Chapter 1367 Refining the Power of Lightning
"The Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree?"
Looking at the three-foot-tall purplish-gold sapling, Xu Changshou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He had heard of the Purple Gold Thunder Spirit Tree before; like the Thunder Spirit Grass, it was a plant with the attribute of lightning.
The difference is that Thunder Spirit Grass is nurtured in thunder.
The Purple Gold Thunder Spirit Tree can attract and nurture lightning.
Wherever there is a Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree, there is a Thunder Domain.
The Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree is a spirit; one must not possess any spiritual energy when approaching it, otherwise, one will be attacked by it.
Therefore, if you want to move or plant the Purple Gold Thunder Spirit Tree, you must prevent its spiritual energy from leaking out.
The old man approached the Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree by flying through the air, and thus was attacked by the Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou glanced at Huangfu Lie and the others, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Huangfu, let's be careful and try not to use spiritual energy."
"Ok!"
"go!"
The four exchanged glances, and then slowly walked up the hundred-zhang-high mountain peak.
Seeing that they were about to climb the mountain, the people from the Central Plains Heavenly Sect and the Western Extremity Dynasty were not to be outdone and quickly followed.
Stab it!
The moment Huangfu Lie stepped onto the hillside, a purple arc of lightning struck him hard.
"Ouch!"
Huangfu Lie shivered, completely unprepared for the sudden attack of lightning.
"Senior Brother Huangfu, how are you? Are you alright?" Xi Jingtai asked worriedly.
Huangfu Lie took a deep breath and then said, "The lightning here is strong, but we can still withstand it."
"Ok!"
"Let's keep going!"
Ouyang Chun and Xi Jingtai each took a step upwards, following Huangfu Lie's pace.
Stab it!
Two more purple arcs of lightning suddenly appeared, striking Ouyang Chun and Xi Jingtai respectively.
Ouyang Chun and Xi Jingtai were beaten until they were grimacing.
"go!"
Xu Changshou also took a step and came to the hillside.
Stab it!
The purple lightning arc did not spare him either. A bolt of lightning entered his body, and Xu Changshou felt a tingling sensation, but was otherwise unharmed.
He frequently tempered his body with lightning and also cultivated the body tempering technique taught by the Thunder Ancestor, making his physique far superior to that of other cultivators of the same level.
"what?"
Suddenly, Xu Changshou's eyes lit up. He realized that the lightning here was different from ordinary lightning; it seemed to have more vitality.
Xu Changshou has always used lightning to temper his body. The reason for using lightning is very simple: lightning contains both destruction and life.
Destruction can better temper the physical body, while the vitality within lightning can better repair the injured body.
The lightning here is more vibrant, which means that the lightning here is more suitable for body tempering.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou hurriedly activated the Body Tempering Technique to quietly refine the trace of lightning within his body.
After refining that arc of lightning, Xu Changshou discovered that, just as he had thought, the lightning here was indeed more vibrant than ordinary lightning.
"go!"
"quick!"
"Don't let them gain the upper hand!"
When they saw Huangfu Lie begin to climb the mountain, the people from the Central Plains Heavenly Sect and the Western Extremity Dynasty became uneasy and quickly ran over to climb the mountain.
The old guys were very fast, instantly overtaking Xu Changshou and the others. Of course, they were also subjected to the baptism of lightning.
After climbing the mountain, every three to five steps, purple lightning arcs would strike them.
"Let's hurry!"
Huangfu Lie and the others followed a few steps closer, and then, purple lightning arcs kept striking them.
Huangfu Lie and the others were numbed by the electric shocks, but they gritted their teeth and climbed upwards.
Xu Changshou followed behind them, walking at a leisurely pace, refining the lightning that had entered his body as he went.
Soon, Xu Changshou was surprised to find that his physical body was slowly becoming stronger.
That's right, my physical body has indeed become stronger, but it's a very subtle feeling, almost imperceptible.
Xu Changshou was pleasantly surprised. His physical body had been getting stronger all along, far surpassing that of other cultivators at the same level. He didn't know exactly how strong it was.
However, since he cultivated to the late stage of Mahayana, his physical progress has stagnated. In the last few thousand years, his physical body has not made any progress at all.
Xu Changshou guessed that his physical body might have reached a bottleneck, just like his cultivation level, stuck at a certain realm and unable to break through.
Unexpectedly, this time, the physical body showed signs of improvement once again.
Xu Changshou understood that his physical body was able to improve this time because the lightning here was different from that elsewhere, and it was more vibrant.
Next.
Xu Changshou refined the lightning as he walked.
On average, every three steps he took, a purple arc of lightning would strike him. After the lightning entered his body, Xu Changshou would immediately refine it.
He didn't walk fast; he would pause every three steps to fully refine the power of lightning before continuing.
The others, however, moved much faster. They didn't refine the power of lightning at all; instead, they used their physical bodies to withstand it.
"Junior Brother Changshou, hurry up!"
"Senior Brother Huangfu, wait for Junior Brother Changshou."
Seeing that Xu Changshou was walking slowly, Huangfu Lie and the others subconsciously slowed down their pace.
In no time, they had fallen three or four zhang behind Zhongli Dao and the others.
Ahead, an elderly woman with silver hair was walking the fastest and had already climbed to a height of more than ten zhang.
Leaving everyone else behind, despite her hunched figure, the old woman was the fastest climber.
"Senior Brother Huangfu, look, that person is so fast!"
"Yeah, how could she be so fast? Isn't she afraid of lightning?"
"is her!"
Xu Changshou glanced at her; she was a female cultivator from the Central Plains Heavenly Sect, her name seemed to be Su Xiang.
Huangfu Lie glanced at Su Xiang and frowned, saying, "Luo Xiushan has a lightning-attribute spiritual root, and his physical body is more resistant to lightning than ours, so he is the fastest to leave."
"Senior Brother Huangfu, we need to speed things up, or the Purple-Gold Thunder Spirit Tree will be theirs!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Huangfu, let's go quickly."
"Alright, Junior Brother Changshou, we need to speed things up. You can walk slowly on your own."
Huangfu Lie and his two companions began to accelerate.
Seeing them speed up, Xu Changshou was not in a hurry. He knew that the lightning here was not simple, and it would be extremely difficult to reach the top.
Stab it!
Sure enough, things changed after we reached a height of ten zhang. There were even more purple lightning arcs, and on average, one would strike us every two steps.
Xu Changshou glanced at Su Xiang, who was walking at the front, and she indeed slowed down a bit.
Soon, Zhongli Dao and the others reached a height of ten zhang, and the others followed one after another, including Huangfu Lie and the others.
Xu Changshou continued walking at a leisurely pace, refining the lightning power that had entered his body as he went. He wasn't in a hurry because he knew this was a great opportunity for him, and he had to seize it.
Of course, Xu Changshou did not use spiritual energy or magic to refine the power of lightning, but rather used the power of his own body to refine it and absorb the lightning with his physical body.
Only after the power of lightning has been completely refined can we continue to ascend.
"Senior Brother Huangfu, look how slow Junior Brother Changshou is!"
"What is Junior Brother Changshou up to?"
"Yes, isn't he a lightning-attribute spiritual root? He should be faster, so why is he so much slower?"
