Wu Shattered Star River

The eighth transformation's technique isn't complex; it teaches cultivators how to absorb lightning.

To traverse this place with one's physical body, one needs to continuously absorb lightning to strengthen oneself. The eighth transformation states that to cross this area, one must absorb sufficient lightning to achieve a qualitative change in the physical body; otherwise, it's simply impossible.

If you rely on techniques or treasures to cross, then you haven't truly cultivated the eighth transformation.

The core of the eighth transformation is to absorb enough lightning to continuously enhance the physical body, achieving a qualitative change.

Jiang Han only spent five days comprehending the eighth transformation's technique. The immortal energy within his body circulated, and he began to operate the technique. As the technique ran, the lightning that constantly assaulted him was rapidly absorbed into his physical body.

The lightning entered his body, gathering together and then, through the technique's transformation, turned into a strange energy that swept through his entire being.

"Hiss, hiss!"

This energy was very overbearing, causing tearing-like pain throughout Jiang Han's body, making him tremble all over.

But he wasn't just in pain; instead, he was overjoyed.

Because this pain represented the rapid improvement of his physical body. He had been practicing body refinement all along, and he knew that the more painful it was, the faster the improvement.

Now that his physical body was so strong, it could still improve so quickly; this Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art was indeed powerful.

"Hiss, hiss!"

After cultivating for a while, a sound of inhaling cold air and painful groans came from the side.

Jiang Han opened his eyes and looked towards Ye Wanqiu, seeing her delicate body trembling and her face full of pain. He quickly flew to her side and asked, "Wanqiu, can you endure it?"

Ye Wanqiu opened her eyes and said with a wry smile, "Even if I can't endure it, I have to. You can't bear this pain for me. If you want to walk the path of body refinement, you must get through it."

"Mm!"

Jiang Han grabbed Ye Wanqiu's hand with some heartache. Ye Wanqiu was right; if you want to walk the path of body refinement, enduring pain is a must. No one can help her unless she gives up the path of body refinement.

Seeing Ye Wanqiu's delicate body trembling non-stop, Jiang Han couldn't help but say, "You are already a Heavenly Emperor. If you take the path of technique cultivation and work hard for hundreds or thousands of years, you might become an existence like the Eternal Night Emperor. Why suffer this torment?"

"Because..."

Ye Wanqiu's eyes became firm. She said, "I want to cultivate both martial arts and techniques, so that the probability of breaking through to the Dao Ancestor Realm will be greater."

"Oh!"

Jiang Han was somewhat moved. He didn't expect Ye Wanqiu's ambition to be so great; her goal was actually to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm?

"Hmph!"

Seeing Jiang Han's expression, Ye Wanqiu proudly raised her head and said, "Don't you believe me? I'm telling you, at the moment of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor, my goal was to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han nodded. Ye Wanqiu said, "Don't worry about me, go cultivate yourself. I can endure it. If I can't endure it anymore, I'll call you, and you can put me in your spatial immortal artifact to rest for a while."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han sat cross-legged on the side. He stood in front, so he could help Ye Wanqiu block some of the lightning dragon's attacks, allowing her to absorb as much as she wanted.

He began to operate the technique with all his might, absorbing lightning to continuously improve his physical body.

He and Ye Wanqiu were both prepared to cultivate here for a while, and when the speed of physical body improvement slowed down, they would walk towards the Endless Lightning Abyss.

Jiang Han's ability to withstand pain was very strong. Although his physical body was in pain, this little bit of pain was nothing to him.

Ye Wanqiu wasn't used to it at first, but slowly she began to adapt. At least her expression wasn't so ugly anymore.

The two cultivated here for half a month, and Jiang Han's physical body improvement speed had already slowed down. Ye Wanqiu absorbed less lightning, and the speed of improvement was still good.

Jiang Han didn't go inside, but patiently waited here.

After waiting another five days, Ye Wanqiu opened her eyes. She glanced at Jiang Han and said, "You don't need to wait for me here. You have been practicing body refinement for many years, and your speed of absorbing lightning is faster than mine. You can't wait for me all the time, right?"

"I'll always wait for you!"

Jiang Han said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's slower. We'll improve together. If I can't see you… I'll feel uneasy!"

"Don't get so sentimental!"

Ye Wanqiu blinked her eyes and said, "If you move me too much, and I want you again, what should I do?"

Jiang Han's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Don't be moved, there's lightning everywhere here, it's too stimulating, I can't handle it!"

"Hehe!"

Ye Wanqiu smiled and didn't continue teasing Jiang Han. The two held hands, strolled in the sea of lightning, and flew forward all the way.

After flying ten thousand miles, the power of the lightning here increased a lot, and the two stopped and continued to cultivate separately.

"At this speed, it will probably take several years to cross the Endless Lightning Abyss!"

Jiang Han secretly calculated. It took half a month to travel ten thousand miles. How big is this place? Although they weren't adapted at first, and the speed was slower, it would still take several years to cross.

Three years, five years, or even ten years?

In such a long time, how will the situation outside change? Will the war break out?

If they are cultivating halfway, and the war breaks out, will they stop cultivating, or continue to stay here?

Jiang Han felt a little melancholy for a while, but he couldn't speed up.

Consuming spiritual herbs and pills had no meaning anymore. After refining too much faith power, the effect of improving the physical body was not obvious. He could only endure it here, and slowly walk towards the inside.

It was safe here, without any living beings. With such powerful lightning, no living being could survive, right?

People below the Emperor level couldn't even get close here. There was nothing here, and Emperors wouldn't run here for no reason.

The further they went inside, the safer they were, unless the Buddha deduced the secrets of heaven, calculated that they were here, and then sent strong people to assassinate them.

However, deducing the secrets of heaven requires paying a price. Besides, he was just an Emperor, and Ye Wanqiu was just an ordinary Heavenly Emperor. How could the Buddha care about them? How could he specially calculate the secrets of heaven and send strong people to assassinate them?

Sure enough!

After the two adapted, the speed of cultivation was much faster than before. In just ten days, both felt that the speed of improvement began to slow down.

The two stopped cultivating and continued to fly forward for ten thousand miles, and then stopped again to cultivate.

The fog sea surged, the lightning dragons roared, the arcs of light flashed, and the roaring sound shook the sky.

The two great powerhouses sat cross-legged in the fog sea and lightning abyss. The lightning swept in from all over the sky, constantly submerging into the bodies of the two, and being quickly absorbed by the two.

The two's physical bodies trembled constantly, and pain always enveloped the two. Jiang Han's ability to withstand pain was strong, and Ye Wanqiu's realm was high, so both could always endure it.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The two kept moving forward, and had already traveled one hundred thousand miles.

Having reached here, the two felt completely safe. Even if a strong person entered the Lightning Abyss, it would be difficult to find them.

Jiang Han no longer worried about the outside affairs. Anyway, if the war broke out, the Heavenly Demon would send him a message. He carried several special jade talismans, and if there was a situation, the Heavenly Demon would crush the jade talismans.

After another ten days, the two continued to fly forward.

"Eh?"

When flying, Ye Wanqiu suddenly stopped, grabbed Jiang Han, and looked to the front left and said, "Jiang Han, there's a situation!"
