Yun Jin focused, continuously using spiritual power to scour her Golden Core.
That black-and-white Golden Core, under the crazy influx of spiritual power, spun faster and faster, faster and faster.
Yun Jin drew all the surging medicinal power over and continued to pour it in.
Very soon,
It reached the Golden Core's limit of endurance.
The Golden Core spun faster and faster, and its size even seemed to slightly swell.
The next instant.
With a crack, a fissure appeared on the Golden Core.
Yun Jin wasn't alarmed but delighted. Enduring the pain, she continued to pour in spiritual power.
After sustaining this for a while, more and more fissures appeared.
In the end.
With another crack, it shattered.
As the Golden Core shattered, Yun Jin also felt tremendous pain.
But.
Shattering the core to form the nascent soul was a path every cultivator had to walk.
Once the Golden Core shattered, the vast spiritual power immediately tried to scatter in all directions.
Using her powerful mental power, Yun Jin instantly suppressed the turbulence of the spiritual power.
Then.
The spiritual power gathered together, slowly converging at the location where the Golden Core had been.
After an unknown amount of time.
The spiritual power faintly gathered into the shape of an infant.
Then this infant became more and more solid, forming limbs, forming facial features.
When it fully took shape, it's a miniature version of Yun Jin herself, looking rather cute.
Yun Jin looked at her Nascent Soul and felt some joy.
This Nascent Soul was small, looked exactly like her, and when she looked at it, it felt as though she were looking at her own daughter.
The only difference was.
This Nascent Soul was completely under her control.
From now on,
Her soul, her origin, her spiritual power, all would be contained within the Nascent Soul.
If the Nascent Soul existed, she lived.
If the Nascent Soul was destroyed, she died.
To protect the Nascent Soul, many cultivators even specifically cultivated corresponding techniques, some clad their Nascent Soul in armor, some made the Nascent Soul faster. All kinds of methods could enhance the Nascent Soul's survival ability.
Yun Jin tried pouring her divine sense into the Nascent Soul, then letting it leave her body.
Yun Jin floated in the air, curiously looking at herself sitting cross-legged in meditation.
She sensed this small body.
This Nascent Soul had small arms and legs, but in terms of the five senses, it seemed far superior to the physical body.
With the Nascent Soul leaving the body, one could perhaps see and hear things the physical body couldn't perceive.
But compared to the physical body, the Nascent Soul was too weak, and at the same time far too important.
Therefore, cultivators generally wouldn't risk using the method of Nascent Soul projection.
Traveling through countless worlds, there were also worlds that cultivated Golden Cores and Nascent Souls.
It's just that.
Aside from the Simplification System, Yun Jin's memories and experiences were mostly suppressed.
Only as she cultivated step by step would they gradually be unlocked.
Now.
Yun Jin naturally knew some basic applications of the Nascent Soul.
But as for more advanced methods of controlling the Nascent Soul, even if she had learned them in other small worlds, she couldn't recall them at this time.
Yun Jin was happily flying around in the air, having fun.
Suddenly, Tianpo said somewhat strangely, "Little Master, your Nascent Soul seems a bit strange."
"Strange?" Yun Jin was a bit puzzled.
Tianpo floated closer to her, signaling Yun Jin to use his sword body as a mirror.
Yun Jin leaned over curiously to take a look.
Very quickly.
She also noticed something was off.
This Nascent Soul was no different from an ordinary Nascent Soul.
Only one thing.
Her two eyes.
One was completely black, the other completely white.
This was…
Yun Jin thought of her previous yin-yang Golden Core.
After the yin-yang Golden Core shattered into a Nascent Soul, it had turned into these yin–yang dual pupils.
"This is a mutated Nascent Soul," Tianpo said. "After mutation, some Nascent Souls become weaker than before, some become stronger. This mutation of Little Master's, I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."
Yun Jin curiously looked at her dual pupils, then smiled, "I think it should be a good thing."
In this world, she seemed to have quite a connection with yin-yang.
The sword is the Tai'a Sword.
The Golden Core is a yin-yang Golden Core.
Now, this setting had continued into the Nascent Soul.
Yun Jin suddenly recalled Cang Li's past encounter.
Cang Li had seen a mysterious yin-yang disk, gained inspiration from it, and only then forged the Tai'a treasured sword.
After that, he searched again but could no longer find that mysterious yin-yang disk.
Yun Jin thought that, if she had time, she could go look for it.
That yin-yang disk was probably also one of her opportunities.
But her current cultivation level was probably too low for such a treasure.
If she went now, even if she found it, she would at most be like Cang Li back then, gain a bit of insight, without being able to touch the fundamental source at all.
It would be better to wait until she became stronger before searching again, perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
Tianpo observed for a while and then said, "Anyway, it won't be weaker than an ordinary Nascent Soul."
Yun Jin chuckled, and the Nascent Soul returned from above her head back into her body.
This little Nascent Soul would accompany her all the way until Mahayana Stage.
Tribulation Crossing Stage required passing through a heavenly tribulation to reach Mahayana Stage.
At Mahayana Stage, the Nascent Soul would disappear, becoming a higher-level Primordial Spirit.
Some said that this step was the true "transformation into a god".
As for the so-called Soul Transformation Stage after Nascent Soul Stage, it merely opened up a separate sea of primordial spirit in the sea of consciousness, to serve as the dwelling place of the primordial spirit in the future.
"Little Master, next are you going to derive the Nascent Soul Stage cultivation method?" Tianpo asked, growing a bit nervous.
Right now, Yun Jin had only advanced in realm. Without cultivating a Nascent Soul Stage technique, her combat power wouldn't improve much.
"Don't worry." Yun Jin sat cross-legged once more.
She directly pressed the Simplification button.
To derive Xuan Jue to a perfect Nascent Soul Stage level actually required a full three hundred advanced attempts.
This number made Yun Jin's eyelids twitch.
As her cultivation level increased, this system's appetite for Emotion Points was becoming more and more excessive.
If she wanted to advance quickly, she would still have to earn more Emotion Points!
Although it pained her a bit, Yun Jin still used the attempts and directly obtained the Nascent Soul Stage technique.
"Xuan Jue: Can be cultivated up to Nascent Soul Stage. Technique grade: Low Earth Tier!"
First of all, the grade of Xuan Jue had leaped across a major tier, from Xuan Level to Di Level.
This didn't mean that Xuan Jue was superior to De Level or inferior to Tian Level techniques.
At Nascent Soul Stage, those techniques might not necessarily be stronger than Xuan Jue, nor could they be as suitable for Yun Jin as Xuan Jue was.
It's simply that Xuan Jue could currently only be cultivated up to Nascent Soul Stage, which affected the grade assessment.
Yun Jin examined the changes to Xuan Jue after it evolved to Nascent Soul Stage.
The five divine abilities hadn't changed much.
But in terms of power, all of them had received enhancements.
This was also within expectations.
According to Yun Jin's speculation, the next major change in Xuan Jue would likely be at Soul Transformation Stage.
At Soul Transformation Stage, a primordial spirit pool had to be opened in the sea of consciousness. At that time, Xuan Jue should also evolve divine abilities related to the sea of consciousness and the primordial spirit pool.
Without much hesitation, Yun Jin sat down and directly began cultivating the Xuan Jue technique.
This cultivation went very smoothly. Before long, Yun Jin successfully completed it, officially possessing the combat power of Nascent Soul Stage.
Tianpo guarded her with extreme tension, prepared to act at any moment.
But he had only just started to feel nervous when.
Yun Jin suddenly stood up, jumped lightly, and Nascent Soul Stage spiritual power directly struck the wall.
Tianpo: "???"
Nascent Soul Stage spiritual power.
This meant the transition was already complete?
No wait, how long has it been?
Has an hour even passed yet?
You had already derived the next-stage technique and then cultivated it successfully?
Tianpo felt completely dazed.
He couldn't help recalling his youthful years.
Back then, he had also been a sword that had seen the world. Following the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos, he traveled north and south, saw all kinds of wonders, and met all kinds of geniuses.
Someone like Yun Jin, he naturally had also…
Alright, he couldn't keep up the act anymore!
Tianpo was about to cry.
He had truly never seen anything like this before!
