Chapter 99: Successful Cultivation!
Chapter 99: Successful Cultivation!
Wang Che stood in the center, having placed all his extra belongings in a distant pavilion.
The Magnetic Sword connected to six wires floated opposite Wang Che.
“Zizi…”
The Magnetic Sword emitted a series of sounds.
It was very excited.
Wang Che looked up, gazing at the sky.
The first step of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture—whether it could be successfully cultivated depended on this moment.
Later, the majority of the Heavenly Thunder’s power would be borne by the Magnetic Sword.
He only needed to withstand a small portion.
“Ordinary people, even if they learned of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture, would not dare to do this… In the Cultivation World, to cultivate this Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture, one needed a certain level of cultivation. This method could use Heavenly Thunder to temper the body, making it an excellent entry-level technique for Martial Cultivators.”
“However, it required enduring inhuman pain, which most Martial Cultivators did not dare to attempt lightly.”
Under the Heavenly Thunder, ordinary people naturally could not withstand it.
Even though this method involved dual cultivation, with most of the Heavenly Thunder borne by the sword, Wang Che was no ordinary person.
A mere Heavenly Thunder tempering was nothing to him.
Wang Che had already endured countless types of Heavenly Tribulations.
“If I could successfully cultivate, my body should undergo significant tempering… Even if I haven’t awakened a Martial Soul and cannot cultivate, my body would still be greatly developed!”
“By cultivating the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture and gaining a hint of Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent from the Heavenly Thunder, the true scripture would be considered mastered.”
Sword Intent was a type of artistic conception.
Different artistic conceptions required different conditions to comprehend.
Even without cultivation, one could still comprehend it—it all depended on insight and opportunity.
With Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent, the Magnetic Sword could later attract Heavenly Thunder on its own for cultivation.
Of course, this was only the beginning.
The realm of the sword was very complex.
The most basic was Sword Momentum, a type of imposing manner.
Achieving Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent directly in one go was unlikely.
For the first time, if he could cultivate Heavenly Thunder Sword Momentum, the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture would be considered successfully cultivated.
According to Wang Che’s thoughts, if the Magnetic Sword possessed Heavenly Thunder Sword Momentum, merely releasing its imposing manner during an attack would be enough to intimidate opponents.
Its attacks would also carry the power of Heavenly Thunder.
As for how it would change if it learned Soul Skills, that would only be known after learning them.
Wang Che closed his eyes. The rain poured heavily, and the six slender Lightning Rods on the ground stood unyielding, like sturdy bamboo.
It was coming!
In the sky, blue-purple lightning began to flicker.
Boom!
At that moment, a loud thunderclap was heard.
On such a mountain peak, amidst the wind and rain, the Heavenly Thunder resembled purple Giant Dragons flickering within the cloudy mist.
Wang Che immediately recited the incantation, establishing a mutual connection with the Magnetic Sword.
In an instant, the Mechanical Energy within the Magnetic Sword surged rapidly, and red lightning sparks emanated from its body.
The surrounding magnetic field quickly changed.
The next moment, a pale purple Heavenly Thunder abruptly streaked down from the sky!
It accurately struck one of the Lightning Rods.
The terrifying power of the Heavenly Thunder rapidly traveled along the Lightning Rod to the Magnetic Sword.
“Zizi…!”
The Magnetic Sword suddenly glowed brightly, with pale purple Heavenly Thunder intertwining with the red lightning on its body.
At the same time, Wang Che’s body was also covered in purple Heavenly Thunder currents.
From Green Caterpillar’s position, one could even see Wang Che’s entire skeleton through his body.
Green Caterpillar was startled.
With its current cultivation level, it wasn’t afraid of the Heavenly Thunder.
However, the imposing manner brought by the Heavenly Thunder was enough to intimidate many creatures.
At that moment.
The powerful Heavenly Thunder spread throughout his body, and every inch felt as if it were undergoing intense stimulation.
It was as if he were being torn apart.
“Not bad.”
Wang Che smiled. The current Heavenly Thunder was nothing compared to the Heavenly Tribulations he had experienced—not even a fraction.
But he wasn’t strong now, so the pain was naturally painful. However, with his current willpower and Spiritual Power, he would not lose consciousness.
Nevertheless, the pain was something ordinary people could not endure.
“This is only the first one; the cultivation has just begun.”
Wang Che looked at the Magnetic Sword and could sense that it seemed very active, not feeling any pain at all.
Clearly, one Heavenly Thunder had not reached its limit.
Not long after, another Heavenly Thunder struck down as if silently, suddenly.
When it hit the Lightning Rod, it emitted a deafening roar.
With the second Heavenly Thunder, the pain doubled, and the Magnetic Sword continuously emitted zizi sounds.
Clearly, it was somewhat exceeding its current capacity.
The Heavenly Thunder was no joke.
Even though the current Heavenly Thunder wasn’t very strong.
“Hold on!”
Wang Che remained conscious and stretched out his fingertip to encourage the Magnetic Sword.
After all, it was still a child, possibly even younger than Green Caterpillar.
The Magnetic Sword swayed gently, its tip touching Wang Che’s fingertip as if they could communicate in some peculiar way.
The Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture required a strong connection between the sword master and the sword.
Otherwise, relying solely on the sword to achieve successful cultivation was unlikely.
One, two, three…
One after another, the Heavenly Thunder continued to strike.
Wang Che’s body, which had initially trembled, had now completely collapsed onto the ground.
But, he had not fallen yet.
If he fell, Magnetic Sword would surely fall as well.
His body was far stronger than that of an ordinary person.
His Life Soul Pact with Green Caterpillar had reached a very high level; otherwise, the Research Base would not have given it such a high grade.
So, his physical quality was very strong.
But by the third bolt of Heavenly Thunder, his body could no longer endure.
However, Wang Che’s mind remained clear, and his willpower did not weaken in the slightest.
Magnetic Sword seemed to have reached a certain limit by now.
The Mechanical Energy inside it appeared to be in an extremely active state, as the terrifying force of the Heavenly Thunder swept through its entire form.
During the process of cultivating the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture, every time it withstood a bolt of Heavenly Thunder, its overall strength increased to some extent.
Finally, when the fourth bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck,
Magnetic Sword emitted a long, intense buzzing sound, as if it could endure no more.
At that moment!
A bright red light burst forth from Magnetic Sword’s body, and the faint, thread-like lightning surrounding it rapidly intensified, as if it had absorbed the power of the Heavenly Thunder.
At the same time, a powerful aura, tangible as a solid force, radiated from it in all directions.
It was like a violent Gale, scattering the wind and rain around them.
“It seems it’s working, it succeeded!”
Wang Che’s will solidified, and he recited the spell in his heart, silently commanding, “Cut the wires!”
Magnetic Sword seemed to hear the command and severed the surrounding electrical lines.
The Heavenly Thunder continued to strike down, but with no wires to channel it, the lightning that struck the Lightning Rod was quickly dispersed by the ground.
Magnetic Sword hung in the air, as if entering a special state, completely still.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder from the sky gradually faded.
Wang Che collapsed in a rain puddle, his entire body charred black, with no strength left at all.
Green Caterpillar rushed over quickly from afar, spitting white silk to wrap around Wang Che and swiftly pulling him into the pavilion.
“Ssu wu ssu wu!”
Tears welled up in its eyes as it immediately fed Wang Che the prepared medicine.
“I’m fine,”
Wang Che said, “I just have no strength right now.”
He could naturally sense the changes in his body; the charred skin was due to impurities and blood that had been expelled during the tempering by the Heavenly Thunder.
In just an hour or so, once his strength returned and the scabs on his skin peeled off, not only would he recover fully, but he would also become even stronger.
The prepared medicine was for emergency recovery.
About three hours later, the rain gradually stopped.
Wang Che slowly regained his strength and then scraped off the scabs on his body.
With each scrape, a faint white light shone from his skin.
It took about half an hour to remove all the scabs, after which Wang Che took out a prepared mirror and looked at himself.
“Not bad, my skin looks even better than before.”
Wang Che clenched his fists and could clearly feel a surge of powerful energy.
He was definitely several times stronger than before.
“As expected of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture, the tempering effect is truly remarkable. To have endured such an extreme situation—if my body had been any weaker, I’d probably be on my way to the hospital right now.”
Wang Che nodded slightly.
Since he was cultivating this method together with Magnetic Sword, he had naturally considered many factors.
He also had a clear understanding of his own physical strength.
Moreover, most of the Heavenly Thunder’s power was borne by Magnetic Sword.
He only withstood a small portion of it.
At that moment, Magnetic Sword in the distance was still hovering in mid-air, its body glowing with a red light.
Its size had not changed much, but the red light emanating from its blade was several times stronger than before.
However, it seemed to be in some kind of mystical state and had not fully awakened yet…
