189: Chapter 189: Nascent Soul is Finally Completed

The function of the Heart Lightning Tribulation is to question the heart and see one's true nature.

This Lightning Tribulation is bizarre and unpredictable, originating from the calamity within one's heart, and is a test by heaven and earth on the state of mind and Dao Heart of Cultivators forming a Nascent Soul.

Each Heart Lightning can trigger the memories one is least willing to face, and the things one fears most. With the slightest carelessness, one will fall into inner demons and be eternally lost.

For example, the Dao Heart vows made by Cultivators will appear in the Heart Lightning Tribulation when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, questioning the heart one by one whether the Dao Heart has been violated.

The Heart Lightning Tribulation will also stir up the most primal desires in the heart of Cultivators forming a Nascent Soul. If the Dao Heart is unstable, they will fall deep into the Heart Lightning illusion and gradually sink.

Chen Qingyuan took out a third-order Clear Spirit Pill and put it in his mouth, his eyes fixed on the thunderclouds in the sky.

He saw the heavy thunderclouds in the sky rolling more violently, forming multi-colored barriers, and illusory lightning flickering in and out of sight within the clouds.

Immediately after, a Heart Lightning struck directly towards Chen Qingyuan.

In an instant, countless illusions appeared in Chen Qingyuan's mind.

There were scenes of the Chen Clan facing a crisis years ago, with the younger generation fighting in bloody battles; there was the death of a beloved beauty; there was himself being chased by enemies with nowhere to go; there was the Qixia Mountain teleportation array being discovered by outsiders, and the Chen Clan suffering a tragic siege...

Every illusion was incredibly real, and Chen Qingyuan fell deep into the illusions, gradually sinking.

Just as Chen Qingyuan was about to completely sink into the illusions, the Clear Spirit Pill in his mouth suddenly emitted a gentle and clear spiritual aura.

This aura was like a wisp of clear wind, gently brushing over his chaotic consciousness, allowing a trace of clarity to flash through his mind instantly.

"No, this is not real!" Chen Qingyuan roared in his heart. He used his last shred of will to break free from the constraints of the illusions.

His eyes became increasingly firm. Those past regrets and painful memories had all become the past.

The Chen Clan's crisis would be easily resolved after he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Heart Lightning Tribulation, as Chen Jiancang saw his true nature, also slowly disappeared into the thunderclouds.

At this moment, the lightning disappeared, and endless sweet rain fell from the thunderclouds onto Qixia Mountain. In an instant, the entire Qixia Mountain, after being nourished by the spiritual rain, became full of spiritual energy.

This sweet rain lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating.

"Hahaha, after cultivating diligently for over five hundred years, I have finally entered the Nascent Soul Realm today." Chen Qingyuan felt his completely different state compared to before and laughed up at the sky.

"A Nascent Soul's Lifespan exceeds a thousand years." Chen Qingyuan felt his body full of vitality and couldn't help but exclaim.

His Lifespan was originally approaching its end. With a Breakthrough, he gained nearly half of his Lifespan, and the Azure Emperor Everlasting Art he mainly cultivated was even better at self-cultivation, nurturing one's nature, and extending Lifespan.

He was confident he could live up to fifteen hundred years.

Chen Qingyuan no longer lingered in the air and turned back to the Qixia Mountain Spiritual Vein to consolidate his Realm.

At this time, the outside world did not yet know that Chen Qingyuan had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. They only felt that the thunderstorms in the Qingya Mountain Range were particularly strong this year.

"Old Ancestor, did he succeed in forming a Nascent Soul?" At this moment, Chen Jiancang finished managing the Spirit Field, looked at the terrifying thunderstorm clouds in the direction of Qixia Mountain gradually dissipating, and guessed in his heart.

After all, among the Chen Clan, only he clearly knew that the Old Ancestor would undergo the Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation in Qixia Mountain.

On the Main Spiritual Vein, many Chen Clan Foundation Establishment Cultivators also successively walked out of their cave dwellings, looking towards Qixia Mountain. A few Cultivators who knew a little about the inside story even showed expressions of unconcealed surprise.

According to records in books, after successfully passing the Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation, sweet rain would fall universally. The scene in the direction of Qixia Mountain at this moment was exactly the same as described in the books.

They were just curious why there would be such an anomaly in that direction, as there was no third-order Spiritual Vein there.

Several days passed in a flash.

The Chen Clan gradually returned to peace. No one mentioned the anomaly in the direction of Qixia Mountain anymore, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Jiancang still busied himself traveling back and forth between the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein and the Main Spiritual Vein.

At this time, the spiritual plants Chen Jiancang planted in the Plot 30 Spiritual Field of the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein also matured one after another.

In the Plot 30 Spiritual Field of the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein, Chen Jiancang carefully inspected the spiritual plants planted in the Spirit Field.

[Variety] Ningmai Grass

[Rank] First Order Spiritual Plant

[Maturity] 100%

[Uses] Has a warming and strengthening effect on a Cultivator's Meridians, can assist in improving cultivation speed, commonly used to refine Meridian Strengthening Pills that enhance meridian toughness, Breakthrough Pills for breaking through minor Realms, Breakthrough Pills, Qi Gathering Pills that nourish spiritual energy, and can also be added to special spiritual tea to help Cultivators sort out the flow of spiritual power within their bodies.

[Cultivation Method] Take mystic yang soil mixed with Gold God Feather Robe Powder, add Jade Dew Nectar to blend, seal and ferment for ten days.

When planting, soak the Ningmai Grass seeds in it for three days, perform spiritual rain once daily, and it will mature in three months.

"This Ningmai Grass has finally matured!" Chen Jiancang looked at the patches of Ningmai Grass plants before him and couldn't help but exclaim.

Previously, his plan for planting Ningmai Grass was to gain experience in refining First Order pills like Breakthrough Pills and Breakthrough Pills, and then use them to help himself break through to the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level.

However, before the Ningmai Grass matured, he had already broken through to the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level first with the help of the spiritual liquid obtained from Chen Youwan.

Now, a year has passed. Not only has he broken through to the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level, but after harvesting several batches of Blood Nether Vine, he has already reached the Qi Refining Completion Realm.

Now he only needs sufficient foundation establishment pills to prepare for Foundation Establishment. However, the yellow bell flower planted in the Plot 147 Spiritual Field is estimated to still need three months to mature. If he wants to gain experience in refining foundation establishment pills, he will have to wait for a while longer.

"Even if a mosquito is small, it's still meat. Let's harvest it first." Chen Jiancang no longer hesitated, picked up his spiritual sickle, and began harvesting the Ningmai Grass.

[You harvested a Ningmai Grass, rewarded with a small spirit energy group]

[You harvested a Ningmai Grass, rewarded with Breakthrough Pill refining experience]

...

Every time Chen Jiancang harvested a Ningmai Grass, he gained a little Breakthrough Pill, Meridian Strengthening Pill, and Breakthrough Pill refining experience in his mind.

These pills were already useless to Chen Jiancang, but if Chen Jiancang mastered the refining of these few types of pills and refined them in large quantities, then these pills, which were quite rare on the market, would not be so scarce for the Chen Clan.

At this time, Jiancang had already reached Qi Refining Completion. After his Dantian was full, the spirit energy groups rewarded from harvesting the Ningmai Grass could no longer be absorbed. These spirit energy groups were no longer poured into Chen Jiancang's Dantian but were stored in Chen Jiancang's various Acupoints.

"Hmm~"

At this moment, Chen Jiancang also sensed the abnormality in his body. A small spirit energy group could fill an acupoint. The human body has a total of 720 Acupoints. By the time Chen Jiancang finished harvesting all the Ningmai Grass, all 720 Acupoints, regardless of whether they were life or death Acupoints, were filled with spirit energy groups.

After the last acupoint was filled with a spirit energy group, Chen Jiancang strangely sensed that his Spiritual Root seemed to have been cleansed, and it instantly improved by one level.

Although it was still a five-element Spiritual Root, Chen Jiancang could feel that if he refined spiritual energy with all his strength, the speed would be at least more than double the original.
