Thunderfire refined the Golden Core within

The night sky was pitch black and thick, like ink that couldn't be dissolved.

Deep within the Mountain River Academy, a tall tower stands quietly, its stone surface rough and old, its body seemingly reaching into the clouds.

On the horizon, arcs of electricity ripped through the darkness, and soon a light drizzle began to fall.

Snap!

A crimson bolt of lightning struck the tower, and instantly, the special metal tiles were covered as if by a sunset, with gold edges inlaid in the crimson.

In addition, glowing "hydrangeas" roll around on the tiles.

"Little Qin, if things get too bad, run out of here!" Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan were both inside the tower, but they hadn't entered the lightning-attracting area.

The two were genuinely worried; the boy they valued was too reckless.

Lightning pierced the night sky, bringing down a great deal of Heavenly Light, along with some unpredictable substances from beyond the world.

After being "filtered" by metal tiles engraved with special runes, the Nine Heavens Pure Qi of Heavenly Light and other Extraterrestrial Substance, fall and enter the tower.

The Quiet Room, built of rough stones, was anything but quiet at the moment. Qin Ming was bathed in the cascading Heavenly Light, which made his body feel translucent.

"The Heavenly Light contained within Summer Thunder is indeed violent, even more destructive than Spring Thunder, which contains wisps of vibrant life force."

This was Qin Ming's genuine feeling; no wonder even those who were willing to risk their lives chose only the first Thunderfire adventure in early spring.

However, he was no longer the Wu Xia Amon he once was. After reaching the Second Realm, he was more resistant to the erosion of the Heavenly Light.

It only received three waves of Heavenly Light before it grew dark.

During the rainy season, the weather is unpredictable.

It was just a shower, brief and it stopped quickly.

Qin Ming wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time and planned to live and eat in the tower.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan rushed in immediately. They were relieved to see that his clothes had only been burned and torn by the Heavenly Light and his skin was slightly red.

At the same time, they were deeply shocked. This young man was undergoing the baptism of the Worldly Heavenly Light in his Second Realm. If this were to get out, it would surely cause Xuanran.

"Ming Ge, I heard you're getting struck by lightning, I've come to keep you company." Little Wu arrived, entering the tower with a look of shock, but also quite excitement.

He had always been looking up to Qin Ming, even comparing his cultivation level to Qin Ming's.

"It's the Worldly Heavenly Light!" Qin Ming corrected, the tower filtering out the lightning.

Little Wu said, "Pretty much. In many people's eyes, it's no different from Thunderfire and fire; both are incredibly terrifying."

Qin Ming said seriously, "You haven't experienced these things before, so don't take too many risks. Try it out first."

This is no joke. Back in the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall, the ground was littered with severed limbs and broken heads, and the air was thick with the smell of roasted meat. Many elderly people went in wearing their burial clothes, all out of desperation when they were nearing the end of their lives.

Wu Yaozu nodded solemnly and said, "I know, something's wrong. I'll withdraw immediately."

Half a day later, another wave of lightning struck, and ball lightning appeared on the tower.

Inside the tower, in its core area, Little Wu howled and screamed, its body emitting smoke, spewing Heavenly Light from its mouth, its eyes glazed over, frozen in place, unable to escape even if it wanted to.

He felt he was almost fully cooked, and he started talking nonsense.

Qin Ming quickly threw him out.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan stood guard outside and went forward to check on him.

It took Little Wu a while to recover. A wave of fear washed over her as she said, "At that moment, I felt like I was seeing my great-grandmother."

Although almost all of his clansmen had died when he was born, with only his grandmother by his side, it did not prevent him from suspecting that the white-haired Old Woman he had just seen in his dazed state was an ancestor who had come to "guide" him on his journey.

Little Wu was completely Qi Ingestion. He realized that he couldn't compare himself to Ming Ge in everything; in some aspects, he simply couldn't!

"You're not bad either. You withstood Summer Thunder's three waves of Heavenly Light baptism without any serious injury." Qin Ming stepped forward.

This was another shower, with only four bursts of Heavenly Light falling, which was far too brief for him.

"That's truly remarkable!" Even Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan exclaimed in amazement.

Little Wu shook his head and said, "Compared to Ming Ge, I'm still far behind. I'm practically a novice now."

Then, he touched his head and immediately screamed in agony.

Because, with every touch, his short hair turned to ash and fell down, leaving him completely bald.

What followed was still just a light drizzle and the occasional flash of lightning, far from meeting Qin Ming's longing for a torrential downpour of thunder.

During this time, Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan brought some bad news.

It is said that the Founding Ancestor Assembly is still being held.

During this period, one of the Ancestor coughed up blood. It is unknown whether this was due to old age and physical decline after a major battle, or whether he was faking it.

Many people outside are speculating.

Many of them believed that he was fishing and not actually decaying.

However, Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan did not think so, feeling that some Ancestor would be New Life, while Ancestor would probably fail to achieve Nirvana.

"The number of Ancestor may be halved in the near future!"

This is their pessimistic expectation: if the Ancestor were to risk his life to take that step, the success rate of the New Life would probably only be 50%.

Qin Ming's heart immediately felt heavy. The sense of relaxation he had felt in the past few days vanished in an instant, and he was once again filled with a strong sense of crisis.

He asked, "What do the people of the Immortal Path think? Will they not start another war?"

Zhao Ziyuan shook his head and said, "No, there will be Great Wilderness Expansion in the future, so it's really not a good time for internal strife."

Most importantly, a few days ago, the Ancestor of the New Life Path fought a bloody battle on the plateau, which made the Ancestor of the Immortal Path's Divine Capital clear and he has been very rational lately.

Li Qingyue arrived and, knowing that Qin Ming was using the Heavenly Light to cleanse his physical body, was quite worried. She went into the tower to watch.

"Is this your sister-in-law?" Little Wu was also there, greeting her warmly.

Then, he looked at Qin Ming with a "resentful" expression and said, "Ming Ge, when did you break free of this 'lonely old man's constitution'?"

"Get out of here!"

"Fine, I'm perceptive. I'll move you to a different spot, okay?" He immediately stood up.

Li Qingyue was very generous and calm. Faced with his jokes, she didn't act coy like a typical young girl, nor did she need to explain herself.

Her serene, otherworldly, and composed aura, Near-Immortal, made even Little Wu hesitant to tease her any further.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Li Qingyue asked Qin Ming with concern.

The seeds on the Immortal Path generally begin in the Third Realm, undergoing the initial "Tribulation Crossing" or having their Consciousness Spirit Light baptized by Immortal Fire, thus transforming into Pure Yang.

Qin Ming had just stepped into the Second Realm when he used the Worldly Heavenly Light to thoroughly "Bathe and Wash Marrow," which was truly astonishing.

"It's alright, I can handle it. This may be the most effective way for me to break free from the shackles of the path to New Life and achieve a leap in my life level, unhindered by time."

Li Qingyue understood his feelings. Several Ancestor of the New Life Path were likely to pass away soon, and there was a risk of being suppressed by the Beyond the Mundane and Esoteric Sect in the future.

Moreover, the Great Opening up is just around the corner. At that time, a hundred schools of thought will contend and a thousand sails will compete. If Qin Ming is stuck at the bottom and in distress, how will he compete with the others?

This is a great era. With the rise of the Fa, anything is possible. Many people harbor ambitions and dream of seeking Truth Seeking, transcending the divine, and becoming ancestors!

Li Qingyue informed her, "Jiang Ran should arrive in two days. Even without the <Black White Scripture>, I can obtain the <Eight Sceneries Scripture> from her."

Luo Yao's older sister, the girl in green who received the Great Fortune at Black White Mountain, is named Jiang Ran. She is currently the strongest Near-Immortal Seed the Immortal Land!

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "There's no need to owe her a favor. It's just twelve pages of the Black White Scripture; just give it to her!"

Afterwards, he called Little Wu into the Quiet Room as well, preparing to teach them how to cultivate this extraordinary Cultivation Method.

Before long, both Li Qingyue and Wu Yaozu frowned. The requirements for even beginning to understand this scripture were far too high.

"Heavenly Light, Divine Wisdom, and Consciousness Spirit Light must be mixed together, and moreover, one must cultivate the Four Royals Force." Little Wu sighed helplessly, feeling that he could give up.

"The special Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light should be able to replace the Four Royals Force, and if your Divine Rainbow is strong enough, it can probably replace it as well," Qin Ming said. After all, this was a method from the Immortal Dojo.

He guessed that the orthodox approach should be based primarily on Pure Yang Consciousness, supplemented by Heavenly Light Force.

Li Qingyue pondered and said, "Hmm, this means that the Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light need to reach the level of Four Days Superimposed in order to practice the first twelve pages of the <Black White Scripture>, and the requirements for the later texts will probably be even more outrageous."

The torrent of lightning that Qin Ming had been waiting for finally arrived!

Li Qingyue and Little Wu both left the Quiet Room and watched from outside as the Heavenly Light poured in, enveloping the young man in the room.

"How many layers of Heavenly Light have fallen? More than eighteen waves, right?" Yu Gensheng's face was full of solemnity. There was just too much Heavenly Light being received!

In the Quiet Room, Qin Ming's body was burning hot, like a red-hot iron, making one worry that he would melt.

He has many Extraordinary Art to learn, from the Five Elements Scripture Meaning to the Dragon Snake Scripture, then to the Golden Cicada Scripture and the Undying Butterfly Scripture. Now that he has reached the Second Realm, it is time to upgrade these Cultivation Method.

In the past, during the First Realm, the subsequent chapters were too difficult to practice, but now that's no longer a problem.

In comparison, these are all natural outcomes.

As for his Silk Book Method on silk, it has become part of his very being!

It is obvious that his Heavenly Light Body size is increasing significantly.

"No wonder some people have already mastered the Three Imperial Force in the First Realm, but the upper limit at the Ancestor Realm is only the Six Royal Force, and it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you go further."

At that moment, Qin Ming had a sudden realization.

Just like a child, who may have excellent health when young, but as they grow older and appear taller and larger, their health may not necessarily be better than before. In fact, if they suffer from malnutrition or lack of exercise, they may become sickly.

However, this wasn't a big problem for Qin Ming.

He tempered his body with the Heavenly Light. This violent baptism, as long as he didn't die, would increase his physical strength without causing his Heavenly Light Force to degenerate.

He could clearly feel that his Four Royals Force had improved, but the increase was not as significant as before.

"It seems that fusing different substances and practicing other Extraordinary Art are both very necessary!"

The Starfire Essence and the legendary Star Fiend are both branches of the Heavenly Light. Qin Ming will refine them after leaving this place. Today, he mainly uses the Worldly Heavenly Light to practice his Extraordinary Art.

The Heavenly Light was ablaze with light, and as other mysterious substances from beyond the world fell, they engulfed Qin Ming.

The Extraordinary Art he learned in the First Realm were continuously activated and completely sublimated!

The next choice was naturally very important; his first choice was the * Wither Bloom Scripture), followed by the Heibaikyō (The Black White Scripture).

Because the path leading to the Second Realm mainly relies on these two scriptures as a guide, allowing it to unfold rapidly!

A moment later, Qin Ming underwent an astonishing transformation. His black hair lost its luster, turning completely white, a true manifestation of decay. He seemed to have aged a hundred years in an instant.

If this kind of Heavenly Light Force were to strike an opponent, it would be quite terrifying.

Soon, his body was full of vitality again, thriving and rapidly recovering. His black hair New Life, and his flesh and blood became as clear and lustrous as Divine Glass.

The Wither Bloom Scripture contains the meaning of Death Scripture, and also has an interpretation of Yin and Yang.

Qin Ming had long coveted it for a long time, and recently he not only obtained it but also mastered it here.

After that, he went to practice the Black White Scripture.

In an instant, Black and White Light intertwined and surged around his body, gradually forming an incredibly harmonious Black White Yin Yang Diagram, which was truly astonishing.

Not to mention Qin Ming himself, even the people Quiet Room felt its wonder; this spectacle was quite extraordinary and unusual!

Qin Ming took a deep breath to calm himself. He was certain that the Black White Scripture was more powerful and more suitable for him than the Wither Bloom Scripture, and it should be the first choice scripture at present.

"Yes, at the Early-Second Realm, you can only add two or three new Extraordinary Art. Practicing more than that will cause some discomfort."

This is Qin Ming's realization. It mainly stems from the fact that his earlier Five-Element Extraordinary Art and Dragon Snake Scripture have also advanced in level, requiring him to hone and integrate them.

Qin Ming knew when to stop; he was reserving space for the <Eight Sceneries Scripture>.

He possesses other Extraordinary Art, but it's not suitable for him to practice them now; he needs to reach the second mid-stage before continuing.

After mastering the Black White Scripture, he began to Dragon Tiger Pill Combination, using the meaning of the Silk Scripture to control various methods, and began to integrate them, using them as Great Medicine for internal refining.

Soon after, in the blinding Heavenly Light, a Golden Core core formed within Qin Ming's body, illuminating his entire flesh and blood, and emanating a genuine medicinal fragrance.

This is already so much, even before the integration of the Starfire Essence and Star Fiend, just by internally refining various "Miraculous Pill," that Qin Ming is full of expectations for the future.

At this moment, he clearly felt that his physical condition and the Heavenly Light were improving.

When the torrent of lightning disappeared, he was completely clear-headed, and his Golden Core had been refined to a state of perfection.

"Hiss!" Yu Gensheng gasped in the night mist, saying, "Exactly thirty-six waves of Heavenly Light, each one surging in like a tide. This number is wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyue's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise, and she said, "It's somewhat like the legendary 'Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation ' from ancient times."

With the Lunar New Year approaching, I'd like to update my schedule during this period. I'll try to update daily, as I need to take this opportunity to adjust my schedule. If I'm unable to update on a particular day, I'll let you know in advance.
