Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The numbers on Gu Yang’s waist badge suddenly jumped from “forty-one” to “seventy-eight”.

When the number on the badge exceeded fifty, a detailed map was transmitted to Gu Yang's mind.

Now he just needs to follow the instructions and he will find the Lingliu River.

Gu Yang was so excited that he clapped his hands with Hu Qing through the air. Now he could finally use his points to spend at the gathering point.

It was only the fifth day since they entered the secret realm, and they had already accumulated enough points, which truly fulfilled the old saying "killing people and setting fires will earn you a golden belt."

The two of them divided the thunder beads into two parts. Now they should be able to stay here for ten days, which should be enough time to practice the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art".

The two placed the thunder beads in the small groove on the thunder platform and used their mental power to activate the formation.

The icy cold thunder platform suddenly became warm, and the formation crushed the thunder beads in the small groove.

A strange spiritual power was released, and Hu Qing tried to absorb it, but the spiritual power remained unaffected.

A moment later, this spiritual power was absorbed by the Thunder Platform, and both of them felt the intensity being adjusted in their minds.

Looking at the three levels of low, medium and high on the formation, the two men did not hesitate. A real man would choose... the low level.

After all, this is my first experience, so I have to practice from the bottom up.

Two bolts of lightning fell from the sky and struck the two men fiercely. The formation on the thunder platform was activated and a semicircular cover rose.

The formation immediately blocked most of the thunder, and the remaining numbing lightning mixed with spiritual energy continued to flow into their bodies.

Gu Yang sat on the thunder platform, his body trembling slightly from being struck by lightning, but a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He could feel his cultivation level improving steadily, and every time lightning struck, he could feel his strength growing.

Hu Qing was also immersed in cultivation, and there was also a force surging in his body.

He could feel the power of thunder and lightning having an inexplicable attraction to his body, so he began to try to absorb these powers and make them a part of himself.

After a period of practice, they have adapted to the power of thunder and lightning.

Now, it is time to practice the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art" that has been deposited for a long time.

This combat method relies entirely on the soul to drive it, so the previous training all involves the soul, which the two have already seen in advance.

This requires opening up a small space at the core of the soul to store the power of thunder and lightning, nourishing the soul at all times and also releasing it for battle.

For a monk, the soul is the most important part, so the two did not dare to be careless at all.

The two took a deep breath, encouraged each other, and then began to practice more carefully.

They slowly channeled the lightning emerging from their bodies into their souls, which was an indescribable pain.

The power of thunder and lightning was like countless needles, piercing into their souls, making them feel numb and painful all over.

But both of them were men of strong will. They kept trying under the bombardment of thunder and lightning until their souls could perfectly accept the baptism of thunder and lightning.

This process is long and painful. Every time thunder and lightning are introduced, it feels like a test of life and death.

Both of their foreheads were covered with sweat and their bodies were shaking unconsciously, but neither of them chose to give up and continued to accept the impact of lightning.

Only by enduring such pain can one make further progress on the path of cultivation.

There is no such thing as smooth sailing in cultivation.

As time went by, the two were finally able to endure the impact of the power of thunder and lightning, and their souls became tougher.

They rested for a while and then tried the next move.

The two endured the pain and tore a small crack in the core of their soul, introducing lightning as a "thunder seed".

The most critical thing is the type of thunder, which is the place where lightning is stored, and we cannot be careless at all.

This process was even more painful than before. The splitting of their souls made them feel like dying, but they did not dare to be impatient and could only tear open the gap little by little.

After the gap opened, the two of them silently recited the spell in their minds, and their mental power, with strands of lightning, slowly contacted the core, forming a small space there.

Although this space is not large, it is the key to their practice of the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art".

It took the two of them three full days to complete all this.

During these three days, they hardly slept and devoted themselves to cultivation.

Every time lightning strikes, their meridians become tougher, and every time their souls are tempered, their will becomes stronger.

Gu Yang opened his eyes, lightning flashed in his eyes, and he could feel his soul becoming stronger.

This is the result of practicing the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art". His soul has successfully accepted the power of thunder and lightning.

Hu Qing also opened his eyes, and there was also a flash of lightning in his eyes.

He found that his body under the black robe had become stronger, and the tracking patterns on it had become somewhat fainter.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

Although this process is painful, the benefits are indeed great.

With the development of the thunder seeds, Hu Qing and Gu Yang only rested for a short while before preparing for the next step of cultivation.

Time is precious and we cannot afford to rest too much.

Now that their souls would basically have no problems, the two of them released the restrictions on thunder and lightning and adjusted the strength of the formation on the thunder platform to the intermediate level.

Two bolts of lightning struck, and both men's bodies became somewhat stiff.

This time, the formation only offset less than one-third of the lightning, and the rest was absorbed by the two people.

The two adapted to this power in pain, and the thunder seeds in their souls began to absorb the surrounding lightning on their own.

They felt their souls swelling, and quickly practiced the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique" to transform the lightning in the thunder seeds into purer spiritual power to nourish their souls.

This process is painful yet wonderful. They can feel their souls becoming stronger under the tempering of thunder and lightning.

Gu Yang closed his eyes tightly, a look of pain on his face.

He could feel the power of thunder and lightning raging in his body, and every time the lightning struck, he felt his strength growing.

This is the only way to practice the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art". Only in this way can one truly absorb the power of thunder and lightning and improve one's cultivation.

Hu Qing was also practicing the same thing. He could feel the power of thunder and lightning flowing through his body. Every time thunder and lightning struck, he felt his physical strength growing.

This is a rare opportunity for training, and the two must give it their all.

The two of them practiced like this for five days, and their souls became thicker and larger.

Gu Yang's realm also broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, and his whole body looked radiant.

There is no change in Hu Qing's golden elixir, which should be unsuitable for the power of thunder and lightning.

The puppet on his body has changed a lot. Half of the tracking patterns on it have disappeared, and its surface is getting closer to that of a human. Its overall strength is approaching that of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

It seems more like a living person. Could it be that this lightning can also temper puppets?

The two sat on the thunder platform, with dark clouds rolling around them, as if they would come down at any time.

Their eyes fell on the groove in front of the thunder platform, where there were only a few thunder beads left.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes. Now it was time to give it a try.

"Aqing, adjust it to high level!" Gu Yang's voice sounded particularly firm amid the roar of thunder and lightning.

Hu Qing clenched his fists and nodded, and together they adjusted the lightning level of the formation to the advanced level.

In an instant, two bolts of lightning suddenly struck down and landed on the formation. The two bolts of lightning suddenly expanded, from electric snakes the size of a bowl to the size of a plate, carrying the power to destroy everything, and struck the two people's bodies directly.

This formation did not cancel out the lightning, but instead amplified it, which was estimated to increase its power by nearly half.

The power of thunder and lightning raged in their bodies, as if it was going to tear their bodies apart.

If the two of them had not practiced the "Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art", which made their souls and bodies resistant to thunder, their souls would have been destroyed by this force long ago.

Their hair stood up from the baptism of thunder and lightning, the skin on their faces was scorched black, and their clothes were tattered.

They could feel that the lightning contained in the thunder seed became more refined. Without hesitation, the two of them continued to choose high-level lightning.

The clouds in the sky rolled more violently, as if the heavens were angry and the people were resentful. Thicker bolts of lightning were like the angry whips of the gods, lashing the two men fiercely.

The area where they were was struck by lightning and it was as bright as day. The dazzling light even attracted the attention of other monks in the distance.
