Free Web NovelChapter 1321: Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform
Translator: CinderTL
The spiritual power flooding into Song Wen’s dantian was vast and boundless, far exceeding the limits his nascent soul could absorb.
This power surged within his dantian like a tempestuous sea, churning and surging without cease.
Song Wen’s face instantly drained of color, turning as pale as paper.
Agonizing pain, as if his flesh were being torn apart, erupted from every meridian and his dantian, as if countless razor-sharp blades were rampaging through his body.
Yet Song Wen remained expressionless, his gaze unnervingly cold.
He pushed the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art to its absolute limit, relentlessly devouring the spiritual power from Wei Gu’s nascent soul.
Having failed once already, another failure would likely mean he would never break through to the Body Integration Stage in this lifetime.
The overwhelming spiritual power relentlessly battered against the bottleneck.
After countless assaults, the bottleneck finally shattered with a thunderous roar.
Within his dantian, the nascent soul’s eyes snapped open, burning with savage excitement, like a starving beast scenting its prey.
Like a sea swallowing a river, the nascent soul frantically devoured the spiritual power flooding its dantian and meridians.
Immediately, the aura surrounding Song Wen began to surge violently.
Visible ripples of Primordial Qi radiated outward, scattering debris and dust throughout the cavern.
In mere breaths, Song Wen’s aura shattered the limits of the Void Refinement Stage, advancing to the Early Body Integration Stage.
At that moment, a small portion of spiritual power remained in Wei Gu’s nascent soul, but Song Wen had to stop absorbing it because he lacked the Body Integration Stage cultivation technique from the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art.
Although Wei Gu undoubtedly possessed it, Song Wen didn’t have time to slowly comprehend it. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
As for why Song Wen didn’t first comprehend the subsequent stages of the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art before absorbing Wei Gu’s nascent soul’s spiritual power, it was because once a cultivator died, the spiritual power within their nascent soul would gradually dissipate, transforming into Spiritual Qi and returning to the world. Even if certain secret arts could delay this process, the time gained wouldn’t be sufficient for Song Wen to comprehend the cultivation technique.
"Huff!"
Song Wen exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes gleaming with vitality.
After a brief adjustment to suppress the excitement of breaking through, the divine light in his eyes receded, and his expression returned to its usual calm and unperturbed state. freewebnσvel.cøm
Song Wen submerged his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.
The divine souls of Jian Xiao, Wei Gu, and Ye Nan remained imprisoned there.
Upon seeing Song Wen’s appearance, all three simultaneously turned their gazes toward him.
"Your Excellency, why have you imprisoned us here? If we comply with your demands, might we earn a chance at Body Seizing and rebirth?" Jian Xiao asked.
"It seems Senior Jian Xiao doesn’t recognize me."
As he spoke, Song Wen’s appearance began to transform.
His current form was merely a manifestation of his divine sense power, freely malleable at will.
When Jian Xiao saw Song Wenxin’s true face, a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
"You’re... Gou Jun!"
"Indeed," Song Wen replied, pausing briefly before continuing. "Speaking of which, I must express my sincere gratitude to you, Senior Jian Xiao. If you hadn’t led your forces to besiege the Six Fiends Hall, I would never have had the opportunity to fulfill my wish—to slay Wei Gu."
Jian Xiao’s mind raced as he urgently asked, "How did you know I was leading the siege on the Six Fiends Hall? This information was only known to a handful of Body Integration Stage cultivators!"
A faint, barely concealed smile curled the corners of Song Wen’s lips.
"I had Bai Wei and Wang Qiuyue reveal the Six Fiends Hall’s location to you."
Jian Xiao froze momentarily, his face now a mask of astonishment.
"You... you orchestrated all of this?"
"Precisely!" Song Wen confirmed.
"Hahaha..." Jian Xiao let out a long, hollow laugh, tinged with bitterness. "It seems my defeat was well-deserved. I initially resented Ying Wu and the others for their betrayal, but I never realized I had fallen into your trap from the very beginning."
"If you hadn’t been so arrogant, my plan would never have succeeded," Song Wen said before changing the subject. "In the Immortal’s Tomb, what was inside the wooden box you obtained?"
"It’s a palm-sized stone tablet inscribed with the method for crafting the Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform," Jian Xiao said.
"Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform?" Song Wen frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. "What is that?"
Jian Xiao glanced at Wei Gu beside him and said, "Let Wei Gu explain it to you."
Song Wen’s confusion deepened as he turned his gaze to Wei Gu.
Wei Gu explained, "Within the Divine Blood Gate, some core disciples are deeply versed in thunder magic, wielding its boundless power. You must have heard of this, haven’t you?"
Song Wen nodded slightly but remained silent.
Wei Gu continued, "The thunder magic aptitude of these disciples is actually quite ordinary, including my own. But the Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform can seize the natural order of heaven and earth, plundering the thunder magic aptitude of others and making it their own. However, this platform has a limitation: the person activating the formation must possess at least some innate thunder magic aptitude, regardless of its quality. Without even a trace of such aptitude, the platform cannot be used. This is why some core disciples of the Divine Blood Gate cannot cultivate thunder magic."
A sharp glint flashed in Song Wen’s eyes.
This Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform... isn’t it the same altar I used in the Lower Realm’s Lei Family and the Divine Blood Hall to devour the thunder magic aptitude of others?!
With the method to refine this Sacrifice Platform, wouldn’t it mean he could continue enhancing his thunder magic talent?
Wei Gu noticed Song Wen’s unusual reaction and asked, "Have you encountered the Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform before?"
Song Wen replied, "Just answer my questions truthfully, and I’ll grant you a swift death. Otherwise, you’ll taste the Golden Soup Curse."
"You even know the Golden Soup Curse?" Wei Gu’s pupils constricted slightly. "Who exactly are you? Not only do you possess the Blood Sea Seal, but if I’m not mistaken, you’re cultivating the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art, aren’t you?"
"You’re mistaken. I’m not one of your Divine Blood Gate members." After a pause, Song Wen continued, "Do you have the complete cultivation technique for the Corpse King’s Rebirth Art?"
Wei Gu replied, "I only have the portions up to the Body Integration Stage."
Hearing that Wei Gu lacked the cultivation technique beyond the Body Integration Stage, a hint of disappointment flashed across Song Wen’s face.
"Where is the technique?"
"In my storage ring, there’s a blood-colored jade slip," Wei Gu said.
Outside the Sea of Consciousness, Song Wen retrieved a storage ring from his sleeve. After searching through it, he produced a blood-colored jade slip.
He probed the jade slip with his divine sense, quickly reviewing its contents.
Confirming the accuracy of the cultivation technique, Song Wen shifted his attention back to the Sea of Consciousness.
"Do you know anyone who possesses the subsequent portions of the technique?" Song Wen asked.
Wei Gu replied, "Then you’ll have to ask the Great Ascension Stage elders of the Divine Blood Gate."
Song Wen shook his head slightly. Even though he had advanced to the Body Integration Stage, he still couldn’t afford to provoke Great Ascension Stage cultivators.
