Indestructible Thunder God Body, Achieved

Yunxiao stood frozen in place, her eyes fixed on Lu Changsheng, filled with surprise and doubt.

Had she misheard him?

But as a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, how could she possibly mishear?

At first, she thought Lu Changsheng had asked about the Shangqing Divine Thunder because he wanted to learn this divine ability.

As the signature divine ability of the Jie Sect, the Shangqing Divine Thunder was not something one could casually learn.

One had to reach the True Immortal realm before being qualified to study this divine ability.

But she never expected Lu Changsheng to ask her to strike him with the Shangqing Divine Thunder.

What kind of request was this?

Had her Dao Companion gone mad?

"What are you standing there for? Strike me with the Shangqing Divine Thunder."

Lu Changsheng was already growing impatient.

Originally, he would have had to wait until his next realm breakthrough to fully complete the Lightning Body Tempering and cultivate the Indestructible Thunder God Body.

Now that Yunxiao had arrived, there was naturally no need to wait for that breakthrough.

Seeing Yunxiao still motionless, looking at him as if he were an idiot, Lu Changsheng quickly explained.

"Don't overthink it. I'm cultivating a Body Tempering Divine Ability that requires lightning to temper the body."

"Since you're here, you can help me complete it."

After his explanation, Yunxiao finally understood.

So it was lightning body tempering he needed.

"Understood."

Yunxiao formed a Seal Method, and a bolt of Shangqing Divine Thunder crashed down.

Lu Changsheng took the Shangqing Divine Thunder squarely, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

The tempering effect of this Shangqing Divine Thunder seemed noticeably weaker than Huanglong Zhenren's Jade Purity Divine Thunder.

What was going on? Was Yunxiao weaker than Huanglong Zhenren?

Impossible!

Then why?

As he pondered, Lu Changsheng stood completely still.

This startled Yunxiao.

Had she struck too hard?

She hurried over to Lu Changsheng and asked anxiously.

"How are you?"

"I only used twenty percent of my power with that Shangqing Divine Thunder. You should be fine, right?"

Yunxiao's words made Lu Changsheng suddenly understand.

It wasn't that Yunxiao was weaker than Huanglong Zhenren; rather, she had held back out of concern for his injuries.

Combined with the fact that his Lightning Body Tempering was mostly complete, his Physical Body had developed a certain resistance to lightning.

This was why the tempering effect of this Shangqing Divine Thunder was negligible.

Once he figured it out, Lu Changsheng looked at Yunxiao.

"Twenty percent is too little. You can use more Magic Power."

Yunxiao's face was full of worry.

"Can you withstand it?"

"My Shangqing Divine Thunder isn't something an ordinary Earth Immortal can endure."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

"I'm not an Earth Immortal anymore."

His Heavenly Immortal aura revealed itself.

Yunxiao was stunned.

A breakthrough?!

Perhaps going from Earth Immortal to Heavenly Immortal wasn't a big deal.

But it depended on who it was.

When she left the Three Immortal Island this time, while searching for the location of Lu Changsheng's Cave Mansion, she had also looked into his other affairs.

Lu Changsheng had been stuck at the Earth Immortal realm for quite some time.

After forming a Dao companionship with him, he broke through?

Had his cultivation truly stagnated before because of her?

"Don't waste time. Come on."

Lu Changsheng urged.

Only then did Yunxiao collect her thoughts.

"Then be careful. If you can't bear it, speak up."

With that, the Shangqing Divine Thunder struck again.

This time, the power of the Shangqing Divine Thunder was clearly stronger than before.

Naturally, the effect of body tempering also increased.

Watching the figure "bathing" in the lightning, Yunxiao felt a surge of emotion stirring within her.

So this was how Lu Changsheng's injuries came about.

He didn't actually have to push himself this hard.

Was it because of her?

[Ding, System Prompt. Your Dao Companion Yunxiao's favorability has increased by twenty. Current favorability: fifty (Indifferent)]

Lu Changsheng was taken aback.

This could increase favorability too?

He didn't understand, but it was a good thing.

Better focus on cultivation.

Under the bombardment of the Shangqing Divine Thunder, the progress of Lightning Body Tempering was rising at an astonishing rate.

After about half an hour, Lu Changsheng spoke again.

"Increase the power of the Shangqing Divine Thunder even more."

Yunxiao's delicate brows furrowed tightly.

After several strikes of the Shangqing Divine Thunder, Lu Changsheng's already bloody and mutilated body had become even more gruesome.

"Have you heard the saying, haste makes waste?"

"Your physical body is reaching its limit."

Even with Lightning Body Tempering, there had to be a limit.

But Lu Changsheng just smiled.

"Yet there's another saying: without breaking, there's no establishing."

"I don't have that much time to waste."

Yunxiao looked at Lu Changsheng's resolute face and took a deep breath.

"Understood."

Her Seal Method moved again, and a Shangqing Divine Thunder stronger than before came crashing down.

After this bolt of Shangqing Divine Thunder fell, Lu Changsheng's entire body was blasted into charcoal, devoid of any breath.

Yunxiao's heart trembled. She immediately went to Lu Changsheng's side to check.

When she looked, she began to panic.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's body had no trace of breath whatsoever.

How could she have trusted Lu Changsheng?

And that talk of "without breaking, there's no establishing."

A Heavenly Immortal, trying to break and then establish—how difficult was that?

Just then, a faint Thunderclap Sound suddenly rang out.

Yunxiao was startled.

This sound... it seemed to be coming from inside Lu Changsheng's body?

She saw Lu Changsheng's tightly shut Eyes suddenly snap open. In those deep, profound Eyes, a flash of Lightning Glow flickered and vanished.

Their gazes met, and Yunxiao froze in place.

She was very close to Lu Changsheng. She could even clearly see his eyelashes trembling slightly.

This Dao Companion of hers... was quite handsome.

"Were you worried about me?"

Lu Changsheng's words snapped Yunxiao back to reality.

She quickly stepped back, her eyes darting away evasively.

"You're safe, that's what matters."

"Did you succeed in cultivating that divine ability?"

Yunxiao changed the subject.

Lu Changsheng gave a faint smile. Cracks emerged across his charred physical body.

With a thunderclap sound, the layer of blackened skin peeled off entirely, revealing a robust physique rippling with lightning arcs, brimming with power.

Breaking through after destruction—thanks to the final, formidable Shangqing Divine Thunder from Yunxiao.

Lightning Body Tempering was finally complete.

The Indestructible Thunder God Body divine ability had also been cultivated.

Yunxiao stared at Lu Changsheng, somewhat lost in thought.

When Lu Changsheng first said he was cultivating a Body Tempering Divine Ability and needed Lightning Body Tempering, she hadn't taken it seriously.

After all, what could be so special about a Body Tempering Divine Ability cultivated by an Earth—no, now a Heavenly Immortal?

But now, she realized she was wrong.

The power of that final Shangqing Divine Thunder she unleashed was far beyond what a Severely Injured Heavenly Immortal could withstand.

That Lu Changsheng could break through after destruction wasn't due to the strength of his Physical Body, but to the merit of the divine ability he cultivated.

It was foreseeable that from now on, any lightning-related Mystical Ability or divine art that struck Lu Changsheng would have its power greatly diminished.

The Body Tempering Divine Ability Lu Changsheng cultivated was not as simple as she had imagined.

But where had Lu Changsheng obtained such a technique?

"Enjoying the view?"

Lu Changsheng's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Yunxiao froze, her heartbeat quickening abruptly.

She quickly turned her head away, a blush spreading across her fair neck.

"Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

"Don't be so shy. We're Dao Companions—look all you want."

Lu Changsheng laughed.

"You..."

The corner of Yunxiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Was she being shy?

Then, Lu Changsheng found another Daoist robe and put it on before stepping in front of Yunxiao.

"Now that my divine ability is complete, let's do what Dao Companions are supposed to do."

Yunxiao instantly recalled what Bixiao had said earlier about what Dao Companions were supposed to do.

She took two steps back.

"Your divine ability is done. Bixiao is still waiting for me on Three Immortal Island. I'm heading back first."

With that, Yunxiao fled like she was escaping.

Those intimate acts between Dao Companions—she truly wasn't ready for them yet.

"Remember to go to Golden Ao Island next time to collect your Cultivation Resources."

Her voice came from the air.

Lu Changsheng curled his lips.

This Dao Companion of his was more interesting than he'd imagined.

If it weren't for the need to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible, he would have chased after her.

Next, he would use the Spirit Capturing Pearl and the Xuanling Fruit to cultivate, striving to break through to True Immortal before going to Golden Ao Island to collect resources!
