Mid-stage Nascent Soul Transformation, the celebration begins!

"I can't lose... I need to become stronger... I need revenge..."

Her unwavering conviction became her sole source of spiritual support.

Lu Yuan stood in mid-air, watching this scene with a solemn expression.

He knew that the most crucial moment had arrived.

"Chaotic Sword Body, manifest!"

Lu Yuan gave a low shout.

Behind him, a chaotic mist surged.

Amidst the mist, the phantom of an ancient, desolate giant sword, seemingly representing the origin of swordsmanship, slowly emerged.

This is one of the original phenomena of the Chaos Sword Body—the phantom of the innate sword.

"go."

Lu Yuan pointed out with one finger.

The innate sword shadow transformed into a stream of light, instantly entering Lu Xueyao's body, protecting her heart meridian, and guiding the raging sword energy to impact her closed nine orifices.

boom!

From Lu Xueyao's body, muffled sounds like the beating of drums emanated.

Under the protection of the innate sword shadow, the nine originally indestructible acupoints were broken open one by one, as if they were made of paper.

One orifice, two orifices... five orifices... eight orifices.

Until the very last trick.

"Open it for me."

Lu Xueyao suddenly opened her eyes and let out a cry that came from her very soul.

Click!

It was as if something had broken.

A tremendous sword intent surged forth from her slender body.

The power of this sword intent was so strong that it actually triggered celestial phenomena.

The entire void of the Taixu Secret Realm trembled.

Inside the Sword Tomb, the thousands of broken swords that were originally raging suddenly bent their blades and fell towards Lu Xueyao.

Ten thousand swords submitted.

Like bowing to a king.

Lu Xueyao floated in mid-air, her wounds healing at a visible speed, her skin becoming crystal clear and radiant, and her whole body exuding a faint silver glow.

On her chest, a delicate, translucent phantom of a heart with nine holes appeared and disappeared, each beat unleashing endless sword energy.

The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart has fully awakened.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly into her body.

Her cultivation level, starting from nothing, began to increase rapidly.

Qi Refining Level 1... Qi Refining Completed... Foundation Establishment Stage.

Without any bottlenecks, she directly skipped the Qi Refining stage, ascended to the heavens in one step, forged a flawless foundation for the Great Dao, and stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although she was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the sharp aura emanating from her, enhanced by the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart, was enough to make even ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivators feel their hearts tremble.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Lu Xueyao landed on the ground, feeling the immense power within her body. With tears in her eyes, she bowed deeply to Lu Yuan.

Get up.

Lu Yuan landed in front of her, looking at his disciple with satisfaction.

"Now that you have formed your sword heart, you must not let it go to waste. There are many second and third-tier demonic beasts in this secret realm, which is perfect for you to practice on."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan pointed a finger at her brow.

"This 'Tai Xu Splitting Light Sword' is a high-grade Heaven-rank sword technique, which is most compatible with your sword heart. You will train here and only leave seclusion when you have mastered this sword technique to a minor degree."

"Yes, disciple obeys." Lu Xueyao accepted the inheritance, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

After settling Lu Xueyao in, Lu Yuan flashed to the inheritance hall at the core of the secret realm.

He opened one of the hidden secret rooms with practiced ease.

This place contains the entire collection of Venerable Taixu's lifelong collection.

Although most treasures have lost their spiritual essence over time, Lu Yuan still found what he wanted in a box made of ten-thousand-year-old black jade.

A bottle of well-preserved elixirs.

"Purple Extreme Pill".

Lu Yuan opened the jade bottle, and a rich purple aura wafted out.

This is a fifth-tier elixir specifically designed for Nascent Soul cultivators to enhance their magical power and refine their primordial spirit.

"Perfect, I can use the power of this pill to break through in one fell swoop."

Lu Yuan sat down cross-legged and poured the entire bottle of Purple Extreme Pills into his mouth.

If one were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, even if they obtained this pill, they would still need to carefully refine it one by one, which would take several years.

But Lu Yuan was different.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art, practice it!"

His abdomen seemed to have turned into a black hole, frantically devouring the enormous medicinal power.

The Great Five Elements Chaos Technique was operating at full power, and the Five Elements Laws rapidly transformed the violent medicinal power into its own magical power, filling the void in the dantian.

During his previous dual cultivation sessions with Gu Qingxue, his magical power had already reached a critical point. Now, with the boost from this Purple Extreme Pill, breaking through was simply a natural progression.

Rumble.

Several hours later.

A muffled thunderous sound echoed from inside the main hall.

The Five Elements Divine Light around Lu Yuan surged, and the Five Emperors Dharma Images behind him became incredibly clear, as if they were about to step from illusion into reality.

A vast pressure belonging to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm swept across the entire Inheritance Hall.

As his cultivation level increased, Lu Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness expanded once again.

The original two-thousand-foot-tall primordial spirit dharma image grew even taller under the baptism of this breakthrough power.

Two thousand five hundred zhang... two thousand eight hundred zhang... three thousand zhang.

It only stopped after reaching three thousand feet.

The three-thousand-foot-long primordial spirit shone with golden light, appearing almost tangible.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and wherever his gaze passed, electricity crackled in the void.

His current spiritual strength is comparable to that of a Venerable in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul, three thousand feet in primordial spirit."

Lu Yuan stood up, feeling the earth-shattering power within him, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"With my current strength, I'm afraid I could even contend with a Void Refinement Realm expert!"

……

Half a month is but a blink of an eye.

During this period, the entire Qingyun Sect was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

In preparation for her ancestor's Nascent Soul Ceremony, Gu Qingxue spared no effort in the sect's efforts to ensure the event was a grand and spectacular affair that would awe the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Lu Yuan spends most of his time in seclusion on Changsheng Peak to consolidate his cultivation level.

The daily updated intelligence was mostly trivial gossip, such as a disciple having a crush on his senior sister, which he casually ignored.

Until midnight, on the eve of the official Divine Transformation Ceremony.

Lu Yuan sat upright in his cave, his mind stirred slightly, and he summoned the system interface.

[Ding, daily intelligence update.]

Three new pieces of intelligence slowly emerged on the pale blue light screen.

[White Intelligence: The Starfall Pavilion, an affiliated sect of the Taiyi Sect, has had its disciples secretly infiltrated into the menial disciples responsible for the celebratory drinks under the secret instructions of Ye Chen, the sect leader of the Taiyi Sect.]

They will secretly add a colorless and odorless powder called "Disruptive Spirit Powder" to the spirit wine served at this celebration.

Although this medicine is not fatal, it can cause low-level cultivators below the Golden Core stage to lose control of their spiritual power for a short period of time, making them look foolish in public. The aim is to create chaos and cause the Qingyun Sect to lose face in front of all fellow cultivators. [Click to view the identity of the poisoner]

[Purple Intelligence: Among the procession coming to offer birthday congratulations, the Hundred Refinements Sect has prepared a generous gift: a third-grade low-level Fire Forging Furnace, which they intend to present to the host.]

Hidden within the bottom layer of this furnace is a map of a dragon-patterned black gold ore vein, undiscovered by the Hundred Refinements Sect God. If the host accepts this gift and dismantles the furnace bottom, detailed information about this ore vein can be obtained.
