In the back mountain of Kunlun sect, when Shi Jian arrived here, he sat cross-legged in the void in peace and tranquility.

Yuxuzi was also sitting cross-legged in the air, obviously protecting Shi Jian.

At this moment, the energy of the Thunder Spirit could no longer be suppressed in Shi Jian's body. The power of thunder began to emerge without warning, with waves of extremely pure and powerful energy. Shi Jian focused his mind and controlled the energy to flow along the Nine Heavens Devouring Thunder Art, and finally turned into a strong true essence, which dissolved into every part of Shi Jian's body...

As he stared intently, Shi Jian seemed to be able to clearly hear that when the energies were integrated into his body, the countless cells in his body made sounds of longing and joy. The energy of the Thunder Spirit alone was enough to match Shi Jian's entire month of practice!

There is no way to compare the efficiency between the two because there is a real world of difference!

"If we can devour and absorb all the energy in this thunder spirit, it will not be difficult to reach the realm of spiritual transformation!"

With his slightly narrowed eyes, a ray of light was looking at the thunder energy that permeated deep in his dantian. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shi Jian's lips. Then he closed his eyes completely and began to refine and absorb the powerful energy that was surging out of his body at an increasingly faster speed.

In the back mountain of Kunlun Sect, there were thunders. Countless purple thunders like giant pythons were roaring and moving. The sound was overwhelming and all the thunders were moving at the same time. In front of such a spectacular sight, even a Nascent Soul expert would feel insignificant...

In the ocean of purple lightning, there were two whirlpool-like existences. Purple thunders were roaring and lingering, surrounding those two places tightly.

However, no matter how fiercely they attacked, the two areas were like a bottomless pit that could not be filled. No matter how much thunder surged, in the end, it would disappear in a flash of purple light.

While the glutton was tirelessly and madly devouring the power of thunder, his figure was also sitting in the air. Purple arcs of lightning occasionally shot out from his skin, which set off his white shirt and black hair, making him look particularly mysterious.

This kind of devouring is destined to not last long, but fortunately this Thunder Spirit is also a rare thing in the world. After countless years of evolution, the number of thunders in it has reached a very terrifying level. Otherwise, it would probably be swallowed up by Shi Jian, this black hole-like existence, in a short period of time.

The mountain behind Kunlun is a forbidden area, hidden in the vast and endless paradise, with few human traces. Therefore, without being disturbed by anyone, Shi Jian's practice progressed exceptionally smoothly.

During cultivation, time flies by, and it seems like in the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.

During this month, Shi Jian had no idea how much thunder power he had swallowed. That huge and endless swallowing directly caused the number of thunders in the current Thunder Spirit to become much thinner. Of course, after swallowing such a huge amount of thunder power, the benefits Shi Jian gained were also incomparably rich.

After being tempered by many purple thunders for a month, Shi Jian's body seemed even deeper. The black color possessed a strange magic. At first glance, it was like a constantly rotating black hole. Any attack falling on it would be swallowed by the black hole.

A strange black light lingered around Shi Jian's body. From a distance, it looked like a very thin layer of black armor was put on his body. The armor was deep and dark, making Shi Jian look mysterious and strange.

With Shi Jian's current body that is so strong that it can only be described as terrifying, even if he faces a true Divine Transformation cultivator, he can fight him without giving in!
When Shi Jian's body was strengthened to this point, it seemed to have touched a limit. No matter how much thunder power it absorbed, the effect was minimal.

Shi Jian could only shake his head helplessly at this result. After all, it was already a rare thing to be able to strengthen his body to this extent just by refining the Thunder Spirit. As for wanting to strengthen it even more powerfully, it might be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As if he had developed some resistance to thunder, the originally significant improvement became much smaller. As a result, he had to withdraw from his cultivation state.

Shi Jian opened his eyes which had been closed for a month. There was a faint flash of purple lightning in his pupils. When he opened his mouth slightly, a low thunder came out from his throat.

"call!"

A breath with some purple electricity came out of Shi Jian's mouth. He stood up, and bursts of crisp crackling sounds came from his body. He felt a sense of boundless power, as if a giant dragon was lurking in his muscles. As long as he had a thought, the dragon would rise up and burst out with terrible destructive power that would make people's eyes tremble...
“I’m almost able to step into the realm of spiritual transformation!”

Shi Jian slightly sensed the terrifying true energy in his body, then shook his head regretfully. He waved his hand, and two rays of light, one red and one purple, burst out from his dantian!

Originally, Shi Jian thought that this was the limit of the results of his retreat.

But he never expected that the moment he stood up, the thunder ball that had been dormant in his dantian began to release energy like crazy.

During this month, the Lightning Pearl has been continuously absorbing power from the Thunder Spirit. This is the basis for Shi Jian to refine the Thunder Spirit. Otherwise, with his current Nascent Soul peak cultivation, even if he practiced top-level thunder techniques, he would not be able to shake the Thunder Spirit in the slightest and would be exploded by the terrifying energy contained in the Thunder Spirit at any minute.

And now, the thunder beads are rioting, and the energy released is no less than that of refining thunder spirit.

As soon as he stood up, Shi Jian's face turned red, and without the slightest hesitation he sat cross-legged again.

And below, Yuxuzi, who had been guarding Shi Jian for a whole month, was dumbfounded.

He had already made preparations to welcome Shi Jian out of seclusion. He had not managed Kunlun's affairs for the past month. He had been guarding the forbidden area in the back mountain all day long to protect Shi Jian. He was finally about to end these hard days, but he never thought that they would start again...

"Is Shi Jian really that terrifying?

Didn’t you just finish refining the Thunder Spirit?
What is going on here? "

Yuxuzi's face was a little pale. He had not eaten or drunk anything. Although he had not consumed too much energy in guarding the forbidden area in the back mountain for a month, he had suffered considerable psychological damage.

God and earth swear, no matter who has practiced for nearly a thousand years and finally reached the God Transformation Realm and became the headmaster of a top sect, one day a little guy less than a hundred years old breaks through to the God Transformation Realm right in front of you, and he is not from your own sect.

Even as the head of a top sect like himself, he shouldn't even have the thought of being distracted.

Watching Shi Jian's breakthrough in front of him, Yuxuzi just wanted to say that he had seen enough. After all, this world had developed into something he couldn't understand...

In Gu Yue's residence, there was a handsome man standing at the door, but the bruises on his face showed no signs of disappearing until now.

“What happened during this time?
If the master doesn't love me and the sect doesn't care about me, then my Xuantian Sect will become a wild child?"

This person is none other than Xuan Tianzong. Xuan Tianzong is now in his twenties, and is almost the same age as Li Yingqi, but there are subtle differences between the two. Li Yingqi is a guest and a disciple of Shi Jian. As for Xuan Tianzong, as a disciple of Kunlun, Xuan Tianzong has suffered a lot during the time that Li Yingqi came to live in Gu Yue's residence.

Ahem, Li Yingqi didn't have many opportunities to take action. Most of the time, it was Gu Yue, the good master, who took action...

With the creaking sound of the door, this was the Nth time that Li Yingqi wanted to see his master. However, just as he was about to leave, Xuan Tianzong, with a bruised face, once again blocked him at the door without hesitation.

Li Yingqi's eyes were filled with worry, and at this moment he couldn't wait to know about his master's condition.

Xuan Tianzong ignored her and was about to leave the house.

Without waiting for Li Yingqi to step forward, Xuan Tianzong spread out his hands and guarded the gate tightly.

"Miss Li, my master said that you cannot leave now. Senior Shi will definitely not have any accidents. The back mountain of Kunlun is a forbidden area of ​​Kunlun. Ordinary disciples cannot enter it at all. Even my master cannot enter it.

Don't worry, Senior Shi will be able to successfully exit the retreat in no time, so please don't make things difficult for me."

Xuantian Sect also knew that saying this would not have much effect. Li Yingqi was determined to leave. Apart from his master who could persuade him, he had never succeeded once.

It just so happened that today his master needed to deal with sect affairs. Ever since the sect leader Yuxuzi went to the back mountain to protect the sect, the burden of Kunlun fell on Gu Yue. As luck would have it, Gu Yue left in a hurry today and did not give any instructions to Li Yingqi.

In this regard, Xuantian Sect can only rely on itself.

but……

He obviously overestimated himself.

In Li Yingqi's eyes, there was nothing in front of him. He took a step forward, and Xuan Tianzong felt his legs trembling a little, and sweat dripped down his forehead. Even so, he did not give up blocking him.

The true energy in the body surged wildly, and the aura of the early stage of golden elixir filled the yard.

"Miss Li, if you want to leave, my master has told me that even if I am beaten down by you today, I will not retreat even a single step!"

At this moment, Xuan Tianzong finally showed some toughness, as if he had poured out all his past humiliation. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with determination and courage.

In this regard, Li Yingqi just wanted to say that it was all in vain...

"You'd better get out of the way. I want to leave and you can't stop me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yingqi's gaze instantly focused on Xuan Tianzong. The cold look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person, made Xuan Tianzong shiver uncontrollably.

However, Xuantian Sect still did not choose to leave. At this time, Li Yingqi no longer had any concerns and there was no need to say more.

He took a step forward, and the true energy in his body surged out. The aura of the late Jindan stage made people feel depressed, at least that was how Xuantian perceived it at this moment.

"Has he broken through to the late Jindan stage already?"

Xuan Tianzong's face turned extremely pale. The reason why he had the courage to intercept Li Yingqi was that Li Yingqi's cultivation was still in the middle stage of the Golden Core some time ago. He felt that with his talent and ability, even if he was defeated in the end, he could delay for a while.

However, after Li Yingqi released his cultivation aura, Xuantian Sect realized that the chances were even slimmer.

Li Yingqi stepped forward step by step, and Xuan Tianzong was frightened. It was not that he was really determined to go forward, but he just wanted to take advantage of the power of others and scare them. Xuan Tianzong had figured out Li Yingqi's character quite clearly during this period. Apart from his master's words, the other party would listen to him a little, and other people's words were useless.

If I really want to stop him, I will definitely get a beating...

Finally, when Li Yingqi came within three steps of Xuantian Zong, Xuantian Zong quickly dodged to the side.

"Ahem, since Miss Li wants to leave, I will naturally not stop her. Miss Li, please go ahead!"

After he finished speaking, Xuan Tianzong personally opened the door for Li Yingqi.

In response to this, Li Yingqi's expression remained calm. These little tricks were not acceptable. If she wanted to leave, Xuantian Sect had no way to stop her. If she really wanted to try her best to stop her, Li Yingqi would really be able to do it!
However, the moment the door opened, Li Yingqi frowned.

Because what is coming towards us is a lonely moon!

The two looked at each other, and Gu Yue's tired eyes instantly turned into joy. Although it was forced, it was also sincere.

However, Xuan Tianzong in the yard was puzzled. He had opened the door and stopped trying to stop him, so why didn't Li Yingqi leave?
"Miss Li, why aren't you planning to leave yet?
I disobeyed my master's orders and let you go quietly. If my master knew about this, he would beat me to death."

At this moment, Gu Yue, who originally had gentle eyes, suddenly became furious. His disciple was really... Alas!

“Yingqi, don’t worry about your master’s matter. Today, the headmaster sent a message saying that your master has basically refined the Thunder Spirit and could have come out of retreat today. However, it seems that he has reached the critical point of breakthrough and seems to be planning to break through the threshold of the God Transformation Realm in one fell swoop!
This is a good thing. Maybe in a few months, when your master comes out of seclusion, he will already be one of the most powerful gods in the world!
I am not saying nice things to deceive you."

Gu Yue's words were gentle but full of determination. Even though Li Yingqi did not know the actual situation of his master, he knew that Gu Yue's words could not be false and that his master was really making a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, the worries in his heart were finally relieved. He let out a breath, nodded, and returned to the house to continue his retreat.

By the time Li Yingqi's back disappeared, Xuan Tianzong in the yard had already had dilated pupils and a pale face.

Gu Yue entered the courtyard and just looked at his disciple Xuan Tianzong without giving any instructions. He just looked at him quietly with a cold gaze, which made Xuan Tianzong feel like a mouse seeing a cat.
