Hu! 

The Genesis Qi between heaven and earth wreaked havoc as it roared, and the terrifying oppressive pressure contained in that earth-shattering form made everyone from the five heavens pale-faced.

The pressure brought about by Zhou Yuan’s breakthrough alone was more terrifying than Bai Xiaolu’s and the others’.

Countless gazes of awe were fixed on the figure in the black hole, which seemed to have become the center of universe Genesis Qi. 

As he breathed in through his mouth like a whale sucking in water, some people even felt the nine main ancestral qi sway slightly. 

That subtle movement shouldn’t be underestimated; the ancestral qi contained in the main veins was unimaginably vast. After all, they could provide for an entire heaven. 

Since Zhou Yuan could cause the veins to sway, he must have inhaled very fiercely.

As they had guessed, Zhou Yuan’s body suddenly swelled after he swallowed that mouthful of vast Genesis Qi. The glass light around him surged frantically, and his powerful bodily strength bound the ancestral qi to his body.

His control of the vast Genesis Qi made many people’s scalps numb.

Playing with such strong Genesis Qi like that could be disastrous if his body wasn’t strong enough—his body would self-explode. 

However, Zhou Yuan simply relied on his Saint Glass Body to receive the vast Genesis Qi. A high-skilled expert was indeed fearless and bold. 

Zhou Yuan’s body heaved up and down several times before the swelling gradually weakened and his body returned to normal.

Such an abnormal physical body, some people thought.

As Zhou Yuan’s body gradually calmed down, two light beams shot out from his eyes and blasted apart a lofty mountain in the distance.

However, no one paid any attention to the beams because their eyes were on the three Heavenly Suns emerging behind Zhou Yuan. 

The three Heavenly Suns that appeared and the dragon-claw runes on them were much clearer than before.

Hua!

This drew exclamations from the audience once again, especially from those who recognized the Dragon-Claw Heavenly Suns. They counted the dragon claws.

“One, two, five, seven…nine?!

When they reached nine, many rubbed their eyes in disbelief and fell silent.

The silence lasted several seconds before gasps of surprise rang out in rapid succession, “Nine-Claw Heavenly Sun!?”

The Dragon-Claw Heavenly Sun was incredibly rare and was superior to the Glass Heavenly Sun. Additionally, the Nine-Claw Heavenly Sun was the top stage of the Dragon-Claw Heavenly Sun, and only very few had been recorded in ancient books. However, they saw one with their very own eyes. 

With complicated gazes, Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong and the others stared at the three Heavenly Suns that represented one’s foundation and potential.

Zhou Yuan could be said to have reached the most extreme level of the Heavenly Sun stage.

Boom!

The three Nine-Claw Heavenly Suns slowly quivered and then gradually moved closer together until the three became one.

A terrifying wave of Genesis Qi slowly rippled out.

Huge changes were similarly happening within Zhou Yuan’s Divine Dwellings. The three Heavily Suns merged together and became a gigantic dazzling sun. Flames blazed around the huge sun. They were of the extreme yang qi. 

But when the extreme yang flames burned to a certain extent, another change happened.

A stream of extreme yin qi was born in the sun’s depths.

The yin and yang qi met, causing the giant Heavenly Sun to vibrate violently, and the pure extreme yang qi gradually merged with the yin qi to become a harmonious aura of yin and yang.

The two were in perfect balance.

As yin and yang merged, the Heavenly Sun, which contained the accumulation of Zhou Yuan’s cultivation over the years, began to compress.

The Heavenly Sun resisted violently, but Zhou Yuan suppressed it. 

This was the path one needed to take to refine a Nascent Source.

If he couldn’t control the rebounding force from the Heavenly Sun, it would be difficult to make the refining pure, and the Nascent Source would be born with flaws.

However, such a situation was generally only seen with people with weaker Genesis Qis and foundations. Zhou Yuan surely wasn’t in that group.

Thus, the Heavenly Sun was ultimately suppressed without any resistance, and it formed a crystal ball about half a foot in diameter.

Starlight shimmered on the crystal ball’s surface, and mysteriously, the sound of a beating heart seemed to come from the inside of the crystal ball. 

Kacha!

Cracks suddenly appeared on its surface and rapidly spread. 

Rays of light shot out from the cracks. 

Bang!

The crystal ball erupted in a blaze of mysterious light. The rays of light triggered changes within the Divine Dwellings as they shone on them. The Divine Dwellings became much more spacious, and at the same time, the rays entwined with each other to form an ancient pattern covering the entire Divine Dwellings.

This was the Nascent Source Boundary.

Once a Nascent Source was born, it would transform the Divine Dwellings and allow them to house even more Genesis Qi. Additionally, it was an extremely powerful defense. Any Genesis Qi that attempted to invade one’s Divine Dwelling to cause destruction would be obstructed by the Nascent Source Boundary.

Moreover, if one encountered critical danger, the Nascent Source Boundary would act as a final defense while the Nascent Source could take advantage of the chance to escape.

The greatest benefit for Nascent Source experts was that the situation could change even if one’s body was destroyed as long as the Nascent Source remained.

This alone was more mysterious than the Heavenly Sun stage.

As the Nascent Source Boundary took shape, a small figure emerged in the depths of the light. 

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes. Following the dramatic changes within his Divine Dwellings, his bearing also changed. 

The mighty waves of Genesis Qi vanished as he stood silently in space without any extraordinary Genesis Qi around him. It appeared as if he had never cultivated Genesis Qi. 

This was the Nascent Source stage’s reserved nature.

All power was thoroughly controlled.

It could split the world with one thought and act ordinary with one thought. 

A satisfied smile curved the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth. He had put in a lot of work and effort, and he had finally achieved what he wanted. 

Now that he had reached the Nascent Source stage, he was a top-tier cultivator wherever he went. 

He was even strong enough to become a peak master in the Cangxuan Sect. 

He lowered his head and ran his eyes over the countless people staring at him with hopeful gazes. He didn’t try to hide anything, and with one thought, a divine light bloomed from the top of his skull. A little shadow sprang up and sat like a buddha on a lotus. 

Looking at the Nascent Source above Zhou Yuan’s head, everyone could immediately determine its size. 

The world fell into a long period of silence.

His Nascent Source was 6.3 inches tall.
