Chapter 471: Nascent Soul

Sage had started the process of breaking through as a method to kick out the flame giant. Thankfully, he was successful. If the giant had continued to control his Spiritual Sea, the chances of his breaking through would drop to the bottom. Even now, with how much damage hed suffered it was already going to be difficult. Yet, Sage wouldnt give up. In fact he was extremely confident!

To reach the 6th rank, a cultivator normally needed to reach the 4th degree of understanding with one of the Laws. Hed also learned that reaching the 7th rank required completely mastering a law to the 10th degree. Of course, that only referred to Minor Laws. To reach the 7th rank with a Major Law only required 7 degrees of understanding. Going by that logic, a Primal Law would only require the 4th degree of understanding.

Comprehending a Primal Law while still in the 5th rank was more than enough to force his way into the 6th rank, even with the terrible condition he was in. Or at least thats what Sage was hoping happened! Even if hed scared out the flame for the moment, there wasnt anything stopping it from coming back. If his breakthrough failed, he had a good chance of losing his life.

No, I will not fail!

The dark energy was still funneling into his body from the outside and flowing into his dantian. It was hard to see where the energy was going. The many celestial bodies within his Life Nebula had flared to brightness, but was that where the energy was actually going? Without having the flame giant in his mind to worry about, Sage sunk his consciousness down into his Inner World. He was instantly worried by the scope of the destruction and tried to segregate a portion of the Inner World to be protected from the devastation. One of the islands now seemed to be completely stable and he quickly moved all the inhabitants of the Inner World onto it. He continued on and flew into the core of the planet, passing through that energy barrier and observing the situation at the true core of his dantian.

Only here did he see where that dark energy was truly flowing to. The small tree with its three profound leaves. His soul, in the shape of a man, was sitting cross-legged beneath the tree. When hed become a Core Formation cultivator his soul had moved into the core, using it as shelter. It was the reason that unless a Core Formation cultivators body was completely destroyed, it was very hard to kill them. If the soul didnt leave the body, there were many miraculous medicines in the world that could restore the flesh and blood and give that soul another chance.

The soul pressed its head up against the trunk of the tree. The whole of the area in the Green Core started to tremble and then, the soul sunk into the tree. The sapling was barely the height of a man, yet the much larger soul disappeared into it like water into a sponge. An overwhelming golden light burst forth from the small tree, bathing the Green Core and then expanding out to cover the whole Life Nebula.

Crack!

There was a loud snap, and then the bright light in his body was gone. The entirety of Sages dantian was now empty. Completely and utterly dark. There wasnt a trace of the massive nebula that used to be there. In his head, the Spiritual Sea had disappeared. Not a trace of the stormy clouds and the dark waters. There was no island and no fortress. Only an empty space, much smaller than before, surrounded by dim grey mist remained.

A violently bright light lit up the night in the outside world.

It had already left Sages body and shot up into the sky. Piercing through the layer of clouds, the ball of brightness bathed itself in the light of the stars. The light it emitted was not only blinding, but paralyzing. Somehow it shook the Flares, rattling their nerves and sucking away every last drop of their courage. Not even their boss, the giant, could move a muscle while that terrible light washed over them. They grew fearful of their fate, worrying if this would be their end.

After only a few minutes, the Flares released a collective sigh of relief. The intensity of light in the sky started to fade and they also slowly regained control of their bodies. The glowing light started to descend from the sky and as it got closer the nearest Flares called out in amazement.

Is that a glowing baby?
