Chapter 671: Infant Transformation! Something I Never Dared to Imagine Before.

Qing He was attempting to break through to the Infant Transformation Stage, and Yu Xian stood guard nearby, completely focused.

At this moment, Qing He’s surrounding spiritual power surged like a tide. The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth crazily converged toward her, forming a massive vortex above her head.

Yu Xian utilized the power of the Laws of the Small World, gently enveloping her body to help her sort out the rampant energy within.

Qing He sat cross-legged, eyes tightly shut. Her expression shifted between solemnity and relaxation. Guided by Yu Xian, the spiritual power within her body was impacting the barrier of the Infant Transformation according to a specific trajectory.

That barrier was as solid as a massive rock. Every impact caused her entire body to tremble violently, and large beads of sweat slid down her forehead, soaking her clothes.

Yet, there was no trace of retreat in her eyes. The conviction to protect within her heart was like a lighthouse, guiding her continuously forward.

The Women held their breath, their gazes locked onto Qing He. Their palms were sweating for her.

“Infant Transformation! I never dared to imagine this before. Back then, I thought our Shangqing Realm was already quite good. After coming out, we realized just how vast the outside world is,” Su Ru sighed.

After returning, Yu Xian initially only brought back Li Muwan. Since Li Muwan’s cultivation wasn’t high, the other women didn’t feel much pressure. But when Qing He arrived—good heavens, Soul Transformation Stage—it made all The Women in the family feel immense pressure.

And now, she was attempting to break through to the Infant Transformation!

“I heard there are many more Realms above this. Husband always feels that his current cultivation is still insufficient; the path of Cultivation outside is still very long,” Yun Yun also said.

“We must continue to work hard. This time Husband brought back someone at the Soul Transformation Stage. Next time…” Shui Yue did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood: as Yu Xian’s Realm increased, the people he brought back would only be at higher Realms.

If their cultivation couldn’t keep up, they wouldn’t be of much help to Yu Xian in the future.

This was something they found hard to accept. After all, they all longed to walk alongside Yu Xian, supporting each other on the path of Cultivation, rather than becoming his burden.

Ning Zhongze gently patted Shui Yue’s shoulder and said with firm eyes, “Don’t worry. We have Husband, and we have each other’s companionship. As long as we are willing to put in the effort, we can definitely keep up with his pace. If Qing He can do it, we certainly can too.”

Her words acted like a strong stimulant, reinvigorating The Women’s somewhat deflated emotions.

They were not fighting alone; everyone in this Small World was each other’s firmest support.

As they watched Qing He striving within the Spiritual Qi vortex, they secretly mustered their resolve, deciding that once Qing He successfully broke through, they would Cultivate even more diligently to strive to narrow the gap with Yu Xian and Qing He sooner.

They didn’t know how long it took.

“She did it!” Huang Rong’s eyes lit up; Qing He must have succeeded in her Breakthrough!

The Women looked over and saw the Spiritual Qi vortex above Qing He’s head suddenly contract, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light shooting toward the sky. The aura emanating from her body instantly soared, and a pressure belonging to an Infant Transformation Cultivator swept out.

Qing He slowly opened her eyes, her pupils as clear as washed water. She gently exhaled a breath of stale air, and the fluctuation of spiritual power around her gradually stabilized. A relieved, faint smile curved her lips as she slightly nodded toward Yu Xian and The Women.

She also hadn’t expected to succeed so easily, and there was no Heavenly Tribulation! That was the most important thing. One must know how perilous the Lightning Tribulation for Infant Transformation is; so many Cultivators have met their end at this step.

Her smooth success was entirely due to Yu Xian protecting her with the power of the Small World’s Laws, and even more so because her Dao Heart had stabilized after her mental state broke through, allowing her spiritual power to flow without any obstruction.

Seeing her aura stabilize, Yu Xian showed a look of gratification. He reached out and helped her up. “Congratulations, Qing He.”

Qing He stood up, feeling the unprecedented powerful strength within her body, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

“Thank you, Husband. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know if I could have broken through to the Infant Transformation Stage in my lifetime,” Qing He looked gratefully at Yu Xian.

Yu Xian smiled and shook his head, brushing away the slightly damp strands of hair near her temples caused by the Breakthrough. “Your own talent and effort are the foundation; I was merely an impetus. Now that you are an Infant Transformation Cultivator, you can be considered a powerhouse on this Zhuque Star.”

He paused, sweeping his gaze over The Women around him, who were full of joy, and continued, “In the future, you will also be better able to protect this home, protect everything you wish to safeguard.”

Qing He looked at Yu Xian’s gentle eyes, then at her sisters beside her with sincere smiles. The desolate corner of her heart, once barren due to the past, was now filled with warmth.

She gave The Women a deep bow. “Thank you, sisters, for protecting me during the Breakthrough.”

The Women also flocked around her, chattering congratulations. The Small World was instantly filled with laughter and joy.

“Now that Qing He is at the Infant Transformation Stage, she can guide our Cultivation more in the future. With you here, we can avoid many detours in our practice,” Huang Rong said with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

“Yes, Qing He, you have rich experience. From now on, we will rely on your guidance for any difficulties we encounter in Cultivation,” Yun Yun agreed.

Qing He looked at everyone’s eager gazes, feeling a sense of responsibility rise within her, and whispered, “Sisters, you are too kind. I am also very happy to progress together with everyone. If you have any problems with Cultivation in the future, please ask me without hesitation; I will tell you everything I know.”

Yu Xian watched this scene, his heart filled with gratification and warmth.

Although his cultivation was high, his experience in Cultivation was inferior to that of Su Ru and Shui Yue, let alone Qing He. Now, with Qing He guiding them, the cultivation of The Women would surely improve faster.

After all, Qing He not only possessed profound cultivation foundations but had also experienced a major shift in her mental state, giving her unique insights into the Bottlenecks and realizations in Cultivation. Having her guide The Women was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

As for himself, he was still preparing to go out to sign in, and then prepare to attempt the Breakthrough to the Apex Realm.

Breaking through from the Infant Transformation Stage to the Apex Realm is a life-or-death hurdle in Mortal Realm Cultivation. The core involves the four steps of Immortal Power Perfection, Concept Zenith, Heaven-Defying Dao Heart, and Crystal Condensation Undergoing Tribulation being unified.

The core of the Breakthrough is indispensable: First, one needs the Late Stage Great Perfection of Infant Transformation, achieving Immortal Power Zenith. The spiritual power within the body must be completely transformed into Immortal Power, the Physical Body must become an Immortal Body, and the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body must merge completely.

Second, the Concept must be comprehended to the level of the Great Dao, capable of materialization. The Concept must be elevated from mere comprehension to one’s own Great Dao, capable of mobilizing the rules of heaven and earth. The Concept must be unified with one’s own Dao Heart and cannot be forcibly instilled by external power.

Third is the Dao Heart: choosing between Heaven-Defying or Heaven-Following. This involves the Heart Demon Purgatory. The moment of Breakthrough will pull one into a Heart Demon Illusionary Realm, forcing one to face the obsessions, regrets, and fears of a lifetime.

The Heavenly Dao will offer the Heaven-Following option: severing obsessions, abandoning love and affection, allowing for a smooth Breakthrough.

The path of Reverse Cultivation offers the option: rejecting the Heavenly Dao, adhering to one’s original heart, using obsession as the Dao, which triggers the Crimson Reverse Cultivation Heavenly Tribulation, making it a hundred times more perilous.

Fourth is Crystal Condensation, the most crucial step: forcibly fusing the substantial Immortal Power with the illusory Concept to condense the Apex Crystal in the Dantian or Purple Mansion.

Fifth is Undergoing Tribulation: A Heaven-Following Breakthrough results in a weaker Tribulation, usually a Golden Lightning Tribulation. A Heaven-Defying Breakthrough triggers the Crimson Reverse Cultivation Heavenly Tribulation, whose power is several times that of an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation, specifically designed to destroy those who defy heaven.

This Apex Realm Breakthrough is not easy!
