Chapter 594: Second Senior Brother Defeated His Own Nascent Soul

"... It seems Tao Lao is indeed quite free."

Lu Yang silently put the technique back and continued to study other techniques.

There were many types of Nascent Soul stage techniques. Rather than calling them techniques, it was better to call them a collision of concepts.

For example, some predecessors advocated "putting oneself in a desperate situation to survive," believing that only by facing a desperate situation could one improve oneself and sublimate the Nascent Soul.

There were also predecessors who felt that cultivation should be gradual and not rushed.

Lu Yang was more inclined to the latter—having the Immortal Fairy in his mental space was already a desperate situation. If he faced another desperate situation, that would be a situation of ten deaths and no life; no matter how he sublimated, it would be useless.

"This technique is not bad, 'Nascent Soul Sword-Nurturing Art.' It feels very suitable for me. I can borrow it for reference. Practicing this technique uses the Nascent Soul as a sword sheath to nurture a Heart Sword. Once the Heart Sword is formed, it can make the Nascent Soul dance with the sword. Conservatively estimated, the Nascent Soul's combat power increases by thirty percent!"

The Nascent Soul was transformed from the Jin Dan and was an object controlled by the Primordial Spirit, not a physical entity. Therefore, it didn't have a handy weapon. If it had a weapon by its side, its combat power would naturally increase.

"This technique is useless to you," the Immortal Fairy reminded him.

"Why?"

"Because the Invincible Nascent Soul can dance with a sword. The purpose of practicing this technique has already been achieved."

"The Invincible Nascent Soul can perform sword techniques? Why haven't I seen it use them?" Lu Yang recalled the painful experience of fighting the Invincible Nascent Soul and didn't remember it ever using sword techniques.

"Because you didn't use sword techniques when you were fighting. Didn't I say? Whatever you know, the Invincible Nascent Soul knows, and it does it better than you."

"If you don't believe me, try it and you'll know."

Lu Yang was actually a bit curious. He entered his mental space, conjured a sword for himself, then cut off the connection with the Invincible Nascent Soul and fought a great battle with it.

A miracle appeared. Lu Yang fought more bravely as the battle went on, using various sword techniques as if they were natural, as if they were heaven-made. Clearly, he had made another breakthrough in the sword Dao, reaching a level that made sword Dao cultivators look up in despair. Even older generation cultivators would clap and praise it upon seeing it, and then he was defeated by the Invincible Nascent Soul.

"Cough, cough, why is this Invincible Nascent Soul so hard to beat? Fairy, how did you defeat it back then?" Lu Yang was pressed to the ground by the Invincible Nascent Soul and beaten; he really couldn't beat it.

The Immortal Fairy's eyes dodged, flickering: "Just, just try a few more times and you'll be able to defeat it."

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Fairy suspiciously: "Then how many times did you try?"

"I'm not good at math, I didn't remember!"

"..."

Lu Yang detached from his mental space and repeatedly comforted himself: the Invincible Nascent Soul being powerful is a good thing, the Invincible Nascent Soul being powerful is a good thing...

Lu Yang walked and looked, finally arriving at the "Miss Yun Zhi Area" he had been thinking about, and this first book made him extremely excited.

"This is Eldest Senior Sister's cultivation insights during the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Let's see how Eldest Senior Sister cultivates the Nascent Soul. The first step of cultivating the Nascent Soul: shatter the core to form the infant. The second step of cultivating the Nascent Soul: survive the heavenly tribulation... hmm?"

Why was it different from others at the second step?

"Speaking of which, it seems I've heard people say that Eldest Senior Sister encountered the heavenly tribulation when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Other cultivators only encounter it when breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage."

"Second Senior Brother Ye Zijin imitated Eldest Senior Sister's method and also encountered the heavenly tribulation at the Nascent Soul stage. Then the Nascent Soul was born with intelligence and gave its owner a beating."

Lu Yang felt that he and Second Senior Brother had quite a connection. Although the two had never met, they were already fellow disciples sharing the same fate.

"Tao Lao, how did Eldest Senior Sister manage to encounter the heavenly tribulation at the Nascent Soul stage back then?"

Lu Yang took the initiative to ask Tao Lao. Tao Lao should know the specific process.

"Oh, you're talking about this. At that time, Miss Yun Zhi mistakenly entered an ancient trial ground at the peak of the Jin Dan stage. She conducted trials in that field, fought against the phantom of the previous record holder, defeated the phantom of the record holder, and ranked at the top of the list."

"Who was the previous record holder?" Miss Jiang Lianyi was curious. If it was an ancient figure, she should have heard of it.

"The Immortal Ying Tian?"

Lu Yang: "..."

So it turned out that the Immortal Ying Tian was just anxious because he lost and struck Eldest Senior Sister with lightning.

The Immortal Fairy nodded: "That sounds like something the Immortal Ying Tian would do. He often cheated when playing Go back then."

"Then you let him cheat when he cheated?"

"We let him, why wouldn't we? Playing chess is about fairness. If he cheats, he cheats. If he cheats, we beat him. After beating him, we also regret it, saying we shouldn't have beaten him, and just pretend we didn't beat him just now."

"..."

"I have an impression of the ancient trial ground that Miss Yun Zhi went to. It was a place that existed before the ancient era. The Immortal Ying Tian went there when he was in the Jin Dan stage, broke the record, and became the number one at that time, causing a sensation."

"I was far away at the time and didn't make it. By the time I went again, I was already in the Nascent Soul stage."

"It's estimated that he left a spell in the trial ground after becoming an immortal. If someone could break his record, they would be struck by lightning or something."

"It's not really revenge, not entirely revenge. At the very least, after being struck, the Nascent Soul can indeed become powerful."

Lu Yang continued to ask: "Then what about Second Senior Brother? Did Second Senior Brother also enter the ancient trial ground and break the record?"

It seemed Second Senior Brother was even more powerful than he had imagined.

"You mean Little Ye? He had the heart to go, but it wasn't allowed. After Miss Yun Zhi left the ancient trial ground, the ancient trial ground closed and could never be opened again. To this day, no reason has been found."

Miss Jiang Lianyi probably guessed the reason. The Immortal Ying Tian was a person of principle: "It's probably because he was afraid that someone would surpass him in the record again. The Immortal Ying Tian's principle is that you can't lose face twice."

"... He's quite principled." Lu Yang was speechless.

"Then where did Second Senior Brother's Lei Jie come from?"

"He scolded the Immortal Ying Tian for a whole day."

Lu Yang gasped. He was worthy of being Second Senior Brother; his courage was truly great.

Even with the Immortal Fairy protecting him, he wouldn't dare to treat the Immortal Ying Tian like that.

"The later things you also know. When this kid shattered his core to form the infant, he attracted the heavenly tribulation. The momentum was huge; the opening was two bolts of lightning striking down."

"Those two bolts of lightning struck Little Ye's Nascent Soul and opened its intelligence. That Nascent Soul was truly an eye-opener. Flying into the sky, it could shatter the Lei Jie; flying back into the body, it could beat its owner." Tao Lao clicked his tongue in wonder at that scene. He had lived for five thousand years and had never seen such an outrageous scene.

Lu Yang listened and was also very envious. His Nascent Soul only knew how to run away when facing the Lei Jie.

"I also heard that Second Senior Brother destroyed his own Nascent Soul and refined a new one?"

"That was to swindle outsiders. The actual situation was relatively special and not convenient to tell outsiders. You are not outsiders, so it's fine to tell you. In fact, Little Ye defeated his own Nascent Soul."

Lu Yang was moved. This was the breakthrough point he wanted most. He hurriedly asked: "How did Second Senior Brother defeat his Nascent Soul?"

"He said that no matter how strong the Nascent Soul is, it is still a part of him. Since it is a part of him, his whole must definitely be stronger than the part, so he must definitely be able to defeat his Nascent Soul!"

"He also said that spiritual victory is also a kind of victory."

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
