Hiss!

Pei Xuanjing, who was busy in his procedure, drew in a sharp breath; he grimaced, looking at the red mark that appeared on his palm. Even after nourishing it with True Qi, it still showed signs similar to burn marks.

“It seems that I have reached the current limit my body can withstand; continuing to increase it would not only fail to strengthen me, but also leave behind problems.” Pei Xuanjing had a sudden realization.

The lightning he had absorbed just now had reached the upper limit his current physique could endure; he couldn’t continue to increase it.

At present, the lightning he could absorb could only support him in strengthening his left hand, or in other words, the bones in his left index finger.

Despite only being able to strengthen one index finger bone—a far cry from what Pei Xuanjing had initially envisioned—he did not feel discouraged or disappointed.

He slowly repeated the process, relishing the ongoing ascend of his palm, focusing his attention and not letting any slack.

He didn’t know how long it had been; half an hour, an hour, or perhaps even two hours. The wind subsided, the rain stopped, and the gloomy sky cleared up again as the thunder dispersed and lightning hid away.

Whew!

Pei Xuanjing took a long breath, expelling the turbid air from his chest.

Cultivation in this manner not only exhausted his spiritual power but also put his True Qi to a great test. Despite Pei Xuanjing’s vigorous True Qi, it was tough to persist for an extended period.

The cessation of the storm came in timely, otherwise, Pei Xuanjing would have a hard time continuing and would need to consume elixirs to replenish his True Qi.

For now, he set aside the notion of checking the result of his recent cultivation and prioritized closing his eyes to recover his True Qi.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, extending his left hand to gaze at his slim and spotless index finger.

A thrill of joy was visible in his eyes, hard to hide.

Pei Xuanjing mobilized his skill, pointed out his index finger, and quickly stabbed at a huge rock beside him!

Thud!

The incredibly hard rock was like tofu for him, penetrated by his index finger , leaving behind a smooth, tidy hole.

“As expected!” Exclaimed Pei Xuanjing.

His hard work just now was not in vain; all the pain was worth it, bringing rewarding results.

Understand that even before refining his bone with thunder power, Pei Xuanjing could easily pierce through a gigantic rock, leaving a hole in it.

However, the hole produced that way due to the collision of brute force was far from smooth and neat, unlike the one he just made, which was as perfect as slicing through iron like mud.

Or take another example, before the refining and strengthening process, he could break a divine weapon with a single finger, but after the strengthening process, he could cut it off.

While these two scenarios might seem to yield the same result, the underlying significances are entirely different.

“Looking at it this way, the future looks promising.” Glimmering lights filled Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.

His experimentation succeeded this time, a great attempt for Pei Xuanjing.

Because this means he had found a path, a potential path to break the shackles and transcend the realm before Heaven and Earth revived.

Without a doubt, this move was unprecedented and unsurpassed.

If this news got out, it would captivate all the strong players in the world of martial arts. It would drive them crazy.

Because, if truly successful, Pei Xuanjing would become the first strong man to break the shackles and transcend after the Tang Dynasty, an unprecedented accomplishment in a thousand years.

He would be a trailblazer, an opener of pathways, a potential teacher for thousands of martial artists!

“The Way of Essence Refinement involves strengthening and tempering one’s body to the point of complete transformation.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

If every inch of your flesh, bones, membranes, organs is improved, your body’S limitations will naturally be broken, entering into a different realm.

This was the Way of Essence Refinement that Pei Xuanjing devised.

“Just today, it took such a long time to successfully refine a single index finger. It is likely to take even more time to proceed, which will be an immense task.” Pei Xuanjing thought.

Compared to the whole body, a single index finger is indeed insignificant. To genuinely refine the entire body, it would probably take a lot of time, getting into the amount calculated in sea quantities.

But soon, he regained his spirit.

While others might require greater opportunities, in his case, he didn’t feel as burdened.

After all, he wasn’t solely relying on time to temper himself He could also use the Life Simulator to aid his cultivation process.

After several simulations of life, Pei Xuanjing had deduced a few general rules.

Namely, in general, problems encountered in the life simulator could be avoided by making proactive choices.

However, if a problem was already afoot, then it would likely continue in the life simulator, and rarely would it disappear due to the butterfly effect.

That is to say, since he has already proven that this method is correct and useful, it is highly likely that it will carry on in the future simulation processes of life.

Hence, in the following days, Pei Xuanjing waited for the thunderstorm weather. He tarried to exploit the power of thunder to reinforce and refine himself while refining the Taoyun from the martial studies that Yu Zhenzi had brought him in the past two years; that alone was enough to initiate another life simulation.

While the wind and rain were continuous and thunder roared.

Pei Xuanjing was seated not far from the Lightning Attraction Device; he had his eyes slightly closed, fully concentrating on the refining process..
