets, and so on.

He Pingsheng even found a fourth-tier elixir in one of the rings that could repair spiritual sense damage, named 【Spirit Refining Pill】.

"Damn it..." He Pingsheng cursed angrily: You don't need this thing now, and you're giving it to me?

I'm impressed!

Of course, not needing it now doesn't mean he won't need it later.

It can still be used after strengthening.

"Let's go... this way..." He Pingsheng deployed the Eight Treasure Boat and took Su Zhenzhen away from the spot; he held the map and pointed toward a desert.

In the desert, there were neither spirit plants nor many spirit beasts.

Such a place was the best for undergoing the tribulation.

"It's truly strange..." He Pingsheng stood on the Eight Treasure Boat, his gaze sweeping across the four directions, his Heavenly Eye opened, and a wisp of golden light swirled in his eyes.

According to reason, his Heavenly Eye could see the fortune of a commandery's territory.

Yet, he couldn't see through this Mystic Realm at all.

There were countless cultivators in the Tianji Juedi, so why couldn't he see even a shred of fortune?

Everyone should have at least a trace of fortune, more or less.

He couldn't see it at all?

Could it be that this Juedi could block the manifestation of a person's fortune?

He Pingsheng looked puzzled: That's the only explanation!

Two days later, the two arrived at that seemingly boundless desert.

He Pingsheng landed casually on a hilltop, his spiritual sense booming outward.

For tens of thousands of feet around, both underground and above ground, there were almost no living beings.

When undergoing the tribulation, the biggest taboo is having other living beings nearby, because when the heavenly tribulation is drawn down, it will annihilate all living beings in the vicinity.

Even the smallest life, once killed, will stain the person undergoing the tribulation with karma.

"Just stay far away from me!" He Pingsheng sat cross-legged on the bare mountain top, looking at Su Zhenzhen: "Just guard me from ten thousand feet away!"

After Su Zhenzhen left, He Pingsheng took out an elixir: the Breaking Transformation Pill.

Then, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Bang...

A few breaths after swallowing the elixir, Xu Changan suddenly heard a crisp sound.

Then crack, crack, crack...

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—all five Golden Cores shattered.

The magic power within his body, however, circulated along his meridians according to the 【Five Elements Mixing Heaven Scripture】.

In the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, five Nascent Souls condensed and emerged.

They belonged to the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Rumble...

The moment the Nascent Souls condensed, in the desert that had been cloudless for ten thousand miles, a dark cloud inexplicably piled up in the void.

The dark clouds were like ink, gradually condensing.

In the time of a few breaths, they condensed into inverted black mountain ranges, which were constantly moving and colliding.

Rumble...

Between the black clouds, silver lightning like thunder snakes twisted and writhed incessantly, one after another, dense and thick, making one's heart tremble with fear.

Regarding the heavenly tribulation, He Pingsheng had certainly been prepared for a long time.

It was definitely the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

What wasn't certain was whether the first six waves would fall.

This was unknown.

Not long after, the first wave of tribulation lightning crashed down.

It transformed into nine bolts, each as thick as a thigh.

Seeing such thick tribulation lightning, He Pingsheng knew that the first six waves had been secretly diverted by the Heavenly Dao again, and he didn't know if they would eventually be diverted onto the Ninth Prince!

"Open..."

He Pingsheng shouted loudly.

Jin Gang Shield!

Earth Armor Technique!

Ancient Profound Cauldron!

Three defensive measures were directly deployed by him.

And each defense was transformed from the Five Elements Mixing Force.

Rumble...

Rumble...

The nine bolts of heavenly lightning directly broke through the defense of the Ancient Profound Cauldron.

Then came the Jin Gang Shield and the Earth Armor Technique!

They were torn apart layer by layer.

Finally, the 【Seven-Buckle Sharp Metal Armor】 on his body withstood everything.

He Pingsheng was not injured under this seventh wave of tribulation lightning.

That was good.

"Open..." The next moment, without waiting for the eighth wave of tribulation lightning to fall, He Pingsheng immediately deployed that blood-red turtle shell.

He supported it with the power of his blood and Qi.

A cyan divine turtle phantom emerged, shrouding He Pingsheng's body.

This divine turtle phantom was only ten feet in size.

Don't let its size fool you; it was filled with thick power, and mysterious runes flowed upon it.

Rumble...

The eighth wave of tribulation lightning fell and was completely blocked by this divine turtle phantom.

Moreover, the energy on this divine turtle phantom was only consumed by fifty percent.

"Come again..."

He Pingsheng shouted loudly, and the magic power in his body surged into the divine turtle phantom with a rumble once more.

The divine turtle phantom appeared even brighter.

The final wave of tribulation lightning finally surged in.

This time, the divine turtle phantom blocked it perfectly again.

The Nine-Nine Tribulation lightning had passed.

He Pingsheng sat on the mountain top, looking at the void above his head, waiting for the golden clouds to land.

Unfortunately, there were none!

Don't even think about the Jin Guang of Creation.

The black clouds above his head dissipated, and the sky became clear again.

Su Zhenzhen flew over from ten thousand feet away and said happily, "Congratulations, Brother, on successfully condensing the Nascent Soul!"

"Hmm..." He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I still need to stabilize my cultivation!"

He looked inward at himself.

The original Golden Cores were gone, replaced by Nascent Souls.

And not just one, but five Nascent Souls.

Golden, red, green, cyan, and earthy yellow.

They belonged to the five elements of metal, fire, wood, water, and earth.

After forming the Nascent Soul, the most intuitive feeling was that there was more magic power in his body.

The thickness of his current magic power was more than ten times stronger than before.

And one drop of Ice Plain Divine Dew was clearly no longer enough to replenish it.

But that's okay!

If one drop isn't enough, then ten drops.

Boom...

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense boomed outward, shrouding the surroundings.

One hundred thousand feet!

It was exactly the same as the first layer of the Soul Transformation Stage.

"Collect..." He Pingsheng's spiritual sense was retracted.

Then, it condensed into a spiritual sense divine nail, which boomed out again and cruised into the void.

When a cultivator reaches the Soul Transformation realm, one of the most important characteristics is that spiritual sense transforms from intangible to tangible.

Soul Transformation, Soul Transformation—this is what it refers to.

He Pingsheng's current spiritual sense strength was roughly equivalent to the first layer of Soul Transformation, and he thought his spiritual sense could also transform from intangible to tangible.

However, it didn't!

It was still intangible.

"Still too weak!" He Pingsheng took a deep breath: "Although the coverage area of the spiritual sense is equivalent to the first layer of Soul Transformation, the strength might still be inferior!"

But that doesn't matter.

Later, as long as he practices the Nascent Soul chapter of the 【Xuan Sect Meditation True Art】, once he reaches the first layer of the Nascent Soul chapter, he will probably be able to transform it into a tangible form.

Two days later, He Pingsheng's cultivation was completely stabilized.

He stood up from the ground.

"Congratulations, Brother!" Su Zhenzhen asked, "What are Brother's plans next?"
