Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1666 Greatly Increased Strength, Heading to the Spirit Beast Mountain Market

Looking at the lightning falling from the sky, Jiang Chen opened his mouth directly.

As he swallowed bolts of dazzling lightning, the energy surging within his body intensified, seemingly reaching a stable saturation point.

"It must be refined first."

Jiang Chen felt that it would be difficult to refine the body using only the Thunder Tempering Technique.

Jiang Chen quickly stopped absorbing the lightning and began to focus his energy in his dantian, attempting to integrate the raging lightning within his body. The excruciating pain caused Jiang Chen's face to gradually contort.

Due to the Thunder Tempering Technique, dozens of bolts of lightning seemed to be enveloped in a specific space within his dantian. By looking into his dantian, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the intense pain and sense of crisis brought to him by the lightning within his body.

The Thunder Tempering Technique truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme body-refining method, but the destructive aura emanating from the lightning and the violent impact on Jiang Chen's body were undeniable. Jiang Chen dared not delay any longer. If these dozens of powerful and domineering lightning bolts were to wreak havoc within his body, he would undoubtedly explode and die, turning into nothingness the next moment.

"The Thunder Tempering Technique is not enough."

"It must be refined using the Nine Heavens Clan Suppression Technique."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen silently recited the incantation, focused his mind, and the barrier that bound the lightning in his dantian began to slowly shrink, forming another small world of lightning within his dantian with dozens of lightning bolts.

Bolts of lightning raged wildly.

Dozens of bolts of lightning began to fiercely strike the Golden Core!
This golden core was almost inextricably linked to Jiang Chen's life. Despite being bombarded by dozens of lightning bolts, it began to frantically absorb the energy within the lightning. However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale.

Jiang Chen's expression hardened, but he still stared intently at Jiang Chen without making any move.

Jiang Chen's consciousness gradually became blurred. The rampage of lightning within his body almost instantly caused unprecedented damage to his entire internal organs. His dantian was damaged, and all his internal organs were injured by the power of lightning. That destructive aura spread to every corner of Jiang Chen's body.

"How is this going?"

"Are you going to die?"

Jiang Chen's heart was roaring with rage, and an unimaginable tenacity sustained him, preventing him from silently collapsing.

The lightning was absorbed and refined in his dantian.

The lightning strikes gradually became less intense than at the beginning. Just then, Jiang Chen's mind and spirit were in turmoil. By now, he seemed to be on the verge of collapse, hanging on by a thread, which was Jiang Chen's last bit of determination!
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Although his complexion was not good, his eyes, filled with determination and a determination to achieve his goal, gave Dou Zhan a jolt.

However, the power of thunder was still extremely strong, and Jiang Chen activated the Thunder Tempering Technique and the Nine Heavens Suppressing Clan Technique.

The golden core in the dantian began to spin rapidly, frantically absorbing the power of lightning. Although the lightning still struck the golden core from time to time, it no longer had the initial overwhelming force. With this ebb and flow, clusters of lightning continuously poured into the golden core, seemingly beginning to repair the somewhat broken golden core.

Another hour passed, and the lightning within Jiang Chen's body was finally absorbed by the golden core. There was no longer a trace of violent lightning power, and the golden core had basically returned to its original form. However, as the golden core rotated, it occasionally flashed with amazing lightning, which shocked Jiang Chen.

The dantian within his body returned to tranquility. However, the terrifying lightning power contained within the golden core constantly stimulated Jiang Chen's nerves!
He succeeded!
Before he could finish celebrating, the sky was once again covered with dark clouds.

The tribulation of lightning descended once more.

"what?"

"Another tribulation of lightning?"

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wasn't the tribulation over already?

Why are you here again?
"Could it be..."

Jiang Chen thought of a possibility.

He had previously allocated attribute points to his physique, and the Thunder Tempering Technique he had just used to refine the lightning tribulation was a form of body tempering.

So, he broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm through body refinement?

So, body tempering also requires overcoming tribulations?
"Then come on!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, preparing to undergo the tribulation.

However, the pressure of that heavenly tribulation had already reached Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel the terrifying power within it.

Jiang Chen stood still, activating the Thunder Tempering Technique. This made his aura even stronger, and the pressure of the heavenly tribulation could not force him to bow his head in the slightest.

As the Thunder Tempering Technique was activated, lightning crackled around Jiang Chen's body. Although it wasn't powerful enough, it was more than enough to protect his body, especially since Jiang Chen had no intention of resisting the heavenly tribulation.

In ordinary heavenly tribulations, lightning tribulations come first, but Jiang Chen wanted to continue absorbing lightning tribulations to temper his body.

Tempering the physical body with lightning tribulation is something only a few cultivators or demons who focus on physical cultivation would do. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you will be shattered to pieces. Even if you don't die, your physical body will likely wither, your meridians will die, and you will lose all your cultivation.

However, with his recent success, Jiang Chen was even more confident.

The heavenly tribulation is fierce, and the power of thunder is formed from the vast and righteous energy between heaven and earth. It has the power to annihilate all evil and filth. Its power is so vast and boundless that it seems that the physical body cannot withstand it.

"boom!"

Thunder rumbled between heaven and earth.

Streaks of lightning spread out from the dark clouds in the sky, pierced through the void, and instantly emerged from above Jiang Chen's head, landing on his body.

The lightning struck so fast that even someone who had broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm couldn't keep up. So, Jiang Chen didn't even have time to react before it hit him.

That tingling, numb sensation rippled through Jiang Chen's body, leaving him completely numb, as if all sensation had vanished.

In the blink of an eye, the clothes Jiang Chen had just put on were blasted into dust again. Meanwhile, the Thunder Tempering Technique and the Nine Heavens Suppressing Clan Technique within his body were operating wildly. When the lightning struck him, the strands of lightning power seeped into his body, trying to destroy it. However, the power of these two techniques was absorbed into his body and transformed into his own power. On the contrary, the power of the lightning seemed to have slightly enhanced his physical strength, making his muscles and bones even more resilient and solid.

Jiang Chen's expression brightened with joy.

It worked!

I wonder how long this tribulation, which involves breaking through from the Body Refinement Realm to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, will last? And how powerful will it be at its peak?
While Jiang Chen was pondering, the heavenly tribulation seemed to have been enraged by him.

Countless tiny lightning bolts, each the size of a fingertip, spread out from the void, forming a massive net of lightning that enveloped Jiang Chen, as if he were draped in a garment woven from lightning.

Jiang Chen's body trembled uncontrollably. His skin was covered with countless lightning bolts, and his muscles trembled constantly. The true essence in his golden core boiled up instantly, surging and roaring within his meridians. In particular, the visualized lightning that was originally clearly visible in his mind gradually became clearer in the blink of an eye.

Within Jiang Chen's eyes, there seemed to be endless lightning, constantly flickering and dying. The Thunder Tempering Body Technique and the Nine Heavens Suppressing Clan Technique were running wildly. The lightning power that entered his body was transformed into Jiang Chen's own power almost in the blink of an eye. As the Thunder Tempering Body Technique continued to grow stronger, the Nine Heavens Suppressing Clan Technique was not to be outdone, constantly absorbing this lightning power.

"It's easier than before."

Jiang Chen looked up and grabbed upwards with both hands. A thick bolt of lightning was pulled out from the void and forcefully merged into his body.

"This heavenly tribulation is precisely what I need to use to strengthen my power."

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, his voice filled with an indescribable air of heroic spirit.

The lightning entered his body, penetrating to the most minute parts of Jiang Chen's body. The impurities that were originally contained within were all forced out, and finally turned into ashes.

Jiang Chen felt incredibly relaxed all over. Some filth that he couldn't usually detect was exposed under the thunder.

Nine waves of lightning, almost without any interval, poured down on Jiang Chen.

The lightning, starting as thick as a finger and extending to ten meters in width, spread out from the void, bathing Jiang Chen completely in its power.

next moment.

At this moment, Jiang Chen underwent a tremendous change. His skin, as white as jade, revealed the lines within, truly like jade, crystal clear, and containing formidable power.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Chen opened his mouth and exhaled a breath. A tiny bolt of lightning was seen shooting out from his mouth, and there was still lightning swirling inside his body.

The calamity clouds in the sky outside finally dissipated.

The nine waves of lightning struck Jiang Chen, becoming a helpful tool for tempering his physical body.

Jiang Chen used the Thunder Tempering Body Technique and the Nine Heavens Suppressing Clan Technique to forcefully absorb the descending tribulation lightning into his body.

"The last one!"

Jiang Chen gazed at the thunderclouds overhead, which still carried a terrifying aura, but his eyes were now filled with fervor, no longer showing the solemnity and trepidation he had felt before. In the end, bolt after bolt of lightning struck Jiang Chen, but it no longer posed any threat. In fact, for Jiang Chen now, it was an invaluable benefit.

"Thunder!" Jiang Chen uttered a single word, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his left hand. With a flick of his wrist, it lashed out like a whip into the void beside him, producing a thunderous sound.

Jiang Chen nodded heavily, and then his mind stirred. On his right hand, a small bolt of lightning flashed with white light, carrying a terrifying power. Jiang Chen struck out with one hand, and the lightning surging in his hand suddenly slammed into a boulder not far away. The boulder, which was hundreds of meters high, shattered instantly!
"hiss--"

Jiang Chen gasped, staring in disbelief at everything before him. A surge of ecstatic joy welled up within him. Although he knew that the power of this lightning was extraordinary, he never imagined it would possess such immense power. He was certain that even if this palm strike were to hit a Martial God Realm warrior, it would be enough to severely injure them!

"Is this the power of lightning in space?"

Martial artists, cultivators, and fighters are different.

At the Martial Emperor realm, one can sense the power of nature.

As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chen is a cultivator without any elemental attributes.

As the name suggests, it allows one to sense various natural forces.

Jiang Chen is now using the power of lightning, one of the natural forces.

"Finally a breakthrough."

"This power feels amazing..."

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

next moment.

Jiang Chen stood up.

Countless energies surrounded him.

call out!
Jiang Chen's heart moved.

The Tai'a sword appeared in his hand.

Jiang Chen's hands flew, forming a series of hand seals.

Jiang Chen gradually refined the Tai'a Sword.

The Tai'a Sword is a first-grade weapon.

Previously, due to insufficient strength, the Tai'a Sword was sealed, only able to unleash the power that its user could use. Now that Jiang Chen has broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he can naturally break the seal.

hum!
The Tai'a sword trembled.

A powerful aura erupted.

"Congeal!"

Jiang Chen made a series of hand seals with his hands.

The vibrating Tai'a sword returned to calm.

"disease!"

Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, and the Tai'a Sword transformed into a giant sword.

Jiang Chen flashed and leaped onto the Tai'a Sword.

next moment.

Jiang Chen transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Jiangzhou City.

……

Jiangzhou City, Imperial Palace.

"He's broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm?"

"Husband, what is the Myriad Manifestations Realm like?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Nie Xingchen and the others inquired about the situation in the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

“The Myriad Manifestations Realm is…” Jiang Chen explained his feelings.

"Thunder Tribulation?"

"Both Qi cultivation and body cultivation require undergoing tribulation."

Upon hearing about the tribulation lightning, Nie Xingchen and the others were all dumbfounded.

“Yes, I use tribulation lightning to cultivate the Thunder Tempering Body Technique,” ​​Jiang Chen said.

"Big brother, according to those cultivation novels, tempering the body with lightning tribulation is extremely dangerous," Jiang Meili asked.

"It's very dangerous. If you're not confident enough, you might die." Jiang Chen hadn't thought much about it when he was undergoing the tribulation, but he was afraid when he thought about it afterwards.

Jiang Chen admitted that he was not someone who was fearless and unstoppable on the path of cultivation.

He has his burdens, his shackles.

His burden, his shackles, are none other than his family, or rather, his women.

Even if it meant possessing them for a long time, he didn't want to die.

However, Jiang Chen also has his own ruthlessness.

In times of crisis, he will spare no effort to seek a chance of survival, rather than being timid and hesitant.

It can be said that Jiang Chen is a contradictory individual.

"So dangerous?" Nie Xingchen and the others were taken aback.

"It's very dangerous, but the rewards are also gratifying." The Myriad Manifestations Realm is equivalent to a Battle King or the early Nascent Soul stage. This strength will help the Jiang family's development in the Fourth World. As for the branch continents of the Central Continent, while the strength of the Myriad Manifestations Realm is not enough to be called the strongest in the world, it is enough to suppress everything.

more importantly.

As Jiang Chen's strength increases, those who cultivate the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with him will also see their cultivation levels rise rapidly.

With Jiang Chen's strength, his first time cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with someone else, he could raise an ordinary person's cultivation level to the Innate Realm. However, due to the significant difference in strength between men and women, the benefits Jiang Chen himself received after cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique were negligible.

But Jiang Chen didn't care about this at all. After all, if his woman's strength increased, then the Jiang family's strength increased as well.

Moreover, he would still benefit from the women's improved strength when they cultivated the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

That evening, Jiang Chen and Nie Xingchen and others practiced the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

I have to say, that felt really good.

The next day, Jiang Chen visited the Fengyun Continent, the Warring States Continent, and other sub-continents of the central continent.

Over the past two weeks, Xiao Hulian and others from the Fengyun Continent, and Xiao Yanyan and others from the Zhanguo Continent have collected quite a few orphaned girls, who are the ones Jiang Chen plans to train as maids for the Jiang family.

These orphaned girls ranged in age from thirteen to six or seven.

Although they are a bit young, it's no problem for the Jiang family. Besides, the Fengyun Continent and the Warring States Continent are chaotic times, and these orphaned girls simply couldn't survive on those continents. Now that they've become members of the Jiang family, it has changed their lives.

After bringing these three thousand men to Jiangzhou City using the Elementary Military Talisman, Jiang Chen used the Embroidered Uniform Guard Training Card in the West Garden.

The Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) trained by the Jinyiwei Training Card are only second- or third-rate martial artists.

Relatively speaking, this level of strength is too low.

However, what is the biggest use of these training cards for the Jiang family now?
It is loyalty.

Once they've undergone the training card, their loyalty won't be an issue.

For a family, loyalty is more important than anything else.

After settling the maids in, Jiang Chen returned to the Southern Continent.

For the safety of Haiyang City on the Dou Qi Continent, Jiang Chen felt that he should first obtain enough spirit stones on the Tiannan Continent.

After bidding farewell to Bai Kao'er and the others in Chenzhou City, Jiang Chen changed his appearance and headed to the Spirit Beast Mountain Market.
