Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2163: 1106: Nascent Soul Prototype (2)

If such a situation arises, then the complete endeavor to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage would amount to nothing.

Realizing this point, Lin Tianming refused to take any risks whatsoever.

In the midst of the Fuling procedure, he proceeded with extreme care in every action, and while channeling his Spiritual Power, he managed the amount and pace with remarkable accuracy.

Thanks to his persistent diligence, this phase progressed smoothly without hitches.

After half a month had elapsed, the final bit of True Essence Mana in his body was transferred into the Nascent Soul Prototype, which held firm without disintegrating. Rather, it grew more solid, with its arms, legs, and other features becoming even more distinct.

Observing it at this moment, the infant prototype now possessed the complete shape and traits of a newborn, barely separable from an actual baby.

Yet, the sole distinction lay in the fact that this infant possessed a body but lacked awareness, resembling an lifeless item.

Lin Tianming felt no astonishment at this outcome.

For he was fully aware that he had merely finished the Fuling stage.

The forthcoming Divinity Giving phase played a pivotal role in granting the infant prototype sentience and linking it to his primary form.

Within the full sequence of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, this phase proved even tougher and riskier than Fuling.

The reason stemmed from a vital procedure required to finish it: dividing a substantial portion of his core divine soul and merging it into the Nascent Soul Prototype.

To any cultivator, no matter the realm of Cultivation, the divine soul remains utterly essential.

In these circumstances, attempting to separate an adequate divine soul from this core element feels like treading a razor's edge.

A single misstep, where the primary divine soul falters under the strain, leads straight to demise and the end of one's Dao.

On the other hand, should the divided divine soul prove too scant, causing an imperfect Three Souls and Seven Spirits, the infusion might still succeed only to have the Nascent Soul Prototype crumble or stay inert.

Under these conditions, the soul division demands not just exact measurement but also hitting a precise threshold to let the Nascent Soul Prototype develop fresh awareness.

Only by attaining this result could the Divinity Giving be deemed a triumph.

Failure to do so, despite finishing the core actions, would still spell doom for the breakthrough, resulting in death amid the attempt.

Before arriving at this point, Lin Tianming had studied detailed descriptions in numerous ancient scrolls regarding this phase.

Hence, confronting this stage, Lin Tianming showed no inclination toward negligence.

But with progress made this far, Lin Tianming found no way to turn back.

Deep down, he understood that pressing onward was his sole option.

It boiled down to victory or defeat, nothing else.

Given that reality, regardless of the perils involved, he was compelled to advance.

With this clarity, Lin Tianming cast aside any further delay.

In that instant, he started guiding his divine soul, gradually detaching a segment to integrate into the Nascent Soul Prototype.

Right from the onset of this procedure, a fierce agony surged across his entire being.

This torment exceeded by far the pains he had endured countless times in his Cultivation journey.

As a result, while Lin Tianming perched on the Jade Ball with eyes firmly shut, massive sweat drops rolled down his brow nonstop, swiftly drenching his Daoist robe and pooling on the floor below.

Nevertheless, Lin Tianming kept his focus unwavering, clenching his jaw to preserve mental sharpness.

Without pause, he adhered to his outlined plan, apportioning each soul and spirit element in set measures, methodically channeling them into the Nascent Soul Prototype.

During this process, Lin Tianming exercised utmost wariness, ensuring the portions were measured with pinpoint exactness.

So, even amid the searing torment, days slipped by steadily.

After an indeterminate span, just as Lin Tianming neared sensory overload, the Nascent Soul Prototype inside him started displaying signs of life.

Sensing it more intently, the Nascent Soul Prototype appeared to gain a spark of sentience.

Furthermore, with the passage of time, the Nascent Soul Prototype slowly forged a subtle bond with Lin Tianming’s core soul.

Perceiving this change, Lin Tianming brimmed with delight.

He recognized inwardly that the divine soul infusion had endowed the Nascent Soul Prototype with foundational awareness.

Thus, this awareness would intensify over time, ultimately forging a solid tie with his central form.

When the Nascent Soul Prototype settled firmly and their link hit the required level, genuine mental exchange would emerge, allowing seamless harmony in all actions.

By then, the Nascent Soul would boast both a soul and a physical form, marking it as a genuine Nascent Soul.

Even more crucially, the Nascent Soul would wield the ability to harness power, serving as his secondary existence.

At that juncture, should his primary body perish, the persisting Nascent Soul would offer a chance for revival via possession.

Conversely, if the Nascent Soul met destruction, a living main body could reform one anew using extraordinary Heavenly Treasures.

Arriving here signified that both his main body and Nascent Soul each held a backup life.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming meticulously inspected his present Nascent Soul, verifying he had entered the ultimate decisive phase.

Even so, Lin Tianming stayed alert, sustaining the condition to let the Nascent Soul Prototype fully acclimate to its state.

Yet another half day went by, until suddenly, Lin Tianming sensed the sharp pain swiftly withdrawing.

In its place came a supreme thrill exploding outward, almost overwhelming him entirely.

After regaining some composure, Lin Tianming peered inward and distinctly viewed the Nascent Soul Prototype nestled in his Sea of Consciousness.

Furthermore, this Nascent Soul Prototype was vividly real, mirroring a true infant in all aspects.

Beyond that, the little one featured a nose and eyes, a refined and sculpted visage with clear contours, full limbs infused with divine soul, and a consciousness flawlessly united, its look matching his own by about seventy to eighty percent.

With a mere mental nudge, the infant's small hands and feet responded in sync with his will.

Seeing this sight, Lin Tianming overflowed with joy.

Internally, he knew the Nascent Soul had genuinely taken shape, complete with awareness and capable of standalone existence.

By this point, the Nascent Soul Prototype had completely steadied.

The Divinity Giving procedure stood fully realized.

At present, the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage had genuinely reached its midpoint.

Looking forward, without unexpected twists, he would soon confront the Heart Demon ordeal.

This trial arose due to the Nascent Soul's fresh formation, complete with its own independent awareness.

As the Nascent Soul solidified, this new being, shaped by its aware nature, would naturally challenge the main body for dominance.

Such a clash was inevitable.

Just because the Nascent Soul now held awareness and stability, in pursuit of superior command, it would undoubtedly strike at the primary soul.

This soul-level battle provided the opening for the Heart Demon to manifest.

However, the Heart Demon waged a silent, invisible conflict; only if the main body triumphed, fully quelling the Nascent Soul's defiant awareness and seizing control of its mind, could the main body escape the Heart Demon's grip.

Failing that, should the Nascent Soul overpower the main consciousness, Lin Tianming could turn into a mindless slayer or face total annihilation.

Or worse, he might remain trapped eternally in the Heart Demon's mental realm, unable to awaken.

Should matters escalate to that extreme, it would signify utter defeat for Lin Tianming or any cultivator attempting the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Though Lin Tianming lacked direct experience, the myriad records he had perused made these dangers crystal clear to him.
