Chapter 39 Xiumo Sea

Right now, someone within the State of Zhao seemed to be undergoing Soul Transformation, which filled them with fear and a hint of bewilderment.

Sun Xuan hovered above the mountains, his Physical Body flashing with multicolored light at this moment.

Reflected in this light, Sun Xuan looked as illusory as a dream, akin to a True Immortal descending to the Mortal world.

Gradually, a miniature figure identical to Sun Xuan slowly floated up from the top of his head.

It was precisely Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul.

This Nascent Soul slowly floated up, completely escaping from the top of Sun Xuan's head.

It immediately spread its arms, making the exact same motion as Sun Xuan's Physical Body.

Suddenly, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to have found an outlet.

It crazily gathered toward Sun Xuan.

Above the entire mountain range, a massive vortex instantly formed.

The normally invisible Spiritual Qi now presented a brilliant, multicolored hue.

It condensed from above Sun Xuan's head.

Then, like a giant funnel, it slowly poured from top to bottom into the body of Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon also appeared in the sky.

In the cloudless high altitude, a giant black hole slowly formed.

Within the black hole, specks of starlight twinkled.

Sun Xuan seemed to sense something, and his Nascent Soul abruptly raised its head to look.

Its eyes instantly lit up with two rays of light, looking straight into the black hole.

Sun Xuan's heart immediately shook; the world inside that black hole was impressively outside of Suzaku Planet.

When a Cultivator undergoes Soul Transformation, their Nascent Soul undergoes a series of evolutions.

This process requires an immense amount of spiritual power.

Therefore, under this circumstance, relying on the Concept, an otherworldly passage can be opened.

To absorb the bountiful Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm, allowing the Soul Transformation to succeed.

This is an Opportunity that every Cultivator obtains when undergoing Soul Transformation.

The Spiritual Qi within the black hole gushed out like raging floodwaters.

Then it was entirely absorbed by the giant vortex above Sun Xuan's head, and subsequently merged into the body of Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul.

As Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul absorbed a massive amount of Spiritual Qi,

the multicolored light on its body became even more dazzling, and then the Nascent Soul rose higher once again.

It slowly ascended from three inches above Sun Xuan's head.

The appearance of the black hole in the sky caused all the Mortals in the State of Zhao to become even more pious in their hearts.

In fact, in a rank-four cultivation country, whenever a Cultivator undergoes Soul Transformation, they will choose their hometown.

Because at the moment of Soul Transformation, an otherworldly passage will be opened.

Then the Mortals closest to the Cultivator will receive tremendous benefits.

Under this circumstance, some Mortals without a Spiritual Root will absorb some mysterious otherworldly energy.

They can even develop an Acquired Spiritual Root.

This is also the reason why rank-four cultivation countries completely surpass rank-three cultivation countries.

Because every time a Cultivator undergoes Soul Transformation, it causes many more Mortals with the Aptitude for Dao cultivation to appear within their country.

At this moment, Sun Xuan had completely merged into the Devouring Concept, comprehending the Dao Laws within it.

As more and more spiritual power merged in, Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul rose higher and higher.

At this very moment, the Cultivators closer to Sun Xuan in the State of Zhao witnessed a scene they would never forget in this lifetime.

A Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm slowly rose into the air.

Endless Spiritual Qi all around crazily surged toward the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul was seen forming hand seals with both hands, slowly dancing in mid-air.

Endless Spiritual Qi converged into its tiny body like ten thousand rivers returning to the sea.

This process lasted for a very long time…

Under the infusion of Spiritual Qi, Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul formed hand seals faster and faster with both hands, creating a series of afterimages in the air.

Gradually, the multicolored light outside the Nascent Soul slowly receded.

In the end, not even the slightest trace was revealed.

Following that, the entire body of Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul abruptly became translucent, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

And the black hole in the sky, after spewing out the final burst of Spiritual Qi, also gradually closed up and finally vanished without a trace.

That final burst of Spiritual Qi transformed into a long Dragon, roaring as it descended from the sky.

Then it instantly fused together with the Nascent Soul.

At this moment, wisps of an unusual Aura emanated from within the Nascent Soul's body.

The entire Nascent Soul changed from its translucent state back to being solid again.

Following that, the body of the Nascent Soul slowly grew larger.

In the end, it grew to be taller than a person.

There was hardly any difference from Sun Xuan's Physical Body.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul slowly opened its eyes, within which two pitch-black vortexes slightly rotated.

The light around the Nascent Soul's eyes was actually slightly distorted at this moment, as if it was about to be swallowed into that black vortex.

On the surface of the Nascent Soul's body, a faint, black-and-red outer garment was attached.

It was precisely the soul armor formed by Sun Xuan using the Withered Blood Soul-Devouring Demonic Art.

When Sun Xuan advanced to Soul Transformation, under the influence of the Devouring Concept, this soul armor also underwent a massive metamorphosis.

Its power increased by more than one tier.

Sun Xuan's Nascent Soul, amidst the transformation and refinement of massive amounts of Spiritual Qi, finally achieved a metamorphosis.

At this point, it had shed its infant body and achieved the Primordial Spirit.

This Primordial Spirit contained Sun Xuan's Devouring Concept, giving people a formidable, bizarre, and mysterious feeling.

The Primordial Spirit was seen slowly descending at this moment, and then merging into Sun Xuan's body.

Sun Xuan gently let out a breath, murmuring in his mouth:

"So, this is Soul Transformation!"

Feeling the bountiful power within his body and the Devouring Concept that had fused into one with his Nascent Soul,

Sun Xuan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corners of his mouth as he gently clenched his fists.

Just at this moment, several beams of escaping light emitting the Aura of the Core Formation realm

rapidly approached Sun Xuan from afar, then lingered uncertainly in the sky not far from Sun Xuan.

They looked like they wanted to step forward, but didn't dare to.

Those few minor Core Formation Cultivators were presumably alarmed by the Aura of Sun Xuan's Soul Transformation.

They wanted to step forward and inquire, but lacked the guts.

Sun Xuan couldn't be bothered with them.

Although he had personally destroyed the eight major Schools of the State of Zhao and all the Nascent Soul Cultivators,

even the inspection envoy of the State of Zhao had been beheaded under Sun Xuan's sword.

However, Sun Xuan undergoing Soul Transformation within the State of Zhao also brought quite a few benefits to the State of Zhao.

To say nothing else, merely under the influence of his Soul Transformation, the massive increase in Mortals with Dao cultivation Spiritual Roots was a tremendous fortune for the State of Zhao.

This could also be considered a form of compensation by Sun Xuan to the State of Zhao, giving the State of Zhao hope to return once again to the ranks of rank-three cultivation countries from a rank-two cultivation country.

At this moment, Sun Xuan's figure flickered slightly, and he vanished from mid-air.

Leaving behind only a single afterimage that slowly dissipated from its original spot.

"That Senior has left!"

Seeing Sun Xuan's figure dissipate, the escaping lights of the several Core Formation Cultivators in the distance simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they felt as if their hearts were hollow, as if they had missed some heaven-defying Opportunity.

At this moment, the few of them lowered their escaping lights and gathered together, looking at each other in silence for a time, not knowing what to say.

…

Xiumo Sea.

Thick fog enshrouded the entire Xiumo Sea.

Mist drifted and twined in between; a human figure appeared within the Xiumo Sea at this moment.

It was precisely Sun Xuan, who had left the State of Zhao many days ago.
