Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Visibly, the Nascent Soul within Ji Haoyuan's body was rapidly expanding.

Slowly.

On its surface, a layer of pure golden color emerged, and then it swiftly extended, turning completely into pure gold from the inside out.

A supreme realm, unbreakable and unmovable, emanated from within him.

This was the Nascent Soul foundation forged from the twelfth-grade Golden Core and the Innate Pure Yang Fruit.

Ji Haoyuan had a clear feeling.

Even if his Nascent Soul left the physical body, it would still possess an extremely strong survival capability.

At least, it wouldn't be like other Nascent Souls that have a very limited time to exist once detached from the physical form.

It was likely that even as a Nascent Soul, cultivating alone outside had a considerable chance to continue his path without the risk of perishing.

However, Ji Haoyuan could not be completely certain of this.

But he could at least confirm.

If his Nascent Soul were to unsheathe itself, the time it could remain outside would be significantly longer than other cultivators' Nascent Souls.

And, it would not be affected by the various external environments.

Buzz!

Just at that moment, Ji Haoyuan's Nascent Soul suddenly formed a peculiar spell.

The next moment.

On the forehead of his Nascent Soul, a mysterious mark slowly appeared.

Immortal Mark.

Ji Haoyuan almost immediately understood the function of that mark.

Divine Power, Substitute Death!

Yes.

The function of this mark was to substitute death.

No matter how powerful the attack you receive, even if beheaded or your body shattered, this mark can block a calamity for you.

In other words, this divine power mark was equivalent to giving Ji Haoyuan a second life.

However, once the Substitute Death mark is used, trying to condense it again would likely require some time.

But even so, it's already quite remarkable.

Ask which cultivator can have such a means of saving their life as Ji Haoyuan?

Especially during the Nascent Soul stage.

Just as Ji Haoyuan broke through to the Nascent Soul and was frantically absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, a violent storm of Spiritual Qi suddenly arose on the otherwise peaceful Jade Spring Peak.

In the world between Heaven and Earth, enormous funnels of Spiritual Qi formed and kept converging toward Ji Haoyuan's hermitage.

This caused all the cultivators on Jade Spring Peak to feel great astonishment.

Especially Miao Zixi, who was responsible for the daily affairs of Jade Spring Peak.

Recalling Ji Haoyuan's instructions before he went into seclusion.

Miao Zixi suddenly seemed to think of something, and while her heart was lifted, a thick anticipation arose.

If the elder truly is...

Boom!

Suddenly, a more violent drawing force burst out.

This time, it was not only limited to Jade Spring Peak; even the Spiritual Qi from other areas was aroused vigorously, rapidly gathering toward Jade Spring Peak, where Ji Haoyuan's hermitage was located.

The commotion was already beyond what Miao Zixi and the others could conceal.

Master Binghuo, who had come out of seclusion a year ago, along with Master Lei Xia and others, detected the disturbance coming from Jade Spring Peak, and each of their hearts was also greatly shocked.

Junior Brother he...?

Without much hesitation.

Master Binghuo, Master Lei Xia, and Zhang Tianyang, who had just returned to the Demonstration Sect, all rushed towards Jade Spring Peak at the first moment.

Faced with so many Golden Core cultivators appearing at once.

Especially among them, with those who had a very close relationship with Ji Haoyuan, like Master Binghuo and Master Lei Xia.

Even though Miao Zixi often interacted with many Golden Core elders over the years, her mind having been tempered to be extremely experienced.

Yet at this moment, she still felt somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, at this time, Ji Haoyuan's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of everyone present.

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Zhang, Zixi, and all fellow senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Please, I ask you to remove everyone from Jade Spring Peak for me."

"Junior Brother..."

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's voice, whether it was Master Binghuo, Master Lei Xia, or others, their faces could not help showing a mix of expectation and worry.

It was clear.

They already knew exactly what Ji Haoyuan was doing now.

What was about to happen next.

Facing such an event, there was seemingly nothing they could do besides follow Ji Haoyuan's instructions and help him remove everyone from Jade Spring Peak.

Everything relied solely on Ji Haoyuan himself.

Boom!

As Master Binghuo and the others led Miao Zixi and the others away from Jade Spring Peak.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around became even more turbulent.

About half a day later.

The entire sky over Jade Spring Peak was suddenly covered in thick dark clouds.

A suffocating, frightening, and perilous aura.

Arising in the heart of everyone witnessing this scene.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At the same time.

True Monarch Yanfa, True Monarch Xuanyuan, True Monarch Fuguang, and True Monarch Baihua.

All appeared in front of Master Binghuo and the others.

Seeing the arrival of the four, Master Binghuo, Master Lei Xia, Zhang Tianyang, and the others were first startled, then they all bowed in unison.

"We greet the Sect Leader True Monarch!"

"Greetings to the three True Monarchs!"

"Mm..."

The four True Monarchs nodded slightly towards Master Binghuo and the others.

Then, their gaze returned in the direction of Jade Spring Peak.

Buzz!

Immediately, True Monarch Yanfa personally took action, laying down layers of restrictions around him to prevent any possible accidents.

Only at this moment did True Monarch Fuguang and True Monarch Baihua, positioned on the other side, turn to look at True Monarch Yanfa and True Monarch Xuanyuan.

They said, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, do you think, how much chance of success does Nanhua have in ascending to the Nascent Soul this time?"

Upon hearing the question from the two True Monarchs, Master Binghuo and the others behind them also turned their gaze towards True Monarch Yanfa and True Monarch Xuanyuan.

Despite their understanding of Ji Haoyuan.

Knowing that Ji Haoyuan was not someone who would advance recklessly.

Nor someone who would place himself in danger without certainty.

But this matter, after all, was of great importance.

Even Master Binghuo, who knew Ji Haoyuan's character inside out, couldn't help feeling somewhat uneasy.

"This matter, I cannot fully predict either."

True Monarch Yanfa was seen shaking his head first.

"You should know that to ascend to the Nascent Soul, besides the step of Transforming Pill into Infant, you also need to fuse your magical power with the divine soul.

Even after achieving all of the above.

You must then undergo the Thunder Tribulation, Heart Demon Tribulation, and Yin Fire Tribulation, the three great challenges.

And this is the hardest part of ascending to the Nascent Soul.

I suppose you all haven't forgotten.

In the past few hundred years of our Demonstration Sect.

There have been no fewer than three or four who have reached Nanhua's stage.

But they ultimately…"
