What If I Can’t Die.

289 Advancing to the Nascent Soul realm

He needed to use the Spirit Command Talisman to leave a mark in Bai Yu’er’s soul. Only then could he completely control her.

“Blood-Robed old ghost, show mercy. I can swear not to be your enemy again.”

Bai Yu’er begged for mercy.

“Why are you saying all this? You could have chosen not to provoke me. Unfortunately, you did not.”

Song Shi’s glabella lit up brightly. His Spiritual Power turned into an illusory him and flew out. After forming a seal, it shrank and formed a light that suddenly shot onto Bai Yu’er’s head.

Buzz!

The air trembled slightly, and circles of ripples spread out. Then, all the runes formed a vortex and quickly fused into the space between Bai Yu’er’s eyebrows.

The latter’s eyes lost focus and fell into a daze.

In his mental world, Song Shi stepped in wearing clothes made of purple-black runes.

In front of him was a world of ice and snow. It was similar to the scene that appeared when Bai Yu’er invaded his spiritual world. In the center of the snow, a white snake was struggling.

Powerful Spiritual fluctuations spread out like a storm. Unfortunately, the power of the runes was stronger and had already invaded Bai Yu’er’s primordial spirit like gangrene.

“The body nurturing the Essence Soul is still inferior to the Nascent Soul nurturing the Essence Soul. Not only that, I have also destroyed your Soul Clone.”

Song Shi said and pointed his finger, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back. His thoughts penetrated her primordial spirit and went deep into it.

In the outside world, Bai Yu’er’s snake body instantly collapsed to the ground. Only her instincts were left twitching, but her eyes became lifeless.

A unique connection was established between the two sides. As long as Song Shi was willing, he could make Bai Yu’er suffer extreme agony or even death with a thought.

This affliction was on the soul level. Unless Bai Yu’er was strong enough to break free from the power of the runes, she could only be at his mercy. She could not die even if she wanted to.

Song Shi opened his eyes. At the same time, a purple talisman appeared above Bai Yu’er’s head. It gradually dimmed in the light.

After all, Bai Yu’er’s cultivation level was high and her physique was strong. Even after being tortured by the Spirit Command Talisman for a while, she still woke up quickly.

Restoration returned to her eyes. She looked at Song Shi with a complicated gaze and said reluctantly, “I should have committed suicide decisively. Now, I have to be your slave for the rest of my life.”

“Not a slave, a pet.”

Song Shi shook his head. “The treatment of pets is not bad. It’s even better than being treated as a person sometimes.”

“It’s still shameful!”

Bai Yu’er gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to scold Song Shi. The runes that had invaded her primordial spirit were very strange, and they did not allow her to have any thoughts of disobeying him.

“What if you have the chance to become an immortal in the future?”

Song Shi asked, “Don’t you think that your future is very bright now?”

Bai Yu’er returned to her human form and faced him naked. The whites of her eyes revealed more, “With your ability to cause trouble, I might not live to see that day.”

Song Shi smiled awkwardly. “I’ve already learned my lesson. In the future, I’ll keep a low profile and cultivate as incognito as possible.”

“Do you know the saying that a leopard never changes its spots?”

Bai Yu’er did not believe him.

“I’m very cautious by nature. It’s just that I was impetuous and lost my heart.”

Song Shi shook his head with a rueful expression.

He had lived in the Song family for more than ten years, so he naturally wasn’t as arrogant as he was now. Otherwise, given the fact that he was targeted by the main branch his whole life, he would probably have died countless times before he could become an adult.

Uh, if he had been killed by the main branch back then, he could have awakened the system earlier. Unfortunately, he did not know that he had a cheat and hence always kept a low profile.

After experiencing a mix of emotions, Song Shi ordered, “Cut the crap. Come and help me cultivate.”

The purple rune on Bai Yu’er’s glabella flashed as she revealed an afflicted expression. In the end, she obediently walked over and cooperated with Song Shi in his cultivation.

When the Yin-Yang Image appeared, Bai Yu’er did not forcefully seize the power anymore. Song Shi was hence able to absorb nineteen percent of their fused power this time

“Give me another ten percent.”

Song Shi ordered and immediately received an additional force. The abundant Spiritual Qi was absorbed and refined by him to nurture his Nascent Soul.

In his Dantian, the Golden Core that was burning with flames began to change. It was not only the extreme Nine Yang Nomological power, but also the source of the Yin energy.

Coincidentally, he had awakened his Water Spirit Root. This Yin Origin kept strengthening and fusing with the Nine Yang Nomological power.

The Golden Core spun rapidly. Not long after, the Golden Core cracked and began to melt, forming an energy vortex similar to the Yin-Yang Image.

In the center, Song Shi’s divine consciousness fused into it, and his Golden Core began to change. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a small person that looked exactly like Song Shi but an infant version.

This was Song Shi’s Nascent Soul. It was less than three inches tall and was surrounded by fire dragons and water snakes.

He opened his mouth and sucked. The power of his Golden Core was quickly devoured. He grew rapidly from three inches to half a foot.

Beside the Nascent Soul, there were nine fireballs burning. Those were nine small Golden Cores. In the future, they could even form nine Golden Cores to strengthen the Nascent Soul.

In the palace, Song Shi’s aura surged, and the aura he released made Bai Yu’er feel pressured.

A golden Nascent Soul emerged from Song Shi’s head. Its eyes were filled with intelligence as it said with a smile, “This was created by the two of us.”

“Congratulations on your breakthrough.”

Bai Yu’er said with a complicated expression.

“This is nothing. This realm is not difficult for me.”

Song Shi’s Nascent Soul took a step forward and disappeared above his head. It ignored the resistance and instantly appeared in a corner of the palace. This was true teleportation.

“Because of my divine consciousness, the Nascent Soul realm can quickly arrive. The concept of space is much clearer to me now. As expected, the Nascent Soul realm is the shortcut to comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.”

Song Shi smiled and twisted his Nascent Soul to take a look, “In fact, it’s a special Golden Core that can walk flexibly. But it’s still relatively weak and can’t stay outside for too long.”

After experiencing the feeling of his Nascent Soul being outside for a while, Song Shi’s Nascent Soul dimmed a little and returned to his body in a flash.

Then, a terrifying devouring power erupted from his body. Like a bottomless pit, he crazily devoured the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Half of the power condensed from the dual cultivation was directly sucked away.

Song Shi’s realm rapidly consolidated as his Nomological powers began to increase exponentially. His body and soul transformed as his essence, energy, and spirit rose to another level.

“He broke through so smoothly. He’s indeed not an ordinary person.”

Bai Yu’er sighed in her heart. The other party was so powerful. It would be even more difficult to break free from his control now.

RUMBLE!

In the outside world, the weather changed, and dark clouds began to gather.

The power of Song Shi’s breakthrough still stirred the power of heaven and earth, forming a new level of lightning tribulation.

In theory, he had to pass the Lightning Tribulation Purification before he could completely step into the Nascent Soul realm.

“I’m going out for a tribulation.”

Song Shi stood up and directly controlled the Array to leave the underground palace. He opened a teleportation door and easily arrived outside.

His explosive strength was like an unstable vortex, stirring up the power of heaven and earth. The lightning tribulation became even more ferocious, and large amounts of lightning flickered in the black clouds.

RUMBLE!

A lightning dragon that was more than ten times more terrifying than a Golden Core descended from the sky and struck Song Shi’s body, causing him to stagger.

“How numbing, it’s actually quite comfortable.”

Song Shi commented. Before he could show off, the world lit up and an even thicker lightning bolt arrived in the blink of an eye.

With a loud bang, Song Shi was blasted to the ground, creating a huge pit.

Fissures appeared on the mountain slope beside him, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared near the huge pit formed by the lightning.

“His lightning tribulation is much stronger than for other Nascent Soul cultivators…”

Bai Yu’er looked at the thunderclouds that enveloped a radius of one hundred thousand feet. “Soul Transformation cultivators cannot be compared to him. His foundation is too deep.”

The lightning tribulation of a cultivator was related to one’s strength. The stronger one was, the stronger the lightning tribulation they would usually trigger. This person’s lightning tribulation was comparable to the level of some people who had just broken through to the Soul Transformation realm. It was really terrifying.
