Nascent Formation!
In a flash, the four seasons of the year had gone through 10 cycles. The scenic view of his training ground was restored as the mountains and rivers that he destroyed returned to its original state.
Ning Fan meditated in his abode throughout the years to stabilize his new realm.
After stabilizing his Gold Core, he wanted to cultivate for more power! The next goal he aimed to achieve in the remaining 250 years was to form his Nascent Soul!
He held a Nascent Formation Pill in his hand and silently studied it.
The success rate of forming his Nascent Soul in his current state was less than 30%.
For most cultivators, forming Nascent Souls not only required tremendous magic power which was more than their current state could hold but also comprehending and mastering the 5 elements of heaven and earth.
It sure was not easy gaining such a large amount of magic power. However, comprehending and mastering the 5 elements was the most difficult part which might take cultivators hundreds of years.
In short, forming a Nascent Soul was way harder than forming Gold Core!
When Ning Fan successfully achieved the Gold Core Realm, his magic power increased drastically, from 23 units to 33 units.
Consuming the Min Luo Fruits also helped increase the realm of his mind. Nine of the fruits were equivalent to 450 years of cultivation. Currently, his state of mind was comparable to a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
As his cultivation realm increased, his spirit sense had also improved, breaking through to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm! If he was able to achieve Nascent Formation, his spirit sense would eventually achieve the Late Nascent Soul Realm!
He could be considered to have fulfilled the first requirement to form his Nascent Soul. All he needed was the comprehension of the 5 elements.
Actually, the Nascent Soul was created from the primordial power of heaven and earth. The combination of the five elements was the source of the power!
When cultivators achieve Nascent Formation, they become able to use magic techniques of 5 different elements. Of course, their primary element would still depend on the original element of their immortal veins. The remaining four elements would all be supplementary.
The reason that dual-element cultivators were considered gifted was because they were left with only 3 elements to comprehend. Thus, they could fulfill the second requirement faster than the usual cultivator.
As for Ning Fan, he had unknowingly learned to use 4 elements when he was mastering his techniques. If he was still at the External Endless Sea, his current condition would definitely blow everyone’s mind!
Fire element, ice element, lightning element and lastly, the wood element. I’m short of the earth element … I only need to master one element and then I can form my Nascent Soul!
He slapped his storage pouch and took out a scroll that emitted intense corpse qi – Corpse Devil Record.
He had already completed cultivating the Colossal Bone Secret Art. Therefore, he needed something to replace his Body Refining Technique. The best technique he had was the Corpse Devil Record! This was a devil technique that opens up the devil veins of the earth element within the cultivators. The veins would be used to absorb the corpse qi from the earth.
It should be enough to make up for what I’m lacking.
He needed to raise the realms of his cultivation methods again!
Other than the Yin Yang Transformation, all the techniques he possessed must achieve the fourth realm! By doing so, he would have 20% more assurance to form his Nascent Soul without fail!
Moreover, Ning Fan would still need to cultivate a type of secret art – Yin Evil Art!
He had obtained this secret art from Old Monster Purple Yin which he fought in Ning City. It was invented by an old ancestor of the Extreme Yin Sect. By cultivating this art, the cultivators would be able to congeal a Yin Pearl within their body. The pearl was a magic treasure that would fuse with the Gold Core of the cultivators, strengthening the power of the Gold Core. The stronger the Gold Core becomes, the higher chance the cultivators will have to successfully form their Nascent Souls.
In other words, Ning Fan would have 60% success rate of forming his Nascent Soul with the Yin Pearl!
“60%... If I consume the Nascent Formation Pill, I’ll have 70% success rate… Furthermore, the quality of the pill I refined is better compared to others like it because of my Fifth Revolution pill refining technique. The pill should be more effective than usual… A 70% success rate is enough for me to try. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Nascent Soul Realm Dao Fruit and I can’t pluck the women in my Cauldron Ring. If only I have access to them, I would still be able to increase my magic power…”
*Sigh*
Suddenly, Ning Fan got a twinkle in his eyes.
“I think this is not the end of it! There’s still another way to increase my magic power!”
With a wave of his sleeve, one of the twelve Earth Vein Demonic Flames and two different types of Heavenly Cold Qi appeared in front of him.
The flame was white and took the shape of a human skull. One of the cold qi had the shape of a pine leaf while the other one took the form of a human skeleton. They were the White Bone Flame, Pine Cold Essence and Bone Prison Qi!
If he successfully assimilate them, his magic power would definitely be magnified! That would give him another 20% success rate in achieving the Nascent Soul Realm!
“So I shall start with working on my cultivation methods and techniques. After that, I’ll devour the Heavenly Cold Qi and the Earth Flame. Lastly, I’ll swallow the Nascent Soul Pill and finally form my Nascent Soul!”
…
30 years flashed by. The Black Devil Spell, Snow Treading Art and Camellia Scripture reached the first level of the fourth realm. Right after that, he started practicing the Corpse Devil Record. The scroll actually recorded the method to open the corpse veins and also ways to enhance the power of the corpse vein cultivators. It was one of the Immemorial Devil Techniques. This technique was a thousand times harder than the Colossal Bone Secret Art which made it seem like it was impossible to learn for the common cultivator.
The cultivators of the technique must consume a few kinds of medicine that needed to be specially refined according to the record. Moreover, they needed to learn to control their qi and absorb the corpse qi from the corpses. So how do they get corpses? Needless to say, they must kill lots of people to accumulate the needed amount of corpse qi. If anyone who practices this record does not want to sacrifice others, the only way they can obtain corpse qi was through drawing in the power of the earth and turn it into corpse qi.
