Chapter 1195: How Big Is the Nascent Soul?

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged deep within the black hole, his eyes closed. He observed the immense and vast Ancestral Qi extracting itself from the nine main arteries and surging towards him with overwhelming force.

Such a powerful influx of Ancestral Qi was so immense that even Jiatu, who had been there before, would not have dared to directly withstand its might.

Yet, Zhou Yuan remained unmoved, not even circulating Genesis Qi throughout his body, allowing the torrent of Ancestral Qi to wash over him.

Rings of divine glazed halos emerged on his body.

The Sacred Glazed Body!

At this moment, Zhou Yuan's most powerful asset was not his Genesis Qi or Spirit cultivation, but his Sacred Glazed Body. This physical strength was comparable to that of the Nascent Source stage, meaning he had already surpassed the Heavenly Sun stage.

Looking back, the previous conflicts now seemed like mere child's play.

Boom! Boom!

The torrent impacted his body. Zhou Yuan's figure remained unmoving, yet his body seemed to transform into a bottomless vortex, indiscriminately devouring all the incoming Ancestral Qi.

The Ancestral Qi surged and flowed through his meridians.

The Ancestral Qi, like a rampaging wild bull, crashed unrestrainedly. Had Zhou Yuan not condensed his true Sacred Glazed Body, his meridians would undoubtedly have been damaged by such power. But now, the resilience and spaciousness of his meridians were more than ten times greater than before.

Consequently, after circulating twice within such resilient meridians, the unruly Ancestral Qi had its wildness worn away and then obediently flowed into his Divine Dwelling.

Inside his Divine Dwelling, three Heavenly Suns quietly hovered.

As Ancestral Qi continuously poured in, the three Heavenly Suns absorbed and expelled it, causing the dragon patterns on their surfaces to gradually spread.

The spreading was not fast, but Zhou Yuan felt no anxiety. The formidable enemy had retreated, and they had ample time and Ancestral Qi to enjoy the spoils of this victory.

As the one with the greatest merit in this war, Zhou Yuan rightfully claimed the largest share of the benefits.

No one with a shred of sense would raise a single objection to this.

Time rapidly flowed by as the Ancestral Qi continuously descended.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Throughout this past month, the forces of the five great heavens were immersed in an atmosphere of immense joy.

Because almost every day, someone would complete a breakthrough and enter the Nascent Source stage.

Of course, most of these individuals had already been immersed in the late Heavenly Sun stage for many years, lacking only a natural opportunity for advancement. The current torrent of Ancestral Qi undoubtedly provided them with the most perfect chance.

Such a large-scale advancement to the Nascent Source stage was a rarely seen spectacle. Thus, even those who hadn't broken through felt it was a feast for their eyes.

While watching the birth of Nascent Source stage experts one after another, they also curiously counted the newly formed Nascent Sources.

The Nascent Source stage is achieved when Yin and Yang intertwine within the Heavenly Sun, and through their fusion, a Nascent Source embryo, condensed from pure innate Genesis Qi, is born.

Once the Nascent Source forms, the internal and external worlds connect, and the power of any Genesis Arts unleashed will experience an explosive increase.

The Nascent Source stage is generally divided into the Minor Nascent Source stage, the Major Nascent Source stage, and the Great Perfection of Nascent Source stage.

A Nascent Source below five inches is considered a Minor Nascent Source.

Between five and eight inches is a Major Nascent Source.

Reaching eight inches is considered entering the Great Perfection of Nascent Source stage. Some powerful Nascent Source experts can cultivate their Nascent Source to nine inches, making them top-tier figures within the Nascent Source stage.

However, nine inches is not the limit.

According to ancient records, the limit of the Nascent Source stage is nine point nine inches.

Some who have thoroughly studied ancient and modern texts discovered that the Saints who left behind illustrious reputations in history all achieved a Nascent Source exceeding nine point five inches during their time in the Nascent Source stage. Therefore, an unwritten rule emerged: if one could cultivate their Nascent Source to above nine point five inches in the Nascent Source stage, it indicated that this person possessed the potential to become a Saint.

Of course, the Saint stage was too elusive; some believed this conclusion, while many others did not.

Logically speaking, reaching the Saint level no longer required simple accumulation, but rather a convergence of heaven and earth's destiny and fortune.

After all, that was the most pinnacle existence in the entire world.

However, the so-called nine-inch Nascent Source was too distant for the current forces of the five great heavens. After watching for a month, they found that almost ninety percent of those who entered the Nascent Source stage had Nascent Sources less than one inch in size.

Only a very small number of individuals with strong foundations managed to exceed one inch.

And that seemingly minute difference in size represented a world of difference in meaning.

But the crowd was not disappointed by this, for they knew that the true bigshots hadn't even started their performance yet.

As they thought of this, their gaze turned towards Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong, Su Youwei, and the others. Finally, they simultaneously looked towards the depths of the void black hole, where vast Ancestral Qi surged and faint dragon roars echoed.

What they were more curious about was how many inches the miracle-working Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yuan would achieve if he entered the Nascent Source stage.

Their wait did not last long.

Ten days later, the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth began to boil.

Six powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations erupted almost simultaneously, directly stirring up Genesis Qi hurricanes between heaven and earth.

Countless trembling gazes were cast towards them, as this commotion far surpassed any previous breakthrough.

"It's Captain Bai Xiaolu and the others breaking through!"

A voice filled with anticipation rang out.

Boom! Boom!

Just as that voice fell, six colossal Genesis Qi pillars, each about a thousand zhang tall, shot skyward, revealing various phenomena. A moment later, the Genesis Qi pillars gradually began to shrink...

Following the light pillars with their gaze, they saw six figures standing in mid-air: Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong, and the others.

At this moment, their eyes were closed as the massive Genesis Qi beams continuously contracted, finally converging at the crowns of their heads.

An extremely powerful Genesis Qi pressure continuously swept out, causing everyone to feel a suffocating sense of oppression. Even those who had previously broken through to the Nascent Source stage had solemn expressions and began to concentrate on resisting.

The Genesis Qi beams finally completely retracted into the bodies of Bai Xiaolu and the other five.

The next moment, spiritual light flashed above their crowns, and six Nascent Sources, identical in appearance to them, sprang forth and sat cross-legged above their heads.

The Nascent Sources were crystal clear, filled with a spiritual luster, their bodies appearing both solid and illusory. When sitting quietly, they seemed to merge with heaven and earth, and with every movement, they could stir the vast and endless Genesis Qi between heaven and earth.

Countless curious gazes fell upon the six Nascent Sources.

Then, exclamations of awe rang out one after another.

Guan Qinglong, two point eight inches.

Chu Qing, two point nine inches.

Bai Xiaolu, three inches.

Su Youwei, three point five inches.

Wu Yao, three point six inches.

Zhao Mushen, four inches.
