Chapter 597 - 597: Unimaginable Cultivation Method

Over an hour later, Zhao Yuan finished his Cultivation.

He sensed that the Bone Woman beside him was undergoing a tremendous change!

He opened his eyes and turned his head to see that the Qi-Containing Jade paste applied to the Bone Woman's body had been completely absorbed by her bones. Not only had the cracks on her bones vanished, but their color had changed drastically as well.

Previously, the Bone Woman's skeleton was a grayish-brown, very dull and dark. But now, her bones were as translucent as jade—truly beautiful!

"What a magnificent set of Jade Bones!" Zhao Yuan's face lit up with joy as he exclaimed in heartfelt admiration, "I never expected you to absorb all the Qi-Containing Jade paste and fuse it so perfectly with your own skeleton, transforming it into Jade Bones! While they might not compare to Immortal Bones or Buddha Bones, they're definitely a top-tier set of bones!"

But soon, his expression turned grave.

He discovered that the Demon Qi within the Bone Woman's body was continuously surging and breaking through its limits! In response, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi began to churn wildly.

Zhao Yuan walked briskly to the window, pulled back the curtains, and glanced up at the sky.

The once-clear sky was now blanketed in dark clouds. The oppressive black clouds roiled, pressing down relentlessly, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure, as if the heavens themselves were about to crush the city.

"Thunder Tribulation!" Zhao Yuan uttered the two words, then immediately turned back to the Bone Woman.

Without a doubt, the Bone Woman had summoned the dark clouds in the sky! With Zhao Yuan's help, she had not only completely healed her injuries but had also evolved her skeleton into Jade Bones, causing her Demon Power to increase dramatically!

And this, in turn, had attracted the Thunder Tribulation!

If the Bone Woman could successfully pass this Crossing the Tribulation, her power would experience a breakthrough, allowing her to ascend to the ranks of a Great Demon! This realm was comparable to a Cultivator at the Innate Realm Serenity Stage! That was a full realm higher than Zhao Yuan's Qi Listening Realm!

'I have to help her pass this Thunder Tribulation.' Zhao Yuan made the decision without hesitation.

An increase in the Bone Woman's power would only benefit him. Besides, unlike human Cultivators, if a Demon failed their Crossing the Tribulation, it wasn't a simple matter of a damaged Cultivation base. It was either death or a grievous injury!

Therefore, no matter what, Zhao Yuan had to help the Bone Woman get through this Thunder Tribulation.

But how were they to overcome the Thunder Tribulation?

Zhao Yuan had no experience in this area, so he could only search for answers on the Information Leaf.

Fortunately, in the "Miscellaneous Studies" section of the Information Leaf, there was a book titled Grass Hall Notes.

Although the author wasn't Wu Peng, he was still a great power who had achieved immortality!

In this book, which read like a collection of essays, this senior had not only recorded his own insights and gains from his Cultivation journey but also many secret histories and interesting anecdotes from the Cultivation Realm.

Among these, it mentioned a remarkable individual who had invented an Array and Secret Technique that could actually use a Thunder Tribulation for Cultivation. Although the book only mentioned the names of the Array and the Secret Technique without providing details, this wasn't a problem for Zhao Yuan.

Or rather, it wasn't a problem for the Information Leaf.

Almost instantly, detailed information on the Array and the Secret Technique appeared on the Information Leaf.

After quickly browsing through it, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "The person who invented this method of using a Thunder Tribulation for Cultivation had a wild imagination! But the most shocking thing is that this method is actually viable!"

If anyone else in the Cultivation Realm heard about using a Thunder Tribulation for Cultivation, their jaws would drop to the floor!

However, there were conditions for using this special Cultivation method.

First, the person attempting it had to be able to endure excruciating pain!

Because drawing lightning into the body was no simple matter.

The powerful lightning would completely destroy a person's internal organs and meridians! Although they could be repaired and reconstructed afterward, becoming even stronger, the entire process was excruciating. If one couldn't withstand it, the likely outcome was death by bodily explosion!

Second, one needed a Magical Artifact capable of absorbing lightning.

Such a Magical Artifact could not only weaken the intensity of the Celestial Thunder, preventing one from drawing in an excessive amount and causing their body to explode, but it could also be used to save one's life at a critical moment when they were about to be overwhelmed!

And as it happened, Zhao Yuan did have a Magical Artifact that could absorb lightning.

The Wind and Thunder Whip was a lightning-attribute Magical Artifact; it could not only release lightning but also absorb it.

As for enduring pain, Zhao Yuan didn't think it would be a problem for him. Since embarking on the path of the Witch Doctor, he had endured numerous and intense torments, long since developing nerves of steel and a strong heart. His only worry was whether the Bone Woman could endure it.

So, Zhao Yuan said, "I have a method that can allow us to use this Thunder Tribulation for Cultivation and greatly increase our strength. But this method will bring immense pain and torment. If you feel you can't handle it, we'll figure out another way to resist the tribulation."

"I believe I can withstand it!" the Bone Woman said in a deep voice.

When she was alive, she had craved power. In death, that desire had not diminished but had instead grown ever stronger. Thus, she made her choice without hesitation.

"Good," Zhao Yuan nodded. He quickly imparted the Thunder Attraction Body Refining Technique to the Bone Woman. At the same time, he took out the remaining Qi-Containing Jade, crushed it into a powder, mixed it with vermillion ink, and, dipping his Talisman Brush in the mixture, drew a Talisman Array on the floor.

Then, Zhao Yuan took out the Wind and Thunder Whip and placed it in the center of the Talisman Array. He and the Bone Woman then sat cross-legged on either side of the array, within its core nodes, awaiting the arrival of the Thunder Tribulation.

Ten minutes later, a sudden peal of thunder erupted from within the oppressive black clouds!

The thunder was so loud it shook the entire building, startling everyone in Rongcheng City.

People instinctively looked up and saw a thick bolt of lightning descend from the sky like a Flood Dragon emerging from the abyss to hunt its prey!

Outsiders only saw a thick and terrifying lightning bolt, but Zhao Yuan and the Bone Woman truly felt its horrifying power!

The lightning bolt shattered the window and charged into the room.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan had prepared in advance and cleared the room of all furniture; otherwise, a fire would have surely broken out.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the lightning struck the Array.

VMMMM!

The Wind and Thunder Whip flashed with electric light and was the first to absorb a portion of the lightning. Immediately after, the Array split the remaining lightning into two streams, directing them toward Zhao Yuan and the Bone Woman respectively.

"Activate the Secret Technique!"

Zhao Yuan shouted the reminder, but in the next second, he could no longer make a sound.

The powerful Celestial Thunder brutally surged into his body. Guided by the Thunder Attraction Body Refining Technique, it forcibly destroyed his organs, meridians, muscles, and blood vessels, only to then begin rebuilding them!

The agony brought on by this method of destruction and reconstruction far surpassed any torment Zhao Yuan had ever endured before!
