Li Xuanji gradually opened his eyes and looked around a little blankly.

He wasn't sure if what he was seeing was true or not, maybe it was just a beautiful dream.

Under the attack of thunder and lightning, he has long lost the sense of his physical body, and can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion, his spirit is like a lonely boat in the sea, helpless. Under the ravages of that stormy thunder and lightning, he seemed to have spent his long and painful life.

And now he looked at the familiar purple bamboo forest, the dripping rain, the charred soil, and the moist stone platform, and felt so unreal. It's as if I've been reincarnated in this world.

The cool raindrops fell on his body, making him slightly cold, and he unconsciously moved his numb body, and the large and small charred black shells covering his body fell 'bang-la-la'. Only then did he react, it turned out that his body and his five senses had returned.

He wiped all the debris off his body, revealing the white skin inside, with some unnatural red left on it, but it quickly faded and disappeared.

Li Xuanji sat naked on the stone platform in the purple bamboo forest, sitting in the rain.

His clothes had been turned to ashes in the previous power grid, leaving only a quaint Qiankun bag still intact, just as it had been at the beginning, unchanged at all.

He looked at the purple bamboo forest in front of him in a daze.

The originally lush purple bamboo forest has become staggered after this lightning strike, and even has a sparse feeling. Countless purple bamboos were chopped down and scorched in the thunder and lightning, and many more were turned into stumps and leaves. Nearly half of the purple bamboo forest above the entire sword blade has been destroyed, and the feeling of being unkempt, neat and dense bushes from before can no longer be found.

However, relatively speaking, it is a miracle that this purple bamboo forest can still survive most of it under this violent lightning strike. If it were a giant bamboo forest on top of Bamboo Mountain, even if the area was ten times larger than here, I am afraid that it would have been razed to the ground under this continuous lightning strike, and there would be no grass!

Li Xuanji grinned.

He finally knew why there were purple bamboos growing on the Sword Peak, and finally knew why a purple bamboo cane could allow him to compete with the Great Sword and Long Sword in the first place. Because the purple bamboo on this sword peak is the result of being slashed by thunder for countless years! And a purple bamboo cane can compete with sword soldiers because these purple bamboos have experienced I don't know how many times the thunder has been tempered, and they are extremely strong!

It was precisely because of this purple bamboo forest to share the power of thunder that Nangong Xiuyun dared to pack a ticket for him to quench his body with thunder and lightning, wishing him success in breaking through the realm.

Knowing Master's intentions, Li Xuanji felt much more comfortable.

He raised his hands and put them together, and there was a faint arc of electricity jumping between the palms of his hands!

Li Xuanji smiled, this may be a little sequelae left by the Heavenly Thunder Quenching Body.

I felt my body, and a sense of power that I had never felt before, as if my body was made of steel. It turns out that stepping into the mortal realm can really reincarnate the body and reach a point far beyond mortals, so the lifespan will naturally increase a lot. After the tempering of life is worse than death, the life span has been doubled, reaching more than 200 years, and it is quite cost-effective to think about it.

Just as he was about to take out his clothes from the bag and put them on, his eyes were attracted by something else.

I saw that next to the stone platform where he was sitting cross-legged, a pointed thing was slowly arching through the dirt and sand and burrowing out. It turned out to be a tender bamboo shoot!

The bamboo shoots are pointed, but only two fingers thick, and they are tightly wrapped in leaf shells. It is constantly growing under the moisture of the rain, pointing straight to the sky. Li Xuanji raised his head and looked around, only to see that countless small bamboo shoots had risen in the broken purple bamboo forest, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands!

It turned out that with the arrival of the thunderstorm, the purple bamboo forest ushered in not only ruthless destruction, but also a vigorous new life! No wonder the purple bamboo forest has stood on the edge of the sword for countless years, always lush and green, never broken!

Li Xuanji's heart moved, he reached out and held the slow-growing bamboo shoot in front of him in his hand, and skillfully activated the spirit detection finger. In an instant, through the vein of bamboo shoots, a complex network covering dozens of zhang around him appeared in his mind. This network contains all parts of bamboo, including countless bamboo poles, bamboo leaves, bamboo shoots, and underground rhizomes, which is simply a huge bamboo family.

He could clearly feel the state of these bamboos. Some are old, some are new, some are broken, and some are whole. Those newborn bamboo shoots made him feel infinite vitality, and the growth and jointing process of bamboo shoots deeply attracted him, and his whole mind fell into it......

Nangong Xiuyun walked out of the old ancestral hall a little tired. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was a little scattered, his hands had turned yellow and black, and a bamboo fan in his hand seemed to have been burned by fire, and it was almost useless and charred and tattered.

"This damn thunder, it's still so annoying after so many years!"

Nangong Xiuyun nagged down the stone steps and walked into the purple bamboo forest along the path, but a cup of tea appeared in the place where Li Xuanji broke through.

Looking at the pink and white body on the stone platform, Nangong Xiuyun smiled with satisfaction.

"It is worthy of being an apprentice taught by Lao Tzu, and he has done better than I expected! If you don't count those places, how many people in the world can successfully forge their bodies in the heavenly thunder? If you step into the realm of mortal transformation in this way, then I am afraid that there will be few opponents in the realm of mortal transformation in the future." It's really envious of even Lao Tzu!"

He took a few steps forward and was about to wake up Li Xuanji, who had settled his appearance, but paused.

I saw Li Xuanji with his eyes closed, one hand holding on top of a slender bamboo shoot, and there was a faint electric spark flickering between his fingers, but he didn't seem to know it, and the bamboo shoot was still growing slowly. With this strange phenomenon, Li Xuanji's body also began to change!

"This ...... It's ......"

Nangong Xiuyun was stunned!

The thunderclouds above Sword Peak were gradually dissipating, and the gloomy and heavy dark clouds turned into a majestic rain that poured over the entire Sword Peak, and even Zhushan was also nourished a lot.

Many disciples on Zhushan for unknown reasons have long since dispersed, afraid of being drenched in soup. But the head of the sect, Dao Zhen, and the elders did not move even half a step.

The rain in the sky fell one after another, but not a drop hit the clothes of several people, and they all inexplicably changed the direction of the fall halfway and fell somewhere else.

"Is the Thunder Quenching Body over? I don't know what happened to the little junior brother. After so long of thunderstorming, I was a little frightened. I don't know if Uncle Xiao's method is unreliable. If there is an accident......" Feng Zijing said, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

"We can only trust Uncle Xiao's judgment now, let's wait for the result quietly. A middle-aged man said, and the others were silent.

Dao Zhen looked at the top of the Sword Peak in the distance with a somewhat solemn face, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to inform Senior Sister Jin and let her get ready." If something happens to the little junior brother, she may be able to redeem some more mistakes. ”

As soon as Dao Zhen's voice fell, a woman stood up and said, "No need to be informed, Senior Sister Jin has already gone to Jianfeng." ”

Several people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The rain in the sky has gradually stopped. But when Jin Siluan climbed the Sword Peak with great difficulty, her clothes were still all drenched and wet on her body.

It is forbidden to use any magic spells on the Sword Peak, and there is no way to use even a small means to avoid the rain, otherwise she will not be so embarrassed. If it is said that the skills that can still be used on the Sword Peak, I am afraid that it is the spirit exploration finger of Li Xuanji and Nangong Xiuyun's master and apprentice. Because it's not a supernatural power, it's not a spell, it's just a way of using divine consciousness. Although Jin Siluan's cultivation is profound, when she comes to Sword Peak, she is just an ordinary woman with a slightly better physique, and it is not easy to climb the mountain in one go.

After turning a few directions in the purple bamboo forest, she found Nangong Xiuyun's motionless back, and was immediately overjoyed.

"Uncle Junior, I finally found you. How did the little junior brother break through?Did you get hurt?Did you have any accidents?I brought the best elixir in the medicine garden, I hope to help him......"

Jin Siluan stepped forward as she said this, but when she came to Nangong Xiuyun and followed his gaze, what happened on the stone platform made her cover her mouth in shock!

Li Xuanji's mind was all immersed in the growth of Zizhu.

Since learning that strange technique on the jade tablet in the Mausoleum of the Purple Dragon Emperor, his understanding of the Tao has grown deeper, which has made his cultivation of the two fingering techniques of the Soul Finger and the Hundred Flowers Fingering much more sophisticated, and he can now use the Spirit Finger to detect deeper things. When he used his soul finger on the inconspicuous bamboo shoot, he realized that what he said was true.

He is now immersed in the world of Zizhu.

It's like a world that never stops, every part is moving, every place is changing. The old and weak parts are slowly aging and dying, and the new ones are growing and growing! This is a world that is endless, and there is an invisible and intangible rule that governs this world!

Is this the Way?

Li Xuanji had never felt that he could come into contact with this supreme thing so closely. He was incredibly excited, and he wanted to know more. He sees himself as a part of this world, to get close to this world, to integrate into this world, and to try to let the existence of the underworld dominate him.

He has made extra efforts to try again and again to integrate into the laws of this world, and wants to become a part of this world and grow and grow like this world!

I don't know how long it took for him to finally feel the existence of the underworld, and he changed with the changes of the world as he wished, and changed according to the guidance of the underworld. He felt that he was full of vitality that he had never experienced before, that he was growing vigorously, that he was growing as fast as those new lives!

When he finally realized the beauty of that life, he was satisfied with his consciousness and opened his eyes.

What catches my eye is the morning sun, which is slightly dazzling, but it shines warmly on the body.

Under the rising sun, there are two people who are as stupid as wooden chickens!
