The Way of The Dao

Five arcs of heavenly lightning had successively fallen on Xuan Li.

* Crack! *

The sound of a small sheet of paper shattering sounded inside Xuan Li's body after several lightning bolts had struck her. The golden core in her body finally cracked open, managing to give shape to a small soul that began to take form in her dantian.

A terrifying and extremely powerful aura burst out from her small body, causing the space around her to shake.

"Success!"

The old man exclaimed with joy and satisfaction as he sensed Xuan Li's aura.

Xuan Li had officially entered into the Nascent Soul realm!

Feeling the astonishing energy rushing powerfully in her meridians, Xuan Li couldn't help but open her eyes filled with excitement, sensing the great increase in strength. Her hands opened and closed several times, feeling that she could destroy an entire giant mountain using only her fists.

"Although you have managed to break through before the tribulation ended, you can use the remaining energy from the heavens to support you and open your own knowledge sea."

The next moment, Ling Tian's voice brought Xuan Li out of stupefaction, shaking her mind for a moment.

"En!" Xuan Li didn't think twice and she nodded firmly. She concentrated again and tried to gather the strands of energies the way which Ling Tian had explained to her earlier.

Five lightning arcs had descended from the sky and reached Xuan Li, allowing her to break through and reach the Nascent Soul realm. Therefore, only four heavenly lightning arcs remained for her heavenly tribulation to end.

The sixth wave of heavenly lightning finally fell without delay, striking Xuan Li terrifyingly, as if it wanted to kill her. But because she had already broken through, her body became much stronger and more resistant, so the heavenly lightning bolts were no longer as dangerous as before breaking through.

Xuan Li did not flinch and remained with her eyes closed. Her mind recalled again and again the information Ling Tian had passed down to her as she concentrated deeply to open her own knowledge sea.

According to her sect ancestor's information, if she managed to open her knowledge sea right now, she could be much stronger and would be one step ahead of those average Nascent Soul cultivators who had not yet officially opened their knowledge seas.

Xuan Li's consciousness sank into the darkness deep within her mind. Darkness reigned and there was no trace of light. Xuan Li did not panic and began to sense and search for any trace of energy that she could find.

After a while, when Xuan Li felt lightning strike her body on the outside, a slight sliver of energy was perceptible and she concentrated on quickly catching it, subsequently drawing it to her and keeping it in her possession.

"Huh?" Xuan Li became a bit desperate when she saw the energy wisp she had trapped disappear from her possession.

"It's still in your possession, don't worry. Don't despair over it, now try to look for another energy sliver."

lightsΝοvel Unexpectedly, Ling Tian's voice stunned Xuan Li, surprising her that she could hear her ancestor in her mind.

But Xuan Li decided to set aside her daze and continued to concentrate. Although she could not see the energy she had trapped earlier, when she decided to pay more attention and concentrate much harder, she could feel that there was still a faint energy there.

Another sliver of energy appeared and Xuan Li moved. Unfortunately, Xuan Li couldn't catch it properly, as her movements were a bit clumsy.

"It's okay, don't worry. Keep searching." Ling Tian's voice resounded calmly.

Xuan Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that she is demonstrating her clumsiness to her sect ancestor.

Time seemed to pass slowly, before Xuan Li was able to get another sliver of energy and draw it in, bringing it together with the energy she had trapped earlier.

Then, as these two energies came together, a tiny speck of barely perceptible light appeared in Xuan Li's dark consciousness, as if it were a tiny firefly in the middle of a dark forest with no light. This light was barely perceptible, but it was still submerged in total darkness, with the tendency to disappear quickly if it did not get more energy.

Nevertheless, Xuan Li was glad, understanding Ling Tian's first words much more as she knew that she was doing the right thing!

Without taking another second, Xuan Li's mind focused on continuing to search for more energy. According to Ling Tian's words, gathering three tiny strands of energies were the most difficult and even somewhat hopeless, as it was very difficult to accomplish this in a short time.

Two slivers of energies were subsequently found, but Xuan Li failed to catch them.lights

Xuan Li did not despair and continued to concentrate, until finally, another tiny energy essence slightly larger than the previous two appeared.

She did not hesitate and Xuan Li caught it, reuniting it with the two slivers of energies in her possession.

"Good! Now you are going to refine these energy slivers. Infuse them with the energy of your consciousness, refine them and start gathering energy as if you were cultivating, you'll notice once you succeed..."

"And once you manage to refine these little strands of energies, perceptible enough not to be snuffed out by the darkness itself, everything will be easier from now on..."

Ling Tian's voice came, speaking a few last words before disappearing.

Xuan Li nodded inwardly, she didn't even reply as she put all her concentration into this.

If even with the help of her great sect ancestor she couldn't accomplish this, then she wouldn't have the face to see her ancestor, much less her master.

Then, a small strand of energy appeared in the middle of the darkness after refining the three slivers of energy, beginning to slowly illuminate the space as it the same slivers of energy grew into three strands of energies barely a centimeter long and began to slowly gather energy around it, growing very slowly and at the same time illuminating more and more of the space.

Three bright dots illuminated the dark space.

"This..." Xuan Li was surprised to see this happening, suddenly remembering Ling Tian's words.

Xuan Li shook her head inwardly and quickly refocused on continuing to gather as much energy as she could. She could feel that stopping to gather all the spiritual energy in this place was similar to cultivating with her body, though with certain essential differences.

Xuan Li took her time to figure out how to gather more spiritual energy more quickly, so time flowed by without her noticing.

A long time later, a small river flowing rapidly in space settled and concentrated into a small pond or lake about 2 meters in diameter appeared in front of Xuan Li. Beads of sweat and tiredness appeared on Xuan Li's face at the sight of this small pond, but a big satisfied smile shone on her.

She had successfully managed to open her Knowledge Sea!

* Boom! *

Without waiting for Xuan Li to feel all her success, powerful spiritual forces flooded the place, as if a storm was threatening the place before the small pond altered and began to absorb all these energies.

Xuan Li was a little frightened at the sight of this.

"Don't be scared, these energies are your memories of your whole life. There are also your experiences, memories, feelings and more that you have experienced so far."

Once again, Ling Tian's voice appeared, calming Xuan Li's fear and causing her to let out a sigh of relief.

Slight embarrassment flooded Xuan Li as she realized that Ling Tian would be able to see her memories, so she lowered her head shyly. Without realizing it, her consciousness space shook slightly.

As if reading Xuan Li's thoughts, Ling Tian's voice resounded again, "Don't worry, I can't see your memories or read thoughts now, I can only see a bit of the current process so I can help you..."

"Ancestor..." Xuan Li's embarrassment increased, not believing Ling Tian this time when he seemed to read her mind at this moment.

After a few moments of calming down, Xuan Li was surprised to see that she had a body of her own in this place when she didn't before. It's just that this figure seemed somewhat ghostly, with her body somewhat blurry.

She looked at the small spiritual pond that had finished absorbing all the spiritual energy and finally finished growing, turning into a small lake about 3 meters in diameter.

Xuan Li looked with amazement and some disbelief at the small lake in front of her. Something in her mind seemed to tell her that she couldn't believe it, but her heart was shaken with joy as she looked at this, knowing that she succeeded.

"Congratulations, Xuan Li. You have opened your Knowledge Sea and you are now officially a true Nascent Soul realm cultivator!"

Finally, Ling Tian's voice echoed in Xuan Li's consciousness space, causing her happy smile to widen and the doubts in her mind to disappear, leaving happiness and joy.
