Chapter 426: Chapter 254: Thunder Fire Refines the Golden Core in the Abdomen

The night sky was as dark and thick as ink that couldn’t be dispersed.

Deep within the Shanhai Academy, a high tower silently stood, its stone surface rough and old, as though its body was reaching into the clouds.

At the horizon, an arc of lightning slashed through the darkness, and not long after, light rain began to fall lightly.

Crack!

A scarlet lightning bolt struck the high tower, instantly, the special metal tiles seemingly covered in a sunset, with crimson inlaid with golden edges.

In addition, glowing "embroidered balls" rolled to and fro on the tiles.

"Xiao Qin, if it doesn’t work, hurry and come out!" Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan were in the tower, but hadn’t gone into the Thunder Drawing Land.

The two were quite worried, as the youth they valued was too reckless.

Lightning pierced through the night sky, bringing down a large amount of Heavenly Light, accompanied by some unfathomable substances from beyond the world.

After being "filtered" by the special rune-engraved metal tiles, the Heavenly Light and Nine Heavens Pure Qi and other out-worldly substances fell, entering the interior of the tower.

In the quiet room built with rough stone blocks, it was anything but quiet now, Qin Ming was covered by the pouring Heavenly Light, his whole body translucent.

"The Heavenly Light contained in the Summer Thunder is indeed fierce, far more destructive than the Spring Thunder that carries subtle strands of vibrant life energy."

This was Qin Ming’s genuine feeling, no wonder, even those who risk their lives, only choose to venture out during the first Thunder Fire of early spring.

However, he wasn’t Wu Xia A Meng any longer, after reaching the Second Realm, he had greater resilience facing the invasion of Heavenly Light.

He withstood just three waves of Heavenly Light before it dimmed here.

Rainy season, weather is unpredictable.

This was just a shower, brief in duration, soon stopping.

Qin Ming wasn’t in a hurry, he had ample time, planning to eat and stay inside the tower.

Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan rushed in immediately, seeing only his clothes burned through by the Heavenly Light, torn, and skin slightly reddened, their worries eased.

At the same time, they were deeply shocked, as this young man in the Second Realm was undergoing an out-worldly Heavenly Light baptism. If this spread, it would surely cause a great uproar.

"Brother Ming, I heard you were struck by lightning, I’m here to accompany you!" Xiao Wu came, entering the high tower, with a look of astonishment yet also quite excited.

He had always wanted to match Qin Ming, even aligning his realm with his.

"It’s out-worldly Heavenly Light!" Qin Ming corrected, the high tower had filtered out the thunder.

Xiao Wu said, "Pretty much, in many people’s eyes, it has no difference from Thunder Fire, equally terrifying."

Qin Ming was very serious, "You haven’t experienced these, don’t be overly adventurous, first try to approach a little."

This was no joking matter. Back in the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall, limbs were scattered all over the ground, shattered heads, and a potent roasted meat smell filled the air. Many elders wore their funeral clothes going in, it was all a last resort when life was running out.

Wu Yaizu nodded seriously, "I know, if something goes wrong, I’ll immediately withdraw."

Half a day later, yet another wave of lightning fell, spherical lightning appeared on the high tower.

Inside the tower, at the core area, Xiao Wu cried like a ghost, smoke rising from his body, his mouth spitting Heavenly Light, eyes dazed, body stiffened, unable to escape.

He felt he was almost cooked, even started dribbling nonsense from his mouth.

Qin Ming hurriedly threw him out.

Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan were standing outside and rushed forward to help check him.

Xiao Wu only calmed down after a long while, feeling a wave of lingering fear, he said, "At that moment, I seemed to see my great-grandmother."

Though when he was born, almost all the clanspeople had passed away, only a few grandmothers remained by his side, it didn’t prevent him from suspecting that the elderly woman with white hair he saw in his muddled consciousness was the ancestor there to "guide" him on his way.

Xiao Wu was thoroughly convinced, he really couldn’t compare everything to Brother Ming, some aspects were simply not comparable!

"You’re not bad either, taking three waves of Heavenly Light baptism from the Summer Thunder, your body is basically fine." Qin Ming came out.

Once again, this was a shower, only four waves of Heavenly Light fell, too brief for him.

"Indeed it’s already quite remarkable!" Even Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan were amazed.

Xiao Wu shook his head, "Compared to Brother Ming, I’m still far behind, I’m almost cooked."

Then he touched his head and immediately screamed.

Because, his short hair all turned to ash as he touched it, falling down with a rustle, completely bald.

Next, it was still just drizzling rain, along with the occasional falling Thunder Light, far from meeting Qin Ming’s desire for lightning to fall like a waterfall.

During this time, Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan brought some bad news.

It was said that the Ancestor Master conference was still ongoing.

And during this time, an Ancestor Master once vomited blood, unclear whether it was due to old age and frailty, experiencing a great battle and then exacerbating his physical condition, or just pretending.

Outside, many were guessing.

Many believe he was fishing, not truly about to decay.

However, Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan didn’t think so, feeling that some Ancestor Masters might experience rebirth, and some might fail in Nirvana.

"Within the future period, the number of Ancestor Masters might be cut in half!"

This was their pessimistic expectation, if the Ancestor Master daringly takes that step, the rebirth success rate might only be fifty percent.

Qin Ming’s heart suddenly sank, the recent days’ sense of relaxation vanished in an instant, he once again felt a strong sense of crisis.

He asked, "What do the people on the Immortal Road think, won’t they start warring again?"

Zhao Ziyan shook his head, "No, there will be Great Exploration in the future, right now, it’s really not suitable for internal consumption."

Most importantly, several days ago, the Ancestor Masters of the Newborn Road fiercely battled on the Highland, causing the Ancestor Masters on the Immortal Road’s eyes to become clear, they’ve been very rational recently.
