From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 377 Preparing for a Breakthrough!

Chen Xiujie sat cross-legged in the fire vein, his face pale, as if he were dead.

His chest was mangled and bloody, with five claw-like fissures extending deep into his bones. The wounds not only tore through flesh but also carried a destructive force, seeping into his internal organs along his blood vessels. Most terrifyingly, the light of his soul flickered erratically, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

At this moment, his life force is depleted. If his injuries are not treated in time after the [Sealing Nirvana Technique] is activated, he will die soon.

Seeing this, You Ming no longer hesitated and made a hand seal with his fingertips.

"True Water Radiance Mantra... Begin."

In an instant, the void trembled slightly, and streams of clear spring water gushed forth, as clear as a mirror. The spring water transformed into countless specks of light, like spring petals, carrying a gentle vitality, and slowly drifted in mid-air.

The water droplets fell on Chen Xiujie's chest, and the putrid aura from his flesh immediately emitted a shrill cry, as if it were being burned by raging fire.

However, the Seven Killing Star Power within his body was absorbed by You Ming, and the remaining injuries began to heal as the spring water continued to seep in, gradually dissolving the filth and entering his internal organs.

Chen Xiujie groaned, his body trembled violently, and then he exhaled a long breath of black gas, which was mixed with a sinister power like smoke. It transformed into a thing that looked like a pangolin, and it flew towards Chen Xiujie with a hiss.

"Whoosh."

You Ming flicked his finger, and the water light exploded instantly, purifying the power in a flash.

After losing the support of the Seven Killings Star Power, this amount of power is really nothing.

The spring light continued to transform into a stream of water, gently wrapping around Chen Xiujie's body, and finally disappearing into his brow, causing his originally dim and flickering soul fire to stabilize immediately, even becoming clearer than before.

His wounds healed even faster, leaving only a faint red mark. His breathing became steady, his brows relaxed, and his complexion improved significantly.

You Ming could sense that Chen Xiujie's internal energy was rapidly increasing.

Chen Xiujie's foundation was already incredibly strong. Now that his injuries have healed, the powerful source energy within him is rapidly recovering. He will probably be fully recovered in less than a month.

……

Chen Xiujie is expected to wake up in another month, and You Ming has no intention of staying idle.

At the [Dharma Aspect] level, he needed to condense nine divine abilities to break through to the [Tribulation] level. He originally planned to condense them all within ten years, but unexpectedly, the Taiwei Dao Master reversed the cause and effect, allowing him to successfully condense the last three divine abilities.

Therefore, he is only one step away from undergoing the tribulation.

However, for many Dharma Aspect cultivators, this step is the most difficult to choose. This is because a Dharma Aspect can enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years, but once one enters the [Tribulation] stage, calamities may befall them at any time. Not only will they be in a weakened state most of the time, but if the calamity is severe, they may even lose their lives.

Many people hesitate to take this step until they are about to die, and then they are forced to break through.

However, once a cultivator loses their spirit, it becomes difficult to traverse the Great Dao.

You Ming's mind was firm, and he naturally did not want to hesitate at the Dharma Aspect level. Especially after becoming a disciple of the Taiwei Dao Master, he would not have the face to use this title if his own strength was too low.

Therefore, once his supernatural power was fully condensed, he prepared to take this step.

"Raise all spiritual energy supplies to the maximum."

With a flicker of his body, You Ming appeared on a branch of the Azure Divine Tree. He communicated with the tree, and in an instant, all its branches reached into the void, drawing a large amount of spiritual energy from the darkness and sending it into the cave.

In no time, layers of mist rose within the entire cave due to the abundance of spiritual energy. You Ming sat cross-legged on a branch and began to circulate the [Boundless Return to the Sea Divine Scripture], his powerful and abundant magical power flowing through his body.

His magical power had long since become incredibly powerful after several splits, eight times stronger than when he first started.

As he circulated his magical power, the entire cave was filled with the roaring sound of that power, like the tides.

You Ming's breathing also became heavy. With one inhale, nearly a third of the spiritual energy in the entire cave was swept away. Then, with his exhale, a storm was stirred up throughout the entire cave.

Although he was still in the form of a carp, at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a dragon whale swimming in the ancient sea, possessing the power to swallow the heavens and earth.

He instantly activated all his supernatural powers.

Almost simultaneously, thousands of colorful butterflies took flight in the void, their wings as transparent as crystal, scattering light fragments as they fluttered, like souls leaving their shells and dreams being reborn. When the butterfly shadows converged, they could piece together a dreamlike world.

The butterfly dances in a dream, its reality and illusion shifting.

It's impossible to tell which side is the dream and which side is the illusion.

These butterflies flew out of the cave and manifested on Yuanling Mountain, creating a mirage-like scene.

"This is... a divine power diagram? Is a cultivator about to break through to the [Tribulation] stage?"

There are many cultivators and deities living near Yuanling Mountain, so everyone naturally noticed this situation immediately.

To break through the Dharma Form realm, one needs to manifest all one's supernatural powers into various scenes and integrate them into the Dharma Form, thus endowing the Dharma Form with spiritual energy.

"It's probably that carp god. His cultivation speed is so fast. He only spent ten years at the Dharma Aspect level."

Bingzhou itself is a cultivation wasteland. Even the Yin God level is considered a master, and the Dharma Aspect level is almost all top-notch. As for those undergoing tribulation... You Ming is not even sure if there are any tribulation cultivators in the entire Bingzhou.

In such remote areas, spiritual energy is scarce, and the divine forces are the dominant force.

As the butterflies vanished, the previously formless and intangible void suddenly began to solidify slowly, like countless rotating prisms. Countless figures were reflected in these prisms, their faces indistinct, but with each rotation of the prisms, these figures constantly changed, unpredictable and mysterious.

This is precisely the scene manifested by Youming's [Other-Transformation Freedom] supernatural power.

All the cultivators and deities watched from afar, thinking that this carp god's rapid breakthrough must mean he had cultivated relatively few supernatural abilities.

At the Dharma Aspect level, there are generally three levels. If one only condenses three or fewer supernatural powers, one is considered relatively weak. Not only is the Dharma Aspect's carrying capacity limited, but even if one enters the [Tribulation] stage, one's strength will not be very strong.

If one can achieve more than three but less than six, this falls within the level of most cultivators. If one can reach six, one could even be considered a genius.

The ability to condense more than six supernatural powers is quite rare in any Taoist sect.

If one can condense nine supernatural powers in one go, it means that a solid foundation has been established. Nine is the ultimate number, which is also the limit that a Dharma form can bear.

People speculate that this carp god can probably condense five supernatural powers, with the possibility of six being relatively low, but the probability of four being quite high.

After all, even if one were to work themselves to the bone every day to cultivate supernatural powers, it would be impossible to condense too many abilities too quickly over ten years.
