There was no lack of ferocious beasts in the Thunder Lake. However, none of them dared to approach a certain place. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The grass within a radius of a few hundred feet was scorched.
There was an extremely crazy man who was attracting the power of lightning from the Heavens and Earth under the rumbling thunderclouds. His cries of agony were incessant and could even be heard louder than the sound of the thunder.
On a grassy slope in the distance, a graceful figure in purple calmly watched the shocking scene unfold before her. There was no expression on her extremely delicate face.
Thunder clouds loomed in front of them as tens of thousands of lightning bolts swam in the clouds. A violent aura that could shock all living beings in the Heavens and Earth was emitted from the thunderclouds.
The Thunder Lake was a strange place in the Teng Long Continent. Here, the power of thunder and lightning gathered. Dark thunder clouds hung down from the sky. Terrifying lightning struck from the thunder clouds, connecting the sky and the earth. Some of the lightning even struck the ground.
There was no wind or rain. There was only thunder here and it rarely rained. However, the water in the Thunder Lake was sufficient because it was a swamp.
It was difficult to see the sun in the Thunder Lake. However, terrifying lightning bolts would strike down from the sky and strike the ground. The powerful lightning bolts would often strike the soft grass and create huge pits, forming the unique landform of the Thunder Lake.
Large and small round ponds were scattered across the entire Thunder Lake like pearls embedded in a piece of jade.
Yan 'er and Gu Fei were only at the periphery of the Thunder Lake. They did not venture deep into the Thunder Lake because there were unpredictable dangers in the depths of the Thunder Lake.
The power of lightning there was stronger and the ferocious beasts there were stronger. Only cultivators with a high cultivation base could venture deep into the Thunder Lake. The reason why Gu Fei and Yan 'er came to the Thunder Lake was to borrow the power of lightning to expel the Xuan Yin Ghost Qi from Gu Fei's body. They were not here for an adventure.
One should know that the Thunder Lake was one of the most dangerous places in the Soaring Dragon Continent. The power of lightning in the depths of the Thunder Lake was enough to scare even a Void Controlling Realm expert.
The lightning energy outside the Thunder Lake was within the range that Gu Fei could withstand. Of course, if he had not been thrown into the Primordial Pill Cauldron by Yan'er and refined with hundreds of spirit medicines for three days and three nights, allowing his body to regain its vitality, his deteriorating body would definitely not have been able to withstand the power of thunder and lightning here.
"It's already the 98th time. Old Gu seems to be stronger than I imagined!" Yan 'er mumbled to herself on a grassy slope in the distance. She stared calmly at the scene before her without any expression on her face.
Gu Fei had already been struck one hundred and ninety-eight times by the power of lightning guided by the Kongming lantern, but his voice was still loud and clear, full of energy.
"Hey, hey! I want to see how long you can hold on before you crush the jade talisman in your hand." Yan 'er watched with interest.
In the distance, Gu Fei, who was tied to a huge rock, was charred on the outside and tender on the inside by the power of lightning. The clothes on his upper body had long been burnt to ashes, and only a piece of rag was left on his lower body, which barely covered his important parts.
Even the huge rock behind him had cracks on it, as though it could be smashed by the next bolt of lightning at any time.
It had to be said that Yan 'er was very thoughtful and well-prepared. The Kongming lantern, the hundred-foot long metal chain, and the huge rock that weighed thousands of kilograms were all for the sake of letting Gu Fei enjoy the baptism of lightning.
The Fixed Body Technique that Yan 'er had cast on him had already been broken when the first bolt of lightning struck him. There was no spell that could remain unbroken under the bombardment of the power of lightning.
As long as the power of lightning in the world was strong enough, it could break any spell. This was because the power of lightning represented the power of the world. The legendary God of Thunder wielded the power to punish on behalf of the heavens.
Of course, no one knew if the God of Thunder existed in the world.
However, what in the world could go against the heavens? Gu Fei did not know, but he knew very well that even a powerful immortal was just an ant in the face of the heavens.
Powerful bolts of lightning were constantly guided down by the Kongming lantern in the sky and mercilessly struck into his body. Countless bolts of lightning passed through his flesh and bones before entering the ground beneath Gu Fei's feet.
This was an inhumane torture. Even though Gu Fei's body had been tempered a hundred times, he still felt extreme pain, as though his skin was being fried and his bones were being torn apart.
Every time he was struck by lightning, it was as though there were countless sharp swords slicing his body. It made him feel a terrible pain, as though his flesh and bones were being separated and torn apart.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to withstand such terrible torture. However, Gu Fei's willpower was incomparably firm. He would not easily succumb to any power, even if it was the power of the world.
Every time a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, Gu Fei could not wait to crush the jade talisman in his hand. However, in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He gritted his teeth and endured the inhumane pain. Traces of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
The power of lightning in the world could repel all evils. It was the nemesis of the evil Yin Qi in his body.
Moreover, with the power of Heavenly Lightning, although it was dangerous, it was very likely that an incomparably powerful Heavenly Lightning would descend and strike Gu Fei into charcoal. However, in the midst of danger, there were also opportunities. For Gu Fei, using the power of lightning to temper his body was not entirely a bad thing.
The Mysterious Yin Ghost Qi that had invaded his bone marrow was gradually dispersed by the power of lightning that passed through his body. Gu Fei's miserable howls were earth-shattering. Endless vitality constantly healed his body that had been burned by the power of lightning.
All the muscles in his body involuntarily twitched violently, releasing waves of vitality to nourish his injured body. The strong physique of a martial artist allowed Gu Fei to recover very quickly after being struck by lightning.
Yan 'er watched from the grassy slope for a long time. She thought that Gu Fei would not be able to endure the pain of being struck by lightning for long. He would crush the jade talisman and start all over again.
However, she seemed to be wrong. Two hours passed. Four hours passed. Gu Fei's miserable howls were still coming from afar. His voice did not weaken at all. It was obvious that he could continue to endure it.
In the Thunder Lake, black thunderclouds covered the land. It seemed as though they would never dissipate. There was no sunlight or stars in this place. There was thunder, but there was no rain.
This was a strange place. It was a paradise for cultivators who cultivated lightning-based dao techniques. However, even so, not many cultivators dared to go deep into the Thunder Lake. They could only walk around the periphery of the Thunder Lake like Gu Fei and Yan 'er.
"Forget it, let's return to the Pill Cauldron Paradise first. I wonder when he will crush the jade talisman." The Lightning Lake was filled with a heavy pressure that came from the Heaven and Earth, making Yan 'er a little uncomfortable.
Yan 'er crushed the jade talisman in her hand. A ball of green light immediately spread out from her hand, enveloping her within. "Shua!" The void that was enveloped by the green light trembled, and ripples spread out like water waves.
The light dimmed and then disappeared completely. Yan 'er's figure had already disappeared along with the light. It was as though she had broken through the void.
It was difficult to teleport out of the Pill Cauldron Paradise. However, one only needed to crush a jade talisman to return to the Pill Cauldron Paradise.
Yan 'er was not worried that Gu Fei would be in danger. This was because even if he was in danger, Gu Fei would not be so foolish as to not crush the jade talisman. It could be said that the jade talisman was actually a talisman.
The jade talisman of the Pill Cauldron Sect was very special. It was more convenient than the Void Shifting Scrolls that were sealed with spatial dao techniques. The dao technique scroll had to be unfolded to release the sealed dao technique power.
As for the jade talisman of the Pill Cauldron Sect, one only needed to hold it in one's hand and crush it. The dao technique power would explode in an instant and teleport the person to the Pill Cauldron Paradise.
It had to be said that Gu Fei's willpower was perversely strong. It seemed like there was no pain that he could not endure. He did not know how many times he had been struck by the power of lightning from the Kongming Lantern.
Gu Fei felt as if he had become numb. The lightning energy washed over his body again and again, and the bone-chilling cold that would flare up several times a day gradually weakened.
Under the baptism of lightning, his physical body and nerves were tempered to become stronger and more resilient.
A day and a night passed. The place where Gu Fei was had become a huge, charred pit that was steaming. It was as if a meteorite had fallen there, producing an incomparably strong heat that burned everything.
The boulder had long been shattered. The area within a radius of several dozen zhang had become scorched earth. Only a metal chain that seemed to connect heaven and earth remained intact. Even after being struck by the power of lightning countless times, it seemed like it would not leave a single mark on this metal chain.
He did not know when it started, but Gu Fei felt that the cold in his body had stopped acting up. Therefore, he subconsciously began to accumulate the power of lightning.
Although the power of lightning between heaven and earth was an incomparably tyrannical and destructive power, it was also one of the powers of heaven and earth. It could also be refined.
Gu Fei began to circulate his Mysterious Art to refine the power of lightning. This was definitely an incomparably crazy action because the power of lightning was extremely hard to tame. If he was not careful, the powerful power of lightning could burn him into ashes.
However, Gu Fei did not care so much. His cultivation had already reached the bottleneck of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Ascended Realm. He wanted to borrow the power of lightning to break through his current bottleneck. He felt that this was an opportunity to break through his current bottleneck. He could not let it go.
As he circulated his Mysterious Art, bolts of lightning began to surround Gu Fei's body. These bolts of lightning did not dissipate. Instead, they were emitted from within his body.
Under the baptism of lightning, his tendons, bones, and flesh gradually transformed and became stronger. Gu Fei's physical body gradually improved under the destruction of the lightning.
Bolts of lightning continuously struck down from the thunderclouds above his head. The power of lightning was gradually guided by Gu Fei to every part of his body. Tiny snake-like currents flowed through his skin.
Gu Fei seemed to have turned into a spirit of lightning. His body emitted strong rays of light and thick arcs of lightning shot out from his orifices.
As time passed, Gu Fei's figure was gradually covered by the lightning that shot out from his body. Then, a huge ball of lightning with a radius of one zhang appeared in the huge pit, flickering with strong light.
"Shua!"
The teleportation array on the hill emitted a dazzling light. Strong waves of spiritual energy shook the void and ripples that could be seen by the naked eye spread out.
When the light dissipated, a purple figure appeared in the teleportation array. Yan 'er had come to the Thunder Lake from the Pill Cauldron Cave World. She walked out of the teleportation array and headed towards the direction of Gu Fei.
She waited in the Pill Cauldron Cave World for a day and night but did not see Gu Fei return. Feeling worried, she came to the Thunder Lake again.
The place where Gu Fei was struck by lightning was easy to find because the power of lightning gathered there. The power of heaven and earth was very strong and could be sensed from far away.
When Yan 'er came closer, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. The Kong Ming Lantern had already fallen into the swamp, and the lightning in the sky was still striking down from the thunderclouds. The sound of thunder and lightning was earth-shattering.
In a huge pit, a huge ball of lightning formed by lightning had burnt the soil within a radius of tens of feet.
The ground was scorched black. The lightning ball had a diameter of two to three feet and emitted a blinding light.
"What happened?" Yan 'er was shocked. She could feel that the ball of lightning was nurturing a strong force. A heart palpitating aura was emitted from the ball of lightning.
"This fella..." Yan 'er was speechless for a long time. After she calmed herself down, she could vaguely guess what had happened.
Gu Fei was actually using the power of lightning to cultivate. This made Yan 'er's jaw drop. Gu Fei's actions were undoubtedly audacious.
Yan 'er did not leave. She stood guard nearby and paid close attention to the changes in the ball of lightning. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. During this period of time, a few strong beasts were alarmed and rushed over from other areas of the Thunder Lake. However, they were all chased away by Yan 'er.
The power nurturing in the ball of lightning was gradually increasing. The mighty aura emitted from the ball of lightning made the nearby beasts very uneasy.
As for Gu Fei, he was sitting in the ball of lightning with his legs crossed, enduring inhuman pain. Endless power of lightning was flowing in his body. It was as if thousands of swords were constantly penetrating through his flesh and bones, tempering his body over and over again. It was as if they were trying to forge his body into a treasure.
Yan 'er didn't know when Gu Fei would stop cultivating. She sat with her legs crossed on a nearby grassy slope and quietly waited for Gu Fei. She knew that not only had the evil Qi in Gu Fei's body been completely expelled, his cultivation base would also increase greatly after being tempered by the heavenly lightning.
Beiling City, which stood in the north of Northern Wei and was close to the Abyss of Immortals and Demons, was definitely an ancient city. No one knew when Northern Mountain City was built. No one even knew how it appeared in the Northern Lands.
There were many unimaginable myths and legends here. Such an ancient city standing in the border between the Extreme Northern Demon Region and the Central Plains would definitely arouse people's imagination.
Although Beiling City wasn't as grand as the Dragon Emperor City in the Southern Wasteland, it was still a famous city in the Northern Region.
In the evening, two young cultivators in white clothes appeared outside the city gate of Beiling City. With a cultivator's keen sense, they could sense an ancient and vicissitude aura.
Beiling City was like an indomitable giant that stood in the snowy north, guarding the land of the North.
"Senior Brother, isn't it a bit rash for us to choose this place as our first stop for training?" A handsome young cultivator with the appearance of a peerlessly beautiful woman asked.
This young cultivator was like a beautiful woman dressed in men's clothing. His skin was so delicate that even women would be jealous of him. He was a young cultivator with the appearance of a girl.
The other cultivator standing beside the young cultivator had an ordinary appearance. He was thin and had tanned skin. He looked like a farmer in the countryside who went to work at sunrise and returned home at sunset.
When the two of them walked together, one was so handsome that even women would be jealous of him, while the other had an ordinary appearance. This combination was a bit strange.
"What's there to be rash about? I heard that Junior Brother Dongfang Chen also came to the Northern Lands?" The unassuming young cultivator said disapprovingly.
"Junior Brother Dongfang?" The handsome young cultivator couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.
At this moment, two young cultivators in white clothes walked out of the city gate. The two of them looked similar. They both had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. They were definitely rare handsome men.
However, the two of them had a masculine aura that was unique to men, while the young man with the unassuming young cultivator had a feminine aura.
"Speak of the devil and he will arrive!" The handsome young cultivator couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the two young cultivators coming out of the city.
"Hehe! Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zi Yu, please forgive me for being late to welcome you! " Two young cultivators came out of the city. One of them walked up to the two cultivators outside the city gate.
"Hey! Junior Brother Dongfang, your cultivation … "The dark-skinned young cultivator with an ordinary appearance looked at the young cultivator who came to greet him. His eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Little brother is stupid. It's been more than a year since I returned to the Dongfang family, but I still haven't broken through my current bottleneck. Sigh!" Dongfang Chen's expression was a bit depressed and lost.
The two cultivators in white outside the city gate were Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, who were walking down the mountain. The two young men in white who came out of the city were the two brothers, Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Long.
However, there was no sign of Beitang Ao.
Dongfang Chen had found an excuse to return to the Dongfang family more than a year ago. He did this to see if he could break through his current cultivation bottleneck with the help of the family. Secondly, he was preparing to deal with Gu Fei.
In the Supreme Mystery Sect, there was the existence of Wang Yuanzhi and other spies. What happened in the sect, Dongfang Chen knew like the palm of his hand.
When he learned that the sect had sent Minister Dan with the primordial spirit lamp down the mountain to look for Gu Fei, it was difficult for Dongfang Chen to stay in the Dongfang family to cultivate.
"Junior Brother Dongfang, you're really well-informed. There don't seem to be many people who know that Senior Brother Li and I have come to the north!" Zi Yu looked at Dongfang Chen meaningfully and said indifferently.
