Inside the bamboo forest, Ling Xian was bathed in lightning. Like the God of Thunder, he was inviolable.
As he fought against the lightning, he manipulated the Indestructible Physique. He planned on leveling up this technique to the initial realm.
When that happens, his physique will increase by a lot. Though he will still be a step away from the peak of the original level, he will be much stronger than before.
If he didn't have the lightning to refine his body, it would take him at least three to five years to cultivate the Indestructible Body of Vajra to the Initial Success Realm.
But now, under the elder's technique, his cultivation speed increased by five to six times. Every second, he could feel his physique strengthening.
Though the increase was very, very small, many a little makes a mickle. As long as he perseveres, he will be able to improve by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, Ling Xian calmed himself down and used his physical body to fight against the lightning in order to train the Indestructible Physique.
Time passed by little by little.
The gold light emitting from his body was getting brighter and brighter. Like an undying Sun, he lit up all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
On the other hand, the elder was getting weaker and weaker and more exhausted.
What could he do? If he used the Heaven's Thunderbolts like usual, then he would be fine. At most, he would need to rest and recover his Qi. But he had once schemed against Ling Xian and increased the power of the Heaven's Thunderbolts by a lot.
The result was that he went for wool and came home shorn. He was forced to maximize the power of the Heaven's Thunderbolts every time.
In other words, he had to use up his source of Qi every time.
Because of this, the elder was getting weaker and weaker. He looked like he had one foot in the grave and was dying.
Luckily, every time he felt like he was about to collapse, Ling Xian would toss him a few spiritual Dans so that he could rest a little. Or else he wouldn't have lasted much longer.
Just like that, one of them trained in peace and the other was forced to help the former. If he let his guard down for even a second, he would receive a heavy punch.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this period of time, everything was peaceful. The Court of Thunder didn't come and the Wang Clan didn't cause any trouble.
This confused Ling Xian. But it was good. At least he could train in peace and increase his capabilities.
However, the elder was getting more and more hopeless.
The only thing that kept him going was to wait for the Court of Thunder to save him. Yet the Court of Thunder made no move. Why wouldn't he feel hopeless?
But no matter how desperate he was, there was nothing he could do. He could only serve Ling Xian obediently and continued to unleash the Heaven's Thunderbolts.
But slowly, his thunders were no longer effective against Ling Xian. It was probably because he had been here for too long that he had developed a resistance. Of course, part of the reason was that the old man's thunder technique was too weak and could no longer provide him with any help.
Therefore, after realizing that his physique could no longer strengthen, Ling Xian opened his eyes.
Shua!
Two beams of golden divine light shot out from his eyes. They were like celestial swords that could split the heavens, displaying their exceptional sharpness.
"Phew … I can't continue to strengthen it."
Ling Xian slowly breathed out a mouthful of murky air. Then, he clenched his fists and felt his powerful physique.
After a month of hard work, his physical body had undoubtedly become much stronger. Although he was still a distance away from the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, he was definitely much stronger than before.
This could be seen from the light emitted from his body. When he first began to cultivate the Indestructible Physique, there was only a faint layer of gold light around his body and it couldn't cover his entire body.
But now, the gold light he was emitting was extremely bright and had covered most of his body. Only his calves were not covered by the gold light.
This meant he was only one step away from the initial realm of the Indestructible Physique.
"Just one step away. What a pity." Ling Xian softly shook his head and shifted his gaze towards the elder.
Instantly, the old man shuddered and unconsciously took a step back.
He now knew that his thunder technique was useless against Ling Xian. In other words, he had lost his value. Because of this, he was about to lose his life.
"It seems like you are well aware of your fate." Ling Xian glared at him.
"I lost the bet. I originally thought I could hold on until the Supreme Ruler came to save me. I didn't think I would be the first to lose my value. "
The elder bitterly smiled. He was already weak and now, he was getting weaker. It was as if he could collapse at any moment.
"Right, the Court of Thunder has a ruler."
Ling Xian's eyes brightened, "If I remember correctly, the ruler you speak of is a powerhouse at the peak of the original level. I believe his thunder technique is much stronger than mine."
"Of course."
The elder subconsciously nodded and realized what Ling Xian was trying to do. He couldn't help but to silently curse at this insane person.
He knew that Ling Xian wasn't satisfied with his thunder technique and wanted to find someone stronger to help him with his training.
"Very good. It seems like I have to find him." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a smile of anticipation.
He was only one step away from the initial realm. Yet right now, the elder's thunder technique was useless. Therefore, he was naturally interested in the ruler at the peak of the original level.
Hearing what Ling Xian had said, the elder felt speechless. At the same time, he felt hopeful that Ling Xian would be able to find the Court of Thunder.
In this way, his chances of survival were much higher.
Therefore, he fanned the flames, "The Court of Thunder has a holy place that is filled with all types of lightning. If you cultivate there, it will be much better than being struck by lightning."
"Oh?"
Ling Xian's interest was piqued. He knew that there were many strange places in the Taoism community. If that place was as the elder described, then it would be of great help to him.
"That's not all. If you are lucky, you can even get some liquid from there. It can greatly increase your physique."
Seeing that Ling Xian was interested, the elder continued to fan the flames, "I am absolutely telling the truth. If I am lying, I am willing to be struck by lightning and be destroyed by the heavens."
"Liquid of lightning …"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. He's heard of this before. It was one of the natural treasures. However, it was far too rare and very few people could get their hands on it.
The effect of this item was to increase one's physique. It was an extremely rare treasure.
Therefore, Ling Xian was tempted.
However, he didn't plan on making the first move. Though he was confident that he could fight against a powerhouse at the peak of the original level.
But to run into someone else's base camp was far too stupid. Plus, the elder's words cannot be completely trusted. What if there was more than one original leveled powerhouse at the Court of Thunder? Then wouldn't he be in danger?
"It seems like you really want me to make the first move, right?"
Ling Xian's gaze was teasing, which made the elder, who was about to fan the flames, pause. The elder quickly revealed a flattering smile, "Why would I? I am already your prisoner. Why would I dare to have any ill intentions?"
"That's for the best."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Don't worry. Since you have been helping me train for the past month, I will not kill you."
"Are you serious?" The elder's eyes exploded with light.
"I never lie. However, I will not let an enemy live."
Ling Xian teased, "So I am giving you a choice. Either you die, or you obey me."
