Chapter 1192: Chapter 620: Supreme Immortal Sect
Gu Sheng hurriedly asked, "Master Uncle, when I cultivate here, what should I pay attention to?"
Daoist Xiushan’s expression turned serious as he sternly cautioned, "You must remember two points. First, you must not venture deep into the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, only stay in the peripheral areas. The lightning power is relatively weaker in the peripheral areas; with your Sacred Body, you should be able to handle it.
Second, if you encounter a large bolt of lightning, do not attempt to withstand it; you must flee immediately. The larger the lightning, the more terrifying its power. At most, you can endure the diffused thunderlight from a lightning explosion, but you must never confront fully formed Heavenly Thunder head-on."
Gu Sheng nodded earnestly, committing these precautions firmly to memory.
Seeing Gu Sheng’s seriousness, Daoist Xiushan nodded with satisfaction. They continued on for a distance and arrived at the foot of the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.
As they stepped into the range of the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, darkness covered the land, and only Heavenly Thunder streaked across, dancing wildly within the darkness, bringing slight illumination.
Daoist Xiushan said to Gu Sheng, "Cultivate around here. If anything happens, just call out to me." Then he quietly disappeared from view.
Gu Sheng looked around but couldn’t see any trace of Daoist Xiushan, feeling somewhat uneasy, he tentatively called out, "Master Uncle?"
At that moment, a voice with a hint of helplessness came from above, "No need to shout, I’m nearby, just focus on your cultivation."
A lightning bolt exploded within Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, its rumbling roar echoing all around.
Gu Sheng, dressed in black, sat resolutely atop a giant rock on the mountain peak.
The area was awash in thunderous might; anyone nearing would be torn to shreds by the fearsome power. Yet Gu Sheng seemed oblivious, crossing his legs, placing his hands on his knees, and with his five hearts facing the sky, he began to circulate the mental method within his body.
As he breathed in and out, the extremely faint lightning in the air seemed drawn by some mysterious force, converging towards him. These tiny, dazzling sparks of lightning attached swiftly to his body as soon as they made contact.
These seemingly weak sparks actually held astonishing power; as soon as they attached, they emitted sizzling sounds, scorching Gu Sheng’s skin black and blue.
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, feeling the pain travel from his skin. He marveled at the terrifying power of the Heavenly Thunder; just these unformed sparks were almost unbearable.
If he were truly struck by the fully formed Heavenly Thunder, he feared he would be reduced to dust, an unimaginably dire consequence.
But Gu Sheng did not retreat. In this Cultivation World, where the strong reign supreme, making a name for oneself means constantly challenging limits and tempering oneself.
He endured the pain, beginning to consciously guide the sparks to move along his meridians, thereby refining his body.
He didn’t forget to absorb the abundant nature’s spiritual energy around him. As the Spiritual Energy entered his body and merged with the sparks, cold and hot, soft and firm, they continuously clashed and harmonized within him. Gu Sheng felt his body and Spiritual Power gradually strengthen through this wondrous process.
Gu Sheng’s body began emitting dense explosive sounds, one after another, in an unbroken stream.
Every explosion brought a surge of sparks and Spiritual Energy. More lightning flowed from all directions, absorbed into his body.
Under the dual baptism of sparks and Spiritual Energy, Gu Sheng’s body grew increasingly resilient, and the black spots and blue marks previously scorched by the sparks gradually faded, replaced by a faint golden aura.
High above, Daoist Xiushan stood with arms behind his back, silently watching Gu Sheng’s cultivation below, eyes inadvertently revealing envy.
"This child’s Sacred Body is truly flawless," Daoist Xiushan murmured, "With such solid and steady strengthening of the body, he is destined to reach a very high realm in the future."
In the Cultivation World, a human Sacred Body is akin to a Divine Beast, possessing unmatched physical strength and vastly greater potential than ordinary people. The energy needed to enhance the body is tens or even hundreds of times that of Body Refiners at the same realm.
This means that owners of a Sacred Body face far more challenges and obstacles on their cultivation journey.
Daoist Xiushan’s eyes revealed regret, "If this child were born in the Ancient Era, when nature’s spiritual energy was plentiful and resources were abundant, his achievements, relying on this Sacred Body, would be boundless.
But in this age, desolate and bleak, especially in this Xinghong Spirit Domain, the Spiritual Energy grows thinner, and resources are increasingly scarce."
Daoist Xiushan thought of something else. "Fortunately, this kid has received the inheritance from the Holy Road Master, there’s a chance he might truly become an Immortal."
Meanwhile, within the Water Spirit Pavilion under the Tianlan Saint Master’s jurisdiction.
"Holy Mother, nine individuals claim to be the fiancé of the Tianxuan Divine Girl, what is your view on this?" the Tianlan Saint Master asked.
The Tianlan Saint Mother replied, "Saint Master, most of these people are disciples or direct descendants of the elders and likely have the elders’ backing behind them."
The Tianlan Saint Master showed displeasure, "Hmph, these elders, always acting in their own interests, coming up with ideas like this for their own benefit. Does the Goddess have any countermeasures?"
The Tianlan Saint Mother hesitated for a moment and said,
"The Goddess is prepared, but she hasn’t shared the specifics with me. It is a secret the Goddess asked me to keep, and I hope you understand, Saint Master."
The Tianlan Saint Master pondered for a moment and waved their hand, "Enough, the Goddess has always been cautious in her actions; she must have her plans. But this matter concerns the reputation of our Tianlan Sacred Land, so we must not be careless."
