Chapter 474: 287: The Nascent Soul's Law Domain that Covers Thousands of Miles, Understanding Dao Heart_2
Of course, ever since Zhou Sui successfully reached the Core Formation stage, he earned matching strength and status.
Nobody dared to accuse Zhou Sui of being a sponge anymore.
Who dared to say a Golden Core Cultivator was freeloading?
Instead, every cultivator was praising Leng Yuexi, Shen Biqian, and Lin Yazhu for their discerning eyes in recognizing an individual with untapped potential.
Zhou Sui had now truly become Elder Zhou, respected by all.
But now?
They hadn’t even had time to react and just in a span of a few decades, his cultivation level had broke through successively, and he had already begun forming a Nascent Soul.
This was like a heavy bomb, causing countless cultivators to be shocked.
“Elder Zhou is indeed a heaven-sent genius.”
Ma Qianjun, Peak Master of Pill Medicine Peak, was most profoundly affected. He was deeply impressed by Zhou Sui.
In the past, Zhou Sui was just a cultivator on par with himself.
But how much time had passed since then? He was already undergoing Nascent Soul formation.
If their strengths had been similar, he would have been envious. But their difference was now so great, that he couldn’t even harbor envy.
Of course, he was also grateful to Zhou Sui.
Without Zhou Sui, he wouldn’t have acquired a third grade Demon Core, successfully become a Pseudo Pill cultivator, and obtained a lifespan of five hundred years.
Although he could not possibly break through further in his future cultivation, he was still satisfied.
After all, being a Golden Core Master able to live for five hundred years is a goal beyond the reach of countless cultivators.
He had become a Pseudo Pill cultivator, which was basically the limit of his life’s achievements.
…
At this time, within his dwelling at Immortal Mist Peak.
Zhou Sui didn’t know what was happening outside, and he was immersed in the process of forming his Nascent Soul.
In fact, he didn’t care what was happening outside.
Once he successfully promoted to the Nascent Soul, all calamities would vanish.
He could perceive his Nascent Soul within his body devouring a vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy, growing robustly. It was no longer as weak as at the start, and within his body, traces of Nascent Soul cultivation power had begun to develop.
These traces of Nascent Soul cultivation power circulated within the body, causing immense changes in the body, initiating a metamorphosis.
Clearly, a strand of Nascent Soul cultivation power was far more powerful than a strand of Golden Core cultivation power, more than a hundred times stronger.
The difference between the two was like the difference between iron and tofu – the disparity was vast.
“Hmm?!”
At this moment, Zhou Sui felt a movement in his heart. He felt he was recklessly swallowing nature’s spiritual energy, and had also inadvertently devoured strands of Demonic Qi from the universe.
This Demonic Qi had also poured into his Nascent Soul.
With the passage of time, this Demonic Qi had stimulated his Heart Demon, causing his Heart Demon to grow stronger.
The stronger the cultivation and the more solid the foundation, the more terrifying the power of the Heart Demon.
It was directly proportional.
Hence, even cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots dreaded the Heart Demon Tribulation and would change color upon hearing about it.
“So that’s how it is, that’s the origin of the Heart Demon Tribulation?”
Zhou Sui finally understood.
He had been doubtful before, as to why every cultivator had to go through the Heart Demon Tribulation every time they promoted to Nascent Soul, which was basically an unavoidable event.
The reason was that while forming the Nascent Soul and inhaling infinite spiritual energy, they inevitably also inhaled Demonic Qi.
Because the Demonic Qi augmented your inner Heart Demon, thus causing various calamities.
If one is unable to eliminate the Heart Demon within the body, then they will fail through the tribulation and the Nascent Soul will be destroyed due to demonic possession.
Boom~~
At this moment, Zhou Sui felt a shock through his body and his vision darkened. He found himself back in Misty Cloud City, back to the time when he was still at the first layer of Qi cultivation.
“Zhou Sui, stay home obediently today, don’t run around.”
“Your mother and I are off to the Misty Mountain Range, and we won’t be back anytime soon.”
“Remember, never leave the city, there are many vicious Loose Cultivators outside.”
“With your cultivation at the first layer of Qi cultivation, you’re like a fat lamb to them.”
A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe advised Zhou Sui.
“Son, this time, your father and I have found a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling.”
“If everything goes smoothly, we will surely gain a lot.”
“By then, we should be able to accumulate enough Spirit Stones to help you join the Immortal Mist Sect.”
“Although your Spiritual Root Aptitude is a bit low, once you become an Outer Disciple of the Immortal Mist Sect, you can lead a peaceful life and won’t be bullied like the Loose Cultivators.”
A gentle middle-aged woman looked at Zhou Sui.
Indeed, these two were the parents of Zhou Sui’s previous incarnation.
“It’s impressive, is this the Heart Demon illusion?”
“Finding the gaps in the soul and creating a hard-to-distinguish illusion.”
“No wonder even cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots can’t resist.”
Zhou Sui was very emotional, coldly observing the surrounding scene.
Under his perception, everything seemed real – temperature, smell, sound, touch; they didn’t differ much from the sensory experience of the real world.
If not for the Dream Soul Gu he possessed, he would probably be unable to differentiate and would believe that he was still a Qi practitioner, living in Misty Cloud City.
Roar~~
At this moment, the Dream Soul Gu deep in his mind seemed to have sensed something, and it let out a loud roar. A terrifying shock wave followed, and the whole Heart Demon world trembled.
The world, which had initially been incredibly real, now began to show traces of cracks.
