A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 224

Chapter 220 Strange Phenomena of Heaven and Earth, Changes in Spiritual Veins, Advancement of Insect Swarms

Mid-Nascent Soul Stage. The wind-attribute spiritual infant entered his body and dispersed, instantly transforming into the purest and gentlest energy to nourish him.

His meridians expanded.

His dantian became deeper.

His sea of consciousness swelled considerably, becoming even more expansive.

His internal organs were all cleansed and purified by the gentle, pure vitality, nourished in the most tender way imaginable.

Every cell received the nourishment of wind-attribute energy, developing a certain affinity for wind-based abilities.

This laid the foundation for him to master some relatively easy wind-attribute secret techniques in the future.

“This feeling… is like returning to my mother’s embrace…”

“So comfortable…”

He was enveloped in boundless warmth. His

physique, already comparable to a peak level three demon beast, was completely stabilized at level four after this spiritual energy tempering.

His already astonishingly pure mana and true essence became even higher quality.

The greatest benefit is the improvement in physical constitution. The essence remains within the body, allowing for rapid progress in later cultivation and body training.

The advantages are self-evident.

Furthermore, thanks to the spiritual eye jade bed beneath his buttocks and the surrounding spirit-sealing pillars, the overflowing essence not only didn’t dissipate but also had its original markings washed away, becoming more readily absorbed by the body.

The essence stored within the body is simply waiting for the right opportunity.

The Nine-Bend Spirit Pill, along with the remaining fourth Spirit-Stabilizing Pill in his hand, sank below his abdomen:

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The golden core within his body shattered,

turning into countless crystalline fragments.

A beam of light shot upwards.

Neither the spirit-sealing pillars nor the Reversed Five Elements Formation of the Forbidden Array could stop it.

This was the release of spiritual power.

Normally, his reactions and consciousness would have been slowed by the intense pain of the shattered golden core.

His internal magical power and true essence would have briefly lost control due to the shattering of the golden core, beginning to roam freely through his meridians, even reversing course and causing greater damage.

His body, along with the shattering of his golden core, should have been riddled with holes due to the reverse flow of magical power in his meridians.

However, the effects of the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill took hold, almost completely alleviating his pain.

Furthermore, his primordial spirit and divine sense were simply too powerful!

Through skillful and subtle manipulation, he significantly reduced the aftereffects of the shattered core!

Within the golden core, a vast amount of essence was released, beginning to merge with his primordial spirit.

The essence accumulated in his physical body also joined in at this moment.

The transformation into the Nascent Soul stage officially began.

His already powerful primordial spirit, after being tempered and refined during this Nascent Soul stage, became even more condensed and powerful.

The total amount of divine sense increased considerably.

The intensity of his divine sense strengthened significantly.

Compared to when he was still within Feng Hun’s body, his transformed divine sense was nearly 30% greater and more refined. Thus, he truly surpassed most ordinary Nascent Soul Grandmasters.

The so-called inner demon tribulation had no effect on the divine sense of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster.

The so-called inner demon test was more like a processing step that could qualitatively change the divine sense.

…

Crackling…

At first, the world outside changed color.

Dark clouds rapidly gathered, and lightning bolts transformed into silver snakes, dancing wildly within the clouds.

These phenomena of Nascent Soul formation affected the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.

However,

Biling Island spanned tens of thousands of miles.

As long as the formation was cleverly used to conceal the celestial phenomena and reduce the commotion, no one thousands of miles away would notice the slightest movement here. Unless a transformed demon cultivator happened to pass by, few high-level demon beasts would be foolish enough to approach.

Well, even if a few high-level sea demons wandered onto the island and happened to end up in his cave area, his level seven spirit beasts, such as the Wind Howling Eagle, Ice and Fire Wolf, Little White, Little Jade, Little Spirit, and Little Star, would be more than enough to handle them.

And he,

so far,

did not seem to exhibit any signs of “absorbing disaster.”

Perhaps it was because he was a reliable person, and even the heavens favored him and did not harm him.

“Huh? That’s not right. Can a second Nascent Soul formation also trigger celestial phenomena?”

Well, without prior experience as a reference, he really didn’t know this.

“And why is the Nascent Soul formation omen sinking?”

On the jade bed with spiritual eyes, Han Li noticed the strange situation and suddenly looked up.

In his memory, Nascent Soul formation omens were always triggered by the laws of heaven and earth, then formed a huge spiritual energy funnel thousands of feet in the air, helping the person forming the Nascent Soul to gather and refine the pure spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles.

But here, the celestial phenomenon wasn’t in the air above Biling Island, but had sunk underground!

A strange spiritual energy funnel had actually formed within the mine!

That funnel was three thousand feet above his head.

It was the spiritual energy pillar that was triggered when part of his internal mana went out of control and spontaneously leaked out, causing the spiritual energy to be released and triggering the celestial phenomenon. This was the very top that the spiritual energy pillar touched.

After a while, the released magical and spiritual power would flow back, carrying with it the gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse the physical body, purify the soul, and transform into essence that permeated every inch of the body.

Even Han Li, who had seen much of the world, was stunned by this scene:

“Why is this happening?”

Then, a thought struck him, and he guessed a possibility.

Normally, when a cultivator condenses their Nascent Soul, it’s like a demon beast transforming into human form; both receive assistance from the heavens and earth of this world. Accompanying the cultivator’s released pillar of spiritual energy would generate celestial phenomena to help the cultivator collect and purify the pure spiritual energy gathered from the surroundings. These

phenomena would always be thousands or tens of thousands of feet above the ground.

But he was not on the surface, but underground.

And hundreds of miles underground at that.

If the celestial phenomena were generated based on the height of the cultivator’s released pillar of spiritual energy, then the Nascent Soul formation he caused underground… theoretically, should indeed occur underground.

…

But a fatal problem arose.

Underground was the top-grade spiritual vein of Biling Island.

And its volume was enormous.

The massive funnel of spiritual energy that sank into the interior of Biling Island collided with a top-grade spiritual vein deep within the island, instantly igniting like dry tinder meeting a raging fire. The

previously dormant super spiritual vein seemed to come alive, like a giant dragon awakening, its gaze fixed intently on Han Li, its “target.”

How much spiritual energy could this phenomenon, covering hundreds of miles in radius, possibly draw upon?

Simply put, it’s equivalent to thousands, even tens of thousands, of high-grade spirit stones and millions, even tens of millions, of mid-grade spirit stones! And countless low-grade spirit stones within the area!

If such a vast expanse of spiritual energy were to be poured into him, it wouldn’t be a blessing, but a catastrophe!

Because his small body simply couldn’t contain the massive amount of spiritual energy possessed by even a small portion of Biling Island’s spiritual vein!

He would be instantly burst!

A trickle of water can nourish, but a bursting river often takes a life.

Eating and drinking, taking small sips, is perfectly fine. But to expect him to devour a whole vat of spiritual energy in one go, to become a giant fat man overnight… ugh… he couldn’t do it.

He looked up.

His divine sense swept over it.

Looking at the increasingly heavy, larger, and more oppressive funnel of spiritual energy, Han Li felt a chill run down his spine.

In any major sect, this would have turned into a gluttonous feast involving tens of thousands of cultivators.

But right now, there was no one here to help him share the gathered pure spiritual energy.

Happiness had come too suddenly; he was truly caught off guard.

…

What to do?

Even if the Wind Soul, a veritable giant container, helped him absorb some, it certainly wouldn’t be much.

Several spirit beasts came to share the burden, but it was still insufficient.

After all, it was a surge of spiritual energy from hundreds of miles within Biling Island, its sheer volume beyond imagination. It surpassed even the sacred mountain of the Star Palace.

The sacred mountain of the Star Palace could simultaneously meet the daily needs of dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, two thousand Core Formation cultivators, tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and countless Qi Refining cultivators. Biling Island’s spiritual energy reserves were no less abundant.

Moreover, the quality of Biling Island’s spiritual energy was more than ten times better than that of the Star Palace’s sacred mountain.

Not only was the quantity greater, but the quality was also higher.

This wave of spiritual energy rushing towards him would definitely kill him.

The key was that

it couldn’t be interrupted.

Otherwise, his Nascent Soul condensation would fail, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and his vital energy would be severely damaged.

“I can only use the golden treasure chest to isolate him…”

Even if the golden treasure chest couldn’t completely block the perception of heaven and earth from him, it could block the forced influx of spiritual energy. It could prevent the previously released mana and spiritual energy from returning and being blocked outside the treasure chest.

Even without the aid of the Nascent Soul Auspicious Sign, he could actually re-form his Nascent Soul.

After all, he had just dispersed his wind-attribute Nascent Soul, and

his body was full of vital energy.

Not to mention, he was on Biling Island.

“If I had known that forming a second Nascent Soul would also trigger an auspicious sign, I would never have secluded myself here.”

This trap was too big.

For any other cultivator, this would be an unsolvable dead end.

Either stop forming the Nascent Soul and all previous efforts would be wasted,

or they would have to endure the spiritual energy pouring down from the giant funnel of heaven and earth.

Fortunately,

he had the golden treasure chest as a backup.

“Right, the Gold-Eating Insects will also work.”

The next moment:

“Buzz…”

He used his divine sense to control the Gold-Eating Insects, condensing a thick layer of insect armor on his body.

Unless the thousands of Gold-Eating Insects on his body swelled up with the insect armor, the spiritual energy gathering from the outside world would not be able to touch him.

Not only that,

he also generated eighteen golden clouds above his head.

It was also a six-layered interception net.

He didn’t wait long before the massive funnel, having reached its peak of power, swept up earth and rocks, fractured mineral veins, and shattered countless spirit stones, before pouring down towards Han Li!

Directly towards the Spirit Eye Lake where he was!

Han Li watched in terror.

The first cloud of insects, composed of ten thousand Gold-Devouring Insects, was instantly dispersed by the spiritual energy.

Each one exhibited a “spiritual halo” phenomenon;

they were all overfed.

This continued for fifteen consecutive clouds of insects, totaling one hundred and fifty thousand Gold-Devouring Insects, all scattered in disarray.

These Gold-Devouring Insects were a new generation born from the previous generation after the Void Heaven Palace secret realm, where the swarm had evolved.

After years of cultivation, they all possessed spiritual power levels of three or four.

Only when the last three clouds of insects further weakened the impact of the spiritual energy did the downward momentum of the funnel slow down to an acceptable level.

Noticing this, Han Li’s eyes lit up.

Then, instead of closing the lid of the golden treasure chest, he crawled out of it.

Once the raging spiritual energy subsided and was successfully contained, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for him anymore.

For this Spirit Eye Land, it was an even greater blessing.

“The spiritual energy outside the Spirit Eye Lake is more than ten times denser?!”

This was equivalent to the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon helping the Azure Spirit Island’s spiritual veins compress the spiritual energy from hundreds of miles around into this small area of the Spirit Eye Land! It

drastically changed the spiritual vein pattern of Azure Spirit Island!

There were good and bad

aspects. The bad was that the vacuum zone would absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding area to fill it, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to become thinner and its quality to decline over time.

Until the surrounding area recovered, no new high-grade spirit stones would be born for a long time.

The benefits, however, were even greater.

So great that Han Li’s breathing became slightly rapid.

With hundreds of miles of pure spiritual energy converging within a few dozen miles, surrounding the Spirit Eye Lake, the quality of the spiritual energy here would undoubtedly improve.

This would encourage the birth of more high-grade spirit stones in this area.

Even the charging effect of top-grade spirit stones would be greatly improved.

Furthermore…

His cultivation speed in this area will increase significantly in the future. His

chances of successfully breaking through bottlenecks will also greatly improve.

Spiritual Eye Pearls, Spiritual Eye Stones, and other spiritual items may subsequently be generated.

In terms of the social system, this translates to: greater concentration of wealth!

…

Six years later.

Han Li emerged from seclusion.

At this time, his physical body had already formed a Nascent Soul, and his cultivation had reached its peak, surpassing the previous level of a Wind-attribute Nascent Soul cultivator—the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, his Wind Soul had condensed a Golden Core again.

Because he had also restarted his cultivation,

there were no bottlenecks to speak of.

Improving his cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking.

In six years, he had returned to the peak of the late-stage Core Formation.

The process was effortless.

Everything fell into place naturally.

If he wished, his Wind Soul could condense a Nascent Soul again.

What excited Han Li even more was the change in the nineteen Gold-Devouring Insects.

These nineteen Gold-Devouring Insects, which had originally reached level 7, showed no signs of evolution for a long time. However, after experiencing the influx of spiritual energy caused by the Nascent Soul phenomenon, their spiritual power level more than doubled.

Although they hadn’t reached the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, they had become exceptionally ferocious!

They had become extremely aggressive.

If Han Li hadn’t been constantly monitoring and strengthening the various restrictions, they probably would have escaped his control.

“These nineteen Gold-Devouring Insects, even if they aren’t mature yet, they’re close, right?”

Of course.

The most gratifying were the two Blood Jade Spiders, Little Spirit and Little Star.
