Chapter 363 The Immortal Empress
In the most core area, the very essence of this world's Daoist principles showed a visible loosening and disorder.
This demonstrates just how profound the power of the laws contained within this strike has become.
The magical light shield flickered violently, its brightness fluctuating, and cracks spread across it.
Hu Mingyue's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood welled up in her throat, but she swallowed it back down.
Her face was completely bloodless, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"Hmph! A mere Nascent Soul Tribulation dares to challenge me?"
She snorted inwardly and made a move with a calm expression.
The radiance of the nascent soul was pushed to its limit, and the cracks on the divine light shield, which had spread to their extreme, finally managed to stabilize.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
When the destructive lightning finally exhausted its last bit of energy and dissipated into nothingness, the divine light shield also "clicked" and turned into countless points of light.
Hu Mingyue accepted.
She passed the eleventh Heavenly Tribulation, a feat unprecedented in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty's cultivation world.
Moreover, it was through the Nascent Soul itself confronting the might of Heaven, passing through in the most orthodox and perfect way of Heaven's guidance!
As the lightning tribulation dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to melt away.
Instead, an endless stream of the primordial essence of heaven and earth, seemingly accumulated over millennia, transformed into a vast and abundant downpour of sweet rain.
In the secret realm, the passage that Chen Yi opened with his black and white Yin-Yang divine soul not only did not close, but became even more stable due to the disappearance of the heavenly tribulation.
The purer and more vast Dao of Heaven and Earth from the outside world also flowed in through this channel, transforming into an even more turbulent torrent!
The two sources of Daoist energy, one internal and one external, one primary and one secondary, formed a perfect cycle, completely enveloping Hu Mingyue.
She sat cross-legged, relaxed, and no longer felt any resistance.
He allowed the vast Daoist energy to wash over, cleanse, and merge into his nascent soul.
Her nascent soul became solid and translucent at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its aura rose steadily, soon breaking through a certain limit.
An aura of detachment from worldly affairs began to emanate from her.
Her appearance, under the baptism of the Daoist aura, could no longer be concealed by any illusion or secret technique.
As the faint glow faded, what was revealed was an indescribable, peerless beauty.
That was a beauty that did not belong to the mortal world. Between her brows and eyes, there was an innate nobility and aloofness, as if she were a goddess from the heavens who controlled the wind, moon and stars, who had accidentally fallen to earth.
As it was enveloped by the endless Daoist principles of heaven and earth, this quality became increasingly ethereal and sacred.
She didn't seem like a cultivator from the Great Green Realm.
She was a true celestial being who had fallen to earth.
Chen Yi, watching from a distance, only glanced at the breathtaking scene a few times before looking away.
He didn't even have time to be shocked by it.
Because the real feast has begun.
These eleven tribulations of heaven and earth lightning, a sight rarely seen throughout history, attracted an immense amount of Dao essence. It was simply impossible for Hu Mingyue alone to absorb them all in a short period of time.
The Daoist aura that dissipated was his greatest reward for this trip.
Chen Yi closed his eyes.
The next moment, his nascent soul also began to operate wildly, its divine soul power reaching out to accurately capture the scattered Daoist essence of heaven and earth.
He began to perceive, analyze, and devour these most primal energies in large quantities, using them to perfect and inscribe his own innate rune powers.
Chen Yi took advantage of Hu Mingyue's unprecedented opportunity to form his Nascent Soul, and smoothly hitched a ride on her coattails.
Together with her, we began our spiritual practice in this ocean of Taoist principles.
In Chen Yi's divine perception, the original essence of the Dao of Heaven and Earth was stripped away from a blurry double image and revealed as clear lines.
That's the framework of the rules.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged, and deep within his sea of consciousness, the speed at which the Refining God Technique circulated had already surpassed its previous limits.
The yin-yang sphere in his soul, which was originally in a state of balance, is now undergoing a tremendous reshaping.
Black and white are no longer simply opposites.
They undergo fission through extremely rapid interaction.
The gray chaos, originally formed from the condensation of the five elements, was completely shattered at this moment.
Gray represents the interplay of Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang then evolve into the Five Elements.
This is not a simple cycle of reincarnation, but a higher level of life evolution.
A vibrant green bursts forth from the gaps between the black and white, followed by fiery red and heavy earthy yellow.
Sharp metal, deep blue.
Five colors flow and change, life goes on and on.
Chen Yi's consciousness was immersed in this wondrous, creator-like feeling.
The Refining Spirit Technique silently crossed that formidable bottleneck.
Yin and Yang give rise to supernatural powers.
This marks the beginning of a completely new realm in his use of divine sense.
Chen Yi's fingertips trembled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, his divine sense evolved into a completely different Dao rhythm according to his will.
These Daoist principles are no longer inanimate objects.
They possessed sentience.
It transforms into an invincible force in offense, an unyielding rock in defense, and a rejuvenating force in healing.
Each change is far more powerful than any previous combination of spells.
This is a qualitative leap.
Chen Yi's spiritual strength is steadily advancing towards the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Deep within the sea of consciousness, a vague outline is quietly taking shape.
That was his true divine soul.
A sudden realization dawned on Chen Yi's mind.
When this world of spirits truly evolves into a complete universe, when that original being is completely solidified.
That is when one's divine sense advances to the fifth level.
The Yin spirit leaves the body.
That means the soul can break free from the constraints of the physical body and exist independently between heaven and earth.
No longer confined to the small space of a physical body.
Cultivation, combat, and enlightenment can all be accomplished independently by the Yin Spirit.
That is the foundation upon which a powerful being can create avatars and attain immortality.
At the same time, the Dao patterns of Chen Yi's nascent soul were also undergoing dramatic changes.
The advancement of his divine sense allowed him to see more of the subtle patterns hidden in the void.
Taking advantage of Hu Mingyue's formation of her infant form, he greedily seized upon those elusive rules.
The healing Dao patterns on the Cangmu tree trembled, and its originally slender branches began to take root deep into the void, absorbing the most primal life essence.
The Purple Extreme Thunder Whip Dao patterns roared, each bolt of lightning tinged with a faint purple, representing the ultimate balance between destruction and rebirth.
Concealment techniques are no longer simply about hiding one's aura, but rather an attempt to blend the body into the folds of space.
The scope of our perception of heaven and earth is expanding wildly.
Under the infusion of Daoist energy, the four basic Dao patterns surged upwards at an astounding pace.
Each Dao pattern is advancing.
Each of them has reached the level of late-stage Nascent Soul supernatural powers.
Chen Yi's gaze kept falling on Hu Mingyue.
He observed every detail of Hu Mingyue's nascent soul communicating with heaven and earth.
That was a textbook example of perfect resonance.
Before forming her nascent soul, Hu Mingyue had intended to test him.
She didn't know how much benefit Uncle Chen would gain from this great stroke of luck.
But she could never have predicted that things would turn out this way.
Chen Yi not only understood the secret of her Nascent Soul advancement.
Even at the most crucial moment, he stepped in to complete the final piece of her Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul puzzle.
This performance has completely shattered Hu Mingyue's understanding of this cultivator from the lower realm.
Such insight and such methods should not appear in this barren land.
The lingering power of the lightning tribulation had not yet dissipated.
The sky suddenly became unpredictable.
The dark clouds were no longer a heavy gray-black, but rather exuded a chilling gloom.
The clouds churned.
It looked as if countless twisted figures were struggling within it.
Heavenly Demon Tribulation.
This is the most terrifying moment for every monk.
An extremely powerful demonic will fell from the void, ignoring all physical defenses, and directly drilled into the depths of Hu Mingyue's soul.
Chen Yi held his breath.
He could sense that evil, greedy, and all-consuming emotion.
however.
Less than ten breaths had passed.
At the level of his soul, Chen Yi heard a scream that was extremely shrill.
It was a terror that came from the depths of one's soul; the voice trembled.
"No!!"
"What are you doing here?!"
That was a desperate plea for mercy.
That was the instinctive fear one felt when facing someone in a superior position.
The screams abruptly stopped, and the eerie clouds in the sky instantly disintegrated.
The Heavenly Demon Tribulation has ended.
At this moment, Hu Mingyue had completed her final transformation.
The nascent soul within her body was completely released.
That tiny infant body was spreading its arms wide, frantically devouring the Daoist energy falling from the heavens and earth.
She is improving.
She is reinventing herself.
From the soul to the appearance, from the nascent soul to the physical body.
At this moment, she could no longer conceal her presence.
That unique, aloof celestial aura, belonging only to the upper realm, swept across the entire secret realm like a tidal wave.
She sat cross-legged in the void.
Pure and immaculate.
Noble and aloof.
Her every breath stirred the flow of Daoist energy within a hundred miles. The spiritual energy within the secret realm rejoiced.
The rules are about submission.
She slightly opened her eyes, and there was no emotion in them like that of an ordinary person.
Deep within the pupils, the long river of time, spanning millennia, flows on.
That's in the past.
That is the future.
That is eternity.
At this time, Hu Mingyue's appearance had undergone subtle yet astonishing changes.
She was like a goddess descending from the heavens, exuding an aura of unparalleled power and inviolability.
This quality makes this world seem so humble.
She stood there, and became the center of heaven and earth.
She is an arrogant being that even the Heavenly Dao cannot bear.
Every move she made exuded an aura of power that transcended the cycle of reincarnation.
Standing not far away, Chen Yi could clearly feel the suppression in terms of status, which was a discontinuity in the level of life.
Hu Mingyue floated quietly in mid-air, receiving the baptism of heaven and earth.
Her skin shimmered with a radiant glow.
Her long hair moved freely in the void without wind, each strand seemingly containing the power to shatter stars.
At this moment, she is a true goddess.
No longer the carefree junior who used to play around at Chen Yi's restaurant.
Rather, they are the rulers who look down upon all living beings.
The torrent of Daoist energy permeating the world is visibly receding.
That profound feeling that filled the secret realm and permeated the soul was like the receding tide, slowly disappearing away.
Chen Yi's penetrating divine eye pierced through the aftershocks of the energy.
He opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is Hu Mingyue's figure.
That one glance made Chen Yi's breath catch in his throat.
She sat cross-legged in mid-air, surrounded by a faint, seven-colored glow. Beneath her skin, countless profound Dao patterns seemed to flow and disappear. It was not a phenomenon constructed by magic, but a radiance originating from the essence of life.
Her face was so exquisite that words could not describe it; any more would be too alluring, any less would be too plain—it was a perfect, natural beauty.
What shocked Chen Yi even more were those eyes.
Even when it was tightly closed, he could feel the indifference and majesty contained within, a gaze that overlooked eternity and held sway over reincarnation.
This was no longer the Hu Mingyue he knew.
This is an absolute crushing defeat in terms of life hierarchy.
A sense of alienation that made him instinctively want to worship, yet dared not approach because of its extreme coldness.
Nine Heavens Goddess?
No, this vocabulary still seems inadequate.
In Chen Yi's mind, only one more absurd yet perfectly apt thought remained—this was a true immortal god walking among mortals.
His guess about Hu Mingyue's identity was completely overturned at this moment, and then elevated to a level that even he himself found unbelievable.
Fifteen minutes later.
The oppressive aura originating from the depths of one's bloodline and soul slowly subsided.
Hu Mingyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyes, which held the birth and death of stars, slowly opened.
Her gaze immediately met Chen Yi's undisguised look of shock.
She didn't speak immediately.
With a mere sweep of his divine sense within his body, he perceived everything.
Its aura leaked out, its true form was revealed, and its very essence was seen.
Almost instinctively, ingrained in her soul over millions of years, a thought surfaced in her mind.
You mere mortal cultivator from the lower realm dare to look directly at my true face with your naked eyes.
Their eyes should be gouged out and their soul imprisoned, as an example to others!
It was just a thought; no action was taken.
An invisible, chilling killing intent instantly materialized into sharp needles, piercing deep into Chen Yi's soul.
Chen Yi's body stiffened abruptly.
His blood froze instantly, and excruciating pain, like being slowly sliced apart, shot through his limbs. He felt a piercing, almost unbearable pain in his eye sockets, as if his eyes would be gouged out by an invisible force in the next instant.
The shadow of death had never loomed over him so clearly.
however.
Just as that power was about to erupt.
Another torrent exploded in Hu Mingyue's mind.
Those were all the memories belonging to "Hu Mingyue" in this lifetime.
From learning to speak to beginning cultivation, from the little things in the sect to the hardships of striving to form a Nascent Soul.
Finally, the image freezes on the most crucial moment of the infant's demise.
The man whom her father called "Brother Chen" and whom she called "Uncle Chen" used his own soul as a bridge to guide her to the Dao of Heaven and Earth, helping her complete this crucial step.
That murderous intent, powerful enough to freeze one's soul, melted away quietly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
She sighed softly to herself.
Reincarnated and reborn, she originally intended to sever all ties with her past life and avoid any karmic entanglement.
Unexpectedly, he eventually developed an indelible entanglement with this mortal cultivator from the lower realm.
So be it.
Hu Mingyue's beautiful eyes looked at Chen Yi again, the indifference that once looked down on all living beings had disappeared, replaced by a profound coldness.
A voice rang directly in Chen Yi's ears, penetrating his very soul without passing through the air.
You must keep everything about me a secret.
"If even the slightest leak is made, you could face utter ruin."
