Ascending to New Heights
(Well, here goes nothing!) - Jian thought
His breathing was heavily suppressed by the three times normal gravity, and now from going through with the choice of trying to ascend to the next stage on his cultivation path.
His body was tired from being crushed by gravity, while his insides were compressed and turned and twisted using and forcing spirit Qi to flow through his small and weak body before reaching the required realm to do so.
Bai Jian roared in pain as he struggled, his body still feeling contorted, and his insides writhed in agony.
"I need more power!"
Aughh!
His scream echoed through the battlefield as he pushed himself to the limits of his strength.
The surrounding Spirit Qi responded to his call, swirling around him, as if in anticipation of his imminent breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Unlike many Golden Core Cultivators who had failed before him, Bai Jian's determination and unyielding spirit had carried him through mental battle.
As Bai Jian broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, an otherworldly feeling of Spirit washed over him after his transformation.
His hair, once somewhat dark in a type of gradient shade color and unassuming, now radiated a brilliant and ethereal white.
It seemed to glow with almost an inner light, casting an almost otherworldly white halo around his whole body.
This transformation marked a significant shift, an embodiment of his newfound strength and purpose.
Bai Jian, now bearing an imposing and remarkable flair and presence, was floating effortlessly above the ground.
With his feet not touching the ground, and with each subtle movement, the ground quivered in reverence to his power.
Beneath him lay a small crater, a testament to the energy and force he had harnessed to propel himself into a higher realm.
It was as though the very planet Azure acknowledged his ascent, bowing to the greatness he had achieved, now marked by White and Azure lightning dancing around him from one thing to another.
His eyes once filled with determination and unwavering resolve, now glowed with a hazel-white luminescence.
They were the windows to his re-awakened awakened Immortal soul, radiantly beautiful and piercing.
They held the wisdom of his past and present and the power of countless trials and tribulations.
These eyes spoke of his inner strength and the unwavering spirit that had propelled him to this remarkable height.
Beside him, his sword floated in quiet acceptance of its master's newfound strength.
It shimmered with an otherworldly glow, responding to Bai Jian's presence and the bond they now shared.
The weapon, once a mere tool, had now become an extension of his will and power, a symbol of his authority, of his new realm.
As Bai Jian achieved this astounding transformation, the Bai clan elders watched with a mix of awe and pride.
They witnessed a young cultivator's journey, from a determined novice to a Nascent Soul cultivator, the 1st major blockade on a cultivator plath, a feat that would be the stuff of legends.
Beneath Qiang Shizi's inscrutable beautiful white mask, a smile of satisfaction tugged at the man's lips.
It was a triumphant moment, not just for Bai Jian but for the entire Bai clan even if some of them didn't even know him.
The Grand Elder atop the mountain peak far away watching from behind the near mountain range couldn't help but release a satisfied laugh, echoing through the air like a melody of success, his hopes and faith had been vindicated.
With Qiang Shizi, the serene figure in his beautiful white attire, the satisfaction radiated from his concealed expression.
His newfound friend had risen to new heights, and the beauty of this achievement could not be understated.
A sense of fulfillment and contentment filled the air as if the very atmosphere resonated with the remarkable accomplishment they had witnessed.
Bai Jian's determination and unwavering spirit had brought him to this critical moment, where he was pushing the limits of his strength.
Bai Jian, now bearing an imposing and remarkable flair and presence, was effortlessly floating above the ground, now with his feet not touching the ground was crushed beneath him now showing signs of cracking.
With each subtle movement, the ground quivered in reverence to his newfound power. A small crater beneath him bore witness to the energy and force he had harnessed to propel himself to the Nascent Soul Realm.

It had transformed from a mere Spit weapon tool into a symbol of his new authority on this planet.

This accomplishment would undoubtedly become the stuff of legends, and their faith in him had been vindicated.
As the Grand Elder watched from afar, a satisfied laugh echoed through the air, resonating like a melody of success.
With the masked man by his side, the serene figure in beautiful white attire, the satisfaction emanated from his concealed expression.
This older Elder knew someone in his clan had reached new heights, and the significance of this achievement could not be understated.
The atmosphere itself seemed to vibrate with a sense of fulfillment and contentment as if celebrating the remarkable accomplishment they had witnessed.
Haha "I did it!"
White and sky blue lighting danced around him, with sparks jumping from him to the ground.
"Haha, I did it!" Bai Jian exclaimed, his triumphant words carrying the weight of his incredible achievement.
White and sky-blue lightning danced around him, illuminating the battlefield with an otherworldly spectacle.
Sparks crackled and jumped from his form to the ground below, like celestial energy in motion.
Amidst the ongoing battle, Bai Jian's voice rang out once more, echoing with unwavering determination, a clarion call in the midst of chaos.
His journey into the Nascent Soul Realm had just begun, and the challenges awaiting him were nothing short of epic.
Yet, he stood ready to confront them head-on, driven by an unyielding desire to etch his name into the annals of history.
Bai Jian's hand reached for the ethereal white Sword that floated beside him. With a fluid motion, he drew it from its pristine ivory scabbard.
With a flick of his wrist, he banished the storm, but in a valiant effort, before it dissipated entirely, he harnessed the newfound power surging through his body.
The energy concentrated into his bulging right arm, and with a swift, calculated motion, he seized the sword.
A deafening scream of joy and determination filled the air as Bai Jian launched a devastating sword strike toward the dark clouds looming high above.
The blade cleaved through the lingering darkness, shattering it into oblivion.
The heavens themselves recognized his prowess and unveiled a clear, serene sky. White and light blue lightning continued to flicker around him, creating an awe-inspiring display of his strength.
As the remnants of the storm were swept away, the ground beneath him settled in reverence.
Bai Jian's movements were a mesmerizing blend of grace and power, emblematic of his newfound might.
With his right arm pulsing with energy, he held his sword high, an embodiment of his unwavering resolve and strength.
The blade emitted an otherworldly radiance that matched the fire in his eyes.
A final, thunderous cheer erupted from the onlookers, their voices united in celebration of Bai Jian's incredible feat.
His journey in the Nascent Soul Realm had only just commenced, yet he had already left an indelible mark not just in the sky but also in the hearts of all who bore witness to his extraordinary display of power and determination.
With his unyielding spirit, he was prepared to face the daunting challenges ahead and inscribe his name in the annals of legend.
Bai Jian, having ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm and now possessing unprecedented power, understood that he was responsible for ending the conflict and protecting White Crane City.
With newfound wisdom and strength, he devised a plan to address the dire situation.
Negotiation and Mediation: Bai Jian recognized that a direct confrontation would only lead to further destruction. He first sought a peaceful resolution by acting as a mediator between the Huo Clan and the Huo Sect as well as White Crane City's leaders.
He proposed a meeting to discuss grievances and find a way to end the hostilities. His reputation as a newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator would command respect, and his determination to maintain peace would be evident.
On the other hand, Bai Jian thought that reparations could be a part of the negotiations, but with negotiations come compromises and promises, Bai Jian would have to propose that the Huo Clan and Huo Sect provide reparations for the damages they caused to White Crane City through a third party.
This would include rebuilding what was destroyed and compensating those who suffered losses, but at the same time, a third party meant outside connections, outside intervention, and possibly outside intervention, at the same time, that also meant revealing some of his cards early and his enemies knowing his clans and his strength before even throwing the 1st punch in the next possible confrontation.
Bai Jian could also encourage Elder Zhiyuan to step forward and shield some of the responsibility that had happened.
The city had been quiet now, for over 4 minutes, as Bai Jian floated there above the city Square with destruction all around the craters and damage from the fighting from earlier, the city had an eerie feel to it.
Qiang was ready to seek a peaceful resolution to this situation l, every minute here was time away from his true mission: vengeance on those who made him end up in this situation.
"Young Master, are you feeling better?"
... ...
After a couple more minutes of silence, Bai Jian's eyes slowly opened, and then whispered but his voice was carried far and wide outside the city.
" Enough! This fighting stops, everyone who had a hand in this matter will report to the Black Jade Manor, anyone who is late will be fined, anyone who complains will fined and hit with 3 leashes, anyone who does not show up will be thrown it consaltarary confident Retreat for 4 years no exceptions."
