The Dragon God of Destruction
The Heavenly Lightning Trials
Immortal Transformation, it was the initial tiers of an immortal cultivator. Although cultivators in the Eternal Realm used Immortal qi, if they had not reached the Eternal level, they would not have been considered Immortal cultivators.
The other reason why it was referred to as an Immortal cultivator, was because they had an extremely long lifespan. For an Immortal Transformation level alone, they would have a lifespan of over 5,000 years. That was why they were called as Immortal cultivators.
The distinctive feature that made cultivators have a long lifespan was, it was because their Spiritual Roots had been developed so as to produce and also absorb Immortal qi. It makes the body evolve, the aging of the cells gets slower, and also the endurance increases dozens of times than at the mortal level.
For the Eternal Transformation Cultivation Level, it was divided into four stages. That is, beginning, middle, end and peak. Each stage will multiply the qi in the body as well as the enlargement of the capacity of the Spiritual Roots storing the Eternal qi. It also made the cultivator's lifespan even longer.
Currently, Jie Yan was in the process of breaking through to the level of Immortal Transformation. Eternal Qi seemed to be absorbed into his body, his body currently looked like a bottomless abyss. Aside from his enormous Spiritual Root capacity to store qi, the bloodline of the Black Dragon of Destruction made the absorption and qi capacity within his body even greater.
Xiao Ziya continued to pay attention to Jie Yan and ignored Xia Yue'er who was trying to break through to the Immortal level as well. Only her self seemed to not worry because from the start, she would never experience any obstacles to breaking through to the Eternal level.
“Jie Yan will definitely break through the intermediate stage Immortal Transformation level when viewed from the Eternal Qi capacity that his Spiritual Root can accommodate. The Spiritual Roots emanating from the Black Dragon Destruction bloodline were indeed extraordinary. While Jie Yan's other bloodline was a little strange, it was fused with Jie Yan's entire body tissue. Because of this, the amount of resources required by Jie Yan to break through each stage and tiers were many times more for the same level of cultivator.” Inner Xiao Ziya.
In less than ten minutes, Jie Yan's body seemed to swell slightly then the radiance of qi and the concept of Jie Yan's body grew more intense.
A black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky right above Jie Yan. Lightning sparks were clearly visible which made Xiao Ziya frown while staring at the scene.
“Heavenly Lightning Fluctuation? It seemed that this was due to both of Jie Yan's bloodlines. Even nature itself did not want him to successfully reach the Eternal level though!” Inner Xiao Ziya. And he knew that Jie Yan had to pass the test in order to reach the Eternal level.
Xiao Ziya understood that Human cultivators would usually face the test of Heavenly Lightning if they reached the high level at the Eternal level. As for Jie Yan, when he wanted to enter the Eternal level alone would have to accept the Heavenly Lightning examination.
Xiao Ziya's gaze was fixed on Xia Yue'er who was still focused on cultivating. He immediately moved to bring Xia Yue'er away because the Heavenly Lightning examination was not something easy. Even if Jie Yan only received the test to break through to the early Immortal level, that Heavenly Lightning could still kill cultivators with cultivation levels two levels higher than the Immortal Transformation level.
The lightning in the black clouds that were in the sky seemed to grow increasingly wild over time. The scene was certainly noticed by the cultivators who were in the city near where Jie Yan had broken through to the Eternal level.
Sword City
Sword City was a small town, a unique city filled with extremely proficient sword-wearing cultivators. Moreover, Sword City was a city built by the Sword Sect located in that world.
It was not just one city created by the Sword Sect, and it was used to capture many genius cultivators within the sword field.
Sword user cultivators were said to be unique cultivators, what else they were deepening in sword arts, instead of focusing on elemental skills.
Even if there were cultivators who did not possess elemental attributes on the Spiritual Roots, if they practiced swordsmanship reached the pinnacle, it was only if they practiced swordsmanship, it was even stronger than element user cultivators even many of them were surpassing bloodline users.
“How is it possible? Are there cultivators who broke through the level of an Immortal King around Sword City?” One of the swordsmen who looked very young, had a unique temperament asked in a very serious tone at this moment.
Some of the sword experts who looked to be of severe age were also thinking the same thing as the scene of Heavenly Lightning had been widely known and only cultivators of a certain level breaking through were able to produce such fluctuations.
Although Sword City was small, there were many things that the place hid. The reason was certainly simple, it was impossible that the extremely famous Sword Sect would build a small town in a place very far from the Sword Sect if it did not have a certain purpose.
“Let's see who the experts are breaking through there!” The Sword City leader immediately deployed many of his subordinates then flew towards where Jie Yan broke through followed by many other sword experts.
Even the existing young cultivators saw the matter instantly move. But he could not fly like other swordsmen because his cultivation level was only the Eternal Transformation level of the late stage.
For cultivators, they would only be able to fly in the Eternal Realm if it reached a certain level of cultivation. And from that, it could be seen that the senior swordsman in Sword City was a pretty powerful expert.
Xiao Ziya who had kept a distance together with Xia Yue'er also put on an ugly expression when tracking down the very many strong cultivators who were approaching.
“Sial! If they have bad intentions on Jie Yan, we will not be able to escape at all!” Inner Xiao Ziya and it was impossible for him to go bring Jie Yan who was in the process of breakthrough as well as wait for the Heavenly Lightning examination.
As the cultivators approached, they saw Jie Yan who was sitting cross-legged with an extremely shocked face as naturally they could track down Jie Yan's cultivation level.
Before they spoke out in disbelief at what they saw, a golden-coloured lightning bolt burst out from the sky.
Blars!
The giant lightning instantly struck Jie Yan.
Jie Yan who sensed all parts of his body felt a tremendous pain, instantly opened his eyes and at that very instant, he instantly broke through the early stage of Immortal Transformation.
“What is this?” Jie Yan who was ignorant of the Heavenly Lightning examination, clenched his hands tightly, moved his teeth as such pain was terrifying.
But, Jie Yan who had originally tried to escape, got the folded message from Xiao Ziya.
“Heavenly Lightning Show?” Jie Yan's inner self while defending then the golden lightning died down. He looked towards the sky with a serious gaze because from what he heard from Xiao Ziya, usually the Heavenly Lightning examination was not just a single shot of lightning.
“Interesting! I can feel the overwhelming power accompanied by the different types of concepts contained within the Golden Lightning earlier!” A certain glint was clearly visible in Jie Yan's eyes as he felt this was an opportunity for him as well.
