Chapter 834 Qingxuan Transforms into a Divine Being, Changchun Breaks Through [Please Subscribe]

Kunwu Peak.

It was now the thirty-third year since the turbid and evil energy dissipated, and the concentration of spiritual energy on Kunwu Peak had increased by a full third.

In these thirty-three years, all kinds of geniuses of the human race have indeed sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and many cultivators whose cultivation had stagnated have broken through their original realms!

In just over thirty years, three mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have been promoted to Grand Cultivators. This speed was unimaginable in the past!

In the past thirty years, the Zhou family has gained as many as five Golden Core cultivators and four more fourth-order demonic beasts.

In fact, the family has discovered as many as ten members with superior spiritual root aptitude over the past thirty years!

Even more remarkably, a genius with top-grade fire-attribute spiritual root aptitude emerged from one of the Zhou family's affiliated cultivation families.

The patriarch of that family originally wanted to keep this news a secret, hoping to keep this family member in the family.

However, this person's parents were both cultivators, and his mother had some Zhou family blood. Of course, she didn't want her talented son to be buried by a small family.

After all, the highest-ranking person in their family was only at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

A cultivator with top-grade spiritual root aptitude will definitely be able to form a core if they don't die young, but to successfully form a nascent soul, they must have the support of a powerful force.

Therefore, the woman's mother remained outwardly calm, but secretly took the opportunity to inform a friend of the Zhou family, thus leaking the news to Zhou Yuanxin.

Zhou Yuanxin, of course, would not sit idly by and immediately sent a Golden Core elder to pick up the genius with the best spiritual root and his parents, but also bestowed a Core Formation spiritual item upon his family.

In this way, even if the news spreads, it will have a negligible impact on the Zhou family's reputation.

Some cultivators even envied that family.

After all, no matter how talented others are, they are still others, but the spiritual treasures that help one form a Core can truly benefit oneself!

However, at Zhou Chun's cultivation level, even if a new Nascent Soul cultivator was born in the family, it wouldn't bring him any surprises. So, although he knew about many things in the family, he just silently watched and didn't ask any questions.

Over the past thirty years, Zhou Chun has clearly felt that the power of the Great Dao Laws in the world has become much more active than before.

Based on his exchanges with Venerable Changchun and other Nascent Soul cultivators, he believes that future cultivators will have a much higher chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by comprehending the power of the Great Dao Laws than before.

At the same time, it will be easier for these Nascent Soul stage cultivators to continue to improve their cultivation than before, and they may even be able to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage!

Venerable Changchun was eager to try, and when the tide of spiritual energy descended, he would attempt to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If he succeeds, then there will be no doubt that humanity will unify this world.

It should be noted that even in the ancient times before the emergence of the turbid evil energy, the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm was the highest cultivation level that this world could accommodate.

At that time, there might have been thirty to fifty sixth-level experts in this realm, but the number of those at the late Nascent Soul stage could be counted on one hand!

Therefore, once Venerable Changchun successfully breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, those sixth-tier alien powerhouses will basically be unable to cause any trouble.

Zhou Chunhua has only recently attained the Dao and dares not think about breaking through his cultivation level. He is more focused on improving his strength and refining his magic weapons.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to cultivating his two natal spiritual treasures and can clearly feel their spirituality increasing.

He even began to study weapon crafting as a secondary skill, because the Tai Geng God Venerable told him that if he could reach the level of a Grandmaster of weapon crafting, he would be able to use a special weapon crafting secret method to nurture the spirituality of spiritual treasures.

Therefore, in order for his two natal spiritual treasures to be upgraded to Heavenly Spiritual Treasures in the future, Zhou Chun could only focus on improving his weapon-refining skills.

He had originally practiced weapon crafting, but he neglected it after focusing on cultivation.

Now, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation level, he is relearning this skill. With an unlimited supply of various materials and almost inexhaustible energy, his progress is extremely rapid.

In just over twenty years of cultivation, he has already become a master craftsman, capable of crafting mid-grade magic weapons.

At this rate, he should be able to forge a top-grade magic weapon in less than a hundred years!

As for spirit treasures, although he had experience in upgrading his natal magic weapon to a spirit treasure, that experience obviously could not be used in normal weapon crafting.

Furthermore, the materials for refining spiritual treasures are not something that even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can easily obtain in large quantities.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was also mentally prepared for a protracted battle.

Eleven years later, a piece of good news reached Zhou Chun's ears.

Ye Qingxuan, the current Grand Elder of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect, has successfully passed through the Three Tribulations of the Dao Inquiry and has successfully transformed into a Divine Being!

At this time, less than four hundred years had passed since Zhou Chunhua succeeded in becoming a god!

In just over three hundred years, the human race has produced two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in succession, which can be described as an unprecedented event in the ages!

After the news spread, cultivators from all over the human race celebrated with great joy, sincerely congratulating Ye Qingxuan, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator.

Unexpectedly, just two years later, the Forty-Nine Tribulations also fell in the Dragon Abyss Marsh, with a total of thirty-six lightning tribulations!

Zhou Chun then went to investigate and discovered that the newly promoted demon saint was actually an "acquaintance" of his.

Over there is the Ice and Fire Demon Ape whose lair he once raided!

This demon had left a very deep impression on him during the first racial war.

Now that he learned that this demon had advanced to the sixth-level demon saint, Zhou Chun was not too surprised.

Considering that this demon likely possesses both the power of the Ice Path and the power of the Fire Path, its strength will probably be extraordinary after it advances to the Demon Saint realm.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan also successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator. With his identity as a sword cultivator and the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure Flying Sword inherited from his sect, he was more than capable of standing up to this demon.

This made Zhou Chun and many other cultivators realize that the era of great strife had truly arrived!

For tens of thousands of years, the existence of turbid and evil energy has prevented the Great Dao of this world from manifesting, and most of the world's original power has been used to repair the loopholes.

As a result, the path to enlightenment for beings in this world becomes even more difficult.

However, as the turbid and malevolent energy dissipates, the laws of the Great Dao become active, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes richer, the difficulty of the path to enlightenment for beings in this world will decrease significantly.

Many seekers who were previously unable to move forward due to their environment will have the opportunity to embark on their path and take a further step on the great road during this great change in the world!

In the seventh year after Ye Qingxuan achieved the Dao Transformation, Zhou Chun himself visited the Nine Yuan Sword Sect and met with him.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ye, on achieving the Nascent Soul stage! Longevity is within your reach!"

Inside the Nine Yuan Sword Sect's mountain gate, Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan greeted each other with smiles as soon as they met.

In response to his congratulations, Ye Qingxuan returned the greeting with a solemn expression, saying, "My success in achieving the Nascent Soul stage is largely due to Fellow Daoist Zhou's great contributions. I will never forget your kindness in assisting me on the path to enlightenment, and I will certainly repay you in the future!"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are too kind. Your ability to achieve the Divine Dao Transformation is due to your solid foundation and extraordinary comprehension. I, Zhou, would not dare to take credit for this achievement."

Zhou Chun waved his hands repeatedly, unwilling to take credit.

He did help Ye Qingxuan a lot, but to be honest, he helped her because he felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her. In fact, he didn't give her much material help.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was grateful for his kindness and was very happy, but he did not take credit for it and believed that the other party had truly succeeded in becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator because of his help.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he knew very well that there was no shortcut to Nascent Soul cultivation!

Every cultivator who successfully transforms into a deity possesses the key factors for their success.

Seeing his humility, Ye Qingxuan didn't continue with the pleasantries, but simply nodded and said, "No matter what, I will always remember Fellow Daoist Zhou's kindness."

The two then exchanged their insights and understandings of the power of the laws of the Golden Path.

After the two finished their conversation, Zhou Chun looked at Ye Qingxuan and said, "Before coming here, Senior Changchun told me that the spiritual energy tide was approaching, and he needed to focus on his cultivation, so he wouldn't be seeing Fellow Daoist Ye for the time being. I will pass on some important information to Fellow Daoist Ye!"

"As for the right of us human Nascent Soul cultivators to choose Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, we will exercise that right on your behalf, Fellow Daoist Ye, after he emerges from seclusion. I hope Fellow Daoist Ye can understand!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan nodded in understanding and said, "Senior Changchun, cultivation is the most important thing. I have that sense of the bigger picture."

"I'm glad Fellow Daoist Ye understands!"

Zhou Chun's expression relaxed, and he immediately repeated all the precautions that Venerable Changchun had told him when he ascended to become an incarnation and went to meet him. He even mentioned the situation of the remaining two Heavenly Treasures to choose from.

It was also his good luck. If Ye Qingxuan had succeeded in becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator before him, then the [Great Roc Soaring to the Sky Sword] would definitely have been out of his reach.

However, to be honest, Ye Qingxuan did have a chance.

If Venerable Changchun successfully breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, then the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword can be left to Venerable Taigeng, who can then relinquish the Heavenly Crystal Spirit-Slaying Sword.

In that case, Zhou Chun would be willing to give the [Great Roc Soaring to the Sky Sword] to Ye Qingxuan.

Therefore, Zhou Chun also hinted at this matter during the conversation.

After staying at the Nine Yuan Sword Sect for more than a month, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to visit his disciple Zhou Zhiying and Silver Dragon Lord on Xuanfeng Island before returning to Kunwu Peak.

Three years later, Zhou Chun received some unfortunate news.

Nangong Wuqing, the Grand Elder of the Purple Qi Sect who once fought alongside him, perished in the "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi," leaving no trace of his body!

This is the third late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race to perish in the "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi" in decades.

After the turbid evil energy dissipated, Zhou Chun sent someone to inform Nangong Wuqing of what he had said to Ye Qingxuan, and the latter indeed quickly entered seclusion.

It seems that Nangong Wuqing still didn't have the opportunity and failed to take that step!

Considering their past friendship, Zhou Chun specially asked his son, Zhou Xinyuan, to go to the Ziqi Sect on his behalf to pay respects to his former comrade-in-arms.

This move also serves to support the Purple Qi Sect, preventing surrounding forces from immediately seeking to dredge up old grievances and cause trouble simply because of Nangong Wuqing's death.

Given Zhou Chun's reputation, once Zhou Xinyuan leaves, no force should dare to touch the Purple Qi Sect for the next one or two hundred years.

As for what comes after that, Zhou Chun isn't the patriarch of the Purple Qi Sect, so he can only see if the disciples of the Purple Qi Sect can live up to his expectations!

Eleven years later, Zhou Xinyuan's black dragon spirit pet also survived the Heavenly Tribulation and became the eighth fifth-order demon king of the Zhou family!

It was this black dragon spirit pet's tribulation that allowed Zhou Chun to see the real effect of drastic environmental changes on the increased power of lightning tribulations.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation of the Ink Dragon was much stronger than the tribulation that the Silver Dragon King had encountered. Fortunately, it had refined three top-grade magic treasures in advance, and by completely destroying one of them, it managed to get through it without any major danger.

It is evident that although environmental changes have increased the chances of many demonic beasts breaking free from their bloodline shackles, the increased power of the Heavenly Tribulation still prevents the number of fifth-tier demon kings from growing significantly.

Seven years later, the predicted tide of spiritual energy from heaven and earth finally arrived!

Compared to the colorful spiritual glow that filled the world that day, the arrival of the spiritual energy tide was more like a gentle, silent rain.

Or rather, the prelude to the increase in spiritual energy concentration over the previous decades has already been completed.

Now we've simply reached the peak of the tide!

In the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator like Zhou Chun, all he could feel was the surging of spiritual energy everywhere in the world. Some places that originally had no spiritual veins suddenly became filled with spiritual energy, turning into a blessed land for cultivation in the eyes of cultivators.

Perhaps in places like Kunwu Peak, where spiritual energy is particularly abundant, it is not yet very obvious.

However, in the ordinary environment outside, the concentration of spiritual energy was more than ten times higher than before the turbid evil energy dissipated!

The rich spiritual energy environment not only accelerates the cultivation speed of practitioners and makes it easier for them to break through, but also causes many plants and minerals to undergo changes under the nourishment of spiritual energy, turning them into spiritual herbs and minerals that cultivators need.

This change is happening all over the world. There are even reports that faint spiritual energy has appeared in the desolate desert of Feng Kingdom, and many places have begun to show signs of life.

This shows how significant the influence of the spiritual energy and tides of heaven and earth is on the world.

At this time, Zhou Chun also received a message from the Green-Robed Venerable, asking him to go outside Changchun Valley to help protect the Dharma and prevent the sixth-level alien expert from interfering with the Changchun Venerable's breakthrough.

Not only Zhou Chun, but also Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Ling Xiao Venerable (Ye Qingxuan) received the message and rushed to Changchun Valley together.

After the three human deities met outside Changchun Valley, they exchanged their insights and discoveries about the great changes in the world.

Since all three of them followed the path of metal, they all gained a lot from exchanging their cultivation experiences.

During this time, Zhou Chun also inquired about the injuries of Tai Geng Divine Lord.

Tai Geng, the God of Gods, was seriously injured and it was thought that he would need hundreds of years to recover.

However, thanks to the dissipation of the turbid evil energy and the activation of the power of the Great Dao Laws in the world, he gained considerable insights and benefits in his cultivation, and his recovery speed was much faster than expected.

Now, less than two hundred years later, his injuries have basically healed, and his combat strength has even increased somewhat.

After the three finished exchanging their cultivation experiences, Tai Geng God Venerable suddenly said, "I went to the Ice Plains in my avatar. Guanghan Venerable has been unsealed and is now attempting to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Upon hearing his words, both Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan's gazes sharpened slightly, and their expressions changed somewhat.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chun looked at Tai Geng and said, "We two juniors attained enlightenment relatively late and were unable to meet Venerable Guanghan. In your opinion, Senior Tai Geng, is Venerable Guanghan capable of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingxuan, who was standing beside him, quickly nodded and said, "Yes, we two juniors achieved enlightenment late, and we are completely clueless about cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul stage. Senior Tai Geng, could you please offer some guidance?"

Upon seeing this, the Divine Lord Tai Geng frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "The Venerable Guanghan is also an elder of our human race. Her cultivation has long reached the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, due to the environment of this world, it is too difficult for her to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is why she has been stuck at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

"Whether she will succeed this time, I dare not make a definitive judgment, but I privately speculate that the chances are not small!"

At this point, Tai Geng Divine Venerable shook his head slightly and said, "As for cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul stage, it's nothing more than what we're doing now: comprehending the laws of the Great Dao and condensing our magical power through the Dao runes within our bodies. The deeper our grasp of the power of the laws of the Great Dao, the faster our magical power will condense and accumulate. When our magical power can no longer advance any further, we will reach the barrier of our realm!"

"However, compared to those below the Nascent Soul stage who can break through realms with the help of elixirs and spiritual objects, those above the Nascent Soul stage can only rely on their personal comprehension to break through realm barriers. If one cannot thoroughly understand and comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, then there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through!"

These answers, while not entirely satisfactory, were also not particularly faulty.

Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan exchanged a glance, then said nothing more, simply bowing in thanks before each meditating to comprehend the Great Dao.

In the time that followed, Zhou Chun and the others could clearly feel a powerful force of the Wood Element Dao Law surging and changing within Changchun Valley.

According to Tai Geng Divine Venerable, this is a characteristic of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage who are breaking through the barrier of their realm, seeking resonance and echo from the Great Dao by verifying their own Great Dao with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

If this process is interrupted by external forces, it will trigger a backlash from the Great Dao, damaging one's own Dao foundation.

And as it turned out, the alien races did not give up their attention to Changchun Valley.

Three years after Zhou Chun and the others arrived outside Changchun Valley, they sensed the aura of the Golden Horned Dragon Saint.

The other party seemed to be there to investigate the situation, and as soon as Zhou Chun approached, they took the initiative to back away.

Zhou Chun was also worried about being ambushed, so he dared not pursue them too far.

Another half month passed, and then five sixth-level alien powerhouses, namely Golden Horned Dragon Saint, Ice and Fire Demon Ape, Fire Wave, Thunder Shock, and Wind Demon Lion, appeared together and openly attacked Changchun Valley!

"Old ghost Changchun, with us here today, you can forget about breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

In the sky, Lei Zhen, whose physical body had been destroyed by Venerable Changchun, roared angrily with a face full of resentment.

His current body is a result of possession, and without undergoing the "Crimson Tribulation" to refine it, the Daoist runes within his body have not yet been condensed, making it impossible for him to unleash his full potential.

However, his hatred for Venerable Changchun still made him rush over without hesitation.

Facing Lei Zhen's furious roar, Tai Geng Divine Lord coldly replied, "You alien races are truly unrepentant!"

"No need for further words, let's attack together!"

Huo Lan was the most decisive, immediately wielding his battle blade and launching an attack.

Then, the five sixth-level alien experts launched a joint attack on Changchun Valley.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened to the five sixth-level alien experts and Zhou Chun and the other two.

Within Changchun Valley, figures flashed, and soon two streaks of light, one green and one blue, emerged simultaneously.

The figure within that cyan escape light was none other than Venerable Lingfeng, wielding the [Nine Heavens Wind God Bow]!

"Lingfeng, you're here too!"

Tai Geng, the God of Gods, looked at the man holding the bow with a complex expression, his tone filled with surprise.

Clearly, he was unaware of this beforehand.

Lingfeng Venerable did not respond to him, but instead drew his bow and shot an arrow of law at the weakest Lei Zhen.

In this way, the situation became five against five. The sixth-level alien warriors not only had no advantage in numbers, but were also at a disadvantage in terms of individual combat strength.

After all, the five humans were basically at full strength, while Lei Zhen was not in good condition, and neither the Wind Demon Lion nor the Ice and Fire Demon Ape had any Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures!

The remaining Golden Horned Dragon Saint, although able to create a second primordial spirit clone, dared not let the Dragon God Pearl leave his body under the threat of the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword, lest the sword truly sever his true bloodline and Dao body.

In this situation, the only hope that the six-tier powerhouses from the alien races could have was to find an opportunity during the great battle to attack the Changchun Valley formation and interfere with Venerable Changchun's breakthrough.

However, under the management of Venerable Changchun for so many years, Changchun Valley can be described as an ironclad fortress. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator attacks with all their might, it cannot be broken in a short time. Moreover, Venerable Green Robe can also control the formation remotely.

As time went on, Lei Zhen, the weakest of the three, gradually found it difficult to withstand Ye Qingxuan's attacks.

After more than ten hours of fierce fighting, the five alien powerhouses had to withdraw from the battle prematurely due to Lei Zhen's failure to perform his duties!

In the time that followed, these powerful alien races tried every means to cause trouble, but they did not gain any advantage.

Venerable Changchun had been planning and arranging for this day for countless years, taking into account every aspect.

This can be seen from the fact that he was able to invite Venerable Lingfeng to protect him.

Zhou Chun even had reason to suspect that there might be some other means within Changchun Valley that could temporarily hold off a sixth-tier expert for a period of time!

In the eighth year since Zhou Chun and his group came to Changchun Valley to protect the Dharma, on a certain day when they continued to fight against the sixth-level alien experts, an extremely powerful fluctuation of the Wood Element Great Dao Law suddenly erupted in Changchun Valley.

Then Zhou Chun and the others witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Within a thousand miles of Changchun Valley, all plants suddenly began to grow wildly and mutate.

Some grasses that used to grow only a foot or so tall have grown to several feet tall!

There are also ancient trees that are hundreds of feet tall whose bark suddenly cracks open and grow a large number of vine-like branches, which look extremely eerie!

At this moment, the area where Changchun Valley is located is teeming with spiritual energy, radiating an incomparably rich vitality.

"Success! Senior Changchun has broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Zhou Chun, Tai Geng, and the others exchanged glances and cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

On the other hand, the five sixth-level alien experts all changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with fear.

It should be finished next week!
