117: Break through again, what's the use of the minefield?
His Physical Body cultivation and Primordial Spirit cultivation were progressing every moment. This feeling was truly intoxicating, like drinking a bottle of ice-cold soda on a scorching summer day.
The two individuals and one Spirit Monkey occasionally moved forward. As their Physical Body improved, they naturally needed stronger thunder to achieve the best refining effect.
Thunderous light coursed through Ji Yi's entire body, penetrating every cell. Even all his bones were covered in thunder, which seeped little by little into the deepest parts of his bones. His bones were becoming denser and more solid. Currently, Ji Yi's bone strength could rival Rank King spirit iron.
His Primordial Spirit continuously comprehended the Profound Truths of thunder. Amidst the continuous thunder bombardment and the process of breaking down and then re-establishing, Ji Yi once again comprehended the Profound Truths of thunder's swiftness and breaking down then re-establishing.
The size of his Primordial Spirit was also continuously shrinking. A month and a half later, Ji Yi's Primordial Spirit had shrunk to 1.2 meters. Ji Yi's current Primordial Spirit strength already surpassed that of many Great Powers.
A wave of fluctuations once again spread from Ji Yi's body. Ji Yi's Physical Body cultivation had advanced to the Late Stage of the fifth Realm's initial stage.
He clenched his fist, and streaks of spatial cracks appeared. Ji Yi now possessed the power to shatter the Void Realm. With just his Physical Body, Ji Yi could contend with a King.
He looked at Ji Ziyan and Sun Qiubai, who were still Cultivating. Ji Yi got up and walked further in. He was going to the central Thunder Sea to let the Thunder Dao Seed get its fill first.
Crossing ten li, the thunder attacks here were already comparable to those of an ordinary King. Releasing the power of the Thunder Dao Seed, he pulled all the thunder within a hundred-meter radius towards him, passing it all through his Physical Body into the Thunder Dao Seed.
Fifteen li, twenty li, thirty li. The thunder attacks here were already comparable to those of a top-tier King. The figures Cultivating in seclusion here were already very scarce.
Ji Yi saw the strong man he had previously encountered drinking goji berries, and also the monk who had passed by him earlier.
Sensing the violent fluctuations of thunder behind them, they all turned around to see what had happened.
When they saw Ji Yi walking in, carrying a hundred-meter-thick thunder pillar, they were so shocked their eyes nearly popped out.
"This... this... Brother... no, Senior, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai earlier. Please forgive me." The strong man cupped his hands and apologized to Ji Yi. He believed Ji Yi must be a Saint who cared about appearance, and not just an ordinary Saint, otherwise, how could he dare to do something like this?
"It's nothing." Ji Yi waved his hand. This kind of thing was hard to explain, so he just let them misunderstand.
"Amitabha!" The monk also performed a Buddhist salute to Ji Yi, showing respect for the Saint Senior.
Ji Yi nodded and walked past them, continuing forward. The Thunder Sea was not far ahead.
After walking another two li, a pool of silver water came into Ji Yi's sight. The pool was not large, only ten square meters at most.
This was the Thunder Sea, a marvel of creation. This pool of Thunder Sea was formed by this land absorbing the power of thunder from this place.
The pool water was very calm, and the silver water emitted a thin layer of silver mist. It looked very much like a hot spring, making one want to go in for a bath.
But if one were to actually do that, they would not be far from turning into ash. In this Thunder Sea, if one's Physical Body Realm had not reached the Saint Rank, touching the pool water would instantly turn them into flying ash.
Ji Yi walked to the edge of the Thunder Sea and extended one hand into it. This Thunder Sea was his goal. When his hand touched the water, he felt nothing, as the Thunder Dao Seed had absorbed all the power of thunder.
The water level was rapidly decreasing. The Thunder Dao Seed was like a glutton encountering a peerless delicacy, devouring it wildly. In a dozen breaths, the Thunder Sea had already reached the bottom.
The Thunder Dao Seed conveyed a sense of satisfaction, like a child who had received a beloved toy.
Ji Yi clapped his hands. Mission accomplished. From now on, he wouldn't lack thunder for Ji Ziyan's Body Refining and Primordial Spirit tempering.
He walked out, nodded to the strong man and the monk, and then Ji Yi left directly, maintaining the demeanor of a Saint perfectly.
Returning to where Sun Qiubai and Ji Ziyan were, Sun Qiubai opened his eyes, revealing a questioning look, because he had previously watched Ji Yi, carrying a towering thunder pillar, run into the depths of the Thunder Sea, which truly broadened his horizons.
"Is this really a Nascent Soul Realm? Is my Nascent Soul Realm fake?" Sun Qiubai somewhat doubted if he had Cultivated a false immortal.
"I just wandered around inside. That Thunder Sea was just so-so, not even as big as my bathtub. It was nothing special," Ji Yi said calmly.
"Brother Ji, when it comes to showing off, I'm not as good as you." Sun Qiubai admitted defeat. He couldn't hold onto the title of the King of Showing Off anymore.
"......" Ji Yi was speechless.
"Once I collect some power of thunder, we'll head to the next stop. I'm a bit tired of being struck by lightning here for three months," Sun Qiubai said.
"I had the same thought." Ji Yi also had this idea. Anyway, he didn't lack the power of thunder. Now the Thunder Dao Seed was constantly releasing the power of thunder to temper his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit. At this rate, advancing to the Celestial Altar Realm and the Middle Stage of the fifth Realm was just around the corner.
Sun Qiubai pulled out an iron rod from his ear and threw it into the Thunder Sea. "Boom, boom, boom..." The thunder, as if seeing an evil spirit, continuously struck the iron rod.
"Brother Sun, this weapon is extraordinary."
"It's just a Great Sacred Artifact. Its power has been Sealed. It's almost like scrap metal," Sun Qiubai said dismissively.
"You know, the elders in our families are really something. We're not children anymore, but they keep giving us their weapons. Like my third ancestor, he insisted on forcing his Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon on me. I couldn't even refuse. What use do I have for it?" Ji Yi said helplessly.
"I've lost, I've lost completely..." Sun Qiubai drooped his head, realizing that compared to Ji Yi, he, the leader of the Spirit Monkey Clan, was utterly useless.
"Pfft..." Ji Ziyan couldn't help but laugh. Brother Ji was truly too mischievous, always finding ways to annoy people.
Another ten days passed. Ji Ziyan also advanced. Two days later, Sun Qiubai also completed a Breakthrough in his Physical Body, but only advanced to the Middle Stage of Half-Step Great Power, not comparable to Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan's Late Stage of Half-Step Great Power. (For easier reading, the Physical Body cultivation Realm will be changed back to the same Rank as the Primordial Spirit cultivation. This was an oversight before.)
"Let's go." Sun Qiubai reached out and clenched his hand. The iron rod in the depths of the Thunder Sea flew out, landed in his hand, and was shrunk and tucked into his ear.
The three walked out. This journey to the Thunder Star temporarily came to an end. They would return if needed in the future.
Coming out of the Thunder Sea, it was a bit unaccustomed not to be struck by lightning all of a sudden.
"How is Brother Sun's itinerary planned?" Ji Yi asked. There were many ways to go to the Ziwei Emperor Star.
"It's up to you. Any way is fine," Sun Qiubai said indifferently.
"Alright, then we'll head to the Enlightenment Star," Ji Yi decided.
