Chapter 2763: Seven Star Saber Form

A quarter of an hour later, the thundercloud was only dozens of yards wide, with two lightning tribulations remaining.

Wang Ruyan's face was pale. A palm-sized, nine-colored jade bottle floated above her head, projecting a nine-colored luminous glow that enveloped her entire body. The nine-colored jade bottle shimmered with spiritual light, its surface intricately carved with exquisite patterns, seemingly crafted by nature itself.

This was the Nine-Light Bottle, a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, refined primarily from Nine-Light Divine Mud. After the Wang family acquired the Forbidden Divine Stone mine, they dispatched clan members to extract Forbidden Divine Stones. These stones were then traded with Zhenhai Palace for artifact refining materials, finally gathering all the necessary components for Wang Changsheng to forge the Nine-Light Bottle.

A deafening roar of thunder echoed from high above. A six-colored lightning spear, as thick as a millstone, shot out from the thundercloud. With a flicker, it struck the nine-colored aura, sending ripples across it. The six-colored lightning spear exploded, transforming into blinding six-colored lightning that enveloped an area several miles in radius.

The thundercloud churned violently, constant peals of thunder reverberated, their sound echoing for thousands of miles.

As the six-colored lightning dissipated, Wang Ruyan stood unharmed, enveloped in a nine-colored spiritual glow, with the Nine-Light Bottle floating above her head. Seeing this, Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The Nine-Light Bottle's effectiveness was even better than he had imagined; Wang Ruyan overcoming the final lightning tribulation would be no issue.

A massive six-colored lightning python emerged from the thundercloud, its body enveloped by countless six-colored electrical arcs, exuding a violent aura. The six-colored lightning python descended from high above, streaking directly towards Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan held the Heavenly Sound Flute and began playing it, and a rapid flute melody rang out. Waves of blue sound spread outwards, like an unending torrent, surging towards the six-colored lightning python. The six-colored lightning python struck through dozens of blue sound waves, but the blue sound waves were inexhaustible. The six-colored lightning python's body was torn apart, exploding.

A thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth, as a blinding six-colored lightning burst forth, illuminating the dark night as if it were day.

A moment later, a streak of blue light emerged from the six-colored lightning, landing before Wang Changsheng. It was Wang Ruyan. She exuded a terrifying aura, her face pale, her body covered by a light blue water barrier, and the Nine-Light Bottle resting in her right hand.

"The Nine-Light Bottle's effectiveness in defending against lightning tribulations is indeed impressive. If it were a treasure refined from East-Yi Divine Wood, its defensive capabilities against lightning tribulations would surely be even better," Wang Ruyan said with a weak smile.

Wang Changsheng nodded. "With this treasure in hand, Qingshan, Mengbin, and others will also have an easier time attempting to reach the Integration Stage in the future."

They departed from Tianshu Island and returned to Green Lotus Island. Having just advanced to the Integration Stage, Wang Ruyan needed to enter seclusion for a period to solidify her cultivation.

On Green Lotus Island, within a vast estate, Wang Moushan, Wang Mousen, Wang Youxin, Chen Ruyi, and a clear-eyed, handsome young boy sat in a green stone pavilion. The boy, dressed in golden robes, held a foot-long wooden sword in his hand.

"Good child, place your right hand on the Spirit Testing Disc and let me examine your aptitude," Wang Moushan said with a kind expression, taking out a shimmering silver disc.

The golden-robed boy looked at Wang Youxin, who nodded. "Listen to the family head, let him take a look."

The golden-robed boy extended his right hand and placed it on the Spirit Testing Disc. Wang Moushan infused spiritual power into it, and the Spirit Testing Disc lit up with dazzling spiritual light, its runes flickering.

After a moment, the spiritual light of the Spirit Testing Disc dimmed, and the golden-robed boy withdrew his hand. Wang Moushan glanced at the disc; its surface displayed seven golden light points, arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper.

"It's truly a Spirit Physique! Heaven blesses our Wang family! Haha!" Wang Moushan exclaimed, excited.

Generally, newborn clan members have their spiritual roots tested collectively after reaching six years of age. Those with spiritual roots can then cultivate. High-level cultivators, however, have methods to test spiritual roots in advance. Four years ago, Wang Mousen gave Wang Xiangao a Nine Dragon Pill. After Wang Xiangao took the pill and consummated with Chen Ruyi, she gave birth to a son. During his first birthday ritual, he grabbed a wooden sword, and Wang Youxin named him Wang Dao. When Wang Dao turned three, Wang Youxin and Chen Ruyi used a secret technique to test his aptitude, discovering to their surprise that Wang Dao possessed a Spirit Physique. They then invited Wang Mousen, who confirmed the result. Wang Mousen reported to Wang Moushan, and the result was the same.

"A Seven-Star Blade Physique! Haha, our Wang family finally has a Spirit Physique cultivator!" Wang Moushan burst into laughter, his heart filled with excitement. He had often envied other major powers when he heard they had Spirit Physique cultivators. Now, the Wang family finally had one. The family possessed a cultivation technique, "The Eight Desolations Demon Slaying Spirit Scripture," which was perfectly suited for Wang Dao.

"According to the generational naming tradition, your name will be Wang Yidao," Wang Mousen said with a smile, his face filled with pride. He never imagined that a Spirit Physique would appear in his lineage. Over the years, even those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots or Variant Spiritual Roots in the Wang family who took the Nine Dragon Pill had not produced a Spirit Physique. Yet, Wang Youxin, after taking the Nine Dragon Pill and consummating with Chen Ruyi, produced a Spirit Physique. As long as he was properly nurtured and no unforeseen circumstances arose, it was only a matter of time before Wang Yidao advanced to the Integration Stage.

"Yidao, Yidao... a Seven-Star Blade Physique, cultivating 'The Eight Desolations Demon Slaying Spirit Scripture.' That's a good name. Though this child is quite introverted; he speaks too little," Wang Moushan said, looking kindly at Wang Yidao.

Wang Yidao silently held the wooden sword in both hands.

"This child has been like this since he was small, speaking very little. However, he is very obedient. If properly nurtured, he will surely become a pillar of our family in the future," Wang Mousen said in a deep voice. Wang Yidao was a Spirit Physique, and his cultivation speed would be faster than his own; surpassing him was only a matter of time. Possessing a Spirit Physique was tantamount to guaranteeing an Integration Stage cultivator. Most Spirit Physique cultivators, once they achieve success in cultivation, possess powerful divine abilities, far surpassing ordinary cultivators of their generation. A minority of Spirit Physiques might have weaker divine abilities, but their cultivation speed is still relatively fast. Such Spirit Physique cultivators tend to rely more on external aids, such as Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, spirit beasts, formations, or puppet beasts.

In the same environment and with the same resources, a Spirit Physique cultivator's cultivation speed is far superior to that of an ordinary cultivator. However, throughout history, some Spirit Physique cultivators have failed to grow up successfully, often being stifled in the cradle. Therefore, all major powers select top experts to provide close protection for Spirit Physiques, preventing any accidents and not easily allowing them to venture out alone. Great powers would even strictly conceal the existence of Spirit Physiques, only allowing them freedom of movement once they reach a certain cultivation realm.

Wang Moushan took out a shimmering communication disc from his怀里 and sent in a spiritual command. Wang Changsheng's voice came through, "Moushan, our family now has a second Integration Stage cultivator! Release the news and send someone to inform Zhenhai Palace."

"What? Our family has a second Integration Stage cultivator? That's wonderful! Ancestor, I was just about to report to you that our family has a Spirit Physique! The Seven-Star Blade Physique, Wang Yidao!" Wang Moushan said excitedly.
