Chapter 97: Immortal-Grade Thunder Spirit Root, Nascent Soul Grand Completion

You sat cross-legged on the spot and swallowed a Thunder Spirit Fruit. The energy within the fruit erupted, crashing through every limb and bone in your body.

You circulated your technique with all your strength, absorbing this energy.

Soon, at the position of your Wood Spirit Root, the illusionary shadow of lightning slowly emerged.

You exhausted the entire Thunder Spirit Fruit’s energy, yet you still could not condense this shadow into something solid.

For the sake of this Thunder Spirit Root, you decisively took out the remaining two Thunder Spirit Fruits and swallowed them in one gulp.

Violent energy raged within your body. You circulated your technique, guiding this energy toward the lightning shadow.

The entire process was extremely slow. The slightest carelessness could cause the condensation of the Thunder Spirit Root to fail.

You did not dare be negligent. You threw yourself in body and soul, watching the Thunder Spirit Root gradually solidify.

A month passed. The energy of the Thunder Spirit Fruits within your body vanished, and the Thunder Spirit Root had completely solidified!

You once again circulated the Boundless Longevity Art. With the Thunder Spirit Root, the spiritual power within your body now carried some lightning attributes as well, its destructive power enhanced.

Immediately after, you began circulating the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art. The Heavenly Lightning power hidden within your flesh slowly emerged, all of it rushing toward the position of the Thunder Spirit Root.

After your Thunder Spirit Root absorbed all this Heavenly Lightning power, you could feel the Thunder Spirit Root being strengthened! A wisp of Heavenly Tribulation aura appeared upon your Thunder Spirit Root.

The Thunder Spirit Root began to mutate!

This trace of mutation stirred the three strands of Heavenly Lightning power at your dantian, setting them restless as well.

You sensed it. The Thunder Spirit Root’s craving for these three strands of Heavenly Lightning power. The Thunder Spirit Root wanted to devour them!

You thought it over, then circulated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art to begin drawing out the three strands of Heavenly Lightning power within your body. The power of these three strands was enough to kill you a thousand times over!

Therefore, you were extremely careful. First, you drew out a thousandth of one strand of Heavenly Lightning power. After sensing that the energy contained within was not enough to kill you, you slowly delivered it before the Thunder Spirit Root.

The Thunder Spirit Root absorbed and refined it directly. Once the refinement was complete, the Heavenly Tribulation aura upon the Thunder Spirit Root grew thicker.

After discovering there was no harm, you continued this operation.

Watching the Thunder Spirit Root grow thicker and thicker with Heavenly Tribulation aura, your face revealed a strange expression.

“At this rate, could the Thunder Spirit Root in my body actually control the power of Heavenly Tribulation?”

You clearly remembered that there were still some Heavenly Dao authorities within your body that had not yet been refined. Perhaps among them was an authority related to Heavenly Tribulation.

Half a year later, of the three strands of Heavenly Lightning power within your body, two remained.

Your Thunder Spirit Root had also eaten its fill. An extremely dense Heavenly Tribulation aura emanated from your body.

“Holy shit! Senior, could it be that you’re about to undergo Tribulation Crossing?” Seeing this, Zhao Wusheng, who was guarding you, could not help but ask.

“Mm, Little Nannan doesn’t know either.” Little Nannan looked at you with her big eyes, revealing a look of confusion.

The next moment, the Thunder Spirit Root within your body underwent a complete transformation, and a majestic aura emanated from your body.

The Thunder Spirit Root emerged from your body. In the surrounding void, all the thin spiritual qi converged toward the Thunder Spirit Root.

You hurriedly took out all the spirit stones from your storage ring. The Thunder Spirit Root began madly absorbing the spiritual qi within the spirit stones, continuously growing stronger.

The huge commotion drew the attention of the surrounding Void Creatures. Before you could even give the order, Zhao Wusheng had already raised his spear and begun hunting the Void Creatures that came.

Once the Thunder Spirit Root finished absorbing, a holy aura emanated from within it, making you feel as though you were about to become an immortal.

“An immortal… immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root!!!” Zhao Wusheng, who was battling in the distance, turned back to glance at you and cried out.

“Immortal-grade! I always thought such a thing existed only in legend. I never imagined it was real!”

Having cultivated for so many years, you knew that spirit roots were graded from low to high as: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, supreme-grade, heaven-grade, saint-grade, emperor-grade, god-grade, immortal-grade.

And your Wood Spirit Root belonged to the supreme-grade.

The immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root entered your body. Having absorbed so much energy, it began to feed back into your cultivation.

Your cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to climb, and soon broke through to the seventh layer of Nascent Soul!

The immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root’s feedback was not yet finished. Your cultivation continued to climb.

Eighth layer of Nascent Soul, ninth layer of Nascent Soul… Nascent Soul Consummation!

Having broken through three realms in succession, your foundation was incomparably solid, without the slightest instability.

The immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root finished its feedback. At this moment, you were only one step away from Spirit Transformation!

“I, an Inner Sect disciple of a holy land and a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator, would actually lose to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?” Your cultivation was completely exposed. Zhao Wusheng found it hard to accept.

At this moment, you had no mood to bother with him, only because the immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root that had merged into your body had begun to feed back once again!

“Little Nannan, get away from me, protect yourself!” you roared at Little Nannan not far away, only because the immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root was releasing Heavenly Lightning power.

You could no longer concern yourself with anything else. You circulated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art with all your strength, madly absorbing this Heavenly Lightning power.

What surprised you was that this Heavenly Lightning power released by the immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root was absorbed and refined with extreme smoothness.

Your physical body began to strengthen, and the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art advanced toward the mid fourth layer.

Sensing the vast Heavenly Lightning power within your body, the watching Void Creatures hurriedly retreated. There was no creature that did not fear this power.

Because this power represented destruction and death!

With the help of the immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root, you soon broke through to the mid fourth layer of the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art. Your physical body was already comparable to mid-stage Spirit Transformation.

There was still a large amount of Heavenly Lightning power within your body. The power of your physical body continued to transform.

You knew that with the power of that strand of Heavenly Lightning the Old Village Chief had given you, it could at least raise your physical body to Spirit Transformation Consummation, or even the Return-to-Void realm!

Although it was now absorbed by the immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root, the energy fed back would at least allow your physical body to reach the late-stage Spirit Transformation realm.

You felt the ‘incomparably docile’ Heavenly Lightning power within your body and sighed with deep feeling. This was the smoothest time since you began cultivating!

Every time you refined your body in the past, you had risked death nine times out of ten. How could it ever be as comfortable as now?

After a long while, the Heavenly Lightning power within your body was fully absorbed, and your physical body broke through to late-stage Spirit Transformation!

The immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root completely settled into dormancy within your body, as if overconsumed, lying quiet and motionless.

You moved your body, adapting to your newly broken-through cultivation and your powerful physical body.
