Chapter 335 Building the Foundation of Godhood
Ning Bu'er sensed the violent yet precisely controlled aura of thunder, and instinctively straightened his body, closed his eyes tightly, and his long eyelashes trembled violently like the wings of a startled butterfly.
"Relax. If your soul resists when the lightning crystal enters your body, the demonic flames will backfire."
Chen Yi's tone left no room for argument.
He reached out his other hand and placed it on Ning Bu'er's lower back. Her muscles were taut and her skin smooth. The warmth of his palm traveled through her cool skin, infusing the icy touch with a burning sensation.
Ning Bu'er's side waist was extremely flexible, and the sensation of her fingertips sinking into it was clearly fed back to Chen Yi's brain.
He could feel the tension in the girl's subcutaneous muscles, an instinctive reaction left over from long-term physical training.
"Your current foundation is not yet able to support the complete origin of Soul Thunder."
The lightning crystal marrow implanted this time is to perfect your innate lightning talisman and lay the foundation for future dual cultivation.
The lightning at Chen Yi's fingertip suddenly contracted, transforming into a nearly solid blue-purple crystal the size of a bean.
Countless tiny runes flowed across the surface of the crystal, representing the original power of the Thunder Spirit that he had come to understand in recent years.
Ning Bu'er took a deep breath, his chest expanding significantly.
She opened her eyes, the light of the lightning crystal reflected in her pupils. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she bit her lip slightly, her breath sweet as orchids: "I understand. Master stayed outside so that I wouldn't be distracted."
Just go all out, Fuji can handle it.
Chen Yi nodded slightly without answering, his full attention focused on Lei Jing's guidance.
He gently parted her forearm around her waist, his fingertips touching her smooth, jade-like skin.
The moment the lightning crystal touched the skin, there was no burning sensation as expected. Instead, it was like a drop of water sinking into dry sand, silently seeping in.
Ning Bu'er's body suddenly arched, his long legs kicking unconsciously on the animal skin, his toes gripping tightly like peeled grapes, wrinkling a piece of the hide.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, running down her cheeks and dripping onto the white bodice spread beneath her, leaving a faint stain.
Hang in there.
Chen Yi gave a low shout, gently pressing his left hand on her shoulder and his right palm against her dantian. A continuous stream of lightning spiritual power transformed into a gentle stream, guiding the violent lightning crystal upwards along her meridians.
During this process, lightning energy inevitably swept over every corner of her body.
Ning Bu'er could feel the tingling sensation spreading from her toes to her fingertips, every inch of her skin becoming incredibly sensitive under the baptism of thunder.
She could clearly feel the lines on Chen Yi's palm and the air he exhaled onto her neck as he breathed.
This extreme pain and extreme sensitivity intertwined, causing her consciousness to briefly go blank.
"There's no rush regarding dual cultivation."
Chen Yi watched her breathing gradually calm down, his gaze remaining calm to the point of being almost cold.
"Twenty years. In these twenty years, I will perfect the method of dual cultivation of soul and body. By then, even a near-fifth-order demonic flame will only become your nourishment."
He withdrew his hand, and the light within the lightning array gradually dimmed.
Ning Bu'er collapsed onto the animal-skin couch, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Long, black hair was disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her damp cheeks.
She watched Chen Yi's retreating figure, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.
This man is always so clear-headed, so clear-headed it's frightening.
"In that case, let's continue."
Ning Bu'er slowly sat up, her body's exquisite curves outlining an even more alluring silhouette.
She reached out, her fingertips pointing towards Chen Yi's chest, a stubborn smile curving her lips.
"The process of planting the lightning crystal isn't over yet, is it? Go ahead and do it."
The lightning gradually subsided, and the cave returned to darkness.
Ning Bu'er's body went limp, completely losing the strength to support herself, and she leaned back, squeezing herself into Chen Yi's arms.
Large swathes of her snow-white skin were exposed to the air without reservation, rising and falling with her rapid breathing, flushed with a faint pinkish hue, as she completely surrendered herself to the man behind her.
She didn't want to move, not even a single finger.
Chen Yi lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the defenseless body in his arms. There was no hint of lust in his eyes, only seriousness.
It's like examining a masterpiece of porcelain that's about to be completed.
He raised his right hand, and in his palm, a ball of dazzling, almost liquefied lightning was dancing—it was highly condensed lightning crystal marrow.
"Bear with it."
With a downward press of his fingertips, lightning bolts shot straight to Ning Bu'er's heart.
"Ugh————"
Ning Bu'er let out a suppressed groan, his body tensed up abruptly, and his ten fingers gripped Chen Yi's arm tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Time became blurred in the flickering of lightning.
Several days later.
A few streaks of blood appeared in Chen Yi's eyes, and waves of exhaustion, originating from the depths of his soul, washed over him.
Ning Bu'er in his arms had reached her limit.
She was limp as a board, too weak to even lift her eyelids, only her chest was still heaving violently.
Within her body, there were currently more than a dozen lightning essences with a strength of eight hundred strands.
Each bolt of lightning essence surged through her meridians and flesh, unleashing a pressure comparable to the full-force attack of a mid-stage fourth-level body refinement cultivator.
If Chen Yi hadn't been there, this power would have been enough to damage her meridians and dantian.
In order for her physical body to accept the quasi-fifth-order demonic flame origin twenty years later, Chen Yi had no choice but to take this risky step.
He frowned slightly, and his immense divine sense poured out, forcefully enveloping the trembling natal thunder talisman within Ning Bu'er's Qi Sea.
"Keep your mind focused."
Chen Yi's voice exploded directly in her mind.
The next moment, he separated a wisp of his own lightning spirit essence and, guided by his divine sense, forcefully yet precisely poured it into the natal lightning talisman.
This is like forcibly diverting a raging river into a small stream; a slight mishap could lead to a dam bursting.
But Chen Yi's control was at its absolute peak.
That wisp of origin was like a key, instantly unlocking the shackles on Ning Bu'er's body, and forcibly enhancing her affinity and control over lightning like a divine intervention.
The dozen or so originally violent lightning essences finally became docile under the suppression of this higher-level source, slowly merging into her limbs and bones.
This almost cheating method allowed Ning Bu'er to possess explosive power comparable to a mid-stage fourth-order body cultivator in a short period of time.
Although this power is a consumable resource that is used up and needs to be replenished by Chen Yi, it is already a stroke of luck that defies fate.
More importantly, when not in combat, these high-level lightning crystal essences constantly temper her innate demonic flame, making her cultivation efficiency advance by leaps and bounds.
The price is pain.
In the past few days, Ning Bu'er felt as if he had been thrown into a millstone, and from every inch of his skin to the deepest part of his soul, he was repeatedly crushed and reassembled by the domineering lightning.
Every nerve was screaming, every drop of blood was boiling.
This extreme pain is enough to drive a person with a weak will to the brink of collapse and madness.
But she endured it all without uttering a sound.
When pain reaches its extreme, it becomes numb; and when trust reaches its extreme, it means disregarding life and death.
At this moment, the storm has temporarily subsided.
Ning Bu'er clung to Chen Yi, completely naked, her hair sticking to her cheeks with sweat.
She didn't want to move at all, and couldn't even muster the thought.
At this moment, all talk of dual cultivation and lust seems superfluous.
She just wanted to hold him like this, feeling the strong heartbeat of the man behind her, until the lightning array collapsed, until the end of time.
Chen Yi's palm gently stroked her smooth back, his fingertips touching the veins that had just calmed down.
He had actually deduced the method of dual cultivation long ago.
I still vividly remember the thrill of dancing with Qin Chengcheng in the heavens, the mingling of our souls, and the shared glory and shame.
In addition, with the Star Moon Sect's secret Star Moon Dual Cultivation manual and the Thunder Soul Sect's profound knowledge of soul-thunder fusion in its Nascent Soul level inheritance, Chen Yi had already constructed a theoretical prototype in his mind.
With his current insightful ability through his Void-Piercing Eyes, combined with the strength of his divine soul in perceiving the world, creating a simple magical technique would not be difficult, and dual cultivation techniques would naturally be within his reach.
But he wanted more than that.
Ordinary physical pleasures or spiritual fulfillment cannot satisfy his pursuit of the Great Dao.
What he wanted was a perfect method that could bring about a qualitative change and dual advancement in both the physical body and the soul.
There are still two puzzle pieces missing.
First, Ning Bu'er's foundation was too weak. Neither his physical strength nor his spiritual resilience could withstand that level of energy erosion.
Secondly, Chen Yi's own Yin-Yang Divine Soul needs to reach a higher level. Only in this way can he ensure that he is completely safe and does not damage his fundamental nature during that violent energy exchange.
In the past few days, Ning Bu'er's body, which can be described as the most beautiful in the world, has been displayed before him without reservation.
During the treatment, his fingers had to touch every inch of her body, feeling its amazing elasticity and warmth.
As a normal male cultivator who had been away from the Star Moon Sect for more than ten years and had not been close to women for a long time, Chen Yi inevitably experienced a surge of heat within him.
But the clarity in his eyes never faded.
The Great Dao is a solitary path. If one cannot even control this basic instinct, how can one talk about becoming a deity?
For the sake of our spiritual practice, it would be better for both of us to touch her later.
Chen Yi remained in that position, embracing the soft and gentle woman, and silently cherished her for a long while.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
[It seems Aunt Xuanyin is finishing up outside. Will she come in soon?]
Chen Yi placed his palm on Ning Bu'er's back, and a stream of pure wood-type life force slowly flowed in, nourishing her tired and parched meridians and helping her regain some vitality.
"I'm going into seclusion to process what I've learned."
After whispering a few words of advice, Chen Yi gently put her down, stood up, straightened his robes, and strode out of the thunder array cage.
It was ultimately inappropriate for his aunt to see him and Bu Er like this.
Outside, thunder roared.
Chen Yi stood at the edge of the fourth-grade high-level lightning pool, his hands behind his back.
The overwhelming pressure of thunder that had made him feel uneasy more than a decade ago now seemed completely different to him.
With the improvement of his lightning essence and body refinement cultivation, the danger level of this pool of raging lightning magma has been greatly reduced for him.
The gaze pierced through the surface lightning, looking directly at the golden source of lightning at the bottom of the pool.
The once awe-inspiring and terrifying being, whose mere presence could lead to certain death, has now been dismantled into slowly flowing golden runes under Chen Yi's Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye.
These runes have a mysterious structure and exude an ancient and desolate aura.
In terms of strength, they are only one level higher than the existing Golden Lightning Source in Chen Yi's body, but they have the advantage of being numerous, as vast as the ocean.
Compared to the fifth-tier Void Thunder Soul Talisman from the ancient battlefield, it was ultimately lacking in some aspects.
Golden light shimmered in Chen Yi's eyes as he opened his Void-Piercing Eyes. He shifted his gaze from the bottom of the pool to the extremely complex lightning-attracting array runes at the top of the cave.
In my mind, countless lines began to be outlined, simulated, and reassembled.
The next instant, his figure swayed, and he leaped straight into the center of the Thunder Pool like a giant rock!
"boom!"
Thunderous plasma exploded, and golden snakes danced wildly.
The fourth-tier superior-grade lightning spirit power from all directions seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly towards him.
Chen Yi neither dodged nor evaded. The eight hundred strands of lightning essence within his body circulated wildly, like greedy maws, devouring and assimilating all the lightning power that had invaded his body.
The number of Thunder Essence, which was already growing rapidly, is now skyrocketing like a rocket.
At the same time, the system interface silently unfolded in the mind's eye.
[Devour] activated.
The proud golden lightning essence at the bottom of the pool began to tremble, then transformed into a torrent of pure energy, which was forcibly drawn into Chen Yi's body.
But this is not enough.
Chen Yi's eyes became one black and one white, and his Yin-Yang divine sense suddenly erupted, perfectly combining with his Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye.
His soul seemed to break free from the constraints of his physical body, rising into the sky and resonating with the thunderous laws of heaven and earth.
He is "seeing", "learning", and "carving".
He disassembled the core runes at the top of the cave that attracted the essence of heaven and earth's thunder spirits, and then used his divine sense as a pen and the essence as ink to inscribe them into his own natal thunder rune, stroke by stroke.
This was his greatest ambition for this trip.
Replenishing the essence of thunder and enhancing the origin of golden thunder are merely incidental.
The true transformation comes from mastering the core lightning-summoning runes of the Thunder Peak, integrating them into one's destiny, and embedding them into one's very being.
If successful, Chen Yi will become a living, human lightning rod as he walks the world.
No matter where he is, as long as there is thunder in the sky, he can subtly guide and refine it, allowing his own thunder spirit essence to be enhanced at all times.
Lightning attraction, lightning release, and lightning control are all complementary and indispensable.
Combined with the spatial power of the lightning talisman and the indestructible nature of the golden crystal origin.
Thunder Spirit governs destruction, Space Spirit governs transformation, and Golden Crystal Spirit governs immortality.
The fundamental framework of the trinity has taken shape in Chen Yi's mind.
Using this as a foundation to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, his physical energy level will become incredibly solid.
This is the scene that Xuan Yin Fairy saw when she stepped into the cave.
The young male cultivator sat cross-legged in the center of the boiling thunder pool, surrounded by lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth.
The fourth-grade high-level lightning spirit power, which was enough to make even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators retreat, was as docile as flowing water beside him.
Even the golden lightning source below, which had reached the peak of the fourth rank, seemed to be gradually devoured and refined by him.
Xuan Yin Fairy's pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart skipped a beat.
This kid's lightning essence level—
It's probably much higher than she previously estimated, and may even have reached a level that her own primordial demonic flames crave.
If that's the case—
