Chapter 717: I Have No Interest in Your Things

Hearing Yu Xian’s thanks, Han Li didn’t expect Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Xian to have such a good relationship, so he quickly waved his hand to indicate there was no need for formalities.

“Senior is too polite! Real Person Zhang saved my life; how could I, a Junior, not repay such kindness?” Han Li’s expression was respectful and his tone sincere, not daring to show the slightest negligence despite the other party’s politeness.

Since meeting Zhang Sanfeng, the man had saved him from danger many times. If not for Zhang Sanfeng’s assistance, he would have long since become someone else’s prisoner, and it was uncertain if he would have even come out alive.

“Mm, you needn’t be nervous. I have no interest in your things. Moreover, you have performed a service by looking after Real Person Zhang. You may make one request of me; it could be helping you Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, helping you leave the Chaotic Star Sea, or something else.” Yu Xian said with a smile.

He knew what Han Li needed most at this moment. Whether it was a Breakthrough in cultivation or escaping the predicament of the Chaotic Star Sea, it was nothing more than a simple task for him.

Hearing this, Han Li’s heart skipped a beat, and an incredible light instantly burst from his eyes.

Help him Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage? This was exactly what he was desperate to do! The resource limit, technique limit, and Spiritual Qi density of the Chaotic Star Sea were not enough to support his push for the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Realms.

His goal was longevity and Ascension; the Chaotic Star Sea was merely a’starting village,’ and he had to go to a broader continent.

Leaving the Chaotic Star Sea? That was also urgent. He had made too many enemies in the Chaotic Star Sea, and the environment was treacherous.

After the Xutian Palace, he had formed deadly feuds with Nascent Soul old monsters like Wan Tianming, Old Ancestor Extreme Yin, and the Zenith Sage of the Six Paths. Staying in the Chaotic Star Sea was equivalent to being hunted down at any time.

The Demonic Path ran rampant in the Chaotic Star Sea, Loose Cultivators were everywhere, and there was no stable backing. The Spiritual Qi fluctuations during Nascent Soul formation would easily attract ambushes, making the risk extremely high.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and said respectfully, “Senior’s great kindness is something this Junior will never forget. If Senior can truly help me Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, I am willing to serve Senior with all my heart!”

He did not choose to leave the Chaotic Star Sea because he knew that strength was the foundation. Without strength, he might not be able to Breakthrough safely even if he left.

As long as he could Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, he wouldn’t fear Old Ancestor Extreme Yin and the others, and he could leave this sea area sooner or later anyway.

Yu Xian nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Han Li’s choice.

“Good. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage is not a difficult task for you. Follow me.” As he spoke, he gave a wave of his wide sleeve, and a gentle force swept up Han Li and Zhang Sanfeng. With a flash, they disappeared from the spot, leaving only the calm, waveless surface of the sea.

The next moment, they appeared on a deserted island. Although the Spiritual Qi on this island wasn’t particularly dense, it was quiet and free from disturbances.

Yu Xian signaled for Han Li to sit cross-legged, then raised his hand to release a burst of extremely pure, gentle, and vast energy. Like a trickling stream, it slowly poured into Han Li’s body.

Han Li felt a warm current instantly surge through his entire body. His originally sluggish Meridians seemed to be completely cleared, and the Golden Core within his Dantian began to spin frantically, absorbing this massive energy.

He could clearly feel that the Golden Core was undergoing a wonderful change; its volume was constantly compressing, and the spiritual power inside was becoming more and more condensed.

Subsequently, Yu Xian placed a Soul Formation Pill and a Soul Stabilizing Pill into Han Li’s mouth. The Medicinal Pills melted instantly upon entering, turning into two streams of cool and warm medicinal power. They complemented the vast energy, together nourishing his Golden Core and Divine Soul.

Zhang Sanfeng held his breath on the side, his eyes full of wonder. He could sense the Dao Rhyme contained in the energy Yu Xian released, which far exceeded his understanding of Spiritual Qi. Such means had likely touched upon Soul Transformation or even higher Realms.

Han Li was immersed in the mysterious state of Breakthrough, isolated from everything in the outside world. His consciousness was entirely focused within his Dantian.

Under the combined effect of the energy and the Medicinal Pills, fine golden patterns began to appear on the surface of the Golden Core. It slowly contracted and solidified, showing faint signs of shattering.

This was the crucial step of forming the Nascent Soul: Shattering the Core to Form the Soul!

Yu Xian stood to the side with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. Occasionally, he would flick a finger, sending an imperceptible thread of energy into Han Li’s body to precisely guide the violent spiritual power and prevent Qi Deviation.

Time passed quietly in the silence. After an unknown amount of time, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within Han Li. Golden light radiated from his body, and the Golden Core in his Dantian shattered with a ‘crack.’ A miniature phantom of Han Li slowly condensed within the core fragments; its eyes were tightly closed, but its aura grew stronger by the day.

“It’s a success!” Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t help but whisper, a look of sincere joy appearing on his face.

The phantom gradually solidified, turning into an inch-sized Nascent Soul dressed in a green Daoist robe. It sat cross-legged within the Dantian Qi Sea and began to breathe in Spiritual Qi on its own.

Han Li snapped his eyes open, a sharp light flashing through them. A powerful pressure belonging to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator spread out. Although it wasn’t as unfathomable as Yu Xian’s, it was enough to make ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators take notice.

He slowly stood up, feeling the unprecedented surging power within him and a closer connection with heaven and earth. He trembled slightly with excitement.

He bowed deeply to Yu Xian, his voice carrying a hint of a sob: “Senior’s great kindness is such that even if Han Li were ground to powder, I could not repay even a fraction of it!”

At this moment, he was a true Nascent Soul Cultivator!

That inch-sized green Nascent Soul within him was sitting upright in the Dantian Qi Sea. Every breath it took drew in the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Though the pressure it emitted was still somewhat raw, it was at a genuine Nascent Soul Stage level.

The likes of the Zenith Yin Island Master and Old Devil Qian might still be powerful, but he now had the confidence to stand his ground against them, or even defeat them.

The Nascent Soul Stage was an important watershed for the strength of Cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea. Having crossed this threshold, he truly possessed the power to establish himself here and even control his own destiny.

“It was just a simple task. Now that you are a Nascent Soul Cultivator, you can have a place in this Chaotic Star Sea. However, your path is still long; do not become stagnant because of this.” Yu Xian waved his hand and smiled.

“This Junior will keep Senior’s teachings in mind!” Han Li replied respectfully, the determination in his eyes even stronger than before.

With the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, he no longer feared the Chaotic Star Sea!

Zhang Sanfeng also stepped forward, patted Han Li on the shoulder, and smiled: “Congratulations, Little Friend Han. With this cultivation, you won’t have to be as cautious as before when traveling the Chaotic Star Sea.”

“If not for the Daoist Master’s care along the way, I would not have seen the day I received Senior’s help.” Han Li was also incredibly grateful to Zhang Sanfeng.

“Alright, this matter is settled. Han Li, you have just formed your Nascent Soul and need to stabilize your Realm and familiarize yourself with its power. You should Cultivate here on this island for a period of time.”

“As for Real Person Zhang, do you plan to leave with me, or continue staying in the Chaotic Star Sea?” Yu Xian asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng did not hesitate in the slightest and then smiled: “This old Daoist has stayed in the Chaotic Star Sea for two years; it is time to go find Chen Ning and the other children, as well as alumni like Yang Guo and Xiao Feng.”

He knew clearly in his heart that only by following Yu Xian could he come into contact with higher-level worlds. Staying in the Chaotic Star Sea would ultimately be a limitation.
