What If I Can't Die?-Chapter 123 - Let Me Borrow him
123 Let Me Borrow him
Although he knew that the next realm was the Nascent Soul realm, he still felt that it was rather magical when he saw Zi Yue like this. This process really felt like giving birth to a child.
Actually he felt that this process was even more mysterious than childbirth.
Childbirth only required the union of a man and a woman. He really did not understand how a Nascent Soul is condensed.
“Stop your foul jokes. This is the Nascent Soul I condensed. If you can reach this realm in the future, you will also give birth to a baby.”
Zi Yue rolled her eyes at Song Shi and walked in the air with her hands behind her back. She circled the area with a happy expression.
“From today onwards, I, Zi Yue, am a Nascent Soul!”
At this moment, Zi Yue looked innocent and happy like a child, but Song Shi was not in the mood to enjoy this joyfulness because he was extremely weak.
Even when he was just a playboy, he was not so weak, right now he was so weak that he did not even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, the wind and clouds in the sky changed. A dark cloud gathered, and lightning flickered in it.
Zi Yue sensed the change and the smile on her Nascent Soul’s face disappeared. In a flash, it jumped and collided with the top of her body and disappeared.
Swoosh!
Zi Yue opened her eyes and a pair of blazing light shot out. She said solemnly while handing Song Shi a pill, “My lightning tribulation is here. I will need to go out to ascend it. This is an Essence Returning Pill. It can replenish your energy.”
With a flick of her finger, the Essence Returning Pill landed in Song Shi’s mouth, turning into a warm medicinal efficacy that spread out, allowing the depleted Essence Energy in Song Shi’s body to recover a little.
“Thanks for feeding me.”
Song Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He did not see the lightning tribulation, but he could vaguely sense a destructive aura nearby. He said worriedly, “You won’t be struck to death by lightning, right? Then I’ll have been sucked dry for nothing.”
“Don’t worry. My foundation is deep and I’ve long cultivated my Spirit Body. It’s just a Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation. It’s a small matter. It can help me consolidate my cultivation.”
Zi Yue smiled proudly. She stood up and formed a seal. The Array Formation above her head and the roof of the hall opened. She turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the hall, flying towards the thunderclouds.
Then, the lightning flashed brightly. Song Shi heard a loud bang. A purple full moon was struck by the lightning. In an instant, the lightning was shattered by Zi Yue and turned into electric snakes that danced in the sky.
“Fierce.”
Song Shi was surprised. One really had to be strong enough to achieve such a powerful feat.
RUMBLE!
Dark clouds rolled, and an even thicker bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on Zi Yue’s body.
Cracks had already appeared on Zi Yue’s body from the first collision with the lightning tribulation. She was hit by an even stronger lightning tribulation. With a crack, Zi Yue’s Moon shield was completely shattered, and her slender figure was directly struck by the lightning.
“There are two Nascent Soul lightning tribulations. The second one broke through her Dharmic powers, but with her strong Spirit Body, she should be fine.”
Song Shi muttered. He knew that every time a cultivator stepped into a major realm from the Golden Core realm onwards, there would be a lightning tribulation.
After the Golden Core Tribulation, the difficulty of each tribulation would increase with every major realm, and its power would be even more terrifying.
However, Zi Yue’s Spirit Body was comparable to the strength of Numinous artifacts. It should not be a problem for her to withstand a lightning tribulation.
The lightning flashed for a moment before dissipating, revealing Zi Yue, who was emitting Will-O-Wisps and had a layer of rune patterns floating on her body.
“Haha, congratulations to Lord Zi Yue for perfecting and advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, allowing our Yao Moon Palace to officially have three Perfected Lord cultivators overseeing it.”
Amidst his laughter, a woman with snow-white hair appeared.
Her body was petite, and her voice was old. She was the Palace Master of the New Moon Palace, Perfected Lord Yao Yue. She was already more than a thousand years old, and her pure white light was exactly like the moon in the sky, making the moons of the other Golden Core cultivators pale in comparison. Only Zi Yue could compare to her, although barely. Clearly, her Nomological power was unfathomable.
“Zi Yue has a deep foundation. Once she breaks through, she will immediately become the cornerstone of our Yao Moon Palace. In the future, the pressure on the two of us will be much less.”
Another old woman appeared out of thin air. There was nothing unusual about her. Her hair was gray, and her face was filled with wrinkles when she smiled. There were also many age spots on her face.
Her body was hunched, and she held a black walking stick with a golden dragon head in her hand. She looked like an ordinary old lady.
“Thank you, Palace Master and Grand Elder.”
Amidst the lightning, Zi Yue steadied herself and bowed to the two of them.
“Bai Yue congratulates Senior Master Zi Yue!”
A woman in white flew out and congratulated Zi Yue as the first among her peers.
In the cultivation world, because cultivators had a long lifespan, seniority was related to cultivation. At least on the surface that is, they could call them whatever they wanted in private.
On the surface, if a Golden Core cultivator called him Senior Brother or Senior Master, not to mention what others would think, even he would find it strange given his lower level.
However as Zi Yue has broken through, her senior brothers and sisters would have to call her Senior Master.
Soon, figures appeared one after another. Regardless of whether they were truly happy for her or not, they all congratulated her.
Song Shi looked at the moons and sun phenomena floating in the void. These phenomenons were all from Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators. The stronger one was, the bigger their phenomena was, and the brighter the light produced.
Other than the old woman who did not reveal anything, the other one’s phenomena looked like two big moons and more than ten small moons and suns floating in the Void. It was especially spectacular.
Song Shi sized up these moons and suns and realized that, other than their size and brightness, their colors and nature of power were also different. This meant that these were all different cultivation techniques that were cultivated using the same ‘system’.
“With so many Golden Cores, the Yao Moon Palace is indeed a top cultivation sect in Great Qian.”
Song Shi sighed. If his family had so many golden cores, would they have still been destroyed by Hei Duzi?
“These women should also be beauties. Forget it, I won’t take a peek at them with my divine consciousness. With Nascent Soul cultivators around I will be easily discovered and it will be awkward if I get discovered.”
Song Shi rolled his eyes and gave up on the idea of peeking at the beauties. Google search 𝑓𝒓e𝑒w𝑒𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃ℯ𝙡. c𝚘m
While he was observing the higher-ups of the Yao Moon Palace, there were also people who secretly sized him up. They were rather curious about the man who helped Zi Yue form her Nascent Soul.
“Zi Yue, come to the conference hall. Now that you’re a Nascent Soul, it’s time to adjust your title and position.”
The Palace Master led everyone, who turned into rays of light, to fly into a colorful hall above the Violet Moon Palace. They entered a hall with many seats.
The people who entered dispersed their Nomological power phenomena, revealing many more women than men. They all walked to their seats.
There were three seats at the head of the table. The Palace master and the matriarch sat in the middle and on the left. They smiled at Zi Yue and said, “Sit here.”
...
Zi Yue did not stand on ceremony and sat down generously, attracting the envious gazes of many Golden Core cultivators.
Palace master Yao Yue actually looked like a young girl. If not for the vicissitudes of life present in her eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that she was a Nascent Soul.
She said with a dignified expression, “Zi Yue has successfully formed her Nascent Soul. The Violet Moon Hall she’s in should rise to the center of the Sun-Moon Splendor Array and she will officially become a grand elder. Does anyone have any objections?”
The Golden Core elders shook their heads and naturally had no objections.
Palace master Yao Yue took out a token and chanted an incantation. The light of the sun and moon fluctuated in the hall, and the entire Array Formation changed.
In the next moment, Zi Yue’s hall on the second floor suddenly rose. Her palace arrived at the top in one breath and stood side by side with a colorful palace, jade palace, black palace and a pavilion. She was only slightly lower than the colorful palace and jade palace by half a foot.
Song Shi, who was in the Zi Yue Hall, sensed the change. He sensed that the concentration of Spiritual Qi had suddenly increased by ten times. He jumped to the top exit in surprise and looked outside in shock.
Inside the Violet Moon Palace, he could see that the five palaces floated at the highest point of the Array with the colorful palace as the core. There was actually a phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together in the colorful palace. The light was resplendent and one could not look at it directly.
Below this level, palaces and pavilions were arranged in a circular formation. They were still slowly rotating, secretly conforming to certain rules of heaven and earth.
“How magnificent.”
...
Song Shi exclaimed. This was such a spectacular scene, something a mere mortal would never be able to see.
“Ahem, Senior Master Zi Yue, I am wondering if you can lend me your disciple’s Dao companion.”
While Song Shi was looking at the panoramic view of the inner sanctum of the Yao Yue Palace, in the meeting hall, an old woman in green shamelessly spoke out what many others were thinking of as well.
