Zheng Fa nodded lightly.
The heart demon Zheng Fa was evidently not stupid:
"The Nascent Soul has an... observer effect?"
He looked frustrated, obviously finding the theory too convoluted, and blurted out, "Why don't you think about it yourself?"
"..."
"I'm stupid! I can't understand this stuff."
"...I won't allow you to call yourself stupid."
"...I really can't, and there's too little information."
Indeed, this theory had too much speculation—in essence, the gap in his strength was too large, making things seem vague.
On the other hand, this heart demon was indeed somewhat incompetent.
He had fundamentally not surpassed his own knowledge and thoughts.
Also liked to cry.
Which made Zheng Fa look down on him.
"...Should I leave?"
Under Zheng Fa's disdainful gaze, the heart demon cautiously said again.
"Wait!"
"..."
"You know all my cultivation techniques, all my memories?"
"Hmm..."
"Then help me refine this 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation'.
The heart demon Zheng Fa suddenly looked up at Zheng Fa, his lips trembling.
I'm a heart demon, and you want me to work?
In the despairing eyes of the heart demon, Zheng Fa nodded slowly:
"I think you can do this."
Although the heart demon didn't have any new insights, he had all of Zheng Fa's knowledge in his head—isn't that an optimal artificial intelligence?
Zheng Fa wanted to create a basic great method from 'Talismanic Dao Foundation Establishment Method' to 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation'.
Actually, there were still many details yet to be refined, especially 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation', which was extremely complex.
Even Zhang found it somewhat troublesome.
The heart demon was very suitable for this job.
Just by looking at the heart demon Zheng Fa's expression... it was obvious he no longer wanted to live.
...
"He's awake!"
Another half month passed before everyone saw Zheng Fa slowly open his eyes.
They couldn't help but rejoice.
Zhao Jingfan was the most delighted.
For half a month, Zheng Fa had been in bad condition, and Master Zhang kept glancing at him.
He was practically on pins and needles!
Now seeing Zheng Fa awaken, Zhao Jingfan's eyes were even teary...
But why did Zheng Fa's expression still seem a bit regretful?
Zheng Fa was indeed regretful.
A month wasn't Zheng Fa's limit, but it was indeed the heart demon's limit...
As soon as he opened his eyes.
His divine soul flew from the mud pill palace into the newly formed Nascent Soul, and they rapidly merged into one, and that originally closed-eyed Nascent Soul, also opened its eyes!
"It's done!"
The usually indifferent Junior Master Huang excitedly exclaimed at this moment.
Clearly, Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul tribulation had exhausted him.
It was done.
As Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul opened its eyes, a tremendous change occurred across the Jiushan Realm:
The spiritual energy outside the realm churned, flooding into the Jiushan Realm, causing the earth, fire, water, and wind to quake without rest.
The Sun and Moon Clock hung in the air, suppressing the turbulent spiritual energy.
Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul was already larger than others, at this moment opening its mouth to devour the surrounding spiritual energy and radiance, its body becoming even more solid, and its aura made Junior Master Huang and the others visibly shocked.
"Is this the early Nascent Soul stage?"
Junior Master Huang and Zhang exchanged glances, feeling that although Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul was newly formed, its spiritual power thickness already surpassed theirs, at least ten times that of an average early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Zhang's expression was also somewhat complex, and she spoke again:
"Actually, with Zheng's Golden Core body, a strong Nascent Soul is also normal..."
Junior Master Huang grinned.
Before, Zheng Fa was strong thanks to the Fusang Wood.
Now it seemed that just in terms of cultivation, Zheng Fa was extremely formidable among the Nascent Souls in the Jiushan Realm.
According to her estimation, purely in terms of robust spiritual power, probably only Senior Brother Yuan could still overpower Zheng Fa.
But bear in mind—Senior Brother Yuan was already in seclusion for Divinity Transformation.
Zheng Fa was just newly in Nascent Soul!
How could they compare?
Didn't you see that Blood River Ancestor and Jiao Wuji both had eyes full of surprise—and even a hint more respect than usual?
Zheng Fa himself was unaware of this group's astonishment.
The feeling of having a Nascent Soul was completely different from that of a Golden Core—
His divine soul felt like a wanderer returning home, melting seamlessly with the Nascent Soul, merging rapidly as one.
As the Nascent Soul gradually solidified, Zheng Fa also felt the extent of his divine soul's reach gradually expanding.
While he was comprehending this, a strange attraction came from above his head.
It's coming!
Zheng Fa had long been anticipating, since both his Foundation Establishment and Golden Core had innate divine abilities.
Then the Nascent Soul should have one too!
As before, his divine soul rose gently along with this force of attraction, but unlike before, Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul also began to fly outward from the Jiushan Realm.
Watching the radiance dragging Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul as it shot out of the Jiushan Realm.
Junior Master Huang's eyes widened even more.
"Ascend into the void with radiance? Was it true from the storybooks?"
Zhang didn't know either, but looking once more to Paradise Island, many mortals were devoutly worshipping the departing Nascent Soul of Zheng Fa, clearly shaken by this legendary scene too.
Let alone mortals.
Even Elder Xiong of the Qingmu Sect and Sect Leader Song, along with some sect leaders who came for the preparatory meeting, were all staring with open mouths, look up and watching as Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul's silhouette drifted away, their expressions somewhat doubtful—evidently finding Zheng Fa's cultivation style was the same as theirs.
...
Zheng Fa's face was also full of doubt.
He followed this attraction to a place in the Xuanwei Realm where he had once gazed thoughtfully at those stars.
After all, if those stars were parallel worlds, or even representing Dao Fruit cultivators...
That would be a huge issue.
Who knew how many formidable cultivators were out there?
This made him inevitably concerned.
But after watching a while, he felt something was off...
He was here to settle the rewards, so why did the progress seem... stuck?
He could feel that his Nascent Soul seemed to resonate with certain entities beyond the heavens.
But nothing from beyond had descended with the innate divine ability.
Eventually, it even felt like the connection was slowly fading away.
What... happened to my divine ability?
Suddenly, the heavens above brightened drastically; Zheng Fa looked up to see a stream of light like a meteor, coming from the depths of the starry sky.
That light overshadowed the brilliance of all the stars.
