Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 727 - 339: Nascent Soul True Monarch

With battle strength that directly rivals a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, at the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul level, finding an opponent is rare.

However, shortly after the breakthrough of the water lake rat, two powerful and familiar auras descended upon the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons without warning.

It turned out to be Hongyi and the Nascent Soul state Nine Nether Elder.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyi, Senior Nine Nether, long time no see." Xu Ping greeted with a smile.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xu on your beloved pet’s advancement, adding wings to a tiger!" Hongyi, gentle and refined as ever, smiled warmly.

"It’s just a small breakthrough, not worth mentioning."

Xu Ping humbly smiled, not taking pride in the water lake rat’s breakthrough.

Xu Ping led the two into his cave abode.

Inside the cave abode, Spiritual Qi was abundant, the furnishings simple yet elegant.

After some casual conversation, Hongyi stated his purpose.

They invited Xu Ping to explore an ancient secret realm together.

This secret realm is not ordinary; inside it... there seems to be an opportunity for Divinity Transformation!

"Divinity Transformation opportunity?!"

Even with Xu Ping’s firm Dao heart, his mind could not help but tremble violently at this moment.

The Divinity Transformation Stage is the pinnacle existence of this world.

Divinity Transformation, for any Nascent Soul cultivator, holds an irresistible allure with those four words.

In an instant, countless thoughts surged in Xu Ping’s mind.

The temptation is great, but the risk is surely not small.

"What does Fellow Daoist Xu think?" Hongyi asked with a smile, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Thank you for your kind invitation, but my cultivation is still shallow, I fear I may not be up to the task."

Upon hearing Xu Ping’s refusal, a trace of undetectable disappointment flashed across Hongyi’s face, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Everyone has their own aspirations, and it’s right for Fellow Daoist Xu to be cautious."

His tone was gentle, without insistence, as if he was really just inviting a friend, not caring about the result.

But the always silent Nine Nether Elder, his deep gaze like a substance landed on Xu Ping, his hoarse voice carrying a nameless meaning, slowly resonated:

"You’ve already achieved Nascent Soul, and with your great fortune, you might attract the attention of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect. You must be cautious in your daily life."

"Heaven-Suppressing Sect?"

Xu Ping’s brows instantly furrowed, alarms went off in his heart.

About the Heaven-Suppressing Sect and the matter of the child of fortune, Hongyi had spoken to him.

However, as long as he did not want to join, could the Heaven-Suppressing Sect really force him?

"Heh heh..."

The Nine Nether Elder let out a dry laugh, as if he saw through Xu Ping’s thoughts,

"If it’s just about fortune, a giant like the Heaven-Suppressing Sect might not pay much attention to a junior newly entering the Nascent Soul."

But... what if it’s the Profound Celestial Embryo?"

Boom—! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was as if a divine thunder exploded in the Sea of Consciousness!

"Profound Celestial Embryo?"

Xu Ping’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest, his Sea of Consciousness churned with towering waves.

He had heard of the name of the Profound Celestial Embryo.

It is the only supreme treasure embryo nurtured by the origin of heaven and earth, containing a trace of the supreme "Profound Celestial" law.

Its power is vast and boundless, something that would drive Divinity Transformation True Sovereigns to madness, willing to stir up blood seas and cause sects to fall just to seize it.

"Could it be... that withered wood..."

Xu Ping instantly connected it with that withered wood.

It... turned out to be the legendary Profound Celestial Embryo?

His mind was in turmoil, waves of shock.

But on Xu Ping’s face, he still maintained that perfect level of shock and... a hint of bewilderment:

"Profound Celestial Embryo?"

"Senior, such words are too astounding, such a legendary treasure, how could a junior like me lay claim to it, could Senior have misunderstood something?"

"Misunderstood?"

The mouth of Nine Nether Elder curled into an indescribable arc, not saying more, he just looked deeply into Xu Ping’s eyes, "You know the answer in your heart."

This gaze felt like lightning, seemingly able to penetrate disguises straight to the soul’s depth.

But with years of cultivation, Xu Ping showed no flaw.

"However... you need not be overly worried for now."

The Nine Nether Elder changed his tone, surprisingly softening slightly, "There aren’t many years left until the full-scale invasion of the Wind Origin Realm.

"The Heaven-Suppressing Sect is preoccupied and can’t expend vast resources to search recklessly for an unknown treasure."

"Just remember to keep a low profile, do not create earth-shattering events again."

Having said that, the Nine Nether Elder no longer concerned himself with Xu Ping’s reaction, retreating into Hongyi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Hongyi also cupped his hands towards Xu Ping, gave a meaningful glance, and vanished afterwards.

Xu Ping opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Watching the two leave, his expression changed repeatedly, unable to calm for a long time.

In the following time, Xu Ping was anxious, but was also preparing for possible risks.

Time is ruthless, thirty years passed by.

The Wind Origin Realm’s full-scale invasion occurred.

This battlefield was extremely tragic, with countless Nascent Soul cultivators shedding blood, and Divinity Transformation True Sovereigns frequently making moves.

The various sects of the Nanchuan Realm joined forces to resist; however, the Wind Origin Realm’s strong cultivators came in waves, continuously, making the situation dire.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, being a middle-tier sect of the Nanchuan Realm, was inevitably drawn into this calamity.

But during the battle, Xu Ping and the water lake rat died defending the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, even their Nascent Souls did not escape.

This scene made all disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons weep like rain, deeply grieved.

But fortunately, in this calamity, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons ultimately survived.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have quietly elapsed like a fleeting moment.

Several hundred years later, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons developed again, with many Nascent Soul cultivators appearing.

The event of Xu Ping and the water lake rat sacrificing themselves to protect the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons became forgotten in the river of history.
