Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1003 - 431: Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator; Explosive Surge in Power

It felt like a colossal flood, gathering immense force, yet encountering nothing more than a thin, resilient paper.

"Break!"

Xu Ping silently commanded in his mind, channeling a torrent of Mana, focusing it to a single point, and unleashing a forceful impact.

Crack...

A subtle fracturing sound echoed from an unseen dimension.

The barrier dissolved, clearing a path forward.

Boom!

The aura enveloping Xu Ping erupted like a dragon unleashed from its bonds, soaring with unbridled ferocity.

Ascending upward, one step at a time.

The prevailing mist within the secluded chamber was instantly dispersed by the sudden, potent surge of aura, creating a temporary void.

Within Xu Ping’s Dantian, his cyan Nascent Soul radiated brilliance, emitting countless beams of light.

Its physical size noticeably increased by a measure, becoming more substantial and imposing, and the pale blue luminescence surrounding it intensified into a profound, robust cyan divine light.

The total quantity and refinement of Mana experienced an immense leap forward.

His Sea of Consciousness expanded at a frantic pace, significantly boosting both the range and acuity of his perception by manifold!

A novel sensation of power, previously unfelt, permeated his entire being.

After an indeterminate passage of time, the fierce aura gradually subsided and retreated.

Xu Ping’s eyes slowly fluttered open.

A divine radiance emanated from his eyes, resembling two deep, starlit firmaments, exuding majesty with every blink.

He sensed the surging power within him, akin to mighty, flowing rivers; his lips initially curved into a subtle smile, which then blossomed into an irrepressible laugh that resonated throughout the entire confined space.

"Hahaha... Late-stage Nascent Soul, achieved!"

Surpassing five centuries of age and reaching the Late-stage of Nascent Soul!

Such swift progress, when surveyed across the entirety of the Wind Origin Realm, could only be rivaled by those extraordinary prodigies destined for the Divinity Transformation Realm.

However, in terms of lifespan, he had already surpassed cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage.

Xu Ping eagerly accessed his status panel:

[Lifespan: 543 / 4951 years]

[Realm: Late-stage Nascent Soul: 1 / 100]

...

"A lifespan extension of three hundred years, just as anticipated."

Xu Ping casually perused the lifespan section, his emotional response minimal.

Extended longevity not only granted more cultivation time but also fostered a greater sense of security when confronting dangers and enabled more strategic, long-term planning.

Yet, when his consciousness turned to the other transformations accompanying this breakthrough, his previously tranquil heart began to churn with profound emotion.

"Divine Sense..."

Xu Ping closed his eyes once more, directing his focus inward.

Instantly, an immense and expansive Divine Thought Power, emanating from his core, silently propagated outward.

Its area of coverage had expanded significantly, by no less than several times, compared to his Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation!

More astonishing was the qualitative enhancement of this Divine Sense.

His prior Divine Sense was akin to a narrow stream, clear but confined.

Now, his Divine Sense was like a boundless ocean, profound and limitless; with a mere thought, all became perceptible, even the subtlest stirrings of Primordial Qi.

"With my current Divine Sense intensity, I fear... I have already brushed against the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Stage!" Xu Ping's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

The disparity between reaching Nascent Soul Perfection and touching the Divinity Transformation threshold was vastly greater than progressing from Early-stage Nascent Soul to the Late-stage; it was comparable to traversing an insurmountable chasm.

This was a height that countless Nascent Soul Cultivators dared not even contemplate, sufficient to astound even true Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

"Employing this level of Divine Sense to wield the Soul-Breaking Needle, Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators might suffer grievous injuries from a single strike, leaving them utterly vulnerable!"

"However..."

Xu Ping's gaze sharpened slightly, "Against actual Divinity Transformation Cultivators, relying solely on this needle might not pose a significant threat."

"The Divine Soul of a Divinity Transformation cultivator is exceptionally resilient; unless my Divine Sense truly reaches the Divinity Transformation Level, or... the Soul-Breaking Needle itself undergoes further evolution, achieving a qualitative transformation!"

Either of these paths presented a formidable challenge.

Achieving another qualitative leap in Divine Sense necessitated significant opportunity and dedicated effort.

Elevating the rank of the Soul-Breaking Needle, conversely, demanded exceptionally rare materials, requiring meticulous long-term strategy and careful maneuvering.

Without delay, Xu Ping focused his mind on the deepest recesses of his Dantian.

At this juncture, his cyan Nascent Soul appeared as solid as carved jade, its features distinct, its eyebrows and eyes mirroring Xu Ping's own, even bearing a subtle aura of majesty.

A warm yet boundless cyan divine light coursed through the entire Nascent Soul's form; this luminescence was not static but pulsed rhythmically, akin to a living entity.

Each expansion and contraction caused the vast Mana within the Dantian to surge and ebb like the tide.

"Mana surge, Nascent Soul transformation..."

Xu Ping slowly clenched his fists, without deliberately activating his Cultivation Technique, he could sense the immense power surging within him, akin to a roaring celestial river and an angry ocean.

It felt pure, boundless, and seemingly unending.

This was an unparalleled sensation of might, as though each of his movements could command the very elements of wind and clouds.

"In terms of Mana depth and purity alone, I might only be slightly inferior to someone like Yun Wei Feng, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfect stage."

"Once my cultivation progresses further, surpassing him is a foregone conclusion!"

"With all my techniques and ultimate trump cards unveiled, and considering my current abilities... there's even a significant chance to defeat Yun Wei Feng, who wields a bloodline treasure."

Xu Ping silently assessed his combat prowess, reaching an immediate conclusion.

Having just broken through to the Late-stage Nascent Soul, and possessing such Divine Techniques, he was undoubtedly a rare prodigy throughout the vast human Cultivation Realm.

Within this Wind Origin Realm, Xu Ping truly held the undisputed title of number one in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Suppressing the intense excitement born from this surge of power, Xu Ping understood the necessity of stabilizing his recent breakthrough.

He resumed his cross-legged posture, activating the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture. He began guiding the surging Mana within him, orderly refining the newly formed Nascent Soul until it harmonized perfectly with his enhanced Divine Sense and physical body.
