235 THE BODY REFINEMENT

When Li Meng entered the altar, he couldn’t help but be shocked. The energy contained within this altar was quite incredible. The first wave of energy which made contact with Li Meng’s body instantly got absorbed. Li Meng didn’t experience this feeling except for when he was cultivating with high-grade elemental oddities.

The last time his body acted his way was within the fire vein.

“Just how pure is this thunder energy?”

“Too pure. I couldn’t help but be thrilled about experiencing this kind of feeling. If I am not wrong, the origin of this thunder energy is quite scary. It is of a higher grade than the fire vein we excavated.”

“How could that be?” Li meng couldn’t help but be shocked. The fire vein was something which helped the artefact rise to the emperor level. It still possesses enough energy for Ti Shen to rush in and grab hold of it.

“The altar itself is an artefact which was refined by a very powerful character. If I am not wrong, the cultivator should at least be a Qi monarch.”

“The source of this energy must be the zone where the natural thunderstorm gathers. It must be a place which is suitable for the cultivation of Qi Monarch and above level character. This altar is directly connected to the source. It filters and dilutes the energy contained within it. It not only lessens the impacts but can also help you to assimilate it.”

“Are you suggesting that it can help me with my body cultivation?”

“I am suggesting that you could do an array of things with this artefact. Thunder energy has quite a few unique properties. While fire energy helps in refining the body, thunder energy is even more beneficial in the road of body cultivation. It not only refines but also cleanses the body’s impurities.”

.....

“How should I proceed with this test?”

“Begin with cleansing your body. Just infuse more and more energy into your body, and it will automatically start. Body cultivation is a very arduous process, and you should always cleanse your body to excrete all the accumulated impurities. These impurities might hinder your future path.”

“Once the cleansing is over, move on with tempering your body. I would ask you to refrain from infusing the energy to open acupoints. Refine your body multiple times. You could also use the energy to temper your bones multiple times.”

“I believe that the barrier you have hit in the 9-thunder body should be because of those impurities. This might be the opportunity the sect master was talking about. Tempering your body multiple times might help improve the situation.”

“Only once you arrive at the perfect state, should you try to use the energy for the other two processes.” The Keeper explanation was quite detailed, but Li Meng listened patiently.

“Which path should I follow? Should I just follow the art provided by the ancestor and use the thunder energy to open acupoints, or should I complete the 9-thunder body first?”

“It’s your choice to make. I can’t hinder with the path you choose to take. I am here just to give you some clues in the path of cultivation. What you do with them is up to you.”

Li Meng felt apprehensive. It looked like he could only leave it up to fate. He sat down and began to absorb the thunder energy along with the other people.

...................

Li Meng was madly absorbing all the energy around him. He was excited to find that the Keeper’s advice actually was working. His body was simply like a bottomless pit, devouring all the absorbed thunder energy.

Although Li meng was immersed in the process, he didn’t realize that the supply of thunder energy was limited and the area around him was becoming devoid of thunder energy. The altar instantly increased the level and amount of thunder energy being infused became more.

“There is someone who is trying to wildly absorb thunder energy. Did they find the actual purpose behind this altar?” The elder above the stage spoke in a low voice.

The altar was designed for the cultivation of younger generations. The thunder energy within the pool was too rampant for low-grade cultivators to cultivate in. The altar was designed to dilute the energy and feed it to the cultivator. Its very motive was to help cultivators to absorb and temper their body with energy.

Li Meng initially felt that the energy was scarce, but suddenly it became abundant once again. He increased his absorption speed instantly. The process repeated itself over and over. The altar was increasing the level of difficulty quite rapidly.

“We are going to see elimination sooner this year. There is someone who madly absorbing the energy within the altar.”

“There is more than one figure. Those with adequate talent are trying to devour as much energy as possible. Those who aren’t able to bear the burden of this energy are soon going to be eliminated.”

It wasn’t after an incense stick of time that Li Meng’s body began to excrete black substances. The cleansing was finally on its way. The thunder energy was becoming more and more powerful, forcing out the impurities of his body. This attracted the attention of a lot of people within the crowd.

“The boy is using the energy here to cleanse his body. Quite a genius. He is sure to be one of the top 100 practitioners.”

Another sound rang in a corner of the altar. The figure sitting there was going through disfigurement and reformation at the same time.

“He is trying to forge his bones with the thunder energy. Quite a devious method. The difficulty is going to rapidly increase from here on.”

True to the elder’s speculation, by the time the second incense stick was about to get finished, hordes of participants couldn’t bear the energy any longer and were directly eliminated.

“Nooo. I don’t want to ...” Another figure was thrown out of the altar. The elders couldn’t help but sigh.

...???...........

Li Meng was engrossed in his own cultivation. It was around the end of two incense sticks that the black substance excretion finally ended.

“I guess this is the time to start the reforging of bones.” He decided to start to absorb a tremendous amount of energy into his body. Once the energy reserve was big enough, he began to infuse it into his bones.

Since he was a body cultivator, the bones began absorbing energy without any change. The thunder energy got more and more rampant. After a long time, the bones finally began to crack.

“Its beginning” Li Meng was apprehensive. This was the most dangerous part of reforging the bones. IF he dared to deviate at the moment, all the bones would be incinerated and he would cease to exist.

The elders who were scanning the altar couldn’t help but look at Li Meng once again.

“He managed to sustain himself through the cleansing process. This is a great seed. He is trying to reforge his bones with thunder energy. Will he be able to succeed?”

“Only time will tell. If the boy can sustain, then this test would prove to be a huge blessing for him.”

Multiple practitioners were being forced out of the altar by rampant thunder energy. Many of them tried to sustain themselves within the test but failed to do so.

“That is Cheng Luo, from the first monastery. He has completed the bone forging and is trying to cleanse a body. If completed, he could be certified to have undergone a metamorphosis.”

“What about the Chu family girl? She too is nearing the completion of bones forging.”

“She is quite slow when compared to some others.” One of the elders spoke up.

“Speed doesn’t certify one’s true talent. The test was always designed to see who could last longer rather than w3ho could utilize the energy rapidly.”

The elders continued to bicker through the process. They were trying to speculate on the possible outcome of this competition.
