Preparing for Heavenly Lightning Body Refinement!

Even if this dust isn't high-grade, there's plenty of it to fill you up!

Shi Jian then instructed Sun Lin to scrape off all the crystalline powder from the stone pillar, taking as much as possible with him...

Sun Lin accepted the task, only managing a wry smile. He worked efficiently without asking why, simply taking a small spirit-patterned shovel and scraping and scraping.

For three whole days, they scraped through six full Storage Bag...

This young man is exhausted.

"Ancestor, I have discovered something."

On the evening of the fourth day, Sun Lin squatted on the outskirts of the Stone Forest, holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, with a sketch covered with circles and dots spread out in front of him.

Shi Jian lay beside him, his eyelids drooping.

"The lightning strike marks on this stone pillar seem to follow a certain pattern."

Sun Lin pointed to several marked points on the map. "The burn marks on the outer stone pillars are shallower, but they become deeper closer to the center, and they are not evenly distributed."

He then used charcoal to draw several connecting lines on the diagram:

"These deepest-marked stone pillars, when connected, form a kind of trajectory..."

"This junior dares not be certain, but if this trajectory is the main path of the lightning strikes, then during each Lei Bao, the lightning should first strike the outer stone pillars, be guided and converged layer by layer, and finally concentrate on the central area."

Sun Lin paused, then added, "Based on the thickness of the crystals on the surface of the stone pillar, Lei Bao of this scale occur approximately once every two to three months..."

"This coincides with the annual plum rain trade wind cycle of the Clear Wind Mountain Range."

"During this period, there weren't many cultivators entering the mountain, which explains why this place was never famous before. It has certainly been a very fruitful time for us."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian's ears twitched; it happened every two to three months.

Doesn't that mean he only needs to wait a little over two months to personally experience a divine intervention? That's quite interesting...

Are you sure?

"I'm about 70-80% sure, but I can't say for sure. We can give it a try."

Sun Lin always spoke with certainty, so Shi Jian didn't ask any more questions. He had already made up his mind; he would just have to wait two or three months.

He can wait that long!

After that, Shi Jian went nowhere.

During the day, he would lie in his cave abode, practicing breathing exercises and repeatedly drawing and circulating the wisp of lightning power within his body to familiarize himself with its nature.

At night, wander through every corner of the Stone Forest, personally feel the remaining Lightning Spirit energy on each stone pillar, and use your flesh and blood to gradually comprehend and experience it!

After Thunder Leopard's flesh and blood were all consumed, Shi Jian would occasionally eat a small demon to stave off hunger.

He would often go out for a stroll, and if he encountered cultivators in the mountains, he wouldn't mind playing the role of a wild beast hunting prey...

After all, it's full of Spiritual Qi and is extremely nourishing, although the taste is indeed much inferior.

Days passed by, one after another, and Sun Lin didn't rest either. He further compiled the topography of the Stone Forest, the distribution of the stone pillars, and the patterns of lightning strikes into a book...

Three layers of early warning rune arrays were also set up around the stone forest.

The Lord Rat led his dozen or so lesser demons to patrol and keep watch around the Stone Forest, establishing a crude but effective security network.

Everything proceeded smoothly and calmly.

Time passed slowly, and two months and seventeen days later...

On this day, from early morning, the sky was swallowed by thick, leaden-gray clouds, the air pressure dropped sharply, and a scorching smell filled the air, making one's nostrils dry.

Numerous small demons in the stone forest scurried about restlessly, making urgent cries.

Sun Lin glanced at the sky, put away the talisman, and quickly walked to the front of the cave abode:

"Ancestor, they've arrived!"

"The heavenly lightning has been attracted!"

Shi Jian slowly emerged from the cave abode. He stood on a giant rock in the center of the stone forest, gazing up at the vast sky and earth...

At this moment, dark clouds rolled in, pressing down lower and lower.

The wind howled through the stone pillars, producing a sharp, piercing whistle.

"Human Race have a method called Heavenly Lightning Body Refinement."

"I wonder if this heavenly lightning can help me advance further?"

Dark clouds rolled in, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to become disordered and chaotic, but Shi Jian faced this divine might head-on without changing his expression or showing any fear.

Beasts are naturally afraid of thunder, but he insists on wielding the most violent, Savage Wilderness, and primal power in the world!

"Come, let me experience the vastness of heavenly power!"
