Chapter 606 Nascent Soul Formation

At this moment, the disciples of the Sword Sect were all in a safe area far away from where True Person Chonghua was undergoing his tribulation, closely watching the situation in the sky.

They were all extremely nervous. The Great Heavenly Tribulation of Nine-Nine, eighty-one tribulation lightning bolts! They didn't know if True Person Chonghua could successfully overcome it.

If they can successfully overcome the tribulation, the Sword Sect will produce its youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch!

It should be noted that Master Chonghua is not yet 100 years old!

If he fails to transcend the tribulation, this genius with innate sword bones will at best experience a decline in cultivation, and at worst, die and perish!

This is something that no one in the Sword Sect wants to see!

"Master Chonghua is a rare talent with innate sword bone, one in a hundred years. He established his foundation at twenty, reached the Golden Core stage at thirty, and is now attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before he is even a hundred years old. Such talent is rare even in the entire cultivation world. He will definitely be able to successfully overcome this tribulation!"

A disciple in a blue robe gripped his sword tightly, his voice trembling slightly with tension.

"That may be true, but how easy is it to overcome the Great Heavenly Tribulation of Ninety-Nine?"

Another, older disciple frowned.

"Eighty-one tribulation lightning bolts, each stronger than the last. Legend has it that the final few contain world-destroying divine power, which even veteran Golden Core peak cultivators might not be able to withstand. What's worse, True Person Chonghua cultivates the ruthless sword path!"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. The disciple in green robes asked in confusion, "The Ruthless Sword Dao is decisive and powerful. Isn't that an advantage?"

"You do not understand."

The older disciple shook his head and sighed, "The Heavenly Tribulation is the ultimate test of one's Dao heart, especially the Tribulation of Questioning the Heart within the Nascent Soul Tribulation, which is specifically designed to counter the ruthless Dao."

"Being ruthless does not mean being heartless. Master Chonghua has severed all emotions and love, and his Dao heart seems to be stable. However, once the Tribulation of Questioning the Heart arrives, all past obsessions will turn into inner demons that backfire. If he is not careful, his Dao heart will collapse, which is a hundred times more dangerous than resisting the tribulation of lightning!"

"I've heard that many female cultivators admire Master Chonghua, and our Senior Sister Chu is especially infatuated with him. Why doesn't Master Chonghua accept her?"

A female disciple with her hair in two buns asked, puzzled.

"He cultivates the ruthless sword path, which is inherently about severing emotions and love."

A female disciple in yellow robes whispered, "If he finds a Daoist partner, he might just kill his wife to prove his Dao!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The older disciple said in a deep voice, but his gaze involuntarily tightened, "Is Master Chonghua such a heartless and ruthless person?"

"Since the True Man dared to choose the ruthless sword path, he must have a way to deal with it!"

"I hope so."

The disciple in green sighed, "If you, True Person, can successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage, our Sword Sect's status among the seven major sects will definitely rise significantly..."

At that moment, a clear and melodious dragon roar came from the heavens, carrying an ancient desolation and holiness.

The thunder and lightning gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight broke through the clouds, illuminating the earth.

The disciples were overjoyed; had they survived the tribulation?

In the sky, wisps of icy blue spiritual energy gathered like snakes, gradually outlining the silhouette of a giant dragon. Its crystal-clear horns and body covered with ice crystal scales, each scale reflecting a cold, moonlit light, cast dappled icy shadows across the heavens and earth.

The ice dragon slowly stretched out its body, its thousand-foot-long form condensed from pure ice spirit energy, without a trace of other colors.

Its eyes are a deep, icy blue, reflecting the mountains and rivers, yet they are devoid of any ferocity, exuding tranquility and clarity.

"Ice Dragon Celestial Phenomenon!"

The eldest disciple was overjoyed, "Master Chonghua has successfully transcended his tribulation! He should now be called True Lord Chonghua!"

As we all know, True Man Chonghua has an ice spirit root. The appearance of an ice dragon in the heavens indicates that he has successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!

All the disciples cheered.

At the pinnacle of the Sword Sect, the Purple Sun Sword Master watched all this from afar, a great weight lifted from his heart, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

The ice dragon hovered high in the sky, opening its mouth to spew out a stream of icy blue dragon energy, which transformed into countless ice flowers that fell from the sky, carrying a gentle warmth that nourishes all things.

This was an auspicious sign, a manifestation of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth, resonating with his own spiritual root. The disciples all sat down cross-legged, sensing the laws of heaven and earth at this moment.

At this moment, the newly promoted True Lord Chonghua, Xie Chang'an, appeared!

He stood suspended in mid-air amidst the icy mist, dressed in white, as handsome as a god.

His eyes held neither sorrow nor joy, and compared to his former icy demeanor, they possessed a newfound clarity and vastness, pure and transparent, powerful yet gentle.

Xie Chang'an bowed respectfully to the Purple Sun Sword Master from afar: "Disciple thanks Master for his painstaking efforts!"

The Purple Sun Sword Master's face showed a look of relief: "Chonghua, I am very pleased that you were able to survive the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. You are the first person in the Sword Sect in a thousand years to advance to the Nascent Soul stage before you are even a hundred years old."

"The ruthless sword path is inherently more difficult than others to overcome tribulations. You have managed to slay your inner demons with sword intent, and your Dao heart is even stronger than before. This perseverance and comprehension are worthy of the name 'Born Sword Bones'."

"The path of cultivation ahead is long, and the tribulations will be greater than before. Remember to 'have no worries in your heart and let your sword follow your heart,' and do not let the word 'ruthlessness' bind your path."

Xie Chang'an bowed again, his voice steady and powerful: "Disciple will remember Master's teachings. In this life, I will prioritize the Sword Sect and revere the way of the sword, and live up to Master's high expectations!"

The Purple Sun Sword Master laughed and said, "Alright, your Nascent Soul is just beginning to form, and you still need to stabilize your realm. Go now."

"When you emerge from seclusion, I will personally preside over the Nascent Soul Ceremony for you."

"Yes, disciple will remember Master's command!"

Xie Chang'an bowed deeply, then transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the horizon.

At the Sword Sect's Ling Shuang Peak, Peak Master Ling Shuang Zhenjun entered the inner hall.

Although she was over five hundred years old, she looked no more than thirty years old, truly as beautiful as a peach blossom and as cold as ice.

However, she now has a happy expression on her face and is much gentler.

Inside the hall, a piece of cold jade adorned the room, where a beautiful, ethereal young woman in white sat cross-legged.

"Feixue, Chonghua, he..."

The girl suddenly opened her eyes. She was the junior sister who had followed Xie Chang'an into the small world and transformed into Chu Feixue!

She is also the most beloved disciple of True Monarch Ling Shuang.

"How is my senior brother?" Chu Feixue asked anxiously.

"He successfully transcended the tribulation!"

Ling Shuang Zhenjun laughed and said, "Now we should call him Chonghua Zhenjun."

Chu Feixue's face lit up with joy: "Really?"

She jumped up and exclaimed, "I'm going to congratulate my senior brother!"

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Ling Shuang Zhenjun smiled and took her hand, "He has just completed his tribulation, so naturally he needs to go into seclusion to stabilize his realm. Let's wait patiently for him to come out of seclusion."

"Master, what about my marriage with him..." Chu Feixue said anxiously.

“Silly girl, you risked damaging your cultivation to go down to the mortal realm with him for training, and even helped him successfully form his Nascent Soul. Your master will naturally stand up for you.”

Ling Shuang Zhenjun laughed and said, "You and he have already shared a lifetime of love, are you afraid he will deny it?"

Chu Feixue bit her lip, "But that little vixen from the Beast Taming Sect..."

Ling Shuang Zhenjun scoffed: "How could a mere Qi Refining stage disciple possibly aspire to be worthy of our Sword Sect's youngest and most promising Nascent Soul Zhenjun?"

"Don't worry, since your golden core shattered and your cultivation regressed because of him, Senior Brother Ziyang will definitely compensate you."

Ling Shuang Zhenjun snorted.

"While he is in seclusion, you should focus on recovering from your injuries. Your master has already asked an elder of the Pill Sect to specially refine a batch of Restoration Pills for you. With these pills, you will definitely be able to repair your damaged Golden Core."

"Thank you, Master!" Chu Feixue said with obvious joy.
