Chapter 619: Chapter 289: Divine Soul Merges with Golden Core, Tribulation Thunder Refining True Monarch

Nascent Soul.

That is the greatest obstacle Han Yi has faced in his journey thus far.

This barrier has stopped countless talents throughout history, even powerful figures like Li Dongli from the Tai Xu Sect, who was trapped for a hundred years, failed twice in seeking immortality, and wasted time.

However, today, he has reached the pinnacle of the road before Nascent Soul, with nowhere left to advance, and it’s time for him to fight for the Nascent Soul.

After returning to the Yu Heng World, he had thought of going back to Daqian safely, closing himself off to focus on cultivation, and comprehending the path of Nascent Soul. But when he remembered that even Sect Master Yuan Shun had to spend many years and eventually rely on his foundation building and comprehending the secret of divine soul transformation to successfully reach Nascent Soul, Han Yi was determined to obtain the Supreme Order, which could increase his chances of becoming a Nascent Soul by 30%.

Moreover,

Breaking through to Nascent Soul is about timing, not accumulation. Without the right timing, like Li Dongli, even if he wasted another hundred years and sought immortality three times, he would most likely return empty-handed.

Han Yi felt that his time had arrived.

Before him, the Proficiency Panel displayed the following information:

[Name: Han Yi]

[Lifespan: 93/592]

[Realm: Late-stage Golden Core (99/100)]

In terms of realm, the 99/100 Late-stage Golden Core was already at the limit of the Golden Core stage, and when the time was right, he could step into Nascent Soul.

With that in mind,

Han Yi didn’t give any commands to Xi Zhong and Tian Dehai. These two soul slaves each found a cave mansion on Taipan Mountain and waited for him to gather. If Han Yi didn’t show up within three months, they would continue south, cross Evil Mountain, and go to the Xuandan Sect in Daqian. This was the method Han Yi had agreed upon with them in the Cave Heaven.

As for Han Yi himself, he silently left Taipan Mountain like any other loose cultivator.

After fleeing hundreds of miles away, he rode the Black Emperor Immortal Boat, continued south, crossed Yang State, and arrived at State Ji, where he entered a mountain range named Yun Luo.

The Yun Luo Mountain Range is located in one of the four states of Daqin, State Ji. The range is vast and extensive. In the eastern part of the mountain range, there is a Golden Core level sect called the Qing Chi Sect. The sect has been established for only about a hundred years, and its leader, Du Kun, is the only Golden Core cultivator in the sect, also at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Beneath the Qing Chi Sect, there is a Fourth-stage Spirit Vein that has just fallen from a Fifth-stage and numerous other Third-stage or lower Spirit Veins. The reason Du Kun chose this location in the east of the Yun Luo Mountain Range was because he highly valued these Spirit Veins.

And thus, the Qing Chi Sect became Han Yi’s target.

This would be his chosen location for his Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Upon arriving outside the Qing Chi Sect, Han Yi first disguised himself and used his soul-searching methods to become an inner sect elder. Once inside the sect, he found Du Kun, who was not in seclusion. Han Yi easily subdued Du Kun while he was unaware and used the Ninefold Soul Destruction Seal to turn Du Kun into his own soul slave. In Han Yi’s soul slave space, there was now one more Soul Bell, making it a total of four, including the two that belonged to Xi Zhong and Tian Dehai.

Ever since Han Yi killed Xia Quan with the Soul Snatching Secret Skill, Xia Quan’s inheritance became his possessions.

At this moment, having confirmed the location for his Nascent Soul breakthrough and turned Du Kun into a soul slave, the Qing Chi Sect was essentially his territory, making Han Yi finally heave a sigh of relief.

After turning Du Kun into a soul slave, Han Yi occupied the most core part of the mountain, Qing Chi Mountain, and expelled the few foundation-building elders on the mountain before quickly setting up the Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Formation.

This time, the Fourth-stage Middle-grade Array was not set up in a miniature version but instead expanded into a complete version, enveloping the entire Qing Chi Mountain. Moreover, after connecting to the Fourth-stage Spirit Vein beneath the mountain, he took out a million high-grade Spirit Stones and set up Array Flags, preparing for any emergencies.

With the formation set up and Du Kun guarding the void outside the formation, Han Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it was time for the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

But before the breakthrough, Han Yi naturally needed to digest the rewards from this Cave Heaven assessment.

A streak of Han Yi’s hand, and numerous Qiankun rings and a treasure appeared before him. The many Qiankun rings were naturally from the cultivators he had killed, and that treasure was a… Spiritual Treasure.

Yes, a genuine Spiritual Treasure.

This Spiritual Treasure did not cause any hindrance to Han Yi in the Cave Heaven because it belonged to the Soul Hall’s Xia Quan.

Han Yi flipped his hands and took out the Spiritual Treasure. It was a small silver ancient bell, covered in densely-packed, tiny runes. The silver runes were twisted, overlapping, inverted, and chaotically engraved on the surface of the bell.

Staring at it for long would make one’s divine soul dazed. After only three breaths, Han Yi felt dizzy. Although his divine soul had already reached the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was only at the Early-stage. The fact that this treasure could make him feel dizzy demonstrated the mysteriousness of this Spiritual Treasure.

Soul Loss Bell.

This is one of the Spiritual Treasures of the Soul Hall.

With his heart lingering in shock, Han Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

If back in the Cave Heaven, Xia Quan had not tried to snatch the Ninefold Soul Tower inheritance from him but had instead directly sacrificed the Soul Loss Bell, even if Han Yi’s divine soul had been able to withstand the attack of this Spiritual Treasure, he would have been severely injured, and his combat power greatly diminished. His only choice would have been to escape, and there would have been no follow-up with him effortlessly crushing Xia Quan in the soul slave space and taking all of Xia Quan’s possessions.

Han Yi put the Soul Loss Bell into the Qiankun Ring. He needed to refine this Spiritual Treasure, but he would have to wait until after his Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Once refined, it would become an ace up his sleeve.
