Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 666: Chapter 36: Summit of Thunder Peak Mountain, Tier Five Spirit Medicine!

In the Thunder Lake, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, stark naked.

Above his head, his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Thunder Pool, hovered, continuously absorbing the Thunder Element Power from the Lake of Thunderous Jelly to replenish itself.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun himself mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body, guiding the dense Thunder Spirit Power around him to slowly flow into his body.

The violent Thunder Power, under his precise control, was like a tamed beast, traveling along specific meridian routes.

Strands of Thunder Arc continually tempered his muscles, bones, and organs, provoking bouts of piercing pain while also activating the deep-seated potential within his body.

Zhou Xun’s face was solemn, fully focused on feeling every change in his body, not daring to slacken his vigilance.

As time passed, the Thunder Power within him became more and more turbulent, seemingly sensing Zhou Xun’s challenge, frantically impacting his body.

Those arcs of lightning attacked him like sharp swords, as if they wanted to engulf him.

At the same time, Zhou Xun’s Body Refining Technique gradually operated to its limit, and his body seemed to turn into a massive ingot of iron, being continually tempered,

Every impact and refinement made his body tougher, bringing him closer to the Tenth Layer of the Body Refining Technique.

Like this, thirteen days flew by in a flash,

On this day,

Zhou Xun’s body suddenly burst out with a brilliant light, a light that contained terrifying Thunder Power.

Immediately following, a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the water of the surrounding Thunder Lake to ripple violently under its influence.

Across his body, arcs of lightning flashed and then slowly receded, becoming ordinary, as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.

Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them, feeling the surging power within, as if he could shake mountains and rivers.

Just a moment ago, his Body Refining Technique successfully broke through the Tenth Layer, equivalent to the Early-Stage Nascent Soul in Mana Cultivation.

Now, just in terms of physique, he could already compare to a Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Beast,

As a result, he gained an additional means of the Nascent Soul Stage, more importantly, his defense had been greatly enhanced.

Returning to True Monarch Yuxiao’s Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun recuperated for a day, as the Lightning of the Lake of Thunderous Jelly was truly violent,

Given his current Cultivation, he had to fully concentrate, or else, if not careful, his physical body might be destroyed,

But this state was a huge drain on his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

After recuperating, Zhou Xun’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit returned to their peak.

"Next, let’s test the power of this Tenth Layer of Body Refining!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself, patting his waist to take out a long sword, a trophy from defeating an unfortunate opponent,

A Middle-Grade Magical Treasure!

Holding it in his right hand, slowly channeling Mana,

The long sword emitted a layer of cyan light, with extraordinary power,

Aiming at his left arm, Zhou Xun chopped down without hesitation,

"Ding—"

A metallic clashing sound echoed,

Zhou Xun’s arm remained unscathed, not even a scratch, whereas the long sword’s glow dimmed, appearing as though it had lost its spirit light.

This was indeed a solid Middle-Grade Attack Treasure, just the level used by Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators.

But against Zhou Xun’s body, it couldn’t cause even a scratch,

"It seems that my physique is a bit stronger than those ordinary Tier Four Demon Beasts, at least compared to that Demon Shark I killed back in the day, it definitely didn’t have such power!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun was greatly pleased.

Actually, this was normal, as the Thunder Forging Body Technique derived from the "Purple Sky Thunder Technique," a top-level technique passed down from the Upper Realm, even if not its core secret technique,

is naturally superior to ordinary Body Refining Techniques.

Having completed his experiments, Zhou Xun felt assured of the results of this Cultivation session.

He’s gained an additional Tier Four Low-Grade Defense, and it doesn’t consume any Mana.

This had already been his eighteenth day here.

"There’s about ten days left until the Thunder Tide!" Zhou Xun looked at the Thunder Lake with reluctance.

"If not for the lengthy time required to condense Thunder Seeds, each taking at least half a month, I would have stayed here!"

"My purpose in coming here has been fulfilled, next, I’ll check out that Tier Five Low-Grade ’Profound Thunder Nurtured Reishi,’ if it’s there, I’ll figure out a way to retrieve it in the future!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun didn’t stay any longer, stood up straight, and left the Cave Mansion.

With a flip of his hand, the Manipulation Command Flag for the "Five Skies Purple Thunder Array" appeared in his palm,

Slowly channeling Mana, he waved it forward,

"Sizzle—"

Streams of light shot out from the ground, rising into the air in front of Zhou Xun, transforming into three hundred and sixty array flags,

He waved his large hand,

Gathering them all into a huge wooden box and placing it into his Storage Bag.

This Array, reaching Tier Four High-Grade, even had the ability to self-destruct, not sparing even a Great Cultivator, such a treasure was naturally not something he was willing to miss.

Having done all this, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to the Cave Mansion in front of him,

Zhou Xun had long recognized it as the legendary Celestial Secret House, known from Scriptures, which could be collected when not in use and stored in a Storage Bag,

When in use, it could be conjured as an extremely comfortable Cave Mansion, highly convenient.

Of course, such a Cave Mansion is relatively low-level, as powerful Cultivators in legends could directly create small spaces to serve as their Cave Mansion.

Standing in front of the Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun formed a hand seal, sending a strand of Spirit Light forward.

The Celestial Secret House shrank instantly, becoming palm-sized, landing in Zhou Xun’s hand like a model.
