Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 852: The ultimate in body training, the ultimate thunder sword!
This is a real top-level elixir, fifth-grade lower level.
He still remembered the scene when he saw the 'Xuan Lei Yun Zhi' the last time he came in.

It's a pity that these natural spiritual creatures are usually guarded by exotic beasts.
Next to this Ganoderma lucidum, there is a fourth-grade upper-grade Thunder Dragon. If it weren't for the creatures in the Thunder Prison, they wouldn't be able to have spiritual intelligence.

In addition, this dragon is not good at escaping, and he might have died here last time.

"Now that I have entered the late Nascent Soul stage, dealing with this dragon should be a piece of cake!" Zhou Xun thought.
Today, he is no longer the same person he was before, not to mention he has the Purple Jade Lightning Spear in his hand. He really can't think of any reason for him to fail.

Putting away the map, Zhou Xun looked towards the northeast with burning eyes.

In that direction there is a mountain shaped like a reclining Buddha, which is Luojia Mountain marked on the map.
Zhou Xun was thinking in his mind, and there was a flash of lightning under his feet. The whole person turned into a stream of purple light and flew close to the ground.

Zhou Xun had just flown a thousand miles when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

The thunder pool in Dantian trembled violently without any warning, as if warning of something. He suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

The purple lightning that was originally moving in an orderly manner suddenly became violent and disorderly, and layers of thunderclouds accumulated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the distance, there was a continuous rumble of thunder, like thousands of war drums beating at the same time. The concentration of free lightning spirit energy in the air rose sharply, and the numbness on the surface of the skin turned into a piercing pain.

"Not good!" Zhou Xun's pupils shrank suddenly, "The thunderstorm tide broke out prematurely!"

This was a full thirty days earlier than he expected.

Zhou Xun immediately made a hand gesture, and 72 lightning seeds formed a defensive formation around his body.

at the same time,

With a "whoosh" sound, the Thunder Wings instantly spread out, with a wingspan of more than ten feet.
As Zhou Xun's mind moved, he flapped his thunder wings and turned into a stream of purple light, speeding back the way he came.

There he set up a fourth-grade top-grade magic array - the Five Heavens Purple Thunder Array. With the help of the Thunder Lava Lake, he might be able to resist a few attacks.

After all, the Thunder Lava Lake contains the ultimate power of thunder, and perhaps it can absorb and assimilate the violent thunder and lightning that attack from the outside world.

Behind him, the sky and the earth were already purple and white, and lightning as thick as buckets poured down like a rainstorm, causing rocks to collapse and the earth to be scorched wherever it passed.

A bolt of lightning brushed past Zhou Xun's protective aura, causing his blood to boil.

"This power!" Zhou Xun was secretly shocked.

The last time I witnessed the fall of Master Hongchuan, the power of the thunderstorm tide was less than one-third of what it is now.

"No, not fast enough!"

He frantically urged his magic power to communicate with the Thunder Pool with his mind. A pure force of thunder poured out and poured into the Thunder Wings!

The Thunder Wings instantly shone brightly, as bright as white, and at the same time their flight speed increased several times.

At his current speed,

A thousand miles away in a flash,
Finally, when the seventh lightning bolt almost struck his back, Zhou Xun dived into the lake.

Then he quickly came to the island in the middle of the lake and entered the magic circle without hesitation!
But at this moment, the palpitation had not yet disappeared.

"not good!"

"It can't be stopped here!"

He went into the Thunder Lava Lake without hesitation, swimming madly towards the depths, not even caring about the magic array and thunder sword left outside.
However, fortunately,
As he went deeper, the palpitations began to subside, which showed that his strategy was correct.

"Keep going deeper!"

But at the same time, as he continued to go deeper, the pressure from the thunder lava became stronger and stronger, which was also the reason why he did not explore further the last time he came here.

Zhou Xun sacrificed his life-saving magic weapon, the Thunder Pool, without hesitation.

A square-shaped thunder pool was suspended above his head, constantly absorbing the lightning power that was invading from all directions. The pressure on him was instantly relieved.
With this, he went several hundred feet deeper.
But the thunder pool was only of high quality after all, and it was soon filled up, even a little overloaded. If it continued like this, the thunder pool would probably shatter.

Zhou Xun had no choice but to take it into his body.

But without the protection of the thunder pool, the oppressive feeling of the thunder lava surged like a tide, and Zhou Xun felt like a sword embryo thrown into a forge.

Every inch of his skin was wailing under the heavy burden, and the protective aura had long been shattered. Now it was all up to Lei Chi to hold on.

"No, we have to go further." Zhou Xun clenched his teeth, blood oozing from all his orifices.

The thunder pool in Dantian was running wildly, transforming the violent thunder power that invaded the body into pure spiritual power.

But the transformation speed is far behind the erosion speed.

"not enough!"

Zhou Xun's eyes were bloodshot, and spider-web-like bloodstains had appeared on the surface of his skin. He frantically activated the "Purple Sky Thunder Art", but the conversion speed still could not keep up with the erosion of the thunder plasma.

"Oh right, the Thunder Dao Body Tempering Method!"

Just when he was about to give up, Zhou Xunru grabbed a life-saving straw.

He suddenly activated his skills and no longer resisted the invasion of the lightning lava. Instead, he actively released the acupoints all over his body.

"boom--"

The violent lightning energy surged into his body like a flood that broke through a dam, severing his meridians wherever it passed. Zhou Xun let out a scream that was not like a human voice, and blood gushed out of his seven orifices at the same time.

In severe pain, he bit the tip of his tongue to stay awake and guided the thunder force according to the secret method.

A strange scene occurred: the broken meridians were reorganized in the lightning, becoming crystal clear, like a jade carving with lightning patterns.

The newly formed meridians were several times wider than the original ones, and the spiritual energy flowing through them was also stained with purple lightning.

Zhou Xun fell into a strange state.

at the same time,

"Rumble--"

The strong thunderstorm from the outside world finally reached the top of the Thunder Lava Lake, and the devastating lightning poured down.

Instantly breaking Zhou Xun's 'Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation', powerful lightning poured into the 'Mysterious Thunder Sword' suspended above the Thunder Pool.
At the same time, more lightning struck the Thunder Lava Lake.

Zhou Xun didn't feel much, as the lightning was eventually assimilated by the large amount of lightning magma.
Instead, become a part of it.

Zhou Xun fell into a magical state at this time. He felt as if he was in a comfortable place.

I felt an itchy sensation all over my body, and at the same time, I seemed to have lost the concept of time.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xun was awakened by a sharp pain.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the thunder pool in his dantian was shaking wildly, and the purple thunder patterns on the surface were twisting and entwining like a living thing, as if it was undergoing some kind of transformation.

And his own skin actually had a luster like glass, and there were lightning patterns engraved on the surface!

Every inch of the skin was emitting tiny lightning bolts. The originally broken meridians were not only completely restored, but also formed into veins like a lightning net.

When practicing the technique, spiritual energy could actually jump and transmit between these veins at a speed several times faster than before.

"This is the Lightning Body Tempering Technique, the transformation of the lightning body after reaching its peak?" Zhou Xun was surprised and happy. He had never thought that in the desperate situation of the thunderstorm tide, he could accidentally trigger the ultimate secret of the Thunder Body Tempering Technique.

This means that his Lightning Body Tempering Technique has reached the peak of the twelfth level.

Converted into cultivation, it is equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul, but it is the body training. This means that he can now compete with the peak of the fourth level monster with his physique alone, or even surpass it.
After all, what he had practiced was the most advanced variation of the Lightning Body Tempering Technique, so his physique was naturally even stronger.

He stretched out his hand and punched, and there was a burst of explosion in the air.

"It's worthy of being the Nascent Soul Peak Body Refining Technique. It's really powerful!"

Then he took out a long sword magic weapon, which was the trophy after he killed a unlucky guy. It was of the highest quality.

Slowly inject mana,

With a "hum" sound, the long sword floated up.

Zhou Xun grabbed it and then chopped at his left arm.
With a sound of "ding",
There was a crisp metallic collision sound, and then Zhou Xun looked at his left arm, and there was not even a trace of white mark.

"I can actually resist the attack of a top-grade magic weapon with my physical body. Doesn't that mean that my physical strength can be compared with the best defensive magic weapon?"

“It’s really a blessing in disguise!”

Zhou Xun was overjoyed. With this achievement, even if the other two goals of this trip to the Thunder Prison were not achieved,
He didn't lose out either.

At this time, he had time to look around. He was actually in a strange cave.
There seemed to be a strange membrane at the entrance of the cave, blocking the thunder lake from the outside. What was even stranger was that
A stream of lightning liquid as thick as a little finger flowed in the air, passed through the diaphragm, and connected to a spring nearby.
There is thunder liquid constantly spitting out from it.
"The Thunder Lava Lake was actually formed in this way!"

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a faint blue light flickering deep in the cave.

"what?"

Zhou Xun carefully released his spiritual sense, but found that the blue light had the effect of blocking his spiritual sense.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xun decided to find out what was going on.

Holding the purple jade lightning spear, he walked slowly towards the depths. As he went deeper, fine lightning patterns gradually appeared on the cave walls, becoming denser and denser as he went deeper.

After walking about a hundred feet, the view suddenly opened up. A cave with a radius of more than thirty feet appeared in front of me. The walls were engraved with ancient lightning patterns.
There is a door on the stone wall in the north.
There was a plaque hanging above the door, and Zhou Xun could vaguely recognize the words "Lei" and "Xiao".

There are seven grooves carved in the middle of the portal.

Looking at the patterns on it, Zhou Xun felt that they seemed familiar.

"Oh right, the jade talisman!"

With a wave of his hand, four rays of light flew out and transformed into four strange jade talismans that appeared in the palm of his hand.

Zhou Xun took out the "Yuan" card, found the corresponding place and put it on.
Then, a glimmer of light flashed by.
A voice came out, like the sound of the avenue
"Take my jade slip and gather the seven thunder keys to open it." The voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more distant.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun had a guess in his mind.
"Could it be that the core secret place of Lei Xiao Sect corresponding to the seven jade talismans is here?" Thinking of this, Zhou Xun was delighted.

Judging from the information about the Lei Xiao Sect he had come into contact with over the years,
The reason why this sect can produce a deity every ten thousand years seems to be related to this secret place.

Zhou Xun stared at the remaining six grooves with burning eyes, and embedded the other three jade talismans into the corresponding patterns one by one.

As the last jade talisman was inserted into the groove, the entire stone wall shook violently.

The ancient lightning patterns awakened like fireflies, winding and wandering on the walls of the cave, and finally converging into a rotating vortex of lightning.

In the center of the vortex, translucent words slowly emerged, and the runes flowing on the surface were exactly the same as the patterns on the thunder pool in his dantian.

"It is indeed related to the Lei Xiao Sect's inheritance!"

But at this moment, these strange phenomena seemed to have encountered some obstacles, and they came to an abrupt stop and eventually fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sighed,

"It seems that only by collecting the seven jade talismans can we truly open this portal!"

As for a strong attack, he had no intention of doing so.
After all, as the core secret place of the first ancient sect, Lei Xiao Sect, its level of defense was beyond the reach of a Nascent Soul cultivator like him.

Even if a god came here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to open it.

There might even be some countermeasures, and he might fail.
It would be a joke if the famous Master Wangchuan died here.

Shaking his head, Zhou Xun took back the four jade talismans, then stood up and left the cave, diving into the thunder lava lake.

This physical breakthrough took a lot of time, so he had to hurry to Luojia Mountain to take the elixir.

Perhaps due to his breakthrough in physical training, he was now able to completely withstand the pressure of the Thunder Lava Lake.

After a few breaths, Zhou Xun appeared on the island in the middle of the lake again.
Looking around, I saw a mess.
"Click——"

Zhou Xun's boots stepped on a black stick, making a crisp cracking sound.

Zhou Xun picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Isn't this the flag of my 'Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation'? It has been damaged to this extent!"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
His magic array is the most powerful among the fourth-level top-grade magic arrays. It is a pity that it is destroyed now.

Then he searched everywhere.

Altogether, more than 340 battle flags were found, one third of which were damaged and completely unusable. The rest could be repaired and put back into use.

"Fortunately, it's not completely damaged. If we can find the materials, we can repair it!"

Zhou Xun felt a little comforted.
"By the way, where is my Xuan Ting Thunder Sword?"

Zhou Xun looked around but still couldn't find any trace of it.

"As long as the magic circle is preserved, this sword won't be damaged!"

Then Zhou Xun made a gesture with both hands and pointed at himself.
Then he began to search carefully for the connection between him and the Thunder Sword.
"Om-"

As the magic formula was activated, a purple lightning pattern suddenly appeared between Zhou Xun's eyebrows.

This was the mark of his life left behind when he was refining the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword, and it was emitting a faint resonance at this moment.

"At the bottom of the lake!" Zhou Xun's eyes fixed, and his figure shot into the lake of thunder and lightning like lightning. After breaking through the twelfth level of the thunder body, the thunder and lightning that once made it difficult for him to move were now as harmless as warm water.

After diving a hundred feet, a purple light came into view.

The Xuan Ting Thunder Sword was suspended in the depths of the thunder plasma, the sword body was entangled by nine phantoms of thunder dragons, constantly absorbing and spitting out the surrounding thunder energy.

What was even more astonishing was that a small vortex formed at the tip of the sword, drawing in all the lightning magma within a radius of ten feet.

Judging from the momentum coming from above, it's really heart-pounding!
"Top-grade magic weapon!" Zhou Xun's heart was pounding.

After being baptized by the thunderstorm tide, the Thunder Sword actually shortened the slow tempering process.

Moreover, its power seems to be even greater than that of ordinary top-grade magic weapons, and it is only a little bit away from becoming a semi-spiritual treasure.

"Haha, it really is a blessing in disguise!"

He stretched out his hand and the Thunder Sword immediately emitted a cheerful humming sound, and turned into a stream of light that sank into his Dantian.

Then it soared into the sky and flew towards Luojia Mountain!
