Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 859: Entering the Peak

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Looking at the terrifying fountain of thunder before him, not only was Ling Xian not afraid, his eyes were turning heated.

To him, the stronger the lightning and thunder, the better. As long as it is still within his realm to endure, then nothing is harmful.

Therefore, Ling Xian marched forward and entered the fountain of thunder.

At once, electricity swam like snakes and lightning brightened the space. The entire space was in chaos.

HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!

Thunders boiled as bright electricity roared, they struck Ling Xian endlessly and were close to striking him dead.

However, his physical body was powerful, that plus the Indestructible Physique meant the lightning could only cause him pain, not death.

“Not bad. If I train here for a year or two, then my physical body can breakthrough to the peak of the original level.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips lifted and he revealed a smile. Then, he sat down in a lotus position and began to call out the Indestructible Physique. He borrowed the strength from lightning and thunder to train.

Under this endless amount of thunder and lightning, his training increased exponentially, and he could clearly feel his physical body getting stronger.

Using another example, if the normal speed of cultivation is one, then the elder’s thunder is three, and right now, it is five.

Yes, under the fountain of thunder’s help, Ling Xian’s training speed increased five times!

“Not bad, this trip is worth it.”

Feeling the increase in strength in his physical body, Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He calmed himself down and focused on training.

He held onto his hand seal as a faint gold ray of light expanded above him, making him looking like a Buddha, impossible to offend and extremely holy.

As time went on however, that ray of gold light turned brighter and brighter. Behind his head, it formed into a halo, similar to the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha.

This was the phenomenon for the Temple of Leiyin Technique.

Though the technique Ling Xian practised wasn’t perfect, and was only half complete, it remained a secret technique from the Leiyin temple. Of course it can result in a phenomenon.

This meant he was getting closer and closer to achievement. When that happens, his physical body will enhance to the peak of the original level.

Therefore, even against the strange talents from Tianzhou, he will be able to protect himself.

Just like that, Ling Xian focused on training, he sought after the lightning and thunder from the fountain while summoning the Indestructible Physique.

Time passed on little by little.

He tightly shut his eyes and he focused. As calm as an old monk, he refused to notice anything external and he was fixated on asking to enter the peak.

Under this focused training and under the aid of the lightning, the light Ling Xian emitted was getting more and more intense. His physique was also getting more and more dominating.

Though the incremental increase was not large, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger and stronger!

Of course, as he grew stronger, he also felt pain. He knew though, that if he cannot endure the pain, then what right did he have to seek immortal and the path of endeavors?

Therefore, Ling Xian gritted his teeth. He swallowed the pain and cultivated harshly. Like a determined monk, he refused to move one bit.

In the entire room, other than the sound of lightning clashing, he couldn’t hear anything else anymore.

Luckily there was nobody else there. If they saw him using lightning to train, their eyes would pop out of their heads.

What could they do, that was just far too shocking.

Though this lightning was not like a God’s Trial, its power is not any less than a real God’s Trial. If this was anyone else, even a touch of the lightning would turn them into debris.

Even Heaven’s Favorites from the original level wouldn’t dare to cultivate in such a manner. It was like seeking death!

To Ling Xian however, this was nothing. His physique was already strong, that plus the Indestructible Physique meant he could handle the lightning and thunder.

Just like that, around half a year passed. The immobile Ling Xian whose eyes have been closed for so long finally opened his eyes.

At once, the entire fountain of thunder boiled. The entire space boiled.

HOMMMM!

Lightning after lightning dispersed all around. Like ocean waves, they washed over in all directions and clashed against the space to crazily attack the silhouette in gold.

Yet not a single lightning strike could harm Ling Xian. When they got to just a meter away from him, they would self-degenerate.

This meant, none of the lightning or thunder could hurt him anymore. They even lost their right to touch him!

“Phew...”

After a long exhale, Ling Xian stood up. Like a God of Warrior, his spine straightened and his energy rumbled the entire space.

HOMMM!

After a loud rumble, Ling Xian stood proudly in the fountain like an undying sun. He emitted blinding light rays as he allowed the lightning bolts to strike him. None of them could hurt him.

All because the energy he was unleashing was far too overpowering!

“Half a year of harsh training finally means I have achieved something with the Indestructible Physique. My physical body has now finally entered the peak of the original level!”

Sensing the strength from his physique, the corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up and he revealed an ecstatic smile.

He endure half a year of those lightning strikes. Today, he finally broke through to the peak of the original level. Why wouldn’t he be overjoyed?

His capability, compared to before, also increased by about 10 times. For example, if he fights against the previous ruler of Court again right now, then he doesn’t need the Battle Immortal Bone to kill him!

That is the dominance of the peak of the original level!

This was just his physique. If he successfully metamorphose and have his Qi to also reach the peak, then just how powerful will he be?

“Not bad. I have finally arrived at this point.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He knows now that on this land with so many rare geniuses, he can finally protect himself.

At the same time, he also gained the right to challenge all the talents in Tianzhou.

“I wonder just how powerful those Heaven’s Favorites Ru Yu mentioned are.”

Ling Xian’s eyes were heated. “They better be strong. Or else they will disappoint me.”

Then, his eyes turned even more heated, but very quickly, that emotion disappeared. He knew very clearly that his mission for this trip is to successfully metamorphose.

In other words, the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes is the most important thing.

“Shui Lian Yi had said that the real phoenix legend was well heard of. I think the elder would know it too. I just don’t know where exactly that phoenix disappeared.

Ling Xian was silent for a while before he decided to ask the elder.

Since he had broken through physically, then there was no more need to continue to stay. After all, his physical body was very strong and the lightning here could no longer affect him.

However, just as he was about to leave, the entire fountain suddenly calmed down. The lightning and the thunder all silenced and there was no more atrocious destruction.

This made Ling Xian frown as he didn’t understand what was happening. The next second however, his curiosity turned into ecstasy.

This was all because a water blue gel was starting to appear in the middle of the fountain. It was translucent, pure and untainted. It was emitting an extreme shine.

However, the light was gentle and soft. There was also no indication of destruction.

It was the legendary heavenly treasure, the gel of thunder!
