Asura Continent

Li Chengming sensed the change on the icy mountain, but the people around him didn't.

Most of the people were still using their magic, and only a small number of Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses looked in their direction. Their eyes were filled with puzzlement.

Li Chengguang was the closest to the ice mountain, so he couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, what happened?"

"You, the aura on the icy mountain has changed, and it's become many times stronger than before." Li Chengming said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, when we were attacking a formation, someone set up a similarly powerful formation here. Even though this formation is incomplete, it is abnormally powerful. What kind of formation is this? "

"No way!" Is there anyone in the world who can set up such a powerful formation in such a short period of time? " Li Chengguang sucked in a breath of cold air, worried, "Then, can we break it?"

"This formation is incomplete. The cultivation of the person who cast it is not high enough. It can be broken through, but it will take at least a day." Li Chengming made some calculations with his fingers, and he had an answer in his heart.

Li Chengguang secretly let out a breath of relief and said, "It's only been a day, there's no need for us to worry."

"Strange. Why do I feel a familiar aura from this formation?" Li Chengming frowned. He had the nagging feeling that he had seen this formation somewhere before, but he was unable to recall it in a short period of time. In the end, he sighed silently and said, "Continue attacking the formation. Take him down by tomorrow morning."

As for Lu Yang, after he swallowed the Nascent Soul Pill, a huge wave of energy entered his body and quickly circulated within his body, forming cycle after cycle. When the nine cycles were completed, the bottleneck that the Lu Yang's cultivation technique was previously unable to touch actually moved. It seemed as though it could break through at any time.

Lu Yang's expression was a bit nervous. Although he had his eyes closed, his brows were constantly trembling. That was because he knew very well that no matter what price one had to pay to be unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, it would still be very costly. Perhaps he could survive by relying on his powerful divine abilities, but what about Dong Ling'er and the others!? They might all die here.

Lu Yang didn't want to see this scene. If he couldn't protect his beloved person, what qualifications did he have to be Ye Ruyan's celestial companion? Lu Yang quickly circulated the Spiritual Qi within his body. However, the more anxious he was, the calmer things became. He just couldn't break through. It was as if he would break through forever in violation of Lu Yang's will?

"What should we do?" Lu Yang did not know what to do. How to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? He knew in his heart that he needed to comprehend the heavens and the earth. However, he did not have the time to continue to comprehend the heavens and the earth. Just like this, Lu Yang continued to ponder on how to comprehend more, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He still couldn't think of a reason why.

After an unknown amount of time, a light flashed through Lu Yang's mind. Deep within his memories, memories of the past that he didn't want to touch began to slowly echo. Lu Yang saw how he was bullied when he was young, saw how his father took him to cultivate in the back mountains, and saw how his mother died.

Afterwards, after a narrow escape from the Lu family and heading to the Mortal Life Academy for cultivation, he met Han Ruoxue on the way.

Things were like a dream. Slowly, many scenes flashed across Lu Yang's mind.

Pain, laughter, injury …

The scene went back to the mountains of ice and snow. Sitting there, he seemed to have understood something. He suddenly gave up cultivating and opened his eyes to look at a place that seemed to be missing something. His gaze was deep and terrifying. This gaze lasted for two hours. No one knew what exactly he was looking at.

Two hours later, a faint smile appeared on Lu Yang's face. "To comprehend the world, one must first comprehend oneself. If one can't even see clearly what they need and what they want to do in the future, how can one comprehend the world?" His divine sense spread out and left the cave. He looked at the snow mountain not far away.

A cold wind blew past, whistling through the air. This was a world of snow.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the ground into snow. This was the beginning and the end of the process.

This just meant life. Where did he come from and where did he want to go?

Lu Yang gradually understood. He was clear that the Lu family was where he came from and the place he was going to was very, very far away. It was so far that he didn't even know where they actually were. However, Lu Yang knew that it was the end of the sky. As long as he flew out of this world, he would be able to find his destination. It was only a matter of time.

To comprehend with one's heart, to control the heavens and the earth; this was the true understanding.

Lu Yang suddenly raised his hand. If someone was here, they would definitely open their eyes wide in shock and think he was crazy.

The instant that palm was raised, it suddenly slammed towards his chest. Under that palm, Lu Yang vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Yang didn't wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His gaze was resolute as he said word by word, "This palm fell for mother. I didn't take good care of mother …"

"This second palm strike was for father's injury. It was because of me that the Lu family was implicated."

"This third palm strike was for Grandpa Su. If it wasn't for Grandpa's secret help, then it wouldn't be where I am today. But I watched as he died, and I was powerless …"

"The fourth palm strike was for Ruoxue …."

"This fifth palm was for Little Wan. She paid so much, but was unable to stop her."

"..."

Lu Yang struck out again and again, and every time he did, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The spirit energy in his dantian became chaotic. Gritting his teeth, a flash of understanding appeared in Lu Yang's eyes.

No one knew how many times Lu Yang had hit, but only he knew why he had to wound himself. It was because his regret was too great, too great. If he couldn't achieve perfection, how could he comprehend the mysteries of this world? Why was the sky so high up in the sky? Because humans could not come into contact with it, and because they could not see its imperfections, he was a mysterious and perfect existence in the hearts of the people.

Understanding the heavens and the earth was better than understanding himself. By doing this, Lu Yang was able to deeply remember past events. Only then would he be able to better understand how to continue down the road in the future. These regrets would not last forever. As long as his cultivation base continued to grow stronger, he would resolve them one by one.

Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul, why did it condense a Nascent Soul but not something else?

This Nascent Soul was actually a tiny version of himself. If you couldn't see what was in your heart, how could you reach the Nascent Soul stage?

The more things a person has in his heart, the more difficult it is to reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, once a cultivator succeeds, their cultivation base will be unimaginably strong, much more powerful than cultivators of the same stage. Lu Yang had too many distracting thoughts. Normally, he wouldn't be able to successfully form his Nascent Soul, but after comprehending his own body, he broke through the restraints of Heaven and Earth and reached an extremely good realm.

This realm did not come from cultivation, nor did it come from strength. Rather, it was an understanding in thought.

Although he could not be said to be the number one person under the starry sky, it would be very difficult to find a cultivator like him in the vast Western Chu Nation. What Lu Yang had comprehended slowly turned into a wave of energy, and this energy silently entered Lu Yang's Dantian.

After this energy entered his dantian, the nine spirit pills began to slowly melt. Rather than melting, it would be more accurate to say that they fused together. The nine different types of energies mutually repelled each other. Normally speaking, there was no possibility of fusing with one another, but Lu Yang had done it. He relied on his own comprehension to forcefully condense these nine energies together.

After an unknown amount of time, the nine great pellets in Lu Yang's Dantian had completely fused together. They no longer released nine different types of light, but turned into the color of flesh, the exact same color as Lu Yang's skin. The energy was still changing, turning into the appearance of a baby. It turned out to be even clearer.

The moment the baby was about to be formed, a light bang reverberated through the baby's body. Although this sound wasn't loud, Lu Yang knew that it was the sound of a heartbeat inside the Nascent Soul. With a heartbeat, his internal organs rapidly appeared, and then his blood and meridians. All the characteristics of a human body appeared within the body of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

At that moment, Lu Yang felt a life appearing within his body. This life was him, he was that life.

Such a strange feeling was very strange. Lu Yang knew that this was his second body. Any Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would have to take this step as long as they got used to it. However, Lu Yang could feel that this Nascent Soul was abnormally weak. He didn't know why, but he still hadn't opened his eyes.

The Nascent Soul that appeared in his body didn't mean that he had reached the Nascent Soul stage. This was only the first step to breaking into the Nascent Soul stage.

However, how to open the eyes of the nascent soul, and how to break through the current realm?

Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a majestic energy from the heavens and earth come to this snowy mountain at an astonishing speed. It ignored the surrounding formations and finally came to his cave abode, entering his body. Lu Yang's body trembled. He finally understood why that nascent soul had never opened its eyes. It was because it was waiting for something that belonged to him, or to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang revealed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

After understanding the mystery behind it, Lu Yang once again closed his eyes, crazily absorbing the energy from the heaven and earth.

At this time, something strange happened on the icy mountain. The snow on the mountain started to fall and roll towards the foot of the mountain. Regardless of whether it was the formation on the mountain or the killing formation that Lu Yang set up, both were collapsing at a rapid pace. According to this speed, in an hour, the first formation would completely leave the gap and the one that Lu Yang set up would disappear.

Dong Ling'er and the others all had pale faces and were covered in blood.

Everyone had already endured for three days and three nights. Having used up all of the spiritual energy in their bodies, they were no longer able to persevere.

Li Yun's eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness. He didn't think he would die here, but he didn't regret it.

Ye Ruyan smiled faintly. She didn't care about anything. As long as she could die together with Lu Yang, no matter how she died, it didn't matter where she died.

Dong Ling'er, on the other hand, had a resolute look in her eyes. She looked at Lu Yang's cultivation abode and muttered to herself, "Lu Yang, I know you're about to wake up. I know you'll succeed."

"..."

Outside the snowy mountain, Li Chengming laughed out loud and shouted, "Lu Yang, Ye Ruyan, the moment the formation collapses will be the day you die …"
