With Yan Chihuo's accumulated foundation, coupled with his Undying Body, no matter what, he had to attain a pinnacle immortal body during his advancement to the Ascension Stage.
Yet the more perfect an immortal body was, the greater the pain it had to endure.
Just as Yan Chihuo felt that his skin, bones, essence blood, and internal organs had all been renewed, another thunderous boom rang out beside his ears. He steadied himself and saw that the lightning had changed again, all of it drilling into his bones. This was the first step in advancing his immortal body!
Yan Chihuo felt as though countless tiny files were scraping endlessly across every bone in his body, or as though innumerable tiny saws were sawing back and forth. The agony was imaginable.
Using his inner sight technique, Yan Chihuo discovered that after the tribulation lightning's tempering, his bones gave off a gray metallic sheen that gradually spread through all the bones in his body.
When every bone had turned gray, Yan Chihuo thought he had reached the minor accomplishment realm of the immortal body—only for lightning to surge into his bones once more.
Yan Chihuo could not help letting out a roar filled with agony.
Seeing this from afar, Mysterious Jade was startled and asked the middle-aged scholar beside her, "Senior, he'll be all right, won't he?"
The middle-aged scholar said unhurriedly, "No need to worry. With his foundation, it is impossible for anything to go wrong at this stage."
As the lightning spread, Yan Chihuo found his bones beginning to turn silver-gray, while also thickening by a full measure. Once all his bones had become silver-gray, lightning once more surged into them. This time, Yan Chihuo was prepared. He endured the excruciating pain and observed the changes in his bones.
