Chapter 15: Body Tempering And Soul Purification
The soft light of dawn filtered through the windows as Xuan Yu woke up, stretching leisurely. He felt a sense of exhilaration from the previous night's discoveries, but he knew today was going to be pivotal. After freshening up, he walked out into the garden, where Ming Yue was already tending to the plants.
"Good morning," he greeted, his voice gentle.
Ming Yue turned, a warm smile lighting up her face. "Good morning, Xuan Yu. Did you sleep well?"
"Very well, thanks to you," he replied, walking over to help her with the garden. They worked side by side, their movements synchronized, reflecting the harmony between them.
After breakfast, as they sat on the veranda, Xuan Yu decided it was time to share his plans. "Ming Yue, I need to talk to you about something important."
Ming Yue looked up from her cup of tea, her eyes curious. "What is it, Xuan Yu?"
He took a deep breath. "I want to use the White Lightning Heavenly Punishment to temper my body and purify my soul. I also aim to integrate it with my Primordial Qi."
Ming Yue's eyes widened in shock. "What? That's incredibly dangerous, Xuan Yu! The White Lightning Heavenly Punishment is not something to be trifled with."
"I understand your concern, but I've thought this through. The lightning's power is unparalleled. If I can harness it, it will greatly enhance my strength and cultivation."
Ming Yue shook her head, her voice firm. "No, Xuan Yu. I can't let you risk your life like that."
Xuan Yu reached out, taking her hand in his. "Ming Yue, trust me. I know it's risky, but the potential benefits are immense. I promise to be careful."
Ming Yue's resolve began to waver, but she remained hesitant. Xuan Yu leaned closer, his lips brushing against hers in a tender kiss. "Please, Ming Yue," he whispered against her lips.
Ming Yue sighed, her resistance melting away. "Alright, but only on one condition: the Matriarchs must be present. If anything goes wrong, they'll be able to help."
Xuan Yu nodded, smiling. "Agreed."
Later in the morning, when the three Matriarchs arrived, Xuan Yu and Ming Yue greeted them warmly. They all gathered in the garden, sipping tea and enjoying the tranquil ambiance.
Yu Yan, ever perceptive, noticed the serious look on Xuan Yu's face. "You have something to discuss, don't you?" she asked.
Xuan Yu nodded. "Yes, I do. I've decided to use the White Lightning Punishment to temper my body and purify my soul. I also want to integrate it with my Primordial Qi."
The Matriarchs exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of surprise and concern. Ye Ling was the first to speak. "That's a bold and dangerous move, Xuan Yu. Are you sure about this?"
"I am," Xuan Yu affirmed. "And Ming Yue has agreed, but only if you three are present to assist if necessary."
Yin Mei nodded thoughtfully. "Very well. We'll be there to support you."
With the Matriarchs' agreement, Xuan Yu led them to a secluded part of the garden. "Before we proceed, I need to show you something."
He closed his eyes, focusing on the World of Rebirth. In an instant, the garden around them shimmered and transformed, transporting them to the ethereal realm Xuan Yu had come to know so well.
The Matriarchs looked around in awe. The World of Rebirth was breathtaking, with its lush landscapes, towering mountains, and serene lakes with clear sky. The ominous dark clouds loomed overhead, white lightning crackling and flashing within them atop the mountains.
"This is the World of Rebirth," Xuan Yu explained. "A place where I can cultivate and train without limitations."
Ming Yue added, "He showed it to me shortly after we met. It's a wondrous place, but the current state of the mountains is due to the residual White Lightning Heavenly Punishment."
Flashback :
It was a calm evening when Xuan Yu first brought Ming Yue into the World of Rebirth. They had been walking in the garden when Xuan Yu suddenly stopped and turned to her.
"Ming Yue, there's something I want to show you," he said, his eyes serious yet kind.
Curious, Ming Yue nodded. "Alright, Xuan Yu. Show me."
He took her hand, closing his eyes and focusing his energy. The world around them shimmered, and when Ming Yue opened her eyes again, they stood in a realm of breathtaking beauty.
Ming Yue gasped, looking around in wonder. "Where are we?"
"This is the World of Rebirth," Xuan Yu explained. "It's a place where I can train and cultivate, a world within a world."
They walked through the lush landscapes, the air filled with a sense of serenity and potential. Ming Yue was captivated by the beauty and tranquility of the place.
"It's incredible, Xuan Yu," she whispered. "Thank you for sharing this with me."
End Of Flashback
Back in the present, the Matriarchs were equally impressed by the realm's beauty and potential.
"This place... it's beyond anything I've ever seen," Ye Ling murmured.
Xuan Yu nodded. "Indeed. And it's here that I plan to harness the White Lightning Heavenly Punishment."
The Matriarchs looked at each other, then back at Xuan Yu. Yu Yan spoke first, her tone serious. "We'll support you, Xuan Yu. But know that this is not something to be taken lightly."
Xuan Yu nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your support."
With that, Xuan Yu prepared himself, sitting in the Lotus postion with only his pants on. Ming Yue and the Matriarchs blushed seeing his compact and chiseled muscular body. Then, they moved away and formed a protective circle around him, ready to act any moment.
Xuan Yu took a deep breath, focusing his mind and body. He raised his hands towards the sky, willing the white lightning to descend upon him.
The first bolt of lightning struck him, sending searing pain through his body. Xuan Yu gritted his teeth, and started using the Ancient Dragon Body Tempering Technique to channel the energy through his meridians, letting it temper his body. He felt his muscles tighten and harden under the intense energy, the lightning forcing impurities out of his flesh and bones.
The pain was excruciating, like thousands of needles piercing his skin, but he endured it. His body began to glow faintly, the lightning leaving trails of energy that coursed through him. Every cell in his body was being torn apart and reformed, stronger and more resilient.
As the lightning continued to strike, Xuan Yu's skin started to emit a faint, otherworldly glow. His muscles bulged with newfound strength, and his bones became denser and harder. The process was brutal, but with each bolt, his body became more tempered, akin to a divine weapon being forged in the fires of a celestial forge.
When the next bolt of lightning struck, Xuan Yu shifted his focus to his soul and started using the Ethereal Soul Refinement Technique. He felt the intense energy pierce through his spiritual core, the lightning burning away the remnants of past traumas and impurities.
His mind became a battlefield of memories, with each painful or negative experience surfacing only to be obliterated by the lightning's purifying force. He saw visions of his past life, his triumphs and failures, and let the lightning cleanse them, leaving only clarity and purity behind.
The pain was not just physical but deeply emotional. He felt as if his very essence was being torn apart and remade. The lightning illuminated his soul, revealing every hidden shadow and flaw. Yet, with each strike, those shadows were purged, leaving behind a soul as clear as crystal and as strong as the purest diamond.
The purification process left Xuan Yu feeling lighter, as if a great burden had been lifted from his soul. His spirit was now as refined as his body, capable of withstanding greater trials and reaching higher realms of cultivation.
Xuan realised that even with the White Lightning Heavenly Punishment only 25% purification completed.
Xuan Yu then started the next process of integrating the White Lightning Heavenly Punishment into his Primordial Qi.
