Chapter 6: Invoking Thunder into the Body
As the thunder gradually subsided, the two brothers also noticed that the withering speed of the spiritual herbs had significantly accelerated, leading them to the conclusion that the wilting of the spiritual herbs was indeed related to Qin Lie.
Upon discovering a sudden change in the weather, with thunder and lightning beginning to strike, the two brothers hurriedly made their way to Yaoshan. Shortly after Qin Lie entered the mountain's depths to cultivate, they both arrived at Yaoshan.
Howl
This is the reason that Qinshan will emphasize, the Beast Core of the Shadow Electric Carving can help Qin Lie rapidly accumulate a surge of spiritual power
His mind sank deep within his body, and he seemed to see faint currents of electricity still lingering in his chest cavity. These currents stubbornly moved through his organs and flesh, continuously tempering his internal organs, allowing them to gradually adapt to the impending onslaught of thunder and lightning
Brothers Ling Chengye and Ling Chengzhi, after the storm has subsided, stand in the pouring rain with umbrellas, watching the withering spiritual herbs, feeling an overwhelming sorrow without tears to shed
The heavy rain poured down, and the thunderous power on Yaoshan became increasingly fierce, with bolts of lightning diving down like giant dragons, violently crashing into the cave.
Shadow Electric Carving
After carefully considering, Qin Lie decided to keep the letter, map, and wooden carving close at hand. He believed that since the surroundings had already awakened, the days of thunder and lightning would not last forever. It would be worthwhile to venture into the Extreme Cold Mountain Range to try his luck, to see if he could hunt some Shadow Electric Eagles and accumulate some spiritual power, thereby determining his true realm.
The fine lightning finally coursed through the veins of his limbs, penetrating into his internal organs. Qin Lie's body instantly convulsed, curling up like a shrimp struck by electricity, letting out a series of hoarse and tragic cries
Soon, he delved deep into the heart of the mountain, and the originally dim stone path suddenly brightened.
On this journey, Ling Chengye attentively sensed the dense flashes of lightning across the horizon and the direction of the thunderbolts, confirming the secret connection between the vast lightning in the sky and the depths of the mountains, thus finally validating his brother's conjecture
Uncertain how much time had passed, the charred body of Qin Lie slowly regained consciousness. He lay motionless on a silver-threaded spider web, silently assessing the condition within his body
... ... ''
Boom! Hiss!
Eight stone pillars are wrapped with silver metal wires, each as thick as a finger, and these silver wires are connected to other stone pillars
In a state of cultivation devoid of distractions and thoughts, the torment one must endure is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary individuals. Fortunately, I have been practicing in this manner for five years; both my body and soul have long since adapted. Otherwise, even if my body could endure, my soul would not withstand such piercing pain and would collapse, resulting in a true loss of sanity.
The Shadow Electric Carving only has one tier, is fond of living in groups, has low physical defense, and excels in attack. They often appear in swarms, moving swiftly. When attacking, they first shoot out lightning, and after the lightning strikes and paralyzes the enemy, they will then close in to tear apart their prey with sharp claws and fangs
The roar, initially high-pitched and intense, gradually became low and feeble, eventually fading away, and his body, which was charged with energy, also ceased its writhing
In the torrential rain, Qin Lie left the medicinal stone cave and ventured deeper into the frigid mountain range alone
Inside the wooden box, there is a letter, a beautifully illustrated map, and a lifelike wooden statue, which strikingly resembles his grandfather
Enduring excruciating pain that ordinary people cannot bear, Qin Lie gritted his teeth and activated the Heavenly Thunder Execution Method. As strands of fine lightning entered his body, which had been wildly darting about in chaos, they suddenly seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, swiftly flowing through his resilient veins and merging into his flesh and bones.
Spirit beasts are classified into different ranks based on their strength, with the first rank being the weakest, equivalent to the power of a martial artist at the Body Refinement stage. The tenth rank is the strongest, and it is said that tenth rank spirit beasts are extraordinarily terrifying, comparable to the ultimate martial artists at the Domain Initiation stage.
Hiss hiss hiss
In the spacious stone cave, Qin Lie, with a somewhat youthful face, was filled with excitement and enthusiasm as he charged into the dense electric net formed by eight stone pillars.
For Ling Chengye, the intricate and labyrinthine stone paths, filled with mystery and danger, were overwhelming. During yesterday's exploration, he not only failed to penetrate deep into the heart of the mountain but also left himself feeling dizzy, nearly injuring his spirit.
Over the years, my grandfather has frequently traversed the Extreme Cold Mountains and has developed some rapport with certain spirit beasts. If one day you need to venture into or cross the Extreme Cold Mountains, remember to bring that statue. Some spirit beasts recognize that statue, and once you present it, those spirit beasts that recognize it will not trouble you.
The map at the top is only thirty miles away from Yaoshan, and several prominent locations are marked with circles on the map, one of which features a shadowy electric sculpture
Two years ago, before my grandfather passed away, he once said, "When I wake up next time, I will see the things he left for me"
Ling Chengye, with a stern expression, suppressed the resentment and anger within him as he arrived at the entrance of a mine in Yaoshan. He sat silently, waiting for Qin Lie to emerge.
The refinement of the internal organs is all that remains. At this pace, within two to three months at most, the most challenging foundation of the initial stage of the Heavenly Thunder will be firmly established.
Over the past five years, through the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder, he has gradually tempered his meridians, flesh, limbs, and bones, slowly shifting his cultivation focus towards the more vital organs.
Eight stone pillars suddenly shone brilliantly, with the current in the silver wires becoming increasingly terrifying. In the massive web of intertwined silver lines, Qin Lie was charred all over, trembling and roaring wildly
The current interwoven in the silver threads surged towards his seemingly frail body, like the splatter of cold light, like the sharpness of a blade!
Intense lightning struck down in a flurry, as if drawn by some mysterious force, piercing the protruding rocks at the mountain's peak, flashing and vanishing in an instant
Regardless of whether Qin and * Tu * Shulie are genuinely foolish or merely pretending to be so, this time, I must have a serious conversation with him
The Soul-guarding Pearl is a treasured artifact, the only spiritual tool left to you by your parents. It is not merely a means to seal your memories; it contains many profound mysteries that even I cannot unravel. You must take great care to safeguard that pearl, and under no circumstances should you allow a second person to see it, lest it brings about tremendous trouble! Remember this well!
Elder brother, we are currently in the transitional period between spring and summer, when thunderstorms are frequent. If this situation continues, it is likely that this time we will reap nothing from the spiritual herbs and medicines. As for the Xingyun Pavilion, sigh...
A trace of lightning power swiftly shot through the veins, guided by him, gradually moving towards the chest and abdominal area
Unfortunately, he did not know that Qin Lie, who had been abiding by the rules for five years, broke his unchanging pattern for the first time today
Over the years, the meridians, muscles, arms, and legs have gradually adapted to the infusion of thunder and lightning. As long as the internal organs are also refined thoroughly, a solid foundation for enduring the heavenly thunder can truly be established, allowing the entire body to fully withstand the tempering and impact of the heavenly thunder
Meanwhile, outside, the mountains of medicine stretch to the horizon, with thunder intertwining and deafening, as bolts of lightning ravage the sky
... ...
Wherever the lightning strikes, the tendons, bones, and flesh ache to the point of near unconsciousness. However, he is acutely aware that amidst the excruciating pain, the lightning is gradually tempering and forging his bones and flesh, allowing his body to slowly adapt to the more intense trials of heavenly thunder cultivation
Accompanied by the thunderous roar, an astonishing current surged through the crevices of the cave ceiling, entering eight stone pillars that were narrow at the top and wide at the base. This current then flowed through the intricate web of silver wires coiled around the pillars, causing electric flashes to frequently appear within the cave, illuminating the stone chamber brightly.
In the vast stone cave, in the center of the octagonal stone pillars, silver threads crisscross in all directions, resembling a series of enormous spider webs intertwined with a piece of hetushu.com.com.
Generally speaking, the more profound and refined the spiritual power of a martial artist, the stronger and more advanced their realm tends to be
The spiritual herbs and medicines of Lingjia Yaoshan cannot withstand the destructive overflow of lightning. When I was there, I guided the lightning that overflowed from your cultivation to other places, ensuring it would not affect the spiritual herbs of the mountain. Although I rearranged things before I left, I was in a hurry and could not cover every detail. Over time, the lightning overflow from your cultivation will still damage the growth of those spiritual herbs, and it is likely to attract the attention of the Ling family sooner or later. Please pay attention to this yourself.
When the day comes that you have reached a sufficiently high level of understanding and can break the memory seal of the Soul-Restraining Pearl, you will naturally know what happened ten years ago
Behind the stone pillar, there is a square wooden box, which is not locked. Qin Lie easily opens it.
During this period, he did not pause his steps at all, clearly unaffected by the intricate maze within the cave
Spiritual power is the most fundamental source of strength for a martial artist, and it is also the most basic standard for measuring the strength and level of a martial artist.

Lier, Grandfather will try his best to return to you before you turn seventeen. If by that time I have not returned, it is possible that something has happened to me. In that case, you must not come looking for me; just focus on your cultivation and live your own life well.
Countless fine bolts of lightning shot forth, yet they did not penetrate the untroubled mind of Qin Lie. He could only feel as if his soul were pierced by thousands of steel needles, unable to suppress a heart-wrenching scream.
Yaoshan Stone Cave
You will definitely recognize the statue's spirit beast that is stationed there; I have also made special notes on it, so please take a look.
Heaven, cease your wrath; no longer shall thunder strike the cave. The stone pillars within the cave have become dim and lifeless, and the silver threads no longer shine.
Come on, be even more intense and fierce
Ah!
The content of the letter was not extensive. Qin Lie quickly finished reading it and, after pondering for a moment, took out the stack of maps and began to examine them intently
The reason why the shadowy electric carving of the spirit beast is prominently highlighted in Qin is entirely due to the fact that the beast core contains lightning spiritual power. Of course, the thunder and lightning power within those beast cores is still far from comparable to the thunder currents of the Nine Heavens, and cannot assist Qin Lie in refining his flesh and blood.
By then, the cultivation of Heavenly Thunder will also reach new heights and intensities
In the midst of excruciating pain, Qin Lie's body convulsed, yet a frenzied and violent intent flickered in his eyes, resembling a ferocious beast on the brink of despair
However, the beast core of the Shadow Electric Carving still has some remarkable uses. The power of lightning within the beast core can be easily transformed into spiritual energy by Qin Lie after absorption
This is a large cave, approximately the size of a football field, with the ceiling of the stone walls about ten meters high above the ground. Eight stone pillars, each as thick as a person's waist, rise majestically at the eight corners of the cave.
Qin Lie did not leave the cave before dark; rather, he had entered the depths of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range alone, braving the torrential rain shortly before he arrived.
After the thunderstorm, the rain did not cease; instead, it intensified.
Those maps were drawn by grandfather, depicting the peculiar places within the Extreme Cold Mountains, detailing the distribution locations of spiritual herbs and spiritual stones, as well as the activity ranges of various spiritual beasts. I have specifically marked the locations of spiritual beasts and herbs that will be useful for your cultivation, which you can visit to gather and hunt according to your capabilities after you awaken
An ordinary martial artist, even if at the Opening Yuan realm, would likely meet a swift demise from such violent lightning surging into their body, let alone channeling the lightning into their meridians and introducing it into their flesh and bones
After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Qin Lie staggered down from the silver wire electric net and made his way to behind one of the stone pillars.
Eight stone pillars, shaped like cones, are inserted into the crevices of the stone wall above, resembling eight giant hands holding up the cave, creating a remarkably grand and magnificent scene within the cavern
However, once Qin Lie entered, he moved like a fish in water, effortlessly weaving through the stone paths and heading directly towards the innermost depths of the mountain.
