CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 211 DEMON RACE CONSPIRACY! SUBDUED ON THE SPOT! (8000 WORDS)_3

"What about Ye Guhong?"

"Someone will take care of him."

「...」

The quality of a Nascent Soul doesn’t just depend on a Cultivator’s potential. More importantly, it depends on the foundation they build during the early stages of their cultivation. The stronger the foundation, the higher the quality of the Nascent Soul.

So, what kind of foundation did Wang Xiu possess? He had the *Ming Emperor’s Prison-Towning Scripture*, the supreme inheritance of the Ghost Path! He had the *Taiyi Imperial Thunder*, the ultimate technique of the Thunder Sect! He had the *Primordial Bo Tian Scripture*, the body-venerating cultivation method of the ancient Bo Tian Clan! He had the *Supreme Pointing to the Profound Chapter*, a supreme inheritance renowned for its incredible mana intensity and countless secret techniques! He had the *Great Luo Supreme Divine Sense*, the highest inheritance of the Ancient Spirit Clan! And then there were the one hundred and eight ancient Daoist Texts branded upon his sea of consciousness...

The list went on and on. Any single one of these treasures would be enough to create a peerless expert who could shake the heavens and earth for all of history. Yet Wang Xiu had mastered many of them, and each to the point of perfection. From his physical body to his mana, from his Divine Sense to his Divine Skills... he had virtually no weaknesses. He was a true hexagonal warrior.

In the entire history of the Cultivation World, there had likely never been anyone like Wang Xiu before, and there would likely never be another again!

BOOM!

The Twelve-color Nascent Soul finally took shape. Wang Xiu’s body was shrouded in a rich, treasure-like glow. His aura was incomparably powerful, and his eyes seemed to reflect the vast expanse of the cosmos as the very void around him blazed with phantom flames.

Nascent Soul First Layer!

Nascent Soul Second Layer!

Nascent Soul Third Layer!

Wang Xiu’s cultivation level soared, only stopping when he reached the Fourth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"The Supreme Yin and Holy Yang Body truly is an excellent crucible. The ancients certainly weren’t lying..." Wang Xiu opened his eyes, lost in the lingering memory of that wonderful sensation.

His union of yin and yang with Nie Linglan had caused the mana within him to surge and undergo a qualitative transformation. Coupled with the incredibly deep foundation he had built in the Golden Core Realm, he broke through four minor realms the moment he entered the Nascent Soul Realm. It took a long while for his aura to finally stabilize.

This was a perfect example of explosive growth born from a deep foundation.

He wasn’t the only one. Nie Linglan’s gains were just as great, if not greater. She had simply fallen into a deep slumber. Once she awakened, she too would experience an earth-shattering transformation.

「...」

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Wang Xiu..."

"A Twelve-color Nascent Soul! I’ve never heard of or seen such a thing... Senior Brother Wang Xiu is truly a celestial!"

「...」

The moment Wang Xiu touched down, the surrounding prodigies swarmed him, their eyes blazing with fervent adoration. They had just witnessed the birth of a legend, and the sheer excitement made it impossible for them to calm down.

The expressions on Chu You and the others were particularly complex, their hearts filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Ye Guhong’s Nine-color Nascent Soul was already a miracle seen once in a millennium, yet Wang Xiu’s had twelve colors!

Although Wang Xiu had no intention of competing with Ye Guhong, the spectators couldn’t help but compare the two dazzling geniuses. This was already the second time Wang Xiu had stolen Ye Guhong’s thunder, whether he meant to or not. It turned out that even a figure as revered as the Young Ancestor could truly be surpassed.

"What’s there to be so disheartened about?" Luo Hongyi said, folding her arms. The posture made her ample bosom seem all the more prominent as she stared at Wang Xiu in the crowd. "There is always someone better, and a heaven beyond the heavens. The world has always been this way."

"But... could there really be someone stronger than Young Master Wang Xiu in this world?" Chu You asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Why are you so obsessed with comparing yourself to *him*?" Luo Hongyi rolled her eyes at her before nodding toward Wang Xiu. "That guy is a monster. He’s the ’someone better’ and the ’heaven beyond the heavens.’ There might be people stronger than him out there, but I doubt I’ll ever live to see one."

"’The someone better... and the heaven beyond the heavens’..." Chu You murmured, her gaze growing distant as she was lost in thought.

「...」

"Ah, what a tragedy. I guess I have to change how I address you. I can’t call you Junior Brother Wang Xiu anymore..." Li Zuoyue said with a pained expression, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

It’s crazy how fast Wang Xiu has progressed. When I first met him, he was only at the Core Formation stage, while I was already a powerhouse on the Golden Core Ranking. And now, he’s already at the Nascent Soul Realm, but the rest of us haven’t even broken through yet! To an outsider, it must look like we’ve been standing still this whole time! But in reality, our strength has been constantly increasing. We’ve made huge leaps during our time in the Holy Realm. It’s just... Wang Xiu is too damn monstrous! He’s not even human!

Still, they weren’t that far behind. Whether it was Li Zuoyue, Xiang Tiange, or the others, they were all extremely close to reaching their own breakthrough thresholds. It was only a matter of a day or two.

Wang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. "If you don’t want to change it, then don’t. We’re all friends here, formalities like that don’t matter. You’re acting like you actually want to call me Senior Brother."

In the Immortal Sect, addressing people based on cultivation level was common among acquaintances. But among friends, there was no strict rule that the weaker had to address the stronger as ’Senior Brother’ or ’Senior Sister.’ It all depended on their relationship. This guy was just teasing me.

Sure enough, at Wang Xiu’s words, Li Zuoyue’s face lit up. He threw an arm over Wang Xiu’s shoulder. "Hahaha, I knew it! Junior Brother Wang Xiu never sweats the small stuff! Come on, let me get a good look at you. I want to see what’s so different about someone with a Twelve-color Nascent Soul. Are you leaking Immortal Qi?"

Wang Xiu was speechless. "..."

"Get lost! Is my Big Brother someone you can just touch whenever you want?" Zhang Yuge cut in, yanking Li Zuoyue away. He then rubbed his hands together with a sly grin. "Tsk, tsk. As expected of my Big Brother. A Twelve-color Nascent Soul... something unheard of in ages! Hehehehe..."

Wang Xiu was speechless once again. "..."

"Move! Everyone, move!" Ji Zidian shrieked, growing frantic. The boisterous crowd had completely blocked her from getting close. How infuriating!

The area was abuzz with excitement. Had it been any other prodigy who had just condensed a Twelve-color Nascent Soul—someone like Ye Guhong, for instance—the average prodigy wouldn’t have dared to approach them so casually.
