Chapter 141 Four Women Forming Infants
Qin Xiao himself was not idle either.
While instructing the women, he continued to work with Fairy Yaoguang to refine the details of the "Reverse Yuan Anti-Spirit Array".
They began to use materials from the Xuanji Pavilion's secret stash to attempt to refine some of the special array plates and magical artifacts they envisioned.
Several more months passed in peaceful and fulfilling practice.
On this day, Qin Xiao suddenly had a thought.
With a flash, he appeared on the star-gazing platform at the highest point of the Zichen Palace.
Fairy Yaoguang arrived almost simultaneously, and the two stood side by side, once again looking towards the northwest.
"This kind of fluctuation is definitely not normal!"
Fairy Yaoguang's voice carried a hint of surprise and doubt, "Is it that the Soul Devouring Array has malfunctioned? Or is something forcibly attacking the array?"
Qin Xiao's gaze was deep as he stared at the northwest horizon.
He could sense that the direction from which the fluctuations came was the "Tianzhu Mountain" mentioned in Xingyan Zhenren's message!
"It seems that we really don't have much time left."
Qin Xiao said slowly.
He turned around and looked down at the orderly rear palace of the Zichen Palace.
Luo Qingluan and Yu Qingyi have stabilized their nascent souls and are now capable of great use.
Mu Ziyan and the other three women have also reached the Golden Core stage.
It's time to make the final arrangements.
Qin Xiao transmitted his voice to the four women: "Three days from now, Zi Yan, Feng Ling, An Ning, and Chang Le will be in seclusion in a secret chamber. I will personally protect them and attempt to trigger the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!"
Three days later, in the same underground chamber.
The atmosphere was more somber than last time.
This time, four people are attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage simultaneously, which multiplies the difficulty and risk.
Especially since the four individuals have different spiritual root attributes, and simultaneously triggering the Heavenly Tribulation, no one knows what kind of chain reaction it will cause.
Mu Ziyan, Yu Fengling, Li Anning, and Li Changle sat cross-legged at the core of the formation, each with a determined expression and their auras adjusted to their peak.
Luo Qingluan and Yu Qingyi sat on either side of the main guardian positions, their auras deep and focused.
They've been through it once, so they're more experienced.
Qin Xiao was stationed in the center, while Fairy Yaoguang continued to be responsible for perimeter security and monitoring any unusual activity at Tianzhu Mountain.
"Let's begin, take the pills."
Qin Xiao said in a deep voice.
Without hesitation, the four women each took the pills that would help them form their nascent souls.
The medicinal effects dissipated, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy coursed through his body.
With the experience of Luo Qingluan and the other two, they had a clearer understanding of the process of breaking the core and were less afraid.
"Shatter the Core, Condense the Nascent Soul!"
Qin Xiao gave the order.
All four women simultaneously activated their golden cores!
"boom!"
Four powerful auras soared into the sky, intertwining to form a colorful vortex of spiritual energy above the secret chamber!
Mu Ziyan's body was surrounded by a blend of earthy yellow and aquamarine light, exuding a calm and dignified yet radiant aura.
Yu Fengling's golden, cyan, and blue spiritual energy intertwined and rose like living things.
Li Anning's figure became somewhat ethereal, with cyan wind spiritual energy flowing around him, as if he might be carried away by the wind at any moment.
Li Changle was enveloped in crimson flames, with waves of heat rolling in.
The process of breaking down the pills went more smoothly than expected.
Because they had more resources, were better prepared, and had the successful examples of Luo Qingluan and the other two, the four women were more stable in their mindset.
Under the impact of their respective spiritual energies and the aid of the pills, each golden core began to crack. A surge of powerful liquid spiritual energy flowed out, circulating and reshaping within the meridians according to the paths of their respective cultivation techniques, converging, compressing, and shaping towards the core of the dantian...
Time passed little by little.
Within Mu Ziyan's dantian, earthy yellow and aquamarine spiritual energy merged, gradually forming a solid and substantial, yet subtly fluid, pale yellow nascent soul.
After a complex cycle of transformation and harmonization, Yu Fengling's three-colored spiritual energy slowly took shape into a nascent soul with lively eyes and a sly smile.
Li Anning's cyan wind spiritual energy coalesced into a faint, ethereal cyan nascent soul outline.
Li Changle's crimson flames condensed into a red nascent soul phantom with heroic features and blazing flames dancing around its body.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
However, just as the four women's nascent souls were about to fully solidify,
"Buzz!"
The spiritual energy vortex above the secret chamber suddenly trembled violently, and four different types of energy began to collide, repel, and interfere with each other uncontrollably!
Mu Ziyan tried to stabilize her earth and water spiritual power, but it was disrupted by Yu Fengling's aura and became somewhat disordered.
Yu Fengling's three-colored return to origin was already in a delicate balance. However, after being stirred by Li Anning's ethereal wind spiritual power, the illusory image of the nascent soul swayed, and the colors faded a bit.
Li Anning's Wind Spirit Nascent Soul was the most unstable, and it almost collapsed when it was stimulated by Li Changle's exploding Fire Spirit!
Li Changle's Fire Spirit Nascent Soul was affected by the interference of the other three attributes, causing its flames to flicker and its temperature to drop significantly.
The four of them groaned simultaneously, their faces turning pale, and their newly formed nascent nascent souls showed signs of collapsing!
"Oh no! Attribute conflict!"
Luo Qingluan let out a soft cry.
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed. He had anticipated this situation. The four people had vastly different attributes, and if they formed their Nascent Souls at the same time, their respective spiritual energy fields and their connection to the heavens and earth would interfere with each other, easily triggering internal strife.
But if they succeed, the four of them will work together even better.
There are both advantages and disadvantages!
"Keep your mind focused! Ignore external distractions and concentrate on yourself!"
Qin Xiao shouted in a deep voice, while his hands quickly formed hand seals. Pure and peaceful spiritual energy of the five elements transformed into four pillars of light, which entered the bodies of the four women respectively, helping them to regulate and stabilize their rampant spiritual energy.
But this only addresses the symptoms. The root cause lies in the fact that the energies of heaven and earth activated by the four individuals simultaneously have become intertwined and are in conflict with each other.
"This won't do; forcibly suppressing it will only make the heavenly tribulation more intense."
Qin Xiao's mind raced, and he instantly realized, "I need to guide their power, to resonate briefly, rather than confront them."
"resonance?"
"Qingluan, Qingyi, lend me your strength! Using your Nascent Soul power as a guide, and the Five Elements spiritual power as a bridge, I will guide the spiritual power of the four of them to form a temporary cycle, so that we can jointly resist the heavenly tribulation!"
"Alright!" Luo Qingluan and Yu Qingyi did not hesitate and immediately activated their respective Nascent Soul powers, injecting two pure Nascent Soul spiritual energies, one gold and one blue, into Qin Xiao's body.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and fully activated the "Hehuan Immortal Scripture" and the Five Elements spiritual power, fusing Luo Qingluan's Geng Metal sharpness and Yu Qingyi's Xuanbing coldness with his own Five Elements spiritual power.
"The five elements revolve endlessly, accept!"
He let out a low shout, and the immense spiritual power that had merged transformed into a five-colored halo, enveloping Mu Ziyan and the other three women.
Guided by this halo, Mu Ziyan's earth and water spiritual power flowed into Yu Fengling's chaotic spiritual power.
Yu Fengling's spiritual power flowed through Li Anning's wind spirit.
Li Anning's wind spirit enhances Li Changle's fire spirit.
Li Changle's fire spirit, in turn, warmed and stabilized Mu Ziyan's spiritual power!
The circulation of the five elements' spiritual energy, under Qin Xiao's forceful guidance and with the assistance of Luo Qingluan and the other person, briefly took shape!
The four women felt that the originally conflicting and repulsive spiritual energy suddenly flowed smoothly, not only stabilizing in the cycle, but also creating a wonderful connection and benefit between them!
They seized this precious opportunity and focused all their efforts on condensing their Nascent Souls!
Just then!
"Boom!!!"
Above the Zichen Palace, tribulation clouds several times thicker than those during Luo Qingluan and her companion's previous tribulation gathered at an astonishing speed!
This time, the colors of the storm clouds were no longer a single gold or blue.
Gold, cyan, blue, red, yellow...
Lightning of various attributes surged and intertwined within, radiating a terrifying and violent pressure!
Fairy Yaoguang exclaimed in shock from the sidelines, "The four of them have different attributes, and their simultaneous activation has attracted such a rare heavenly tribulation! This tribulation contains multiple types of lightning power, which is unpredictable and extremely difficult to deal with!"
Qin Xiao also sensed the terrifying power contained within the tribulation clouds.
But at this moment, we cannot be distracted; we must maintain the spiritual energy circulation of the four women.
"Qingluan, Qingyi, prepare for the tribulation! Use offense as defense; we must not allow the tribulation lightning to strike their still-unstable nascent souls!"
"clear!"
Luo Qingluan and Yu Qingyi exchanged a glance, then simultaneously soared into the sky, directly confronting the rolling tribulation clouds!
"Snap!"
The first bolt of tribulation lightning struck down, and it was a fiery red lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket!
Heading straight for Li Chang Le, whose fire spirit aura was strongest below!
"break!"
Luo Qingluan let out a sharp cry, and the Gengjin sword energy slashed upwards, colliding violently with the crimson lightning!
With a deafening roar, both the sword energy and the lightning dissipated.
However, the dissipated power of lightning and fire still caused the array in the secret chamber below to shake.
Immediately following, a second bolt of azure Xun wind divine thunder, a third bolt of yellow Wu earth divine thunder, and a fourth bolt of blue Kan water divine thunder...
One after another!
Yu Qingyi also made her move, freezing the Earth and Water Divine Thunder that were aimed at Mu Ziyan and Li Anning.
Luo Qingluan's sword light flashed, shattering the Li Fire and Xun Wind Divine Thunder attacks aimed at Yu Fengling and Li Changle.
The two worked together seamlessly and managed to block the first four waves of sixteen lightning bolts, each with different attributes!
However, they had only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage, and such a high-intensity confrontation caused them to consume a great deal of spiritual energy, and their faces gradually turned pale.
The tribulation clouds seemed to be enraged, their rotation speed suddenly increasing, and five-colored lightning began to converge wildly at the center of the clouds.
An aura more terrifying than all the previous thunderbolts combined is brewing!
