Chapter 741: Simple And Bold

If they hadn’t annihilated the Fuxi Celestial Race, the cultivation technique for the Pure Yang mortal body would’ve continued to be passed down in the heritage of world cultivation.

But as the evil presences destroyed the Fuxi Clan, the extreme state was lost and no Qi Practitioner in the 3,000 Six Paths World could cultivate it.

Perhaps, it still exists somewhere in the corner of this universe, but those who knew about it kept a secret of it.

Just seconds later, Zhong Yue calmed himself and thought. There were many ancient figures that were reincarnated into the Fuxi Clan, they stole the Fuxi Clan’s cultivation heritage and corrupted the race from within.

Among the cultivation techniques that were leaked, the Pure Yang mortal body would definitely be part of it.

As for why even when the cultivation technique was stolen yet the extreme state still ceased to be known by the 3,000 Six Paths World, it would probably be that those who stole it from the Fuxi Clan chose to keep it only for themselves.

Maybe, there are some Qi Practitioners that have cultivated the Pure Yang mortal body in the Zi Wei Galaxy.

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes as he mumbled, “The evil presences that have been reincarnated into the Fuxi Clan will not remain lingering in the 3,000 Six Paths World after the clan’s annihilation. They are now most probably powerful figures in the Zi Wei Imperial Star with boundless power. If there are any Qi Practitioners who’ve achieved the Pure Yang mortal body, it would most probably be the descendants of the Fuxi’s enemies!”

After that, he continued to study the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was an ancient cultivation technique created by the third Sui Sovereign and it was much more simple and bold than the cultivation techniques of the later eras.

In Zhong Yue’s eyes, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was far inferior to the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] in terms of profundity and depth.

The [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was so detailed that it contained the complex time totem patterns and space totem patterns. Either one of the totem patterns was incredibly difficult to fully comprehend.

Even until now, Zhong Yue still hadn’t fully grasped the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].

Whereas the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was just like the culture of the Fire Order Era. It was simple and bold, to be wielded with sheer strength and cast without restraint like the burning fire!

The whole cultivation technique could be sum up in just one word—devour!

Taking the mortal body as a furnace and swallowing all of the lightning into the stomach. Then the stomach would break the lightning down into energies that would strengthen the body and Yuan Shen while also smiting the impurities in him away.

To the third Sui Sovereign whose blood flowing in his veins belonging to the innate blood of two innate gods, he didn’t need any finely tuned cultivation technique to unleash his power. In fact, a simple and bold cultivation technique would better serve him in unleashing the immense energy in him.

The Fuxi Clan’s bloodline was still a line weaker than the Sui Sovereign’s; thus, they had to come out with cultivation techniques that were more exquisite, making the Sui Sovereigns’ cultivation techniques look simple and crude.

But of course, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] only appeared to be simple and crude when it was placed side by side to the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. Otherwise, it was in fact, still a level more complicated than the innate demon god Bo Xun’s [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].

However, Zhong Yue had the experience of cultivating the [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art], allowing him to attain the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] with much greater ease than he thought. Despite that, it still took him three months to barely grasp the surface of the cultivation technique.

Zhong Yue quietly visualized himself as a huge furnace that could smite all elements, that he could contain the world in him as he cast the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture].

When he started visualizing, countless totem patterns surged out and flowed back into his mortal body. In his visualization, his body had turned into a huge space enclosed by walls formed from the totem patterns.

With a change of thought, his Yuan Shen turned into roaring flames that burned sky-high in the space within his body, purifying the totem patterns and strengthening the walls stronger!

Another two months flashed by, and Zhong Yue was finally able to forge his mortal body to a durable state that he was comfortable with. Now it really felt like a burning furnace was in his body, emanating terrifyingly strong power!

The energy in him was on the verge of exploding, it was so strong that if it could be launched out as a skill, it would boost the skill’s power ten times stronger!

But although Xin Huo was playful and erratic, he still had some principles he held on firmly. Such as when Xin Huo only deemed Zhong Yue as half an inheritor, he only imparted Zhong Yue with the cultivation technique without the compatible skills to channel the energy.

Without compatible skills, Zhong Yue wouldn’t be able to release the abundant power in his body.

If only I was taught the accompanying skills of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], I’d be able to unleash unimaginable power! But even the cultivation technique alone is satisfactory enough.

Zhong Yue stood up, he inhaled deeply and sucked the lightning into his stomach!

“Brat Yue, don’t swallow more than you can chew.” Xin Huo insouciantly prompted from the side.

Krong—

Zhong Yue’s face changed dramatically when the lightning rushed into his stomach. The mortal body he thought was now durable enough to withstand the pressure almost instantly caved in!

It happened even before he could work on the lightning in his stomach and the impact left his internal organs full of cracks and on the verge of breaking apart. Zhong Yue instantly opened his mouth and ejected the lightning out from his stomach.

“You haven’t even attained the quintessence of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] and you want to be successful?”

Xin Huo laughed, “You are yet to achieve the level of simple and bold. Take it slowly, no hurry.”

Zhong Yue calmed himself and cast his arcane energy to remedy the wounds in his body. A few days later, he has stepped into the Lei Zhe again.

At the instant he laid his foot on the ground, countless lightning filled his vision as they struck over at his face. Zhong Yue cast the [Yin Yang Celestial Demon Style] and warded off the incoming lightning strikes.

This time, he was much more careful. He didn’t try to engulf a group of lightning anymore but started by only taking one at a time.

The lightning here contained incredible power, much stronger than the ones in the Pure Yang lightning zone. With his current strength, he would most probably be able to reach to the 60h level in the Pure Yang lightning zone. But here in the Ancient Lei Zhe, he could only barely protect himself from the dying in the sea of lightning.

Kacha—

All of a sudden, a flash of lightning broke through the defense of his [Yin Yang Celestial Demon Style], and made a small crack on the [Tai Chi Art].

As the lightning struck at him, his mortal body and Yuan Shen shuddered in shocking pain while black smoke rose from his scorched body.

“Careful! The lightning that just struck you contained the innate energy!” Xin Huo said.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Zhong Yue blurted out a mouth of black smoke as he whined.

But a bigger problem came right after as when the lightning struck on him, the shock pulse delayed his response for a split second and that opened up the opportunity for the other lighting to break through the [Tai Chi Art] of his [Yin Yang Celestial Demon Style] and lunged toward him.

Zhong Yue rapidly reached his hands to the waist where blinding light rays formed into a saber which he then clenched firmly on. The Innate Tai Yang Qi was fused into with the saber as the [Sun Burst] was cast on the incoming lightning.

Blinding the world for a split second in its radiance, the [Sun Burst] splintered the lightning and greatly reduced their power.

But even so, Zhong Yue let out a deep groan as the lightning splinters still struck on him heavily and pounced him into the sky.

Krong—

He rammed into a lightning-formed mountain which was hovering in mid-air. Despite the mountain being formed from weightless lightning, it was actually heavier than an ordinary mountain and more solid as well.

As a result, the impact force from the mountain left Zhong Yue’s back severely wounded. Moreover, the lightning mountain was pushing him forward while another lightning mountain rammed over and squashed him in the middle.

“Brat Yue, hold on!” Xin Huo encouraged him anxiously, “Don’t die here! You are half an inheritor and if you die in the first level lightning tribulation, you’d be an embarrassment to my name!”

“Xin Huo, you shouldn’t be caring for your name now, but me!”

Blood was trickling out of Zhong Yue’s mouth as wounds opened up all over his body. When he saw a split opening in between the two lightning mountains and acted immediately. The Solar Divine Saber disappeared and the Metamagnet Divine Saber slashed one of the lightning mountains into halves. He then opened his mouth and swallowed the halved mountains in.

When the other lightning mountain rammed over again, Zhong Yue swung his head and enlarged it bigger than the mountain as the second lightning mountain was too swallowed into his stomach.

“Can you take two mountains?” Xin Huo didn’t even care to cover up the insincerity when he pretended to care about Zhong Yue’s well-being, “Two lightning mountains are far stronger than the lightning strikes. It’s not gonna be easy to digest them.”

“I’m fine,” Zhong Yue’s face turned beet-red as he tried to contain the lightning mountains in his stomach with all his might.

Thunderous noises thrummed all over in his stomach as the two lightning mountains clashed about in his mortal body and the totem pattern walls in space was seeing cracks all around.

The lightning mountains weren’t just ‘difficult’ to digest, Zhong Yue was struggling to even just suppress them down in his stomach. A single mistake would be all it took for Zhong Yue to lose his stomach!

Zhong Yue cast his Yuan Shen and tried to burn the lightning mountains away. The lightning mountains released a million lightning strikes in retaliation. Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen quickly bowed and with the visions of a million gods appearing behind him, the lightning strikes were splintered into tiny bits whereas the remaining power from the lightning splinters still launched Zhong Yue into the sky and cooked him.

He needed to suppress the two lightning mountains and that left him with only a small amount of arcane energy to wield. In addition to the Innate Tai Yang Qi he had used up to cast the [Sun Burst], he was running out of energy already.

“Careful, another lightning with the innate Qi in it!” Xin Huo quickly shouted as he saw another one coming at them.

A round sun rose above Zhong Yue’s head and the three-taloned Golden Crow flew out of it, lunging at the lightning strike.

Ka—cha—

The lightning was successfully blocked off but at the cost of the three-taloned Golden Crow returning back to his body temporarily incapacitated.

“It’s that strong?” Zhong Yue grit his teeth and stayed focus.

Another ray of lightning flashed through his neck and he suddenly felt himself being lighter. It turned out that he was beheaded and before he could reattach his head back to the neck, another flash of lightning has zipped over at his forehead.

Kacha—

Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen rapidly exited his head in shock and saw his head pulverized into ashes in the next second.

Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen right away rushed back into his body and another head grew out from his neck.

This is just the first level of the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm and it is this powerful already, how did Si Ming even make it through to the end? Zhong Yue lamented as his heart was still pounding in terror from the near-death experience.

Then, he kept switching places in the Ancient Lei Zhe, suffering severe wounds to just heal them moments later, and surviving through several near-death moments. Soon, with more and more lightning he has swallowed and his mortal body grew stronger, he was finally able to secure a place to stand in the Ancient Lei Zhe with lesser wounds that the lightning could inflict anymore.

“So can I be simple and bold now?” Zhong Yue opened his mouth wide and engulfed a hundred flashes of lightning into his stomach. In the space visualized by the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] inside his body, his Yuan Shen released a wave of burning flame and smote the lightning smaller and smaller into energies that flowed into his body and Yuan Shen.

“Xin Huo, how was it?” He asked happily.

“So so.” Xin Huo smiled, “Wait till you can digest the lightning with the Innate Qi. Only then can you claim yourself as a qualified cultivator of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. Else, even if you can make it through the second lightning tribulation, you won’t be able to pass the third as well.”

“What types of lightning are at the second level?” Zhong Yue asked.

“Just one, lightning with the Innate Qi.” Xin Huo answered casually.
