The Way of The Dao

Chapter 331 Yun Mengxin's Divine Damnation

?"There are no beasts around here, it's a good place." Long Yuyin commented when she scanned the surroundings of where they were.

Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo, Long Yuyin, Tang Wanying, Zhang Xinya and Lan Yin were all near the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake>.

Yun Mengxin nodded and said, "Our man had already confirmed that curiously, no demonic beasts were approaching this place, so there should be no problem."

Yun Mengxin then separated from the girls and walked a little way away from them before sitting cross-legged and running her cultivation technique: the Immortal Secret Art: <Divine Ascension of the Ice Phoenix>.

Yun Mengxin had recently begun to feel that her cultivation was beginning to show signs of wanting to break through, to which she told the other girls that she would soon have her divine damnation in order to enter the state of the Nascent Soul.

Yun Mengxin remembered everything about divine damnation from Ling Tian's memories, so she prepared herself completely.

Her cultivation essence began to run quickly through all her meridians as her golden core began to spin and absorb spiritual energy as well.

The other girls stayed several meters away from Yun Mengxin, watching and waiting for the divine damnation.

During this time that Ling Tian had been absent, Yun Mengxin explained to them about the divine damnation that one would face upon entering the next greater realm from the stage of the Nascent Soul.

Now, they were about to witness the divine damnation that would help one break the shackles and advance to the next realm, so they focused meticulously.

It did not take long when the skies began to darken, gradually clouding over where they stood.

"It is about to begin." Tang Wanying said as the lightning began to subtly illuminate the skies.

Rumble!

Immediately, the girls watched in awe as 9 small lightning bolts fell from the sky and headed towards Yun Mengxin.

The 9 small rays the size of a baby's fingers fell one by one on Yun Mengxin, tearing off part of her dress as she quickly rushed to her method of cultivation.

Her cultivation essence and golden core absorbed the power of divine damnation to advance.

Yun Mengxin also began to attack the barrier of the Nascent Soul, but could barely make waves at it.

Crack!

Her golden core cracked and began to gather more energy insanely. Her cultivation essence strongly attacked the barrier, starting to form the cracks in it.

Divine damnation would help the cultivator to succeed in breaking the barrier of the realm and bestowing more power, qualitatively improving one's power.

From the state of the Nascent Soul, one would face nine waves of nine thunderbolts to break the barrier and gain more power. If the divine damnation ended and one could not break the barrier, then that person's cultivation would go back 2 levels and they would be very harmed.

Rumble!

A second wave fell with 9 slightly larger rays, falling in consequence toward Yun Mengxin.

Yun Mengxin scowled slightly at the pain that the rays brought. And not only that, her meridians began to hurt slightly because of the energy the bolts of lightning were giving her.

Her golden core was spinning faster, looking as if it would break at any moment.

Yun Mengxin knew that once her golden core was broken, an essence spirit would form and have her own soul essence. But she would have to be careful with that too.

Yun Mengxin attacked the barrier of the Nascent Soul even harder, almost to the point of destroying it.

Rumble!

The third wave fell with nine more thunderbolts, hitting Yun Mengxin's beautiful body strongly.

Crack!

Woosh!

Finally, her golden core was broken, allowing her to form her soul essence. Her body felt freer, as if shackles had been lifted and she now began to see the world a little differently.

A Chi spirit came down from the heavens and together with the Chi spirit of the world, filled her body with vitality and more power, healing in part the slight wounds that the divine condemnation had made her.

Yun Mengxin could see a miniature of herself in her Dantian and smiled happily.

She had officially entered the state of the Nascent Soul!

However, there were still five more waves of divine damnation to come.

Yun Mengxin quickly focused her spirit on her mind, slowly beginning to open her own Sea of Knowledge.

"I will use the energy of divine damnation to make my sea of knowledge grow faster." Yun Mengxin whispered as she waited to use the powerful energy of divine damnation in her favor.

The realm of the Nascent Soul is also the beginning of the formation of one's Knowledge Sea.

In the sea of knowledge, one would have there all one's life, one's memories, one's knowledge, one's abilities, one's thoughts, absolutely everything. That is why no one lets others easily into their own seas of knowledge.

Her essence spirit began to gather energy, focusing on gathering small strands of spiritual energy and bringing it together in what would be her sea of knowledge.

Rumble!

The fifth wave fell again with 9 slightly larger and larger thunderbolts, but this time, Yun Mengxin didn't care much for them.

Her power had increased enormously and she had now officially entered the stage of the Nascent Soul. Therefore, these divine rays could not do her much harm, instead, she harnessed their power to draw their energy and form her own sea of knowledge.

Rumble!

The sixth wave fell on Yun Mengxin. A total of 54 slightly larger rays had struck Yun Mengxin.

Now only 27 more rays were missing.

Rumble!

The seventh wave fell, with amazing power entering Yun Mengxin's body as she quickly began to gather her spiritual energy, eventually forming a small current from her own sea of knowledge, illuminating the dark place.

Yun Mengxin gathered much more energy, trying to make the most of the energy that the bolts of lightning gave her.

Rumble!

The eighth wave of divine damnation fell, filling Yun Mengxin's body with more energy.

Her spiritual energy gathered insanely in her sea of knowledge, gathering smaller and smaller strands of spiritual energy, forming a small river.

Rumble!

The ninth and final wave of divine damnation finally fell, with 9 thunderbolts hitting Yun Mengxin's body at the same time.

These rays were almost twice the size of the first wave, showing that with each wave it would become stronger and more ferocious.

Woosh...

A Chi spirit flooded Yun Mengxin's body, the result of successfully passing divine damnation and officially entering the realm of the Nascent Soul.

Her mind was focused on her sea of knowledge. Her experiences, her memories, her knowledge, her abilities, her life, were beginning to be stored in this place, gradually filling the interior.

Yun Mengxin finally sighed after a long time.

She was now in her soul form in her own Sea of Knowledge.

Her Sea of Knowledge was shaped like a small lake, but she was already satisfied with this result.

Yun Mengxin knew that from the state of the Nascent Soul one would slowly form their own sea of knowledge, and now, the size of her own sea of knowledge was comparable to a cultivator in the early state of Separation and Reunion.

Yun Mengxin calmly observed her own memories that would always be stored in this place, especially watching the scenes of her life related to Ling Tian.

A loving and happy smile formed on her beautiful face.

Coming out of her Knowledge Sea, Yun Mengxin changed into a characteristic beautiful white-blue robe and went to where the other girls were.
