C35 The Star Exquisite Body

"What the hell!"

Jun Ling's face turned pale with fright. The power of the lightning had definitely exceeded his imagination. If it fell on him, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin. He quickly used all of his strength to struggle to get up.

However, the spiritual lotus suddenly emitted a holy light. The light quickly entered Jun Ling's body. Jun Ling was shocked that his body couldn't move at all. Even the Grand Void Vast Firmament Spell seemed to have lost its connection with him at this moment.

"Damn it! How much do you hate me?!"

Jun Ling cursed furiously. He tried his best to break free from the restraints of his body, but it was no different from an ant trying to shake a tree. Jun Ling had completely lost all hope that he would die here just like that.

* Hong Long *

Thunder rumbled above the galaxy. The thunder was like the roar of a ferocious beast. It seemed as if the entire starry sky was affected by the lightning. After which, it was accompanied by a loud sound. The sound of the lightning descending was extremely shocking.

Several lightning bolts descended at the same time. In an instant, the blue light was unleashed, and all the Thunder Light wrapped around Jun Ling. In the blink of an eye, Jun Ling's body was completely charred black, and countless cracks appeared on his skin and flesh. Blood that was as thin as a needle's eye sprayed out, and one could vaguely see the white bones.

Rumble!

The Thunder Light was still continuing. Currently, Jun Ling's body did not have any Yuan energy. The only thing that remained was the Thunder Light that was flowing like a ferocious snake. His Dantian was also filled with countless bolts of lightning. It was as if Jun Ling was in hell right now. He felt the pain of being sliced into a thousand pieces! That kind of pain was deep in his soul, but his consciousness was still conscious.

It was as if he could only endure the pain of his bones being corroded. What was even more hateful was that he couldn't even scream. The Thunder Light kept falling down and ravaging Jun Ling's body. Wisps of black smoke rose into the sky. Jun Ling felt a little heartache when he saw this. This was truly a strike on his own body.

The entire process of the lightning striking down lasted for nearly four hours before the terrifying Thunder Light slowly dissipated. Jun Ling opened his eyes and seemed to have become somewhat numb. This was simply a sin! Being struck by lightning for four hours in a row, how could he reason with this?

Not long after, extreme fatigue surged over. After extreme pain, both his body and mind were exhausted. Slowly closing his eyes, he actually fell asleep. The shocking wounds and scars on his body were still bleeding continuously. At this moment, Jun Ling was already numb.

After he fell asleep, the spiritual lotus above his head suddenly shone brightly. The holy light slowly drifted down from the sky and poured into Jun Ling's body. Soon, countless cracks appeared on his body. At this time, it was slowly recovering. Yuan energy once again appeared in Jun Ling's body. The defensive mechanism of the Grand Void Vast Firmament Spell was triggered, and it started circulating on its own. The process of absorbing all the lightning in ___'s body was extremely slow.

Jun Ling had been sleeping for a long time in the outside world. Two days had passed in the outside world. The rain of stars falling from the Canglan Cloud Tablet was very quiet. Under the rain of stars, a figure was floating in the sky. His body was covered with blood scabs like a thick cocoon. Thunder Light flickered around the cocoon from time to time.

Crack!

An extremely subtle sound was heard, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. The layer of blood scab suddenly began to loosen. It cleanly broke into several pieces. After the blood scab completely fell off, Jun Ling's figure was completely revealed. His skin was as delicate as a baby's. His face had a jade-like luster.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the spiritual lotus floating in the air. Jun Ling suddenly remembered the scene of the lightning striking him. For a moment, his heart was slightly angry as he turned around and sat up. However, just as he was about to curse, he was shocked to find that his body had undergone a tremendous change.

Jun Ling touched his arm with his palm. The skin there was the color of starlight. Furthermore, it looked even more shocking. He tightened his palm and realized that the strength was even more explosive than two days ago. He looked around and came before a huge rock. He gently punched it, and it seemed like there was a lightning snake rolling on his arm.

Boom!

The huge rock shattered with a loud sound. Jun Ling looked at his palm in shock. He said in a daze, "What... What is going on? Why is the power suddenly... so strong?" There was no way for him to explain this phenomenon because he was struck by lightning. From the beginning to the end, he could not figure it out.

The only explanation that he could think of in the past was the lightning from the Spiritual Roots. The purpose of this action was probably to temper his physical body. Compared to when he had just broken through to the Profound Stage Level Nine, his body had indeed undergone a tremendous change. If his body used to be a mortal body, then his current body would be as tough as steel. The gap between them was not small.

"Could it be that I have lightning elemental energy now?"

Jun Ling suddenly thought. After this thought appeared, he could not get rid of it anymore. Immediately, an unrestrainable joy appeared on his face. If he really had lightning affinity... Then he had really profited. The lightning attribute was undoubtedly the fiercest and most overbearing amongst all the Yuan Power of all attributes.

The powerful destructive force was something that all attributes could not match up to. He hurriedly entered his Dantian to take a look. However, what remained in his Dantian was still that lone Fire Lotus Seed. There were no traces of the lightning attribute in his meridians at all.

Circulating Yuan Power to cover his palm, he carefully observed it. However, the result was not as good as he had expected. He did not possess any lightning attribute Yuan Power. In that case, it seemed like the lightning earlier had only helped temper his body a little. Jun Ling thought for a while and felt relieved. Whether it was the lightning attribute or the tempering of his body, they are all spiritual lotus roots or gifts from heaven and earth.

"That's good too. Having such a strong body is better than nothing." Jun Ling thought and laughed. At this moment, Jun Ling's eyes suddenly flashed. He focused his eyes and saw that there were several lightning snakes climbing up. Those lightning snakes were mixed with Thunder Light. They consciously gathered together and finally formed five big and powerful words.

"Astral Exquisite Body!"

Jun Ling was startled as he read out those words. After which, the words formed by the Thunder Light slowly disappeared. When Jun Ling wanted to look again, there was no longer any trace of it. He involuntarily muttered, "Astral Exquisite Body... just what is it?"

After thinking for a long time, he did not have any clues. In the end, Jun Ling did not continue to ponder. No matter what kind of body it was, as long as it could increase his strength, everything would be worth it. He could even hack it a few more times.

Jun Ling didn't continue staying in the Canglan Cloud Monument. There was still one more day before the academy examination began. There wouldn't be any improvement if he continued to cultivate. Fortunately, he would go out and make some preparations. After saying that, he took out a strange stone. It was inscribed with complicated symbols. Jun Ling crushed the stone with his hand. Instantly, the light in all directions shone. With a swoosh, Jun Ling's body disappeared from the Canglan Cloud Tablet.
