Shen Yuan’s lips curled into a tired yet excited smile. “This…this is truly what I needed to become even more absurd.”
[Hehe, you asked me about a cloning physique, and this was the best condensing your situation. But the only downside is you won’t be able to use its main ability for quite some time.]
Shen Yuan’s smile turned gentle upon hearing her words. “Thanks for the consideration.”
[Don’t mention it. But you should really rest now, tribulation lightning is running rampant in your body.]
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow before looking inside his body to see Tribulation Lightning running rampant through his meridians and body.
“Tsk, this is troublesome.” He muttered with frowned brows while looking inside his body.
[You can try to use your Physiques to remove the Tribulation Lightning.]
Shen Yuan nodded his head hearing her words, he closed his eyes and focused inward, his consciousness diving into his chaotic meridians.
The rampaging Tribulation Lightning coursed through his body like wild serpents, wreaking havoc on his already injured body.
His brows furrowed as he assessed the situation, the crackling lightning stubbornly resisting his attempts to subdue it.
[Try to do it with your Physiques, Yuan’er,]
Yue Lan’s voice echoed gently in his mind.
[They should be able to help you without issue.]
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuan activated his Primal Harmony Physique, feeling its calming presence spread throughout his body.
The chaotic lightning began to stabilize ever so slowly, the energy losing its edge under the influence of the physique’s balancing nature.
Next, he utilized his False Chaos Physique, its unique ability to absorb and break down chaotic energies coming to life.
The Tribulation Lightning resisted, surging with renewed vigor, but the physique began dismantling the wild energy into smaller, more manageable streams.
His Purity Physique activated in tandem with the others, refining the broken-down lightning into a purer, less volatile form.
Shen Yuan’s meridians, though battered, welcomed the purer energy, the strain on his body lessening bit by bit.
Finally, the Chaotic Vessel Physique came into play, gathering and channeling the tamed lightning toward his fifth dantian—the Thunder Dantian, where his Thunder God Codex resided.
The dantian pulsed with power, its core surrounded by the rune that symbolized the codex’s mastery over thunder.
As the Tribulation Lightning entered the Thunder Dantian, the rune began to react violently, glowing brighter and pulsating with a rhythm that resonated with the raw energy being poured into it.
The moment the first stream of Tribulation Lightning touched the rune, a dramatic change occurred.
The rune absorbed the energy greedily, its intricate lines glowing with a golden hue. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Shen Yuan felt a surge of power rippling through his Thunder Dantian, the codex adapting and evolving before his very eyes.
The Tribulation Lightning began mutating the Thunder God Codex, its immense energy merging with the rune’s essence.
The codex, once a powerful Sovereign grade technique, started radiating an overwhelming aura that seemed alive, as though it had ascended to a new realm of strength.
[Your codex… it’s mutating,]
Yue Lan observed while curiously commenting.
[The Tribulation Lightning is fusing with it, enhancing its strength far beyond what it was originally capable of. It might reach Ancient Grade.]
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth as the mutation reached its peak, his entire Thunder Dantian glowing like a miniature thunderstorm.
The rune expanded and reshaped, adding new layers of complexity to its design. The lighting within the dantian slowly calmed down, now fully integrated into the codex’s new and improved rune.
The mutation was completed with a resounding crack of thunder echoing through his consciousness.
Shen Yuan’s body trembled, the strain of the process leaving him gasping for air, but the aura emanating from his Thunder Dantian was unmistakably more potent than ever before.
[It’s done, Yuan’er,]
Yue Lan said, her voice filled with relief.
[Your Thunder God Codex… it’s no longer just at the Sovereign Grade technique. It has ascended to Ancient Grade.]
Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile forming on his lips. “Tribulation Lightning…truly incredible.” He murmured, his voice laced with exhaustion yet tinged with excitement.
“The codex has ascended… a true Thunder Ancestral God Codex.” His eyes shined brightly as he softly said the name.
[That’s a fitting name,]
Yue Lan agreed, her voice returning back to her usual playful and lazy tone.
[But now you should rest now. This mutation pushed your already battered body even further. Now your body truly needs time to heal and adapt to its new changes.]
“Why do I feel some soothing energy inside of my Sea of Consciousness? It feels as if something is nourishing it perpetually?” He tilted his head and asked.
[Oh, you forgot about it? Well, it’s not a surprise seeing how many things you have gone through and it’s not been in use. But rest for now, we can explore it later.]
Shen Yuan nodded weakly, the faint shimmering lighting Qi fading from the room as he closed his eyes and sank into the softness of the bed.
…
An uneventful week passed quietly in the serene surroundings of the Radiant Heart Peak around his courtyard.
Shen Yuan’s courtyard remained undisturbed with the help of the layers of protective formations set up by Yue Xian and the order to not disturb Shen Yuan by Mei Hua.
The ambient Qi within the Radiant Heart Peak filled his courtyard, nurturing Shen Yuan’s exhausted Dantians as he recuperated.
Inside his room, Shen Yuan lay motionless on the bed with a steady breath. The violent Tribulation Lightning that had ravaged his body had only helped to further strengthen his physical body.
[Wake up, Yuan’er.]
Yue Lan’s soft voice echoed in his mind, breaking the long silence.
Shen Yuan’s eyes fluttered open, his gaze sharp despite the lingering exhaustion in his body.
He exhaled slowly, feeling his body brimming with energy due to his new cultivation base. Every fiber of his being felt stronger, more refined.
“How long has it been?” he asked aloud, his voice soft.
[Exactly a week,]
Yue Lan replied, her tone light.
[Your body was quite badly injured and exhausted. But at least with this week-long rest, your body is in a much more stable condition.]
Shen Yuan sat up slowly, wincing slightly as he felt his body aching. “I feel…different. The Tribulation Lightning did more than just mutate the codex. It even improved my Thunder intent to the third level.”
[That’s to be expected,]
Yue Lan said.
[The integration of such a potent energy source doesn’t just affect your Dantian. If your physiques hadn’t disintegrated the Tribulation Lightning so fast, there was a chance for you to get a new Physique, but that chance was so minuscule that it wasn’t even in 0.001%.]
Shen Yuan’s eyes shined as he heard her words, crazy ideas began forming one by one as he thought about the possibilities.
[Don’t get any crazy ideas right now, you are still recovering. If you strain yourself too much, your body might break.]
