Chapter 476 -284 Silver Corpse_2
Heavenly Thunder targets the body undergoing Corpse Refining as it breaks through its shackles; regardless of how well the body is hidden, it will still attract the attention of the Heavenly Thunder.
Li Yuanba switched from his Corpse Refining state to his human state, which might have been perceived by the heavens and earth as an attempt to conceal his Corpse Refining body, hence the Heavenly Thunder continued to attack the Corpse Refining body in some unknown space.
After switching to his human state, the injuries sustained by his Corpse Refining body were shared by his human state, turning them into bearable injuries.
However, his current appearance was extremely desolate, with cracked skin all over his body and numerous scars internally.
He quickly took out a top-grade healing Spirit Pill, which he had just obtained from Li Shiming, not expecting to use it so soon.
The top-grade healing Spirit Pill was extremely effective; upon consumption, it transformed into a warm flow that entered his body, spread through his meridians, and visibly speeded up the healing of his injuries.
He dared not maintain his human state for long, as he was unsure if the effects of the Heavenly Thunder had completely dissipated or if the promotion of his Silver Corpse was entirely complete.
He immediately switched back to his Corpse Refining state, with the remaining power of the Heavenly Thunder still wreaking havoc, which reassured him somewhat that the promotion of his Silver Corpse had not yet ended.
His Corpse Refining body was still able to endure because it had shared half of the damage with his human body, and the human body had consumed a top-grade healing Spirit Pill, continuously repairing the human state and consequently reducing the wounds on his Silver Corpse.
Li Yuanba observed the damage to the Silver Corpse inflicted by the Heavenly Thunder, ready to switch back to his human state if the damage again became unbearable.
Fortunately, he saw the power of the Heavenly Thunder diminishing; the golden lightning weakened and lost its destructive impact on the Silver Corpse, and the remaining trace of golden light was absorbed by the Corpse Pill.
Li Yuanba, maintaining his Corpse Refining state and having endured the ordeal of the Heavenly Thunder, suffered severe damage all over his body but was extremely excited.
The Corpse Pill was dispersing a strange energy throughout his body, repairing various wounds.
He also discovered that, having endured the Heavenly Thunder, his soul had strengthened by at least twice.
Heavenly Thunder acts as a limitation imposed by heaven and earth on creatures breaking their own shackles, but it is also a form of selection, rewarding those who endure its ordeal.
Like the Corpse Pill that absorbed a trace of golden lightning and greatly increased in spiritedness, and his soul’s enhancement, these are the rewards from heaven and earth for creatures that break through the shackles of life.
Outside the mountain, Elder Yue stared blankly at Ten Thousand Sword Peak, having sensed the Heavenly Thunder.
“Could it be that Li Yuanba has reached the Golden Core Stage?” he wondered, quickly shaking his head to dismiss the thought as impossible.
Li Yuanba had joined the sect only a few years ago, starting at the early-stage Foundation Establishment, and no matter how prodigious, he could not possibly have achieved Golden Core in just a few years.
The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Thunder at night disturbed many cultivators, who flew out to Ten Thousand Sword Peak and saw Elder Yue.
“Elder Yue, has someone achieved Golden Core at Ten Thousand Sword Peak?” a Golden Core elder asked.
“How would I know, I just got here too!” Elder Yue hurriedly shook his head and replied.
An impatient Golden Core Elder cast a Sound Transmission Technique into the formation to inquire about what had happened.
Li Yuanba noticed that many fellow cultivators had arrived outside and knew that this was trouble sparked by the previous Heavenly Thunder.
Several Sound Transmission Techniques dispatched by the formation reached him; aside from the earlier message left by Elder Yue wanting to meet him, all others were inquiries about what had happened.
Li Yuanba thought for a while, ignored these Sound Transmission Techniques, and closed his eyes to rest again.
The Silver Corpse’s physique was extremely robust, and along with the effects of the Corpse Pill, his injuries were healing at a very fast pace.
By the time it was dawn, the cultivators outside, receiving no response, thought of the reclusive nature of Elder Jian and Li Yuanba inside Ten Thousand Sword Peak and lost interest.
Only Elder Yue did not give up; he continued to stand in the air, staring at Ten Thousand Sword Peak, wanting to know what had happened inside as soon as possible.
He faintly felt that the Heavenly Thunder was very likely connected to his unauthorized mobilization of a large amount of Yin Cold Energy into Ten Thousand Sword Peak.
After dawn, Li Yuanba’s Silver Corpse had almost completely recovered from its wounds. He stood up, and with one step, his figure turned ethereal and reappeared dozens of meters away.
Although his speed was not as exaggerated as “Step by Step Lotus,” it was still incomparable to other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The Silver Corpse could be compared to the realm of a Golden Core cultivator, especially among Devil Cultivators, where the Silver Corpse was even considered a primary combat force for many Demon Cultivation Golden Cores.
Although the Corpse Pill inside him was extremely small, the combat prowess demonstrated by the Silver Corpse still made him understand the disparity between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment.
He had a more intuitive understanding of the energy at the Golden Core Stage. Although the energy he felt was Yin Cold Energy, which had a somewhat different nature from that in a human state, the essence of the energy was similar.
His gaze slightly unfocused, various insights arose from deep within his heart. That single step he took gave him substantial feelings about the energy at the Golden Core Stage.
In fact, his human state was still some distance away from breaking through to the Golden Core; he hadn’t even touched the bottleneck between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.
However, with his insights, the path to breakthrough to the Golden Core in his human state had become a broad and unobstructed avenue.
After a long time, his gaze refocused, and he switched back to his human state.
The injuries in his human state had long been healed by top-grade healing Spirit Pills, and he hesitated not at all as if afraid that the insights he had just gained would disappear.
Li Yuanba placed a high-grade Vessel Protecting Pill, high-grade Soul Stabilizing Pill, high-grade Resurrection Pill, and a high-grade Mountain-breaking Pill all in his mouth, ready to swallow them separately when needed.
White lotuses appeared under his feet, his figure vanished in an instant, then reappeared inside the cave mansion, sitting at the exit of the spiritual vein in the Cultivation Room.
Being the only cultivator on Ten Thousand Sword Peak, the entire spiritual vein of Ten Thousand Sword Peak was at his disposal.
His Divine Thought controlled the Formation, directing the Spiritual Energy of Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s spiritual vein towards this exit. He needed a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to break through.
Luckily, the spiritual vein of Ten Thousand Sword Peak was already at the Golden Core Level, and since he was the only one using it, it was absolutely sufficient for his breakthrough.
He swallowed a high-grade Vessel Protecting Pill from his mouth into his belly. He then began to cultivate the “Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique”; Spiritual Energy surged into his body from below.
As if to balance his Taiji Dao Body, the moment he began cultivating the “Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique,” the influx of Spiritual Energy was many times faster than usual.
All the flying swords of Ten Thousand Sword Peak emitted a soft hum. The Sword Intent contained within ten thousand flying swords, via the special Formation of Ten Thousand Sword Peak, converged towards his location.

Spiritual Energy and Sword Intent surged into his body together. Even with the protection from the high-grade Vessel Protecting Pill, he still felt a piercing pain from his meridians due to energy pressing beyond their maximum capacity.
Utilizing the insights he had just gained, he gained a clearer understanding of the energy mixture of Spiritual Energy and Sword Intent inside him, transforming his internal “Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique” into a circuit specially designed for breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The already full Spirit Lake, forcibly inundated with so much Spiritual Power, suddenly broke the balance.
Under his deliberate control, a vortex of Spiritual Power formed within the Spirit Lake, and the surrounding Spiritual Power continuously absorbed the vortex, contracting and converging towards the center.
Just when he felt that his meridians were at their limit, seemingly about to burst at any moment, the high-grade Soul Stabilizing Pill was swallowed into his belly.
The violent Spiritual Power inside his body paused, and his body stopped absorbing the external Spiritual Energy, allowing his meridians to recover.
The Spiritual Power had wreaked havoc in his Spirit Lake, barely maintaining itself as a swirling vortex. If he failed in his breakthrough, he would not even be able to maintain his Foundation Establishment realm.
Of course, at this moment, Li Yuanba was beyond caring about such things. His entire consciousness was invested in the internal part of the Spiritual Power vortex, understanding he was only a fraction away from success.
“The moment has come!” When the Spiritual Power vortex reached a certain level, his consciousness stirred, sensing the arrival of the crucial moment.
