Chapter 937: Purple Moon Fairy Forms Core

Ye Tong had been in the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years. During this time, several Core Formation cultivators in Wei State and neighboring countries attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but regrettably, none were successful.

If he remembered correctly, Guang Dongren's lifespan was also drawing to a close; unless he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage soon, he would perish.

Guang Dongren's cultivation path was unique, centered around consumption. The previous sect master of Hundred Spirits Gate had died from severe injuries sustained in the Sirius Secret Realm, almost leading to the collapse of the sect's lineage. It was Guang Dongren who single-handedly supported Hundred Spirits Gate, and his contributions were indispensable to its current standing.

Spiritual energy from within a hundred *li* converged above the Earth Fire Hall, forming a massive vortex.

After a while, the vortex slowly descended, gradually disappearing into the Earth Fire Hall.

Inside the Earth Fire Hall, a glowing red cauldron stood to one side, while a pile of decaying food lay scattered on the ground. Guang Dongren's stomach was distended, seemingly on the verge of bursting through his clothes. His face was solemn, his expression a complex mixture of excitement, agitation, and apprehension. After centuries of arduous cultivation, he finally had the opportunity to attempt the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Guang Dongren took a deep breath, ingested a lotus seed and a green pill, and then performed a hand seal.

With a thunderous rumble, the top of the Earth Fire Hall shattered. A powerful current of air surged in, and a stream of pure spiritual energy entered Guang Dongren's body. His body rapidly swelled, transforming into a massive fleshy sphere, his face contorted in an expression of intense pain, as though enduring unimaginable agony.

Golden light erupted from his body, and his form slowly returned to normal. However, immense spiritual energy soon poured into him, causing his body to swell once more. An intense itch, as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart, spread through his entire being.

Outside the Earth Fire Hall, Ye Tong stood on the peak, his face etched with worry.

Half an hour later, the vortex vanished, having fully merged into the Earth Fire Hall. A colossal black thundercloud then materialized above the hall, emitting a low, muffled rumble. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the sky itself seemed to change color.

"The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!" Ye Tong's expression grew solemn. To his knowledge, many Core Formation cultivators who had successfully overcome the inner demon trial had ultimately perished beneath the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. The thunder tribulation for the Core Formation stage was incomparable to that for the Nascent Soul stage, with the latter's power being more than ten times greater.

With a mighty roar of thunder, an immensely thick silver lightning bolt shot forth, striking the Earth Fire Hall. A blinding flash of silver lightning illuminated the area.

As time slowly passed, a colossal ball of silver lightning engulfed the Earth Fire Hall. Blasts of air rolled outwards, and dust billowed into the sky.

Less than half an hour later, the thundercloud dispersed, and the sky cleared. The lightning faded, leaving the entire Earth Fire Hall leveled to the ground, with only remnants of walls visible.

A somewhat disheveled figure flew out from the rubble. It was Guang Dongren, his clothes tattered, revealing his pale, prominent belly. A terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from him, clearly signifying his successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Guang Dongren threw his head back and laughed wildly. After centuries of arduous cultivation, he had finally reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Before him, several Core Formation cultivators in neighboring countries had failed their Nascent Soul breakthroughs, with some even perishing in the attempt.

"Congratulations, Senior Uncle Guang, on reaching the Nascent Soul stage!" Ye Tong exclaimed, flying over with an excited expression. "This is truly a blessing for our Hundred Spirits Gate, may the patriarch bless us!"

"Haha, Junior Nephew Ye, you've worked hard during my seclusion," Guang Dongren said with a laugh, his mood bright after his successful breakthrough.

"It's what a disciple should do, Senior Uncle Guang," Ye Tong replied. "Your residence has been destroyed. Please come to my place to rest first; I will send people to repair yours."

Guang Dongren nodded and flew towards Ye Tong's residence.

Over half a year later, astonishing news spread throughout Wei State: Guang Dongren, the sect master of Hundred Spirits Gate, had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. He was holding a Grand Nascent Soul Ceremony and had invited numerous high-level cultivators to celebrate.

In the Red Moon Sea, a blue streak of light swiftly traversed the sky before abruptly stopping.

A flash of blue light revealed the figures of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, as numerous colorful specks of light appeared in the void around them.

"Husband, this appears to be the celestial phenomenon of a Nascent Soul breakthrough," Wang Ruyan said with some surprise. "Is someone attempting to reach the Nascent Soul stage? If I recall correctly, the Cloudsea Sect's main headquarters is just ahead. Could it be Junior Sister Tian? Considering Immortal Violetmoon has been in seclusion for over a decade, it wouldn't be surprising for her to trigger this phenomenon."

Wang Changsheng had acquired insights into forming a Nascent Soul from Nangong Miao. While theoretical knowledge was valuable, witnessing another's breakthrough firsthand was an entirely different experience.

"It should be," Wang Changsheng replied. "Let's hurry back and teleport there to observe. Hopefully, we can gain some insight." Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan transformed into a blue streak of light, soaring through the sky and quickly vanishing into the distance.

At Cloudsea Sect, Wang Qingqing stood in a green stone pavilion, gazing worriedly at the massive vortex in the distance.

Immortal Violetmoon had treated her very well, teaching her the arts of artifact refining and puppetry without holding anything back. Wang Qingqing hoped Immortal Violetmoon would successfully form her Nascent Soul, as her breakthrough would benefit both the Wang family and the Cloudsea Sect.

As she watched, the enormous vortex slowly merged into the Cloudsea Hall.

Over half an hour later, a colossal dark cloud appeared above the Cloudsea Hall. The cloud violently churned, with faint flashes of silver lightning visible within. Thunder rumbled and winds swirled, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Upon seeing the dark cloud, Wang Qingqing felt a surge of oppression, finding it difficult to breathe.

"Qingqing, how is it? When did Junior Sister Tian trigger the Nascent Soul phenomenon?" Wang Changsheng's voice suddenly rang out. Wang Qingqing turned her head to see that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had appeared behind her without her noticing.

"Father, Mother, you're back?" Wang Qingqing said with some uncertainty. "Senior Aunt Tian triggered the Nascent Soul phenomenon over half an hour ago. I'm not sure if she'll be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage." She herself was uncertain if Immortal Violetmoon would succeed.

"I believe Junior Sister Tian will definitely succeed in reaching the Nascent Soul stage," Wang Ruyan said with a smile, her eyes fixed on the massive dark cloud, though a hint of fear flickered within them. "Let's wait for her good news! Observing this will be beneficial for our own attempts to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

With a resounding crash, a thick silver lightning bolt shot forth, striking the Cloudsea Hall and tearing a large hole through its structure.

A vast expanse of yellow mist then surged from the ground, enveloping the entire Cloudsea Hall.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as powerful silver bolts shot forth one after another. The silver lightning intensified, and the yellow mist gradually dispersed.

Less than half an hour later, the dark cloud violently churned, transforming into a vast sheet of silver lightning that descended. The lightning intensified dramatically, waves of spiritual energy rolled outwards, and continuous roars filled the air.

Wang Changsheng and the two others transformed into three streaks of light, flying towards Immortal Violetmoon's residence. What met their eyes was a chaotic pile of rubble, from which thick smoke billowed.

With a thunderous roar, a graceful figure flew out from the pile of rubble. It was Immortal Violetmoon.

A trace of blood stained the corner of her mouth, and her face was somewhat pale. Her clothes were slightly tattered, her voluptuous figure partially revealed as her full bust seemed ready to burst through her attire. A powerful spiritual pressure emanated from her, clearly indicating her successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon seeing Wang Changsheng, her pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly retrieved a long robe to cover her exposed form.
