In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 480 Su Yuan, True Lord of the Beginning!
The key to condensing a nascent soul lies in 'life'.

During the breakthrough process, the cultivator must first invest their soul into the golden core, communicate with, merge with, and grow the seed of the Great Dao contained within it, until it breaks free from its shell.

This is a process of nurturing life, and also a process that causes a qualitative change in the life form of a cultivator.

After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, the physical body becomes something that can be discarded; the Nascent Soul is the place where a cultivator's soul resides.

Therefore, the lifespan of Nascent Soul cultivators is much longer than that of Golden Core cultivators, whose average lifespan is only five hundred years, while the lifespan of Nascent Soul cultivators can reach up to three thousand years.

At the same time, the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator will no longer be an inanimate object, but will become an extension of the cultivator's spirit and consciousness, enabling them to perform all sorts of incredible operations.

Spiritual energy progresses from the gaseous state of the Qi Refining stage, to the liquid state of the Foundation Establishment stage, to the solid state of the Golden Core stage, and finally to the activated state of the Nascent Soul stage. This is a gradual path to immortality.

However, a question arises: since a soul needs to reside in the body when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, can someone like Su Yuan, who possesses two Golden Cores, still have two Nascent Souls?
The answer is yes, but there is a primary and a secondary distinction.

The secondary nascent soul can only hold a portion of a cultivator's soul, but if the primary nascent soul is destroyed, the secondary nascent soul can immediately become the primary one, making it a powerful means of survival.

Su Yuan focused on the Primordial Chaos Dao, so his first breakthrough naturally had to be in the Inner Core.

Inside the quiet room, feeling the gentle radiance emanating from the three Nascent Soul cultivators outside, Su Yuan's heart became very peaceful.

The risks of shattering the core to form a nascent soul are no joke.

Once he invests his soul into the Golden Core, he only has two futures.

Either one successfully breaks through the Golden Core and elevates their life level, or one fails to break through the Golden Core and is forcibly broken through from the outside by the protector to rescue the soul.

If it is the latter, his cultivation will be greatly reduced, and he may even fall directly to the Foundation Establishment stage.

There is no time for a second Nascent Soul stage in the current situation. This breakthrough requires both extreme caution and a do-or-die attitude!

"Tsk, it feels like something's missing."

After sitting on the futon for a while, Su Yuan wiggled his buttocks, still feeling a little bit short of achieving true peace of mind.

While it's not impossible to break through this barrier, to achieve the best results, one must first calm down the turmoil in one's heart.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Su Yuan casually raised his hand and pushed open the door of the quiet room from a distance.

Upon seeing this scene, the three Nascent Soul cultivators guarding outside—Tai Baitianji, Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyue, Chu Lanxi, and others—all came to the door.

"Su Yuan, what's wrong? Is there anything we can help you with?"

Star River Heavenly Lord asked, looking slightly nervous.

Tai Baiji patiently explained:

"Don't panic when you break through a level, and don't feel too much pressure. We will support you."

"If you really can't find the feeling today, you can speak up and we won't blame you."

Hearing the soft whispers from the crowd, Su Yuan felt a warmth in his heart, and he had a sense of déjà vu about the scene before him.

Just like parents doting on their children the day before the college entrance exam, they spoil them as much as they can.

However, considering that her seclusion was for the purpose of conceiving a baby, and ignoring the gender factor, she might appear more like a pregnant woman in her parents' eyes.

What is this?

Su Yuan quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind and said, slightly embarrassed:

"Well, I don't really have anything to do, I just wanted to call Nuoyi in to keep me company."

Star River Heavenly Lord, Tai Bai Tianji: "..."

The two division commanders' eyes suddenly sharpened, and they looked at Su Yuan as if he were an insect.

You little brat, you dare to ask for this and that just because you're in a special situation! You must not be allowed to stay!
The Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation shook his head and said, "Love between men and women is a trivial matter. Su Yuan, you should let it go."

Shut up! You immature, perverted, pretentious old man!

Su Yuan muttered a disgruntled complaint in his heart, then added:

"If possible, please invite Long Bai in to keep me company as well."

"Ok?"

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, who had initially been indifferent, suddenly turned his gaze into two sharp arrows, piercing Su Yuan.

Just as the others were about to look at her strangely, Chen Nuoyi stepped forward, holding Long Bai's hand, and explained to everyone apologetically:

“Su Yuan used to always need the two of us to accompany him when he was cultivating. Now he may have fallen back into his old bad habit. Please don’t mind him.”

As she spoke, the girl turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed, and glared at Su Yuan before shoving him into the quiet room.

The heavy door slammed shut again, and silence fell both inside and outside.

Dragon Prince, activate!
With Chen Nuoyi by his side and a 380% boost to his cultivation efficiency, Su Yuan finally felt he was in the right position.

After meditating again, he no longer hesitated and formally formed his nascent soul.

The first step was to integrate all the Primordial Chaos Dao he possessed into his Golden Core.

The second step was to pour as much pure spiritual energy as possible into the Hunyuan Golden Core, almost exceeding the core's tolerance limit. After these two steps, the interior of the Hunyuan Golden Core had become the eye of a storm, extremely chaotic, and could explode at any moment.

At this point, Su Yuan's soul is needed to coordinate everything.

Su Yuan's soul flew out from the Niwan Palace and went straight into the Hunyuan Golden Core.

At the same time, his physical body fell into silence, as if he were dead.

Within the Primordial Golden Core, Su Yuan's soul sensed the surrounding violent power and plunged headlong into the very center of the Golden Core, where the Great Dao Seed, formed from the Senluo Spiritual Root, resided.

Having avoided countless turbulent currents of spiritual energy and the shackles of the Great Dao, Su Yuan's soul successfully arrived before the Seed of the Great Dao, which was dozens of times larger than his own soul, and struggled to squeeze into it.

With the blessing of the Seed of the Great Dao, he began to have the ability to control the situation, gradually absorbing the surrounding primordial essence and the vast pure spiritual power.

Nourished by both, the Seed of the Great Dao slowly changed, gradually transforming from a seed into the form of a human embryo.

After an unknown amount of time, once all the essence of the Great Dao and spiritual power within the Golden Core had been absorbed by the Seed of the Great Dao, a beautifully crafted infant appeared inside the Golden Core.

The baby almost completely filled the inside of the golden core, making it extremely difficult for it to move.

This is unacceptable to a creature seeking freedom.

Then, the baby frowned, held the sky above and stood on the ground, and let out a soft, babyish cry, pushing himself up with all his might!

With a crisp sound of an eggshell cracking, Su Yuan's previously dormant body was instantly filled with vibrant life.

An immense life force, too powerful to be contained, emanated from Su Yuan's dantian and continued to spread.

Just seconds later, the overflowing life force was completely contained, replaced by a terrifying suction force.

The spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles, a thousand miles, and ten thousand miles continuously flowed into Su Yuan's body, strengthening every cell in his body.

But that wasn't enough. A golden core glowing red floated out of Su Yuan's body, extending countless invisible, blood-red tentacles that surged into the bodies of every cultivator in the Great Void World.

Their spiritual power and physical strength were subtly extracted and transformed into resources for Su Yuan's breakthrough.

As the saying goes, a whale falls and all things come to life, but the anomalies that occur when a cultivator forms their Nascent Soul are the opposite of what is happening here.

All things fall, and the primordial spirit is born!

A cultivator's breakthrough is a process of plundering the creation of heaven and earth for their own use, a fact that is truly manifested in the Nascent Soul stage.

Even in the Blue Star Federation, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators that a main world like the Heavenly Law World can support is extremely limited.

Moreover, Su Yuan was no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

"This kid is much more impressive than I was when I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. It seems he can reach my level when I was at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage right after breaking through."

Star River Heavenly Lord marveled at Su Yuan's ever-increasing aura.

Tai Baiji, Su Yuan's master, felt both complicated and gratified.

At this moment, the disciple had completely surpassed himself; he was about to become an incompetent master.

After a long while, the commotion surrounding Su Yuan's breakthrough finally subsided.

Ten minutes later, the door to the quiet room was slowly pushed open, and a radiant figure led a young girl and a little girl out of it.

It was Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and Long Bai.

"Congratulations on your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage."

Xinghe Tianjun stepped forward, subtly pulling Chen Nuoyi and Long Bai behind him while offering his congratulations.

"From this day forward, you are the 284th Nascent Soul cultivator registered in the Blue Star Federation. Your name will be forever remembered in the history of the Blue Star Federation."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was also deeply moved and nodded heavily.

Immediately afterwards, the Star River Heavenly Lord said:
"Now you can choose your own Taoist name. I will personally verify it for you after we leave."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise:
"So the True Lord's title is chosen by himself? I thought it was decided by the higher-ups."

Star River Heavenly Lord: "Of course it's my own idea, as long as it doesn't overlap with the titles of other registered Nascent Soul True Lords."

Su Yuan nodded and began to think seriously.

Along the way, he encountered many 'original entities', including the Yuan Cult, the Crimson Yuan, and the Hunyuan...

And that happens to be his name.

Therefore, Su Yuan gave his answer after only a brief consideration.

“My title is… Shiyuan, which means the beginning of all things and the renewal of all things.”

The Primordial True Lord was born!
