In that vast and boundless space of wandering souls, sixteen flying swords danced gracefully like swimming dragons, weaving magnificent tapestries in the air. Each sword seemed to contain the power of an independent universe, competing to display its brilliance.
Light intertwined, shadows mingled, weaving intricate and profound arrays, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the scroll of history was slowly unfurling.
The power of endless years surged from the depths of the secluded soul realm, converging into this river flowing with the past and the future, making it even more crystal clear, as if naturally formed.
Upon the river, three thousand forbidden-armor cultivators sat in meditation like pine trees, situated in the gently flowing water, like guardians protecting ancient secrets.
And Long Tianqi, this leading figure, with a mere thought and a wave of his hand, caused the three thousand cultivators to leap from the river like stars.
It was because Li Chengfeng was about to embark on an unknown journey of advancement. The unknown variables forced everyone to temporarily retreat, observing from hundreds of miles away, using their divine senses to explore everything that was about to happen.
At this moment, the river of history suddenly rippled with an eerie wave, but it did not dissipate into nothingness. Instead, a shadow abruptly leaped out from it. It was the embodiment of an evil spirit, sitting cross-legged, greedily devouring every bit of power in the world, as if to bring the entire world under its control.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng's figure gradually stretched in the distance, and an unspeakable, cold aura permeated the air. A demonic shadow quietly took shape. It was his inner demon, powerful and strange, like an unshakable mountain of mutton-fat jade, inspiring awe.
As these shocking scenes unfolded one by one, the sky suddenly dimmed, and a deep force of darkness surged like a tide.
But it was instantly devoured by the power surging within Li Chengfeng's body. This was the first movement of his Twelve Moon Chapters—"Enlightenment"—darkness and light intertwined, like the song of Jian Gaoge, resounding through the clouds, proclaiming a dual sublimation of soul and power.
Long Tianqi, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but nod in admiration: "As expected, Little Master is extraordinary. To be able to abandon distracting thoughts at such a critical moment, his Dao heart is so firm, truly a model for us all."
The two half-step God Transformation deputies beside him also echoed in unison, filled with infinite expectations and reverence for the Little Master's future.
"Although the Old Ancestor is strong, he is still inferior to Little Master," Long Tianqi continued, "The Old Ancestor is compassionate and his actions are always limited by benevolence and righteousness, which is why he was plotted against.
But Little Master has clear goals and decisive methods, yet he doesn't lose his sense of proportion. Such a leader will surely lead us to a more glorious future."
After saying that, a determined look flashed in his eyes, "The hatred of the North Sea must be told to Little Master. Only he can lead us to avenge the Old Ancestor!"
In a secluded corner of that deep and unpredictable space, the deputy's voice was low and firm, like the echo of an ancient war drum, shaking every inch of the surrounding air.
"This time, Little Master's advancement to Nascent Soul is truly a heaven-defying act, fraught with dangers, like walking on the edge of a blade.
Although this place has been cleansed by Little Master's supreme divine power to be almost pure, the path of advancement is tantamount to reshaping the universe. The transformation of his strength will surely shock the world, and perhaps he can stand shoulder to shoulder with us, to glimpse the secrets of the Heavenly Dao."
Long Tianqi's expression was solemn, and his brow was furrowed with an unresolved worry, but it was instantly replaced by a touch of determination.
"Indeed, this road is full of thorns, and the Heavenly Dao is intolerant, but I, Long Tianqi, firmly believe that Little Master is the chosen one, and he will surely turn danger into safety with extraordinary grace.
In the past, all the battles Little Master has experienced have been victories of the weak over the strong. Even when trapped in desperate situations, he can always find a way out and create new glories. That kind of indomitable will is beyond the reach of us mortals."
After saying that, Long Tianqi's gaze penetrated the void, as if he could see the future. That confidence and loyalty were as firm as a rock.
"Every breakthrough of Little Master is earth-shattering and makes the enemy tremble. Even if he encounters schemes and is trapped, he can be reborn from the ashes, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
This advancement will surely open up an unprecedented path, leading us to new glories."
On the other side, Li Chengfeng seemed to be in another world, his mind completely immersed in a deep understanding of Dao techniques.
Within his body, ten golden cores, as bright as stars, slowly rotated, each containing immense power, the crystallization of his many years of hard cultivation.
However, on the journey to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, he still needed to condense another ten Nascent Souls to complete this shocking transformation.
Unfortunately, before the plan could be completed, he was drawn by the hand of fate to this mysterious space, losing the opportunity to continue cultivating the Heaven and Earth Dragon Beast Secret Technique.
Faced with this sudden change, Li Chengfeng felt helpless, but he was not desperate.
He knew that the world was unpredictable, and only by adapting to the times could he stand in an invincible position.
So, with a thought, ten wandering souls emerged from the void. They were the specters he had carefully nurtured for a long time. They shared the same origin and cultivated the same techniques, and were once his strongest support.
These specters were originally prepared by him as an aid for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, but they were exposed to the world prematurely for various reasons. Although they were strong, they unfortunately encountered even more powerful opponents, and eventually could only become prisoners.
But Li Chengfeng did not give up on them. Instead, he kept them until today, as the key to his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
He planned to use the Nine Infant Secret Technique at a critical moment to refine these wandering souls one by one, integrate them into himself, and achieve the supreme Dao.
As the cultivation technique continued to deepen, a roar suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, like the beginning of the universe, the awakening of all things.
Li Chengfeng's golden core, the crystallization of his countless cultivations and efforts, began to slowly transform, its shape twisting and changing, as if undergoing some ancient and mysterious ritual.
At the same time, those wandering souls floating around, feeling the same origin aura of the golden core, were attracted by it, turning into streams of light, and were ruthlessly and greedily devoured by the golden core.
This devouring not only enhanced the foundation of the golden core, but also formed a closer connection between it and the nine sub-golden cores.
They each rotated according to their established trajectories, like stars orbiting, and after absorbing the essence of the ten wandering souls, an unprecedented majestic force burst out from the golden core group, soaring into the sky, causing the world to change color.
This force seemed to be able to devour all darkness, absorbing all the surrounding dark forces, causing the surface of the golden core to constantly wriggle, as if breathing with life.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Li Chengfeng's forehead, but he had no time to pay attention to it, immersing himself wholeheartedly in this transformation.
Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the main golden core took the lead in completing the transformation. It broke away from its original form and turned into a crystal clear, lifelike Nascent Soul.
Its size was actually six inches long, far exceeding the one-inch Nascent Soul of ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Even the powerhouses in the later stage of Nascent Soul were difficult to match.
This scene shocked the three forbidden cultivators led by Long Tianqi who were watching from afar. They widened their eyes, watching this scene in disbelief.
